Mine have indicated that they'd be happy babysitters if I were to pop any out. Thankfully they don't seem to be in a rush

I think it's because I have a few younger siblings that are still in the "need support" phase

I'm still not even sure whether mana screw/flood is bad for the game

RNG has to come from somewhere. In magic, it's land draws. In hearthstone, it's the hyper RNG card effects. In Yu-Gi-Oh, it doesn't exist and is why the game relies on aggressive power creep and sucks

Magic's system seems to have the best outcomes to me

college is whatever, but culture/media tries to sell the idea that it HAS to be the most amazing time of your life

just don't worry about living up to the hype and you'll be okay

don't drink soda. don't feel like you have to drink alcohol 3 nights a week, or even 1 night a week. GET SLEEP. be honest, matter-of-fact and respectful about your feelings to your classmates, dormmates, and friends. Be quick, quiet and kind in moving away from unhappy friendships or unrequited loves.

I said this already, but get sleep! I recommend melatonin pills if you're having issues, which you can buy over the counter at convenience stores. It took me way too long to emotionally accept that staying up an extra few hours wasn't going to make my life better.

losing sleep makes you hungrier, makes you less aware of your surroundings, and less amicable. sleep's benefits multiply upon themselves and make every single other hurdle easier to clear

keep a scale in your room so you will at least know if you've been doing okay. loosely keep track of what you're eating so you can make rational decisions. Realize that hunger is something that you're supposed to feel, which then motivates you to hunt and eventually eat- rather than something that you should completely avoid by pre-emptively eating

college can be tough for weight in both directions (overeating because you HAVE to eat before 9pm/cafeteria closes, undereating because cafeteria is a 15 minute walk away and you can't be assed). a little bit of mindfulness and tracking can help you adjust

i hate it whenever any character in any media looks like they're getting up on a soap box and channeling the views of the writer/creator- regardless of what that view is

so with that at one extreme, i also recognize it's impossible to remove all learned experiences from your creations

as long as it's not hitting me over the head, and i don't feel like the media forces me to agree with them, it's okay

but i mean yeah 24's glorification of torture does dissuade me from watching a bit

Yep, I'll agree with all of that. Don't really have much to add

Not that I'm blaming the artists or anyone in particular, either- the players gave praise to certain styles and the market responded

But you aren't the president of the United States, you don't have a huge team of people researching and briefing you before an important meeting like this one.

The sad part is that the current president of the united states doesn't use any of the information available to him, and instead consistently shouts knee-jerk bullshit that is provably, undeniably untrue

i used to give the benefit of the doubt, but after so many objectively false statements it is difficult to believe

Yeah the game is absolutely amazing

In many games, either the story ends up getting in the way of the gameplay (mgs4) or the gameplay ends up getting in the way of the story, mostly by ruining pacing (Mass effect)

The third/fourth options are completely getting rid of either story (rocket league) or gameplay (I guess visual novels)

Last of us was unique in that I think none of the above happened. The two worked together to create a greater experience

spirituality is different from religiosity, so i guess it's not that surprising

easy to say 'if a god is real, how come X?'. a little bit harder to say 'if there is an afterlife, how come Y?'

i'm 100% positive that what i consider to be "me" cannot exist past death, but i also can't rule out the idea that the canvas of experience won't be painted on by something else

not trdl, but i think it's all about how you want to get enjoyment out of the competitive scene, and what your vision of the competitive scene is (winning as often as possible, local recognition, mastery over a particular deck, tinkering, etc)

what your answers are to that might lead to different advice. end result leading to draft vs. standard vs. modern vs legacy

no matter what, it's going of involve talking to your local dealer and figuring out where to go and what to do

i'm not really qualified, but i'm guessing the answer for you is going to be that short-term, net-decking a competitive standard deck (buying singles) is the cheapest. however, eventually the legality of that deck will rotate out and you'll have to do it all again.

long term, net-decking a competitive modern deck is probably the cheapest if you'd be happy playing one thing forever. On the other hand, the up-front cost is greater.

then (or probably before then) talking to your local dealer about where to go for tournaments is the next step. what people do in your area might influence you as well

if you just wanna git gud/level up personal skills and don't care about other parts, you can always just draft every week

someone please correct me if i'm performing crazy talk

The Professor just dissected everything wrong with WotC discontinuing FNM promos.

the solution i've seen thrown around (i mean maybe it's too late now) is to create some kind of casual saturday for newbies, and keep FNM what it was

like i guess wizards' coal in all this is to have a smoother ladder climb for new players. Rather than going from casual, friends and prereleases straight to heads up drafts and tournaments against best player in your town, final destination. they want to add some steps there in the middle

and i can totally understand that. i wouldn't necessarily want to subsidize the local super tryhards with my money when i'm not even sure how seriously i'm going to be playing the game in the future

they just shouldn't disassemble the legacy and life traditions of FNM for that
