I believe they are canonically ten years old, yes. We were in college when he said that. I don't know how deep this goes, I stopped talking to him soon after.
There's no real way to tell, but I'd say this is probably not going to be powerful in the formats in which it will be legal, which indicates that it will be a build around commander card. In other words, I think it will be fairly inexpensive. It will be widely available on card kingdom and TCG Player (or whatever your regional card buying websites are) on June 7-14.
If you wanted to make a deck around it for fun, I'm sure some MTG youtubers will make a budget deck tech for it, probably in the $50 range for the whole deck. They may also make a play mat available through Ultra Pro, if you wanted a larger version of the art for about $20, but That is not guaranteed.
Those are good things to want. Since we're talking about elections, it's worth mentioning that of the grand total of two options, only democrats have even a slight possibility for them to happen, wheras the Republicans are saying that Gaza should be nuked, which is worse than what's happening right now, I'm sure you'll agree. Which is to say nothing of literally every single other issue where the Rs are universally much worse.
Feel free to appear uncommitted right up until the general, at which point you and everyone else trying to extract concessions needs to show up. And as long as that happens, I'm sorry for implying you're not an adult.
It's plain to anyone who is willing to see that this administration has been influenced in a positive direction vis a vis Israel, and they are doing much more to help the Palestinian people than the "turn Gaza into a radioactive parking lot" crew that is the other option will do should they regain power. And yes, I have called the offices of my elected representatives, which didn't go very far because they're Republicans.
I do not share your compunction about telling people that a vote for better is better, even if better is not ideal, because I'm an adult who has been paying attention to how it has been and is promised to be worse. There is no viable third party, and mathematically there will not be until every state changes away from First Past the Post, which will not happen before the election. Therefore, the better of the two parties, obviously the Democrats, should be voted for. Full stop. Up and down the ballot. Anyone who decides to not vote this way is indicating that they are fine with the Republicans regaining power, and aren't allowed to complain about the leapords eating their face should they win. The only instance in which voting third party is acceptable is for smaller local elections, and even then that's if they did a good job canvassing. You should help them canvass, if there are any nearby.
And the reality is that as far as the presidency is concerned on that specific topic we have a choice between someone who has been maintaining the existing status quo vis a vis Israel and Palestine but has been successfully pressured into at least looking like he's trying to stop it by his base and the guy who, last time he was in office, made it worse by moving the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem and several other actions, plus everything else wrong with his policies. As far as the presidency goes, those are the only two options, so while we could maybe have done better before, we don't have a different option now.
So, between "bad but can be influenced to be better" and "far, far, demonstrably worse and only descending," the only two actual options, which should people vote for?
No, see, the spoiler effect, a well-documented phenomenon, isn't real and is just a lie to keep people from voting for third parties, who are super for real going to affect anything positively this time! It's your fault for not abandoning the only party with a chance to win against the fascist party in favor of checks notes Cornel West, a candidate so unserious he declared his party affiliation with the People's Party (a bunch of definitely not grifters featuring such intellectual titans as Jimmy Dore and Jesse "the Body/Mind" Ventura) only to immediately switch to the Green Party, only to immediately switch to Independent. Math isn't real and I'm very smart.
No, see, passively continuing policy while trying to rachet it back when you realize how unpopular something is with your base is exactly the same as active hostility and escalation, fully justifying my refusal to participate in the system. I'm very smart.
That wasn't Shruiken, that was, like, a shadow dragon he summoned with his shadow power or something. Created for the movie so they could have a more exciting climax than a one on one sword duel ended by an elf magically shattering a ruby as large as a house directly over said duel before diving into it on the back of a pissed off dragon, providing the distraction needed for the hopelessly outmatched hero to stab the unholy abomination through the heart. That might sound awesome to you, because it is. Shruikan was the post credits reveal.
An AI (in its current form) isn't a person drawing inspiration from the world around it, it's a program made by people with inputs chosen by those people. If those people didn't ask permission to use other people's licensed work for their product, then they are plagiarising that work, and they should be subject to the same penalties that, for example, a game company using stolen art in their game should face. An AI doesn't become inspired, it copies existing things to predict what it thinks its user wants to see. If we produce a real thinking AI at some point in the future, one with self determination and whatnot, the story will be different, but for now it isn't.
So you don't understand my concern at all. You should probably pay attention to the rhetoric and policies pushed by conservative politicians and media before you say democrats are just as bad as them.
So I say that you're proposing to throw away trans lives for the principle of the thing, and your response is that Dems might throw away trans lives for some kind of ephemeral opportunity that hasn't come around in the last ~15 years or so. If, and I do mean if, they did throw away trans lives for whatever it is you're fear mongering about here, at least that's more than the nothing we'd get under your plan of "split the vote to make sure Rs win, then the DNC would learn something for the next election that will be canceled by the Rs." Even in your defense you laid out the question is would I rather have something or nothing? I'd rather have something. And I don't think they would either way.
Her Color 2 for that outfit is trans flag colors. Idk if it was confirmed that she's trans, but if she is, she's not the first trans character in Street Fighter.
