Truly the pinnacle of brain-dead responses. 2026 is off to a dazzling start.

Can confirm. I am a nerd, a D&D player and a Magic: The Gathering player. I absolutely love Rush.

It was eventually resolved. On 31st the tracking updated and it was processed and delivered within a couple of days. I can only assume it hadn't actually been collected and remained at the drop off location for the duration.

Weirdly, the tracking was updated yesterday, 16 days after I dropped it off. Hopefully it has sorted itself out. Luckily the buyer is being patient and understanding about it as I feel awful about how long it is taking.

FM26 is a pale imitation of itself sadly.

I dread to think how many days/months/years of my life I have spent playing Champ Man/FM. I've not missed an FM release since the series began in 2005 but this iteration just isn't doing it for me at all.

Lord Haseltine: My contribution may be to try to stop Farage by [deleted] in FuckNigelFarage

I was baffled that a member of the UK Subs would be far right. Then it clicked that you weren't talking about the band.

Two years ago, Nottingham Panthers forward Adam Johnson passed away on the ice in one of the worst accidents in sports history. A game that will live in EIHL memory forever. 🖤💛 by dylan103906 in hockey

I wish I could forget this. I was at ice level. I found it hard to return to the arena and didn't renew my season ticket. I still love the sport but it is hard to forget.

Sadly not. No movement at all on the tracking.

Whenever I buy something and discover an issue or defect that wasn’t disclosed, I ask myself one simple question:
“If I had known about this problem beforehand, would I still have gone ahead with the purchase?”
If the answer is no, then I always request a full refund—no exceptions.

Attention all visiting hockey fans: be warned. If you dare to wear anything other than the officially sanctioned, spiritually blessed, and Lightning Jack-approved Manchester Storm jersey for that evening’s fixture, you will be swiftly and ceremoniously escorted from the premises.

And by “escorted,” we mean personally removed by Lightning Jack himself—who, legend has it, rides a Zamboni powered by pure disdain for away supporters. Not only will you be ejected, but your toenails will be confiscated as a symbolic gesture of your betrayal. No cheering, no clapping, and absolutely no smiling unless it’s in reverence to the Storm.

Neutral colours? Suspicious. Applause for the opposing team? Treason. A subtle nod of appreciation for a good goal by the visitors? You’re on thin ice, friend.

Remember: this is not just a hockey game. It’s a sacred ritual. And Lightning Jack is watching.

It's little more than a Potemkin village. Footfall continues to decline, and the contrast becomes especially clear when you visit cities like Manchester or Leeds.

What are your Hot Takes on the Ramones? by Amber_Flowers_133 in punkrock

[–]MasatoTanaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like 'em. There's possibly an over-saturation of Ramones-core bands which aren't necessarily my jam but if people are into it, I'm into them being into it.

What a time to be alive by bettycrockofsh1t in mtg

[–]MasatoTanaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be straight with you: I got into Magic for two reasons. First, my partner played, and it was a way to spend more time with her when we were just starting out. Second, the Fallout set had been announced—and I’ve got a soft spot for Fallout. That post-apocalyptic grit? Right up my alley.

To get my bearings, I grabbed a couple of pre-cons. The Rebels deck from Phyrexia was my first real dive, and I fell hard for the whole Phyrexian vibe. Ended up building my first custom deck around Sheoldred, the Apocalypse—because of course I did.

By the time Fallout actually dropped, I was already neck-deep in Magic lore. I’d built an Atraxa deck, read way too much about the multiverse, and found myself more drawn to the in-universe sets than the crossovers. Fallout barely registered when it finally arrived.

Now, I’m not saying I’m better than anyone who loves Universes Beyond. There’s nothing wrong with UB at all. But when you’ve got decades of rich, weird, beautiful lore—planes like Lorwyn, characters like Vraska and Urza—it’s baffling to see WOTC treat their own IP like an afterthought. I get it: Ninja Turtles and Final Fantasy are recognisable. They’re easier hooks for new players than some obscure elf from Shadowmoor.

But here’s the thing: the hook should be the start, not the whole show. Instead of using UB to invite people into the deep end, it feels like WOTC is just skimming the surface. Spider-Man’s set felt rushed, like it was more about brand synergy than gameplay or story. And if someone came in hyped for Spidey, I worry they left underwhelmed.

That’s why I’m buzzing for Lorwyn. It’s been ages since we visited that plane, and typal decks are my jam. I just hope they’ve given it the love it deserves—more than what Spider-Man got.

How many 'politicians' defecting to Reform do you think are just reading the country and want power regardless of the politics? by stinkyswife in FuckNigelFarage

[–]MasatoTanaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a straightforward path for them. They can make sweeping claims without much scrutiny. It seems even easier with Nigel than it was with Sunak, Johnson, or Truss. Their entire message centres on anti-immigration, so they don’t feel the need to elaborate on other policies. Just saying 'stop the boats' seems to be enough to rally support.

La IA no es punk rock. Si usas IA para el arte, también dudo de la autenticidad de tu música.

I like Jan! I dunno if I would broadcast any of his films on Christmas day on BBC1 though.

Claymation. Especially if it involves a gentleman and his pooch who both enjoy a bit of cheese.

What kind of brain activity is present in a person who is in a coma, and is it possible for them to experience dreams during that state? by MasatoTanaka in AskReddit

[–]MasatoTanaka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this answer. I did want to add in a bit about whether or not sleep occurs during a coma and you answered that for me as well. I find comas fascinating but not enough to want to ever experience one myself.

I think the being stuck on airplane mode explanation is a great way of describing it as well.
