What's the story of your name?
  • I've always liked Clo being short for Cloaca or Cloacal. I'm not sure that I'd go through a legal change of name at this point, but when I play games online it feels natural as shorthand for my username.

    I've been talking with some friends about doing drag, so I've been spending some time thinking of a drag name. I'm leaning towards Sensual Bimorphism. It feels fun and I like the idea of playing with the idea of animals having drastically different appearances based on sex.

  • Drinks and snacks of choice while playing?
  • Vodka is the typical option cause you can take it near, on the rocks, or used with a mixer. People know their limits at this point and can adjust safely.

    As far a sushi we used to rotate getting takeout, but overtime we started to default to sushi. There tends to be enough variety to mix up the type of sushi each week, it keeps people from getting too full/hungry, and typically is contained enough to fit with all our play supplies.

  • [MH3] Nadu, Winged Wisdom
  • Just to confirm, since each creature gets "Whenever this creature becomes the target ... This ability triggers only twice each turn." that would make it so each creature would be able to get triggered twice through the use of a free equip like Shuko or free triggers like Reconnaissance.

    That sounds like it might not have been the intended power level for the card printed as rare.

  • [MH3] Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury
  • This definitely feels weaker than the other elder giants. I know it is referencing lightning helix, but it impacts less players than Kroxa and generates way less value than Uro.

    Something closer in effect to thrilling discovery, Aurelia's Fury, or Justice Strike would have been a nicer change up.

  • Those of you that have children. What does it mean to be a dad or mom to you?
  • We just celebrated nonbinary parents day for me yesterday in our household.

    Although my parents are conservative they did not always meet typical gender roles. My mom was more nurturing and also the breadwinner/disciplinarian of the household. My dad did more help with my schoolwork, did a lot to show me how to garden/cook, and helped me to really enjoy reading. Both taught me about the value of good work ethics, how to use a chainsaw, and how to have a sense of humor.

    The biggest takeaway that I have though is that religious ideology and toxic masculinity caused my dad to have a more distant relationship with me than we could have had. Even now I struggle to have a conversation longer than 5 minutes with him on the phone, but my mom keeps telling me how much he likes to talk to me and how much it means to him when I visit.

    My kid is a bit older than 2 and a half, and he tends to view me as the comfort parent because I'm the parent with enough upper body strength to still hold him for an hour or longer. He also likes to brush my hair after a shower and do gardening/composting with me. I also tend to be the goofier parent and am enthusiastic during play time.

    My wife does more reading and baking with him. They make up songs together and she loves to try to get him to think critically about the world. My wife also loves to talk with family and friends on the phone, so she involves him in those conversations and works to plan playdates and other activities.

    Ultimately being a parent to me means listening to my kids needs, educating him on a number of topics, and as needed being an authority figure that helps keep him inline and well mannered. No one is going to be perfect at it and what will work for one kid might not work for the next.

  • Request: Recommendations for brands for taller builds

    Hey folks,

    I was wondering if folks had any brands or stores that they particularly enjoy or find have sizes for the tall.

    I've been doing a wardrobe refresh through Torrid, but keep finding the sleeves stop inches before my wrist. Finding masc clothing is less of an issue, but femme clothing or fun shoes tends to be a longer or less fruitful shopping trip for me.
