I might have been slow on the uptick but today I had the realization that all those guys talking about googology are just powerscaling numbers

Well, it's no cribbage, but it'll do

The other day on Arena opponent starts with a blue leyline. I just assumed it was Singularity (not even in pioneer) and that they were on some Devotion pile. It was Anticipation and the threat of activation on "anything I do they can skip my turn" was unreal. Cool pile, couldn't find it on mtgtop8

Rules for takebacks were made more lax in 2018 when a different incident sparked outcry for being too punitive. In this december 2025 a new incident sparked outcry about the rules being too lax and people wanting them to be more punitive. The serpent eats its tail, I go to my room and jack off

when faced with a new type of problem there seems to be no ability to try and tackle it logically and, even worse, no interest in even attempting to do so.

I really hate to see it.

Maybe if I find and throw enough fun puzzles at them something will start to click. As Smullyan used to tell it:

I've been tutoring kids for a couple months or so. I mostly teach them math, and mostly to ages 12 and up. Obviously there's some selection bias, the kids that don't struggle with school won't be there, but it's still really rough. Absolutely basic arithmetic skills are straight up absent, and

Well, that-
No that checks out actually. That tracks.

Is the game Weaver Dice? From what I heard it's not necessarily a bad system, but to "play Worm" it's probably not as good as stuff like Masks or other superhero RPGs

Main character of foremost online web serial Worm, her pitch is what if a bullied teenage girl was actually Walter White, and also Spiders-Man?

Every time I see Taylor Hebert I do the "omg she's literally me" thing, and that's by far the biggest red flag about me that thankfully nobody knows about

In Arcs playing a card during a Trick allows you to take actions depending on its suit, winning a trick means that you are the first player for the next Trick, and the trump suit is always the one played by the player going first. There's a lot more to the whole game, but this is the quick pitch.
December 6, 2025 at 6:42 PM
which means that fourth player could win the whole hand with just a 2 of Spades. The 6 of Spades is, at the moment, a stronger card, but still not guaranteed to win the trick if the fourth player has a higher trump, and also if the trump suit changes goes waaay down in value. What do you play?
December 6, 2025 at 6:42 PM
For example:
Let's say that the trump suit right now is spades, I'm third in turn order out of four, and the other two just played a 7 of Hearts and a 10 of Clubs. The two cardsleft in my hand are a 6 of spades and a Queen of Hearts. The Queen is really valuable but all these cards are non-trump,
December 6, 2025 at 6:42 PM
There's typically some mechanism to determine what the trump suit is, and then players draw a hand of cards and play a card per trick, and the player that played the best card, where any card of the trump suit beats any card in a non-trump suit and otherwise higher beats lower, wins the trick.

First off, I endorse this purchase.

"Trick-takers" are a family of games generally played with decks where the cards have suits (like a regular 52-deck of cards with hearts diamonds clubs spades, I assume you know Balatro). A "trick" is just the name for a round of play.

I put off reading the rulebook for a bit because I still haven't managed to put Oath on the table in over a year, but yesterday I was like "woah, this is... this is smooth as butter. I almost *miss* not having to do the whole song and dance of "so actually, every player is playing a different game""

somewhat generic to interact with it, and a Storm is an intuitive pick for "Event that's understood to be catastrophic but does more damage to things than to people". Most other games don't really have a similar abstract object on board to deal with, so they didn't have to come up with a solution.
November 22, 2025 at 9:54 PM
The bit is that while a face-up Spell and a face-up Trap, and also a Monster whether face-up or face-down, are all really distinct things, but a face-down S/T is something really abstract, it's closer to a card in hand than something that's actually on the field, so you need something that's

The month after MST and Giant Trunade come out in the same set, so these 3 were likely all designed together, and later in the same year you get Dust Tornado, Gust, and Driving Snow all in the same set. At this point I think it's fairly consolidated that "S/T Removal" is the domain of the weather
