If speed running counts I was once top 10 in the world for speed running a puzzle game. Since then I’ve dropped into the 20s and the video has been lost

I mean this shouldn’t surprise anyone. They said there was a card likely to be banned in pauper, they printed a better version of a banned card with 1 additional color, then they banned it. All my pauper friends didn’t even bother crafting decks with this because they knew it was gone

This is a classic for a reason. We make everything as inhospitable for bikers as we can and when they work around it somehow they’re the bad guys

The only reason I listen to Film Reroll is because it’s about movies. I don’t even listen to all of them, just movies I know will be fun/I’ve seen. Fifth Element, Mighty Ducks, Aliens, Last Action Hero, and Memento (which was incredibly cool how they did it) are the ones I’ve listened to since 2020.

Something about actual play just irritates me, especially for D&D. I’d just rather play myself

I’m fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:

• Doughboys
• Doughboys Double
• Get Played
• Get Played Season Pass

Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They’re about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:

• Quick Question with Soren and Daniel
• The Film Reroll

Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games

Dick is/was a relatively common nickname

Oh man, that answers some questions I’ve had for a while. Some of the podcasts I listened to have custom ad reads and then some will just blast the same ad as another unrelated one. Especially considering I get republican ads on podcasts with very liberal hosts. Plus gambling ads fucking everywhere

That… would also be part of the adaptive suite. So instead of your phone turning the screen off after being “inactive” it would stay on

At one point when Republicans did their latest shitty thing to trans people the Wachowskis decided to auction off a bunch of props/awards/memorabilia to fundraise for a charity and I won one of the lots with this in it. Amongst other awards

I’d probably bring this. It’s the actual award that the Movie V for Vendetta won for being certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes

Money has an impact but is largely irrelevant outside of competitive environments which you’re clearly not in. There are $40 tuned pauper decks that could walk all over your edh deck. You can slot a $2700 Tabernacle at Pendrale Veil into any deck and that isn’t going to make it better. Are you ever going to beat a $25k fully powered blinged out cEDH deck? Probably not. But as a new player your likely issues are with building efficient mana bases, prioritizing cards that advance your game plan over being fun, and making your deck more consistent. Nobody says you’re required to do any of that, just understand what your goals are. Do you want to have fun, make friends, and/or win? None of those are a wrong reason to play magic, you just need to pick yours

The American legal system is racist. In other news today: dogs bark and bears shit in the woods

For what it’s worth I had it too and while I liked peach much more I remember blue as a cream soda variant. So maybe try some of those and see how close they are

I may be out of mana but fist is a cantrip

I actually speed ran some of the tutorial. Turns out you don’t actually need all that much out of the 2nd grade level. Makes the college stage a little trickier because people unlock drinking before you but otherwise it was helpful

As a Scrum Master myself this isn’t a question anyone outside of your work flow can answer. I’ve worked at organizations where we expected people to complete 8 points of work per sprint, and some where we expected people to do 30. Additionally, from a pure philosophy stand point, points measure complexity/uncertainty not time needed to complete the task. As such, you should be both reducing the average number of points per feature and increasing your average velocity over time.

OK, semantics aside, here’s some useful advice: jira has free accounts for individuals (check with their licenses before you sell any work) and is obviously built for software development. You can also install addons like Clone Plus that will let you clone epics and the stories within them. I’d recommend making a shell epic that contains the maximum amount of work a project would take, then appropriately size, sequence, and relate all stories to each other. After you have that template epic you can clone it and all the relevant stories underneath, then using Jira dashboards put them in the order they need to be done and use your estimated weekly velocity to see what you can do. Then you’ll have a list of tasks, how many points they total, and a rough timeline of story delivery

It’s a great vacation read! It’s pretty light and fun, I’d recommend it for that

The book Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi actually explains this for the megafauna in its universe. It’s not a perfect explanation but it does well enough

Raw carrot sticks and cucumbers would go well if you have a dipping sauce besides ketchup. Gives a variety of textures and tastes but it’s all still finger food

Interesting suggestion. I’ll check that out next time I’m there, thanks!
