Hitler's meddling in military policy and fixation on impractical ideas had a big effect in hamstring ing the Nazi war effort.

What other "mistakes" did they make?

A U in "colour"? An S in "realise"?

...

If you're trolling: well done, wanker.

That's fair and reasonable.

I'm curious about the risk-reward chart, where how much you'd both need to end up with at what chance/via what methods to make you be for it.

(I'm probably one who you'll disagree with a lot, as I think stealing can be OK.)

I didn't like the first series, and would've quit it at episode 3 or so but I ended up without internet access for a couple of days and the whole series downloaded... It got better.

But yeah, life's too short for TV shows that take time to be taken on faith. And if you did finish the first series and still not like it, more power to you.

Worse, the IDF was under orders to expand the Hannibal Protocol to civilians the whole time, too.

Hannibal Protocol is the order to kill Israelis rather than allow them to become hostages.

What about a world where we both have $2,000?

Cathay gets the mark of distinction of being the only human non-European culture. And they don't get minis. (Edit 2: that line aged out of validity pretty damn quick.)

Orcs get to be the one non-human arguably European faction. And as much as they are, it's more lower class as a whole which merges with other ethnic groups.

But fish mint is delicious.

Wash the roots and snap them into little bits, toss them up with some diced onion and chili oil.

The leaves go great in salad.

It's Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.

If it's not barely stable and without at least one game breaking path that's not even that rare they're not living up to the name.

Invidious is an alternative to YouTube. It scrapes the content and presents it to you without trackers or googlerithms, or adverts.

So obviously in a big cat-mouse game with Google over it working or not.

Edit: it's federated, I think - or at least instance based, so anyone* can set one up and stick it online.

*anyone with servers and the hacker chops to be a network admin

The cracks were there in the second.

The goal to string things out with more series just makes things worse. And characters archetypes don't mesh well with the development as the writers want it all to be archetypal.

Groff-Eric was the best thing about second series. It made main guy even harder to stand.

But then I always root for the second girl, so how else could I feel?

Zizek, Capitalism's socialist.

Is he somehow still taken even semi-seriously by Leftists these days?

 

At least as appropriate in this year as when written.

 
 

Not my favourite Moonchild Sanelly track (Gwara Gwara), but it's fun and just I love the revelling in bi-ness here.

Edit: also riffing on her older and more fun (and sexual) track Boys and Girls.

 

How did you all get on at your prereleases?

Looks to be a synergy set as despite opening Lumara, Maha, and almost one of each of the reanination spells in the set I went 2:1. =ł ah well.

Matched up against a fun deck blinking Head of the Homestead with the token class enchantment. Luckily it doesn't do well against Vren the Relentless.
On the other hand it turns out that Azure Beastbinder is a top tier threat, and synergy can beat power.

Still I can't complain about opening chase cards. What about all of you? Any fun interactions or moments from your prerelease?

Which decks leaving with rotation this autumn are you sad to see go?

For me there are two big ones: Rakdos Anvil and Mono-Blue Cauldron Combo.

Rakdos Anvil has been able to turn into Mardu Warleader's Anvil, which can kill out of nowhere with Ojer Axonil. It's a lot of fun to play, but yes not a tier one deck at the moment. Gets wrecked by Temporary Lockdown, unfortunately; but still does alright if not great.

Mono-Blue Cauldon Combo is, in my opinion, more consistent than the GU Culdron Combo that remains. It can be surprisingly aggressive as a plan B in case oppo is focused on disruption, and with new additions from MKM (Forensic Researcher) and OTJ (Harrier Strix) is more powerful and consistent than even. Does very well on ladder, but is a bit of a hassle to play on Arena, because infinite mana isn't handled well at all. That might be why it seems unexpected and steals a lot of wins. Doesn't actually get wrecked by Temporary Lockdown, because you can bounce it at end of turn and get all the combo pieces back and then just go off.

But what about all you other Standard Appreciaters? What decks are you sad to see go at rotation?

 
 

Jace, the Wallet Sculptor reprint (as a fox) in Bloomburrow Commander.

Anyone manage to win with either of the artifact decks (Token Resistance and Artifact or Fiction)?

The others all seem to go hugely over the top, or just trample over them each time I try to play them.

New reach effect in arena to make it very obvious.

Secret reach is now instant speed tricks only. =( (Though I've attacked into more than my share of reaching cyclops.)
