Well, the current regime basically wants to do everything Orban did, but lack the majority he had to do it in any way even resembling legal. So, they started of by crippling the constitutional court - without getting into details, at this point it basically doesn't function, and even if it did, more...

That's why it's called the motherfucking New testament. It's an update, a patch, meant to upgrade. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, ...

That depends on the wording. Thriving Iblex can only be pumped once per turn, while Electrostatic Pummeler as many times as you have the energy to pay. http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=417604&type=card http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=41778...

Also there's something about prison terms for miscarriages, but I haven't been able to find specifics. So I can't tell if it's an insane "induced to abort" or the even more insane "negligence." Either way. As it was proposed, 3 months to 5 years of prison for causing a death of ...

That's actually Sorin Markov. A different vampire with a giant black sword Strickly speaking Sorin doesn't use a giant black sword, and that picture is some kind of fan(?) edit changing several things about him. https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/mtgsalvation.gamepedia.com/8/8a/Sorin.jpg http://magic...

If I cast Clutch of Currents and pay the extra mana, and it gets countered, do I get the awakened land? I cast the fucking spell, and it's the same fucking wording. But I've seen judges rule both ways. I believe you shouldn't - the additional cost modifies the effect of Clutch, and since it got cou...

What they aren't happy to accept is being told that factions are getting cut. I don't understand why that's a thing that is fucking happening at all. It's Heroes of Might and Magic, factions aren't hard to design . The reason is trivial: money. Designing a faction is easy, but creating the models f...

So, appearantly, MGS5 is shipped on a single DVD. Which only has the Steam installer on it . . the hell? Konami. Every negative thing that can be said about a company fits into that single word. But clearly this was made for the people who can download the gigabytes of gamefiles (don't care about i...

But it is a fact that you can grind to legend with a fuckin' face hunter deck, and face hunter decks don't even have a single epic card. And just about every face hunter I've seen mentioned to reach legend uses Mad Scientists, a card you get after spending 2800 gold on Naxxramas (2100 if you were a...

In Hearthstone you don't need to play that much to have a deck that can take you to rank 5 in Hearthstone, which is btw pretty good, because there is the crafting mechanic which lets you disenchant cards to dust which you can use to craft any card of your choice. If you don't play that much, you wo...

That would be true if Hearthstone didn't have a matchmaking system that pitted players somewhat close in playtime/card pool together. I had a friend who started about a month ago. I've watched his matches and he's paired up against people that match up to his cards and play ability. He's winning ar...

In theory the qualifier for rarity in MtG in not power but complexity . This is to lower the entry barrier for new players and make board states in limited easier to read. Over the history of MtG there has been no shortage of powerful commons. As you said, that is the theory. In practice however we...

Is that from the games? I recall book Geralt being explicitly worse at magic than other witchers. Can't use it at all without the medallion. I mean sure, game Geralt has massively more magic than book Geralt, but this making into the plot is surprising. It's been a while since I've read the books, ...

It actually isn't. In slavic mythology "Witcher" (Wiedźmiak, Ведьмак, Відьмак, etc.) is a kind of born sorcerer. His powers come from having...

I do not know polish but sometimes polish is very similar to russian. And this is apparently the case. In russian "trava" can be used as generic term for grass or as medical/alchemical ingredient. But I never encountered the use of word "grass" in similar context in english. Eng...

In russian it indeed is "испытание травами" and I do not know polish language but for me "trial by herbs" make far more...

Also Witchers are so bad at teaching people that their order is dying, despite them being some of the most educated people in the world. By Witcher 3 order of the wolf is literally down to four members, out of which only Vesemir has experience in mutating new Witchers, and Vesemir is pushing 200. W...

I may be mistaken as I'm not really that big of a fan of the book (I actually played the game before reading) and find the whole series an example of teenage fantasy, so wasn't really hot about it. As far as I remember, the then-last book ends with Geralt being King Arthured for no reason, Yennifer...

Sapkowski is pretty explicit about him bieng tired of the Witcher, and only doing it (and changing the ending) for the money. Because Witcher is the only series of his that became popular. When did he change the ending? Funny enough, even though he published another book in 2013, when Witcher the G...

It seems to also have had a TV series as well I didn't mention it since I consider it even worse than the movie (as it wastes more of your time). Speaking of these atrocities, remember Dandelion - aka the bard described to be young-looking and elven-like? The movie version captured those qualities ...

According to the comments there's probably a 2001 version that never was translated into English. Be interesting to read. There was - don't remember much about it other than it was mostly d6 rolls and wasn't too much of a success (the game was released alongside the Witcher movie*, which didn't rea...
