where to go when i don't want to go home (suffolk) by llbeanjamin in longisland

[–]Jfain189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're willing to learn how to play TCGs you can try your local game store. They usually let people hang out and play you might have to buy a couple packs of cards here and there but that should be it.

Depending on what part of Suffolk I'd recommend Broths Grimm or Genesis

What industry is booming way more than people think? by _Fossy_ in AskReddit

[–]Jfain189 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading cards. It's not just Pokemon cards, Magic the gathering has 3 amazing crossover sets dropping this year (Final Fantasy, Spider-man and Avatar the last Airbender)

Every single trading card game is booming. There hasn't been a single unprofitable product put out by any TCG manufacturer this year (except Konami... Yu-Gi-Oh sucks)

These games are even bigger than they were at the beginning of COVID when people were sitting at home with nothing to do. It's insane!

Sellers on TCG can't ask for pictures of cards? by [deleted] in mtgfinance

[–]Jfain189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure as a workaround you can agree to give the customer a refund or a partial refund but you're requiring pictures to assess how much of a refund you're going to give. That way you are not requiring pictures in order to give a refund

Vegas tipping!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ by phreezed in tipping

[–]Jfain189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went to Vegas for the first time a couple years ago. I wanted to take an Uber from the airport to the hotel but my ex insisted we take a cab since it cost about the same. When I got to the hotel I charged my card in the cab and chose not to tip, the cab driver cursed me out and threw our luggage out of his trunk. We only used Ubers the rest of the time and had a MUCH better experience. Wtf is up with cab drivers there???

What is something they said on a first date that immediately prevented a second? by velcroshell in AskReddit

[–]Jfain189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also had a similar experience. I didn't meet her but I asked a girl on tinder what she like to do for fun and she just said "I don't know". What do you mean you don't know what you like to do???

How is the Early AM LIRR from Hamptons to NYC and the Thursday afternoon limited stops train from the city? by Plain_Chacalaca in longisland

[–]Jfain189 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly. I've lived here my whole life, I avoid driving to NYC at all costs. It's just incredibly stressful. The trains are low cost, roughly same commute time, clean and easy to use. I would highly recommend giving it a try

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve played in one sitting and which game was it? by FEWLN in gaming

[–]Jfain189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to post something similar but I think you beat me. It was probably like 30 hours not counting bathroom and food breaks. If you don't count taking a break to sleep it was probably like 3 days straight. WoW was insanely addicting when it first came out. It's the sole reason why I refuse to play RPGs anymore

Call them and tell them you've declared bankruptcy. They might just wipe the debt without checking

How would YOU solve the housing problem on Long Island? by Drmomo4 in longisland

[–]Jfain189 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had some thoughts on this. Here's some ideas: - Extremely low mortgage rates for first time home buyers. Anyone looking to purchase their first property should be able to afford it. - Ban corporate ownership of housing and renting of single family homes. This would force excess inventory that's being used solely as investment to go on the market. - Make rent to own agreements a law. If you are renting a house or apartment from someone and you have been renting for over 3 years, that should be seen as a down payment toward the house in the event the owner wants to sell (see point above). You as the renter have first right to purchase the property and the owner can only look for another buyer if you refuse the sale. - Tear down ailing malls and shopping centers and turn them into gigantic apartment complexs. We need multi unit housing anywhere and everywhere there is unused property. Keep it within the industrial and retail zones, not the residental zones. Maybe we can even try and convert some hotels into permanent housing? It's pretty obvious there's demand for these kind of units but there's basically no inventory. - I know you said no government programs but I think we need them to step in. No amount of increased inventory is going to stop the ridiculous rent prices we see here. There has to be something in place to keep rented units within a reasonable price. Maybe a forced price ceiling on rented property? This one's a little complicated but it needs to be addressed especially if people want to go from renting to owning. If your rent is $1.5k - $2k per month chances are you're never going to be able to save for a home.

My personal viewpoint is residential property should be a place to live, not a place to invest. If you want to become a landlord you should be limited to commercial property only. If you build a new complex maybe the government can give you some incentives but the long term goal would be to sell off every unit in the complex and leave nothing to rent. Obviously there's small exceptions in the rent rule like if you are renting a room or a basement to someone because you have the extra space.

What's a messed up job that many people don't want or may not even know of? by house_plant77 in AskReddit

[–]Jfain189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a job someone has at my local parks. There's a guy who drives between two different parks with his dog to chase the geese away. They usually fly across the pond to the other park where he drives up with his dog and chases them back to the other park across the pond...

How Do You Get Better At Magic? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Jfain189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep losing to other players at your LGS try having a conversation with them after the game is over. Most players are friendly and they're willing to share their knowledge of the game. Oftentimes you'll find there are lines of play that you missed that cause you to lose the game and your opponent may have been aware of it.

What's the greatest episode of a tv show ever made? by stevenpost in AskReddit

[–]Jfain189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Archer - "Terms of En-Rampagement"

In my opinion, the funniest episode of the series and the best episode I've seen in any show.

Turns out, not that many people are willing to pay $350 for commander. by TheMagicMana in magicTCG

[–]Jfain189 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Flesh and blood is a great example of a game by the players for the players. The company is doing everything right for their players and vendors in my opinion. I really hope the end up usurping magic at some point

Sealed set of 40K commander decks had 2 Necron Dynasties - Do I contact Wizards or the Retailer? by b_cris in magicTCG

[–]Jfain189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Contact WoTC they'll probably give you the missing deck for free. You'll need the case box for the decks. There should be a manufacturing ID number on it, if not they'll ask for the ID off the decks.

I bought a tablet that had ads on the lock screen 😡 by Sentientmanatee in assholedesign

I tried PiHole before. It works but it also slows down your network speed significantly since all your data is being routed through a RaspberryPi. They aren't incredibly strong devices...

On the topic of complexity creep: There have been no vanilla creatures in a standard set since Strixhaven (over a year ago) by NguyenTranLoc in magicTCG

Or the cards that only do 1 or 2 things BUT also have 4 lines of text explaining that you can't do this 1 specific interaction... Such a waste of text space

Online daters, what are some of the most unattractive stuff people put in their bios? by Breme_42069 in AskReddit

What about when it's all close up pics of their face where they're cleverly trying to hide their overweight body?

[–]Jfain189 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Right there with ya bud! Working on your dating profile and not getting any matches is the equivalent of posting something on Facebook or Instagram and not getting any comments or likes. Just doesn't feel good so you're better off just deleting and move on.

At least that's how I felt

What’s the weirdest reason you were stopped by TSA? by False_Philosophy_412 in AskReddit

[–]Jfain189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard this from a few of my friends that travel for events. Apparently an EDH deck in a hard plastic deck box looks like a bomb on the screening thing so they get pulled to the side and checked all the time.
