![]() ![]() Of course, these things aren’t true of me, but the fact that they’re happy to be seen with me makes me wonder. I could be a terrible person on the inside, spewing venomous rhetoric, a ball of negative energy, and they are still happy to be seen with me. Really, it makes me feel like they’re proud of the fact that they could land a girl that looks like me. ![]() ![]() They say “thank you,” smiling as if they had a role in producing my curls and the shape of my face or were present at my conception. But there’s always a side of them that is proud when someone tells them their new girlfriend is gorgeous. He means well - they all do - and I choose carefully. I never truly know if a boyfriend cares about me or is just happy to be seen with me. “How could I say no to a face like that?” I’ve heard that one a few times. I’m riddled by insecurity, never certain if people are agreeing with what I say and my opinions because they actually see truth in what I say or because I have a likeable face. I’ve been trying to shrug off my looks for years. I’m more comfortable admitting aloud that I’m pretty, but being beautiful is what I’ve come to terms with. ![]() I’ll tell you something I wouldn’t say out loud but which I’ve heard enough times that I’ve come to believe it is true. Of course, there is always the brand of beauty that is smug and sluggish, the sort that is the only asset the possessor can parade. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.” Meir was the fourth prime minister of Israel. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. Golda Meir was famously quoted as saying, “Not being beautiful was the true blessing. In the back of their heads, however, there is always one lingering thought, an oft-spoken phrase: you’re nothing but a pretty face. Those who are beautiful try in vain to compensate for the connotations attached to their appearance. People look at a beautiful person and have a wealth of stereotypes at their fingertips. Maybe I just need to lighten up, but I don't think so.Being beautiful is a burden. I don't just mean things like men making catcalls at women on the street, but even if a girl jokes that her boyfriend is good "eye candy". It seems demeaning no matter what gender of person you are talking about, even though it sounds like a compliment to the person who says it. It might feel weird to call your boyfriend's roommate handsome, but you could easily call him eye candy. To me it can also describe people who are just acquaintance, or who you don't know at all, yet find attractive. It's suggesting someone is good looking and fun, without being over the top. I don't have a solution, except suggesting we all pay a little less attention to looking "perfect" But I still don't think there is anything wrong with a little eye candy here and there, though.ĭecember 14, I see what you mean, but to me eye candy is an innocent term. I think there's not real problem with eye candy so long as people can separate innocent attraction from infatuation a lot of television, movies, and music these days seem to be devoted to showing us excessively pretty people all the time, without much more substance. I won't see movies because of eye candy, but I have been known to watch a bad television show at least a few times because an actor I think is especially gorgeous is on it. ![]()

That whole process would have taken hours when I used the Deck format option previously and my card was behaving weirdly.Ģ. Took about 10min to download, then another 2-3min to verify. I just tried it out on my card, and the speeds seem fine when I downloaded Left 4 Dead 2. I can run you through all that, but first you should try formatting using KDE Partition Manager that's built into Steam Desktop Mode(aka KDE Plasma). I also have a USB-C hub to plug it into the Deck along with a keyboard. I had GParted on a bootable USB flash drive as parted of the process of setting up dual-boot for Windows. I don't think it's an issue with overheating, I think the built-in Format option on the Deck Game Mode messes up the partition on the SD card. Hey bro, I'm having the same problem as you, the SD card will overheat when downloading games and then the speed becomes 0 or very slow, could you please guide me on how to use GParted to make the SD card work better, I'm a complete newbie, thanks. The SteamOS SD format option was screwing up the SD so it ran like junk. Getting ~30MB/s sustained disk usage and much faster downloads. I finally decided to format it using GParted from a bootable flash drive and now it works fine. When I would download games to the card it throttle at 5-10MB download and disk usage, then completely stop, then start again.

If you open those, you can sell cards you don't need right now for Gold to the Merchant and upgrade your deck through buying cards with that Gold. If you want any tips on which cards to get to boost your starter deck, we are here to help. I hope you will continue playing the game. If the perception you are getting is different to this then something needs to be done on the developer side to show the reality better when new players join. The Shadow Era economy is meant to be player friendly. MTG also tends to have their strongest cards at Mythic and Rare. ![]() You get one Rare wildcard per 5 packs or something like that. What about MTG Arena: You can only get specific cards with Wildcards, that you can only accumulate by opening packs. Also they rotate cards out of the standard set. You therefore need to open packs to get cards to dust. As cards get rarer, they tend to get stronger and the more Dust you need (Epic is 10x more than a Common and a Legendary is 40x more than a Common). Let's compare this to Hearthstone: You can dust cards but you get back 1/4 Dust that you paid for the card in the first place. The Gold price difference between Commons/Uncommons and Rares is not that high, and card rarity doesn't really correlate with power level.

I think it’s one of the best casual turn-based strategy games of all time.Ĭivilization 6 is arguably more friendly to the absolute beginner, but Civ 5 is nevertheless a much easier game to get stuck into than the first four entries in the series. If you’ve played loads of Age of Empires, go back and play some more AoE 2. If you’ve never played Age of Empires, my recommendation would be to start with this one. You can ramp the difficulty up to hone your chops for multiplayer if you like (if you’re new to online PvP, these tips for how to get better at RTS games should help), but even the PVP lobbies have plenty of casual servers for less intense competitive play.
