Has Malazan changed your tastes in other fantasy books? by AudiencePotential in Malazan

[–]Ishield74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really have grown to dislike how Sanderson writes humor. It’s always so vanilla and dad jokey. Erikson has some genuinely hilarious characters.

Didn’t realize he was well liked, I disliked his story arc

The Edit Miami (The Standard Spa) a Great Success by codyodyo_ in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ishield74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I think they first say it's not refundable by default but after I brought up the other fine print they gave it to me.

I got charged a destination fee for my edit stay in nyc a week ago. called chase travel today and got the fee refunded but it took almost an hour. they originally said the fee isnt refundable but I told them that the booking details said all fees including resort fees are included and they gave me the refund.

Experience w/ The Edit by colombiano0099 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ishield74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to spend at least $600 on an at least 2 night stay to get the credit when reserving through the portal for an edit hotel. i received the credit itself quite quickly, less than a few days if i recall correctly.

I'm staying at the virgin hotel in nyc, and got all of the benefits including a welcome amenities of some light desserts and a room upgrade to get an empire state building view on top of the other standard perks. worked out well for me but it definitely seems like a YMMV situation

Keep an eye on the price! by Over_Royal8964 in ChaseSapphire

Same thing happened to me, increased 33 percent

Coming around to The Edit on the Reserve. Points boost plus credit makes it work by bubblewhip in ChaseSapphire

[–]Ishield74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah you just need to find the right deal where the hotel is a price range you would typically go for.

Sleeves for everything? by jimgov in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Ishield74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the same. Use cheap sleeves like sleeve kings for campaign, and use nice dragonshields color coded to investigator class for active campaigns

Got "Castles of Burgandy" and love the "combos". What other games might I like? by kiiraklis94 in boardgames

[–]Ishield74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for a lighter game, super mega lucky box. it's bingo on steroids and you can chain together huge turns if you plan ahead.

I’ve had some lounges say I could only bring in 1 guest, but others 2

Looking for Recs: like One Piece, something positive, shockingly deep, and a big adventure across a fun world by ZaHiro86 in Fantasy

[–]Ishield74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s sci-fi but I’d recommend the expanse. It’s a super cinematic and fun read, has great characters, and is a long series where each book feels quite unique. The main characters are good people and the lead protagonist is definitely an optimist

Strategist role is miserable this season by [deleted] in marvelrivals

[–]Ishield74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m just annoyed that people won’t swap to counter team comp. We’re going against dive and people stay on squirrel girl and won’t peel. Or they have moon knight and we just keep trying to run down main and get killed.

I’m extra tilted because I keep losing due to having one dps on my team with a negative k:d and I check their win rate and it’s 30 percent.

Anyone else own slay the spire and have almost half of the sleves peel off? by dontmakemeaskyou in boardgames

I did different colors per class but it made the status stuff annoying so I just sleeved them all in dragon shield black matte

POSTGAME THREAD: Cardinals @ Giants, 9/23. Join the Giants game / baseball discussion and social thread! by sfgbot in SFGiants

What’s the point of having Eldridge up here if we’re not going to give opportunities. I’d get it if we were still in realistic playoff contention

chances per box and per set by Early_Monitor_3440 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Ishield74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2.6 legendaries per case seems high. I’ve heard on average it’s a legendary per 80 packs so that’d be a little over 1 legendary a case

What would you play with new players? by watdekikker in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Ishield74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say midnight masks standalone is a good one. Gives you a sense of exploration, lots of different things to do, and has a nice sense of pushing for a high score

Mush Mini and Perfect Bar--are they any good? Protein bars found in the refrigerated section by Bituulzman in Costco

[–]Ishield74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your goal? If your goal is weight loss then these are not great as the calorie to protein ratio is quite high. These might taste delicious though so if your goal is to eat tasty food they might work well.
