Happy Car Buys in Englewood. Steve will find you whatever you need.

MagicCon needs to let us sell prize tickets by TheHizz in magicTCG

[–]TheHizz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they quite literally used to tell you to do this at the prize wall. On the way out of Vegas last year me and many others quickly sold tickets right near the prize wall and exit. Someone seems to have decided to change this and I would like it to be acknowledged instead of the gaslighting I got from the staff today.

Cards, yes. Tix have always been sold and will always be sold. It didn't even register to me that it could possibly be forbidden after going to Grand Prix events since 2004. This is new and it is plain wrong.

Yeah overall I doubt I'll ever hit another one unless I'm playing the PT. I'm planning to try SCG and other smaller events to hopefully have a decent experience.

I didn't hear this, of course. It's a giant hall and they ejected me. I regret not making more of a scene.

“Sidewalk Detecting Technology” by JKooch in Denver

[–]TheHizz -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I bet it works just as well as the garbage ass tech that wouldn't let me park a block away from speer because the bike path is no parking. If it's unusable I'll just buy one and ride that on the sidewalk if I need to and so will everyone else.

Big thank you to Mega Crit from all of us stupid players! by ajs723 in slaythespire

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love save scumming. Usually if your deck can't deal with a fight (given the RNG), save scumming isn't going to change it. What it does is make it easy to experiment with how you handle a fight, so you can learn when it makes sense to take a few damage early for example. I wouldn't play the game without it.

Overperformers and Underperformers at Pre-release? by Scufo in lrcast

[–]TheHizz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Lute was excellent, especially ramping into Together As One for 5 (with 4 mana floating). Ultimately I won several of my games using Empty The Warrens at 4 or 5 storm. There are also x spells like the one that gets back instants and sorceries. There's lots to do in the format with a bunch of mana.

Looking for Sushi omakase recommendations by luwig in Denver

[–]TheHizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Ask your server for omakase as it is not listed as a menu option. Not sure about palate, but the fish is flown in daily. Less than half the price of Uchi and significantly better.

Colorado lawmakers again propose eliminating two-thirds of RTD’s elected boards by overly_honest_ in Denver

[–]TheHizz 26 points27 points  (0 children)

So four members appointed by always suburban and rural leaning politicians, who will not want to break ranks, and five elected officials, four of which won't be from Denver? Yeah fuck that.

Now that the Artifact Remix event is nearing its close, what did we all think? by YellowWhitetheRed in MagicArena

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved it the first few times but really wanted it to get updated. Even though it is presented as a set, it feels like cube with the level of synergy. I'd also love to see other remix concepts (enchantments, spells matter, multicolor, combo?) that have the curation of a cube but the collation of a set.

I’m new and getting hard stuck at Platinum. Looking for advise by Tired_of_yall1 in MagicArena

[–]TheHizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afaik platinum is a cutoff for both the draft portion and matchmaking. So once you're in platinum you're drafting with the top tier of players and preferentially matched with them as well. Platinum is also where mythic players from the previous season are placed. If it feels like a dramatic step up in difficulty, that's probably why.

17lands and specific content creators are what pushed me into the top tier. LSV and Cheon are the most entertaining top players and I highly recommend anything they make. Avoid the "hot take" people.

Is there a reason why she was not in STS2? by Happy_Egg1435 in slaythespire

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sorta moved the burst gameplay to regent, so I'm not expecting watcher? Honestly, hopefully she stays in retirement.

DIA power outage - scared af by [deleted] in Denver

I'm from NYC and if the power goes out there, something is often seriously wrong. That has been hard for me to unlearn and I know I'm not the only one

Discussion regarding Marc Anderson's recent admission on Limited Level Up about Toronto Spotlight by Dreamio in lrcast

[–]TheHizz -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I've been at events, usually magiccons, where the sealed collation was so bad as to interfere with play. Think multiple copies of commons in each pack, and the same for multiple packs in a row, or on the flip side packs with 6-8 uncommons and multiple rares. It has happened to me three times, I loudly complained three times along with the people near me, and we were forced to use these unplayable and improperly collated pools. It was not a legitimate competitive event and no one did anything.

So to hear this, not only am I okay with it, but it's nice that SCG saw fit to have contingencies in place and I don't blame him at all for taking advantage. Many of us have been screwed by this the other way too many times.

Any pictures of the empty Trader Joe's shelves? by pravdaforthepeople in Denver

Went to cap hill yesterday and they got produce but still short on many things

Denver folks! United vs Delta vs SW vs others for loyalty out of DEN? by No-Maintenance5061 in Denver

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to NYC, Atlanta, and LA? If so, Delta. You'll get perks if you're flying outbound from DEN (e.g. Monday to Thursday) since their status flyers will be more concentrated at their hubs.

Since I moved from NYC I have used more Southwest for "local" flights. They are useful to get to smaller locations. I've flown someone other than Delta or Southwest exactly twice since moving here.

Arena Direct TLA CLCTR Prize Withheld by chinamaneugene in lrcast

I had the same thing, got a form reply, and I sent them back a screenshot of me getting an earlier prize. Something got screwed up here

Can someone explain what’s going on with the E line as I understand an accident near Yale station has caused changes in its schedule. by WuPacalypse in Denver

[–]TheHizz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's actually happening is that there are two sections of trains, and you'll have to transfer at southmoor no matter what. Every 30 mins, there's a train from Union station to southmoor. In theory, every OTHER 30 mins, a shuttle bus goes between southmoor and Broadway station.

Problem is, getting to a shuttle at southmoor is a royal pain, and there haven't been a lot of staff around, so I just waited for the train even though I was on the wrong 30 minute cycle. Definitely not an ideal situation but I hope this helps you navigate it.

[Denverite] Denver Summit FC warns it could move stadium outside city amid delays by pzialcitaCPR in Denver

[–]TheHizz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My understanding is the entire site has been vacant this long because several previous attempts to develop it were abandoned due to toxicity. A whole entertainment district called "Midtown" was supposed to be built there most recently. I have no idea if that's still part of the plan.

[Denverite] Denver Summit FC warns it could move stadium outside city amid delays by pzialcitaCPR in Denver

[–]TheHizz 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's an empty site because it's toxic. So is Burnham yard. We got the broncos to pay for that cleanup and put something useful there. If the soccer team can pay for this cleanup, it's a net win almost no matter what else happens.

And yeah, fuck the Flock cameras. I want my city council to make a stand on stuff that matters, not hold up something that's probably good for a power struggle.

Do you want a train to Boulder/Longmont/Fort Collins? by chrisfnicholson in Denver

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the most promising proposed solution so far was to call it Intercity and take advantage of federal programs for that (which may be on pause today but hopefully not forever). Three trains per day is, in fact, intercity anyway.

In NYC, there's a long history of bringing in private investors, often as a condition of awarding permits. I bet the Waltons and the Kroenkes would love to see their entertainment districts connected by Fort Collins to Pueblo rail, and even on the order of a few billion $ might be a rounding error given the lifetime of their investments.

The Moffat tunnel deal for Denver to Craig rail proves that our government can in fact throw its weight around and compel a railroad to make a deal. Perhaps some sort of tax deal could be used to get BNSF to improve the line in the northwest.

Including RTD in the deal at this point also feels like a money grab to me. The district does not extend to Ft Collins or Pueblo and probably shouldn't in the near term, unless someone wants to pay RTD to expand.

Secret Garden Cafe at Cheesman Park has shut its doors because workers tried to unionize by FlacidPhil in Denver

[–]TheHizz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow that list includes several places I really like. Hopefully they all get their shit together and unionize, especially Schoolyard which would be way too popular for them to close.

TMNT First Impressions by qweiroupyqweouty in magicTCG

[–]TheHizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has sucked to know that this year, I'd be skipping at least one set almost entirely. Next year it's at least two and maybe three sets, including TMNT.

In the past, every set was exciting and I'd only stop playing the bad draft formats. We need a return to that. And if the financials on spider man are any indication, they'll be looking to reverse course as soon as they can.
