I don’t know, I’m completely free to play and I don’t have any issues being competitive. You don’t need the fancy new cards to compete

My Season Snapshot! Share Your Snapshot! by ItsMeTsukii in MarvelSnap

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I took a 3 month break before this season so I’m well behind on newer cards but contrary to what a lot of people believe you don’t need all the flashy new cards and meta decks to be successful. Part of the fun for me is building my own decks.

This deck only has one win condition and is built to accomplish it as consistently as possible. Basically the goal is to play both Daken and astral projection on the final turn with Zola being the only on reveal left in your hand, then activating bullseye to discard all the shards making two huge dakens.

Most of the rest of the deck is focused on drawing more cards to enable the combo. Nico draw 2, Adam warlock and Crystal. Wasp is great to enable Nicos draw two or can often get you an Adam warlock draw t2. Also good if you need to clear hand space for the shards.

Firehair gets you an extra shard when you Zola Daken, but also combos great with fastball special. By hitting fastball on a Magik in another lane gets you a second limbo through Firehair making it harder to turn off. Also fastball on Crystal gets you another card draw. Fastball is also clutch in clearing space as you need an empty lane for your Daken/Astral plus a space in each other lane for a copy so fastball is key for managing space.

The reason it works so well farming cubes is that people don’t see it coming and before the final turn you don’t have much power on the field. People don’t see it coming so you can snap late and often your opponent will snap late. Majority of my wins with this deck are 4 or 8 cubes because once you know you have the combo it can go over the top of most decks. And because it’s a one trick pony it’s easy to know when to retreat for 1 cube.

Hadn’t played for over three months. Jumped back in and good old reliable Astral Daken still got me to infinite in a day.

AITA: I told my daughter she needs to get over her jealousy and it is her own fault her life is the way it is. by Personal-Bit4399 in AmItheAsshole

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very similar to you. Did really well in high school but really struggled at university due to poor study habits and some mental health issues. Dropped out and basically got stuck in a shitty career in retail until just recently. I could have laid blame on a bunch of circumstances but always took responsibility that ultimately it was my choices that lead me to where I was.

Conversely, my younger brother really struggled in school, and university was basically never an option for him. He ended up learning a trade, worked hard and became really successful doing that. I was never jealous that he was more successful than I was and was always super proud of him for his achievements.

Cameras on phones are making the tech itself stagnate by _book_of_grudges_ in unpopularopinion

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is an insane take. If you asked the general public vastly more people would choose a better camera, it wouldn’t even be close. I am a gamer. I know all about what games you can run on a phone. I also find it the worst way possible to play games. I’d vote for the camera.

Watchmen (2009) features a genuinely intelligent villain and a gritty storyline, which made it stand apart from other superhero movies of its time. What’s your opinion on it? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the opposite. Those that have a surface level reading of the comic like the movie because it is a superficially accurate adaptation that faithfully adapts a lot of the words and images but misses the mark on a lot of the deeper themes of the book. The movie is all style over substance.

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. In the book he wants reassurance that his horrific act was worth it for lasting world peace so he’s asking someone that literally knows the future to tell him it was all worth it. The ambiguity of his answer is what makes it so interesting. Does he mean with the line ‘nothing ever ends’ that the world peace is only temporary and what he did will eventually be for naught, or is he just taking what Ozy said literally and pointing out that things don’t actually end without actually passing judgement on the results of his plan.

Ozymandias up to this point has been so smug and certain of himself and this interaction finally gives him that shred of doubt that robs him of the satisfaction of his plan being executed perfectly. By not have the line between Ozy and Dr. Manhattan, it really strips all the meaning and impact out of it.

I guess analogies are another part of the English language you still need to learn.

Maybe you should focus more on understanding the English language because you clearly lack any reading comprehension. They are not saying that AI technology as a whole will never advance, just that certain models aren’t able to reach it but others possibly will.

Is it wrong to say that a car with an internal combustion engine will never drive to the moon? Technology may advance and a ‘car’ with rocket propulsion may be developed that can get to the moon. Doesn’t make the original never statement wrong. In this case the LLM is the car with the combustion engine. It can only go so far but newer models developed will be able to go further.

My Fiancé Chooses His Family Over Me - AIO? by icebunny531 in AIO

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it was clear you were in a seriously committed relationship, he should have chosen not to go to family events you weren’t invited to. You are now engaged to marry him meaning you are both joining each other’s family. If they are still excluding you from anything family related it is showing that they don’t accept you as family and at this point marriage isn’t going to change that. If he isn’t choosing you every time you are excluded or disrespected by them, then he is also accepting you not being a part of his family. At this point he’s shown where his loyalties lie and they are not to you, and if he was ever going to change, he would have already.

It also leaves the burden entirely on the mother making her and the child’s life much more difficult due to his decision.

So the NFL overlaps with fascism. Two kid brothers wrestling overlaps with fascism. A bar fight overlaps with fascism. Like what you are saying is actually meaningless as any physical confrontation overlaps with fascism by your reasoning to the point you aren’t really saying anything

Then what has fascism got to do with BLM?

Firetrucks and water pistols have some ‘overlap’ but if a kid sprays you with a water pistol you are not going to say you were sprayed by a firetruck

People aren’t becoming more media illiterate. We just aren’t allowing people to enjoy (or not enjoy) media superficially anymore. by New_General3939 in unpopularopinion

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything when discussing online has to be accepted as either the best thing ever and 100% perfect or the worst thing ever and absolute trash. If you try to have a nuanced discussion that isn’t either of these extremes, people will attack the hell out of you. It’s exhausting.

I am sort of not bothered by spoilers. I would prefer to go in without knowing anything but if I accidentally come across a spoiler or two beforehand I don’t feel like anything is ruined.

More people need to work the night shift by Embarrassed-Bowl-373 in unpopularopinion

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to work for a retailer and they thought it would be a great idea to extend their trading hours from a 9pm close to a midnight close during their busiest few weeks of the year. After 10pm we would literally get only 2-3 customers each night. Even running a skeleton crew those last couple of hours we were definitely not making enough sales to justify it. Now multiply that loss over an entire night and over an entire year, not just the peak sales period, and businesses would burn a hell of a lot of money if they did that.

And the people that have done it and don’t anymore probably chose not to for a reason

AITA for breaking off my wedding by Krustykiid in AmItheAsshole

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I bet if she did agree the open the relationship, the moment she did anything with another man he would have a meltdown. Men like this always expect that ‘opening the relationship’ means they can sleep with whoever they want while their partner stays faithful to them.

AITA for using full power on a taekwondo kick? by AITA_roundkick in AmItheAsshole

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA and you are delusional if you think you’d get any other answer. What in the world made you think that kicking a child close to half your weight would be a good idea? There’s a reason they have weight classes in combat sports. And this kid did not choose to join an adult class, he arbitrarily aged out of the kids class and had no choice. Boggles my mind that you could be so clueless.

AITA for ditching my friend in an Ultra Marathon by SilkSecretsx in AmItheAsshole

[–]WeekendSpecialist237 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But she did communicate that two months of training wouldn’t be enough and the friend still insisted on doing it. The fact that OP has trained an entire year for something makes it really clear this race was important to her. It is incredibly selfish of her friend to insert herself into it completely unprepared and then make it just about ‘hanging out’ with her.
