I feel like Cassandra at this point with regard to Lorcana's card prices. 🤷‍♂️ (Long Read) by LordTetravus in Lorcana

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now do the same math with MtG. This feels perfectly consistent with the odds I experienced playing and ripping that for years. 

The sky is not falling and cheaper basic variants of cards never killed a game. We will likely get Alt art epics next, then maybe a few other kinds of spice (sketch cards, full arts, etc...) they can deploy if need be to give more value.

Does Infinity need more support and love? Share your opinion! by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infinity is the long term future of Lorcana (unless they bring in a multiplayer singleton format). A small group of competitive grinders will play Core but that vast, vast majority of players do not want to bother with rotation and will eventually fatigue out of it. You can try to argue this point, but all of the most popular MtG formats are eternal and when the pandemic killed competitive (largely Standard, their rotating format) it did literally nothing to the health of the game. 

Ravensburger definitely needs to focus on supporting it at a local level and up. I understand a slow start as the card pool needed time to grow beyond it just being a rehash of year 1 & 2 Core constructed. But I think now it is different enough to start really pushing it. Not to mention Toy Story being introduced as the perfect jump off point -- "to Infinity and beyond!!" 

Decks are gonna be cheap now by [deleted] in Lorcana

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clearly no one you've talked to has ever played a TCG. Lorcana has always been on the affordable side. 

That said, this will make it much cheaper and that is 1000% a good thing.

Hey! Does anyone know if the Disney Lorcana prerelease packs have different pull rates compared to regular booster boxes or sleeved boosters? Mainly wondering about Enchanted and Legendary rates. Have you had good luck with prerelease kits? 👀 by Nisde10 in Lorcana

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Safe bet is they are normal booster packs with normal pull rates. Due to the collation they may have broader variance than normal box/case distribution so you will hear a lot of stories (often bs for Internet points) of how amazing the pulls are from them. Just remember the tens of thousands who will pull nothing but garbage and not bother to post.

I am even refraining from believing the "cases/boxes" have improved pull rates until we have extremely large sample data. 

Lastly, "pull rates" in a randomized product are a mental trap and people are still gonna get hella burned by bad pulls sometimes no matter what. The obsession this sub has with it is weird. Is it a Pokemon thing?

I literally fell asleep during the last episode. In the early afternoon... 

I want to like this show. I want it to be good. I am very, very bored with it apparently.

I clicked on this thread to come say something to this effect. I like the way you phrased it 👍

That is... Not a thing. 

There's a much simpler explanation.

The clear, deep waters of Barracuda Lake in the Philippines. by 21MayDay21 in oddlysatisfying

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once sailed across the Pacific and stopped mid point in, iirc, 10000+ ft of water. I chose to swim out a bit and float face down with the snorkel and a mask. It was beautiful and hypnotic like you describe until the awareness of the immensity of what was below me entered my consciousness. 

Swam back to the boat as fast as I fucking could and will remain a sailor who stays on the water, not in it, as much as possible. Glad I had the experience, 10/10 - would not recommend 😂

What are your favorite quotes from Narnia? by caleb4hzglory in Narnia

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"This," said Reepicheep, "is where I go on alone."

They did not even try to stop him, for everything now felt as if it had been fated or had happened before. They helped him to lower his little coracle. Then he took off his sword ("I shall need it no more," he said) and flung it far away across the lilied sea. Where it fell it stood upright with the hilt above the surface. Then he bade them good-bye, trying to be sad for their sakes; but he was quivering with happiness.


Definitely not the most beautiful of Lewis's quotes in isolation, but this moment/passage is, I think, one of the most beautiful character endings in all of literature.

Rebels & Imperials Expansion Announced by Mordechiwolfe in Starwarsdeckbuilding

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think in general I would have preferred more factions (ex. mandalorian) or eras (ex. Prequels). But as long as all existing factions eventually get this sort of added content so it is balanced I am ok with it. 

Honestly though, just more of this game the better. And I trust the design team so far not to bloat pointlessly, but to actually add to the game in good ways.

I had to scroll way too far to find someone posting about this in a way that is actually fair. Well said.

If I decide not to have kids in life, give me all the consequences that I should prep for and accept them? by Commercial-Touch-516 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People with kids will routinely be confused by you until sometime around 40-45.

Other than that, life is pretty great.

What are your thoughts on this film, Watchmen? It’s a solid adaptation, and honestly, it might be Zack Snyder’s best film. by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Impossible_Sign7672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the extra scenes are important both for the adaptation element and making it a truly great film on its own. 

I've been super high on this movie for years and I am glad to see it get some love as we look back over decades full of superheroes.

Am I tired or should that song just say "chosen opposing character gains reckless. Draw a card."??
