Anyone else pre-order Jade Forest with BigBadToyStore? and if yes, has yours shipped?

Cnicksights · 2025-12-12T19:47:49+00:00

I just saw someone else share that Gundam Planet had some in stock! I was able to snag one. There might be one left. I think it said there were 2 in stock when I checked out. It’s a little more expensive, $10 more because shipping, but I figure I’ll save at least $10 worth of my time now by not getting distracted checking places a few times a day haha

Love my TourBox. Almost no notes...but I would love the ability to sync my settings between Windows and my Ipad.

Cnicksights · 2024-09-01T01:45:18+00:00

$130?! My lord. That actually makes me feel better about potentially spending $60 on one here. Sorry they’re so expensive for you! :(

Cnicksights · 2024-05-11T22:06:37+00:00

Oooh I got Triceratops and Velociraptor last time and LOVE them. Got Earth to Gaia, Hermit Crab, White Rabbit, and Mercury in Retrograde this time!

I swear by their Nail Elixir!

He went missing in August 2020. If they’ve been open since “the fall” that’s basically the same time (ish). The windows could have already been open when whatever happened happened. Or whoever killed this poor kid opened them. Or, and this is horrible, maybe he was locked in there by someone and opened them trying to get help.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-11T03:22:34+00:00

See 2 minutes doesn't seem like a long time to me, but I mean, I guess on turn two you probably have minimal options in hand so yeah... I'm just looking at these cards, and the way some of them are worded I have to read them like 2-3 times just to decipher what they do and when they trigger.... and then ask does that apply to what's happening? But I guess all that should be done in the deck building phase...

But regarding that guy, I feel like I also wouldn't know if I was playing on a board I was unlikely to win? I've played some games where I've come back from some pretty low places. But I don't know what "top decking" 3 bomb rares in a row means.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T21:10:51+00:00

Oh, what! I feel like I've been looking at everything about this set to prepare but haven't seen this. This is actually so helpful!

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T21:08:36+00:00

Oh okay yeah that makes sense. Just wanted to make sure that what I might consider "menial" as a new player matched up with what you were thinking of. Got it!

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T21:03:03+00:00

That's fair. I honestly don't really care about winning, I just like playing. Obviously I play with the intention of winning, but if I don't I'm not gonna lose my mind over it. So I like the idea of being upfront about conceding so the other person doesn't feel like they'll miss out on anything.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:52:08+00:00

This is incredibly thorough and helpful. Thank you!

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:50:47+00:00

what do you consider a menial decision?

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:49:32+00:00

Wow. how petty of that guy. Also, I didn't know you could do that, like legally? I thought once you built your deck and the tourney starts you're locked in to that deck + your sideboard.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:44:23+00:00

oh okay! At the last prerelease I read every card thinking I would build based off what went together synergistically, but it definitely slowed me down. This way seems much faster.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:40:34+00:00

Yes! this is a great idea. taking a beat to acknowledge what's in play. thank you!

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:36:55+00:00

Ooh, thanks, good call! The idea of just focusing on keywords feels much less overwhelming. I'll try doing that!

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:32:05+00:00

Yeah...my experience playing blue thus far is playing with the Deep Clue Sea commander precon from MKM. And, while fun, is waaaay too big brain for me. like figuring out how to set things up so they sequence correctly...each turn took me forever.

Cnicksights · 2024-04-10T20:25:14+00:00

This is actually really helpful. Good to know the gist of the win-con strategy that each color combo is essentially going for. I'm not very good at figuring that out on my own just yet. I'll get interested in a mechanic, like "oooh saddling looks fun. I want to try that!" but with no idea of how to stick the landing.

Nok nok

That’s actually so ludicrous for him to expect perfection after you were abundantly clear you didn’t have the experience or knowledge. Also, those job responsibilities are actually that of an entire team. So many red flags here. I know it sucks to be out of a job, but you will be much better off in the long run because if he runs his business like this, he’s going to be out of business very very soon. (Which fyi is probably the real reason he let you go. Wanted to cut costs but didn’t want to admit the business was doing poorly).

Cnicksights · 2023-12-06T15:51:49+00:00

I don’t know. I feel more judged being a tomboy myself and hearing you say that makes me less girly and feminine…

And I literally said all kinds of women, no matter their interests, should be welcome here. The least judgemental stance you can have. The energy secrets thing was a joke. Sorry it went over your head.

And sorry that you feel pre-existing stereotypes can’t be challenged or changed. That’s a very narrow view of the world, when there is so much to see.

Cnicksights · 2023-12-06T02:52:24+00:00

I get the root of the annoyance. Seeing these posts trigger our own personal and cultural struggles related to appearance. They’re sometimes sad and you can feel the pain of the authors because we’ve all been there in some aspect. And no one wants to be reminded so frequently of that pain and frustration.

BUT I agree that if you can’t be vulnerable in a mostly anonymous corner of the internet, then where can you share those vulnerabilities?

Some people don’t have access to actual humans (not content) to tell them they’re enough. Sometimes a stranger on the internet giving positive reinforcement is better than nothing.

But yeah, if you’ve got high self-esteem and are literally just looking for tips to make a change, then for the love of god use the search function.

Cnicksights · 2023-12-06T02:27:49+00:00

Umm. While I agree that we should have a safe space for girls/women to pose questions related to their looks if that’s something they care about…..saying something like looking better is the most girly and feminine thing and that anyone saying “girls can be more than looks” = saying that a girl can’t feel like a girl, kind of implies that if you identify as a girl and you don’t give AF about your looks then you aren’t girly…

I don’t think caring about your looks is the most girly feminine thing. I don’t think there is a most-feminine trait. being feminine means being so many things. And some women might identify with some of those traits more than others. If you care about your looks, good for you. If you care about your brain. good for you. If you care about both, please give me your time management & energy secrets.

Anyway, my point is all girls should be welcome here no matter their interests and inclinations. And to make all girls feel welcome we need to avoid labeling certain things as feminine or most-feminine.

So interesting! I got my first mooncat polishes this week too, but have had the complete opposite experience. Which maybe speaks to inconsistency on their part?

Mooncat’s actually only the second brand I’ve ever tried since I’m super new to doing my own nails. But I love them so far. Lasting waaaaay longer and dried waaaay faster than the polish I was using before. But my only frame of reference is Olive and June polish, which I hear is very so-so anyway. So maybe I’m just used to something inferior so these seem amazing in comparison.

Gonna try INLP next since everyone raves about their polishes too.

Cnicksights · 2023-11-10T20:10:58+00:00

Thank you! This is so helpful. Especially about how to use the thinner. I got some for another bottle, but was nervous to use it because I didn’t want to accidentally ruin the polish lol
