"People die if they are killed" - Day9

sounds like when i said that a tree might be god talking about authors who were talking about the theme of naturalism

People are not dead until they are killed dead

haha yeah i thought of that too

I mean, the backstory behind that iconic scene is amazing too. For anyone not in the know, in the original script Harrison Ford was actually supposed to have this long choreographed sword duel with the guy in question. On the day they were supposed to shoot the actual fight scene though, Harrison was suuuuuper sick. Nausea, temperature of 103 F, the works. So he walked up to George Lucas and essentially said, "hey, my character has a pistol right? Can I just shoot him to get the scene over with so I can go lay down?" And that was how the scene ended up happening. Always makes me smile when I think about how iconic that scene became in what was an already iconic movie.

Jones pulls out an embercleave.

The original just kill them rant he actually brought that up! That was many years ago now though

@@cah11111 yep he had the bubble guts

Rock beats Origami ? :P

Should have been "imagine if in magic your lands are planeswalkers with 1 loyalty so creatures can attack them".

"imagine a game where lands help you cast more lands"

Ah, so Vintage.

I don´t want to komment its at 69 right now.

Lmao I remember breaking it down to a combo player one time. 2000 dmg on turn 6 is cool. 20 dmg on turn 5 is better

Omg my Internet dads follow each other

@@eintyp4389 then why did you

Well if you’re watching a stream of mtg, presumably you know the meta pretty well

I think Day9 and you getting at something that is true of virtually every skill, but often only becomes clear once you've reached a relatively high level of skill and are looking at what people are doing who are still figuring things out. Often when people are developing a new skill, they become focused on high level components of the skill when they have, at best, a cursory understanding of the fundamentals. If a pro SC2 player played vs someone in gold, of course the pro would win, but why? Not because they execute the perfect counter - they could win by building virtually any units. They win because their fundamentals would absolutely trounce a mid or low level player. People who are developing a new skill tend to overestimate their need to refine skills most relevant to high level strategy and underestimate the contribution of their fundamentals. If you are a low level player in any game, your problem is almost always going to be fundamental rather than strategic. If you are a mid level player, watch very low rated players and ask, "What should they do better?" You will find they are fucking up the VERY SIMPLE things way too much to be worrying about those big things. It is why the piano student wants to practice a complicated song instead of their warm-ups and scales. Why the math student relents, "Why do I have to learn algebra." Why the LoL player insisted on playing the champions popular in pro play with the optimal build, while not recognizing why they aren't progressing. Its fundamentals, but fundamentals just aren't as sexy and enticing as the high level decisions that drew you into the hobby to begin with.

@@dg5059 it's true! The advice of "just go fucking kill them" applies in so many more contexts than just games.

@@dg5059 I apply this "go fucking kill them" logic when I play toplane in LoL. I don't generally care about what character or build they're using. I just kill them.

@@dg5059 As Ludwig said about Smash: "If you aren't L-Cancelling every aerial, you're already behind"

As the old mordekaiser mains used to say 'If dead, controlled'

That is the lesson I learned from failing at XCOM again and again and again.

It turns out it's also the best Support, Tank, and Defense option, for some reason.

Don't have enchantment removal? No problem - just deal a net 20 damage to your opponent and all their enchantments will go away!

Cool, man. You watched the video too.

Put mans in center, castle, then attack on the side you didn't castle on. Congratulations, you're 1600 ELO in chess lol

That, plus seeing sean's hair grey like that is so surreal. I can't believe it's been that long. I still internally think of day[9] and his brother as like young 20 somethings.

@@WrexShepard I thought the same thing, but then recently I looked up tasteless to see what's going on with him these days and ... yeah, not 20 anymore lol

@@DanyF02 god wow. Nick is unrecognizable almost. Aging is inevitable I guess. They look fine. It’s just jarring after not seeing them for a while.

I was just telling my friend about the "just go fucking kill him" strat watching a recent GSL when someone kept doing weird strats

Up you go

What does it mean? Just that any threat can be enough?

@@Teinve every threat must be answered...but you can sometimes have a dead answer aka an answer that can't react to any active threat on the board.

@@Teinve I've poked people to death with weak shit simply because they couldn't get rid of something already on the field.

@@Teinve You could have a Bonesplitter and a Scryb Sprite and kill your opponent if your opponent doesn't have the right answer to a 3/1 flyer and isn't producing a threat that's faster than it. It's a pretty shitty threat, but it's still a threat.

@@stunwin The greatest mindgame of all is completely ignoring whatever your opponent is doing and just fucking killing them.

You tend to get over this mental roadblock if you play more limited lol

"My forces have engaged the enemy? I'd better check this out." "Now my probes are under attack?! Bastard!"

Depends on what you are going for. Sometimes it is fun to just do different things even if you loose more often.

@@tempestandacomputer6951 Yeah, the jank is certainly satisfying, just not because you win

this punchline is 10 years old. damn i miss nooby tuesday

@@FiryaFYI Sure, but you aren't going to be constantly expecting it every two seconds (if you are, consult a therapist or something) so it can still have a powerful impact when it shows up again unexpectedly. Their point is that it can't have that impact here, because you're expecting it before even clicking on the video.

@@TheSquareOnes Bro it's all good you don't gotta write a thesis

@@Eric-sy1xu That was two sentences, it's pretty depressing that's seen as "too much effort" these days.

@@TheSquareOnes that was an essay

This applies to chess as well, opponent playing idiot openings with a6 b6 c6 h5 Nh6 etc? Just develop, open the centre and checkmate.

@@BobfromSydney i opened their center alright, bloody mess
