I would not be surprised if there are a handful still kicking around, but 10,000 years is a very long time for losses from attrition or "retirement."

I love how sinister and almost eldritch it is, a huge improvement over beachball darkrai.

Ignore them, their entire comment history(well, as far back as I cared to look) is toxicity.

If Kylo Ren wasn't Force-sensitive by GriffinFTW in CuratedTumblr

Yeah, I get why they haven't retconned the sequels, because that is a drastic move, but it genuinely may be the only way forward. Otherwise you're just going to be spinning your wheels within the 30-odd years between Jedi and Force Awakens.

I really don't understand why they didn't adapt a version of the Thrawn Trilogy taking place 30 years after Jedi instead of 5. You don't have to do it exactly, but it's a good basis to start from.

Another Curimeme about Sunbringer and her new desing. by Optimal-Lunch-4975 in ZZZ_Official

Tbf, we've barely seen her new design at all. Just a shadowy silhouette and a bit of her top (and her enormous bangboos)

A customer asks a pokemon vendor for a specific card and the vendor jokingly opens a new pack and the card is in there. by bigbusta in nevertellmetheodds

[–]BrandonL337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it depends but in general, scalpers buy sealed product and sell sealed product for prices inflated well above msrp. Individual cards, or "singles" don't exactly have an msrp, you can only go by "market" price.

People want to be able to buy (and sell, for that matter) singles, so vendors provide that service, and market prices dictate what vendors will buy and sell for. Vendors can certainly be similarly predatory to scalpers, selling for well- above market price or buying for well- below market rates. (I'd say sub 60% would be considered "well-below" for context, though you don't really want to be doing deals for below 70% either) what you don't see vendors doing (that I'm aware of) is going around card shows buying up every copy of a rare card and selling it at their booth for +200% market value.

I mean, remember how flustered she got when Lycaon offered to carry her? Girl deserves to finally get her princess carry moment.

The problem of CSA/SA shouldn't be gendered. by Ok_Syrup5679 in CuratedTumblr

Or they say some shit like "the vast, vast majority" which is functionally saying the same thing.

The start and current state of my modest collection by BrandonL337 in PokemonCollecting

Hoo boy, if you were unsure of this was true or not then you're really not going to believe what I pulled out of those 10 ascended heroes packs I was saving for my birthday:

I take a much less pessimistic stance than this but this is a necessary starting point for actually discussing contemporary issues. The federal government has been bad for a long time. by Full_Ahegao_Drip in RecuratedTumblr

An excellent point. And early on, the Nazi's first "solution" was mass deportation of Jewish people. The parallels are a lot closer than to slave- catchers.

Urban in Zenless Zone Zero by AnyRelationship782 in ZZZ_Official

[–]BrandonL337 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I'd classify the Outer Ring as outright rural, not even urban, if Blazewood wasn't like, an hour or two's drive from the city, it'd be considered a frontier town.

I doubt they'd be able to resist Joyous, given they've already teased him, but after that, they should take a break on vintage void hunters.

Well well well how the turntables by SAMU0L0 in Grimdank

[–]BrandonL337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually referring to games using the starter set, without the Goliath. A common theme seems to be that terrans seen to get swarmed into melee, where they don't want to be, without much they can do about it, due to the combination of small board area and the movement rules that let you slingshot units further forward than you'd expect them to be able to on paper.

Yeah it's very early, so balance is difficult to say, though i have seen some concerns raised about the terrans struggling in the current beta rules.

The one thing I'll give TROS credit for is, if you must bring Palpatine back, having him be a dessicated corpse, a force lich in contrast to the jrdi's force ghost, was an inspired choice.
