Dies to Removal

I guess the "fuck diversity" crowd is happy

It's one weekend. These decks could end up just being another GW Devotion.

I'll be happy if Esper Dragons, GW/x Megamorph, and one more deck stay on the top until Origins.

There is a whole lot of shit on the pile for this, not just "wah we have to pay for games." I hate the prevailing opinion in gaming where people should just accept getting fucked over because "fuck you, you entitled consumer."

I mean, valve has been shitty for a while now, but this is just the cherry on a shit sundae for them.

I think people are being entitled consumers. But this thing whole thing has been a fascinating train-wreck. People are downloading mods from websites and putting them up themselves on steam workshop and charging for them.

and then this gem
Mod name: Horse Genitals High Resolution Textures (PREMIUM MOD)
Description:Your Skyrim Experience will never be the same
Price: $99

I mean, if modder want to charge for their mods, go ahead, its other people's imperative whether to pay or not. The bulshit is that this doesn't even benefit nodders. valve takes 75% of the profit from the mod, and only gives the modded the money if they make over 400 dollars with it. That isn't "support" that is just valve being shitty and trying to crowd fund dlc.

Though it is valve, their entire business revolves around getting other people to do shit for them

Daniel Negreanu is streaming poker on Twitch.

This is awesome.

The worst part of the pt randy beuler. Listening to that guy is pure suffering.

marshall suitecliff just declared "duress" as "foul tongue invocation" during the standard portion of day 1.

Anyone got some good pro tour predictions? I'm thinking silumgars scorn will be dominate.

Looks fun, no idea if it's optimal yet. I want to play Siliumgar and Ojutai, and this list does. So there's that.

I don't think Magic rewards you for stubbornness. Sometimes you need to take a break, even when you're grinding. Pressure, self imposed or otherwise doesn't really seem to help. I think people tend to play best when they're really enjoying themselves.

Well Zem, we were never really close and to be honest I don't even think you would care what I say.

I'm not going to make some long post supporting or knocking you down. There are plenty of friends and enemies doing that already. Just know that everyone goes through some life changing low in their lives that will make or break you. Some people will learn from the mistake and come back stronger than ever. They take it as a very painful life lesson and learn to use the experience to better themselves and come back a better person. However, some people choose to take the easy way and wallow in despair. They are full of regrets and no action, refusing to pull themselves out of the muck they got themselves into. These people will forever dwell and let the event define who they are in a negative way.

Don't let it break you.
