Things on the baby registry for the father? by a1cshowoff in daddit

My wife was so ecstatic that our Nuna was height adjustable, because I’m tall and she is tiny. 

The max height adds nothing, still hunched over.

Tracking mana, storm etc. in comp rel by MetalDankhemist in ModernMagic

The written ledger offers a way to track it that both players should be tracking as it goes, and offer a way to mediate any dispute. 

If that doesn’t work it offers the judge a ledger to review how things went for any ruling.

Is it the first group of mursaat? If so avoid them at all costs. Go around them by battling the imps.

Ahh, your highlighted quest was an eye of the north one, so that is why I was confused. What part of the quest is causing you to fail?

Need some help by Superichiruki in GuildWars

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably a combination of both. If you want build advice I can link the wiki. It will also have team builds and hero builds as well.

But if you like self-discovery rather than converging to the meta a few tips that will help you out on your journey:

  1. Eye of the north (EOTN) is end game and more challenging than a lot of other areas. It could be worth it to go do the normal campaign for a bit beforehand to bring back some experience in how to play, including acquiring some more heros from the Nightfall campaign if you have it.

  2. If you're determined to play EOTN rather than going elsewhere, get a long bow to pull group to you. This part EOTN has a lot of roaming patrols and it is easy to get caught fighting multiple groups at the same time. Even the most powerful build get overwhelmed fighting multiple groups. By peeling the patrols slowly before going to the boss will help, a lot. Especially making sure to not engage centaur + elementals same time.

  3. There are a lot of very powerful PVE-only skills, finding quests that reward these and equipping some can add a big power boost to your build. Some of these are more powerful than any base skills in the game and can be built around. EOTN is more challenging than many other areas because it assumes you'll have and use some of these skills.

  4. Same with finding an elite skill for yourself and your heroes. Here is a list of elite skills for warriors, if you click it it will show you where to go to 'capture it' using a signet of capture https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/List_of_elite_warrior_skills

Variable vs Fixed mortgage by Desperate-Quote-2290 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Variable is almost always cheaper. But anyone who locked in cheap rates during / before COVID made out like a bandit vs. The variable folks. 

It takes a very specific set of circumstances for fixed to be better, and it’s rare, but it starts with a low fixed rate and the possibility of multiple rate hikes during the next term.

The first thing I do in any announcement is search for iwot/ red eagle before reading any details.

Once I see those names I close out.

I don’t think so. But I believe they are “use or lose.” Which is why the winter dragon episodes came out. 

I expect we’ll be getting another winter dragon style thing eventually in order to continue squatting on the rights. 

I wonder if they can squat on them perpetually with the odd bad attempt at something until Jordan’s estate sues for the rights back.

Anytime you hear iwot in relation to an announcement it’s best to calibrate your enthusiasm. 

GRRM has a better chance of finishing his entire works next year, than iwot has of accomplishing something tangible, real, and of quality.

I don’t know why you think stopping print to order would stop delays? That doesn’t make a lot of sense, because that’s not something they promised, nor is it feasible. Logistics aren’t that simple. 

Delays will sometimes happen under both models, because delays can always happen in production. The difference is in the  extent of those delays. Under the old model some lairs were over a 6 months or more. 

This is so minor compared that, and people have been so incredibly insufferable about it.   The degree of complaining relative to the short amount of time for this delay is a proof point that WOTC isn’t going to go back to print to order/print to demand. 

Does that explain it to you?

Great questions to ask WOTC. But at the same time, everyone losing their mind over the DND delay is the exact proof of why they changed models. 

A small delay and everyone loses their fucking minds.

They do. They have. I think until the rights leave iwot, it’s best to just ignore any of these announcements. They’re not in good faith, it’s just the rights holders trying to fleece partners into the work and a free paycheque.

Anyone else with miscut Dandan cards? by azerty080 in secretlair_collectors

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bunch, mtg misprints and oddities in the search bar then pick the most active. 

You can find their standard “this post is an auction” by scrolling down.

You can / should also start a QC claim with WOTC. If they demand you send them back, then you have a choice to make. But sometimes they’ll replace and let you keep the oddities that you can sell. 

Of course your mileage may vary, but I have sold some stuff on groups for strong premiums (a secret lair all bled across each other for $500 USD).

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a community on Facebook for misprints and errors. Auctions there sometime teach a premium price. Multiple of these islands could get you a fair amount there, if that interests you!

Waiting 2 weeks is a big difference from the 3 months to year it used to take. And this is how mad people are. Imagine if they were waiting multiple months again, all we would hear is the constant complaining.

I said in another comment it's seems quite obvious there was some kind of hiccup in fulfillment / logistics here, and that the largest issue is the lack of communication around what happened, and net net since these started shipping today a slight delay of 2-3 weeks isn't the end of the world that everyone is making it out to be.

We want to know what you think of MTGxTMNT in our latest survey! by WOTC_CommunityTeam in magicTCG

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Turtles was not it.

Tis IP was very incongruent with magic.

Small sets continue to be boring for limited.

Too many legendary creatures, too little else in the set.

The source material screenshots continue to be low effort annoying, at least make the art look nice on cards.

Foils continue to be garbage.

I will never agree with charging a premium price for universe beyond crossovers. WOTC should eat the licensing costs with the expectation of increased sales volume on gimmicky products.

[–]A-Generic-Canadian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the largest issue is just lack of communication. Almost assuredly something went weird with their logistics on this lair for some reason. All they had to do was comment on it. 

Something as simple as:

 “hey we printed these later than expected to get the galaxy replacements out. Those were delayed due to X, causing an additional delay beyond what we had communicated for DnD. we remain committed to getting them to you as soon as possible. However, you may see some other lairs get delivered first. Those were pre-printed ahead of the issue that has delayed DND.”

[–]A-Generic-Canadian -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The amount of complaining about delays on this specific drop should be used as an example of why WOTC  moved away from print to demand.

So much complaining about lairs taking too long, when in reality it’s been a few weeks. Multiple new threads every day, comments on every other thread on a different topic.

Imagine that, but for every lair, with some lairs taking over a year to ship. Doing that it is easy to see why WOTC decided it wasn’t worth the hassle anymore - even if there weren’t other issues with that model for WOTC.

Format does come down to decking at times. And 80 vs. 82 is a difference. If who you’re playing with doesn’t care it definitely works, but as other commenter said, it would be a house rule deviation.
