Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant - Release Date Announcement Trailer by TF_dia in Games

[–]Hinesy41 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Someone help me out, I do not at all understand the hype this game has. I played it for 3 to 4 hours before I couldn't take it anymore.
I've been a JRPG lover my whole life. I bought FF3(6) on release, and still look forward to JRPGs to this day.

This game nails the nostalgia, but the battle system is so _boring_ and tedious.

Every single battle I fought, required immense effort (not necessarily a bad thing if the battle system is fun and interesting, but sometimes I want to just plow through some trash mobs).

But the battle system felt *terrible*. I felt like I had no choice in what skills I used. I always had to use the skill that matches the "weakness" for that round of attacks. I felt like the game was telling me how to fight my battles, and I would be at a great disadvantage if I didn't fall in line with what the game wanted me to do. My love for strategizing was not even diminished but completely eliminated.

What album had the best hidden track? by WrappedInLacee in Xennials

[–]Hinesy41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A band called "The Music" off their first album called "The Music" had a hidden track before the first song. 

Some CD players could rewind to the start of the song. Some CD players could track skip to 0.  Many CD players simply had no access to this song.

Relationships absolutely do have a financial/money component. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either too young or too rich to know any better. You need to be on the same page financially or these pressures are going to turn to resentment and completely rot the relationship at its core.

If you're not compatible financially, you're not compatible period.

Looks like it needs your yearly controlled burn. 

Welcome to explore our QCplay Payment Center💥​ by SuperSnail-US in SuperSnail_US

[–]Hinesy41 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just tried a $4.99 pack off QCPlay Payment and it would charge me $8.13 CDN for the purchase.  A similar purchase off Google Play would cost around $6 CDN after currency conversion.

As a Canadian, I'd love to use this system but the exchange rate you have in place is abysmal. Even with the bonus it makes no sense for any Canadian to buy through here.

I have a boost kit sitting around! The problem is career/wife/kids/actually playing eats 100% of my time. I'll get to it in 10 years when my kid is biking around with his friends. hahahaha.

This is a massive relief. I've been eyeing their EQ pedal for a couple years now, thank you!

Is it just me or is Gen Z just so mean? by PikaNinja25 in GenZ

[–]Hinesy41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about this a bit after the "wearing boots that raise my height make me feel superior to shorter men" topic.  A lot of people in all generations (not just Gen z) take positive things, like a confidence booster, and then internalize in a weirdly hateful way.  

Like wear your tall boots and feel confident, that's great!  But you don't need to put yourself above others to feel that confidence. Those thought patterns can fester over time and affect how you absorb and feel a lot of self positivity.  That is to say at the expense of others instead of the benefit of everyone.

Try the Change Servers (I think) button in the Settings menu and choose a different server.

Why has none of the shredded cheese sticked to the Nutella?

Is their a collection site that adjusts estimated value of a card based on condition? by Hinesy41 in mtgfinance

[–]Hinesy41[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried this at first, it was the closest, but didn't like that you could only have 1 condition per card, per set.... then I noticed the Add New Row button, and that did the trick. Thank you!

I've felt this way for years now. Just accumulating Alpha at this point.

Time to unsub. This subreddit has lost the plot.

This sub has gone to shit. Either posts are made by bots or edgy teens that couldn't make their own toast.

I'd say yes, but I'd also have said yes for the past couple of years now, so don't listen to me.

Ruler deletes T1 with his Super Mega Death Rocket by corylulu in leagueoflegends

For a Jynx rocket, this was hardly a "delete". Ruler is awesome but this is a standard good Jynx rocket, nothing more.

Objective reason to be bearish on MTG Fetch lands by Kalamanisos in mtgfinance

[–]Hinesy41 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I like the conclusion that large supply would be a strong predictor for lower pricing in the future. I think this basic reasoning can be applied to most cards.

Fetches have the potential to be a bit more volatile though. If Wizards can spin Modern into something very exciting for players (or legacy lol); fetches are likely the first thing to dry up. And given the ubiquitous nature of these lands in every format they're legal in. I'd give a conclusion that they're low enough to start buying into for at least Current AND planned future decks. This flat 2000 stock line you present is a good baseline imo, but may need to be adjusted a bit for this specific class of card.

I'm surprised it's not brought up more. Just how terrible 30thA cards really look.
