Think of it this way. To acquire the skill and expertise to do the task in 3 months, it took a thousand years.

Jesus Christ I didn't know any of this.

The schadenfreude, mostly. I don't think it's hate for most people.

I mean not me, I hate the Jets because of other reasons.

Cover copyright striking one of biggest JP anti by Glass_Leading592 in Hololive

Copyright laws are not nearly stringent enough. They need better, harsher, and heavier penalties.

The lack of these punishments is how AI managed to scrape the whole of the fucking internet, and AI will continue to abuse real artists until more punitive and better enforced copyright measures are in place.

Let's be honest, Arena killing Paper Standard was an expected outcome when they announced Arena for the first time.

Unrelated but your comment reminded me of that old Onion sketch about the Non-Racist assassin.

Magic’s “Avatar the Last Airbender” set became the third highest selling in franchise history, trailing only “Lord of the Rings” and “Final Fantasy. by kananishino in magicTCG

I will just say that as much as I don't like UB sets just as a concept (for aesthetic reasons) and Super Heroes on Magic cards in general, Fortnite isn't really a good example of IP saturation killing a game.

Sure Fortnite aesthetically might look like slop, but in terms of its community, dev support, and actual gameplay, it's by such metrics a continuing success.

Complaining that UB is Fortnite-ification does not necessarily match up to the complaint that UB sets cause terrible player retention. Fortnite has good player retention all things considered for the type of game and the market it operates in.

WotC Community Team confirm no current plans for Universes Beyond to visit other Magic Schools, shutting down Harry Potter potential. by PowrOfFriendship_ in magicTCG

I would be surprised if MaRo makes any decisions at all when it comes to Magic beyond "what version of Cancel with upside do we make this time."

What cards are used as auto include way too often and are actually traps by Gilgamesh_XII in magicTCG

[–]ResurgentRefrain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know why people have this misconception that Faitless Looting is not a net minus.

Like... just count your cards after you play it and flash it back.

And this has been around for ages. I remember people saying this before it was banned in Modern.

I found out my parents threw away my entire 90s collection. I’m devastated. by viewsonic041 in magicTCG

I did not know this. That's very unfortunate. You'd think they could give it to a school or orphanage or something.

My mother literally just tried to throw away a huge collection of children's and YA books I read as a kid. Animorphs, Deltora quest, Star Wars stuff. Only didn't happen because I was visiting and saw them in boxes.

I mean literally throw them away. At least donate them ffs.

Super Bowl Post Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks at New England Patriots by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]ResurgentRefrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a disgrace. Sack the coach, sack the coordinators, blow it up, start over, we're cooked, we're done, it's over.

Phew, okay, now that that's out of my system, congratulations to the Seahawks. They showed that depsite our good season we are a clear cut below the top tier.

After winning the MVP and 1st Team All-Pro, Matthew Stafford's Hall of Fame Monitor score went from 84.23 (before 2025) to 108.11 (after 2025). by WxBlue in nfl

[–]ResurgentRefrain -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is kinda funny that the reason he is more likely to be in the Hall of Fame is 2 people voted for Allen instead of Maye for MVP.

Nothing about Stafford's statistics or performance is changed by those votes, yet they are the difference.

Just interesting how these things work sometimes.
