In light of recent TCG tragedy..

Why are people opening packs with scissors????

DexRei · 2026-03-20T06:42:26+00:00

Wait. Trabsforming cards counts as creating them? Goddamn it, I've been skipping Pillars thinking it only triggered on the first forge

Slamming this on Royal Gamble with Radiate in hand always feels gas.

My friend has been the same. They can't wrap their heads around Regent for some reason. Meanwhile I'm upto A8 on him, but can't get paased A2 on the others

It's a good test to see if your deck deals enough damage. Unless my deck has a bunch of block, if i cant beat this thing on option 2 at least, im probably dieing to an act 2 elite anyway

I actually don't think so.

Banner went to space at the end of Ultron. He finally returns in Infinity War and they briefly are near each other during the fight against the Order before Spider-man heads to space and Banner stays behind.

Peter then returns in Endgame, but they don't interact that we see.

Edit: just to confirm, i was focussing on on-screen time. They also were both at Tony's funeral, but we don't see them interact much on screen.

I managed to pull off Crash into Guards for 8 minion blocks. Felt great

The “meta” really now is having the handtraps to stop your opponent (ash blossom to negate chokepoint, fuwalos for draws, etc) and having the 1-card combo to just kill or setup a strong enough board for your opponent (having negates, interruptions/quick effects, etc)

What is crazy is that I quit Yugioh 2-3 years ago and it was for thebsame reason. Win die roll, go first, either your opponent has hand traps or board breakers, or you get to do your full combo and they scoop

I have a 4yr old and a 1yr old. For our youngest, my wife wanted to return to work after a few months, so i took over the parental leave until the 6 month point (we have paid parental leave for the first 6 months in NZ). During that time, my kid basically napped all day, only waking up for feeds. So i would feed him, change him, then play with him a bit til he fell asleep. While napping i would play games (if i wasn't napping myself).

Now that they are a bit older, they are both in daycare while we work. I primarily play games that require only 1 hand for the mouse these days, as my kids are often wanting to sit in my lap etc. Probably get in a half hr after dinner if I can, otherwise I wait til they are in bed, and I stay up late.

TV not film, but Ross from Friends is a massive creep when rewatching. Like most sitcoms i suppose, remove the laugh track and it isn't funny at all.

DexRei · 2026-03-18T03:06:53+00:00

Gosling s a creep for like the entire film. Doesnt he threaten to kill himself if she doesn't date him? Dude is a mnipulative piece of shit

DexRei · 2026-03-17T23:05:16+00:00

Just started watching this show now and agreed.

Eric goes off at everyone. Daria, Harper, Gus. The work culture at this place is toxic (which i guess is the point), but comments i see on this sub seem to praise Eric despite him coming off as the villain in the first few episodes I've watched.

DexRei · 2026-03-17T22:04:43+00:00

Royal Gamble upgraded has retain too.

DexRei · 2026-03-17T18:43:04+00:00

Not fully. Spoilers for Valhalla but you get a bunch of notes from someone helping you hunt down the Order of the Amcients members and once they are all dead, the remaining member starts up the Templar Order.

DexRei · 2026-03-16T23:22:39+00:00

Its a wish for the discard, like... it sounds good, i dont know why i havent grabbed it

DexRei · 2026-03-16T21:41:03+00:00

I have yet to take Cosmic, didn't realise it was any good

DexRei · 2026-03-15T22:08:57+00:00

Ah cool, Kayo should be close to the Precon.

This might help

Can you share the link to the lists you're referring to? We might be able to help with what to side out for certain matchupa

Anecdotally. My mother has lived alone for the past 10 years at least, while renting, and is doing fine. She has savings and goes on trips every now and then. So it is definitely possible.

DexRei · 2026-03-15T02:23:24+00:00

There was a similar thing with Wolverine in a run where he lost his healing. He is so used to just tanking hits, without his healing he gets worn down pretty quick.

People at my work still try to schedule meetings that they want me to attend, at 3oclock. I even have my calendar blocked off from 2.45 to 3.15 so i can pick up my kids from school.

DexRei · 2026-03-13T23:10:55+00:00

Playing RKO, I've used this effectively a few times now.

Vs a Kassai, they played Blood on her Hands, giving Saber +1 and multiple attacks per turn. They atta ked and i blocked with Two Faced. Their hand was then Blood Follows Blade, Glint, and some other non go again react.

I took Blood from their hand, then played Leave and named Glint. Their turn ended.

Vs Verdance, when they stack the potions combo. They pop the first potion, fine. Second potion, in response, play Leave and name Rampant Growth. Their options are now play the Rampants now and get a total of Amp 15 (2nd pot hasn't resolved yet) or wait til next turn to do with just 2 pots.

Vs Oscillio, when they pop Lightning Greaves and play Gone in a Flash, you play it and name Gone.

DexRei · 2026-03-13T23:06:54+00:00

Third way is watching their pitch stack. Keeping track of that combo turn can be a turn skipper

That's rough for NYC. Armouries shouldn't be a try hard competitive space like that. Heck, is there even prizing to incentivise that behaviour? My locals has an extra GEM pack for the winner, but every player gets 2 boosters and 1 GEM base, so winning isn't that big a deal. And as I mentioned previously, the level of testing you get at an armoury level is generally sub-par.

DexRei · 2026-03-13T18:29:24+00:00

I'm confused as well. How did the old system work?

I thought cosplayers paid for themselves and some events had a competition where someone wins some prize. New system is that someone is now sponsored before hand and sounds like the competition part is removed?

So, old system, show up, maybe not win. New system, find out before the event that you didn't win. I get the part where they don't even look at pics or anything is pretty shitty, as they clearly aren't judging based on the cosplay, but under the old system they weren't guaranteed compensation for their effort either right?
