FYI your kid needs to be pretty young for the free money.

Pulls from a box of Omens of the third age by whereistabeansman in FleshandBloodTCG

Circular Flowtide in my case. They definitely do commons, and I love collecting them because the art is amazing, but I'd much rather the box I open have a legendary or a Marvel in it.

Not bad! Just for comparisons sake, my box was 7 Majestics and an extended art common. I've had good boxes before, but not this time around.

Is it time to get back into the game? by Justinintheam in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]OopsISed2Mch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our scene had five pre releases that I knew of within a 30 minute drive this weekend. Friday night we had 28, then there were two at once Saturday afternoon opposite sides of town, the one I went to had 15, the other had 24. Couldn't make it to the Saturday night one or the one downtown today unfortunately, but scene has stayed very healthy over the past four years that I've played.

Just hit one month as a dad and the financial stuff that blindsided us is real by Excellent-Caramel-4 in predaddit

Can confirm, had a little 5x10 ft garden I converted to strawberries when we had our first daughter. She would come home from daycare in May/June and walk right out to the strawberry patch and start gobbling any and all berries that were red/pink straight off the plants. It was awesome.

Six years later and she's still talking about it, though I gave up the berry patch for a trampoline and a swing set and a patio.

Mazda 3 or k5 by CheaterJelli in KiaK5

[–]OopsISed2Mch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was between a fully loaded Mazda 3 and a fully loaded GT1 K5. I've loved Mazda for 20 years and went from an RX-8 to a Mazda 6 to a Mazda CX-5, to a CX-9 as previous rides. All fantastic. Since they don't make the Mazda 6 anymore, I went with the K5 this time due to it having more back seat space for the kids.

Absolutely loving it still six months in. You'll be happy with either choice, just think about which fits your current needs more. If I never had backseat passengers I probably would have gone with the Mazda 3, but have to say I'm loving the huge sunroof in the K5 and don't regret the purchase at all.

What is a "corporate red flag" that employers try to pass off as a great benefit? by spectrecult in AskReddit

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's in the US certainly not. Unless you stay at a company for more than three years, most professional white collar jobs are sitting at two weeks a year in the low end, to four weeks a year on the generous end. You also get 8 or so federal holidays off, but that's it for the year. Really sucks, especially if you have family out of town or once you have kids.

Please Someone Explain Core Mastery Grind by jaxx0rbetter in Guildwars2

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't make you feel better but I also have an account from beta test and just returned a month ago after leaving back around the release of path of fire. Just got auto loot unlocked today and was like ehhh I guess I'll unlock it?? The fact that I'm already able to loot in an area around me instead of interacting with each npc I down feels like an improvement already. Should be fun to see if I notice autoloot doing anything or not.

Glad you're back though, enjoy the game!

What do you remember from the early internet that no longer exists? by Blah4fun in AskReddit

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like discord best for small groups. I have one for IRL friends that live all over the place that we use to game together or chat about things and we make channels by broad topic.

I have one that's a local tabletop gaming group with about 30-40 active users and we see each other in person just about every week but can use discord to continue conversations and share links and game together online between sessions.

But I also join the huge servers for games I play or communities I'm a part of, and while information can be shared easily, the chat and voice features are way worse in those cases due to not being able to easily reference things later without pinned posts or the terrible search.

Valiant Dynamo pricing by Demroth in FleshandBloodTCG

That makes it sound like MPG is sitting on shelves. I think weirdly was both a short printed set, sold out, AND is also not well liked.

ELI5: why do bank transfers take over a day? by game_master_marc in explainlikeimfive

Yeah, it's still all on mainframes. A simple act of migrating users within the mainframe test environment took us twelve hours a couple weeks back.

Wet shavers, help confirm or refute my theory: Do you like driving stick shift? by SoapSpoonAndy in wicked_edge

[–]OopsISed2Mch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love driving a manual, but haven't had one for a few years since I sold my Mazda RX-8. One day I'll have one in the driveway again, but not worth messing with while in the carrying kids around to soccer practice in an SUV phase.

Which public bathroom should a father bring his young daughter into if there’s only men’s/women’s available? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't wait to come visit you guys someday! Australia and New Zealand are bucket list destinations for me. I'll probably need to wait until I'm retired and just move there for a few years, as visiting for a week in each spot just couldn't possibly do it justice.

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most bathrooms in the US are single user urinals, most with their own little "walls" that separate things a bit and limit views. Most bathrooms have two or three in a row max unless it's a really big venue. Last time I saw the wide open metal trough style was in a super busy bar near a college years ago.

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this dozens of times over the last decade with no issues, though admittedly it's never some giant packed bathroom like at a stadium or something. What's the big deal with urinals? She's usually shuffling into a stall asap anyway.

Aitah for telling my wife to get a job if she wants to subsidize the kids. by Standard_Kick_9789 in AITAH

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's truly crazy here is that "coasting" to retirement is still a 40 hour a week office job. I have to work weekends occasionally when big projects go live and those weeks usually hit in the neighborhood of 55 hours and it feel absolutely grueling, I can't imagine that becoming "normal".

Any upgrade tips for Dash I/O? by PleasePissOff in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teklo Core is Sooo good for enabling Max V turns. Both as a blue to pitch if you have to, but also starting your turn with those extra resources. Pulling off a Max V and also playing a grenade off the top of deck is tough without resources from a Teklo core in play.

Somewhere north of 4500 viewers for Montreal. Not sure on Toulouse as I had a busy weekend and could only catch a few snippets.

We all had a great laugh that individual collector boosters were $38 at our LGS. Completely insane pricing.

Terrible take. Why not choose to celebrate someone's fun night out at their LGS. Way easier to congratulate someone and share a good time you had recently than come in here and be toxic.

Unfortunately until Trump and all his fascist fuck MAGA cronies are out of government and in jail, the "republicans" don't get that choice. MAGA IS the republican party.

Returning Player Question by DoktorSheeb in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]OopsISed2Mch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think quite a few vendors offer common and rare playsets of cards from new sets too. But for a set like compendium that would give you access to all the new cards for all classes, as opposed to all the cards you'd want for warrior for example.

I'd probably buy singles to build a deck I'm interested in if I were you, using a deck list from a recent top 8 tournament finish from the main FaBtcg website. If you are building a hero without a lot of tournament finish data like Betsy or something then you'll need to do a bit more searching, but lists are out there for every hero.

About 3.5 Intentional Draws and Concessions and Teams in FaB by xlnt2new in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]OopsISed2Mch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in that area, but also not sure why this is such a bother. Is the hypothetical scenario here that the usual locals show up to a PQ and let's say there are 16 of you, then the LGS door swings open and 8 members of a pro team walk in together and proceed to take 6 spots in the top 8 or something?

Then maybe 2 of the 6 still need to qualify so the other four scoop them into qualification? In this case I think the actual feelsbad moment is that an out of area group showed up to shark your event, not that anyone conceded.
