I see a deep sadness in this comic even if it tries to make a joke. Be alone, doing things alone, return at home alone, what is life? something matter? all feels so void and sadness.
As an old man now I much prefer being alone, it’s just way safer, everyone’s so uptight and crazy these days, I’m scared to say something unintentional that will offend somebody or touch on some new political conspiracy theory that somebody feels weird about and I’ll end up a Tik Tok meme for being innocently old and unintentionally ignorant of the new vocabulary.
Beer just makes way better company than some self righteous strangers any day of the week, and if I need to keep up on news I’ll just surf Lemmy for a bit and I speak as freely as I want to here. Fuck human beings in general.
I have thought the same for almost ten years of begin alone (im 35), now I am in a parentheses of revolution, perhaps I will come back to think like you when I am again defeated by life.
I honestly wish you the best. I’m not an asshole, and I know this sounds bitter but after what I’ve seen and experienced I really have no faith at all in humanity and given up on society both as a locale community and as a global whole. I don’t care what happens to “us” at all, in the Ukraine or Israel, and definitely not what happens to the climate or planet after I’m gone. I don’t wish to change the world or contribute to society or leave a mark on this place at all anymore, just to selfishly enjoy the pleasures of the flesh (alcohol, video games, porn) in between work shifts until my time is up or I decide it’s not even worth it anymore, and to in the meanwhile be fucked with by other human beings as little as possible anymore until then. Select members of my immediate family are the only exception.
Good luck to you. Despite feeling this way, I still hope good and honest people have a decent human experience and get along as they deserve. So if you’re one of them, this applies to you.
I don’t blame you, and I think I understand the pain, I’ve been repeating myself for the last ten years that I’ve already died, I still repeat it before bed. I share disinterest in the facts in the world, you are fully right in the interested only to your realities like yourself and your family, I don’t think there is much more when you were born as excluded, I feel so myself, my battle has become another. I no longer seek my happiness because I don’t think I’m suitable for it. But, you are the obvious proof that there are people with the same sensations, and then my purpose is now to try to find the closest physically to me and approach it as throwing me into a pit of thorns wirhout any fear.
That’s the good thing about MTG. A first round kill is theoretical possible, but buying the cards costs you several k. Also the card needed for this is banned in almost every playmode.
Are you arguing a high price point for MTG is good? That’s laughable. A game should be balanced by play skill. I play cEDH which has turn 1 wins but they’re infrequent and I never expect my opponent to actually own the cards. I want to play opponents, not their wallet. Some formats are financially restrictive and that just plain stupid.
That’s why I also mentioned that those cards are banned in almost every format. Of course, skill is better than money, but because of the complexity of mtg having a good deck makes a huge difference. Also just so that you know. For a round 1 kill in mtg you need to draw the black lotus(which you are only allowed to have once in your deck), the card channel fireball, one red mana and a shock. You need to draw all this cards in order to insta kill your opponent. It’s very powerful, but also very rare.
At least you’re onboard with skill>money. Your example is referring only to Vintage though. There are plenty of turn 1 wins in any of the Eternal formats, there have also been turn 0 wins (win in your opponents first turn upkeep). Even in Vintage, there are many more ways to turn 1 win, without Black Lotus. In cEDH turn 1 wins are uncommon but there are plenty of decks where they can occur but to your point, it is very rare. cEDH has the added benefit of 3 opponents trying to stop you but even then early wins happen. The banlist being built around casual Commander but used for cEDH doesn’t help.
Because who buys spices at the regular grocery store, it’s like $4 for a 50g bag. You gotta go to the Asain grocer or Indian market for those delicious half kilo bags for $6.
Then put them in an old pasta sauce jar and shove them in your pantry and let them get old and off gas their aroma until they’re just bland sawdust…but act like you’re still better than other white people because you own spices.
I used to play Yugioh when I just came out in my country, along with the anime. I was curious about getting back into it a few years ago, saw all the confusing bs going on, and noped tf out.
When I was a kid, I was super curious, almost annoyingly so. Now, it’s hard to indulge in it, because of how depressed I usually am, because I don’t have a job. I hate being an adult…
Yugioh is so much more fun if you just han mechanics like xyz, pendulum, synchro and all that unbalanced “new” bullshit and just stick to the OG mechanics. It’s still not well balanced and you can absolutely still do 1tks but it’s much less common.
Yeah. When the extra deck was used just for monster fusions. At least for casuals like me it was much more about risk management before the battle and during the battle, rather then just setting up deterministic OTKs.
