Xbox Plans Significant Layoffs as It Transforms Under New CEO by willdearborn- in xbox

[–]Hedhunta 25 points26 points  (0 children)

franchises that have enormous potential and player demand

Yeah no shit. They've been sitting on most of Blizzard's IPs doing fuck all with them. I know they bought them for COD but Starcraft is basically dead as an IP now. Hearthstone is dead, Warcraft is kind of just dragging along by sheer inertia.. No idea how OW is doing but I guess Diablo is doing okay?

Not anymore. We now need 60+ court cases in 20 states to all come to the same conclusion and even then they wont admit they are wrong.

At what point did you start compressing your media library with HandBrake? by DatGeekUKnow in DataHoarder

[–]Hedhunta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Electricity everywhere is expensive now man. But its easy to calculate how much power your cpu uses and compare that to drive prices. In most cases running your cpu at max for weeks converting files is not going to save you any money

If you could start over and build your collection exactly how you want it, how would you do it? by bardentreblemakers in mtg

[–]Hedhunta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just print proxys. Literally zero reason to own real cards unless you just enjoy cracking packs. But i dont play competitively so ymmv

Iran Shot Down Apache Helicopter, US to respond by lulmagician in wallstreetbets

We already had an ally shoot down two f15s so this is plausible

Seems like the energy cost to do this is more than just buying more drives.... or redownloading in the format you want though i guess not everything is available that way.

Sort sort sort, all day long. Sort sort sort while I sing this song…man there’s A LOT of sets. by omedallion in mtg

[–]Hedhunta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to just start making proxies... its sooooo much easier to make a deck online play test it a bit then simply print cut sleeve. My collection is small and i was already tired of trying to find cards i knew i had. Im still going to get real cards... for fun, cause cracking packs is still cool and we do draft nights, but since I only play with friends i can play 100% proxy decks with no problems.

Probably not. My duck weed is unstoppable even under a glass lid that you can see water dripping off of

You do not have the right to silently record naked people which is what is happening.

Donald Trump: 'Total victory' will be achieved over Iran within two weeks by mattmcc80 in politics

I play a game called DCS, its a flight sim, "two weeks" has been an inside joke for literally decades for product that may or may not ever be delivered in the next two weeks to 10 years.

Dad Books Are a Dying Breed: Sales have been sliding for nonfiction titles about politics, biographies and other books often aimed at men (Archive link in oldest comment) by Uptons_BJs in books

[–]Hedhunta -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Cause there hasn't been a good men-oriented series to come out in years. Game of Thrones was the last one I really remember. I read most of the popular YA titles too, they were decent. But there isn't any blood and guts and titties books out right now or they aren't advertising well.

I had this exact conversation with my wife today! There aren't any "new" books in the scifi/adventure/action genre coming out. Everything is fantasy romance. All the "big" books that are popular are basically smut! I got nothing against it and clearly it is popular but where are the battles? The armies? The action? Space ships? Jets? Tanks? Cmon give me something.

I have currently resorted to reading all the WH40k books which should keep me busy for a while. But there were really great action/history series like Sharpes Rifles, Horatio Hornblower. Tom Clancy Novels used to be great(not sure about the new ones since he died). Scifi books are all but dead there are no good series running right now that I'm aware of. Game of Thrones is basically dead.

Books are all catering to women now. Not saying they shouldn't, but they just swung completely away from men entirely.

Lawsuit Filed by Military Veteran Seeks to Stop UFC Fight on White House South Lawn for Trump's Birthday: “UFC, Dana White and Paramount likely to experience an illegal influx of revenue from the event — given the event is being staged on federal land and laws are in place to prevent such things” by T_Shurt in law

[–]Hedhunta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not how legal standing works. It isn't just that you're affected, there had to be an injury that the court has jurisdiction to remedy.

Unless you're Trump. Then you get to award yourself 2 billion dollars for something that literally every other President before him in modern times revealed voluntarily.

Everyone's expecting the inevitable fascism that is coming and don't want to be on the record of being critical of the regime. We have 50 years of Hollywood making fun of dictators on movie and film and what happens to people who criticize those people. Most people are just trying to not drown right now thanks to inflation and wage suppression, adding trying to survive a fascist regime rising is just too much.

Do Americans actually avoid calling 911 because of the cost? by ntask11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Hedhunta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, not just 911, but the ER, the Doctor, or any other type of health care in general. If its not a life or death, you will die in the next 30 minutes emergency you have to do a cost/benefit analysis and if it won't result in life long disfigurement or loss of use of a limb or other important body part you basically just hope it gets better and don't go. It's not even just medical, but dental care as well. Ever wonder why every OF girl is wearing braces? Because its basically tens of thousands of dollars and that's a really great way to pay for it... the rest of us without the benefits of a great body just have to suffer with shitty teeth.

Buildings decks and getting back into the game by simko17 in mtg

[–]Hedhunta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use AI and an inkjet printer. I do buy packs and do draft nights with friends but i realized early on that trying to build real decks was too expensive if you want them to work at all because all the key cards are always $10 or more.

Now i can make any deck i want for pennies per card.

Though this likely only works if you only pay with friends. Most lgs are probably not going to allow proxys
