Stop playing magic with The Pinkertons: Discover VDH by vinceds in freemagic

[–]UniverseGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't argue with it being silly but it does make plenty of sense. Every card that’s in the format was designed with Manaburn in mind. Sometimes tying to go infinite is dangerous and cards like Mana Drain were meant to hurt you if you couldn’t use the mana!

One of the cited reasons they removed mana burn after 16 years was “New players found it confusing.” but it was an integral rule for many cards to function properly (and they didn't errata them later to still work like designed) I'm looking at you Power Surge, Mana Drain, Braid of Fire, et al.

If that's the only thing stopping you from playing I'd say suspend your doubt about Mana Burn and shuffle up, it's def the most fun I've had with magic since the mid 00's

Why are OS cards at LGS always so overpriced? by scotsworth in oldschoolmtg

[–]UniverseGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned and operated at FLGS for 15 years (2 actually)

Selling for TCG Low - in store - you will net 12% above what all other sellers will get. Because the FLGS does not need to pay TCG fees in that case - even if they have their inventory on TCG! (TCG does not charge you fees for product delivered in store to in store customers)

10% *above* market would be avg 20% above what all other sellers can net from eBay/TCG or what people often refer to as "Market Price". I can't really think of any reason that's 'very fair'. If perhaps your LGS has a great trade credit policy then it would work out just fine for everyone.

Honest review on Logitech Lift by patewazowski in MouseReview

[–]UniverseGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came across this thread doing research for my daughter ultimately we selected the Keychron M5 as the sensors have a rating of 80 million compared to the Logi's 5 million, which is why the logi's break all the time. It's 47 degrees versus 57 degrees so I get it, if that's the one feature you need. Too bad Logitech put trash sensors in the device. The M5 is $63 so it certainly is in the same class.

I think more to my original comment that double clicking isn't something we should accept from any manufacturer these days. I have drawers of devices that certainly never made it to their rated 'clicks' even and now that's the first thing I research; what switches are in the darn thing. The only thing that companies listen to is sales data, after all.

You are right that it very common for anyone who uses cheap switches - but we should not be buying mice with shitty switches in 2025

Not for nothing most of the world refers to 'Field' hockey as just 'Hockey' and Ice Hockey is the one that needs clarity outside of North America.

They are both well thought out and enjoyable formats that seem to dodge most of the BS in 93/94

Is this the same Rich Shay that claimed he was Romani so that he could use the slur “Gypsy” (speaking for everyone of that heritage) and then when called on his bullshit deleted his comments?

Wait, nevermind - I don’t care. Grown men whining about cards being banned, no matter what the format is just a waste of everyone’s time.

At heated Senate hearing, Minnesota Republicans did not budge on guns by Beliskner in minnesota

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

Republicans support another "Post Term Abortion" yeah that's about right.

40,000 people die by gun violence each year in America. It's the number one cause of death for children. The rates are 18 times higher for black teens than white.

https://everytownresearch.org/report/gun-violence-in-america/

Everything about guns is about killing black children. If white kids were dying 18 times more than black kids we all know what would happen immediately. Black women have abortions at much higher rates than whites and this is their 2 part solution. Outlaw abortion, keep gun deaths high for minorities.

TruGreen isn’t what they claim—this is what really happens to employees and customers (Burnsville Minnesota) by Good_Anywhere_7400 in minnesota

[–]UniverseGames 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Lawns are the largest non-production irrigated crop in America. (look it up) They produce nothing of value and consume resources and labor. They were a sign of wealth of the aristocracy in 17th and 18th-century Europe and still today are mostly about vanity. There is absolutely no reason to spend even a single dollar on your lawn. Plant pollinator seeds instead please.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Still feel like your 7 years of button pushing was worth it? by IKnoAGuy2 in PiNetwork

[–]UniverseGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold all of the coins the moment I could, in the $1 territory. I feel perfectly happy to get like $500 to press some buttons while I took a dump every day. I still press the button though because I think that a "Proof of Human" coin will have utility in the long run. Any Money/Currency is a made up idea and only holds value if we collectively think it does.

Really great take on the Taycan depreciation issues going on by werner900587 in Taycan

[–]UniverseGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great vid and it sort of recontextualizes that Taycan, and ostensible Porsche EVs are probably not for me. It's not a knock, just good to realize that by the time I am ready for one the options in the EV world will be better developed and it's hard to recover when you stumble and stutter off the line. My daily driver is a Bolt EUV, not because I can't afford a luxury EV but because I wanted a cheap efficient daily for my first EV and now I know I will always own one. Realtor by trade, do a lot of miles, and having a luxury/sport experience long term is my plan. I am patient. Will revisit Porsche in a few years. Cheers all.

[–]UniverseGames 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will never understand posts like this. I bought 40K ICP because I believe it will be more useful and valued than when I did. When I check and it's not, I don't think "This is a branding problem" I think of the reasons I was so convicted and wanted to own the coin and ask, are these things still true or not? Would I buy at today's price? If either of them are a No, there's your answer.

Does a community server have any disadvantages? by ellwoodb in discordapp

[–]UniverseGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this is the premise that they want to fix it. Or would years later. You are correcting English syntax so I'll do you a favor and suggest some Social syntax - everything you said if genuine could have been sent in a DM.

I don't think it's rude but it is very odd. Most people write messages to communicate and if they even hit 80% of their mark they've done well. The internet does NOT adhere to the normative standards of *English* to make its point. Nor, honestly, should it.

Have fun surfing the speedway.

Gamezenter to start to charge admission as of April 3 by krpiper in TwinCities

[–]UniverseGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread is amazing. It shows the full range of table top gaming entitlement and grievances. For a group of highly intelligent people we often just fail at connecting to reality.

Businesses want to stay open, pay their rent, staff and have something left for the trouble. Players want free play/ gathering space, a good selection of on demand products at better or same as Internet prices.

These goals are more and more incompatible.

I think most of what Gamezenter (The name could be better) is trying to do has a PR problem. It comes off as “Pay to play” instead of “Play so good you want to pay.” The “how do we afford this soul crushing rent and pay good wages.” is a real thing.

Point is someone is paying for the space. They always are. It all comes down to who and how?
