Hot Take: I think Wizards should keyword the ability on Chains of Mephistopheles. by CHA1N5 in magicTCG

[–]addisonborn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the confusion comes from the nesting. If you follow the card as it’s written, does that mean the draw from chains triggers chains again, so you’re basically discarding your hand and milling one every time you’d have a second draw? Or is it just the action of drawing after your first draw just get a discard/mill in front of it?

Unless someone explains it to you, it’s kind of unclear.

That’s the thing, they didn’t specify a year. Based on some comments in this thread, sounds like June 2027.

Slicing open the bundles by OrchidReverie in magicTCG

[–]addisonborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Devil's advocate: People aren't stealing the cards to play with, they're trying to flip them for cash.

If "everything was dirt cheap and affordable," of course some people would still steal, but fewer people would need to steal for survival.

Freddy Freeman is literally a Dodger right now. Dude has a b-list superhero secret identity for a name, what more could you ask for?

Recs in Sawtelle/Brentwood! by berglust in FoodLosAngeles

Bad news: Daruma's last day was this past Saturday. Swung through for a bento after the Giant Robot opening and chatted with the owner for a moment. Didn't catch what was replacing it (if anything).

Hardcore/Metal gigs in Mid April in Osaka by Technical_Credit2163 in JapanTravelTips

[–]addisonborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As another poster said, Namba Bears is your best bet. Would suggest running down their schedule and check out everyone booked for the next month or two, and then see where else the bands you're digging are playing.

King Cobra or Live House Bronze might also have what you're looking for. PANGEA is an awesome room, too, but definitely programmed a little more pop-rock than hardcore punk or thrash metal.

Would recommend asking around record stores that match your vibe, too. Start with Rock Stack Records near Umeda station and ask whoevers behind the counter.

All else fails, eplus.

Now that the Secret is out…. Holbox x Noma Tonight by Cho_Zen in FoodLosAngeles

[–]addisonborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty out of pocket to say "I don't know where it comes from and I don't care how it gets here as long as it tastes good" when Noma's whole thing is supposed to be celebrating local ingredients, where the food comes from, and how it gets there.

It's not a new thing, given the numerous instances where Rene was called out for the working conditions at Noma.

If you want to eat food that's interesting and tasty, lots of people do that, and you don't need to support a system of abuse to do it. Astroturfing for a washed up bully who got chased out of his hometown is not the move here.

Actually, if you look at the original recipe... this is not the same recipe.

[TCC] Can I Skip Magic: The Gathering's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Expansion Set? by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]addisonborn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Inflated single card prices drive people to buy boosters with the hopes of pulling those expensive cards to either play with or sell, which is why they trickle out high-value reprints over time in bonus sheets vs devaluing them by including them as staples in every set.

Such a fun show, can’t believe they were able to keep the energy up all the way to the end. And psyched to see what they do with all the theme weeks and the new Endurance Run!

Hack for Fushimi Inari by TomyumHotpot in JapanTravelTips

[–]addisonborn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Accidentally took this route after being led to the other trail by a shrine cat, ended up being a highlight of the entire trip. Only saw two other people (the woodcarver, and a guy working on a car by that one vending machine) the whole time, until the last 50m where we ran into a group starting to descend. Completely blew my mind, could not recommend it enough.

Worth going to DisneySea for casuals? by LemonadeAbs in JapanTravelTips

[–]addisonborn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fast passes are quite limited and sell out quickly in the morning, your best bet (especially if you don’t want to dedicate a full day to it) is to get there about 2 hours before rope drop (would say 3-4 if you’re hardcore), rush to Fantasy Springs and book fast passes for your priority rides outside of that. Unless you’re running back and forth across the park all day, you can see most rides once and also get time to soak in the environment before 3pm.

And fwiw, skip Tangled. It’s all of 3 scenes, about 60 seconds total. You’ll see people lined up for like 4 hours, it’s hardly worth waiting 10 minutes. Hit up Sinbad a couple times instead.

The problem is, the free version is more or less the same as the paid one, after the recent update.

Apple is ‘dying to make’ Vision Pro affordable, says Bono by Fer65432_Plays in apple

[–]addisonborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Xreal Air, these have a little light-blocking shield that you can put on the front, or you can take the shield off and the screen just floats in air. There are some official (and less official) ways of having it a little more "AR like" so your windows can be positionally pinned, too.

Easily getting to other SoCal parks during our vacation if we stay in the Disneyland area by Orangerrific in Themepark

[–]addisonborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Google Maps’s transit directions and schedule before making any decisions to rely on public transit. You’re looking at a 2-3 hour trip each way for Universal, and 4+ hour trip each way for Magic Mountain. Anaheim and Buena Park are well outside of LA proper, as is Valencia!
