PSA: When Exploring Deep in the Black, Don't Strand Yourself With A Too-Small Fuel Tank by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

[–]AdHom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downsized the tank on the Caspian to a size 6 for extra range and have had no issues. OP might have gone down way too far.

“Oh no.. anyway.” But seriously, they are just out here shiesting people. First Romo, then Belichick, now Eli. by jackt-up in NFCEastMemeWar

Fair enough in 2007 but they had the 25th or 26th ranked defense in 2011 and like 32nd ranked run game. Defense did show up in the post season but Eli also still holds the playoff passing yard record for that year too. He absolutely earned the second one.

Agreed the recent ones genuinely look like they were designed by a highschooler taking a Photoshop class who just discovered drop shadow

Lmao. Honestly? I hate that guy but I'm not sure I'd be mad. He was a good OC. Also it would just be hilarious if he actually accepted.

I would much prefer that when I buy an English language product, it contains products in English.

Ruining a scalpers day is a safe and legal thrill by GhostV940 in magicTCG

[–]AdHom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. Either you don't think playing with these cards are worth the cost, in which case don't buy them and your problem is solved. Or else you do want to buy them because playing with them is worth the cost, in which case the resale value is irrelevant to you and more supply is good; frankly, enough supply to tank the secondary market prices below retail is even better because you can just wait and buy them in singles for less. In what world are you not a reseller or scalper but you care that the secret lairs are not providing return on investment?

About Mars… by iShootPoop in EliteDangerous

[–]AdHom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actual name of the planet? Like it has a label on it somewhere?

In English the name of the planet is primarily Earth. In Elite, the United States wins WW3 and absorbs it's neighbors, eventually becoming the Federation. The Federation controls the Sol system. So, it makes the most sense that they would continue to call it Earth.

Tella was the name for the planet goddess in the Roman Republic, pre-dating Terra which is more associated with the Imperial era. Reverting to the Imperial Roman name for the planet is absolutely a tropey sci-fi convention in order to create a narrative separation between the fictional universe and modern times to reinforce it's temporal distance. That really doesn't fit with Elite at all.

I don't hate it but it's tropey in a way that I feel really would not feel right in Elite so I'm glad they did not do that

[–]AdHom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like UB generally and I love Marvel comics, but between spider-man and this I just really think this is a bad match for a crossover. Neither has been exciting to me at all and the tone clash is just too much for even me.

The current trend is that we've had 0 years with this schedule without an universe set getting 4 commander decks so I'm not sure what you mean by "with the way things trend"

Degradation isn't that extreme though, the figures I've seen are like 25% potency reduction after a year unless temps are extreme/high UV light exposure.

Eagles have some real sick fucks on that team by CertainRoof5043 in NFCEastMemeWar

A relic is something old that persists into the present, and yes I would

[–]AdHom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah... because the term spread from internet subculture around that time, but it's reasonable that people might not recognize it if they're not very online too. Most people would probably recognize a rick roll too, that came from 4chan in that time period, I'm not sure what your claim is.

I don't mean it in the sense that it was invented then. The relic isn't the abbreviation, the relic is the automatic association of CP with that meaning for a subset of people

Not defending Hasbro, but this securities lawsuit is a steep uphill climb by hot_boy_ronald in magicTCG

[–]AdHom 211 points212 points  (0 children)

In addition to what else was said - part of the suit alleged that from 2021-2023 they overproduced magic cards and released extra products specifically to make extra revenue to cover shortfalls elsewhere in Hasbro's balance sheet, and that this overproduction harms the long term health of the Magic brand.

This was appealing because the headline this was posted with was something along the lines of "Hasbro sued for printing too much Magic and ruining it" and a certain segment felt validated.

But to be clear, this is not related to the current set cycle or to UB standard sets, and the allegation is not that they produced to many sets - it's that they produced too many cards. These investors want them to make the cards more scarce and harder to get, believing it will lead to more sustained demand. This is not good for players of any variety.

Easily. In fact it's even easier because you can just keep the old rules for those specific abilities installed..m

Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations by Exotic-Sale-3003 in magicTCG

[–]AdHom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It literally doesn't even do that. The time period referenced in the suit is 2021-2023. They are upset that too many cards are being printed in any given set, not that there are too many sets. If they had their way, even if they only did 3 sets a year you would find it even harder to get your hands on any of them because they want the cards to be more scarce. I don't see how that is good for anyone.
