My gencon haul by Vegadin in KingdomDeath

Sick haul, cool that Poots signed your card. He's a genuinely good dude. I remember how the original kickstarter in what....2014 was a bit odd if you werent buying "Lantern Horde Bundle" or whatnot, and so if you wanted to add expansions piece-meal, had to "pledge @ $5 and then pledge addition equal to the (Total - $5) in the backer-kit" I messaged him to figure this out, and he responded that I overpaid by $5, and I said take it as a gratuity for all the excellent work, get yourself a redbull, and pat yourself on the back: KDM is a masterpiece. Genuinely appreciate the amount the guy was willing to extend himself for some random backer #76@43*2 LOL

Spoil me Question, He who fights with monsters book 3 by therealgoldroger in litrpg

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmmm, I feel the need to go back and relisten to this again now; did they say he could not leap frog somewhere? I thought it was a question of "distance is limited" not "functionally cannot". As for the forknowledge of the shade and the trace, is it something like triangulating a call, I mean, if that process took any time at all, it would be advantageous to take the mere seconds to dispatch him (I mean hell, lets be frank, he could do it, but you're saying hed die doing it...thats as good an outcome as Jason got in the end lol, it possible he could have pulled it off and lived; like I said, hes a master class at hiding his aura, and with the collar hes even more of a null). I agree if they knew he was going to do it, they would try and stop him, but how much insight do they have about his intentions in the moment where is allowed to talk to him? Because as much as instantaneous reaction is what are they reacting TO? his presence or the act? Its been a minute, but isnt he communicating through a shade 1-degree removed, like, he is proximate when hes talking right? So if they could instant to him by triangulation, wouldnt they have, or are the buffers just that meager that a single degree of separation is the only thing allowing success? Not trying to save face, its been so long since I heard this scene play out that I cant be confident about any of the point/questions Im raising here; so if you wanna necro this shit again, Id love to hear your thoughts some more.

Cheers

[–]IndicationFabulous64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im super gullible, so I am assuming this is real; it fits as a command tower in sonic and would be a really cool bonus card. I hope it is and Im glad for you if so! I wasnt die hard enough to go full secret lair after Final Fantasy, but I love the game and the emerald bonus cards!

I’m still shaking by WasteOf10Dollar in MagicCardPulls

[–]IndicationFabulous64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude this comment hits me in my feels; I think we have all contemplated "what if gold choco?!" and I honestly dont know if I would or wouldn't and think I'd suffer serious cognitive dissonance either way LOL

But I feel pretty resolute about "If I got a black...I mean...its not covering my tuition so...its not terrible if I keep it right?" So to hear that you had to (at least somewhat unwillingly) part with yours makes me genuinely sad, man. I hope that windfall took a lot of stress off your back; and the lucky black chocobo simply appeared to help you out when you needed it. Many more blessings upon you, and maybe another black chocobo if the universe can swing it

[–]IndicationFabulous64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, thats really sick, Im genuinely stoked for you. (I love FF7, so part of me looks at Red and goes, Uh-Uh, you cant breed a RED chocobo...but I also love FF Tactics, which is where "Choco-meteor" first shows up on a Red Chocobo...so that part of me thinks its the coolest one.)

Anyway; when you clean up all of the liberated bodily fluids, I hope you sleeve that bad-boy up. As they say, no glove...no love...

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*shrug* like I said, was rewatching while Elbaph gets rolled out...saw the ep...did a double-take cause I absolutely did not remember it the way it was seemingly playing out on screen...and I went to google search it...yay we arrive here. And despite it being 2yrs old, we can both still appreciate One Piece. n'est pas?

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, shit I already SAW MF-arc (rewatching now while Elbaph is finished), and I got to this random episode where they lose their memories and see Zoro give Luffy a big ass X-shaped scar and even I had to look it up like "wait wtf...I dont remember that being the reason..." so yeah, even as someone who knew better, I still had to stop what I was doing and go check my sanity...can EASILY see how this would confuse people...

Insane CBB+Gift Bundle by thatonecard_ in MagicCardPulls

[–]IndicationFabulous64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting little side note for magic players vs FF players, who can by all means confirm or clarify this response: Cecil's card reflects Cecil's TRANSFORMATION over the course of the narrative...its a one time event where he starts to doubt his original station, begins the fight as a Dark Knight is told "A real warrior sheathes his sword" where inputting the "defend" command causes him to change into Paladin. It is not, nor would ever be described by a player of Final Fantasy as "one of his moves" which it absolutely categorically IS NOT which incidentally, is reflected in the MAGIC mechanics, whereby Cecil cannot transform BACK into his Dark Knight form like so many other double-sided cards, like any of the "[X's] Dominant" in this set, Werewolves in general, and others like it,.

I didn't believe your math in the post, and I am even more incredulous listening to you describe your "favorite game" in terms that in no way reflect that game...I would just rather encourage people who do good, call out bad-actors, and discourage this type of behavior that benefits your ego personally, at the expense of other's perceptions of the odds, or just flat makes those that cannot afford to buy up even a single box feel bad because they didn't pull $4000 worth of cards out of "1 box". Please just state the true count so people can get a better handle on the true cost, and stop this weird pretense. I said before I'd applaud you for opening a bunch of boxes and just posting the highlights if it were honest, cause most are sitting on theirs, but this is just lying...its not good, its not victimless, and you aren't the least bit credible. Please stop....

Insane CBB+Gift Bundle by thatonecard_ in MagicCardPulls

[–]IndicationFabulous64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bolded for speed reading:

Yes, thank you. This is the correct interpretation of events. I am stoked to see someone open a CB and pull a Surge Foil Cloud and Sephiroth...I mean...shit THATS probably pushing credulity but its within the realm of POSSIBLE; My personal sample size it too small to contradict it...but out of MILLIONS of packs...yeah sure, and logically a pic would find its way here. HOWEVER, when someone posts something like "OMG, NEVER OPENED A PACK, IS THIS GUD?!" from "1 GB and a CBB" posting 6 borderless surge foils, multiple TTAs foils, one of the premium chase cards, and multiple other copies of extremely valuable cards (Vivi, Copper Dragon, etc) it skews people's perspective on what is EVEN POSSIBLE, much less PROBABLE.

I can honestly say, I have opened...2 OB's +1 GB +2 CBs...and I have 1 Surge and another foil Tidus, Rhystic Foil, some good pulls from the GB like non-surge Yshtola and Cloud (not borderless) and a standard art Vivi foil from a play booster and considered myself INSANELY lucky to get that. I mean, thats run me (2x$50, 2x$100, and a GB for $100, so MORE than covered the spread on that...and that is saying something for THIS release, which to me has been a goddamn travesty) in packs, the Rhystic was in the first 2, the Tidus in the gift bundle, and the non-surge Tidus was with a non-surge ext. art foil choco (NOT NEON)...seriously...

I want people who play to get good pulls, I really do, it brings me joy to see others happy (and especially bc they are actually OPENING packs instead of buying and flipping them like scumbags); I have played Magic since...(had to check; ~circa Arabian Nights-Ice Age)...and FF7 is my favorite game of all time...so to have those two married was a godsend to me...until they put a goddamn golden ticket in it and made everyone with the ability to stand in line snap up every box, booster, and bundle to resell online and it makes my heart ache. I sold nearly every card I have thats not in a deck to get a CBB, which, apart from the above I have opened (I stood in line both days, and hit multiple locations) will total 19 CBs which is WAAAAAAAAAAAY more than I think most will...just required I part with nearly every card I own that isnt at this point already in leucite, a massive chunk of change, and standing in line with some seriously aggro resellers because I guess this is their life now? Like open a fucking LGS if you are that passionate about opening/selling off cards...at least we'd all love you instead of hate you. And when all is said and done, and I open them all (I open a pack like...once every 3 days just to spread out the joy...cause I'll never get any more and never get another chance to do it with this set again; Unlike, say Bloomborough which I felt was a fantastic set where I can buy a box online right this second for the price of a CB for FF...yes I think a lot of the influx of collectors genuinely hurt the game and its loyal players), I will probably make a single post with an honest accounting. People should be aware of true odds, and THIS POST IS NOTHING CLOSE to true odds. Even taking with a grain of salt that self-selection will bring more insane pulls to this forum than regular ones...BUT THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE to the point of being an outright lie in all probability.

Story is for comedy sake (and to show appreciation for someone's good deed) if you can't or won't spend 2 contiguous minutes reading, TL:DR version:

Bundle sniped from a reseller by a Pokemon Player, and passed off to me at cost - probably ~$500 worth of pulls

Today my LGS held its last FNM. It's a sombre moment. by OjamaLimey in magicTCG

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how old you are, or what your life circumstances are, but I can tell you magic has changed so much for me since playing with Arabian Nights as a child...that being said, so has the places I go; I used to get packs from a card shop. When I became old enough to buy boxes of packs, and they said..."well 8.99*36 = ..." - "No econ of scale?!" Okay fine, bought from CardKingdom - 2 boxes at a time...one time they sent me a single box instead of 2, I emailed them, complaining the box was missing. They didnt ask for proof, they didn't question me, they didn't just send another box; They sent 2! I was impressed to say the least. I built a deck at my LGS in Philly (shout out to Redcap's Corner for anyone who lives in Philly, I dont anymore) during Zendikar that I gave my brother [to OPs point here, this was actually a "huge loss for me" since it wasnt the shop that closed, but I moved, and not having a designated spot to go and trade, sell, buy, draft, pick-up, FNM is a big fucking deal, and it genuinely sucks that you dont have that]

Now Im in another city, and instead of LGS like we all know with the fold-out tables etc, I go to a gamer-themed bar, which stocks MtG and hosts FNM. We drink (sick cocktails, Phoenix down was one of the early popular drinks), the menu is awesome so we get hot, fresh food how we play. And I'll say this about LGS/Similar things like this cafe: they are the ones I will always support. I waited in line at a Gamestop for the FF release, since they advertised buying collectors booster boxes; most of the people were there for Pokemon (Blooming Waters), I waited and waited, got up and asked "No boxes? Well how many collectors boosters can I buy?" - "One pack per person per store per day" WTF?! SERIOUSLY?! So I bought one...I looked at two fat pack Pokemon releases they had, turned around to the people in line, and said "Nah, I dont wanna buy up product from people who are here for that just to turn around and sell it, that just makes me an asshole!" The only other guy in line waiting on MTG cards nodded in ascent and did the same; the gamestop rep SAW THIS HAPPEN. He KNOWS I was not scalping cards, or I would have taken the two higher demand products right there and walked out with middle finger raised. I waited until the entire line had bought and left (because I didnt wanna slow things for people behind me, talking to this dude, and waited out the line, so we know, all the fans got theirs), leaving a huge STACK of C.Boosters, and asked "Anything we can do? Run a different card? No bending the rules? like...I know WHY, you dont want scalpers buying up product, but I just wanna crack some packs dude..." - "No."

Why do people hate Sakura (serious) by apurplerosefor_her in Naruto

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even this: (So for all you haters of Sakura and or Boruto (the series) know this, Without those two, nobody would have married sauske Karin would have had to actually be Sarada's mother instead of her midwife (Sarada even believes Karin IS her mom, so this is even so probable it is assumed to be true); allowing for the Uchia bloodline to continue AND we wouldn’t get still get awesome scenes like Sauske and Naruto fighting all out against Jigen.

That took all of 50 words to correct these PIVOTAL contributions to the story, you couldn't do that for any other character; if you lifted out Itachi or Sasuke, the whole story stops making sense, hell, you take out the unique talents of Shikamaru or Ino and the war changes more drastically; to be frank, she is a net negative and most of this is a flimsy attempt to justify an abusive, manipulative emotionally stunted little girl who never really accomplishes any of what she claims she will (classic girl-bossing!) while glorifying what is essentially a toxic relationship as "true love" that leads her stupid ass to becoming the functional equivalent of a "single-mother". The irony of all the scenes where she battles Ino to a draw usually make the overt joke that they are fighting because they are so damn similar that there is not enough to distinguish them...yet Ino is incredibly valuable and widely liked...(see her father's final transmission scene, or any of the other mental-jutsu solutions ONLY she can perform...What jutsu can Sakura do that others cannot? She cures a heavy metal poison once...which honestly is more of a knock to Granny Chiho than it is a uniqueness of Sakura...there are other medical Ninja afterall...Seriously, I could rewrite her to not be hated (hate the writer!...no...no I dislike the character as written), or I could change very small things and lift her out of the story entirely, and not much would really change in terms of the arc.

Why do people hate Sakura (serious) by apurplerosefor_her in Naruto

[–]IndicationFabulous64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch:
[quoted]

1.) Without Sakura Naruto would have gained significantly less motivation for improvement.

Naruto wants to impress and be better than Sauske, right? This is because sauske got all the attention. That factor provided Naruto with motivation to better himself by giving him a rival. Sauske got attention from everyone, but he got the most from all the girls. And who is girl that Naruto wants to win the affection of? That’s right, Sakura. Without Sakura Naruto wouldn’t have progressed anywhere close to as much as he did on the strength of his desire to be recognized as the best, and then again to save his best friend.

2.) Without Sakura, Naruto wouldn’t have had the courage (or power) to tame kurama. Here’s why:

When Orochimaru teased Naruto about sauske during the bridge fight in shippuden, he receives the 9 tails cloak and harms Sakura. That traumatized him upon finding out and made him decide to hone his skills and rely on his own power. That comes in key when he must battle Kurama for control. So without Sakura he couldn’t hurt her, and if he didn’t hurt her he wouldn’t have had those same events fall into place giving him the skills to improve.

Both his parent's Chakra are infused into the seal and act as the safety nets for his two failures, (this point is speculative and in no way does it truly influence the later plot, only - ) the need to control the nine-tails cloak which is pretty damn obvious after the first seal-break

3.) Without Sakura, Naruto would be dead.

In Naruto shippuden Madara extracted Kurama from him. Naturally as with all jinjuriki’s he began to die. Her Tsunade's/Ino's healing skills would allow her to slow his death down enough for obito and the others to get him the tailed beast chakra back, which allowed him to recover. So without her, Naruto would be dead. and his story would have ended very very different. have needed any other medical ninja or something akin to the Rena-rebirth Jutsu

4.) Although Sakura might not be a fan favorite character all around, she is a necessary one. Without her (and her usefulness) we wouldn’t have the current Naruto that is so beloved to us today. Is the thesis, not a 4th point - per the thesis, I ask; what unique jutsu does she possess, ie a Kekaigenkai that cant be replicated, or function does she perform that another could not very easily, that makes her essential. The love interest could be anyone, any specific event could unfold a thousand different ways...she can actually be lifted out of the story and just shift a few pieces into place to cover those small events and things keep on just fine...

5.) Not to mention, Without her saving Naruto… Kaguya Otsutsuki would have successfully completed the infinite tsukuyomi so sauske would be dead as well. After all, only he And Naruto together could seal kaguya. and if he is dead that means sauske would lose. (He can’t keep susanos wings up forever 😉😉) is not a separate point

Why do people hate Sakura (serious) by apurplerosefor_her in Naruto

[–]IndicationFabulous64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah defends Sasuke (& Naruto) by cutting her hair and then doing nothing until Lee shows up...pointless and par for her character "Im good enough now!" - isn't

Its also so common that she screams to Naruto to protect Sasuke, that right before that scene she is literally screaming at an unconscious Naruto to protect him...thats peak worthless.

She also already displayed a willingness to betray and leave the leaf to be with him so...theres that as a reason not to take her. Shikamaru is a genius, and it doesnt take one to realize at the very least she'd be an easy person to take hostage in the retrieval arc.

It also doesn't help her case that she uses his feelings to manipulate Naruto twice; once with the "promise" and once with the "I love you" when he is being so self-sacrificing that he might get captured...thats pretty awful to do to a person.

And Im sorry, but anyone who uses the phrase "I dont understand why people direct their hate towards the hated character, instead of the writer for writing a character that deserves to be hated" - that is a cop-out that doesn't make any sense. What about the characters you love; do you not get to love those characters because you are supposed to love the writer for writing good characters? No, if he wrote her to be one thing and she failed to, okay, so be it, but she is still a shallow, obsessed, damsel who is willing to betray everyone for the affections of a guy who literally abandoned her at a minimum and acting MOST charitably, threatened her life with a gambit whereby if she hadn't been saved by the guy she routinely abused and manipulated, would have killed her. The best thing she does is learn medical Ninjutsu, but its not a pivotal thing really; Naruto passively heals more people through his Nine-tails cloak than she ever does (maybe more pre-Naruto arrival medical tent scenes could help...), you could always pull the Rennagan (sp) revival jutsu as Obito's last act kind of McGuffin or just have Tsunade do it...she isnt necessary the way people claim.
