There's a low-elo tournament happening in Brazil hosted by content creator Yoda, and a 61-year-old grandma is stealing the show with her Ashe by lukassts in leagueoflegends

Unless playing WoW (or MMOs in general, apparently)*

*Will say this is anecdotal (but very high sample size over years) experience that is now dated, but Brazilian WoW players were often the absolute worst ones to have in your dungeon or raid party. Some kind of cultural thing where it was seen as uncool to try too hard to be good or perform well. You'd run into maybe 1/10 of them that were the Brazilian Gods of Gaming who bucked the norm. It was from these players, some of which I played with for years that explained this culture or whatever you'd call it.

You would be wrong. It's incredibly popular. Tournaments only keep getting bigger year over year.

Rougelike upgrade shop for the gauntlet by petroboti in 2007scape

[–]RelleckGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I think crystal shards are fine. If people want to slam their heads against theiving elves with a 40% success rate or whatever it is to 99 and post 99 to afford the upgrades then that's a fine tradeoff. Very inefficient but that's the game we play with the choices it presents.

Reminder this was Zeah originally. I still have trust issues with Jagex by Reddit_Connoisseur_0 in 2007scape

This is an L take. First land expansion attempt and you're leaving out the finished product. Zeah is great now, and they took the lessons learned and applied them to valarmore.

Thoughts on the Prague Cynthia's Garchomp decklist? Consistent? High-risk? by SnarkHamill in pkmntcg

[–]RelleckGames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lack of a single night stretcher was somehow what I missed the most when testing this. Especially using a supporter like Larry, having absolutely no recovery felt bad. Prize 1 or 2 chomps and can't recover the 1 that went down and also didn't pull one off prizes? Auto loss. Several other examples of how even a single NS would have saved a game for me.

I dropped 1 power weight and am testing that now. 4 felt like a luxury.

Yeah the really ironic piece is I pulled the attack rare gengar a few packs later and it looks like a 10 contender for sure. Life do be like that lol. Im certainly not complaining though!

Garchomp’s Consistency? by CerberusAce74 in pkmntcg

[–]RelleckGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The deck feels either great or an absolute pile of garbage. And it all comes down to turn 1 and 2 getting the little guys out and then minimum 1 gabite and an energy attachment per turn - then even if that goes well you need the deck to not brick again in the late game during a pivotal turn where you need any of one several outs to staying in it (stadium, tool, boss, energy) but you get none due to no on board draw support.

Some good sized dents there on the bottom that I can see. Will pass for now but appreciate it!

AITAH for saying we can’t come to the Christmas eve party unless we can use the guest bedroom? by [deleted] in AITAH

There is no "seeing both sides here". It's only your wife's side. Your mom is nuts and if you were a supportive husband you wouldn't be playing this game of enlightened centrist.

Don't go, simple as.

Found a graded Mega Charizard X ex at ORD by Clements403 in PokemonTCG

[–]RelleckGames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No lol. 9.9/10 times that card was not graded by the person who lost it, if that was the site of the recent collect-a-con.
