I can post the current list on the discord, but I have a custom Jump-Start box that I built that is a LOT of fun to play with. It has pre-sleeved 20 card theme packs (bagged in team bags) and each player picks two at random to shuffle together for an instant deck. The packs are also super fun to design, and I think the sleeves cost more than the cards themselves. Keeps a consistent power level between players and doesn’t rely on newer players having to figure out how to draft/build a deck correctly.

So I definitely agree with MaRo that Magic isn’t one game, but actually several distinct games with shared pieces and rules, because Commander is not for me personally, and I have been playing Magic for most of its existence. I get why people like it, but it doesn’t scratch the same itch as playing in a constructed event for cash. My only real complaint with Commander is that it is a terrible way to on-board new players, and maybe losing with some janky brews at FNM isn’t the atrocity some players have made it out to be.

I keep to the honorable, ancient ways- drafting for $20s

Please let there be other oldheads on there, so we can talk about Invasion block constructed, how terrible Masques constructed was, how good and rewarding Caw-Blade was for disciplined players, etc

So the “cool” part of this is obviously deeply ironic, but I think the bit hinges entirely on the fact that Hunter is such an extreme fuckup to the point of caricature. While I genuinely don’t know anything about him other than what was said on Chapo, I do think it’s funny that the son of a sitting president once ascribed to Liberation Theology (which is good). Also, Don Jr. would absolutely shit his pants if he was in the same room as Hunter, which would be funny.

Web 1.0 is roughly the early internet up to the start of Facebook. Web 2.0, which we are in now, is the consolidation of the internet into a series of “walled gardens”, where most people engage with the internet though one or more platforms (FB, Twitter, etc), the rub being that these platforms are moderated (and privatized). Web 3.0 is not a thing (yet?), but it’s the idea that decentralization through blockchain technology will create a new “phase” of the internet

Andross’s enemy is MY enemy!

PEH-PPY! Long time no see!

Andross has ordered us to take you down.

Which one did I like? ME?

He has his pick, because even the guys who don’t like him see the VP as a temporary role until Trump croaks. But yeah, it’s fascinating to see who can thread that needle. Certainly not Meatball Ron at this point

JD Vance trying to get close to Trump through Don Jr is hilarious

Also, I haven’t watched Mythic Quest, but AP Bio and (especially) The Mick were great

It definitely fell off overall, but every season has at least one good episode. The water park in season 12 (as someone else mentioned), is a true classic, and I really loved the Risk E. Rat’s pizza episode of the most recent season- if you only watch two episodes after the series peaked, it should be those two.

The water park episode is a classic- one of their best because it just takes these very insular little monsters and unleashed them into a stand-alone adventure into a separate defined little world and them just thrashing against the restrictions of the park

Conservatives read garbage like The Turner Diaries and get their ideology from that, Leftists read the broad spectrum of theory and get their ideology from that. Liberals read Harry Potter and have no ideology.
