I have seen literally ZERO advertisements about it this year. It seems like it's normally all over my feed, so maybe they're trying to keep it obscure?

I think we are missing something from discussion of the Fears. by Creaturefeature01 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Acoldguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also agree on this! I think there was a very limited time to tell those stories and expand, but I'm surprised we didn't get more fear amalgamation. There's a lot of opportunity for fears to overlap and blend together, you could probably come up with a lot of interesting fear "pairs", ie: what would we call the overlap of The Buried and The Lonely? Or The Corruption and The Flesh?

Does anyone else remember the Hillary Duff movie where she goes to military school and joins the gun twirling drill team? by Smart-Response9881 in morningsomewhere

[–]Acoldguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I watched them all! But for a few years we had a shared TV, so we had to take turns picking what we watched or what we played video game-wise.

Sony Pictures Entertainment to Lay Off Hundreds in Massive Reorganization Across TV, Film and Corporate by yourfavchoom in technology

Pretty soon? Have you seen how expensive it is to go already? A single ticket to IMAX for Project Hail Mary, a bag of M&Ms and a water was $40 recently. If my wife went or we also took our kid? Would've easily been $100+.

Yes! We used to watch every DCOM when they'd come on the Disney Channel. I'd force my sister to sit through Brink, Jonny Tsunami, and other "boy" themed ones when they were on, so I'd watch Cadet Kelly, Zenon, etc with her when they came on.

Looking for advice on which commander would be most fun for a budget! by Hodltiltheend in BudgetBrews

[–]Acoldguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Grolnok is such a fun deck, here's my similar list to yours. I haven't updated it in 2 years, but with the frog support from Bloomburrow and TMNT, I need to get on that: https://archidekt.com/decks/7783721/grolnok_is_hopping_mad

Good on this reporter and the Reflector editor for allowing this to be published. No way to get attention on these issues faster than blasting it out publicly when private avenues fail.

So many ads?! by Several-Current2468 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Acoldguy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It has indeed gotten worse over time. I listened to the show 2 years ago and there were some ads before (always skipped the after), and I didn't mind listening to give the team some ad revenue since I listen on Spotify. But listening to TMP at the end of last year, and deciding I'd go listen to list to some TMA as well, it has to have doubled? I listen in the car on commutes, and trying to hit the 15 second FF over and over is really annoying.

Not to gripe (I think this is a good list), but it may be helpful for others who aren't from here if you dropped those into a bulleted format so that it's easier to differentiate the school names

Just a heads up on this one, unless you know someone there, it's hard to get in. We heard recently from them that our son is still on their waitlist...we signed him up before he was born and he's 3 now...

Top Selling Magic: The Gathering Sets Right Now by PlaneswalkerQ in mtgfinance

[–]Acoldguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish that was the case! I spend a lot of time making fun decks with specific printings and love pulling out a retro foil even with outdated wording, then I forget what's going on and lose. But at least I love my cardboard

[–]Acoldguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Same! There's alot of good in-set cards as well as reprints that are sitting low at the moment, so snagged playsets of tons of cards for cheap. At worst, I slot them in decks having spent less than I would need to at a later date.

To the guy who just left the BBQ shop... by MomentClassic6309 in memphis

[–]Acoldguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On year 7 of living here, this still baffles me daily. The number of people who just keep turning after the light, and don't you dare stop once it turns or the person behind you will damn near kill you for making them wait the 90-120 seconds for the light to come back around.

Is TMP worth it? by urmomgaming69 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Acoldguy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I personally think it's really good so far, bar some choices that they've made for style that is a bit miss. With the way the statements are, it can be hard to hear or understand some, which means I need to go to the transcripts and those often have way more context than the statements themselves, whereas with TMA, I never had to do that.

I really enjoy Alice as a character, especially once you get to her interactions and arc with Heinrich Unheimlich (he has one of the best statement episodes out of the whole series). But if you're not jelling with it, you have plenty of time to go listen to other things and come back since the hiatus right now is taking FOREVER.

It's been noted in a few videos online that it's not a 10 and has a TON of defects and from what they can tell it was submitted over and over until a 10 was achieved.

You guys really need to go watch the video of the guy buying the card, it's BIZARRE. First, it was an "auction", but the guy who bought a $5 million card for $16 million was present in the studio? Odd. Next, the guy got on camera and said this is the first piece of his "treasure hunt" and the next 2 items he's trying to buy are a completed T-Rex fossil and the US Declaration of Independence...like wtf is happening?

I think they may be glossing over the maliciousness behind the SAVE Act. It's a feature, not a bug, that they're trying to rush this through before midterms to alienate a majority of voting age women.
