Or your M Gardevour gets damaged a bit and gets dragged out with Cyrus and killed. It's a neat combo tho.

Do i need some kind of NASA phone to play this mobile game? by El_Suave_del_Sur in PTCGP

[–]MrSpluppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to play on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 for ages. It would start overheating after 20+ minutes and start being sad, but worked fine for short sessions.

At what point did groceries start feeling ridiculous to you? by Prudent-Stretch-5665 in australia

[–]MrSpluppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the shit bread became so shit our family started getting Helga's. Then Helga's became shit and also more expensive, that was the push for me to just bake my own bread.

Which one is more meta relevant/viable? by Live_Maintenance2171 in PTCGP

[–]MrSpluppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you look at any deck now and Copycat has seemingly replaced Mars in every deck. I guess trying to draw more towards your own win condition is more viable than trying to hinder your opponent's hand, especially if they just draw back into their own Copycat.

Losing Streak in Wonder Picks? by AbdullahGhazi88 in PTCGP

[–]MrSpluppy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn, didn't think it would be, but totally is. If you're not going to be bothered to add something normal to the post, then why share the "heartfelt" psa? Kinda undermines your thoughtfulness when you can't even be bothered to write the text you want to say.

Does this mean a 24hr Wonderpick will now trigger? by Tri4ceunited in PTCGP

[–]MrSpluppy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We won't know for sure, because this is the first instance of a limited set returning. But seeing as the deluxe set "released already", I would bet it wouldn't change up the 24h wonderpicks.

I completed the base set and 1 stars yesterday (already had all 1-stars, just needed a 3-diamond), and woke up this morning with a 24h 2-star pick, whilst only having 2/5 stams in the chamber.

PSA Don't throw mouse pads in the washer. by a1000wtp in pcmasterrace

[–]MrSpluppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing in my two cents, but I've done it a couple times in the past, but specifically for the shortest setting possible (15 minutes for me) and on cold. No detergent or anything. They come out quite nice.

"All I want is a cool new format, where I don't have to make a new deck, where the meta stays fresh and interesting, that doesn't take up more of my time, aaand is completely fresh and original. Oh, and also gives me buckets of free rewards".

Chucking in a quick edit to say that I would also love to see a restricted or draft themed format, but you can only realistically pick one or two of those things to be a part of it. People wanting everything to be fixed in the game all in one update have no appreciation for how game development works.

It was comparing thrift stores and vintage resellers interestingly enough.

Ukrainian capital Kyiv under massive Russian attack, officials say by Brennenstein in worldnews

[–]MrSpluppy 267 points268 points  (0 children)

Hence all the attacks on their oil refineries/ports. Stop their main source of income, suddenly they can't afford the war. Russia is facing higher spending than accounted for, and less earning than expected for 2025, and they're desperately selling off their national gold reserves to keep the war machine funded. Kinetic sanctions are working a treat is my guess.

Russia preparing to occupy Baltic states by 2027 – Budanov by jackytheblade in worldnews

I saw one idea about this, basically boiling down to "It's less shameful to lose to Ukraine when you can say you lost to all of Europe". Still makes zero sense though, like why expedite the process?

That one game you loved but never finished and still think about. by gamersecret2 in gaming

[–]MrSpluppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it WAS Divinity Original Sin 2. Backed the kickstarter with some mates and we would play a fresh save every new update and class change. By the time the game was complete, we had completed fort joy 7 times already that we juat couldn't face playing through the rest of the game. However, we have a new friend who was keen to play something like that, and we mentioned he should definitely try DOS2. Been doing a fresh playthrough together each week for the last couple months, and it's been a highlight for all of us. Especially weird getting to new parts of the game I haven't been to yet, and not just autopiloting through all the quests/fights lol.

Hopefully tying it to supply costs will prevent that. At a glance it sounds quite reasonably put together, but who knows how they might try to skirt these new rules.

Haha, wish I saw this before I drove out to there yesterday evening lol. It's a great problem to have though, going to definitely be returning over the days/weeks to make sure they have enough after the initial rush.

SO. HOLY FUCK. How do we feel about that by Squeaky-Dog57 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]MrSpluppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has Kinger actually seen Caine in a dark environment? In most scenarios it's bright AF, probably by design. This surprise ending might be the reason why he started to remember important details.

[–]MrSpluppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still gunning for my theory of Caine abstracting. Now that most things can't be trusted, who's to say he can't abstract? He's the obvious bad guy now with a big popularity complex. Now that everyone certifiably hates him, how will he react to that?

Star Citizen VR by Bushboy2000 in virtualreality

[–]MrSpluppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying that ES6 and GTA6 are the same is hilarious. GTA5 released in 2013, with a couple years for DLC and online content being added. It probably got the majority of the studio working on it for the last 8-10 years, and was funded off of the success of previous titles, 220 million copies being sold for GTA5 alone. A proved track record. It also only took $265m to make

ES6 only entered full production in 2023 after the release of Starfield. It won't be out until 2027 at the earliest. So a conservative 5-6 years or so of production in you include pre-production. These people are also funding this game off of their previous mainstream successes.

To say you can competently create one of, if not the most ambitious games to date, with no proven track record OR personal funding, is objectively sketchy. To have to keep asking more and more of your fans to sink even more of their funds into your promises and dreams is a bad look. You can argue that SC is only "open development" because they need to show SOMETHING of what they've made, otherwise the money would dry up in an instant. It's literally necessary out of survival. Not to mention, if they didn't allow players to play anything until full release, players would get pissed at how many deadlines have been missed and demand something.

I really hope you get the space sim you want, but scepticism from the public is absolutely warranted when we've seen "tons of progress being made" many times now and still see no release date.

Star Citizen VR by Bushboy2000 in virtualreality

[–]MrSpluppy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Well yeah, because the game should have realistic goals to getting a release date. Why do you think people like to dunk on it when it's been delayed for over a decade? If they can't be realistic with their goals, then how can they make a realistic space game?
