@zdch @rtfeldman Yup, sometimes you even feel relief as it’s happening because you got irrefutable evidence as to why it was out of your hands. E.g., they play multiple broken rares

@zdch @TheZvi I think people in the western world have internalised fixed mindset to such a degree that anything resembling constructive criticism is seen as rude. As a result you see a bimodal distribution of bad reviews as “it’s bad but I’ll be polite” and it’s just terrible IDC 1 ⭐️

@zdch @TheZvi It’s quite a bit more nuanced than that. The ratings inflation is way higher in the USA than Europe, but even within a single country varies by the object of rating. E.g. restaurants in Croatia below 4.5/5 on gmaps are sus, while people are usually way more critial

@zdch @RealMayaLuna Not everyone realizes that continuing to eat junk while starving yourself is neither healthy nor will necessarily give you the result you want: metabolism slowing down, no energy etc

@zdch @RealMayaLuna Cut out saturated fats and high GL foods. Eat lots of grains and beans, fish, lean chicken, steamed vegetables, fresh fruit. Put only olive oil and a touch of balsamic on salad. Exercise. Drink water. Don’t even need to count calories at that point

@zdch @SaffronOlive Also came up with the key tech: accept you’re going to mess up the recruiter pile some % of the time so put another recruiter within ringleader range to fix it. Also, board out prospectors and laugh at mindslaver ;) what did you play?

@zdch @SaffronOlive At PT:NO, facing Bosh with greaves and a tangle wire. I have 3 lands in play, dead on board. Figured I can float mana into draw, td Rack and Ruin to kill greaves and an artifact land. Then my opp must miss a land drop and I can pillage bosh. It happened and I won the match

@zdch @Noahpinion I THINK it’s a combination of serious people taking themselves out of the pool by ending in a relationship and the apps trying to prevent that from happening by intentionally feeding mid quality matches to keep people coming back

@Avalogames @LordMassapo Isn’t the event this qualifies for paper? He’s banned from paper magic, so makes sense to pass down the invite

@NikachuMTG Wait until you hear that you used to be able to assign damage as you liked among blockers (dmg on the stack) instead of in order. So you could’ve damaged multiple then mop up with pyroclasm

@zdch @Tyler_A_Harper That’s just believing in your model, plus refusing to alter it when evidence tells you it’s wrong and being unfortunately very good at optimising for it

@zdch @Tyler_A_Harper You mean very good at building a decent model and then believing it 100% corresponds to real life?

@SaffronOlive It’s pretty clear in the rules that what’s not allowed is to determine the winner improperly, such as splitting then conceding. There is always space for completely ludicrous interpretations of the rules, but that’s usually a judge power trip.
