Getting glasses scares me, but I suppose it's only a matter of time
Kind of strange though, since I'm used to this vision and I'm sure I won't notice any gradual change, IDK how I'll know it's deteriorating. I suppose that's what chck-ups are for =/
Well on the other hand, slides about tornados could get pretty interesting. Or instead of the weather you could throw some climate change stuff around - sure way to get some polarized discussions going.
SO what exactly is a card tournament? Is it like pro level of, I don't know, crazy 8s, and then the winner gets to beat the other player up? Or something more civilized?
We just muted the stream in between rounds. Not my decision, but the tournament organizers didn't want the chatter in between rounds to be heard. Understandable since many players get carried away with their expressions after a loss =P
Poker tournaments are definitely a thing, but I was commentating a strategy card game, the likes of Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. I ended up trying them all out but stuck with pokemon due to the incredibly cheap cards and friendly community. A competitive pokemon deck is like $50-$150, a competitive Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh deck can branch into thousands of dollars
No one gets beaten up, but we do get unreasonably angry =P When you can't see your opponent's hand, it's easy to blame things on luck even when you actually got completely outplayed. But we all go out to eat together afterwards, discuss strategies, funny matches, and just enjoy the company. The community is something else
One kid ended up loosing his deck. Players immediately took the kids written out deck list and replaced it card for card without question. Just a bunch of people gathering to offer what they could to help a kid who ran into some misfortune. This is the first time a deck has been completely lost or stolen in our community. I didn't know how the community would react, but I don't think you could ask for anything better
Anyhow, commentating that tournament was enjoyable and it was good to see some familiar faces. One guy ended up having a seizure though; definitely a frightening experience! I can hardly imagine what that was like.
