nice!
It's already new month where yall are at?
yeah
yep!
Incredible
Were always ahead of you 😛
Timezones
i can't use my computer date bc i never changed it after moving from america
I'm 9.5 hours into the new month
Australia by any chance?
Yeah, timezones are so far apart it somehow lines up well with other parts of the world sometimes
Surprisingly none of them are 6 foot 4 and full of muscle
That song is truly just false advertisement
And most the time timezones are the literal worst
Ikr!? I'm a 1 foot 4 pokemon in a not 6 foot 4 hooman suit, I want a refund :p
i'm still convinced that timezones are the reason my sleep schedule has fallen so far
Same
all my friends live on other bits of the globe and i must be awake to talk to them
I want to chat to a lot of cool people online
But theyre only awake when its 3 am here
You know what I mean dammit
I might move to Canada in the future just to solve that issue
But then I wouldnt be able to talk to the european folks I know
I was thinking of illegaly moving to new zealand and becoming a hermit
i like your icon ocelo hehe
it’s almost 8 am but my body wont sleep
i forgot my sleeping meds ):
Irl lord of the rings, except there's no one ring to rule them all
Let the Body hit the floor
lmaoo
If there is one benefit from my poor sleeping schedule
Its that my ability to make bad puns and stupid jokes is unparalleled
i mean i say i have a poor sleep schedule but frankly since the age of about 12 i've always had a tendency to sleep in late and go to bed late
Its not my sleeping schedule, society is just unwilling to adapt to night owls :S
i have mad insomnia
Going to bed and waking up on time are pretty easy for me
Getting restful sleep however is rare
i literally can’t sleep without medication
Well, better than getting neither of those, I suppose
):
True but meds often have sideeffects
Not sure
welp
The docs said I don't have sleep apnea
I was thinking too greek
what’s apnea then haha
when you stop breathing while you're sleeping
ohhh ohno
He basically has to wear an oxygen-mask thingie just to sleep
Oh and its likely Ill develop it at some point, isnt that fun
Sleep apnea, also spelled sleep apnoea, is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or periods of shallow breathing during sleep. Each pause can last for a few seconds to a few minutes and they happen many times a night.
its just a positive air pressure device
that sucks :<
I really need to lose weight to lower the risk
Unfortunately my body is not cooperating
Thanks, but Ill stick to just eating less
Its easier for me, ironically
keto has worked very well for me
I just start stress eating sometimes
it's not for everyone
in which case I suggest you start living your life surrounded constantly by stressors, that way instead of stress eating you're just eating
:D:D:D
Ah, the forbidden Anxiety overflow technique
Stress someone so much they become completely tranquil
Im just glad Im only a little chubby rather than really fat
i got a bit of chub too, for an asian ):
As someone who's been really fat, and has burnt out quite a few beta cells, I suggest against
my mom constantly tells me im fat.....
you should beat her up
(plz don't actually, that's rude)
ugh
Not brave enough ;n;
🔪 if you live a healthy lifestyle (varied diet, moderate exercise) and "can't" lose weight, it's probably because your body is just meant to be that way
like exercise is good for you but it has nothing to do with weight
I've been gaining weight recently
due to weight lifting and eating for weight lifting
(I hope)
(I should probably track my BFP)
Nah I know I can lose weight
I even did for a bit, then gained it back unfortunately
if you lose weight on keto (or any other intensive diet), that's not "really" losing weight
the reason you regain it is because it puts your body into a stress state
Nah I just ate less for a while then started stress eating
Though its a bit odd because according to BMI Id have to lose 15 kilograms to be "normalweight"
Keto is pretty easy
But Im pretty sure 15 kg isnt something I could lose
i'm gonna kick bmi's ass
because you just dial the carbs up gradually
Its like, you eat the same meal you've always eaten but this time with like, some fruit
Like, 5 easily, 10, sure
But 15 (and this is the upper border) is just not very, idk, realistic-sounding?
Then again Ive got a broad build
So maybe that muddies it a bit
And also, you gotta dial it in for you. A lot of people who gain weight after keto don't make the lifestyle change
and that's the key
Honestly though, sometimes I envy tall and lanky people
the amount of envy I feel about some people is downright unhealthy
I've got a long torso and short arms(on average) and it makes deadlifts really annoying to do properly 😛
I suppose it would
For me my left leg is a bit shorter than my right one, so running sucks
I'm glad that I'm average height.
Staaaaaaare
i’m 5’1 lmao
What are those in real units
Smol and eh
I dated someone who was 142cm once
Tbh, if I were to go out with anyone, Id want them to be shorter than me
the girl I knew in HS as my best friend was 5'1 and she punched my lights out.
girl was a real tomboy.
I'm already in love
Maybe Im not as Aro as I thought
probably how I learned a lot of fighting moves
lol @hasty kernel
Please, tell us a flaw so I can be more sure about being Aro again
i think punching people in general isn’t very nice haha
"this one time a short tomboy beat me up" Me and uno swoon
No >:|
Hey it mightve been justified
Though Im more on the short tomboy hype train than the punching people train
i used to be on the judo team and everyone i had to flip was taller than me 😔
I made up a flaw: She exclusively listens to nickleback
Problem is, athletic girls most likely are not interesting in a chubby lazy slob, so
but i guess that was to my advantage
It definitely was
more leverage and all
Eh, I can handle someone who likes nickleback
As far as flaws go, thats insignificant
Creed?
she wears crocs!!!
I dont hate crocs, so
Don't diss crocs, thor wears crocs
hahahahaha
A lot of my friends and I had crocs back in the late 2000s
because they were good camp shoes
super light, relatively waterproof comfy as all hell
So you take off your hiking boots and put them next to the fire and wear crocs aroudn after you set camp
it’s weird but i like the feeling of getting flipped
They aren't the most durable shoe I've ever warn
lol
I hated that
I liked judo and aikido but I broke both my wrists :<
Ive always had a bit too much weight, and no good way to soften the blow
And I wasnt able to use my weight to my advantage either
oops
But it still hurts
I need to take a shower and color my hair
But nothing from it
i thought you broke your wrists in some other way ocelo? o:
but I'm a coward who's scared of going out in public with purple hair
yeah
I broke em falling off a horse
but judo makes 'em hurt
this is why im scared of horses
i have silver hair rn
Purple is an amazing colour
and purple hair is so cool!!
Horses are a couple tons of pure muscle and hatred and I don't know why we still bother to keep them around now that they're technologically outmoded
Yknow, I actually dont like coloured hair
you should show us ocelo!!
not that falling off one and breaking both my wrists has changed my view or anything
aw ): i love coloring my hair
But I had bad experiences with people with brightly coloured hair
silver is my trademark now though
So that might be why
Oh no trust me.
well, people w colored hair aren’t a collective ):
I'm happy I met her.
I know
Otherwise I wouldn't have taken up boxing as a hobby.
Its not a rational dislike
I can't box either :<
it’s okay
And its not like I hate everyone who has coloured hair or dont change my view
Honestly, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up with weightlifting
She also taught me how to break peoples' legs so.
Its just a bias
I can at least say I was slightly violent
Do you have her contact info
you can do it ocelo!
she has a family now though
Curses
Is She poly?
unfortunately, I walked away from her because of my personal feelings involving a dead friend
guys hahaha
aww
Oh
oh :<
My condolences
That sucks
It's been ten years
i’m sorry
I've moved on
And this is probably where I have to bow out before I get a panic attack while Im alone at home
but at the time it was bad
you okay uno? :<
I'll just say this.
My door's open for DMs.
Because while I'm young, I do have a very strong grip on life when it comes to what I feel and think.
my dms are open too
I don't believe in doors. I have a beaded curtain
Yeah it seems Im in control, finally
Good, good
I got rid of my anger issues alltogether, and now even fear isnt stopping me
Now I gotta work on my weight and Ill be a functioning member of society
I'll make it brief.
A near-death experience made me wake up and actually take a second gaze.
That is all.
Hm, the one I had (if it counts really) actually totally didnt affect me
Looking back, Im not sure why
I mean it reinforced my dislike of cars, but I never liked em
i believe in you uno!
Thanks
☺️
Anyway on a lighter note
Why arent there short tomboys with remarkably low standards anywhere nearby
there there uno, maybe you haven’t looked hard enough yet
anyways
I mean Ive not looked at all

that'll do it
I decided to put my lore into a google doc
well then ya gotta start right?
so I'm glad I did something today
lore? o:
bye bye seafraaa
I wouldnt even know where to start
me, to my therapist: i can't find a girlfriend and that makes me sad :(
my therapist: have you looked for a girlfriend, like, at all, or in any way made your interest known
me:
me:
me: woman drinking water angrily,
HAHAHAHAH
On account of not drinking and getting headaches from loud music
Kinda limits your options
how old are you uno?
a lot of preliminary dating takes place online -- i've had some luck with tinder
oh one other thing
you can arrange to meet at a coffee shop, or a library, or someplace quieter
21
no mortifying ordeal of being known! only the rewards of being loved!
don't drink your lights out
Idk, somehow Im averse to online dating
I drank too much to the point that I can no longer feel the effects of it on my mind.
hey we’re the same age! well i’m turning 22 in less than two weeks but
you’re still hella young!
lotsa chances
your liver ):
Im turning 22 in a couple months
also my liver's fine
And yeah, I suppose
I just had too many Jagerbombs
Im not particularly worried about it because Im also not strongly attached to the idea of a relationship
this conversation
I drink wine now
i feel too baby its scaring me
i like rum, and sometimes tequila
I still advocate for not drinking at all
I actually can get drunk off of wine.
OH DANG
Let sleep deprivation be the only drug you take
i can't say c*cktail
Rum is also fine.
Hah
oh my goooood
Thats hilarious
But I turn into Jack Sparrow when I'm with Rum.
gin is good in ... mixed drinks ... but i'm not a huge fan of it otherwise
I guess Proxy is a bit of a chicken
heheheheh
proxy said no alcohol
"WHERE'S THE RUM?!"
stay safe kids
rum is good
Youre all turning into Captain Jack Sparrow
ohh my mom used to get this ... rum made with cacao? that was so good. like, that stuff mixed with hot cocoa on a cold night? 😊
but the makers stopped shipping to the US :'(
i got a bottle of rum horchata once, that stuff was pretty good
ooo i wanna try
i don’t really drink much though like, it lost its novelty after a while
i only drink when im out w friends or if there’s an occasion
Yknow what, maybe in the future when full VR rigs spread around the world, relationships will be easy enough that even I can be bothered with them
Plus everyone gets to change their appearance to exactly how they want to look
i’m sure you look just fine uno ^^
Ehhh
I mean when I just shaved properly and get a haircut I just look like a fat Gendo Ikari
Which isnt the worst thing, I suppose
not the worst at all! ^^ nothing wrong w a lil chub chub
all the more for hugging
that’s how i see it
I suppose
Itd be less of a problem if my standards werent so much higher than my own level
maybe you’re just not your own type 
it does, doesn’t it? 
OK
So my hair is now about 40% more purple than it used to be
maybe it will be more pronounced once it dries
or maybe I just didn't put in enough?
but either way
I'm already running late
ooo late for what?
dinner with some friends
have fun!!! ♥️
feelin' that "want to go out somewhere but don't know what i would do if i did go out" mood today lads
Well, walk, I imagine
that is a good guess
sadly all the nearby walking i wanted to do has been done
i could hop on a train and ride for a couple hours to take a walk 🤔
Come out to dinner with me and my friends!
if they came more often it wouldn't be such a pain 
i would LOVE to but i think the ocean is a problem
Yeah, it's a jerk that way 😑
I guess I can sea the problem here
living in the inaka means it's beautiful literally everywhere but also if you miss your train by 5 seconds it's an hour and a half before the next one comes and there's nothing in or near the train station
Also, downsides of living in germany: smaller music festivals have only german music
And most german music is bad
i’ve never been to anywhere in europe
The language is really ill-suited for singing
I need to go back to Munich one of these days
Lol
i've been to greece and france; passed through munich airport at like 6 am and that was my experience of germany
They make good food, but theyre strange
it was october and cold and rainy
Hm, lets see
Ive been to the UK, to France (well, its basically on the border between france and germany, so the exact amount of france I can handle), Belgium, Netherlands, Croatia, Italy and Spain
Your France experience is the same as my Canada one.
Free travel area means visiting a lot of different countries is fairly easy
im jus...smal asian...
Of all of those, Id say I enjoyed Croatia and Belgium the most
Oh and Italy
Spain was nice but they had this big and loud catholic holiday or something
ugh i wanna go to italy
france was very not my style
In the middle of the night
Honestly Ive only been to a small coastal city in italy and rome
So I didnt see much of the country itself, merely the surrounding sea and the ruins of their ancestors
i wanna go to europe one day
but it’s hella expensive and i only know english and two asian languages
I mean the UK is still technically europe
Plus english can be enough in a lot of the bigger cities
In germany even in smaller cities
nice
A lot of the younger generation have actually decent english
Im slightly above average
english will get you by with reading the romance languages for the most part
france was fun because i could read every sign but couldn't speak or understand any french to save my life
uno your english is impeccable haha
french seems complicated
like the pronunciation and stuff?
I mean, I still miss words and my spelling and grammar just goes awry sometimes
pshh nonsense it’s great haha
french suuuucks
like it's hypocritical, as an english speaker, to say that any language sucks
but. french sucks.
oh yeah!! the four-twenties thing? hahahaa
but i guess japanese is kind of similar
English may be a hodgepodge of languages
japanese is way easier than english, at least on the grammar front
But at least its easy to learn and sounds normal
and the pronunciation front
like in japanese “one million” is “one hundred ten-thousands” hahaha
japanese grammar is so regular and i love it
the hard part is when you realize that it's so context-dependent that literally nothing will make any sense separated from its immediate context
also, keigo
that’s true!
i think my sense of like...implied subject has gotten better after a couple years here
but i still get confused
i wanna learn japanese ,, :( my best friend wants to do it for uni
you can do it! 🙌 like i said the grammar is very regular
aagh i’m busy learning spanish atm
and spelling/pronunciation is a non-issue
once you learn hiragana and katakana you'll never struggle to spell again
kanji is the awful one but if it makes you (and me) feel better, apparently younger japanese folks have been losing their kanji knowledge because of computer use
In fact, isnt there a french word thats 7 letters none of which are pronounced the way theyre written
is it oiseaux
yes
wa-zoh
yeah i had a principal who was named mister l'oiseaux and i was so mad when i learned how to spell it
gkdfjhgdf lwahzoh
my name is monsieur du l'oiseaux
Now I just imagine a Lucha Libre Wrestler called "El Wazo"
hey do you wanna see a french pun i made while i was studying
Who just wears a chickenmask
monsieur du l'oiseaux is my drag king name
learning kanji can be fun though! it makes you feel super smart haha
it's so grindy ;w;
Of course, Kanji is a smart boy after all
Well, he is more cute and wholesome than smart I suppose
but yeah like
just for the sake of this pun, i want to start a monastery beehive industry and call it
"L'abeilles de l'Abbaye"
"bees" and "abbey" are pronounced the same gkdjghdfkjg
素敵 ステーキ is a japanese pun that amuses me
“suteki suteeki”
literally “nice steak” haha
i made a hades pun in my translation that played off of めちゃくちゃ
Thats just Chie rambling
you can use めちゃくちゃ as an adjective that means "messy" or "jumbled" but also it's an adverb that modifies adjectives to mean "absurdly" or "wildly"
Chie Satonaka, Persona 4 character
She is actually kinda interesting, but fandom has basically labelled her the "steak-obsessed tomboy"
so that bit after the first run where hades is like "How have you enjoyed your wanton ransacking of my domain?" and zag's like "My ransacking was a delight"
you can render it like
H: 我が国土をめちゃくちゃにしたが、どうだった
Z: めちゃくちゃ楽しかった
我が国土 is so pretentious god i love it
oh man i’m just so amazed that it’s the kanji for country and under and i’m like
i don’t know what i expected hahaha
Now that I think about it, Persona 4 may have had a hand in me liking tomboys
at least we know your type now uno hehe
Well, one of them anyway
who else do you like?
Hoo boy
Well, short tomboy (or short with short hair) is one option, but also "really smart, with long hair and a very gentle appearance" I guess
Maybe more, I never thought about it too much
Oh and for guys its basically people who look either like Idris Elba or Ignis Scientia or Noctis
kdfjghf i've been translating the game little by little for a japanese friend who's very into it
her commentary gives me life
it's extremely time consuming and i'm not very good at it tho so it's been uhhh a process lol
i've translated like...2 hours of gameplay so far? probably
People who translate games otherwise not translated are such saints
Its the only reason I got to enjoy PSO2 at all
pso2?
i did some japanese to english for a visual novel waaaaaaay back in the day
and i've scanlated a couple manga oneshots
english to japanese much harder
Phantasy Star Online 2
doing the lord’s work ven
Its an MMO thats fairly big in Japan but never officially localized
oh yeah i think i’ve heard of it o:
Its got really good gameplay and I was always a sucker for the Phantasy Star portable-esque series
Oh yeah, I still havent watched the remaining DGS2 english translation
I preferred it when it was subtitles, but the only one around is a live translation :S
what’s dgs2 o:
Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2
Its a couple of Ace Attorney games that werent localized because they were very japanese
The first one is fully subbed on youtube, the second one saw the translator basically vanishing, so the live translation is the only option
oh!!!!!
It has sherlock holmes who was great in the first one
But I have a certain suspicion about him in the second one
BIRDS GOOD
I MEAN YES
do you want to see my Boy
Y E S
: c
hang on i'll dm you the photos
The Adventure Zone: Amnesty spoilers under the cut:
||Griffin McElroy what the actual heck did you just do? I'm not used to major character death, you can't just say "and then a player character dies with at least one episode left in the campaign. Also, a literal Rocks Fall Everybody Dies."||
oof i hvent caught up w amnesty
It's absolutely amazing, the latest episode is 2 hours long
oh man
last time i listened ||ned's old partner stole all his stuff and aubrey got a cool glowing eye|| but it sure has been a while huh
pls tell me i didn’t miss a taz conversation >:o
i’ve only listened to balance :( i cant get into amnesty for some reason
balance made me feel so much
i couldnt get into amnesty right after bc i was still invested haha
then i waited too long to get into it
and the backlog has built up
😔
something about amnesty just hasn't grabbed me the way that balance did
yeah :(
Well, finished Outer Wilds
Lovely game, highly recommend it
Even if the last stretch is a little weak compared to all the buildup
Also biggest jumpscare in the game is a literal rock
ROCK
Also, Screw the Quantum Moon
The solution to getting on him is actually hilarious and kinda smart
But then doing what youre supposed to do on it sucks
Actually, I just realized the last stretch is even weaker than I imagined
The whole story just kinda undoes itself partially

GOOD DOG
(j.kiakas wrote cool enough books too)
(like english equivalent of light novels)

What does Ace mean?
Asexual ^_^
You're welcome 
tfw my first mock gcse exam i open the paper and dunno anything
oh right
today is a tolerance day
that's why I'm so tired
this was the wrong channel but I'm too sleepy to care
tolerance day?
its tolerance day so ill tolerate you posting in the wrong channel
I don't take a medicine that I normally take in order to prevent developing a tolerance for it
oh ok
re Dead Cells: there's even a complete plot now!
like. a storyline! it took them a long time post-release for them to go ahead and put a narrative into the game but there are cutscenes and an actual ending and everything
Oh damn
That game truly is a blessing
I swear to God, they've become better and better at it too, its amazing
Wait wasnt the ending a cliffhanger
Story? In a roguelike? 
I mean, the ending is written so that its events don't put a stop to the basic gameplay loop -- starting over at the beginning is still diegetic after you've gotten it -- so some may disagree with the word "ending", but I think it's as much of an ending as... not to spoil anything, certain other games I feel confident many of us here have played
I should try dead cells again
I bought it when it first came to Early Access and then stopped playing a month or so after
it's way better than it was a month into EA
It's... a good game
Not one of my favorites, but the experience of play is often very satisfying, so I play it more often than I find myself playing games that might be overall better
like, sometimes i just want to kick a zombie so hard that enemies in other rooms spontaneously die from the force of the blow
I go to it whenever I want a platformer roguelike
For those of you who recall the previous conversation on hair cuts
I have cut the hair
Woo
Now i make this face all the time ≥﹏≤
...Because you express joy by making that face?
Because i haven't passed the week of awkward yet
I'm sure its still rad
I asked for x length and the hairdresser gave me a style cut
It's a few cm shorter on one side to give me an emo looking fringe
On the plus side i had so much hair it would be the same price
Is there anyone here who knows Magic but not Dark Souls?
Magic as in MTG?
In that case, ye
Never got into Dark Souls
If you mean parlor magic, a little
If you mean actual magic, no
MTG, yeah. I need to know what the flavor of this comes across as to somebody who doesn't know the source material
https://i.groupme.com/375x523.jpeg.e455395ad24a407aaae371b1788be21d.large
I mean ignoring that its busted beyond hell
If you have no creatures you lose
I uh, guess its supposed to be a sort of cycle of the world?
No need, just blink it repeatedly and gain absurd amounts of mana
In fact I think its infinite with a card in WAR
If your opponent doesn't have removal for an enchantment or your creatures, you'd win anyway
Doesnt really matter
Just have a blink outlet
And you generate mana for a storm kill or smth
I'm confused now. What blink outlet goes infinite with this?
Lemme check
The only activated blink effect that returns immediately I can find hits creatures and costs colorless mana.
Weird
Ill look at this in a bit, gimme a sec
Guess its a 3-card combo that goes infinite
Thats ... fine, probably?
Couldve sworn there was a repeatable Felidar Guardian
There is, but it only hits creatures
Anyway, Flavour feels like a cycle of the world that I guess theoretically slowly kills out the world
Except not because you can summon more creatures
That's Dark Souls, yeah. I'm glad to hear the story comes across!
Still think its probably a bit broken
It's a ritual with upside, true, but if your opponent can disrupt it you just lose
Im wary of the "if your opponent can disrupt it you lose" part
Since uh
Pact of Negation and Pact of Summoning have that
And it doesnt stop em
The Pacts are a lot harder to disrupt than this, and also have a higher immediate impact.
Idk, with Pacts if you stop their combo and they dont have enough mana (they usually dont) they lose
This has to tick 2 turns ot be able to kill the player
And if they either destroy it, or just prevent you from killing under it
They get a free 4 mana
It's not free, it's 3 mana
I'm confused what you mean, then, because if you destroy the enchantment it stops the cycle
Oh right
Only if they prevent you from killing under it
Which is not exactly hard
traditionally Sagas affect both you and the other player equally, at least in the first lore step
this one just screams Black Lotus
Both red and black have been getting ritual effects long after black lotus was recognized as broken beyond belief
Also, most sagas only affect you
Fall of the Thran and The First Eruption are the only symmetrical ones
It might be fine, Im just wary of that much mana for free
Even after the first time, it's not free. You pay three mana the first time and need to sacrifice a creature to get it every other time. It requires you to sacrifice a creature every other turn or lose the game
if you have no creatures by the time you'd be playing this, you've lost already
It's 3 mana, what time are you talking about?
Well, let me put the worry into words
You start with this at 3
And play something for 4, its effectively a free 1 mana boost in that turn
Then the next turn you hold up any instant speed token creation
In your upkeep when step 3 triggers and you have no minions, you play that
And then you suddenly have 3 extra mana to work with
4 if you didnt have to play a token
Thats Tron mana
If your deck is using its mana to create tokens and play big things, you're forfeiting interaction with your opponent
(Also, chapters are triggered in main phase)
Sounds like time for playtesting
It's a custom card, and not one I'm designing to be played
As in, I'm not going to print it out and put it in a deck
Im a bit confused about the persist part flavour-wise
The First Flame starts calling the dead back to life to rekindle it in order to start the cycle anew
Wait, how does this resolve?
T3 you play it main phase, t4, then t5 it is blinked. Then immediately t5 does it come back into play and give you 4 mana for free or is that the next turn?
Immediately when it comes back turn 5
So after its played its an alternating 4 mana/give your creatures persist thing?
I realize earlier I said every other turn you sacrifice a creature, that was a mistake. It's every three turns
Yes
I'm pretty sure its every other turn
because three and one would trigger on the same turn
Yes, then two would trigger the following, then three the third
Anyhow, First for balance I'd make it legendary
because imagine more than one of these bad boys running at the same time
particularly with any token generation
No saga has been legendary yet, and the only effect that stacks favorably is the add 4 mana.
I like the theme but I think that the mana generation is weird and leaves it open to exploitation
maybe have 1 be "create a 2/2 red black ember creature token"
no
=\
It would be a black Knight creature token (because how could I resist that sweet pun?) And even then I would rather it do something else because the token doesn't benefit from persist
The Age of Fire, in the lore, brings prosperity and warmth, and I figured that's best represented by either life gain or mana, and since black doesn't gain life without either paying another cost or draining it from something else, and black and red both generate temporary mana, I figured this was ok
a friend of mine who plays a lot more MTG than I do said he thinks it would be well designed if step 1 was "deal 3 damage to all creatures"
other options he listed are, "return a creature from your graveyard to your hand" and "take 1 damage for every creature you control and draw that many cards"
but he likes the first one I said the best
he also says that WotC has a blanket ban on printing cards that provide more mana than they cost for standard
That would not work flavorfully, as The Age of Fire is a time of prosperity, nor would it fit with what I'm trying to make, which is a card that does only good things for you, something that black/red is soeely lacking in but wholly capable of. Also, 3 damage to each creature is already on another saga
This wouldn't be for Standard
I'm just saying what he said
He's like, a huge magic dude, goes to VPs and stuff
We have to tear him out of arena to play dota 😛
The undeath is already on chapter two of the card, and flavorfully doesn't come in until near the end of the Age in lore. As I've said before, the first effect needs to represent growth, and black/red doesn't have many ways to do that. I appreciate your efforts, but I'm quite happy with the effects the card has, and I came here to ask if the flavor came across cleanly.
why not just "gain two mana of any color, draw a card"
you get value and it isn't busted
That's more powerful
yall ever listen to websdr sometimes?
theyve got radio recievers hooked up to the internet so you can hear the whole range of radio in that area
im currently listening to the warbling at 16111 kHz
if i was more patient and good at morse i bet id find some neat stuff on here

broadcasting MYN over and over
oh wow theres a lot of morse in that range
... sharing an old favorite saying my mom used to tease us with whenever we ate watermelons.
"if you eat a lot of watermelons, you will become 我的美人"
( get google to translate it AND to read it back to you verbally )

i tried to read it as japanese which was obviously nonsensical
that's a pretty good one
i've always liked how if you click the "listen" button on google translate a couple of times in a row the voice will slow down
like speaking louder and slower
oh shoot

friends!
Rukey Greentail conducts the Rites for the first time (837 A.S., colourized)
Hello everyone, nice discord ya got here.
Why does that sound vaguely threatening
"nice discord ya got here. be a shame if somethin' were to... happen to it..."
@nova pilot you just reminded me that I have the top post on /r/pyre with this image http://i.imgur.com/zTNll2h.jpg
"early rukey concept art"
Oh man, no way? That was you?


Oh hey, fancy new Discord Nitro feature... Only one more person needs to do a Nitro Boost and the SG server can be Level 1 👍
What does that do..?
The biggest thing, in my mind, is the bonus emoji slots. We could have all the emojis
At Level 1 the server gets an extra 50 slots
Well, given we’ve got 15 kilopeople here, I reckon we could even get to level 3 reasonably quickly
250 is a pretty decent number of emojis
We only need 50 people with Nitro to Boost this server for level 3... Come on, we can do this 
Well, 49 more
I already did 
but then I would have to pay discord money for convincing all my friends to get on a centralized IRC 
mumble had all the important features of discord but was open source, decentralized and super lightweight. >:|
😔
and are probably autistic wrow xkcd guy i trusted you 😔 jgjhghjfhj
In defense of Randall, One: That comic is not exactly new, and 2: cueball in that scene is obviously supposed to be the bad guy saying bad things
true true! yeah, no real hard feelings at him, more was just surprised
Fun fact, Randall actually has a trans sister 😃
how many "transistor" jokes does he make at her, is the question
I can ask, but I haven't talked to any of them in a while and it would be quite the weird nonsequitur
omg you talked to them!! you know the xkcd guy!! very cool
and you know his sister!
"talked"
"know"
I know his brother
I've talked to Randall and his sister but I don't think either of them remember me
huh
turns out that I can't use cheapo-nitro to boost servers
so guess I ain't doin' that any time soon
Cheapo-Nitro?
they have nitro, which lets you have games, then cheapo-nitro which costs half as much but still gives you EMOJI POWERS
Hmmm, maybe 'cause I'm an early supporter I get the best of both worlds. 'Cause I definitely have "cheapo" Nitro but also access to the games for 2 years for being an early supporter
nitro is not that expensive by itself but when I'm poor even $10 feels like a lot...
I wish we can watch ads to gain nitro
:delugethink:
The selection of games on Discord isn't good enough for me to consider paying $10. They're either titles I mostly already own or just aren't to my tastes.
gotta make it sgg prob hfjfjf
.....trans imp
all the reference images I can find are exclusively Ti'Zo 😦
Also I am bad at drawing things from whole cloth
nose adorably batlike
there's like a whole page of imps somewhere right?
@sharp grail i feel like u know this.... where is mojito the imp from
I found this Ti'Zo image which could work https://imgur.com/xGzurVb.jpg
that looks like someone elses art,, we cant use that ;;
it is, but its just discord emojis
There's some howlers in the foreground of the stadium
nah thats no good, needs credit/permission
I found 3 images of imps drinking things, but its also someone elses art
especially if! it gets passed around as a contextless emoji...... so sad 😔
there are definitely game imps to use!
ok that’s got to be savi’s art
in the imgur? no
I'm intrigued that that's apparently a topic
THAT IS
no but mojito is from the game right
Yo I have a traditional Ti’zo drawing y’all could color and use
like it was a file name i thot
It’s magician Ti’zo tho
oh!!!
yeah!!
Lemme go get it
😄
wagon inps yes!!!
Interior_idle is definitely a wagon imp
god I need to ask in the next q&a about Mojito Origins
Hhhhhh mobile bein dumb but it’s in newp-> from: Serendipitea#0248 has: image
I get that that's a search string but I'm not sure what newp means
are you sure it shouldn't be sewp?
it would imply sewing which we do very little if at all at soup
I sew a little aha
I have sewn before
This is all very cryptic, I just realized, so soup is the old supergiant fanserver that existed before this one, and this server is newp, which stands for newpergiant
what store are you in
IM AT SOUP
I'M SO CONFUSED
WHY ARE YOU BUYING CLOTHES AT THE SOUP STORE?
And yeah I think soup is called soup instead of sup because of the soup store
I love the new Pokemon designs
Wooloo is babey!
wooloowoo
Hell yeah!
I have a friend named Lamb and she's absolutely overjoyed with Wooloo's design so I've been sending her every Wooloo post I've found
god i love corviknight and i'm going to be upset if there's no tower of london equivalent that's full of them
i'm also a big fan of the fact that the champion's outfit is a footie strip with a cape on top
and a hat.
look at this glorious mess. i'm so proud of him.
I'm a big fan of Leon's entire design. He's very good looking
he looks like someone told him that as champion he has to look the part and his reaction was to just put a cape on
Yeah
I gotta say, I actually quite liked the environments shown
The switch to 3d really helped make some good-looking environments
Still not gonna play it since Im not a Pokemon fan, but hey
i'm sad because they finally make a region based on england and it's for the switch :c
i'm probably gonna end up buying one at some point
Not enough pubs to be based on england tbh
Also are trainers just supposed to be the football stars of this region?
For that matter, how is wailord gonna work with the whole size-up thing
Biggest Boi
Like, doesnt he just straight up explode the stadium
We'll see
dynamax your wooloo for Maximum Floof
Also, my boy Flygon was in the trailer a whole two times!
#flygondeservedbetter
