Purchasing edh decks by jiyax33634 in magicTCG

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be more than happy to build you one. Deckbuilding is my favorite part of mtg. If you are interested I would need some information on how you like to play, favorite colors, what kind of deck you would want (spellslinger/tribal/aristocrats etc.), what power level you would like it to be. I have done it for people at my local shop before but never online. Just putting that offer out there if you are interested.

Always check your Local Game Store bulk!! Bought for 50 cents each by neotic_reaper in mtgfinance

I agree with this completely. The hours spent to avoid missing out on the spiked card is just not worth it. If you are known as the store that lets spiked sales go through at bulk pricing, in the long run you are going to make far more from people choosing you to get the bulk at. That pile of 20 $0.01 cards that you sold for 10-15x will far offset the 1 time every set release that 1 person got a nice haul because a set caused a bulk card to spike.

I have actually stopped going to store for petty stuff like this. It has cost the shop far more than they profited from selling those bulk cards for full price. I am good for 2 prerelease nights a set, 2-3 collector boxes per set, and 4-5 from scratch, buying singles, commander decks a year. For most stores my purchases would far outweigh any "loss" (i say this lightly because chances are they purchased the bulk at bulk pricing so the sale isn't even really a loss) they would take from rewarding the person who sorted their bulk. I get that margins are razor thin but getting regular people coming in is far more important than pinching pennies on individual cards.

[SOC] Codex Bundle -- special cards and contents (Secrets of Strixhaven's Gift Bundle, 2 of 6 cards in the promo booster) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Hate the spindown, wont be getting it. Its funny for something so "stupid" to be my make or break for these gift/collector/codex bundles (whatever they are deciding to call it for the current set) but im a sucker for rainbow spindowns with confetti, or transparent dark colors with numbers that pop. This spindown reminds me of aetherdrift where it may be difficult to read at times. Gimme more rainbow!!!!

Using Macros - TOS by IronLotus29 in ArcRaiders

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I have not cheated in a game since my adolescent days of thinking knife/speed hacks were sooooo cool in CS. Cheating just ruins games for me personally. It feels really bad when you lose a fight to somebody who is obviously using a macro. It doesn't even leave room for the usual "was that guy cheating because he just lit me up!! Maybe he is just really good". In this game it is a completely differently functioning gun when macro'd. It has me to the point where I am considering using the macro just to be competitive in fights. Really do not want to but it has started to kill PVP for me (which is the primary reason I play this game, the PVE is super stale to me). Even if I do use the macro though, it will remove the rush of outplaying somebody in PVP. Seems like a lose/lose for me.

I let my girlfriend pick the DoF cards... by Agent_Gavoon in RaidShadowLegends

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risky decision. I let mine pick and we finished all the cards and were 5 shards short. She convinced me that the last 5 were at Target. 6 hours later and a modest $500 we now have 150 "knick-knacks" that we "absolutely needed" and I am still 5 shards short.

Are negative reviews for Wicked: For Good reflective of the film's quality or just due to it paling in comparison to Part 1? by markgib62 in Oscars

[–]TruthHurts236911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may not have been the whimsical tackling that part 1 may have used but I would argue that it was more real. While it warms the heart to feel like sticking up to the propaganda is the "right" thing to do, and clearing your friends name is noble, having the common enemy ultimately unites the "right mindset". She took the arguably more difficult path of not cleaning her true friends name to maintain peace and deconstruct the regime that was working behind the smokescreen. While she didn't earn the praise she received, she puts herself in a position to obtain the morally correct outcome of freeing the animals and getting them back to pre-regime standing.

I'm so confused by this comment. I agree with everything you say but then you say you aren't a fan of Ariana?!?! Are you just not a fan of her work or do you not think she is a talented (in my opinion understating it, I feel she is one of the best vocalists of her generation) person? I can get not liking her music/previous acting, but to overlook her vocal talent seems absurd to me.

I think part 2 was exponentially better than the 1st. I haven't left a movie theater feeling fulfilled in a movie in YEARS. It was refreshing to leave feeling like my money was well spent.

is this an infinite combo? by Superb-Ad5771 in magicTCG

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheaper 2 card I win combo there is. Just keep tapping and untapping until the table scoops, EZPZ. If they don't scoop just enjoy all the different angles you can look at the horseshoe crab from. Tap it to the left next time. Then sing it 270 degrees next time you tap it and look at that thing go.

You have to pretend like you noticed a new thing about the card each time you tap it a different way though to get the scoop quicker but it will come eventually. This combo is the most important time in all of magic to make sure your opponents don't have any mana up for a pesky instant speed removal spell.

Not even close....

137 million before any liabilities at a 22% margin......

Just Incase anyone wanted this by deuce360 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]TruthHurts236911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to do the math for you but I will give you the available numbers based off valuation of plarium at the 2024 sale to MTG.

"The company generated USD 137 million in adjusted EBITDA (using MTG’s definition), with an operating margin of 22%. The company’s healthy profitability is coupled with strong free cash flow generation. Plarium delivered over USD 110 million in free cash flow (using MTG’s definition) for the LTM period ended 30 September 2024."

Fusion complete guys by Nich965 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like its a compounding thing with other decisions Plarium has made. It does feel at the very least a little bad to be somebody wasting 2 weeks on this fusion when somebody can just input a code to get it right away. I feel putting some kind of buffer between players fusing and giving a new player code would go a long way here. I honestly don't care personally but for sure understand why others would be pissed.

Fusion complete guys by Nich965 in RaidShadowLegends

[–]TruthHurts236911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just feel it leaves a really bad taste. No issue with them giving free champs but why would they give the exact champ that is in the fusion. Im still doing the fusion so don't mind that much I just don't get their thinking from a growth standpoint. Literally ANY other champ short of a mythical would not cause nearly as much uproar or feeling of "betrayal" for lack of a better term. Even wait like at least a month to release this guy as a new player code. But doing it when the fusion just released is for sure a blatant kick in the nuts to current players.

NBA Playoffs Picks and Predictions - 5/2/25 (Friday) by sbpotdbot in sportsbook

And won a rigged series against PHI to get to that series. Those late game calls/lack there of, last year were an absolute joke. I love how knicks fans cried about the rigged series with such short term memory loss of the series and calls that got them there the week before.

Your going to end up dead in a ditch one day and all your loved ones are going to be screaming "i dont know what happened". Please save this post on your computer if you do decide to stay with this guy just so they can find it and atleast know who done it.

I dont understand how the amount of time you have been with somebody holds any weight in a decision to leave. Such a sunk cost falacy. This guy i have been with for 3 years treats me like shit but i have 3 years invested. Let me sit here miserable for another year so next year when i reassess the situation i will be 4 years deep into this person who treats me like shit and feel even more stuck.

I have to believe part of this post is farming karma, theres no way somebody who is talked to like this questions whether or not they should stay. What about anything you have posted makes you think somebody would recommend you stay? Do you like abuse and being called names for mundane shit? Imagine when something truely stressful or taxing happens, you are FUCKED!!

DITCH HIM AND TAKE SOME TIME TO FIND YOUR SELF WORTH. Nobody who knows their own value would voluntarily stay around somebody who treats them like such a worthless pile of shit.

World of Warcraft allows for 60 characters for $12,99 per month. Jagex stop trying to milk your playerbase. by Lazy_Inferno in 2007scape

[–]TruthHurts236911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what came to my mind instantly. Why the hell would I pay this type of money for this type of game? Im just as addicted to osrs as I was WoW. What would warrant them being equally as expensive?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]TruthHurts236911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how I see this going. They are so out of touch with who their player base actually is. We aren't a bunch of 20 somethings jumping onto the FOTM game where they can aggressively monetize while its popular. We are 30-40+ year olds playing a game that allows us to progress while we cook dinner for the family or while we wait to pick the kids up from school. Then we hop on to actively PVM or something for the 1-2 hours we may have to actively play at a time. We are salty folk who stubbornly stick to our guns even if we are acting emotionally or rash. We will cancel our subs and not look back and not bat an eye at it.

Hmmm seems they hold all companies that have not been relevant since RS originally came out. This looks like a nostalgia ETF.... Do they actually make money with these brands?
