stuff like "you can disable blood tokens with Pithing Needle because there was a card printed in 2013 that was called 'Flesh and Blood', but that name actually refers to two separate game objects called 'Flesh' and 'Blood', so you can name just the half of that card that shares its name with the token" is probably bad for the game overall but it's the kind of thing that i personally want more of, y'know? part of the draw of magic to me is that they've made so many cards over the past 30 years that of course there are bizzare, arcane interactions like that. it lends a sense of mysticism to the game, and makes its best players seem more like wizards

i fell in love the moment i learned what happens when you destroy [[Oblivion Ring]] with its ETB on the stack. it felt like, if you're wise enough, you really could do anything. it felt more like noita than harry potter, apologies for that but i don't have a better analogy

the most No Fun Allowed decision in MTG in recent memory imo is changing the default name of a token from its types to its types plus the word "token"

they did it so you couldn't use [[Pithing Needle]] to shut down Blood tokens by naming Blood from [[Flesh // Blood]]

there was also a nebulous thing that nobody could agree whether it really worked or not, but there was a good argument to be made that if you could give yourself protection from a chosen card name, you could use the silver border card [[Ninja]] to get protection from ninja tokens

@Aleums @vriskommunism yeah, the game is really strict about allowing permanents to be attached

@Aleums @vriskommunism only card in the game with "loses protection" on it is [[cephalid snitch]]

@Aleums @vriskommunism i can get so close but i'm not quite there

i can turn it into an enchantment but i haven't quite gotten it to be an aura

i'm trying to figure out if there's anything weird i can do with mutate and, maybe a temporary clone effect, to animate the sword and copy its rules text onto another creature that has useful rules text, then turn that into a non-creature enchantment... but even then if i can't make it into an aura it falls off when SBAs get checked

i do not understand nostalgia for when things were worse

is it tacky to wear a shirt with a picture of yourself on it

achoo

@Aleums what.......

last night i dreamed that i drilled a hole in my wall so worms could get in, and worms came in, and i hated it

forget where i saw this. might have been here even

@Aleums when i saw the movie Unfriended one of my complaints with it was that, surely if the ghost was going to prevent you from performing certain actions on facebook, the way to do that would be to interfere with the network requests when you make api calls. it feels like totally unnecessary extravagance to also modify the DOM to add whatever css classes grey out the links. my version of the movie would be worse but i stand by it

how does money work in dr. suess stories... the machine for adding stars to the plain-bellied sneetches costs $3 but mr. mcbean says that "the first to go through gets the trip at half fare". all the sneetches in line pay with one bill and one coin. how do you construct the currency such that $1.50 and $3.00 are both one bill and one coin? i hope somebody got fired for that one

@Aleums off the top of my head... when was eugen finding out that "toot" is a funny word and blaming hbomberguy for embarrassing him

()() is not a palindrome but ())( is

i was sick of typing cd into my terminal, pasting in a path, and then realizing that i had actually copied a whole cd command that no longer worked because it started with cd cd. spent a few minutes putting this in my .bash_aliases file

"but holly now you can't go into a folder called cd" sure i can. cd cd cd

you come to MY house. fuck MY wife

noticing that my posts on foss lex are getting reactions except for the one that asks "do you believe in me"

took some steps today without a walker or anything. just genuinely walked a little bit

every day that 2km distance to the convenience store and back feels a little shorter
