I appreciate the candidness here, but you also have to understand long-time fans are very wary of WOTC promises at this point.

Sure, except these were the responses given to people who were worried about those exact things being done in the future. So you realize how disingenuous that response is, right?

I take you at your word, of course, but I can't help but notice there was a similar assertion of how UB would never be in Standard--like how a key Wizard said outside IP would never be in MTG at all, come to think of it. I always want to take you guys at your word, but it has been tarnished a bit.

This is some true necroposting but $40-80 dollar scotch is probably still pretty good. If you don't enjoy it neat or on the rocks, maybe try a Godfather or a Rusty Nail? Anything else would be kind of a waste. Maybe trade it for something you enjoy more? Is there some sort of local booze exchange?

Wow

Played 5 games of rivals so far, played lana snow in every one. I love it

I have a playlist that is literally only TTGL and Mob Psycho 100 songs. I'll listen to it whenever I'm playing a game that requires killing

I'd suggest picking 2 or 3 things you really like and looking at some recipes and giving them a shot yourself (and changing them a little to your taste) . I now have a few things I make myself that I like better than anyone (friend/family/restaurant) makes it. You might surprise yourself.

My wife did, and it's not that they *couldn't* cook, it's more that they had no idea about spices, taste, or creativity. When we got together and I put salt on mashed potatoes, she looked at me like I was nuts, until she tried it.

This is why I cancelled paramount+. I only had it to watch Star Trek and they put 90 sec of commercials into every "tv" commercial break in an episode of DS9 or Voyager. Fuck that noise. Sail the seas.
