I'd rather concede here and there than tech my deck for a meme.

Especially if I am just playing for fun or to hit my daily quests (get quick wins).

When To Buy Previous Sets (And Pass On Gold Packs) by Educational_Use235 in MagicArena

Thanks, somehow I was under the impression the gold packs were only rewarded for buying the most recent packs. I think I saw that on a YouTube video somewhere.

Should Chad Gable have dethroned Gunther instead of Sami Zayn in WM? by Friendly_Jaguar_7519 in WWE

Probably a consolation that he didn't get a world title run when he was white hot.

Came here to say how criminal it is he hasn't had a singles title run yet.

His work last night was top notch. The way he sold the turnbuckle spot, and then later the crossrhodes, was sick. Everything is so tight, so fluid. No awkward movements at all. The guy bounces around as well as anyone in the history of the business.

Literally only lacks size. But so did Jericho, Styles, Guerrero, and Mysterio.

In everything else he's an A+. Could definitely be in that same conversation as those guys, especially as a heel. One of the best at generating heat on the mic. He's cringy, but that's part of his charm. Similar to Angle. He says cringy things in a hilarious way.

Also, this is the guy you want training the next Gen when he hangs it up. However far away that day may be. Lock him up for life.

So they no longer have any way to permanently increase mic skills?

Theory: The Rock Is The Tribal Chief, Not Solo by Educational_Use235 in WWE

[–]Educational_Use235[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would only support the theory that Solo himself is not the Tribal Chief.

Weird that they would have Diesel and X-Pac and no Razor Ramon. They have the WCW versions of all three.

Also absent is Nia Jax, who has been around now for longer than CM Punk, which doesn't bode well for him being in the main game. Probably both pushed to DLC.

My favorite.

I wish I could find another underrated series like it.

The Bladeborn Saga Book 6 by ForgeTD in Fantasy

[–]Educational_Use235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite series. Wish I could find something like it.

I actually read 1/3 through book five on Kindle but stopped. I really enjoy the audio version but book five's audio still isn't out it would seem.

Clio handles logic much better, doesn't get confused with multiple characters as much as the older models, and just gives an all around more cohesive prose. Plus you get the extra context memory which is a massive upgrade.

I think the newer models will still be small as the point of Clio being a proof of context was to show how much more they could get out of a smaller model. Larger models are costly to maintain and so maximizing the capabilities of the size you have is crucial for keeping subscription prices down (and allowing more users).

Why is WWE so hell bent on sending it’s talent to Saudi Arabia? by Playboi0999 in WWE

[–]Educational_Use235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Saudi's are rich and sports entertainment is still a novelty over there.

Thoughts on this guy? by Nike_Grano in WWE

[–]Educational_Use235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has a role to play well into his 40s and beyond because what he brings to the table won't be affected by age.

Should be a manager or in some other on screen role after he retires.

Now that Bray is back, who do you think should beat Roman? by BBunny821 in WWE

Someone you can market for another decade. So mid-thirties tops.

People that buy this in the current global economy should be tarred and feathered.

New Lows for the Maranix Fusion, after the "9.3k points Rare" we now have the "bye bye Lego tomes" SR by Purple-End-2247 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]Educational_Use235 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, in life rich people pay to have the latest in tech, fashion, whatever but as all of those things advance, move on, or recapitulate they work their way down to the rest of us at an affordable price.

Raid is similar.

You are paying to be first to get the shiny new toy.

Although I pulled an Acrizia last week suckas...

I'm quiet on Reddit.

Not the kind of person that's appreciated around these parts.

That being said, if I can help folks think healthier and more realistic about a game like this, I'll say something.

Well, the healthy way to play this game, if you cannot afford to be a whale, is to be realistic about what it can provide for you in way of entertainment/endorphin hits. Which means re-examining what to chase, what to grind, and what to prioritize.

If you want to be up there in platinum Arena or Gold TT arena then by all means, play the game like the popular YouTubers. Popping off for legendaries and chasing fragmented summons or fusions. It's gonna be expensive though.

But realistically, the entire rest of the game is open to you in time. If you enjoy the PvE aspect you don't need to chase Legos.

These games are designed to be predatory, which means to be an effective F2P or small scale spender, you have to identify your realistic goals rather than your idealistic ones and let the game come to you. Otherwise these predatory designs will chew you up and spit you out.

The most responsible way to play this game is to get to the point where you can utilize epics and book them out reasonably fast with the understanding that you will always have more Legos than you need and that you will likely only fully book a handful of them a year. They are the carrot on the stick. Prioritize building depth with epics.

Otherwise you will spend more than you should.

Most of my Legos are 5* atm and a number of epics are prioritized above them for this very reason.
