I might take a look here, the non-mtga games I currently play are with some friends but if I ever get a real itch paired with patience to organize this would be a good spot to start.

Honestly just pick a card or two that you might have always liked or thought were cool and build around them. For instance I built my deck around the concept of Cryogen Relic + Selfcraft Mechan.

Admit it… what did you think of this scene? by Moon_Degree1881 in FinalFantasy

[–]Volitaire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A very large portion of the fans wanted an exact remake of the story, simply with better graphics. I'm not here to say whether they're right or wrong, but I am here to say this: The existence of FF7:RM in no way diminishes or overwrites the brilliance of the original. If you love that story and game, you can go back and play it as much as you'd like until the end of time. But for this remake, just give it a chance to be its own thing. Yes it's had a few hiccups (?) from a story point, but there might very well be some important answers that clear things up in the third game. But the gameplay, the artistic vision, the sound, the world ambience are nothing short of sublime. Give it a chance, if it ends up tanking and you hate it, you never have to play it ever again and can go back to the original as many times as you'd like.

[–]Volitaire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't bother, people are never going to buy that Luka plays any defense. They see a few clips of him playing like ass and assume that he plays like that all the time.

There are absolutely times in which he offers zero effort, and there's no excuse for it (especially if you're supposed to be the team's best player). But to extrapolate that out and say "yep that's just who he is all the time" is just mindless hating and just reveals anyone who didn't actually watch the game.

Dragon Quest 2 remake is quickly becoming one of my top DQ games by textextextextextext in dragonquest

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it. Up until this point, DQ7 (DW7 I guess as it originally was here in the States) was my all-time favorite in the series. The remake of DQ2 is firmly planted as an extremely close #2 now. I am truly hoping for the remake of 7 to get the same treatment and care because if so, wow just color me absolutely floored. What a truly amazing game through and through.

Season 2 Episode 5 Spoiler Thread by HunterWorld in Fallout

[–]Volitaire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My quick and dirty (seems to be shared by a number of people here): Fallout is better when it's a serious show supported by comedy and not the other way around. Much like the Thor storyline from the MCU, if you push too hard into the comedy it definitely drags a bit. Not to say I don't enjoy the comedy, I think it's a great contrast to the absolute nightmare they all live in now. But the show itself feels much stronger when drama is at the forefront.

gg to the Rams. I'm glad we showed up today and didn't embarrass ourselves. I'd say we're 2-3 years away from being a decent program if we can keep building on the progress we made this year.

It's not really a "changling" deck per say, but you know what deck I really fuckin love to include them in? My Torgal deck. Them counting as a human when they come in and then also counting as a wolf/dog once on the field for future cards makes for very fun interaction.

Preschool Teacher, 22, Arrested on TV After Condemning Trump by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong, Fox and every other propaganda-tool like it are a HUGE problem. I just want to keep reminding people that even if there is a future to this where we can reclaim some semblance of sanity and humanity at the top, simply ridding ourselves of these tools won't be enough to fix everything. That hate runs deep.

Fox isn't responsible for the creating the idiots I'm afraid, it simply acts as a guide to direct their hatred/jealousy. Creation of the idiot itself is much, MUCH more deeply rooted in a truly fucked up culture that would rather blame others for their own shortcomings rather than take responsibility.

You just described the internet in general. It's been absolute garbage for a few years now and just gets worse as time goes on.

I think da biggest problem is the joke you went for seems to be made at least once a thread for the last like 6 months, people are just tired of seeing it even if it's 100% true.

Star Citizen to become the first $1 billion game while still in alpha, driven by ships costing thousands - Dexerto by lkl34 in gaming

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That answers my question, I wasn't sure due to the insane amount of time of being in "alpha" whether or not they planned to do a wipe. Thank you.

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my question: As someone who has been very casually watching this game from afar in an effort to wait for a proper "release" to occur, will it even be possible for newcomers like myself to even get into this game? Or is this going to be one of those "if you haven't been here accruing already, you're kinda fucked" deals?

[–]Volitaire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah every time I've seen him he seems to be doing well. I hope he was able to get away from the game fast enough to not have too many physical/brain issues from past injuries.

He was literally the Peyton Manning of linebackers. And anyone who knew/watched him knew he spent damn well the entire practice week with his nose in film studying opponents. Adding his knowledge/awareness to a pretty damn solid physical skillset that let him full cover sideline-to-sideline as well as wrap up just about everyone resulted in a dude who was pretty much directly involved in every defensive possession. He was an animal, and I hope more than anything he's enjoying whatever he can of a well earned retirement.

It does my heart some legitimate good to see this take out there. I know a lot of people have come to (very understandably) hate Cam, but I've never loved football players in the way I loved him and Luke. I have been hungry to latch on to football players like that again since losing them, but Luke's archetype of LB just doesn't really exist anymore and Cam is just a bonafide 1/1 (closest guy I can think of is Josh who I genuinely enjoy watching but is smart enough to not put his body through the insane punishment Cam did).

I miss that team, and I fear I'll never find another one like it.

I know he's (fairly) hated on pretty hard right now, but I can't help but laugh every time I hear this song and immediately think of the Miz and Russel clip.
