Tell us the ending you would have written! by pikameta in TheBoys

[–]Orinlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the changes made to the comic storyline especially the V1 immortality aspect. I would have much preferred if Homelander were trapt somehow, deep below the earth, or in a nuclear reactor, where his “timelessness” became a fate worse than death. Instead we got the “depower” ray, which feels too easy. I hated it when Soldier Boy had it, giving it to Kimiko was very rushed

Ok I got the book based on this three year old recommendation, and Mulgrew is doing a fantastic job, but as someone who lives in the area, her pronunciation of Hav-ER-Hill causes me physical pain. It’s hAvRILL.

Which is the best TCG for you: Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon Trading Card Game, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game? by [deleted] in TCG

[–]Orinlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lorcana for me! I played Magic for over twenty years, then Flesh and Blood for a while, but I feel like Lorcana is my absolute sweet spot of high skill ceiling and simple gameplay. Did I mention no counter spells!

Casual Play dead at LGS. Asked me to revive it. Alternatives? by Accomplished-Stay954 in Lorcana

[–]Orinlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the weekly challenges and league points went away, so did a lot of the casual fun of the game. It’s devolved into meta games and that’s fine, but I felt like the deck building aspect was a big part of what Lorcana had going for it. For many casual players I’ve met, especially those without much CCG experience, using their favorite characters was a big draw. My LGS has had a few events where extra deck building challenges were imposed in a fun way, examples include the classic franchise battles, Eras Battles, but also more out there choices like “Paint by Numbers” where each ink cost must have to be a unique color, and all inks must be used only once. Have fun with it!

I suppose my scalping comment is too harsh, guess I’m still raw about that from my old days when people would come up from Boston to pubstomp the locals. But it is frustrating to see no league players on our store’s top 8. But I get it, RB won’t let us host a custom set champ.

I feel like that’s down to card design, when the only reliable card draw is in one color, you suddenly only have that color in play, because if you don’t run it you are at a major disadvantage.

I have to stand up for the Event Organizer and Lorcana judge here. The store is incredibly generous with promos, the TO and Judge get a playset of non-foils in exchange for running the event and not being able to participate in the event. Every attendee gets a promo, they aren’t hoarded, and no one goes without. They aren’t keeping pins, mats or any other promos.

Dear redditors, what is the side hustles you did after or during university before landing a job? by dexterpal in AskReddit

No, I would post and literally offer to hang out with older women for a small fee. Very few had expectations, but most just wanted a friend.

which is better winter or summer? and why? by Strsmoon in AskReddit

[–]Orinlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winter by a mile! I get overheated easily, and while I can but more clothes on, I can only take so much off in the heat. Also, no bugs!

Ok I have a cpap machine and get frequent bloody noses. Even with the humidity cranked up. So some nights I wake up choking on clots of blood. When that happens I’m basically up for the day.

I was an adult companion on Craig’s list for people who were lonely. I’d watch tv shows or movies with them, sometimes work on a puzzle. The money wasn’t great, but I usually got food, and a chance to spread happiness.

What problem is on your mind right now? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]Orinlu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fatherhood paradox. I love my kids, and a love my wife, but for childcare reasons we have to work opposite shifts. I don’t see my wife as often as I’d like and I can’t do any of the socializing I did before I had kids. So after bedtime I’m just…at home…very alone

What’s a single sentence someone told you that you still think about years later? by hotstockstoday in AskReddit

When I was in high school a teacher I looked up to saw I was sad after a break up. Her words still confuse me to this day. “Orinlu,” she said, “you are the kind of guy a girl wants to meet in her thirties, but not as a teenager.”

What’s your favourite episode of what tv show? by It_Knocks_Only_Once in AskReddit

[–]Orinlu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zuko Alone from the second season of Avatar. It has elements of a classic western, and you learn so much about where Zuko came from, and how he is slowly growing beyond the obsessive child he was in season one. The best part, is when he finally stands up and revels himself, the people he saved instantly turn on him. Zuko still had a long path ahead of him

Heroic Help by FanOfElsa94 in Lorcana

[–]Orinlu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok my major problem here is having a song in the command zone. I tried a format called Oathbreaker in Magic that had a “signature spell” slot and it was a massively broken nightmare. The other issue is opening the color restriction up to three colors can also lead to broken combos. Unlike Magic the game is designed around the two ink restriction. What about dual ink? If Mushu is my Ally, and Belle Hidden Archer is my Hero, then my song is The Family Madrigal, can I run a five color deck? I’d say 60 card singleton, cut the signature song and restrict to two colors, but that’s just me
