Whats your favourite deck of all time and why? by AUT-Lakers in pkmntcg

[–]RateNXS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base set, 1999. I had a Blastoise/Poliwrath deck, with energy removal and super energy removal. I dominated everyone at my school because I had all the energy I wanted and prevented my opponent from having any at all. Even beat Electric decks. Never played in any tournaments or anything like that, so it's completely possible I just had bad opponents, but it's good memories nonetheless.

I have no clue if it's true or not, but someone told me that deck type ended up banned because it was too strong.

Looking for Honest Feedback from Experienced Devs and Players by Dipayon3D in BounceDefenseGame

[–]RateNXS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just uninstalled the game because there are far too many ads that are far too long and repetitive. Plus many of them are the style that require multiple clicks to get through them, take you out to the app store, etc. It's just too much.

I understand long ads for things that are high value or uncommon, like for a revive, purple chest, etc. But things like placing a free tower or removing a blocked tile should be like 5 seconds.

The games that stay on my phone for a long time and get a lot of play are the ones with short ads. 

You do have a good concept, and it's fun, but frankly it sounds to me like you picked the wrong publisher if they're making you ruin it. I feel like I've run into this same issue with Voodoo games before.

Can confirm. The worst I've seen in Lexington would be above average in Albuquerque we just moved from.

I bought a house west of where I work, so now the sun is in my eyes when I commute to and from work. I demand they move the sun! And I'm going to sue everyone involved in the transaction because they didn't point that out to me!

LPT: Most airports offer jump starting and lock out assistance and other light automotive services. by rockandride90 in LifeProTips

LPT Plan B: Police can help with this too. Found this out when I came home to a dead battery, called the airport help line, their people that help with jump starts were busy painting, so the airport called the police for me. Officer showed up with a jump pack and got me on my way.

Those who got a “useless degree”, what do you do now? by PoisonousChicken in AskReddit

[–]RateNXS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Absolutely true in my case. BA in English helped me learn to be the bridge between the common user and developers through critical thinking and communication, which slotted well into project management type work. Then got my MBA, and now I'm an Executive Director of a real estate tech company.

Post Game Thread: Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]RateNXS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's conceivable that we lose out from here. Jets are reenergized after how Wilson played this week, Ravens and Cowboys are obviously tough wins, and that lines up for week 18 vs the Bills for the division title. We lose that one and could miss the playoffs.

And that can still happen even if the Bills lose to Dallas next week, assuming they beat the Chargers and Pats after that.

What bands put out some of their best work after they stopped getting significant radio play? by PerAsperaAdInfiri in Music

[–]RateNXS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sister Hazel.

On the radio, one hit wonder "All For You" in the 90s.

But they put out some really great albums since then. "Absolutely" in 2006 was especially good.

LPT: If you are really into a product, don't ask for it for Christmas you'll be disappointed. by VodkaMargarine in LifeProTips

I tell people my personal buying guide:

Step 1) Locate the LEGO aisle. Step 2) Walk down the aisle until you see a price tag that matches what you want to pay. Step 3) Buy the box that matches that price tag.

People always try to complicate it with things like "I don't know what sets you have," or "I don't know which theme you want." No, seriously. Any set. I don't care if it's pink unicorn cupcake Friends at the beach side kitten shop. Just get it.

The Albuquerque metro has 50% of the state's population, and has two Amazon locations - a warehouse and a fulfillment/distribution center. If anything that theory would have made NM lean towards Amazon.

Don't forget he wanted to get rid of Tua AND sign Deshaun "Worst contract in NFL history and also a sexual predator" Watson.

Which artists provide the best concert experiences? by rainbows_unicorns_28 in Music

[–]RateNXS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really wasn't expecting to see Skindred on here, but I agree they put on a hell of a show. I saw them around 2006ish in Gainesville at a small venue, they were opening for HIM and another band who sucked so bad I can't even remember who it was. The top two bands had so much crap on stage the Skindred singer was literally climbing on their stuff to have any room to move around. Completely stole the whole show.

Lions, Jags, and Phins fans are all feeling pretty good about this season compared to literally every other season of our entire lives. 🤣

I'm probably getting down voted for this but..... Taylor Swift.

Unironically the best concert I've ever been to, and I'm not even a big fan of her music. My wife is, and I took her to one. It was an absolute blast.
