@Brunas I wanted to edit the post in the ocx thread into something you would never like after you've liked it. But I realized that every possibility I could think of was something you'd like anyway, get me banned, or both. I lost this one and you didn't even know we're playing.

Well it's a fairly easy comparison. STL is the GOD DAMNED DEVIL. What's worse is the largest concentration of Cardinal fans are there.

Totes on Springfield and Branson.... We pretend they aren't real.

It's totally hilarious how people from KC are like "eff you, we beat the Cardinals in '85, suck it!". And people from St. Louis are like "okay, that's nice".

I honestly don't even care about that. It's the "Best Fans in Baseball" tagline that's insufferable. I would lose my mind in STL. Would be like hanging out with more uptight Cowboys or Pats fans.

Things in Missouri:

The St. Louis Arch, a few professional sports teams, a lot of rivers, lax gun laws, meth, a governor who used to be a Navy SEAL and is maybe also a scumbag, a really good free zoo, the home of Mark Twain, @Kelvan, and me.

This is not an exhaustive list.

I read this this morning, trying to figure out what the context could possibly be...

Man, how do we even get as off topic as we get? Reading the notes, I linked 2B's ***? Really? Wow. I do remember turning the preview images sideways when we discovered that was a thing we could do, pretty sure it was after we stropped recording though.

There is so much to be learned from Starcraft 2.

The patchzergs in Xwing jump around wildly between ships and lists and factions, and much faster, too. The only consistent similarity is that of high variance ships (mostly imperial, but not only) with Terran micro.

(faction balance is not one of them though, just as an aside. That will be my „furthermore, carthage must be destroyed“)

As someone who played nearly exclusively terran (because for anyone that's aware, in starcraft you're basically stuck with a race when you pick it because it's way too hard to change because of muscle memory and relearning every matchup in the game, except now you've got two new ones...) and prefers imperial aces, I'd like to note that everyone that agrees with me has patrician taste and everyone who disagrees is probably a traitor, and maybe even an alien or foreigner trying to lower the skill cap in whatever thing it is we're doing.

Replying again because it made me laugh a lot. Being an agent of chaos has it's benefits.

As I theorized earlier, Brunas likes everything. Not just the Comments, but the comwoments and comchildrents too.

sometimes I wish I didn't like everything so when I liked something it had meaning. Need a super like.

I grew up in KC, my first sports memory was knowing that the Royals won the world series. I still regret that game seven of 2014 didn't end with the Royal whose name I can't remember going for home in the 9th inning. They weren't hitting Bumgarner anyway, so takecthe 5% chance at making a freaking inside the park home run in the 9th inning of a game 7 in the World Series. Make it or not, it's the stuff of legends, and the most Royals way to win OR lose.

Okay, yeah, I'm with you there. There is a specific set of Cardinals fans that are absolutely insufferable.

since Chris has failed me in getting art assets for a new card i'm trying to make-

New Krayt bounty-

Take 5 of each cardboard token (at least the standard ones), put them in a scanner, scan them, and email the resulting image to me. The first person to send that to me wins.

Winner gets a Krayt card set of their choice.

Terran masterrace. Though I switched to random after some time because we all know that you‘re a pleb if you don‘t know the other races and it‘s easy below GM and Scarlett could even offrace in tournaments. Then again I peaked in diamond, so I‘m a casual anyway.

I stopped at „If you listen closely at the end of the episode, you can hear Brunas saying ‚OCX is my favorite waifu‘“

Then I realized that I‘ll never win

I only play offline with bots. There is no way you can beat me in a casual-off. It's my secret skill, winning internet arguments about who is worst at any given game.

If no one has done this yet, I'll get it mostly done. I can provide focus, evade, target lock (only 2 of each color) and 1 stress (because I have fancy tokens too) and send them to you somehow. Probably just post it here.

Thinking about bringing back RAClo and Expertise Quickdraw. Flew it at Crossroads a while back and did well. Should be ok against the Ghost list.

I have always known the first to be true but still loved you.

The secret is that nothing has meaning

@Tlfj200 if you want to beat Ghost/Fenn and have fun and play what you have practice with. Bring out Trip Jumps, 2 Adaptability Scouts and Dengar. Either do Expertise Dengar or Rage/Inspiring Recruit to fit Intel/Riggs on the Jumps. You can actually take the agency away from the Ghost/Fenn player surprisingly when your blocks actually matter.

No, no, no. Everything has meaning, but I can never convey that meaning to you in such a way that we both get the same meaning, creating the illusion that there is no meaning.

What if Expertise Rey could just be Dengar?

X-Wing is saved.

Didn't 4 jumps with trick shot and courier droid do well in a regional recently?

I appreciate that, @Tbetts94, but I'm not sure I want to keep doing triple turret intel spam.

It might work, but it's not a personal solution for me anymore.

Edit: BUT maybe that's good for everyone else here?

If more intel jumps is the answer, everyone deserves it.

Alternate solution: HOTAC. Or, Bomb ****, the list.

So that was something I was looking at, you can do 3 expertise, intel, rigged election, ion projector scouts. You could trim some to get a dengar in there too, but im not sure its necessary.

Between this and the Leebo at Portland I feel like Europe is trying to invade us.

Texas is weird. Most players would prefer to tech against the meta (often in terrible ways) than play the new hotness. 8 ghost fenns out of 75 players (~10%) was high, but there's a kanan with Dash crew (thx nuckols), the synced turrent lothal, and a finn ghost with inspiring recruit on Fenn in that mix up. Two of our best players are Chumby and Cass who will go 3-3 with meme lists rather than play a list they don't like. Texas is weird man.

The "scan some tokens" bounty has been claimed.

Also, if the PS 1 T-65 is 20 base, and the refit is a -2 point Torp slot, which of these 2 lists works better?

XXX Poe

Or

XXXX Biggs?
