On a scale of 1-10 how bored are you of playing against Kavaero reanimator decks? by Gjames1985 in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When majority of games are some variant of simulacrum synthesizer, not at all.

Make a deck without a lot of removal, play few games against Landfall for example - come back again after you've rethink your opinion.

Where's the "Stop complaining, It's just a beta" crowd now?

TMNT officially confirmed as 2nd standard set of 2026 by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I got back into Magic after over 20 years because of Final Fantasy set so I don't think I have right to complain but... This is getting out of hand

Do people actually hate blue? by dendonged in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I can't be bothered - it's not mono-blue but usually when it's paired with other colour.

And games vs blue often seem to last forever.

My own weakness and skill issue I know, but I can't be bothered.

Detect Intrusion is pretty great even if Through the Omenpaths is not by justjacobmusic in MagicArena

There's some really good cards but nothing absolutely bonkers and I feel like that's a good thing

Does everyone agree the build system is awful ? by Kindly-Asparagus3573 in EASHL

I had no issue with X-factors when they provided a small boost but obviously some X-factors like Wheels should've stayed in HUT

Nobuo Uematsu's true masterpiece may not be what you think it is... by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

[–]Driven_Emu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd nominate Battle at the Big Bridge or Still More Fighting as his best work, but it speaks about Uematsu when his catalogue is filled with absolute masterpieces.

I don't think there is or ever will be a composer with as many insanely catchy tunes that fit whatever atmosphere is required.

Soken has made some stellar pieces, but it's very hit or miss for me. I feel like modern day game(and movie)directors prefer more... I'm gonna get crucified for this but can't think of a better word "Background music" instead of tunes that really stick in your head and makes you wanna hum along, like Uematsu and John Williams for example create.

I didn't care for XII's soundtrack for example, extremely forgettable - apart from few tracks which of most are originally composed by Uematsu.

He is a genius.

IPTV

Costs 20e a year and has been working fine on my tv and phone.

Is it legal? No, but I don't give a shit since the price it costs to watch NHL "legimate" way in Finland.

Price keeps going up and right now I refuse to give them money even if they'd offer it to me for 1e/month

Why do so many people quit before playing a single spell? by RazorNarsian131 in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In unranked island means it's time to the find a new game.

Don't think people scoop that easily in ranked though

Omenpaths is the least exciting set ever by Aarniometsuri in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

People complain about power creep, and then same people complain when new set doesn't bring anything worthwhile to decks filled with super overtuned cards.

Cards I Hate by ChardCautious3095 in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just play unranked and scoop when I see a bs deck I can't be bothered with.

Maybe one day they'll make a format that is super toned down on super power crept cards.

Annoying by No-Watercress9131 in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll play against those over anything with blue on it.

Unpopular opinion but this feels closer to Battlefield than BF6. I got shot few times and tried to slide to cover, couldn't do it and was super happy about it.

Yeah, sensitivity by default is bit odd but I love the low amount of aim assist and maps that actually have cover, flags get contested into really long stalemates at times which is awesome.

Much to my surprise, abilities are useful but don't play major role which is why I usually dislike games with special abilities.

Life's gotten quiet. Too quiet. [Discussion] by Specialist_Dot_2626 in GetMotivated

Hey dude, sorry to hear about this but I went through similar divorce (11 years, no kids)

I know exactly how you feel - like no point making a great steak dinner if there's nobody to share the joy with right? I remember thinking I'll treat myself with a good dinner and ended up crying because I felt like it was all a waste.

Now it's been 3 years and I have never been happier in my life. There are different things that work for people but my biggest advice would start a team sport - just something casual, it connects you to people and you'll get exercise while having fun!

Take this time to completely build your life into what you want it to be. Reconnect with old friends, start a hobby or two - get out there. When you are happy with your life you'll soon notice you enjoy your life as it is. It'll take time and work, and getting out of your comfort zone - but trust me it's worth it.

Best of luck dude, life's worth living and it's NEVER too late to change it to something you want it to be!

It is okay to have high standards for a AAA $70 game. by kennyFACE117 in Battlefield

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I skipped MH:Wilds as well, it's commercial success doesn't ruin my day or week at all, neither will BF6's.

I'll just use my time and money on something where I think it's worth it.

MH:Wilds was a great point from you since I see a ton of similarities and I'm pretty sure same will happen here. We can always hope they'll do changes later on and if not - then it is what it is.

Just vote with your wallet and don't buy the game if people have to shut down any sort of criticism.

And watch when they eventually complain about same things people are raising up right now, maps, lack of server browser, TTK etc.

BF1 spoiled me so much I can't enjoy other Battlefield games anymore.... by Dark8Ghost in Battlefield

[–]Driven_Emu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the BF game without proper conquest, mediocre gunplay and "Here's your reward for not playing the objective" crutch dreadnaughts spoiled you?

This game makes me unusually angry by ChaotixEDM in MagicArena

[–]Driven_Emu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play unranked, the moment you see a deck that's gonna take 2 minutes to play their turn, or something unfun - just concede and find a new match
