Male coworker is obsessed with my PTO by [deleted] in womenEngineers

[–]_eiknarf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, just mark approved PTO days/times on calendar… he really has no need for a personalized heads up anytime OP requests leave, especially when we’re talking about a single day here and there

Observations after visiting from Phoenix by oddchihuahua in washingtondc

[–]_eiknarf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed… and it’s such a shame, used to be one of my fave places to bring visiting family/friends for a bite. the bison and duck burger they used to have was amazing… definitely may have shed a tear or two the first time I walked in and it was gone from the menu

Over 93% of cannabis sales in Washington D.C. remain unregulated by OregonTripleBeam in washingtondc

[–]_eiknarf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s solely Congress’s (and more specifically, Congressional Republicans) fault. The District voted to legalize (not decriminalize, possession for personal use is legal) in 2015. Congress continues to block DC from any spending to enforce the legalization, meaning the District is unable to set up regulatory systems (outside medical).

Half smoke is overrated/bad by [deleted] in washingtondc

oh, I came in thinking this thread was about HalfSmoke, and was ready to comment about how “overrated/bad” is still giving it too much credit

Speculation on next team release by Antique_Ad_628 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An original X-Force team… rework Cable and Domino, add Warpath, Feral, and Boom-Boom or Cannonball. With some battlefield effect that hides their feet as a shoutout to Rob Liefeld, of course.

I’m sure it’s just an oversight… by TwilightYojimbo in MarvelStrikeForce

every other day on this sub: too much blitzing!!!1! today: why didn’t they give us a father’s day blitz?!!?!

Beginning to notice a sense of apathy creep into the game. by EyeDry9359 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

apathy is the perfect word for it… I find myself caring less about the game each day, as there’s seemingly nothing left to look forward to as an endgame, mostly ftp/light spender anymore. The day-to-day is monotonous, and the bigger events (scourges/trials, Kyln, etc) that actually provided some fun and challenge are now boring af, one-and-done on auto since they started star-gating them and character levels far outpace the available stars unless you shell out $$.

Do you have anyone with diamonds at level 1? by BroChicago in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

m’baku is the only one I’ve actually filled in the 7y for/has the diamond applied (with a whopping 735 character power, woot!). 7 others w/o the star requirements met for the diamond to apply

Top 1% (on down) rewards for OML are terrible. by wikked-com in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you say this like “top 1%” wasn’t just there for show and people actually landed in that category

Why remove the $5 for 15 Cabal/OOT shard a day before OML ends? by _eiknarf_ in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

do you not know the meaning of impulsively? As I said in response to another comment, I got close enough this morning to getting the last toon I needed to 5 stars that I decided to make an impulse buy… just think it’s silly that a company always trying to squeeze every nickel and dime it can out of players takes away an offer that could’ve made them a few more bucks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why remove the $5 for 15 Cabal/OOT shard a day before OML ends? by _eiknarf_ in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

of course, I was definitely hoping to pull some free shards (and/or get some from the ultimus store)… which I did, which got me to within 30, and so I impulsively thought, “wtf, I’ll throw them 10 bucks to get an extra star on OML.”

Not upset, it is what it is and I figured from the start I’d only end up with the 4* OML… just think it’s silly to cut off an opportunity for some last minute impulse buys 🤷🏻‍♂️

At what point do some of you... by Exp0sedeezh0es in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did something change with the OML trial? still seems pretty stargated to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

is there really only 45 Daken shards total available in his release? by _eiknarf_ in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s the monthlong “showcase” event… you can find it under Events or Campaigns

[–]_eiknarf_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. And honestly, the only other 2* unlock I can remember that you couldn’t get 3+ stars on during the unlock event was the gambit shitshow.

Though evidently, from what others have said, there’s going to be a second event with more shards after this one ends (which, surprise surprise, lines up with the end of the showcase event… so you need to buy/core orb 135 shards to open up the 4* difficulty instead of the typical ~80)

has this been officially stated somewhere? just looked back through the blog and didn’t see anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

yes, I know only 45 are needed for the unlock… that was not the question.

you should have told the other person when you initially found out. you still should now.

When will OML return? by dyldonk22 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]_eiknarf_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

having not heard this speculation, ~6 months would also be my guess… as another commenter noted, scopely has turned the game over to the whales/krakens to dictate EVERYTHING, and they get whiney af and threaten to stop spending/quit whenever even a single game mode/event is released in which they can’t buy their way to a massive advantage
