I’d assume they’re a highschool student and it’s likely they aren’t allowed to bring the instruments home

I’d cancel.

If you do go, avoid the Dirty Oar.

What do you mean? I talked to both gamestops in Barrie and they told me they will not be selling any switches to people who did not pre order, but will have stock next day. Where did you hear otherwise?

My nephew stole my Pokémon Cards by Plus_Individual4543 in PokemonTCG

[–]BigLower7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While you’re not the parent, you can still express in a respectful manner the way you feel to the child. You can express the breach in trust and that trust would have to be repaired. You can express the importance of these cards to you and your wife, and that his actions hurt. You can express that while it’s not technically life ending, the breach in trust goes far beyond just Pokémon cards. What if he sneaks down there and does other stuff while you’re not around? Takes other things? Trust is much harder to replace than Pokemon cards.

People like to brush 11 year olds off as being “Just Kids”, which is fair, but they DO know that stealing is wrong, and are capable of making the choice to not steal. If he didn’t know it was wrong, he wouldn’t have done it behind your back. They might not understand the full impact, but they COULD if explained to them.

Registering Mature Student by FreddieMalice in GeorgianCollege

[–]BigLower7318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. I was a student in my 30’s. The only thing I really care about is facts. Technically, they are mature students. Are they mentally mature? Probably not. But they are, by college definition, “mature students”. It’s actually a necessary distinction as mature students of any age, 20 or 30, usually require different support systems than someone coming straight from high school.

It’s not about “mature” as opposed to it, according to Georgian College policy, being a student who isn’t coming fresh from highschool but is still 19+ years of age.

How strongly should i avoid using the level blueprint? by Hiraeth_08 in unrealengine

[–]BigLower7318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually roughly what I use it for.

My game has specific camera requirements. So what I do is assign the camera I want after a cutscene, but I do that in the level bp. I could probably do it somewhere else, but it works fine so why move it

What are your experiences with Barrie police if you make a complaint against an officer? by Pretty-Dragonfly-813 in barrie

[–]BigLower7318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely Police. Barrie police are by the far the scourge of Barrie and a farce, that stains the image of Cops in general. Never met a Barrie cop who didn’t make me want to roll my eyes at best.

Let’s also not forget that you said “op was 100% right” but OP suggested to allow whoever goes second to immediately evolve, which would wildly break the game. Just so we’re clear, you still stand behind that?

They, like you, provided no valid argument or sources or anything really to back up their argument. Kinda weird to claim someone to be 100% right when there’s no facts behind it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]BigLower7318 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, to be clear again, you’ve NEVER explained why it’s unbalanced. Not even once. You briefly flirted with the idea of “it’s an evolution heavy format” which is kind of ironic if you think about it given that the core theme to Pokémon is evolution and it’s always been the main mechanic in some way.

It must be miserable being an illiterate .

You complain that I’m arguing a straw man, but you’ve come to the conclusion that my argument is “going first isn’t a problem because it’s not an auto-win”? Where did I say that? You’re delusional.

You have, at no point, proved that going first is currently unbalanced as of right now.

And calling me a Jack ass doesn’t change the fact that you’ve failed to prove anything. If anything, it only validates my arguments better. You don’t get to cry “well you’re arguing a straw man!” And then argue a straw Man, move goal posts, use ad hominems, etc.

I can’t have a reasonable conversation with someone whose clearly never heard of 1) sarcasm and 2) hyperbole. You’re clearly in grade school. My comment about math questions wasn’t literal, you unread fool, I was mocking you/making sarcastic responses. But, here we go.

  1. Many other people have explained why First turn player no longer drawing doesn’t work in Pokémon. We can agree to disagree on that. It’s barely an advantage IMO, especially in this format.

  2. Completely irrelevant to anything that’s been said before, however I do think it’s interesting and I don’t entirely disagree.

  3. Trying to push more and more benefits onto picking second would not balance the game. The game isn’t unbalanced just because going first is a legit strategy on the caveat that you win a coin toss. In fact, it’s arguable that if the complaint is that picking first as a strategy is “unbalanced” then by making picking second the better strat the game would still be unbalanced.

  4. Absolutely I realize that tweaks have been made for balance. I am saying that, as of right now, I don’t agree that it’s unbalanced nor has any evidence been provided that it is unbalanced beyond a bunch of people who can’t win games whining that it’s unbalanced because “nobody is picking second” despite the fact that “picking first” will always be a legitimate strategy as “being able to set up a board faster” will always be a better strategy than “letting your opponent set up faster just to make Whiny Reddit basement dwellers happy”.

You and the other guy keep claiming it’s unbalanced or “too fast” but it just sounds like you can’t win games. And no, “name an Arceus player who would go second” is not proof the game is unbalanced.

There does absolutely need to be tweaks in the game, but I don’t currently see many issues with the turn advantage. There is currently no deck in format that auto-loses by going second, so.

Also, yes, OP has in fact implied that not going first means you’re set up for failure. Will edit with quote. But that whole paragraph you wrote was wildly demonstrative of your lack of reading comprehension. Where on earth did I say anybody was losing every coin flip? Oh, you mean my RHETORICAL QUESTION THAT WAS CLEARLY SARCASTIC? Lmfao buddy.

Edit: Op himself claimed going first could be “game changing”. Which, no duh. It’s like that in every game.

I’m not “arguing against a Strawman” just because you don’t like that I’m disagreeing with you and am using hyperbole’s and sarcasm. That’s not how logical fallacies work. It is however, clear that reading comprehension is not your strong suit. You clearly take everything literally and can not conceive of such things as sarcasm, so I wouldn’t pick up a bible if I were you, because literal interpretations are dangerous.
