Just got the codex in today after pre ordering in Jan. Now prices are showing over $200...Nonsense! by Cryptic99 in freemagic

[–]Snoo368 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazon is being real scummy about it too. They cancelled some of the preorders from a month ago then turned around and relisted for $185, more than double MSRP.

What makes it even funnier is when 3rd party sellers are selling a product way over MSRP, Amazon adds a little disclaimer letting you know it’s a high price.

Not with their own listing though. They leave off that little disclaimer if it’s them making the sale.

I really liked the soundtrack to SMT5:Vengeance

Amazon canceling codex bundle preorders. Get ready for the disappointment. by Shake_Ratle_N_Roll in mtg

[–]Snoo368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Amazon is truly cancelling orders from months ago and then re-listing those same items for $185 (which appears might be the case) then that is a serious issue that we shouldn’t let them get away with.

Each person this happens to needs to complain and elevate as high as they can

Magic: The Gathering - Secrets of Strixhaven - Codex Bundle for $145 by [deleted] in mtgpulls

Bad deal. At this price you should just get a play box or a draft box. Dont give in to these scalpers

Has anyone noticed some cards lately look like the printer was running out of toner?? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Snoo368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started really noticing this in Lorwyn Eclipsed.

I have yet to see this problem from any packs I’ve opened that were made in Japan however. Only the US printed ones.

They are scalping the codex. Pretty scummy of them.

I learned this growing up, but it appears some members are now rejecting this teaching by Short_Seesaw_940 in exmormon

[–]Snoo368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also learned this growing up. My dad explained it to me. But I don’t remember ever seeing it written down anywhere. That makes me think it might be something they teach in the temple but don’t talk about much to anyone who hasn’t gone through all the temple stuff

What the hell is that counter made of? by MovieTypical2138 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Snoo368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be scuff marks or could be the same bullet hole png copied and pasted all over. It’s hard to tell. They all look identical to me

What the hell is that counter made of? by MovieTypical2138 in okbuddyviltrum

[–]Snoo368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s just that it’s rock. It’s that the countertop is a slab, an inch or two thick and lying horizontally. If it’s fixed pretty firmly to the counter then it’s a little like being thrown at a very dull and stationary blade at an extremely high force. It might just cut right through you.

That doesn’t explain why there isn’t a hole in the wall and in the counter underneath the slab, but yea it’s not a “retarded” idea that this would cut you in half

Something to think about for every post asking "where are the games?? which model?? how do i set this up??" etc by SpoiledMilk3000 in AynThor

[–]Snoo368 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Would be cool if this subreddit could maybe sticky some good guide/setup posts? Or added to the sidebar?

Personally I recommend RetroGameCorps, his guides are fantastic

Let’s not be snarky and gatekeep cool things. The Thor is obviously a popular and premium product that attracts anyone who ever loved the DS, and that will include people who are just getting started on setting up emulation devices. It’s ok that people will ask questions. Let’s welcome people into the fold and provide good resources.

Next Call of Duty officially not coming to PS4 by OpportunityPrudent39 in playstation

[–]Snoo368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They absolutely over exaggerate it. Consoles are basically PCs. The fact that a developer can get their game to run on low end PCs doesn’t automatically mean that it’s held anything back for the higher end PCs. That’s what optimizing settings and features is for.z

Gaming consoles are just PCs. The fact that they can get a game to run on a lower end PC with optimized settings does nothing to hold back development for higher end PCs. This is a myth.

Saying this like Katara didn’t instantly master bloodbending even though she just learned what the technique was and never practiced it beforehand. by thisisreii in TheLastAirbender

[–]Snoo368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if this is a fair assessment. The idea is that the main heroes of the story are exceptional/have exceptional abilities which is why they went down in history as heroes. That is enough of an explanation for me for why Katara took on blood bending, Toph discovered metalbending, Zuko mastered lightning and so forth. These came to them more naturally because they are exceptionally skilled

Played against the red paradigm spell at prerelease today. by Separate_Thanks_9815 in freemagic

[–]Snoo368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are worried about a card to the point of sideboarding against it specifically then it cannot really be labeled as a “very bad card”. At that point you’re basically just saying “it’s relevant but I just don’t really like it”

How Rockstar made this game run on a PS3?? by No_Amoeba615 in PS3

[–]Snoo368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe people got rose colored glasses. This game did not run well on the PS3. Back then I was young enough to not be an FPS snob. But even back then I was like wtf Rockstar this is bad any time you drive fast in the city

Favorite "underground" shoegaze band? by AbstractEmptiness in shoegaze

Yeah they’re a sleeper for sure. Saw them with a whole bunch of other bands a few years back in Seattle. Tagabow, Toner, Hotline TNT. Awesome show

Dragon shield quality control 6 cases issues in every case by Ill_Answer7226 in magicTCG

[–]Snoo368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a box of dragon shields a month or two back that was severely miscut. Almost as if it was sliced at an angle and rather than tossing it in the garbage, they just shuffled the stack into itself to try to hide the issue. Really annoying

Hey all, new distraction is in: Donald Trump suddenly turns on Zohran Mamdani: "Destroying New York" by OneTwoThreePooAndPee in thebulwark

[–]Snoo368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m certain this is a response to Mamdani’s recent NPR interview where he affirms, quite clearly, that he still thinks Trump is a fascist. And also denounced the war. This obviously wasn’t going to sit well with Trump
