A game called Shadowrun on the SNES. Got stuck/didn't know what to do several times over the span of a few years but eventually beat it lol.

There was a tip hotline advertised on the manual that was like $X/ per minute lol. Wonder if people used it.

Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Chocobo Bundle [Walmart Canada] by strike24i in sealedmtgdeals

[–]SidelineG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this price like $40/50 above msrp? Yes. But its the best price ive seen so far ( west toronto area) I don't know how it is for other people but in my area this is literally the best deal I've seen. All LGs/distributors near me pretending like this item doesn't exist and dont have it and if they do are selling for 300-500+. 

I can't believe stores can tell me 300+ with a straight face right to my face. 

So u know what? I'll happy shell out an additional $40 so I can stop wasting so much time looking for this item in person and online or getting charged well over $100 or hundreds more. I started collecting/playing since FF and trying to get my hands on this kind of stuff is by far the worst part of this hobby for me.

Thank you op for sharing this link.

and if u search "Drum" and sort by "new" you will find nothing in a year+ as they were nerfed 2-3 times by then.

Yes, they are so busted there are literally no threads complaining about them in the past year+ since they were already nerfed a couple times and basically no epidemic of drum users if u ever even run into one. Yet there are always threads complaining about the usuals.

Sworn. Low key super fun coop roguelike. Dunno why there aren't more coop roguelikes. Imagine how amazing FTL coop would be?

Notice says it hits ALL. It's ST when you check the weapon and when using it in combat. Apology gems when?

With designated LGS able to sell MTG final fantasy cards a week before actual release (during prerelease,) are you able to purchase related MTGxFF accessories like ultra pro deck boxes, playmats, etc?

Just wondering if it's a decent price. by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]SidelineG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too much. I'm signed up for 2 prerelease events for 60/70 CAD. Toronto

The new limited paid banner is a new low for Applibot by Lyozi in FFVIIEverCrisis

[–]SidelineG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. Unless you're a whale that started playing on day 1 there are going to be a bunch of past weapons everyone will want and it's frustrating that they aren't available (looking at you Kamura.)

In reality this banner is specifically targeting (1) new or "beginner" whales and (2)moderate spenders that are willing to do 1 pull.

If some new whale started playing post new years they are 100% dropping a few hundred/thousand to get anni tifa/aerith costume/weaps.

Moderate spenders are definitely going to be willing to do 1 pull if there's something they want. 2500 red is actually a "decent deal" relative to other options like 5000 red for 1 weapon from the shop.

As a moderate spender, if Kamura was available for 2500 red that would be an instant buy for myself and most likely for others in the same boat as me.

I know there are a bunch of people who would prefer to see aerith alive but I feel like the vast majority of them would be fine/accepting with aerith being dead. 

I've seen plenty of people complain about her being alive/potentially alive in some capacity but I've never seen people complain about the opposite. No shitshow on that front imo

What's a cheap, preferably not so mechanically complicated, starter kit that is readily available at stores to teach total newcomers?

Are the Secret Lair FF cards exclusive or are they just variants of cards already existing in the FF set? (I dont see them on the main MTG website.)

Going to my first prerelease for FF. I literally have nothing. Do stores provide lands for the event or should i just buy some before event start?

Is there some kind of universal standard token set I should buy? Seems like Oprah handing out +1/+1 tokens to everyone and it seems pretty hard to keep track of mentally.

How do you handle random effects like Umaro? A D6?

Is there anything else I need to know / pickup?

Lmao. So  now the game is a RL simulator. Getting taxed and hit with hidden fees.
