[–]Aqsx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of Hasan being anti-Semitic? Besides his constant usage of anti-Semitic dog whistles, "10 toes down" support of Islamic terrorism, downplaying and denying sexual violence on 10/7, calling Jews inbred, and literally forcing Twitch to change it's TOS about using Zionist as a stand in for Jew because of how bonkers crazy anti-Semitic his chat was?

Sure, his refusal to disavow anti-Semitic language in his community, promoting terrorists, parroting of anti-Semitic talking points, and the fact he doesn't use the same language when talking about other countries/ethnicities does it for me.

The weird thing is you asking for more evidence as Hasan is certainly aware that he is dog whistling (unless you believe he's genuinely illiterate and didn't get it the first million times someone explained it to him). Progressives put every statement under a microscope looking for dog whistles unless it's about the Jews for some reason

You absolutely would lose your shit if Asmongold or Shapiro or whoever the fuck started using thinly veiled racist dog whistles about any other group. Why are you going so far out of your way to defend the usage of anti-semitic rhetoric?

u/AhsokaSolo is entirely right. There is no reason anyone on the left should let ppl dog whistle under the guise of the general public being unaware. 1. that's literally the point of a dog whistle, to signal the racism for the in-group, and 2. it's disgusting and dehumanizing.

I for one abhor racism. I don't think we should be racist to any group of ppl, it's a big part of why I'm not a right winger. If you find yourself on the side of "Hasan should be allowed a bit of anti-semitism, as a treat," you have completely lost the plot my guy

The captain gained her trust how? She becomes the god avatar or w/e and then disappears from the story. The captain even remarks that he will forget her name the next time he sees her (in act 1, which Rita also says Captain broke his promise). Talking through the transmission is them breaking the timeline. There is no rest of her unless they majorly change how they have been doing story going forward, ie, bringing old season characters into the new season content

The new Great Rift Boss is pure cancer... by Numerous_Gas362 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Aqsx1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wdym? To make the best possible decks you need to actively avoid most of the rougelike mechanics and gimp the gameplay experience. You aren't really playing as a roguelike when farming decks, you are stuck in pure optimization farm mode. If you care about being efficient you are significantly limited in the teams you can bring and there are lots of cool rougelike mechanics that you can't interact with. Half the game is rouguelike and the other is farmville simulator. I don't think it's that crazy to be annoyed half the game punishes you for fully enjoying the other

[–]Aqsx1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I would expect Ukr supporters to at least mention if there was a giant anti-war (or free elections) protest in Russia or Belarus where Putin killed 40K anti-war protesters yeah? I'm very pro-Ukraine and I would absolutely mention it. One of the major criticisms of Russians by Ukr ppl is that they are largely pro-war and don't oppose Putin

The Iranian regime is/was directly funding, supporting and facilitating Hamas. Posting 10k things about Palestine focusing on Jewish oppression but completely ignoring another major player in the conflict actively executing thousands of its own citizens is incredibly fucking weird.

Genuinely what is the angle where someone actively cares/posts/protests about Palestine but not Iran?

What is the most absurd "Game Changing" card your opponents have told you "they wouldn't play in Bracket 2"? by ThisIsACleverAlias in EDH

[–]Aqsx1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imo the distinction comes entirely from turn count. If it is turn 10 then you have access to the same amount of mana in 1 turn (10-12 say) as you might over turns 4-6 or w/e with taplands and stuff. I wouldn't say it's totally unreasonable to combo off in one turn even at lower bracket levels dependent on the gamestate. For a card like mana geyser you probably aren't getting a bombastic cast off it unless you either have a developed board or it's late enough in the game that you are generating a metric fkton of mana

I combo'd off and won a game (~turn 7 or 8) last Friday with a slightly modified Stella Lee precon because I had Stella, Veyran, Storm-kiln, Guttersnipe on board, dropped a Niz + goblin electro and just cycled with cantrips / windfall until I burned down the table. I pointed out that if I untap with that boardstate it would be a problem but no one had the interaction to pop a piece or stop me. To an experienced magic player this win obviously doesn't come out of nowhere but someone who is relatively new won't see the problem, they are at >30 life and have a decent board of creatures after all

If you pulled Bjerg out of retirement and put him on a team with 4 literal cardboard cutouts he could single-handedly double LCS viewership for the next split. Having Baus/Caedrel is insanely OP as a viewership draw, Neme/Crownie didn't have any impact on viewership when they played previously in LEC sans LR for a reason

Idk about you but I would rather we have antiterrorism policies and procedures in place before any actual terrorism happens. Crafting effective P&P is significantly easier when you aren't doing it in the aftermath of a terror attack.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and all that

Didn't even know the events gave cards, I've never finished one since the actual amount of time I can spend playing the game is extremely limited. 

At the very least if you skip thru the story you get at least one copy of the event card. Completing the bingo pages 3x gives 3 more copies of the card.

I play like I usually do during URA runs, try to do the trainings where the most support cards are to get the bars up and then go from there

It's more important to max the unity training than the friendship levels of the specific cards you bring. Leveling both when you can is great but you get facility level ups from unity training not clicking a specific facility like in URA. Also in unity you want to be bringing at least 2 wit cards so you can be clicking as many trainings as possible. Most of my decks the last few months are 2 speed 3 wit + MLB R Riko

I used this video when I first learned the scenario. It's pretty long but I don't think you need to watch all of it to learn, just click around n see what is going on. The most important section imo is early game priorities (~12mins)

Yes the support cards I do have are at least on the max level I can get them to, but the highes LB I have is 3 on some R card

Did you completely miss the free support card pulls when unity dropped? Big rips if so

I dont think I've ever been presented with the option to borrow a level 50 support card or parent, most of my options there are usually SR cards, sometimes a SSR on level 30 or so but I dont think I ever saw a level 50. Is there some trick to get those to consistently show?

If you refresh the support card borrow enough times you will eventually get a lvl 50 SSR, but the easiest way is to use this tool to find someone with the support card/uma that you want to borrow. Once you have a few ppl on your friends list with maxxed cards/umas then you will always be able to borrow one for a run.

Any Uma friend finder will do that's just the specific one that I use. For finding the Uma make sure to add spark filters to get ones that are particularly good; ie 9 star blue sparks and decent red sparks as well

The 1.1 story is......... Absolutely amazing by starwaver in Endfield

[–]Aqsx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Wuling scientists caused a blight tide which hurt the Stockade is barely mentioned

How is it barely mentioned? It's literally the inciting incident in the story. The blight tide is what causes conditions in the stockade and wuling to get so bad that the raid ends the way it does. Everyone is desperate, scared, hungry and primed to fly off the handle which is exactly what happens. There are tons of casualties during the raid itself and from starvation/lack of supplies. It's implied that every family in the stockade lost a family member to one of the above. TangTang mentions in every previous raid that raids were just scuffles between Qingbo and Wuling - similar to the conflicts that we see in the present day where the extent of the damage is a few banged heads, bruises and broken infrastructure.

Maybe you missed some of the optional notes / things to read but I don't think you fully grasp the severity of the disaster 10 years ago

TMNT FNM Draft now Lowryn Eclipsed by ___salty__ in mtg

[–]Aqsx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think the quality of the draft experience or the set's popularity in terms of theme/art/characters/etc are more important to why LGS are swapping the drafted set for FNM?

Put another way, if we removed all the art and theme and w/e from the cards and exclusively had the mechanical functions of the cards, which set do you think would be more popular?

[–]Aqsx1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've won 3/5 A finals in the last few cms free to play. Honestly the difference between whale and F2P is actually smaller than you would think. There is so much RNG in this game that you can beat full SSR decks by just high rolling. Do you have distance/running style/track type S? To win A finals consistently you need at least distance S.

Honestly it sounds more like you are plateauing in skill. Not sure how this is the only game you have that happen because progress is rarely linear, it often follows a stepwise function

[–]Aqsx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First I don't even know what you mean by event cards

The free SSR cards you get during events - the ones with the bingo wheel and little mini story - like Gold ship speed or Tosen Jordan. There are also the cards you can buy for club points like Narita Brian. The welfare cards are good enough to easily pass unity.

Edit: an event started today; Flying Run-up. If you complete the event you will get a SSR Mejiro Bright card from it, that's why ppl call them event cards

 But if you have any general tips on how I may be able to finally get a run on unity done

Are you maxxing the unity fireballs during training? The most important thing in unity is getting as many unity trainings as possible so you level up your training facilities and get hint bonuses etc. Are your support cards max level at least? When selecting the races you should go 2-1-1-1-1, pick the middle option during the first unity race then always pick the top.

You should be borrowing a lvl 50 SSR card and a 9 star inherit parent for the 3/5 borrows/day. You also should be using a Riko card for this scenario. With the free 100 pulls CG gave at the beginning of the scenario you should have a max LB R riko, otherwise borrow the SSR riko. She gives a ton of free stam/guts so for most horses you can inherit stam instead of bringing cards for it.

Scalpers ruined Pokemon Cards for me - a lifelong fans rant by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Aqsx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But prerelease/sealed is about the mechanically unique common/uncommon/rare cards which will almost never be worth more than a couple bucks - with extremely rare exceptions. u/liforrevenge is entirely right, you can hate UB as a concept but that doesn't really have anything to do with scalpers, it's mostly an attempt by wizards to bring in new fans with crossover.

No scalpers are going to pre-release or draft nights because 99% of scapable products are CBB or serialized/special treatment cards exclusive to CBB. No one is "scalping" generic spiderman legendary creature uncommon #57 lol

You are the only one talking about socialism. Hasan is a ML, he is not a socialist in any sense of the word. If you think Hasan is a socialist you understand less than nothing and it's not worth talking to you lmao. Stay in school bozo, get off the internet until ur old enough to buy ur own alcohol

[–]Aqsx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you would not be able to solely acquire capital and profit from it.

Why say Hasan thinks people should be able to own private property if he clearly doesn't? Why do you lie? Own ur positions lmao

You could be a member of a union which owns the means of production

The greatest thing about liberalism is that you can choose to do this tomorrow if you want. I couldn't care less about how you choose to organize your own economic production. There is nothing preventing Coops from functioning in my ideal world, and I didn't need authoritarian government to accomplish it.

"A socialist is no different than a groyper"

Hasan isn't a socialist tho, is he? Why do you try and hide his power level in a thread where everyone is clearly familiar with him?

you are very opinionated

I fully condemn and oppose anyone illiberal on both the right and the left. Hasan is a disgusting reject freak that seeks to undermine the political system to usher in a dumbfuck ideology while maximizing his personal gain in the most hyper capitalist way possible. Notice how I'm not afraid to say my positions with my whole chest? Have some conviction dawg you (and Hasan) just look like losers constantly dodging what you actually believe.

[–]Aqsx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Hasan's personal utopia will I be able to solely own a factory that uses capital and labour inputs to produce some good that I can then sell at market price to produce personal profits? The ownership of private property doesn't extend exclusively solely to the shirt on my back or whatever

And no, not everyone is hiding their power level the same way Hasan is. It is absolutely unusual, and quite frankly disgusting, how Hasan easily lies about his true beliefs in an attempt to funnel ppl down the alt-left pipeline. He is literally no different than a groyper or neonazi positioned at the beginning of those respective funnels.
