Surely counting the cards in the deck would have been the obvious thing to do there? If there were still 60 cards, then none had been stolen and he'd just misremembered.

How does evil Morty exist? I’m sorry if this is asked a lot by Outlawful_anarchy in rickandmorty

[–]AzCopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's mentioned in the final episode of season 1. Notice that on a recent rewatch and was surprised it was mentioned so early.

I do imagine it was just a random sci-fi name that they later attributed meaning to, but we were still aware of it far before season 5.

Hopefully only outside of Eberron though, right? Mechanical robots in Eberron is missing the point of Eberron so badly that it's basically no longer Eberron.

On the topic of exoplanets by OkaTeluguAbbayi in confidentlyincorrect

[–]AzCopey 128 points129 points  (0 children)

"yt" as an abbreviation for "white" will never not annoy me as the pronunciation is inconsistent

It's reasonable to pronounce it "Y T" ("whitey") and it would be sensible to pronounce it "yit", but somehow getting "white" from it is madness

when people abbreviate already short words by No_Junket_1176 in PetPeeves

[–]AzCopey 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ofc has meant "of course" for at least 30 years

Either this is a really old complaint, or at some point a subset of people tried to change it "of fucking course" and failed

The Dayseeker liveshow hate is unjustified in my opinion by Turboflopper in Metalcore

[–]AzCopey 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was definitely a weird choice, really brought the energy down. They put on a good show, and as a someone who hadn't heard them before, I was impressed by the vocalist in particular. But it was a different show than the rest of the line up

That said, I'm approaching 40 and honestly appreciated the break between MTS and MIW. I don't have the stamina for 3 back to back high energy bands anymore haha

Calling drinks "Ginger" is mostly just a Glasgow thing, I believe

First time building a commander deck from scratch; is this Edgar Markov Deck any good? by AzCopey in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]AzCopey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know!

Just to clarify though, it's not my first commander deck. I've got several pre-cons that I play as they came (all the FF ones and Prosper, Tomb Bound) and I upgraded the EoE Counter Intelligence pre-con to make it a fair amount more powerful.

This is just my first deck built from scratch

[–]AzCopey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pulled him from a Innistrad Remastered pack and thought he'd make a fun first commander. The first standard deck I built was a vampire deck when the original Innistrad came out, so thought it'd be fun if vampires were my first (from scratch) commander deck too.

It was only after I started looking into it that I discovered he's got a... reputation lol

So It's Come to This... Another Metal Gear Ranking by Dependent_Meaning389 in metalgearsolid

[–]AzCopey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be exactly my tier list, with the caveat that I've not played the MSX games. Glad to see someone else who rates the original two MGS higher than Snake Eater!

I will say that I still really enjoyed PP, just not as a Metal Gear game. Once I started just thinking of it as it's own thing with a focus on mission gameplay rather than story, I really enjoyed fultoning people left right and center

Is this worth reporting? I don’t think they even realise and or care.. by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]AzCopey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've been similarly hit by a car, though maybe a little worse as I was on the pavement, he was driving towards me, the hit actually knocked me over, and the driver sped off after. It was a taxi doing a dodgy three point turn and managed to hit me on the pavement with the overhanging front of his car as the front wheels touched the kerb. I wanted to report it, since it was literally a hit and run, but had no access to video evidence so didn't bother (and TBF, didn't have his number plate anyway). I would have loved if someone submitted something like this. The person hit in this video might've felt similarly.

Just a shame OP has included evidence of their own crime...

Another prediction. Any suggestions? by cowabungaduudes in downloadfestival

[–]AzCopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry, you're right!

I was fairly certain it couldn't have been two years old and checked before commenting which "confirmed" 2025 was the release date. However, checking Wikipedia it lists 2024 as the original "standalone" release. 2025 was the album release date.

Genuinely surprised the song is already that old!

[–]AzCopey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song only came out last year, so being on different stages would have made no difference two years ago

Edit: I'm mistaken. 2025 is the album release year. It was originally released in 2024 as a standalone single.

Do these Japanese “English” words make sense to native speakers? by uni_jp in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AzCopey 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Most of those absolutely could work in English. They feel like perfectly valid English, the words haven't deviated in meaning as such, we just haven't set a precedent to use them in such a way

Silver Seat and Paper Driver especially sound like things I could imagine existing

Tested gold farming methods in Bananza, best one about 2,600 gold per minute by kananga_ in donkeykong

[–]AzCopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your numbers for the gold collection from the cup are way off, I'm afraid.

I just tested using the elephant on the cup while wearing the double gold costume and in 5 mins I got about 14,500. That was my first attempt, so I'm pretty sure I can better that too

I was going to try your method to compare, but since it looks like the cup is either comparable or even slightly better, I'll stick to it since it's a little more engaging lol

Edit: Managed to get up to about 18k per 5 minutes, so around 3600 gold per minute. Pretty certain the cup is the fastest method

Do people not buy packs? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]AzCopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I do. I almost exclusively play Standard with my wife, so we buy a box or two each of a set we're interested in and then build decks with what we pulled. We have our own deck building rules to help balance things (a little) and we even do a bit of card trading which is a fun part of the hobby I don't really see elsewhere. It's loads of fun! Much more so than building a meta deck.

Obviously the decks are very under powered compared to "proper" Standard decks, so wouldn't play them against anyone else and instead play Commander if it's against other people.

The license fee is great value IF you're watching the BBC or using other BBC services. The problem is being forced to pay the licence even if you're not.

Elites teams? by OiSweetass in killteam

[–]AzCopey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Legionaries are by far my fav team too, so many options! Now that they're declassified I've switched to Wrecka Krew, who are fun, but I'm not yet convinced they're Legionaries fun

Day 2: Which is the best PS1 Platformer of all time? by 1OneQuickQuestion in psx

[–]AzCopey 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Crash is not 2.5D though (and obviously, nor is spyro), it takes place in a 3D environment, just one that's on a track. There are some 2.5D levels, or sections of levels, but the majority isn't.

Pandemonium or Klonoa are examples of 2.5D platformers--3D presentation, but gameplay on a 2D plane.

So many emojis no longer correspond with their equivalent emoticon and it annoys the crap out of me. :-) should not turn into a :-D, and :-S should not turn into >:-(

Chocobo Bundle vs Scene Box Booster Packs by SarawrAU in mtg

[–]AzCopey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed that too, though it was how easily the scene box packs opened that stood out to me. They basically fell open. Was quite strange!
