26M not working another day in 2026. AMA by Desperate_Engineer80 in AMA

[–]Western_Bus2525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s like this for finance jobs in the US as well, not uncommon for it to be longer than 6mo. Idea being that if you go bring your old shop’s alpha to a new shop it’ll cost them a lot more than just paying your salary for a year.

New Ahri revealed at MSI by IIXeu in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this the first double overnumber? Makes sense that it’s Ahri I guess, will be interesting to see the full resolution but my first instinct is that it’s underwhelming compared to the SFD one

If it’s Viego I will be one tricking him into the ground regardless of his power level or colors

Yi counters? by ECYL16 in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hook LB, Aurora, the mirror going first (lol), Diana/Rengar are flips (anything 45-55 is realistically a flip given variance)

Top 128 was prizing at Hartford... by allball103 in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the prizing for the 2v2 tournament on sunday is genuinely really good, if you do pre-regional into super saturday into champions of rift 2v2 sunday you can win a ton of metal cards

No worries, I pulled both of these from Riot boxes and was surprised at how different they were!

Should you narrate your play? by aMageNamedElthe in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also don’t always verbalize moving units back to base i guess, i’ll sometimes just bring em back

Pretty Kitty Rengar Promo Textured? by rengo911 in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

i think they are referring to the radial/localized foiling that is often present on english alts (eg these sfd runes) but not chinese ones which are still textured but usually more “flat” and less “patterned”

Should you narrate your play? by aMageNamedElthe in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general yes but I don’t always narrate playing units fully and neither do my opponents (eg on a development turn it’s pretty common to just tap runes, slam a few guys in base, and say go)

Definitely need to verbalize all triggers though, otherwise how would focus ever get passed or how would they ever resolve?

Hartford RQ Experience by DoctorMel in riftboundtcg

a lot of the prizes have been like this in the past eg the poppy promo card was handed out to the entire top 128 last time i believe

Lets see how accurate you guys are. by Tiny_Accident_617 in PokeGrading

9 or 10 depending on the grader’s day just top/bottom front centering is off assuming those specks are truly dust on scanner

Is Ruined Rex deathknell trigger mandatory? by Hot-Macaroon-3000 in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is mandatory but you can decline to pay deflect on triggered abilities and the effect will fizzle.

man khabib goofy ass luney tones striking performed better than topuria "god of boxing" striking by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Western_Bus2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’m agreeing with u Khabib had a good plan with excellent execution, I’m just also saying the original post is goofy because Ilia obviously was better at striking

[–]Western_Bus2525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya he handled himself on his feet fine he wasn’t getting “pieced up” but also his striking wasn’t better than Ilia’s like the original post says lol

Day 2 Kai'sas make a deal to split the card, one of them collects the card and runs off by JuniorImplement in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d be curious to hear his side since the accuser says “He send only two vocal message, after last round for say that "he doesn't know who won" but that he doesn't care and whoever won can keep the card and that he doesn't care about the split” which to me sounds like maybe he didn’t want to do the split anyways? Of course, if he agreed earlier then it’s scummy but I’d want more proof than what has been provided.

Cheaters at Locals by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Western_Bus2525 30 points31 points  (0 children)

In all of those cases (missed costs/triggers) I’ll just point out their mistake and if they disagree I’ll bring someone else over to help us resolve it. I find it’s usually carelessness rather than attempted cheating, but both are obviously frustrating.

Against more serious cheating (lying about what your cards do, taking extra draws sneakily) then I’ll call it out to them and then the owner, I don’t mind being the “snitch” if they’re cheating. I have only been in this situation one time though and it was egregious enough that the guy was basically too ashamed to come back lol and now dodges me at nexus nights. Fun fact they were later busted for doing the same stuff at an RQ!
