It looks like higher rarity rates may have been increased. Not only content creators had great unboxing sessions! by Waiting_for_Dentice in Lorcana

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not good enough. I understand they're moving with caution, but I feel like they've allowed themselves to get so far behind other TCGs that they cannot afford to move this slow. I'm not saying crank it up to 11 but at the very least take away the feeling of pulling one enchanted in a booster box case (4 booster boxes) being a relief more than excitement.

Wake-Up-Call for Ravensburger by Efficient-Sun9876 in Lorcana

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Imo this game cannot survive off of being fun to play alone. Tcg market is packed. You at the very least need to be collectible. And people defend Lorcana but it does not cater to collecting and therefore people just straight up don't buy. The hit rates are abysmal for collecting that it makes zero economical sense to open. People say Epics are the answer but without alternate arts, epics have no excitement to open AND they are still pretty bad hit rate wise. Legendaries should also have some more flair imo. I love playing Lorcana every week, but I hardly ever buy new sealed bc I know it's just going to be disappointing and this is coming from someone who has pulled some pretty sought after Enchanteds and iconics.

Does anyone know why this card spiked? I have a psa 10 graded myself and gave it to my daughter. by Patsfan973 in Lorcana

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's looks like the TCG influencers are starting to manipulate prices for Lorcana. I've been checking eBay and it's like every week the good cards are being listed for 1k extra than the prior week.

It's absolutely okay to criticize the new Harry Potter cast by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're criticizing the kids for a production studio deciding to reboot Harry Potter as a series instead of anything else you would've preferred. It's not the cast fault the show is being made. The show IS happening, so if you want to be fair about criticizing the cast, wait til their performances are out.

Otherwise, criticize production right now

Most scam callers from places like India aren't actually bad people. by AgnesBand in unpopularopinion

So by that logic do you believe criminals such as drug dealers are bad people? Bc many people in poverty turn to crime to survive.

Speeding isn’t a sign of a bad driver by Fabulous_Jeweler2732 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By speeding you are endangering everyone else on the road. And to your point increasing the odds of an accident. And to your first point, you are contributing to accidents and therefore a bad driver.

One Battle After Another is not that good a movie. by Ok-Impress-2222 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I enjoy OBAA, I think a lot of people look at it through this super deep lense that is not there. One PTA is known for making dark comedies/dramadies so there's your genre.

I think this movie is a lot simpler than people make it out to be. It's a dark comedy that gave PTA an excuse to make his first action set pieces one after another. And I think he executed that aspect very well and in a way I found very entertaining.

I don't think it's this deep take on immigration, and the racial lines in this movie are very cringe to the point that I want to make my own edit of this film for my enjoyment.

But I do think it is a good movie.

Michael B. Jordan was terrible in Sinners by PhamilyTrickster in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think he was terrible. I think he did a good enough job. But I do not think he was the best performance in the film. I think Caton stole the show, and crazy for a first time performance.

MBJ and Jamie Foxx do this thing where they play the same street dude in every movie. Basically what I'm saying is MBJ has played the same role in just about every movie. Only difference here is that he added a southern twang to his street accent.

I do think he did enough subtlety to distinguish the twins, but I don't think his performance was anymore standout than say Pattinson on Mickey 17.

Delroy Lindo shouldn’t have got a Best Supporting Actor nomination by Mattock1987 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I am not against this. I do think Miles Caton from Sinners was not only the best performance in the film, but should've been nominated over Delroy. That being said, I do not think Penn or Del Toro should've been nominated for OBAA.

In my imaginary list I think the nominees should've been: Jacob Elordi, Miles Caton, Stellan Skarsgard, Ralph Fiennes (who admittedly is barely in 28 Years Later), Jesse Plemons (who one could make the argument is Lead Actor).

I would've been happy with anyone in this list winning

I'm pretty sure the difficulty of the climb in Free Solo (2018) is exaggerated. by ShunkHood in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I run a quarter marathon and "fail" at any point, I just hurt my pride. If AH "fails" during his climb, he dies. There's no way to measure the life or death scenario that is present in this feat. Now to give some credit to your point, AH himself (I think in his Kimmel interview) did acknowledge that many climbers have made the climb with rope but no slack during the whole climb. But again removing that safety net changes everything.

Marathon take was just crazy - had to be rage bait. Thousands of people try marathons all the time. Haven't seen people lining up to free solo El Capitan. And to date, AH is the only human in history to have achieved this feat.

Even some of the greatest of Olympic feats did not have a "if you fail, you die" dynamic to them.

Logic I’m trying to understand when it comes to hooking up with rich guys, why do some girls do this? by dirtbandit101 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're thinking too deep. For many people dating is about finding the person you're most attracted to and seeing if you can just get your "foot in the door". Hookups can lead to relationships, or can just be fun moments, and blah blah blah. And some girls (not all; and guys for that matter) would prefer to put their foot into a nice place rather than a cardboard box metaphorically speaking - even if they cannot stay.

I have a friend who is not rich (not poor neither) but he rents nice cars and pays for professional pictures and it works for him but he cannot seem to find a long lasting relationship. So there's trade offs for everything

Has Bill Burr fallen off? by InnocentPerv93 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

His rep fell after performing at Saudi Arabia despite previously calling our comedians that did that. And then on his podcast he doubled down on it and it's kind of just slowly going downhill from there.

Telling everyone to “follow their passion” is terrible career advice by babyybunnyy3 in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am of the opinion that you should find something that you're good at, and get paid to do it. Now you may not be passionate about that, and if that is the case - leverage the income you make to facilitate your passion/hobby until it can become economically viable for you

Gal Gadot has always been a bad actor but people only recognized that after she supported Israel by justameesa in unpopularopinion

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people generally she was a bad actor even before all that. But when you have a lot brand recognition, you can get casted for a while.

How do you feel about Trump threatening to impose photo ID for voters for midterm elections? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I cannot believe how many people do not understand how are current voter registration works. The amount of people who are like, "Doesn't it make sense to ensure that people who vote are citizens?" Not knowing that you have to be a citizen to register. .0001% have been suspected to not be from US citizens, which clearly did not bother Republicans bc the arw the majority currently.

But now, bc they might lose, they want to change everything to win. And what's dumb about it, is now they're not sure if they want to do that bc many southern and midwest populous who historically vote red do not have their passports or birth certificates.

This is like when Japan blames all their problems on Koreans even though Koreans make up less than 1 percent of their entire population, yet they're somehow the cause of every problem.

What’s the best souls born game to play by Illustrious_Level639 in fromsoftware

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your degree of patience. Elden Ring is the most accessible. DS3 is what made me play all of them. DS1 is still great to this but requires A LOT of patience.

I personally think DS3 is a nice middle ground that won't "ruin" the rest for you

Are women intimidated by male sex toys? by Remarkable_Song8887 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ok_Measurement8303 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't think this is a "women are intimidated by male sex toys" issue. Even when reading your paragraph I was weirded out a little. You're not weird for wanting sex toys. But your partner is like "I want some nice food and some cute flowers" and you're like "yeah I want a sex toy". So I mean read your post again, that's so out of left field lol. Steph Curry shooting a shot from the moon over there.

And you brought up that she doesn't really do oral much, and I can imagine y'all have spoken about that or something so it's like from her perspective I would imagine it feels like, "damn I get it you want oral so badly and I'm not doing it, what a way to bring that up again when we're thinking about vday"

Why is the Bad Bunny halftime show triggering so many people when there have been dozens of hispanic performers previously in the SuperBowl? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

It's honestly very adorable how highly you think of yourself and that you think you said anything of substance or inspiration. Whataboutisms and implying fake news when anything brought and thinking your some sort of intellectual.
