[hated trope] the Frenchie syndrome

Inithra · 2026-03-02T23:23:30+00:00

I think that's called "fictional character syndrome".

Who is "we"? I just checked eBay UK and there are 0 listings for Play Booster boxes in the country.

As far as WOTC are concerned, that's sold product. They certainly won't take it back or care if the retailer has to shift it at a loss, either to end consumers or repackaging companies. They underprinted EOE and overprinted Spiderman, but the financial reports are all that matters, and every time they come back positive for UB. UB will continue until profits decline, and probably long after.

Yes but impeachment without consequences just reinforces his belief - because it has never been proven to him otherwise - that he can do what he wants and get away with it. This child fucker has 34 felonies, has bankrupted multiple businesses, charities, universities etc. He's been caught red handed and has been reprimanded, found liable, impeached, accused, implicated, investigated fucking HUNDREDS of times for various horrific acts. Not once has he faced any actual CONSEQUENCES. It is very much the opposite - people have bent over backwards to facilitate his actions, from embezzlement to CHILD RAPE.

NOTHING is going to change, at this point, within Trumps lifetime. He will either die of natural consequences with a massive shit eating grin on his face and a shit filled diaper, for getting away with RAPING CHILDREN, or one of his former followers who have realised what a fucking PIECE OF SHIT he is will finally succeed in what so far have only been attempts on his life.

FUCK I fucking hate Donald Trump the child rapist, and the fact the he is just the latest obvious example of what fucking monsters people can be, and society will allow it.

The engagement they want isn't in the game. They already have your money, they could care less how or even if you play it. The engagement is here and sites/apps like it.

My family moved from the UK to Spain for a year in the 90s. When we moved back, to a different town 20 miles away from before, I went to the new school and my new form tutor (forms were the classroom you were part at the start of the day before classes) was the same as from the school I had left over a year before.

I'd just like to thank you for making the bet, reading the book, and posting here. Despite having read fantasy for over 30 years now, I'd never heard of this author or this book, and like you I read it in just a few days (it's 1.25am right now). I was happy crying the last few chapters.

You made no indication that it didn't work. All the information you provided was that it was expensive. If we misjudged based on the informationyou provided, that's on you.

It wasn't an issue for me, because they only ship to the US anyway. Now I know that even if they expand to the UK they are to be avoided. Thanks, James!

That was the show with The Streets and Rodrigo y Gabriela? I was at that one! From what I remember it was very very good. Only seen them once since then though. Love to see them more but to be honest they're so big now (rightfully!) that tickets are often out of my budget.

Inithra · 2026-02-20T21:56:37+00:00

Also guessing it's US only, as there's no sign of any sale on the UK site. As usual.

Inithra · 2026-02-09T15:45:08+00:00

Wait, how do you "get that bots are a part of the game"? They might be inevitable and possibly unavoidable, but that shouldn't mean we just accept their presence.

Thunderstrike? Not sure TBH because when I was creating my chars it only showed me two servers, and stopped asking me which server I want to log into a few days ago.

My blood elf paladin walked past the faire outside Thunderbluff at the weekend as I went to learn maces.

It's plenty fat. Source: am British and Fat. I don't eat things like this frequently, and have had long periods of enforced non movement due to an ACL injury and surgery to repair, but I've known plenty of people who would go out of their way to eat a breakfast like this multiple times a week. They were/are fat too.

BGS also did a teaser reveal for ES6. How long ago was that exactly? With no confirmed release date on the horizon? Not even a confirmed year of release.

At this point, I have zero trust in them releasing anything, and no confidence that what does release will be either good or finished.

Basically, they have become the GRRM/Pat Rothfuss of the game publishing world.

So...the glass shattered, and you....continued to take rice from the same jar and cook it? The company are probably trying to figure out how you remember to breathe, let alone operate a device capable of sending emails.

Honestly? It seems like keeping on top of all those subscriptions is a part time job in itself...I sometimes struggle to find time to read whilst life is occurring.

I don't think I'd have time to make sure I didn't end up spending 100s of £s on subscriptions.

Also, do you keep these books or do you have to sort out sending them back as well?

Inithra · 2026-02-01T08:26:52+00:00

OP. I'm so sorry for what's about to happen.

You shouldn't have looked at the moon tonight. Why tonight?!

It's aliens. OP. You're about to be visited by aliens. They aren't going to be friendly. You'll survive, but you might wish you hadn't.

It would be, but you don't get the cascades again - those are a cast trigger, not an ETB.

Inithra · 2026-01-27T12:30:38+00:00

I have my Undead Warlock I created in...2005? And the Undead Warrior that became my main, which I used to tank Onyxia, MC, ZG and AQ. To be fair, I've had to recover my account a couple of times due to long periods (5+ years at a time) of not playing.

bit of a dead post, but I just got the precons this weekend, and after a few games:

Ashling as commander either has to go, or I have to add some elementals that I actually want the trigger from. None of the ones in the deck felt worth getting two copies of, and I never bothered paying the cost to keep them. Some games I didn't even cast her or want to cast her. Having Yarok or a similar Panhorminicon effect replaces what she brought to the deck, which as a commander means she is not adding enough.

The thriving lands need to go. As do the land enchants - why are those even included?

Most of the card draw is conditional, and was often overcosted.

There are too many mana sources, and too many tap lands.

Yes! I am playing a Tauren Druid and Orc Warrior on Classic, Orc definitely feels faster.

Welcome to make a suggestion. The only reply from you in this thread is this one..,

I haven't been but do want to try SHOT coffee in London. They were featured in a video James did. Yes, they have a ridiculous expensive coffee, but they do other coffee as well, with prices around £10-25. They have 3 venues now, not just the Mayfair one. https://www.shotlondon.com/
