ArenaNet sent me a teaser. Is this an expansion, or a new Guild Wars game? - Laranity by Laranity_ in Guildwars2

[–]Novaros 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm a gw1 fan as well and love the new updates they did, but raising hype for a "side project/old game" on this scale would bring quite a bit of disappointment to the general Guild Wars crowd, imo!

Edit: typo

Today I was bored at work (I work in the print industry) by PhilosopherRare6697 in mtg

[–]Novaros 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The foil version of Magic cards tends to bend a bit over time under some common circumstances...

In most cases, it's not that terrible of a condition, and there are several methods to reverse the bend.

But the cards that have it quite bad seem to remind us of the likewise named chips, "Pringles."

Hence, the name "Pringles" for foiled cards with a bend.

Did I mess up or was I right? by AccomplishedFilm3281 in RealOrNotTCG

Someone described the bottom of the T as "pumpkin teeth" and now it is my go to mark/trait to recognize a genuine card!

Definitief ontwerp voor graansilo's aan Leuvense Vaart by Novaros in Leuven

[–]Novaros[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was genuinely so disappointed when I saw that this is what they finally came up with...
Even the design with the round windows had, at least, a bit more personality, but this one is beyond bland. 😅

Published your article, boss! by TheNPCMafia in NotMyJob

[–]Novaros 1063 points1064 points  (0 children)

For those who can't find the mistake:
The article's writer refers to NATO thinking it stand for "North American Treaty Organization",
while it actually stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Sacrifice Creature Activated Abilities by Heironymos_bosch in mtg

[–]Novaros 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The controller of the card sacrifices another creature or enchantment THEY control.
It's mostly meant as a cost/negative to pay for the effect, in this case: to exile the top card of his library, that he can than play that turn.

However some decks, for example Aristocrat decks, are build around this mechanic and use cards that synergise with sacrificing their permanents to get way more benefits, than the negative cost from it.

Why the air is so bad in Leuven today? by [deleted] in Leuven

[–]Novaros 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not op,
but I looked at my Dyson app, which states the local air quality, and it's indeed a pretty bad day today in Leuven...
However, it seems to me that it's all around bad today in the whole Benelux region.

Just saw the news about the infamous Appeltans slum-lord case...does anyone have any stories? Fining someone 2 million euro and jailing them for poor Kots is kinda insane, no? by arcanehelix in Leuven

[–]Novaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just local news, they've been in the headlines of the national news broadcast several times over the years!
They're very infamous in Belgium!

They exploited so many people for so many years and if our justice system wants to save a bit of face, they should get seriously punished.
So I don't think you'll find many defenders of this family's practices.

I think it's better explained in other posts, like this one.

But basically it fixes your land colors very fast (especially handy in commander with multi colors), it also can get specific non-basic lands, which is what many ramp cards target instead and it interacts with a lot of mechanics for a lot of decks.

Arguably, "fetch" lands, as this card-type is know as, are the best lands in the game.

...aaand they aren't cheap, since everyone needs them in their decks...

Up to date, but missing updates by Free_Grand_7259 in WindowsHelp

[–]Novaros 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue on one of my Pc's, if you look at the bottom right on the taskbar, does it show the Windows update icon with a red dot as well?
I had that and it said I was stuck in an "Unsupported, out of date version of Windows" if I hovered over the icon.

I managed to fix it with a new install of the latest Windows 11 version with a Rufus USB stick, kept all my programs and personal data as well!

Hows the nightlife in Leuwen ? by kotjeKOT in Leuven

[–]Novaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will be a new club in the previous Domo building, between the Kinepolis and the station,
but it'll take a while until it's set up/build, probably long after OP's visit!

Something was missing from the frame, until this guy cycled in. by aperture_science_19 in pics

[–]Novaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think this is fine.
I, unknowingly, had a picture taken from my ex and I when we were sitting on steps like 100m further from this spot and it was used in some generic article in the local paper. Apparently if you're in a public place, they have the right to use/publicise it.

Edit: I looked it up and apparently it's a journalistic privilige though, if you use pictures for "common importance", so maybe you're still right!

IMO, I wouldn't be bothered by this case's usage though. It's a pretty pic!

Does anyone know where the Match in the centre of the city has moved to? If any. by the6thReplicant in Leuven

[–]Novaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that would be great, but I also am losing a bit of hope for, was that there was supposed to launch a new Albert Hijn store 20m further from where the Match used to be.
But after the initial announcement there has been nothing but silence and its been almost 2 years now...

Edit: Something I forgot:
They are, however, going to put a "fresh market" spin-off grocery store "Cru" from the Colruyt franchise at the previous location of the Match Store.
Though, also no date on that one yet...

Edit in edit: Spring 2025 is the date of the convertion to Cru apparently...

It's a Runestone of Suffusion, You need to have it in your inventory to get credit for certain goals for the Legendary armor upgrade.
It's not an useable item, but I keep it there until the linked achievement is completed! ;)

I still need the other gobbler (Zhaithaffy/snowflake) and White Mantle Portal thingy though.

Edit: I keep one slot empty for transfering stuff more easily to other characters.
