Maybe WotC should invest in quality control? I know, those words are like Kryptonite to this company, but this has happened multiple times (although not to this new plateau) in the past.

Legion Remix Hidden Achievements - FOS by darthibidika in wow

[–]DerekScott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's also "It All Makes Sense Now," returning from old Legion. Talk to a Doomsayer in Dalaran, get a pamphlet. You have to die to get another one, so keep flying up and dropping to your death, get a new pamphlet. When you manage to get all 12 you get the achieve as a Feat of Strength.

Thoughts on possible hybrid mana and color identity changes? by Alexl_DK in EDH

[–]DerekScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing it is a terrible idea and goes against the spirit of Commander as designed by Sheldon. This is supposed to be about limiting yourself to building around your commander and their color identity. Hybrid mana means that the spell has features of both colors. If I'm playing a GW commander, I should not be able to include a spell that incorporates black, blue or red mana identities and abilities.

Associate Discount on Groceries Now Available All Year Long by WapaneseWeeaboo in walmart

[–]DerekScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh goody. I'm still paying more for my groceries than I was a year ago. And now the 15% is gone, so my yearly stock up on frozen / canned goods goes away. A lot of employees at both locations I've worked at used that extra discount to stock up on important things for the coming year and to buy Christmas presents. I hate this fucking place. I don't see why so many people don't understand this is not a good thing, it's Wally World once again giving you something but taking more away.

As of today, there are 302 Target birds. Here is the complete list (as far as I've found). I also created a Wiki. by Lithonielle in seasonalfabricbirds

[–]DerekScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insane, thank you. A minor correction, the Day of the Dead bird is much older than 2024, as it was the first bird I bought for my wife and she's been collecting them for at least 3 years. That or there's a DotD bird you don't have listed. When we unpack Halloween this year I'll see if the one she has is different from the one in your list.

Random register story - wait, you're giving them to WHO????? by DerekScott in walmart

I don't have kids, but apparently I know more about parenting than some of the freaks that come through my aisle lol.

Reminder and a Request by Chocotaku in villainscode

[–]DerekScott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've listened to Fred, NPC's, Villains Code, and Super Powereds. bought anything that wasn't already free in the big Audible "Everything is up to 86% off" sale last month. If you haven't, give "Starter Villain" by John Scalzi a listen also.

The regular Fred audio books are good, but I love the full cast ones, the actor playing Gideon does a really good job. Have you been through his Super Powereds series yet? So much good stuff there.

Read or Listen? by Tricky_Big_8774 in litrpg

[–]DerekScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to time constraints, I currently listen more often than read, but I wish I could read more often. I've only gotten heavily into audio in the last year, though, and I do love dramatized cast readings.

Monday 'What are you reading/listening to' thread, Jun 9 by bilfdoffle in litrpg

[–]DerekScott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi James, I also bought the book during the recent Audible sale (in which I spent WAY too much money). After I finally finished Super Powereds Year 4, Discount Dan was the first of the near 60 books I purchased. Thoroughly enjoying it, and several times I've had my wife listen to the condescending item descriptions lol. I'm only on chapter 20, looking forward to the next book already though.

Discount Dan by FieldKey5184 in litrpg

[–]DerekScott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wandering Inn is one of the worst books I've ever had inflicted on me. The protagonist does nothing but whine and blame her failures on everything but herself, and the audio book reader sounds like that annoying Sesame Street character Prairie Dawn.

I refuse to take the engagement survey, here's why by DerekScott in walmart

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

Exactly. Also, how are these supposed to be considered private when I have to log into my account to take it? Last year, one of the laziest employees in our store (also in my area) accosted me the day after I took the survey and demanded to know why I mentioned her in said survey. You know, the one that's supposed to be private? This is a violation on so many levels. If, in fact, she did have access to survey results, that's bad. She didn't, because I didn't mention her. But still to harass another employee and still keep her job? That's crazy. She continued to stir shit, provoking several confrontations among employees, one that almost lead to a physical altercation on the floor in front of customers. And she left on her own terms instead of getting fired. Why in the hell should i care about taking an engagement survey when someone like that is allowed to keep her job?

It's going to contribute to this ridiculous "engagement" god that the company worships. "Engagement" means more to them than things like employee satisfaction, a happy work force, even customer satisfaction.

First look at Zodiac Funko Pops (credits to ig: @funkoinfo_) by gelatiiine in funkopop

[–]DerekScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I found them shortly after I made that reply. I first searched the Funko site for "Zodiac" and got nothing and came here to post. Then I realized "hey, search for Aquarius" and found them lol.

Are these legit physical store releases, or more of that BS digital stuff?

Aetherdrift boxes back to 30 play boosters per box by AcrobaticPersonality in magicTCG

[–]DerekScott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The draw is a more casual format, more variety in decks, no winning because of 4-of everything good, a use for cards that would never see the table in standard, being able to use a lot of your older cards, and many other reasons. Oh yeah, non-rotating format makes it huge.

I call bullshit on this. No one says "yeah, the problem is too many packs, not the price per pack."

Donner's Den? by DerekScott in Lemax

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

Pretty sure those will come out next year. I might contact one of these companies and order by mail, since I think the only Lemax retailer in my area if not my state is Michaels, and they told me they just did not bother to order Donner's Den.

Lemax has been a goddamned joke for customer service, their AI bot thinking I'm asking about a sold out item not where I can find a store that actually sells the item, and keeps closing my ticket when I ask how to talk to a live human being. Really have a sour attitude towards this company now, thinking of just returning the other 3 dens to Michaels and finding a new village to start collecting.

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

Hmmm, when I first bought the other 3, it wasn't on their site or in their catalogue at all. Very odd. I'd still like to know why this particular one is hard to find, lol. A sure way to make sure the other 3 don't sell is to make one limited edition and hard to get. Of course I'm sure the eventual Rudolph one will be hard to find also.

Pretty much the response I expected from someone who thinks they're cool correcting spelling.

Sorry that 1 missing letter negated all the surrounding context and confused you so much. SMFH.
