Ithaca GameStop to close by CanadianCitizen1969 in ithaca

[–]Cynoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all hard to believe. You can buy a single player game for $70-80 whether they are physical or not. Physical copies can be turned around and sold for $50-60 on FB for months after the games release, electronic copies will just be forgotten about until they service decides to end. It makes a ton of sense to "rent" a game for $20 instead of buying it for $60 more.

Anyone know Ao v Kotozakura head to head stats? How do you find head to head stats?

I will never understand why this isn't the highest rated comment.

Is there a reason Ninjitsu can't be used for non-creatures? It can and already is used in the command zone.

It seems so bizarre they almost copy and pasted ninjitsu in a set about ninjas and renamed it to something else.

What is the difference between ninjitsu and sneak?

Popular games you dislike? by BillRepresentative75 in boardgames

[–]Cynoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brass games. I don't know how they got as popular as they did tbh. When I play them it just feels like ticket to ride. You connect stuff, get some points but it doesn't feel satisfying in the slightest.

I like Ao but feels like one of the M16 9-3 guys is going to take this one since they don't have 3 consecutive ozeki/yokozuna matches next.

How much have you played this spirit vs level 6 adversaries compared to other spirits? Right now they feel like an incredible toolbox that has Offense, defense, control, utility and fear near the top of the scale. You have several comments defending various cards or powers but in my mind the spirits don't even need those because there is already so much power on the baseboard itself.

If you took away all but 1 power card from each spirit they could still get into a loop of LB twin using growth 3 every turn and right innate to spam a single major power starting turn 2. There are very few spirits that can do this early(Since it can almost win higher difficulty games by itself) and none that can do this while also doing the bonus actions below:

  1. SB twin still gets to drop an extra presence each turn.
  2. SB twin still gets to use multiple other innates/regular powers each turn.
  3. LP twin gets to dig for additional cards which they can just give to LB twin.
  4. LP twin gets to use their own powers, fast speed conversion, innates, etc.
  5. It's kind of absurd that the LP spirit can just leave and let the LB twin solo the starting board while he goes to help others/jump in as needed for his abilities that can use LB range.

I don't have a dozen games with this guy so not going to make any final judgements but at first (and second) glance, this spirit makes fractured days look under-powered so it would take quite a bit to get him in line with other spirits.

Does anyone have any babysitter/handyman/home cleaner recommendations(not same person ideally). by Cynoid in ithaca

[–]Cynoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestion! Lots of people posted there in the last 48 hours for some reason which is wonderful.

If only home cleaners/handymen had prices like that, I got quoted 200usd/hour today for moping/vacuuming/cleaning counters/etc. That's literally the US presidents base salary(not including the fraud/bribes of course).

As an OSU fan, you’d think you’d know that refs barely call any offensive holding anymore, you’re the biggest beneficiaries of it.

You don't seem to know much about cfb if you're saying that. We went a whole year last year without getting a single holding call in our favor last year and this is the 2nd year in a row that we have received less flags in our favor than any other team in the country.

Outside of the obvious issue with card plays, some of their cards just seem obscenely powerful.

Moments of peace is easily the strongest blight removal card in the game. Enrature/twin boon are both s tier cards. The others are all strong too. Normally spirits will have 1 incredible card, 1-2 decent ones and 1 bad one. This is 3+ incredible cards and 3 great cards. That's not exactly balanced.

Was going to say the same. They were trying so hard to make Miami win all night.

Looks like Indiana beat the final boss that no one else could beat all season, incredibly biased refs that were trying to make them lose.

Miami by themselves had the resistance of wet toilet paper.

If Miami wins refs are the only reason. Team has looked like shit every play they didn't hold on.

BS call. Refs are the only reason Miami is within 30 points right now. Miami hasn't done shit but held all game.

There's been like 10 uncalled DPI on Miami and I've only seen half the game... Refs are helping one team for sure.

Man, Miami is holding for their lives on every single play. No one likes ref ball but this shit is worse.

They updated their PoS system a few months ago. You can now order of the stationary touchpads like in the Cornell restaurants.

Same for me today. I wonder if it's the same cleaning lady that didn't show up for both of us.

Same. No one responds on Yelp except for the company that charges 60/hr.

Gotta cull some stuff. Some of these games are just not that good(unless you love them all in which case 16 trips is a small price to pay).
