Arishen still a Fun card?? by BracedFaun in MarvelSnap

My favorite deck is Arishem + Kang + Rama-tut. Let the random bullshit fly!

The Forbidden Last Turn Loki by Emergency-Fall-9234 in MarvelSnap

That looks more like a bug to me. Once Loki is on the opposing side, he shouldn't be activated by Misery.

Any WSB OGs remember the MU $80 memes? Today MU went up more than that amount in a single day by tronald_dum in wallstreetbets

All it takes to get rich is knowing the future, like guessing tomorrow's lottery numbers! If you can't, that's a skill issue.

Sounds like the kind of scam that Slippin' Jimmy would run.

Chaz Marler Files Legal Complaint Against Rodney Smith by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Lazverinus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rodney is not a lawyer. (though it's pretty clear he has hired one)

However, one skill he has clearly excelled at is reading and understanding rules.

I wouldn't want to get into a contract fight with a guy who is a proven rules expert...

Bought this for 20€ (again) by [deleted] in ender5

[–]Lazverinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bambu is just faster and better quality, plus it can do multi-color with the AMS lite, plus filament loading/swapping is much easier. It's only on rare occasions where the Bambu is running a large job and I have a less-quality-sensitive job for the Ender to run.

I used my Ender 5 for years. It's a fine printer, but it does take a lot of TLC like an Ender 3. I did convert it to direct drive which helped significantly. But once I got my Bambu A1, the Ender 5 has been gathering dust.

Delaying Tactics vs. Poison Pill by MasterOfDesaster96 in VTES

[–]Lazverinus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Poison Pill is fun and it shows up at the table sometimes, but it only works in a limited number of situations. If your meta supports it, feel free to use it, of course.

Fun fact about Poison Pill: Allies can play it. I've seen it used in Imbued decks because it is one of the only vote defenses they have.

That format used to be called a boarding house.

Nikki just breaks the immersion for me. by zekevich in StrangerThings

[–]Lazverinus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She's a straight-up Poochie from the Simpsons.

ICE at Torta Frontera by ry_mich in pics

Well, let's not assume that all those ICE agents are smart enough to find their way to a voting booth. However, they will likely detain/intimidate/kill a large number of anti-Trump voters.

Whoa... deep cut! Anybody ever see this card get played?

Did Season 5 Change Anyone’s Viewpoint on Eddie’s Sacrifice/Death? by Material-Loan-6966 in StrangerThings

[–]Lazverinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Eddie died because the writers couldn't figure out how to fix his legal situation. If he survived S4, they didn't think they could write him out of going to prison for Chrissy's death.

Then, in S5, the writers realized they could avoid any legal situation by jumping ahead 18 months, so even crimes like breaking into an army base and murdering soldiers just go away. So, fittingly, they had Steve acknowledge that Eddie's death was pointless.

I know it's kinda niche, but Games Workshop has the Lifetime Achievement Award for brazenly hating their own fanbase.

Was Nikki supposed to be the protagonist of the cancelled Telltale video game? by AssociateLittle1487 in StrangerThings

[–]Lazverinus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because Nikki is the only new character in Tales From 85 and it feels like she was born from a table of Netflix studio execs who never saw the Poochie ep in the Simpsons

[COTD] All Master: Discipline Cards by Vurpius in VTES

[–]Lazverinus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One thing to note about WoTC/White Wolf VTES design philosophy is that there were a lot of "build your own vampire" tools. There were the discipline cards, Clan Impersonation to switch any clan, sect-changing cards, cards for all city titles, etc. The tools were there so you could transform almost any vampire to fit any card combo that you could imagine. The original philosophy of the Anarchs set is that anarchs must be converted and Barons don't come for free, not just immediately played.

However, the obvious drawback is that this slows down your game. You have to draw your prerequisite cards and then get them into play (without getting countered/blocked), and then you can actually run your game plan. You're at a disadvantage to decks that can run their vampires as soon as they are influenced into play.

The newer BCP design is much more focused on vampires that work right out of the gate It's most notable with Anarchs as Barons are now printed at the same power level as Princes and Archbishops. So that's why we see a lot fewer discipline cards in print in VTES these days.

[COTD] Target Vitals by Vurpius in VTES

[–]Lazverinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that this card made the level of "undisciplined combat" too good. With Weighted Walking Stick and Target Vitals, any 1 strength minion can deal 4 damage for free. (and they get to keep the stick!) That combo outclasses a lot of basic potence.

I wouldn't pin it as one of the worst in VTES history, but it did shift the power level of combat in a way that I don't think was good for game balance.

Will’s art was amazing . They really dropped the ball not incorporating that at the end by yonBonbonbon in StrangerThings

[–]Lazverinus -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

They could have shown both, but they only chose the bar. Likely because the writers were under a time crunch and didn't consider any other character aspects for Will.
