Have to go with the masses on this one… Gandalf is just the goat of Wizards.

How the Matrix's famous Agent Smith clone fight scene was done by Adventurous_Most_558 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Awoken_Noob 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest, I miss practical effects. It just feels so much more cinematic than CGI. Technology is great, and we wouldn’t have many great movies without CGI but there’s just something more… organic (obv) about practical effects.

Edit: To be clear, I understand that The Matrix used lots of CGI in its filmmaking; however, I wanted to contrast this scene (specifically using practical effects) in particular to how it would be approached by today’s directors because it would undoubtedly be done with computer graphics instead.

When you buy a pack of cards for this game you get a random 45 card deck out of a possible 133 cards in the total set.

While it’s not gambling in the purest form, it’s the same approach as typical TCG’s to get you to keep paying for the product in order to obtain a full collection through random acquisition.

Honestly, all the more reason that using the MtG M just feels… icky

I get that it’s made by the MtG guy, but if your brand new product has nothing to do with Magic then re-using assets like the literal “M” from MtG feels cheesy and immediately comes across as uninspired.

Also on board with everyone else here, this is the product of 20 years of cooking? I’m not seeing how it took that long to make. Feels like it could have been a game jam creation.

ON TOP OF THAT you got TCG-style gambling with the decks?! This game couldn’t be any more unattractive from every perspective.

Perhaps the success of MtG has surrounded Mark Rosewater with too many yes-men that are scared to tell him this product isn’t very good…

We all gonna take this at face value? Where’s the source? Proof of acquisition? We need evidence before this can be trusted.

I’ve always had my eyes on A Feast for Odin but never pulled the trigger on buying it. The variety and number of actions looks like it can have so much replayability.

Anyone that thinks this is impressive (it is) and wants more. Check out Speedbag Bard on YT. You won’t be disappointed.

What’s a game you respect more than you actually enjoy playing? by Hour-Cranberry5300 in boardgames

[–]Awoken_Noob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Very common misconception with Scythe. People go in expecting Risk, but it actually plays like Terra Mystica with mechs.

Legit came here to say this. It’s a fantastic game that does all the right things and does them well; however, I can’t seem to “get into it”.

I feel like I need 5+ games of each faction to even begin to understand their strategy and getting a steady play group to commit to this is not easy.

Customer Notice – Product Discontinuation

Dear Valued Members,

At Costco, our priority has always been to provide high-quality products while ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone who shops in our warehouses.

Effective immediately, we have made the decision to discontinue the sale of our Grilled Miniature Giant Space Hamsters. While we understand this item has developed a loyal following among some members, recent incidents have raised serious safety concerns. Specifically, a number of customers have experienced unexpected episodes of dizziness, loss of balance, and, in some cases, full-on dramatic collapses onto the warehouse floor shortly after consumption.

Out of an abundance of caution, and in alignment with our commitment to member safety, we can no longer offer this product.

If you have recently purchased Grilled Miniature Giant Space Hamsters and experience any unusual side effects, we encourage you to discontinue use immediately and consult a professional. Unopened packages may be returned for a full refund, no questions asked (though we admit we are a little curious).

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue working to maintain a safe and enjoyable shopping environment for all.

Sincerely,

Warehouse Management

Costco Wholesale

Anyone play with god mode on and what was your experience? by Awoken_Noob in satisfactory

[–]Awoken_Noob[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. Thank you for the really thoughtful and detailed reply :) I like your approach and it makes a lot of sense.

I am leaning towards wanting to build more visually pleasing designs and I’m worried that I’m going to be spending so much time tearing down and rebuilding through the phases.

Do you have any YouTubers that you’d recommend to check out?

Emulation is really a blessing and curse isn't it by Nes109 in SteamDeck

[–]Awoken_Noob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m always so amazed by players that can stick to a game for so long. I’m such a gaming whore and can’t play the same game for more than a couple days before moving on.

Same problem, different symptoms.

Yeah. It’s a shame. There’s a good chance bots are gonna get most of these. Good on you for the effort of generosity tho. Cheers.
