I don’t. It works so well in books and as a podcast, precisely because we all have our own mental images and versions of The Man in the Tan Jacket, the Blinking Light, The Dog Park, etc.
I don’t want it to be a movie or TV show, because I don’t want someone else to tell me what Cecil looks like, or how the studio is set up. I already know all of that, and it lives very happily in my head.
This. Omg, this. This is why, while I love the movies and how they’re portrayed, I hate that my memories of the Harry potter books were replaced by the images from the movies. So much of my childhood imagination was supplied by those fantasy books and now it’s been remained by someone else. Hermione didn’t have the same in the books, Ron wasn’t as tall and lanky as he was described, and Harry’s scar wasn’t in the right spot as I remember it in the books. Let’s keep the imagination where it belongs, in our heads.
This time last year I was unemployed, broke, and suicidal.
Today, I just got the keys to my first house.
Give it time.
Needed this today
I need this every day. Today especially.
This time last year, I was working an endless job, living in a shack of a house, broke as fuck. Now, I have a good job, a wife that loves me for reasons I’ll never know, and the ability to move around (almost) freely.
That means free access to Photoshop CS2 - and that already has most of what you could ask for, really.
All you have to do is create a FREE ADOBE ID.
I am not sure about commercial use, but MAN. FUCKIN’ SWEET DUDE
Reblogging for the greater good.
I’m unlikely to pick it up as I honestly never use PS anymore, but here everyone who follows me. Free stuff.
oh wow this is perfect i was just lamenting that i’d have to buy creative suite for my new laptop WELP
Signal boost for any of my followers who need art programs!
The cs2 programs date back only a few years, and still have much of the functionality of today’s more modern ones. The differences between most of the versions are little more than slight modifications or additions of minor features, and UI changes. Go for it guys!!
So I just noticed that there are a shit ton of porn blogs following me. Nothing wrong with it, just noticing a trend. Maybe I’ll get on here and actually post something of substance. Probably not, but there’s a sliver of hope.
Have I told you guys about the random guy who joined our commander game one time
He had an Avacyn Angel of Hope deck so right from the start we were like “okay… We’ll see…”
(I believe the other decks in the game were my Aurelia, a Mizzix of the Izmagnus, and Selvala elf tribal; good decks, but nothing too competitive.)
So we’re playing pretty normally, the Avacyn fanboy is filling his board with little humans and angels and not doing much, until he finally plays Avacyn.
Then on his next turn, with the smuggest of expressions as if he’s the first person to ever think of that, he casts Wrath of God - which, of course, would leave all our boards empty and his looking fine with by now a decent number of little humans and angels.
There’s a pause, the Mizzix player says “Hold on… In response to the wrath, I’ll cast Turn to Frog on Avacyn.” (Thus getting rid of her ability and making the boardwipe hit his own board as well.)
There’s silence for a solid ten or fifteen seconds.
And the Avacyn player picks up his cards, says, with the utmost contempt, “This is why I don’t play with Blue players”, and LEAVES.
Then we all look at each other, as though we just shared a collective hallucination and wanted to make sure everyone else saw it too, shrug, and finish the game.
Go waah more somewhere else
Matt Tabak said, "creatures with power 4 or greater have flying." wouldn't work as expected. Can you explain why?
It’s not that it wouldn’t work, it just would work really really unintuitively.
Let’s try a little thought experiement: You control the enchantment with “Creatures you control with power 4 or greater have flying.” You also control these creatures:
Vile Aggregate (and three other colorless creatures)
Crater Elemental (with its formidable ability resolved)
Timberpack Wolf (and two other Timberpack Wolves)
Hooded Hyrda (with five +1/+1 counters on it)
Calcite Snapper (with P/T switched through its landfall ability)
Siege Rhino (just Siege Rhino)
Which of these six creatures would you expect to gain flying from the aforementioned enchantment?
All of them, right?
Well you’re wrong. Out of these six creatures, only Siege Rhino would have flying.
Welcome to one of the major quirks of the layer system. Because of how it’s set up, effects of different types are handled in a specific order.
(That order is copy effects, control-changing effects, text-changing effects, type-changing effects, color-changing effects, ability-modifying effects, power and toughness -modifying effects.)
This means that the effects that modify things in earlier layers can’t look at things from later layers without giving unintuitive results.
When our hypothetical enchantment goes to grant flying to creatures, we haven’t applied any power and toughness modifying effects at all, so our example creatures don’t have any of their buffs applied and it sees them with the following stats:
Vile Aggregate as 0/4 (Its power is undefined, so 0 is used instead.)
Crater Elemental as 0/8
Timberpack Wolf as 2/2
Hooded Hydra as 0/0
Calcite Snapper as ¼
Siege Rhino as 4/5 (smug bastard…)
So yeah, that’s why it wouldn’t work. It would only work for creatures with an actual printed power of 4 or greater and ignore any other effects that would modify that.
(BTW, the first five creatures are each examples of the five P/T sublayers. These are all the classes of abilities that wouldn’t be taken into consideration. In order: characteristic-definining abilities, power and/or toughness setting effects, increases or decreases to power and/or toughness not from counters,
increases or decreases to power and/or toughness from counters, and power and toughness switching.)
Jesus I forgot that I hatred layers. Thanks for reminding me why I hate them so much!
Upon seeing the phrase "Innistrad Poker", I now desperately want a pack of playing cards that uses Magic-art drawn from the history of Magic. There could be color-assignments to groups of numbers, or suits, or cycles & legendaries assigned to face-cards, etc. The possibilities are limitless! Has there been such a WOTC-product before?
Teach children that there’s nothing wrong with this
I’m really not understanding why you think cultural appropriation would be ok, unless you are assuming that the girl in the picture is part Japanese.
Yellow face yet she’s using white makeup in the traditional style but okay.
Cultural appropriation isn’t a thing, hon. ☺️ Cultures should be shared by all means.
I disagree. The makeup is clearly reflective of traditional Geisha makeup which is yellowface and therefore racist. Furthermore, the girl is wearing a kimono, a garment that has for ages carried cultural significance. Assuming that she is white how can you think this is ok? And cultural appropriation isn’t a thing? What rock do you live under? I suggest you educate yourself on the differences between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation.
I am japanese, in japan at this very moment. The only people who think culture shouldnt be shared are racists like you.
A vast majority of Japanese people actually enjoy other people making an effort to spread and enjoy japanese culture, and encourage it. Many make businesses in deliberately taking pictures of people in kimono. A common omiage (gift) for foreigners from japanese people is traditional japanese things such as kimonos, tea seats, shisa dog statues, ect.
And to top it off, basically 80 percent of japanese customs, traditions, and food, came from other countries. Japanese is an integration of different cultures, like america. Japan takes influences from places like korea, china, russia, and europe. If japan stuck to itself, there would be no tempura, japanese tea, tea ceremonies, kabuki, japanese bread, japanese curry, j- pop, anime, cars, or modern fishing techniques. The picture is not “yellow face” they are not making fun of asians. In fact, it looks like they put extra care and research into their work.
The only reason that you have a problem with this is because that little girl is white and you know that it is acceptable on tumblr to crap all over white people. The only racist here is you.
Safe spaces are so ridiculous. If you can’t stand to be around a certain race, gender or sexuality, then you’re the problem.
This. So much fucking this. I’m tired of hearing about black speeches and LGBT gatherings and Gaymer communities online and all that kind of bullshit. If you feel like you need to exclude everyone who isn’t like you then you have some goddamn issues. Is your race/gender/sexuality/etc. really the main part of your identity? Pathetic.
“B-but prejudice and-” okay so you think everyone in the world who isn’t a part of your specific demographic is going to be prejudiced against you so you decided to prejudice them? I mean come on, if someone causes trouble you kick them out regardless of who or what they are.
I’ve said it a thousand times and I will say it again: Any kind of exclusivism based on factors beyond an individual’s control is closet-supremacy.
Ah tumblr, you make me love posting things on here. At least or was only 3 people and not a thousand. Good job guys.
MASSIVE STAR WARS SPOILERS!
Ok, I can’t take my anger out on facebook because so many of my friends still haven’t seen it and I’m not going to ruin it for them yet.
I have serious, SERIOUS, problems with the movie. First off, they have officially destroyed any and all canon that comes after return. They killed about 20 years worth of books and ideas with one whiny, bitchy, angsty, emo Hayden Christensen wanna be. God damn they made kylo ren a bitch. Waah waah I wanna be like grampa because no reason at all! Han and leia sired three badass kids with super fucking deep stories and now we will never see them.
The second thing that bothered me was the pacing of the movie. It was a two and a half hour snooze fest. It had its moments, don’t get me wrong, but throughout the movie, NOTHING HAPPENED. What they gave us was two hours of “here’s a couple new characters, a shit ton of cameos from actors that just wanted to have their name on a star wars movie that wasn’t shit, and we kill a major character for no fucking reason other than the villain is a big bitch”. That’s what we fucking got. It was all just introduction to Rey, Finn, and kylo ren with a sprinkle of snoke.
The last thing that really, really fucking bothers me is that it’s not a new story. It’s not. Don’t say it is. It’s like the writers didn’t even try. The idea behind it is there’s a big bad guy with a giant moon/planet like spaceship that’s blowing up planets/planetary systems, the big bad guy has family issues, the main crew hides on the falcon to not get caught, they have to lower the sheilds/blow up a port to open the ONE WEAKNESS TO THE GODDAMN SPACE SHIP, in the end, the good guys win, the bad guy runs away and we’re stuck here waiting for a second film in this trilogy, hoping it won’t be a repeat of the prequels.
I’m so fucking glad I didn’t spend a dime to go see the movie. I want to go see it in theaters, just for the experience of going to the movies. I’m still fucking disappointed. I had high hopes for you jj. You made a beautiful cinematic piece if art with no new story, mediocre acting, and it sold to the world like snake oil. I’m kinda glad you turned down number eight.
this is my personal blog, but i also tend to reblog magic the gathering things, porn, weed, and other things that may grab my interest. thanks for the follow.
