@JulezJP Having a pre-event ritual or routine can help you shift gears if you're a slow starter. For years I did Chamomile Tea, or listened to the same songs or playlists to kinda feel the shift. Playing more events goes a long way if you feel it is late round fatigue.

I've been totally riftbound pilled lately, but I keep losing games to like, very dumb mistakes (But I learn something every game!) Looking for advice from my TGC homies: After a super long day of work, I find it SO HARD to lock in and concentrate and not make those mistakes. I don't have this problem w/ fighting games or league after a long day. Any tips or personal tricks on getting the focus back?

@LotharHS My personal experience has almost always been the 1 draw is nice to go get food and prepare to continue playing in a top cut. Anyone not in that position is playing to the end and going out for food/what not after.

@LotharHS Usually players of an 5-9ish round tournament that are undefeated can draw twice with two rounds to go, and those with a single loss can draw once with a single round to go. I think "locking up" a top cut position and taking an hour break is fine. Where are you seeing 25-33%?

This applies to every card game: If, at any point of a tournament, it’s mathematically better to NOT play the game rather than playing the game - it means the tournament system is flawed and needs to be looked at. And that’s what is happening with Intentional Draws. I don’t blame the players for taking IDs. I also take them for my own advantage, but it literally makes no sense to travel to a tournament and ELECT NOT to play between 25-33% of the tournament because it makes no sense for the match to happen.

@ericrambles Just play out the game normally with saga on 2

@bstee what do you think the proper line is in hindsight? leading with the mox?

Had the hardest path through the tournament. Lost the last round to go 33rd instead of 15th, but honestly still had a great weekend at the Calgary RC. Not likely to play much magic in the near future, but it was nice to know I still got it.

@ericrambles Yeah it hurt a bit because I really hate my G2 line in retrospect but it happens.

@bstee Great run. Was pumped to see you run it up. The R8 feature match felt so intense.

I never thought my favorite non-FG streamer would be the face that launched a thousand FGC discourses LMFAO

This is an Eddie Guerrero & vegetable tempura appreciation post. Repost if you are a fan of both Eddie Guerrero & vegetable tempura.

@MannyStach @fireshoes Expecting this before final round is crazy. Even expecting this in the final round is suspect. Anyone saying they should concede so someone could potentially have a win and in with multiple rounds to go is wild.

Doesn't matter whether it is LCQ season, in person, online, any event really. You may ask for a concession, but your opp is under no obligation to do so. Throwing a tantrum / holding up the event / punishing your opp is not the answer. Do better, or simply just win your match.

POV: you play DPS

John Cena needs to learn a 6th move.

@allyparser Enhance shaman is getting fed every bit of priest/aug juice at all times. It doesn't help that their lust burst is insane right now so they get a head start too. Once you take away the PI and the aug stuff they're more like 10% ahead, but they look like demons on details.

someone want to explain why every time i go to a raid stream the details always looks like this? At any point in the fight the enh shaman is nearly double everyone's dps

yeah ok maybe another 30 minutes from now its Friday I'm out of it

Its been a hot minute since I've turned on the stream, but I'm planning on doing a playthrough of Charles Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden because the people need to know. I've been meaning to replay this for years. Starting in 30 minutes or so. Twitch.tv/bsteeTV

Been kinda grinding on the side for this for a bit. Feels nice.

Epson's hold music is 30s of choppy ambient wind chimes followed by Shaq literally yelling and they're doing a real good job of making me want to hang up.

@AndyAWKWARD @dunkicon Its hard to tell someone to try DDLC even though its a masterpiece.

@dunkicon No. Not really ranked. But playing DDLC for you and the gang is one of best moments of my life with how fun it was.

Top 10 games for me personally. Last of us Part 1 Last of us Part 2 Baulders Gate 3 Elden Ring Slay the Spire Hades Rocket League What Remains of Edit Fitch Gone Home Doki Doki Literature Club All these games I’d recommend as masterpieces today and not just for their time.

@jl_the_goblin They will never give you a 5 because then they'll never get you to give "more".

@zturchan New dredge 4 wouldn't be relevant
