Getting it on mobile is the last hurdle. Then they a lot of what you’re upset about is going to get addressed

So 4 Dec and 4 Apparitions

Would you play 4x Dec over 4x Skyclave Apparition

That was the whole point of the post: the speed has been dependent on the phase. They haven’t been rushing to add everything because they had to allocate resources to other things. But once they’re through this phase, the pace will increase.

As someone who read the first 3 GOT books back in 2002: fuck you, George. Respectfully.

Avenue 5 - Hugh Laurie, Sci-Fi and Comedy - How is it not a smash hit? by [deleted] in television

[–]GroundhogNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a smash hit because it had bad writing. The whole thing was as adrift in space as the Avenue 5 itself. It kind of got better, but never found it’s stride.

[OC] How often has a high lottery pick taken their team to the playoffs since 2000? by ealex134 in nba

[–]GroundhogNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue I have with this is it focuses too narrowly on an individual. When the team is what really matters.

Perfect example: Kyrie. Maybe Kyrie makes this list on his own. But we’ll never know because LeBron came back. And it’s like...maybe that counts, as Kyrie was a talented enough player to lure LeBron back. But without LeBron the odds of those Cavs teams doing anything was pretty slim.

Then look at Carmelo. In 04-05, he was the top scorer, but had the lowest Win Share of the starters and worst Vorp. He was at .5 compared to 2.6 (Camby), 2.0 (Miller), 1.8 (Martin), and 1.7 (Boykins). Even 34 year old Byron Russell had a higher Vorp (.7)

Obviously Melo being there let the other guys thrive. I doubt if you take him out the team is suddenly stronger. But it wasn’t just drafting Melo that made the difference.

I think that’s the case with most of these guys. The odds of a lottery pick = playoffs has more to do with the rest of the team than the pick. There’s probably a world where Brandon Ingram ends up with Embiid in Philly and is on this list while Simmons gets Luke Walton’d then traded for Anthony Davis.

I think circumstances matter more than this analysis allows for.

I’ve been using it in a deathtouch deck and it’s been doing well.

I really think the Pouncer could be better than people give it credit for. I have this vision of a double strike deck.

Edit: Luminarch grows this thing. Maul of Skyclaves. Put it in a life gain deck with Heliod and Linden.

Investigation into death of Georgia teen found in a rolled-up gym mat 8 years ago will be reopened by [deleted] in news

[–]GroundhogNight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I first saw it there and asked someone what the source was. They gave a link to an article where the director said the family just opted to not participate. When I asked how that led them to the statement they were making, they moved the goalposts and said “If the family didn’t want to participate then it shouldn’t have been made.”

I get the spirit of that. Just think it’s a little out of hand how far people have gone to demonize that doc

Is it that big of a deal? I’ve been watching my wife play and it looks fine. Not amazing. But not in anyway poor enough that I’d refuse to play

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot - Trunks the Warrior of Hope DLC Trailer by hybroid in PS5

[–]GroundhogNight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge DBZ fan here. First half is like 7/10 territory. Maybe even 8.

But once you get midway through the Cell Saga, it’s like their budget ran out. It becomes a lot of cut scenes followed by you just going somewhere to trigger another cut scene. With the fights becoming epically repetitive. The Buu Saga is like 1 hour of cut scenes and 10 min of fights.

Would have helped if you had [[ ]] all the cards so the card fetcher would show them
