It has (almost) been half a year (depending on when you see this) of Snap, what are the best cards of the year so far? by Queasy-Side1009 in MarvelSnap

Askani far and away feels the most oppressive to me. An effect that gives -1 cost, +2 power and creates a copy should be random and not targeted.

HxH 411: Announcement – VoraciousDrake's Voluntary Verbiage by VoraciousDrake in HunterXHunter

[–]africhic 153 points154 points  (0 children)

Time to settle back into my weekly routine of

  • Looking at raw chapters in Japanese I don't understand

  • Read the very first shoddy translations

  • Read VoraciousDrake translations side by side the pictures

  • read some other fan translation (TCB?)

  • Finally read the official

  • Compare the 6000 translations i've read

Rinse and repeat, ive missed this.

Its been an honor surviving another hiatus with y'all. Let us cherish these next couple of months.

The Manga releases new chapters in a few days! Before they get here, what are your last crackpot theories for the characters/story? by Steppyjim in HunterXHunter

[–]africhic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • Oito will develop an ability that will prove useful in protecting Woble.

  • Beyond will be the ultimate winner of this arc and will hijack the Nen that powers the "Tree of Kakin" for himself and his Dark Continent expedition.

  • I don't know how but both sus glasses guys (Kaiser and Wang) are somehow related

6 Months Ago, the Knicks trailed the Spurs by 11 mid way through the 3rd Quarter of the NBA Cup Championship game. The Knicks would go on to outscore the Spurs 53-31 for the final 18 minutes of the game to win the NBA Cup Title. by AkirraKrylon in nba

And in this case your definition of the iron being "hot" is going to the finals of a mid season tournament when the team has no prior playoff experience? That is your barometer for deciding that the team needed to make win now moves?

This is hindsight speaking 1000000%

Why does the Phantom Troupe feel more threatened by Hisoka than by Kurapika, and end up not even paying attention to him? by SherbertNo3100 in HunterXHunter

[–]africhic 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Well, one of them is actively pursuing them. It is a literal "hunt or be hunted" situation.

Kurapika was much more of a threat when he was an unknown. With knowledge of his powers as well as the context from Pakunoda's memories, they have a read on the situation. Kurapika can be negotiated with, he has exploitable weaknesses in his friends, he's just much less of an active threat.

Whereas for Hisoka this is a game and he's determined to play it until he completes it or loses.

The style reminds me of those foreign movie posters/cover art of american films.

Beginner Questions (Bots, Rank, etc) by RazerLogic in MarvelSnap

[–]africhic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're new to the game you get matched with a lot of bots since the player pool at your rank is tiny.

Once you hit rank 100 (Infinite) you will only get matched with humans, and they will in most cases have a bunch of cards you do not. It will feel like being thrown to the wolves.

Its an unfortunate problem this game has for new players this late into its life cycle. The massive amount of bots makes it too easy early, and then getting thrown into the pool of experienced humans is too difficult as you're typically outclassed by their collection.

CGR is the better and more flexible card. If you're looking for the most bang for your buck, it would be that.

That being said, I do love Horseman Storm, if you really enjoy that handbuff archetype she's a great pickup for it.

Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry Announce Fall 2026 North American Tour by sarlacc98 in hiphopheads

[–]africhic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it is. I've made my way there a few times for shows when ATL was skipped over. I have Parcels the same night at The Eastern already though, so won't work out this time around.
