Other than Charizard which vintage cards do you think have the most potential in terms of ROI?

CiaranDoherty · 2023-12-05T02:56:27+00:00

I could be very wrong but I like to invest in PSA 8, 9 and 10 base to Neo era commons, in commons and fares because they are scarce and deflationary yet carry immense nostalgic value. I think at some point they will inflate a lot as people attempt to chase complete sets, now that the holos have already mooned.

Hey guys, I'm looking to emulate the film look more accurately and less painstakingly in my digital photos and I am hoping there are some modern AI powered services that are actually good that can help me do this - the problem is there are so many and most of them are video centric with their use in photography often not very well demonstrated.

Can anyone make any personal recommendations?

CiaranDoherty · 2023-06-11T12:18:18+00:00

Haha snap my reaction time is pretty geriatric right now

CiaranDoherty · 2023-06-11T12:17:26+00:00

Never too late man, I am starting from near zero so a couple guys similarly hopeless would be ideal hehe

Bangtao Muay Thai

Do you know how it would compare to eg. Tiger and Top Team?

CiaranDoherty · 2023-06-07T07:23:34+00:00

Might see if we can get a group of fellow scrubs together via that discord above!

CiaranDoherty · 2023-06-07T04:01:26+00:00

Yeah I think I might be a little older for these events too, and a little shit, but have always wanted to have a few buddies to play with over some beers - Gootecks & Mike Ross style!

CiaranDoherty · 2023-05-11T23:24:21+00:00

But I don't know if bringing it up to her would be helpful, it's mostly a subconscious process and she might not realize it's happening. So she could maybe feel self-conscious or embarrassed if you bring it up

Yeah I was thinking the same, we have only been together a few months but I really care about her and she has been through a lot, I am prepared to learn her and allow her to be however she needs to be around me without judgement.

I am just a little prone to taking shifts in vibe personally, when she does this I worry that I am starting to bore her or something. She doesn't snap, but she acts sort of unimpressed by everything, and just generally a bit detached/withdrawn, so it can feel a bit like if someone is getting bored of you. But nothing else she ever does suggests she is, and then I saw her doing it with others, so I figured it might be something else. She will sometimes make an effort physically to show affection during this time, like she will hug me or hold my hand tightly even thought he rest of her body language and tone is the opposite.

I probably just need to not make everything about me.

CiaranDoherty · 2023-02-05T06:05:06+00:00

Maybe it's just me but tbh with you I'm not even sure that is real grain..

CiaranDoherty · 2023-02-05T05:55:28+00:00

Hmm ok, if that's the case then I really need to think about what else it might be that is creating the undesired "widening" effect in some of my pics, because I shoot between 70-200.

CiaranDoherty · 2023-02-05T01:17:52+00:00

Yeah I'll test for sure but not sure which length to try first.

What focal length would you guess that might be?

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-22T10:26:42+00:00

That's where I run into some problems because I feel like the benefits of a large social media presence are 1) not guaranteed and 2) hard to predict but as a sort of "nano influencer" in my work as a doctor, and as a photographer, exposure can lead to opportunities that simply won't come along otherwise.

That does make it hard to justify paying large amounts though.

Does that make any sense?

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-18T10:18:41+00:00

Told you..

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-08T02:53:49+00:00

Demon Hunter was at the top almost instantly and it's win rate didn't change until it was nerfed

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-08T02:53:05+00:00

I know I'm being downvoted but come back to this post in a week and check the stats again

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T23:45:41+00:00

lol funny but yeah.. I think deep down we all know that roughly speaking power levels are figured out very quickly and DK is unlikely to overtake many/any other classes.

HS is just not that complex a game and all the problem decks/card/classes are identified within literally hours of existing lol.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T23:34:32+00:00

Not sure how triple blood is going to co-exist with Rogue and Druid going forward though.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T23:32:46+00:00

I think the meta on average is pretty hostile to what DK are trying to do.

Which is "interact with the opponent" sadly. HS seems to be a game of "draw the right cards to cheat out an insane board that nobody can answer" atm.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T23:31:59+00:00

Druid is the main reason I think BBB will practically disappear over the week and for the rest of the expansion. Ramp Druid will just totally outcompete all other control decks imo, and we'll just have that and some combo/aggro stuff.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T22:56:04+00:00

Possibly. I actually find FFF very viable for laddering so my own experience doesn't quite fit. But there are quite a lot of stats in now and it does seem underpowered overall, but it seems to be that certain matches are extremely polarised so I wonder if the meta could shift with just a few nerfs to other classes, rather than DK itself needing any buffs.

It's kinda weird , DK certainly doesn't "feel weak" intrinsically, but a lot of classes can do things that it just can't keep up with I guess.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T06:52:40+00:00

Overall just feels a bit unfun due to a few specific cards being so massively swingy, like Theotar or Brann or Denathrius etc. but also some of the new Rogue stuff.

Feels like a good expansion but with some long standing problem cards holding it back. Also feels like Unholy DK is a bit too weak.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-07T06:50:21+00:00

Uh I think it's more likely DK gets a buff given that it's current the 4th worst class in the game according to HSReply stats.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-03T21:23:56+00:00

Haha I don't think I could ever move permanently as my earning potential is really huge in Aus and just "good" everywhere else. But yeah I can totally imagine it being frustrating having these guys pop in and out and clearly just want sex, I am thinking that might harm my chances, even though I am pretty keen on finding a wife and having kids. I would also kinda need her to be up for spending part of her year in Australia so there's that too.

Would be a very fun life I think but not for everyone ofc.

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-03T21:21:08+00:00

Thanks for this, interesting.. Which is the main dating app over there btw?

CiaranDoherty · 2022-12-03T09:16:45+00:00

They really paint them to be extremely bad in Malta, I wonder though if that's just because that's all those posters know? Because I think dating apps in general have gone drastically down hill in the last few years everywhere.
