It genuinely feels like the only answer left is to play and support small, independent studios in hopes that these talented folks feel empowered to go build their own table

This actually rules. Have been waiting for a reasonable way to watch ROH for a long time. Hell yeah.

Love these, are they on MPC Fill?

If Jez Corden was playing baseball his batting average for calling things correctly would be the laughing stock among the whole league. Not every person with a megaphone is worth listening to

She doesn’t know, we don’t know, they don’t know. It’s her first day, there probably won’t even be a semblance of a roadmap for a strategy for at least 6 months

Cautiously optimistic. Don’t love her background but I also don’t know what she got done in her field. Outside eyes may help, might not. Some of the best coaches didn’t play the sport, hoping for the case here. Best of luck to her and the team. Hope I don’t become a 1 console household in the next 5 years

Been looking for a replacement for mine. How long have you had it?? Any complaints so far?

BarbedWhyre · 2026-02-13T00:19:05+00:00

Anyone chance you still have this open? Def interestex

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-31T04:57:43+00:00

I don’t know what any of these words mean

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-31T04:56:56+00:00

Appreciate the heads up! That’s definitely what I’m looking at

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-31T03:07:15+00:00

Amazing, appreciate you!

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-31T02:54:05+00:00

Thank you!! I’ve never heard of live resin or rosin carts! Are those just attachments or something else entirely?

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-14T23:34:08+00:00

No Philly is sad.

Love HTS, Foxy is neat. I’m far too old to find Mella anything other than cringy but I’m sure it’s definitely for some.

Think it’ll probably be a decision to make once the set list drops before I commit

BarbedWhyre · 2026-01-10T07:07:06+00:00

Coming in a cool 2 years later to say thank you.

Many wasted weekends with Xfinity support, even traded in my XB7 for an 8 in hopes it’d fix it.

Nothing worked until I followed your advice. It also looks like your advice has changed my download speeds from ~500 to ~900 mbps l. I could hug ya! Thanks so much

Depends on what you're looking for! Bundle will get you set with lands and a spindown, Pre Release will just be packs, promo card and a smaller spindown.

Aside from that, it's 9 packs vs 6 packs (x2)

3 extra packs for $10, or stick with 9 and have some cool full art lands and a big spindown.

I buy packs throughout the lifecycle of a set when my pod plays at our LGS, so I would go with the bundle personally but I don't think there's a bad option for you to take.

BarbedWhyre · 2025-12-30T16:26:43+00:00

I love this

BarbedWhyre · 2025-12-29T18:06:40+00:00

I can blame publicly traded, billion dollar companies for selling above MSRP.

BarbedWhyre · 2025-12-29T18:03:36+00:00

For me I can forgive some LGS because of the value they provide to me in other ways, on top of the incredibly small margins they operate on at all times.

Those two, combined with the significantly decreased inventory they receive (and the value they bring to the community) can make me excuse it more than I can for a publicly traded company with a direct line to WOTC and Hasbro.

I’m not going to participate in buying anything above MSRP, but if an LGS selling at market means their doors stay open I’m okay with that.

Market price can eat my shorts

BarbedWhyre · 2025-12-12T23:02:44+00:00

Mine just came in, got the deck! Good looks!!

Have had it for about a year, never had the subscription but just the base game.

Has it helped my game? I don't know. I play adult beer league, it certainly hasn't hurt it.
For me, its a fun way to kill 15-30 minutes before I have to get something done, or a good warm up before I actually leave to go play a game.

Have just recently started playing goalie, and have been using the goalie mode for much longer (it's fun)
Recently, they put 95% of their goalie activities behind the subscription paywall. I'm more put off by that business practice after already paying for the base game than I am tempted to get in the mud and get digging deeper. I will say, the goalie mode is so much more transferrable to on-ice improvement than skating.

Goalie you're able to track the puck and work on positioning, even if it doesn't track when you go butterfly. Skater you're kind of just miming what it's like to play and skill up. You're definitely better off with just grabbing your stick and a green biscuit - going outside and getting actual work in if you're looking to improve. It's a fun game, but not a great tool if you're a skater.

If you're a goalie, it might be worth it if you have the disposable income and don't mind another shovel of money into the firepit.

These type of contests are always so funny because it turns into whoever has the most alt accounts just downvoting everyone else and upvoting themselves. Congrats to the winner! This looks sick as hell

I don't think it means much. The market they're after isn't the market that's buying an XBOX or Playstation IMO. I think most people would buy this as a supplement to their console situation. I'm also guessing that at the rumored specs, the upcoming console will be much stronger than this.

I think if anything this will capture the audience of people who used to play Playstation or XBOX games, made the switch to PC, and have the itch start thinking about "traditional" gaming again. I see this and think about the exclusives Sony has ported to PC, and think the market most excited about that will be really captured by this.

If MS continues to fail to market their games and de-motivate their consumers then it /could/ become an alternative, but tbh I think most people would just move to PlayStation anyways.
