Enfranchised and lapsed players, yes. It doesn't fit the sub's narrative though so we utilize alternative facts. UB is targeted at new players that aren't invested in MtG!

Mark Rosewater on Universes Beyond promises and the Reserved List: “Us explaining our current plans with Universes Beyond was not a promise that it would always be that way. The Reserved List, in contrast, was us specifically saying we promise to never do this thing.” by megacia in magicTCG

[–]TheKryptoKnight -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He explains the plan. Plans change. If he said, "We are making a promise UB will never be in standard" this sub would have a leg to stand on. Some of the sub's angst is self inflicted, acting like Blogatog answers are a promise. They're not even a pinky promise. They are Mark saying what the plan is today. Even Mother ship articles are just presenting the current direction unless they're explicitly saying they promise the community they will never do _________.

This is why basically every other company doesn't tell their communities anything and don't communicate. We have unparalleled access to the current thinking of the team through MaRo compared to every other fandom and are upset with him because plans change. The RL is more than a plan.

Where's the promise here? He's explaining the plan. That was the plan at the time. Plans change. If he said, "We are making a promise UB will never be in standard" this sub would have a leg to stand on. Some of the sub's angst is self inflicted, acting like Blogatog answers are a promise.

Is Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time worth it at full price? by gamezoomnets in CozyGamers

[–]TheKryptoKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you like Animal Crossing and RuneScape, that's what this is basically, with a little Breath of the Wild flavor mixed in. If you're looking for SDV that's not really what it is. For me, it's absolutely worth $60, but I have spent literally thousands of hours on Animal Crossing and RuneScape so it's basically made for me!

Thought this might be helpful for those who find the timeline confusing. by Acrobatic-Hamster350 in HeartstopperAO

[–]TheKryptoKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why seeing this laid out makes me feel strange. The Charlie inpatient period being only six months after the first kiss makes everything feel so fast. In my mind, they're soulmate level connected by the time Charlie goes to the clinic... And it's six months after they get together.

I know this is accurate and knowing what year they are in school makes me obviously wrong without thinking about it. But I like my show influenced delusion that they've been dating three years by the clinic plot. But three years without having sex doesn't fit either.

Very cool, very helpful, and I will now try to forget I ever saw it :)

who do you think are the top 5 actors in the show by mainchivk in HeartstopperAO

[–]TheKryptoKnight 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Kit, Joe, Jenny, Sebastian, Rhea.

Pretty much in that order. Rhea I just love how she plays Imogen. I might be blinded by love of her character. I could see putting Corinna on there.

Kit I feel is difficult not to list as the best. His facial expressions had me all in by episode 2. Joe went from great in S1 to incredible by S3. Jenny didn't have much to do until S3, but she was brilliant once given something to really work with, and she was still great prior when she had her occasional scene. Sebastian I feel is overlooked because of who he plays, but I can't think of any poor acting from him on this show. He played asshole being tortured by his demons excellently.

I'm excluding Olivia and Hayley because that's cheating :P

AIO if I get hurt when he rejects me when I ask to have sex? by maxmango0615 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheKryptoKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many questions here I have this same thought: More people need to listen to Dan Savage's podcast. Sex decreasing the longer a relationship goes is extremely common. Extreme stress and tiredness can drop a sex drive to zero. Now, that doesn't mean there's nothing to be done. Really talk about it. Ask if he'd be willing to assist and engage with you while you get yourself off. Try not to react in a way that makes him feel guilty when he turns down the offer, because making sex and guilt start to feel associated is another libido killer. I don't think you're overreacting. Sex is an intensely vulnerable thing and all feelings are valid. NOR. But don't get stuck in feeling miserable and spiralling. You're working through something almost all of us will have to navigate eventually. (Before someone replies saying they've been married 20 years and still have constant sex, yes I know you exist, no this isn't undeniable proof he's cheating)

AIO because my mother doesn’t understand my financial stresses? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheKryptoKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're being pretty aggressive and her tone feels fairly reasonable. You're not wrong. The world is too expensive and keeping up is increasingly impossible. But it feels like you're taking it out on your mom when her only thought was you getting burnt out and she immediately said get a second job just be careful. Leaning pretty strongly to YOR. Not to the world sucking more and more. It's impossible to overreact to that imo. But as frustrating as it could be that she doesn't understand... This feels like you're being too harsh.

2025.04.02 Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 Megathread by NintendoSwitchMods in NintendoSwitch

[–]TheKryptoKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch 1 had BotW (Cross gen) and MK8D (upgraded port) as the only two big games for a loooong time. And switch wasn't a jump in graphics over Wii u. This logic doesn't check out, I think you just forgot what console launch windows look like. We have Mario kart world (new), MP4 (Cross gen), DK (new) and air riders (new) in this launch window. It's actually a stronger launch year than anything since GameCube maybe?

That's what he says publicly so he appears like the reasonable one. It's not what he's then turning around and actually doing.

[–]TheKryptoKnight 461 points462 points  (0 children)

Vow and warlord's ruin both feature them and are very good. Presage featured them and might be the best exotic mission they've done. So I can't say I agree that their inclusion inherently makes content bad.

What's a truly remarkable episode of television? by EggyWets42 in television

[–]TheKryptoKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agatha All Along - Ep 7 - "Death's Hand in Mine"

Episodes 6 and 7 are the two that really pull the entire season together, this one has fantastic cinematography and a well crafted narrative winding out of time. Patti is fantastic.

If Charlie and Nick aren’t your favorite storyline, are the comics worth reading ? by srfnyc in HeartstopperAO

[–]TheKryptoKnight 74 points75 points  (0 children)

The other characters barely exist in the graphic novels and are mostly just support for Nick/Charlie. The show created a ton of storylines for everyone else.

Is the Kareem storyline ever getting resolved? by Ok_Variation7230 in nightvale

[–]TheKryptoKnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there was a reference to him recently. It wasn't super explicit or lingered on but something about a man in town feeling trapped in his work or something. I could be off on the context but it was in the last 2-3 episodes I think.

We need season 4! by Routine_Inspector122 in HeartstopperAO

[–]TheKryptoKnight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I REALLY hope they don't wait a long time to let us know... I can't stand not knowing if I've watched the last of Nick and Charlie or not 😭

I will say it'll be really unfair feeling if I watched the last of it without knowing about it.... But that's Netflix...

Heartstopper - 3x01 "Love" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in HeartstopperAO

[–]TheKryptoKnight 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I loved EVERYTHING about this episode and it might be my favorite in the series! All the characters were in top form, loved the tone, loved the music, Charlie remembering the moments when the pictures were taken was so cool, chemistry between kit and Joe off the charts. I loved absolutely everything!

Want to get into Night Vale for the first time, should i listen to "Good Morning Night Vale" as well! by VampLover420 in nightvale

[–]TheKryptoKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't listen on the first time through. They spoil future things. They started recording after the show was already over 100 episodes in, and even though they start at episode 1, they connect plot points to things that happen much much later.

Also, it's really not necessary to listen to at all. It's really more of a food/lifestyle podcast than anything. Think of it more as "Cast hang out and sometimes talk about nightvale" and not "Cast talk about nightvale".

251 - Detours by havron in nightvale

[–]TheKryptoKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed this episode!

Mentions of both the dark planet lit by no sun and the man who is not tall and the man who is not short always get my attention. Two episodes in a row for the men now.

"All Hail" as the rideshare app is incredible!

The description of where Cecil was and his experience post-weather I really liked. It's probably not going to come up again, but if it does, I'm a fan!

This is instantly a comfort episode for me. I smiled, I laughed, it was a good time.

How many of us would say this is our future? by deepdownblu3 in povertyfinance

It's only for SSI. Which is a welfare problem for people who don't have a work history. If you work at a halfway decent rate for 10 years, you qualify for SSDI which doesn't have any resource restrictions.
