Why the %!@# Does Food Heal You?
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.Год назад
CORRECTION : at 12:00 the video references a concept named “histability”. This was a mistranscription of the word “digestability”. Sorry for the mistake! Ever wondered why food tokens heal you? In this episode of Search Your Library, I trace the trope of "healing food" back through the history of gaming, then to the the traditions of indigenous Mayan food practice. Featuring an interview with M...

What is a game?

Magic is a game, but what does that mean? I'll go over some of the historical definitions of games and play, then break down how modern minds in play would update those definitions to better reflect the reality of play as a social construct.

I feel bad for the people that hate it. The first time I realized what it was I was enamored and have been doing it for years once I figured out how to do it. I'm always impressed with people that are REALLY good at it.
Only 40% no way. Every person I’ve ever played against does this and it’s the most irritating thing. On top of them leg jiggling like crazy.
Bro bro this video is very well made, i appreciate the work you and others put into it :)
Gonna rely to this later, but I will say, I was playing out the new Lorcana & decided to tap Mulan’s mother Fa Li & instinctually said “and I’ll do one damage to your face” before getting the mental image of this kindly middle age Asian mom menacingly picking up a fry pan & realizing that I was thinking about the wrong game. I was abashed and apologized like 3 times before exerting (tapping) Fa Li for 1 lore counter to get closer to the 20 lore counter win state before passing. (Still won in the end)
my favorite is shaun, father of synths cause in the game hes known as both shaun and father, and not only are they naturally calling him both in the card name, theyre also telling people who dont know who he is that he invented synths
im ngl, i clicked on this not realizing it was mtg content...but im happy it is! great video : )
I just stumbled across this RUclips channel... hahaha. It's like the NPR of magic. I liked and subbed. look forward to more. hahahaha
Transfemme Gengis Kahn getting the respect she deserves
I flick to display dominance.
Feather the redeemed?
i've liked the calamity beasts ones since they've been revealed, especially Maha "Its feathers night"
Saw the osrs shark and had to double take that this was an mtg video 😅 I'd also like to know why food heals in that game as well tbh
The broken reality, the promised end, and the whispering one are top 3.
I liked the old smell. I like the new smell.
I use card flicking to goon.
Why in the outs of the blind of fucking eternities blood doesnt???!!!
Now we got Bloomburrow, with the king "Flubs, The Fool"
Exodia the forbidden one
Phage, the Untouchable For the same reason of it intertwining with the gameplay: one touch is all she needs to bring death - to creatures, players, even her controller (if they fail to treat her properly).
Big fan of Emrakul, the Promised End. It's just so damn cool
"Gimli, Counter of Kills" goes hard.
Where did you get a definition of violence that includes the "portrayal of"? The game and lore depicts some absolutely atrocious acts but I don't think that makes playing a game violence.
im basic af for this but "the promised end" is just so cool just you title declaring you as the one true apocalypse is just perfect
Wilhelt Rotcleaver is my favorite for many reasons. I love graveyard recursion and zombies. He has a very powerful effect and the name conjures up a very bad image.
Holy fuck I hate when people do this shit
The Great Distortion is pretty good
"Dreams of steel and oil"
Great video
The Eldrazi to me are kinda the Emperors of great epithets. “The Promised End” “Reality Breaker” “It that Heralds the End” “Aeons Torn” “The Great Distortion” To me, these sound less like names and more like titles for disasters or events, besides It that Heralds the End which does itself lean into this idea that the Eldrazi aren’t beings or entities, they’re walking hurricanes, volcanic eruptions or Tsunamis, they are the end. Even when they do have more being centric names, it’s usually so grand in design, “Butcher of Truth”, “Unending Hunger”, “Void Gorger”, and so on
The violence in MTG doesn't vex me its the self harm. I don't like the self harm. But as some of you might know the U.S. military used to seek out first person shooter players. They liked to make them drone pilots and encourage them to act like it was all a video game. A bunch of them lost their minds from the shame of it.
I think my favorite is primal calamity or primal sickness
boseiju, who endures kozilek, butcher of truth chandra, dressed to kill
Those "pages" in the thumbnail look like lasagne sheets. Would be nice to flick'em if they didn't break.
Kamigawa had some good ones, especially for the more strange kami. I'm a particular fan of "Yomiji, who bars the way"
I really like "Parnesse, the Subtle Brush". It's pretty hard to compete with all the bombastic gravitas epithets hanging around so I can admire someone who's just good and precise at what they do.
I really like "Tibalt, Cosmic Impostor"
I hate people who do this and I don't play against those or stop playing if they can't stop.
Boy the last time I heard the word Epithet so many times was the show Epithet Erased
I am partial to the recently spoiled Maha, Its Feathers Night
I really adore the sheer simplicity of Akroma, Angel of Wrath.
Waiting for the Monster Hunter secret lair so we can get "The Crimson Glow".
I HATE this so much. Just keep your hand in a normal fan, being able to see every card without autistically flicking through them and bending them in the process. I am sorry if this sounds mean, but just pls hold the cards normally.
Man, I’m way too Autistic to play in person… I’ve mostly just been playing on my computer since the first Duels of the Planeswalker games came out over 10 years ago I’ve been to maybe 3 or 4 in-person Magic events in my life, but they were always way too overwhelming. I honestly can’t understand how anyone could get comfortable doing that stuff on a weekly basis 😅
@@Muhahahahaz as someone with autism who goes almost weekly to my lgs to play games, its not easy but i personally find it worth it. Its about the only time I go out and spend time with others, so even if its hard I always try to find the time. Feels nice to hang out and play even if I feel like a wet noodle after.
I really like tezzeret betrayer of flesh. Its so perfect as everything he did was a betyral of the flesh, as he craved darksteel the entithiss of flesh and the building blocks of phyrexia. Every action was to obtain this and become stable as the planar bridge ate him from the inside out. And all of it made him less and less human.
The two in the thumbnail are perfect ones, in my opinion. "Sheoldred, the Apocalypse" is one i haven't seen mentioned yet, but it fits her character very well. She IS the apocalypse, and it's shown further in her base art and flavor text. "Gix failed, I shall not." Is such a great line and shows an amazing connection with the original Phyrexians invading dominaria and the New Phyrexians.
Great video, but a lot of these commenters are missing the point. If you hate flicking, you're just going to make the game miserable by shutting it down because that person will still feel the need go stim and you've chosen to zone in on something you dislike.
Flicking makes the game miserable for *me* .
I think that isn't a epithet, but a name, bu sill I love the name "He Who Hungers", it's only this it's name and I think that it make's seem more powerful, like a entity that nobody knows exactly how it is, they only know that he will consume all the things.
Nissa, who shakes the world goes pretty hard
the "warmth" of food have always been a thing in food medicine. mint being cooling and chillies being hot.
I really like the epithets that synergize well with the name to create a really pleasant feeling in the mouth to speak them. Examples: Tovolar, Dire Overlord Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch God-Eternal Bontu (has to be spoken like a California surfer bro) Gonti, Canny Acquisitor
