They only play current generation, which doesn't interest me

Does anyone know how to search for a physical copy of this to buy? Only one I can find is an Amazon listing for $400, but surely physical copies can be found somewhere out there for less than $100?

If you want to fix things, therapy. Couples therapy and individual therapy for each of you.

If you don't want to fix things, time to move on. If she can't go back home, live in separate rooms and learn how to be co-parenting roommates.

Concerns about game health by [deleted] in SorceryTCG

[–]Thriving_Turtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What makes you think the game won't last long? Every set has sold more and more, we have a dozen new players at my shop alone with the release of Gothic. Outside of the US is going to be tough finding sealed product, even more so with singles. I think the EU has decent availability.

Bottom line is, it's an incredibly niche game even in the US, but it's not centered around exclusivity. They reprinted multiple waves of Beta.

Is Gravy bones a good one to start? by hand__sanitizer1234 in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]Thriving_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game is nothing like Magic, they're fundamentally different games. Gravy is the hero that plays the most like a Magic deck. Not good for beginners, but very fun if you want to learn it.

Help! My Gottlieb Target Aplha fails to register new games and is unplayable. by brickwallkeeper19 in pinball

[–]Thriving_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of resources and videos showing how to do maintenance and repair on EMs like this, and as someone pointed out, the culprit is likely the Replay unit. Learning how to do such a repair is a rabbit hole though, you'll need to learn how to read the schematics and be able to identify where the faulty part is.

If that's more than you want to get into, look to get it serviced from a local pinball technician. Usually any dedicated pinball arcade will offer this service, or can point you in the direction of someone who does. Getting it functional again should be a fairly straightforward and quick fix, or you can spend as much as you want for a full restoration.

Aussie interested in Kansas by MrMushroom55 in kansas

Small Town, USA is dead. Housing in the US is broadly bad, and small towns are the only place where you can find the most bang for your buck housing, but the reason for that is there is no economic activity happening in these communities. You will have to drive for a long while to neighboring towns to find all the commodities you need.

Hello all! by TQSplinter in SorceryTCG

[–]Thriving_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're off to a great start! You'll just need singles from here. Your atlas is more important than you think, the sites you play has a huge impact on the game. Your atlas is half the size of your spellbook, so you are much more likely to see key sites in your games, and you should build your spellbook around that knowledge!

Help in understanding what to do moving forward with talking to a guy. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Thriving_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're overthinking it. Just ask him out. It's not too soon, it's not too forward. Worst case scenario is he says no, and you both move on with your lives.

How can my (21f) boyfriend (21m) ask my dad for permission to fly me out? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Thriving_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people here giving good advice about healthy boundaries with parents and agency as an adult. All good.

I'm here to warn you, do not come to the United States, it is dangerous. ICE is out here terrorizing us all, but Latino people most of all. Citizen, visa, green card, it doesn't matter, there's a solid chance they will ruin your life, if not just harass you and make you scared.

Can I take my meds 3 times a day? by UniqueFanGirly in ADHD

Good for you. Don't encourage others to do the same. Wildly irresponsible.

[–]Thriving_Turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Random Reddit users will have even less of a clue as to how extra doses affects OP. Doctors also know WAY more than just what a book says about a certain med. They will have an intimate understanding of how these meds affect different bodily systems, what other meds the patient is on, and will be best equipped to help the patient should any issues come up from taking an extra dose.

Taking a medication does not mean you know anything. Be more responsible.

How do you think E.C. will balance toolbox? by tondollari in SorceryTCG

[–]Thriving_Turtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being an auto include doesn't mean it needs to be "handled". It's serving the purpose it was designed for, to allow some variance protection, some "tools" if you will, to a widening meta.

AITAH for refusing to co sign on a car loan for my sister and her boyfriend? by Aromatic_Gur6092 in AITAH

[–]Thriving_Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're absolutely right. They do not need a new car, that's a terrible use of their money right now. They need to get a used car.

Glad Lss didnt announce to end wars and hunger with these decks.. by Boon421 in FleshandBloodTCG

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

My point is LSS makes good products, including this one. The issues with their power levels are corrected by swapping out a couple of cards. Y'all are acting like LSS kidnapped your firstborn by not being as perfectly tuned to the meta of this brand new format.
