I just went through my cards and realized I don’t even have Rogue yet. Fml the pool 3 grind is real (my collection level is only like 1550 though, becaus I only started playing in November and I don’t pay for anything) Maybe she’s been in my shop but I’ve had Doom pinned for like a week now so that I can have an at…

My move deck carried me entirely through pool 2 and well into pool 3 until I had enough decent cards to put together an even more successful Dracula/Apocalypse discard deck. I haven’t found a need to carry any cards for countering moves because im just so used to the rhythm of the deck and what they can do, that I…

It’s weird how, as far as my admittedly fuzzy memory goes, every single article I read about this game before it came out was about how annoying it looked and nobody asked for it, but since it came out, every article about the game has been about how it’s actually kinda… great? Been a while since I’ve seen a game with…

Oh, lightyears away from today’s mainstream music. I wasn’t saying that if the original music was kept with all the dance videos that it would be, like, Running Up That Hill pt. 2 or anything because Kate Bush is obv much closer to today’s sensibilities than surf rock or rockabilly. But, like, I’m sure there are a lot…

The original is, but the Cramps cover used in the show is from ‘81. Not sure what difference it makes though. The Cramps, Ronnie Cook, surf rock/rockabilly, and 80’s punk are equally missing out on potential rediscovery, with all the attention going to a decade old song by a woman whose career is still going strong…

I mean, that’s fair, but I seem to retreat about a quarter as much as my opponents, which is why my rank stays pretty much the same despite picking up a cube every time my opponents retreat and losing cubes 4 cubes on a lot of those snaps that I power through to see if I can pull out a win. If I was trading retreats…

Iron Fist is great as long as those are middle or left lane, but they both seem to show up in the right lane more often than they should just based on rng. You also have to actually draw Iron Fist in that situation, once he’s in your deck, which isn’t guaranteed. Honestly, I’d recommend practicing focusing on winning…

TVA usually ruins any match where you don’t get a good opening draw, and is probably my least favorite location, since getting rid of Scarlet Witch (I’ve never found a spot for Storm in any deck I’ve made). On the flip side, though, back when I WAS using SW, I once had someone beat me while I was in the middle of…

Thank you. I truly appreciate the kindness of this comment. I’m actually trying to understand the dynamics here that made my comment irresponsible. I understand that I did something wrong, but I don’t understand what, exaxtly, and it’s important to me that I do so that I don’t do it again. I like learning and…

Didn’t mean to suggest I was. Was trying to make clear that I was speaking entirely from my personal experiences/feelings about this. That I have first hand knowledge as to the complexity of suicidal ideation, if that is even the cause (it wa ms being reported as such in most major news stories on reputable websites…

I’m willing to, I guess I need help understanding why what I said was irresponsible. I was trying to work through my thought process about this in the only place I feel like I could have a conversation about it with people who might have informed thoughts or insights of their own, and I don’t understand the risk that…

I’ve tried to kill myself twice and don’t need to be lectured on the complexity of what causes people to do this. I said clearly I didn’t know him or what his personal life was like. When I wrote my comment, there were only three others here, two were jokes and one was an action figure tribute. Having struggled with…

I obviously don’t know the guy at all and have no idea how he was in his personal life but I saw him at a few cons and there was always something kind of sad about him. I can’t imagine it was terribly easy to make a career out of something you did in your early 20s and kept stretching back to. Over. And over. And…

Yeah, they definitely count, particularly because Deus Ex is near the very top of the list of series I’m desperate for getting a release in. And you’re right, the knocked Guardians out of the park. Another example of a high profile developer playing with Marvel toys and making something that transcends Marvel or…

[Just finished writing this and goddamn is it long so I came back up here to apologize and explain from the top that I have a pain disorder that is flaring up and keeping me from sleeping, so I just kept writing here to keep my mind occupied on something else and eventually ended up with this absolutely monstrous…

Also, the US government doesn’t even want your personal data to know if you’re friends with a dissident. It’s enough for them to collect your personal data and investigate you and possibly mistakenly charge you with a crime—at which point your freedom of movement could be restricted to anything ranging from the state…

There are a lot of groups who have regularly faced tacitly sanctioned extrajudicial violence from state enforcers for hundreds of years here in the west, and while there’s more accountability being demanded today, its legacy continues unabated. And ask a newly pregnant Texas woman with a period tracking app on her…

“No one’s being targeted for extrajudicial violence or denied freedom of movement over here”

Saw that Blizzard games were being pulled from a market due to “a jerk” in the title and, Blizzard being Blizzard, I’m just relieved that it’s a business thing and no one pulled a Louis CK or some other sexual harassment shit.

True, but I feel like those are all old enough that they can’t really be considered part of any current trend or anything, which is what I thought the person was suggesting when I asked if anyone else was being taken away from original IPs. As for those three, you couldn’t be more right about Marvel Heroes dying just…
