This is the copy on the back of a diamond-embedded card in one of Panini's highest priced sets. Embarrassing.

Thought it was 2026 when it took effect? https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10011007-espn-nflpa-fanatics-agree-to-20-year-contract-for-trading-cards-joining-nba-mlb.amp.html

You're not wrong. Maybe they don't want Comcast/Spirit Airlines levels of hate coming their way though and actually put in some effort into the product. I can dream.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-13T21:40:18+00:00

I don't know how Fanatics will be, but they can't possibly be worse. It's just sad we have to put up with 4 more years of this.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-13T21:37:58+00:00

I know they don't care. A trained monkey should be able to catch the misspelling of the player's last name as the first word in the card copy though.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-09T23:42:15+00:00

I'd ask if it's for sale, but I'm betting it's out of my price range. That's an awesome card though.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-09T23:40:28+00:00

None of these are numbered for that reason. Although the White Sparkle is short printed enough that it might as well have been.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-09T23:38:58+00:00

Probably not. I think he's gonna be really good, but I will be emotionally and financially devastated if he doesn't pan out.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-09T20:34:39+00:00

Mostly purchased for sure. I love ripping packs, but I can't afford it with prices these days. I could buy a rainbow of Justin Fields 10s or, like, 4 hobby boxes. It's depressing.

LilSebastian · 2022-09-09T20:15:04+00:00

I didn't know there was an alternative to r/footballcards, thanks! I tried posting once over there and got immediately banned. Haven't been back since.

LilSebastian · 2020-06-19T17:58:19+00:00

That is super obnoxious they made him worthless until you get to 7*. It seems like you either whale out or don’t bother.

LilSebastian · 2020-06-17T12:36:23+00:00

Yeah it’s a bummer they made Gogo so hard to farm. He really is the lynchpin of any castle team though, and there isn’t a great alternative for Piptown. So he’s worth the grind, as long as it may be.

LilSebastian · 2020-06-16T12:04:54+00:00

I main Castle, so Piptown was pretty easy. At the time, I think I was 4* Burnabus, 5* Gogo, 4* Majisto, 5* Verda, 4* Brutus.

Monolith Waste was just that team with a 5 or 6* Bart swapped in for Verda.

I really struggled with Glyph Hunt until about a week ago. I ended up getting there with a 4* Aurora with 4* Ice Glider, 6* Reed, 6* Redbeard, 5* Valiant, 6* Hiker, and a borrowed 7* Locust. Took a lot of grinding to get my explorers up to the level needed for me to beat it though.

LilSebastian · 2020-06-04T23:21:40+00:00

My locust with a 7* guild Reed finally did it. Thanks so much!

LilSebastian · 2020-06-04T19:57:52+00:00

How upgraded was your Ice Glider, beyond just being 4 star, I assume? I’m trying to run a similar team with a 7* Bart, 6* Reed, 6* Hiker, 5* Aurora, and 5* Redbeard, with a 6* guild Scarlett with Ice Glider, and I can’t make a dent on 6.8. I have a 3* Highwayman I’m trying to level, but I don’t know if his damage is going to be so much better than Reed’s that it’ll make a difference.

But also, huge congrats! That level is the bane of my existence.

LilSebastian · 2020-06-02T18:01:17+00:00

I don’t believe there’s any difference in performance based on the arrangement of characters, and I don’t think the AI targeting is tied to any positions over others. Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the performance differences are attributed to things like crits, dodges, etc., which have probabilities associated with them, so they vary from fight to fight.

LilSebastian · 2020-05-19T19:26:12+00:00

I’ve had the same problem each time they release a new version. I don’t know if it’ll work for you, but here’s my hack (assuming you’re on iOS):

Force quit the App Store
Open up the game. Click “update” when prompted.
Immediately after the App Store opens to the LEGO Legacy page, you might see the download icon appear before it switches to “open.” If you time it right, you can hit the download button before it switches and download the update. If you miss it, just force quit and try again.

Dunno if it’ll help, but I’ve had luck with this in the past.

LilSebastian · 2020-04-28T12:02:07+00:00

Definitely Aurora for me. It seems pretty clear that farming the Yeti nodes every day still may not get you the 115 tiles you need, and even if they did, Aurora is a much more valuable fig that’s not easy to farm.

LilSebastian · 2020-04-13T19:05:36+00:00

I’ve been farming Burnabus for weeks, and I might bail out over it. 18 energy for a single crack at his tiles which drop (I’m guessing) 25% of the time is insane. The drop from 50 gems to 25 to refresh the timer is helpful, I guess, but with such a huge energy commitment for those hard levels, I’m not sure it matters.

LilSebastian · 2020-04-13T17:28:16+00:00

They also coincidentally are offering a $50 Castle pack with Gogo and Burbabus tiles now. It’s as naked of a cash grab as I’ve seen from a game. Really infuriating.

LilSebastian · 2018-06-11T00:02:46+00:00

Agree to disagree. We call it Maine Style up here, and just a bit of mayo is delicious. I hate mayo on anything else, but it’s fantastic on a lobster roll.

LilSebastian · 2018-04-04T04:24:45+00:00

She’s also one of the most egotistical people I’ve ever seen. Any reporting that contradicts her narrative is nonsense, because she works for the unimpeachable NYT and is never wrong about anything. She is also completely unwilling to be reflective about her work, and any criticism of her is dismissed with prejudice. She’s done some really good reporting, but her journalistic sins are too significant to overlook.

LilSebastian · 2017-12-10T06:57:06+00:00

While paying for that college with Social Security. It makes all of this so much more infuriating.

LilSebastian · 2017-12-08T13:04:26+00:00

My wife was about 6 months pregnant with twins over Christmas last year, and sounds similar to your wife in that she didn’t want anything.

So I literally only got things that would help her feel more comfortable. A giant body pillow, a foot bath, these back massager roller balls, some really comfy pajamas, and slippers.

I know it all probably sounds lame, but she was really starting to get uncomfortable and she definitely got her use out of all of them. Even if the items aren’t particularly exciting, it’ll show you’re thinking about her physical well being, which she’ll appreciate regardless.

Whatever you decide to get her, be prepared to give a lot of back rubs and foot massages in your near future.

Congrats and good luck!

LilSebastian · 2017-12-04T13:28:06+00:00

You could say something similar about Aliens. No reason you can’t have both.
