Heel hooks and knee bars are two things I never wanted to fuck with.

Ankle crushes too. I used to get back control and go super hard on setting up a torso lock with my legs until my friend learned that he could destroy my ankles through it.

Oh gosh, stay away from my ACL you monsters.

Like the guy pulled it just enough I could feel some tendons very very stretched. Not enough to strain them, but it did hurt a bit and there's not a lot of give in the knee until it tears lol.

I didn't know about kneebars, aren't the kinda like armbars? Never heard of them being overly dangerous.

Also worth noting the car I learned in had one of those button handbrakes which auto released when you start going forward or something. Aarhus is pretty flat, but most of the big roads slope down towards the harbour so you have considerable slope and incredibly tight traffic which is not a fun combination

I don't think I've done it yet in my mum's car which has an actual handle to pull up.

Yeah, same concept as armbars. I just hate messing with knees, they're really fragile and long term injury on them is really easy.

That sounds terrible. There's no more satisfying sound than the clicking as you lock your hand brake to park.

Steelheart any good? I read his other stuff but never got into that.

Also loved CoH 1 but was super casual with it. Does CoH 2 compare well to it?

CoH2 seems better but not hugely different. I can't guarantee it's better but it feels that way.

at the very least the graphics are updated and the community is still active here

Steelheart is weaksauce for a sanderson novel, but still at least a 8 or 9/10.

Kdog, they let you pass without driving on a highway? Or did you just ace that part and not mention it :p
I'd say handbrake only when waiting for trains/bridges, but when waiting for 1 min + lights it should be fine?
In theory it's the best but most people are too lazy.
Btw that 3 point turn mistake is not something they'd ever deduct points on.
Also first couple times I drove after getting my license my dad drove with me which helped a lot with staying calm, but he's also the type of guy to not give false advice so idk.

Any you MTG guys have a summary of what this masterpiece stuff is about? Is it just extra-glorified shinies or is it really another rarity or what? I read this thing but I don't really understand what they're saying.

I know that feel 5-oh.

In college I fell asleep on the way home from exams my sophomore year. Totaled my ford explorer, but I was fine. It pales in comparison to when I was working nights 3 years ago where I would be at work at 2 am, then the next thing I can remember I'm at home doing dishes at 10am the same day.

That's when I decided to actually not work nights anymore. Shits dangerous when you suddenly can't remember how you got home, but know you had to drove atleast 25 miles to do so.


Yeah, thanks for sharing. I drove off the highway but amazingly didn't damage my vehicle or myself. Super lucky.

it's just over-hyped shinies

basically sets will usually get 'themes' (upcoming gets an artifact theme, bfz had lands) and they'll toss in even-mythicerer-mythic rare reprints in packs to become more of a lottery


tldr cash-grab shinies


Ah. I was wondering because someone was complaining about them as if they increased the already high cost of playing MTG competitively.

Whoever says that is being stupid because it only serves to depress the cost of standard staples. How significant that effect is remains to be seen (I don't think that it will be that significant), but it's very unlikely they actually increase the cost.

A box of Magic cards in an unlimited print run set has essentially a fixed value. As such, the expected value of all the cards in the box has to equal the value of a box--if this weren't the case, the secondary market would shift until this equilibrium is reached again. Typically this means that the competitive staples all hold incredibly high value, and all the draft chaff is worth next to nothing. So the value of the handful of good cards you expect to get in a box adds up to that $100, so you end up with a mix of cards in the range of $5-20.

What the masterpiece cards do is add a small chance of a very high value card that is totally irrelevant to standard play, which contributes to the expected box value. As such, since those cards are making up some part of that expected $100, the equilibrium has to shift such that everything else in the box is worth a little bit less. So all the cards that *are* relevant to standard play have their value shifted downward just a little bit.

The only real argument I've seen against the masterpiece cards is that they increase variance in pack openings so for drafters (who open a small number of packs at a time), it's harder to get consistent value selling your singles back after a draft. But as I said, I don't think the effect of depressing card values will be that significant.
