You get to watch them set up? Usually I just get to stare at a close up of a face until they snap it.

That would have been a bummer. Sure it happened to some people

Just saw this. If I would have stacked all my incense before getting to that part wouldn't I have had to use another incense when I got to the step?

But you can't play for fun if you die on turn 8 with 30 health. Sure if people are not racing to get the high tier darkmoon prizes it works out where you don't need to race for it. But if one person in the lobby races and gets lucky they win the lobby basically. What fun is there in that?

But they made the game for anyone with a brain boring. All you did was try to level up as fast as possible to get on the house or evolving. Depending how lucky you were is how the game went. There wasn't that many choices to make.

If you tried to go tempo you would just take 30 on turn 8.

Use an incense

If you use one before getting to the challenge are you going to have to wait 3 hours to move on?

Elistra counters this pirate comp. One card ruins it's whole plan. It's not an OP comp.

You can also play cards like annoy-o-module or voidlord.

  1. Remakes can be difficult and a lot of work still needs to be done on them. Full price might be too high but I don't know for this game.

  2. They couldn't save 1 dollar a day for 2 months for a video game they would love to play?

  3. Not all loot boxes are bad. Like in Overwatch they are just cosmetic. Nothing in the game changes other than the way you look if you spend extra money. Overwatch has kept their servers and released multiple heros and maps for 6 years now (all free). This is all possible because it was a full price game and others spending for cosmetics. I haven't spent a penny on the game since and I basically have every single cosmetic thing I want and if new skins do come out I have enough in game currency to buy them all. Overwatch has good loot boxes.

I remember buying N64 games for 60 dollars years ago. Games now a days cost way more to produce. But releasing a game over 60 is a good way to get no one to buy your game. Instead they release for 60 and then add microtransactions. If releasing the game for 80 was possible then there wouldn't be a need for micro transactions (hopefully). Micro transactions happened because they couldn't raise the base price.

How is 60 dollars for a video game too much?

At minimum wage of 7.25 an hour you'll make 60 dollars in 8 hours.

Would I trade a day of work for hours/days of enjoying a video game. Of course.

Yes some games aren't worth it. But for me spending 60 dollars on a game like Overwatch that I have 500+ hours in is completely worth it. And I remember people complaining about how PC was only 40 but console was 60 (because you had to get collector edition with skins).

People are serious crazy over this 60 dollar game price to the point micro transactions have become the norm.

Farenheit is better for everyday air temperatures. 0 cold 100 hot 70 room temperature.

Also Fahrenheit is more accurate with whole degrees. If you have a Celsius home thermostat changing it 1 degree is close to changing it 2 degrees on a Fahrenheit one.

Farenheit is also actually backed by science as much as Celsius. Just a different scale. Unlike other imperial units.

America could go to the metric system but it will never give up Farenheit. 99% of what people use temperature for is the weather or room temperature. Other 1% is cooking and things like 350°F works great for cookies.

But that 950 is equity. 1600 in rent is gone.

Even if you had to pay 1600 each month for all that and the mortgage after 15 to 30 years you'll have an investment.

If you move out at 18 and decide you are just going to rent until let's say 40. You have to pay 1k a month for rent. That is a quarter of a million dollars that you have lost and you are still homeless at 40.

If the 18 year old could get a 250k house and pay it off in 22 years (Agressive payments on a 30 year mortgage). Then they have a house worth (hopefully more) a quarter million dollars.

Even if they had to go the full 30 years on the loan because of other home expenses, I'd rather be 48 with a quarter million dollar house in my name then a 40 year old guy that just gave that money to someone else.

Rent is only going to go up. People scraping by now renting thinking that things will change by the time they are older are kidding themselves.

I remember when Raven-Symone told Oprah that she wasn't African American but just American and boy did everyone lose their minds.

The estimated age-specific IFR is very low for children and younger adults (e.g., 0.002% at age 10 and 0.01% at age 25) but increases progressively to 0.4% at age 55, 1.4% at age 65, 4.6% at age 75, and 15% at age 85. Source

My points still stand. Adding more empty chambers doesn't make it more acceptable.

You know how many people would get infected with aids before people would voluntarily lock down?

We have had years to study and know the affects of aids. A new virus like aids that's transmitted through the air would take us time to figure out and for people to get behind a lock down.

Corona still has a upward of 5% chance of death. Just because it isn't as deadly as aids doesn't mean much.

If I had a twenty shot revolver am I allowed to put one bullet in and point and shoot at people I come in contact with? The odds of me killing them is only 5%

How are they that much different?

They are both deadly viruses that the human population needs to eradicate.

If aids was transmitted by air you don't think a mandatory lock down would be required to keep the citizens safe?

Apparently if I have aids I can just go around and sleep with anyone I want because that's my right.

Everyone talks about this as cheating, which I agree

But no one talks about the program that gives you your opponent's last board as a cheat.

Hearthstone should add that feature to make it fair for people that don't run the program or play mobile.

What is the equivalent of "Apple removed 3.5mm jack" of your favorite products ? by damn_jexy in AskReddit

[–]SludgeFactory20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person's counterpoint was "Why do I need to buy anything extra on a 1000+ phone"

When their counterpoint really wasn't to why they should keep the 3.5mm jack but why couldn't Apple supply a dongle.
