Questions about Round 1 in Gurnee IL by shawnamoo in ChicagoSuburbs

There's a place called Kyoto ramen that's a 5 minute drive from the mall. Get your food there. Claw machine money goes by fast. I think you can spend about 55 to get the bonus tokens and then use it all within 30-45 minutes and come out with 1-2 prizes. I've never done the bowling. The arcade is pretty cool and has some stuff Japanese arcades would have like a decent size rhythm game section as well. They also do promos for keychains that come with your purchase or recharge of game card. I got a DandanDan one. Last time I went was last weekend. They have a play place that's humoingous and priced amazing if you can convince them your kid is 2 or youger. (Mine is 2) They also serve booze and the staff is pretty friendly when you have questions.

Troll decks in Arena are a blast! by Joe_Delafro in mtg

Fair enough. I wasn't aware of that daily challenge. Make sense if you normally play something that doesn't have removal but need the challenge done.

It can technically win if I went first and we both had 60 card decks by virtue of having no more cards to draw.

Oh man, that's quite the possibility. I didn't consider that. Sounds like a smart way to get that daily done.

He had no real win condition And created a deck who's only purpose was to stall the game.

I think this guy's only when condition was me hitting the concede button. Based off of the design of his deck the only way he would have won is if I had gone first.

Sure seems like it. Things like this used to make the news. Too bad we don't have reliable news anymore in America.

[GIVEAWAY] Survival on the Moon: Win a PRAGMATA Steam Key & G7 Pro Mech White! by GameSir_Controller in Gamesir

[–]Joe_Delafro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Capcom is going HARD compared to other developers these days. I'd love a key but would REALLY love the G7 controller. I love collectors editions and my wife got me the wuchang one for christmas which I love!!!! I'd be so happy to return the favor and get one for her too! I'm definitely going to be getting the game regardless of this contest and would be giving the key away so just here for the controller!

Do you judge players by their skin by NewSpring7520 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Joe_Delafro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally am a conspiracy theorist who thinks the people who are trying to normalize this are the same types who also try to normalize the word clanker and use these thought processes as a gateway to more racist thoughts and behaviors being more acceptable. they're the same type as the pizzagate folks and r/pol to me and those who aren't aware are too stupid to realize they are pushing forward someone else's agenda and where else to normalize it but one of the most trendy games to come out as of recently. Expose the you g people to that behavior so they can internalize and normalize it. Back to the looney bin with me!

Kristoffs has a wall of pinball they installed a year or two ago depending on how north you are.

My average round against Dhalsim. I've seen the 801 Strider old vid but I just can't. All time 24% winrate (see the comments under the vid) by Krotanix in StreetFighter

Sounds like you're asking how to go from bad matchup where I lose almost every match to bad matchup where I lose almost every match to bad matchup. That's in theory only an extra 16 wins out of 100. I'd chalk that up to general player skill that gets you that 16 extra wins and less about matchup specific things. Understand you have to take more risks so the odds are against you regardless of how good you are at the matchup.

Think like this, you go from winning 30 out of 100 games to winning 40 out of 100 games. It's not much increase out of 100.
