I've made my first character for #outerworlds2, the descendent of RFK Jr., Rob Kennedy XXIV.
My very first dialogue choice let me choose the "dumb" option, saying that I was angry about scientists inventing equipment that gives me LESS brain damage.
This playthrough is going to be amazing.

A cautionary study in how a company seeking constant growth in sales can wreck its flagship with minor tweaks.
Coca-Cola saw Pepsi climbing, saw its own growth plateau to 2-3% instead of 15%, and they felt like they HAD TO REINVIGORATE THE BRAND.

When I think of people who say "Commander SHOULD work this way," I think of Rick - the character ... not the card.
His arc loops and loops, as follows:
1. Sees working settlement
2. Forces way in
3. Doesn't follow rules
4. Settlement collapses
5. Hits the road
Don't let Rick in. #goodgatekeeping

Lots of little steps. Growing up poor. Seeing lots of family addiction up close. Journalism school. Dating a black woman for four years. Being poor as an adult. Living in another country with universal healthcare.
That was a big one. We're not even to 2012, yet!

Love this confirmation from Jesper. It's always been my favorite set for this reason. As a kid, I was kicked out of church for asking questions. When I was a teen, my friends had their D&D books burned by religious parents.
The Dark's representation of White wasn't confusing at all to me.

Considering playing Arena again for the first time in 6 months just because of the Power Cube. Genuinely haven't been excited to play until I heard about this ...
Still feels nerve-wracking though. Like I'm looking at the bottle after 6 months of glorious sobriety.

I know nothing about comics, but my brother used to collect them, and this guy does strike a chord. Like, he's irrationally cool-looking. And nothing about him from my adult brain agrees with that, so I know it has to be kid brain.
Like, what are those fins on his head for? Why is he in a costume?

Fantastic take on the proposed change. Yes, it confirms my bias, AND it manages to argue in a healthy way a lot of reasons why I "felt" inherently icky about the proposition in the first place. Words to the vibe.

Magic CEO at the shareholder meeting opens pockets and says, "Look at all these jewels!"
Forgets to note that he broke the glass and locks in his own shop to bring said jewels to the meeting.

This argument regarding hybrid mana cards is nonsensical.
99% of players aren't playing cedh. Mono-colored decks have literal 1,000s of options to make your 99. And there are already great reasons to do so: cost, mana, flavor.
Blinging out a mono-color deck is easier, cheaper, and So Much Fun.

"Did those parasitic YouTubers poison the well of our beloved Spider-Man set before you got a chance to form your own opinion?? Let us know who we can blame - over any internal factors - during our next shareholder meeting!"
i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎
