This reminds me of a podcast (an episode of This American Life maybe) where one of the reporters talks about being surprised when someone mentions Nazi’s in The Sound of Music because they only ever saw up to the intermission and thought that was the entire movie.

This has become a standard on analog clocks and watches (presumably to avoid confusion with VI), but for some reason IX and XI (for 9 and 11 respectively) is fine.
Personally I’d like to see IX and IIIIIIIIIII.
ETA: I guess IX and XI are ‘fine’ because they’re not upside down, but my point still stands.
The Knight special is obviously the passive ability to jump over other pieces.
I… didn’t realize that the Omens weren’t Adventures. Makes sense now because I thought a few of them looked pretty strong.
I don’t think this is strictly true anymore with the new Oracle language. I think the Legendary answer is correct. Skimming a Scryfall search I don’t see any Legendary’s matching “Whenever this creature enters or attacks”.
I thought that might be the case and looking at other Legendary’s spoiled it seems to be. Thanks!
What’s the rationale for when they don’t use “this creature”?
I discovered that much of my problem was the stock ink that came in it; it felt terrible to write with. I ended up ordering a Parker Jotter and replacement ink, so I’m trying both out to decide which I like better. I think I like the form of the Jotter better, but it’s quite small and light. I like the weight of the rotring 600 more. I think I’m going to try both out and return one of them. Or just keep them both, I haven’t quite decided yet.
I got one yesterday and I’m thinking about returning it. It feels very underwhelming. I expected higher quality.
My understanding is mostly a bird flu but also inflation.

1·1 year agoIt looks like it treats anything that’s already capitalized and the beginning of a number as a new word and inserts a space before. So in practice it might not mess up the code too much, but I’m not sure why it doesn’t behave more similarly to the others.
I was curious so I looked it up. Guess it’s a card from Commander Masters - I had never seen it before.
Not included in their text, but it is in the screenshot. Probably helpful for you to point it out though, not everyone is going to read the code in the screenshot.

Edit: Editing this 3 months later because this is my most recent comment and the typo is haunting me.

Regarding the Marvel movies, I’ve slowly been working through them because I missed the bus when they were big and only saw a handful here and there (Doctor Strange, Guardians Vol 1 and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies, which are actually pretty good).
I made it past the first Avengers movies and I think they start getting better after Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Avengers: Age of Ultron, but oh my gosh if the majority of the movies up to and including the first Avengers aren’t incredibly mid at best. I think watching them after all of the hype as they were coming out loses some of the charm, and I have to give props to what they accomplished creating a Cinematic Universe. But they are just so whatever.
Just kind of rambling, but the whole MCU seems to be incredibly over-saturated and I would be amazed if they are able to continue to carry popularity even close to what they had leading up to Endgame.
It literally said in the linked post that this isn’t the case…
