@HoodiPat @hshskakabsvs @dieg0_k1ngs @Dice2Nicee @BurgundyBonez That’s always what I thought it was, why wouldn’t a spear through the middle of something be piercing it? That’s like the main thing spears do?

@hshskakabsvs @dieg0_k1ngs @Dice2Nicee @BurgundyBonez You genuinely have to be the most dishonest person ever to make this argument that's obviously not the intended way to interpret the original design
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman I know it is not a right in the United States. The argument is there is nothing preventing it from becoming a right through legislation besides it not being popular enough politically.
English
Healthcare is not recognized as a fundamental or constitutional right in the United States. Unlike many high-income nations, the US does not have universal health coverage, treating care more as a commodity or privilege than a right. While programs like Medicaid/Medicare provide public coverage, it is not universally guaranteed.
As for politicians shilling and telling everyone they have a whole bunch of rights they do not have... they are just pandering for votes.
English
In fact, it can be both—and failing to recognize that health care is a product is an obstacle to institutionalizing the policies that can make it more abundant.
Tom Steyer@TomSteyer
Health care is a right, not a product.
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman Again, you and that link talking about inalienable or human rights, which are not the same as rights granted to U.S. citizens. “Healthcare is a right” being posted by someone running for U.S. office is more applicable to talking about it as a right for citizens not as a human one
English
@Revolve_OW @cafreiman Please read the conversation at the link I shared. Then dig into a bit of Locke and Hume.
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman Currently it is not a right. Some people believe it is and/or should be and it’s certainly possible to at least bring it into US law to make it a right for US citizens.
English
@Revolve_OW @cafreiman Health care is not a "right".
Start here:
theconversation.com/what-is-a-clas….
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman It is not those things. Rights in the United States, as healthcare would be, are specifically granted by authority. If the 1st amendment was not granted by the government like in other countries, they could prosecute us for speech. It is not a legal document, the constitution is.
English
Wow! "declaration is not a legal document" wow. It is the foundation underpinning all laws and human rights.
True rights are inherent and inalienable, not privileges or services granted by authority. It distinguishes between "negative rights" (freedoms from interference) and "positive rights" (services provided), suggesting that fundamental rights exist independently of human provision.
Now, go read.
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman This would function exactly the same with healthcare? If the public system could not help them they would pay for private healthcare, it would still be a right. You seem to misunderstand that there are different types of rights, and the declaration is not a legal document.
English
What if no lawyer wished to represent a defendant, or all of the public defenders in a town have a conflict of interest? Does the government enslave a lawyer to represent the defendant? NO - they hire outside counsel.
Rights (or unalienable rights) are fundamental, natural entitlements—such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—that cannot be taken away, sold, or transferred by any government or authority. Derived from the Declaration of Independence, these rights are considered inherent to all humans.
English
@FEEInc @cafreiman This isn’t how rights work. You have the right to a lawyer and if you cannot afford one the government will appoint one. They could have the same system for healthcare. You have the right to healthcare and if you cannot afford it the government will appoint a provider.
English
@cafreiman Health care, while essential, is not a right. If a right requires someone else to deliver the "right," it is not a right. What if the person does not want to provide that "right"? Does the government compel them by use of force to provide the "right"?
English
@Kaffuccino_Art @Kafonn_ Yea but lowkey the game gets a good bit worse as it goes on for me. The opening levels are still fun, some of the later ones just be straight bullshit
English
@LuluPoodleToy @ArchonCrow What are you talking about? In what world does one player end up not being able to do anything?
English
@Revolve_OW @ArchonCrow Except that SWU's structure makes every card an instant, which means that one player ends up not being able to do anything.
English
I often around people that play other TCGs and the main reason for not liking Mtg is that your opponent can play during your turn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Camari Bolger@painterzservant
I had an interaction yesterday where a majorly casual player involved in a 60 card constructed event complained for more than 2 hours about facing counterspells. This has lead me to the conclusion that commander discourse has corrupted Magic players' critical thinking.
English
@JonnyArnett64 @BigglesMets With that it’s sometimes the idea that stats suggest better play than there is because if the games result is largely determined the best RP often get saved for closer games, thus harder to hit homers. Mostly just nonsense tho.
English
@BigglesMets Although I get what you’re saying, I’ve seen people say the same thing about Shohei in late innings. Just seems like the goofiest angle to try to antagonize a fanbase 😂
English
I know I’m a basketball guy and a baseball “casual”, but to me, this seems to be the dumbest criticism in Baseball.
They could easily make a rally from this position…. What’s he supposed to do, strike out intentionally?? 😂💀
KutterIsKing@KutterIsKing
Nothing screams Aaron Judge quite like a 9th inning HR that has absolutely no effect on the outcome of the game
English
@Plasma_Legion You can think that while still making a serious argument. The game very clearly has design principles even if you don’t like them and think they have no place in any game.
English
@Revolve_OW I am. BotW is a monument to Aonuma's mediocrity, and Fujibayashi needs to be unshackled from him.
English
It's good in a game designed around it, like Fire Emblem. Bad in a game like Breath of the Wild, which isn't designed around hell, anything really
🦋 JUNE STRINGS🪞🫀@junestrings
weapon durability is a good mechanic everyone is just allergic to making choices about resources
English
@Door_Casts Could you not also say this about many flex dps,
Primary, dash, safety button (recall, deflect, burrow, wraith, Anran iframes, etc)? There’s obv exceptions to this pattern but there also are with hitscan with Hanzo and Freja.
English
yippee another hitscan with:
✅ Gun™️
✅ Movement ability
✅ Grenade/AOE ability
✅ AOE Damage Ult
I'm sure she'll feel good, but just on initial impression it doesn't look like there was a single unique/interesting choice made when designing the kit

@TheWARmonger_ Yea it seemed like although very tough looking was probably mostly a timing and wall proximity challenge
English
@Revolve_OW 95%. I'd say not completely fair with the wall, so maybe add some % at your discretion.

15% catch probability on this ball. Happ makes the good read, takes the direct route, and finishes with a nice diving grab. 47 feet covered in 3.3 seconds of opportunity time.
English
@reinoe @DatChaosGuy @AlienPegasus455 Not really. The events lead into each other, can’t think of any that didn’t. Weakest would be the stuff with honey queen but to say it was “and then stuff happens” is just not true?
English
@DatChaosGuy @AlienPegasus455 There should be a rational explanation for the who, what, when, where, why, and how....to each of those things.
The entire connective tissue to the movie is "AND THEN STUFF HAPPENS."
English
@ourmartyredlady There’s plenty of things lots of games basically rip directly from Magic because they are fantastic, it’s telling lands are not one of those things.
English
the reasons every other tcg has had different mana systems (all of which are worse) are 1. they have to differentiate themselves 2. magic already perfected having lands in your deck!
motion🐔|✨🐦⬛🎀@Motionstahp
Magic players be like "our mana system is good" when every game since MTG has been trying different ways to get around having to draw lands
English
@LorcanaJustice What do you think of incorporating mechanics into Lorcana similar to Smuggle that provides some additional interaction with ink once it’s been placed there?
English
Honorable mention for Star Wars Unlimied, which can reasonably contest Lorcana for best system. I think there's a fair case that being able to resource any card, but still having to resource cards from your hand, creates similiar strategic depth with less deckbuilding constraint.
English
Going to chime into the TCG resource discourse to state that Lorcana's inking system, which creates both deckbuilding and gameplay skill expression in which uninkable cards you choose to play and what cards you ink during a game, is simply unrivalled in terms of strategic depth. Systems which guarantee resources every turn for free are nice for making this a non-issue, but that isn't strictly a gameplay upgrade in all cases.
English
@CamWalsh27 Mario Sluggers for the GameCube would probably come first if anything cuz if NSO
