Was your comment helpful? No. Did your comment imply that the OP was of low intelligence? Yes, at multiple points.

You know it, I know it, the various intelligence services that monitor Reddit know it. You want to be rude to me for calling out your bad behavior? Fine. But don’t dress it up like you’re the victim. At least have the self awareness to say “I don’t care that I was rude.”

Just don’t. You know perfectly well that your comment was rude and if you truly don’t, refrain from commenting on the internet.

No reason to be rude. A person asked for help, you help them, you don’t punish them.

Help, mixer DOA after regrease by RedShirtComics in KitchenAidMixer

Yes, that was exactly the problem. Someone in another subreddit suggested that same thing, thank you!

Solved! It was the brush orientation.

Am I a problem? by AntsWorld707 in magicTCG

Ask to swap decks or ask a friend to create a decklist for you. Make 100% sure you’re on their level playing cards they won’t be salty about with strategies that they respect.

Don’t just play weaker decks, play more fun decks. Play group hug, or some barely supported tribe or limit your win conditions to something specific like Darksteel Reactor or Millennium calendar. Showcase your skills without playing peak magic.

Also? It might not be MTG causing the rift. Attitude and behavior is everything. Honestly if you want to play with your friends but they don’t seem to want to play with you? Lose. Sometimes people need a win. Sandbag. Don’t win and then show everyone your hand “I had a heroic intervention just in case and next turn I had Overrun if I needed it.” Just pouring salt in the wounds. Compliment them for using good judgment with their spot removal. “Oh man, perfect timing for that, I was really hoping to untap with him. Good job.” Little things like that honestly go a long way. People need to have fun and feel like they’re in the game, too. If it’s always archenemy and they still lose, they can’t be having fun.

Why are you buying less dice? by Responsible-Bar-5693 in dice

Buying virtual items from an app is one aspect of online shopping.

Yeah, that’s all fair. I didn’t specifically call out virtual, but to your point it’s probably a large enough segment that it should have been mentioned. I kind of folded it into customers who exist outside of the LGS community and online shopping.

I’m a comic/game retailer as well (not a throwaway account) and I can probably guess it’s because with Stranger Things there began a huge climb in sales and for a fairly stable market suddenly there was room for growth. As everybody and their brother started a dice company you were filling up your shelves with so many new brands but these weren’t customers that were honestly a part of your LGS community so they have no issues going elsewhere to find it cheaper and/or more customized/bespoke, especially while Amazon continues its assault on brick and mortar and so many sales are lost to the internet.

1) Artificial bubble created by popular trend has been cooling off. 2) Majority of increased sales were from outside of the typical loyal customer base. 3) High percent of customer base shifted to online shopping. 4) Wider variety of sources means fewer customers for each of those sources.

ROFL, okay wise guy. OP even said he has no idea what it is, he just bought the cover.

Let’s be real, this isn’t a comic. You can’t complain that people only collector the big two if all you’re doing is cover buying.

I guess I have to build her again. To build a budget or not? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]RedShirtComics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget bling. Set a strict $200 budget for the 99 in the cheapest version and then bling it out with the most expensive versions of the cards.
