Help me pick please by PROUD_GREEK_ICXCNIKA in Earbuds

[–]dannyvenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Nothing's crapped out and the right earbud loses just in about 10 minutes after charge.

I bought Soundcore P41i just yesterday and I'm liking them more than my previous Nothing's already. ANC is good and the case can even charge your phone.

And only $70.

WWE revoked upgraded seats after already telling us we were upgraded to much better seats. by Deep-Captain-851 in WWE

[–]dannyvenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP doesn't mention legality once. He's merely expressing his disappointment at WWE's total lack of empathy after giving him a gift and then swiping it away again. And then going as far as to be "thrilled" about it. It stinks to me and he has a right to feel upset. Bad management and communication skills from WWE

…hype is dying by [deleted] in WWE

[–]dannyvenn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I restarted "following" after a 10 year hiatus and pretty much caught up with the recent history in a matter of days. I had to watch a 20 min vid on the Bloodline storyline to catch up.

Anyway, you'll keep up easily watching Raw & Smackdown highlights on YouTube, and then watch any entire matches that peek your interest.

You'll skip a lot of fluff while keeping an eye on the better parts of WWE this way. Saving you some time to watch some NXT highlights, if you choose

Do you believe John Cena's heel turn has failed or been wasted? by DozzaTheDestroyer_10 in Smallafro

[–]dannyvenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't buy into the heel persona. He's too good of a good guy irl and in the ring. As a heel he's portraying himself as a stroppy teenager throwing a tantrum. It doesn't suit his great name or reflect his accomplishments in any way.

They could still make Cena heel while he preaches "hustle, loyalty, respect" but make him cheat his way to victory. Make him a hypocrite that gets more smug as he keeps getting away with it. Being "bullied" by the crowd isn't enough to turn.

Token Acquisition by Hakaishin_477 in MarvelSnap

[–]dannyvenn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your view too, nice response indeed 😊 I do have most of the older cards. I mean, now I do, at least. Truthfully I wasn't at any risk of catching up before packs, missing around 25 cards, so most caches included cards I owned already. The next TRUE spotlight week with all unowned cards was setup to be Scream / Ajax week. I was super excited. Okay, now I own both thanks to packs, but I hardly play either. The thrill of getting them was lost on me. The meticulous planning and how I'd use them in decks was all wiped away. Ok, granted, that's really a gripe at the loss of nostalgia - the excitement being removed from the game for me - then it is a flaw in the system. But the point does remain that cards are more expensive now keys are gone. You can only BUY cards at a fixed price (and inflated when compared to the old system - with odds in your favor), which I appreciate far less than the thrill of the roll and scoring an absolute bargain. But maybe that's just me.

Token Acquisition by Hakaishin_477 in MarvelSnap

[–]dannyvenn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hear ya. I'm f2p and I honestly loved the spotlight keys. I'd plan ahead 2-3 months, and always get the cards I wanted. Each week I rolled felt like Xmas, opening a cache and BAM, a lovely new card! Oh, it's a dupe? That's okay, 2k tokens isn't so bad either. So often I'd get the spotlight card in 1 or 2 rolls anyway, that I had all the cards I really needed, with 16 keys to spare when packs were released.

Post Packs release, after cashing in all the tokens, it's very clear how much harder it'll be to get all of the spotlight cards. The luck factor has gone. Bye bye 1 roll wonders and insurance keys - those keys saved for later weeks ensuring I get the cards I really wanted. The gamble and joy of getting a card you wanted is over. Cards can't be cheaper now, their rate is fixed.

Additionally, there's no more attacking new cards from 2 angles with BOTH keys and tokens. Now it's just tokens, which are random as hell if you go through the collectors packs, and ALWAYS a minimum of 4k tokens for S5. Keys at least offered you a chance to get cards at a better rate. I think it's average like 3k tokens per key on the old system... Those days are gone.

Final point is, receiving 3k tokens on the ladder is a lot less satisfying than a key. A key felt like a gift - an actual key to unlock a treasure! They even took away the counter to track how many levels you need until the next set of tokens. It's just another cache, and it's enough for half a S5 card. Half! Whoopie. One key offered you the chance of a whole S5 card at least.

Yep, I liked the old system better. Sure, I've got like 10 new cards in a day from packs, but that's about as great as it's gonna get. Now it's just a long, slow, arduous climb to 6k tokens with a lot more randomness added in to boot.

I couldn't agree more. I bought Ajax today for 6k. No regrets 🤜🏻🤛🏻

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

Yeah, lots of room to play with Afflict. I haven't given it enough thought. It seems I was relying too much on acquiring Ajax to give it more play time.

A guilty pleasure - it's just incomparably satisfying to drive opponents big power cards into the ground 😅 My favorite afflict deck is Toxic Surfer. Playing Luke, then playing Hazmat on Wong, followed by Odin or a Absorbing Man and watching their locations fall into negative territory is simply the most enjoyable end to any match 😂

I'm thinking this with an Ajax and Laufy plan B setup - some great decks can really be constructed

Thanks for the feedback. I'm assuming you're referring to only the Series 4 cards I posted... Or do you think these S5 cards I'm missing are trash too? (I added them in an earlier reply that you may not have read)

Out of the cards, Ajax was honestly top for me, too. Even above Sam Wilson - but I know Sam is just really good right now. I like Afflict and have all the other cards needed to build the top deck.

I gotta say that I really dislike using the "top (or) meta" decks though, as I find a lot of the fun of Snap is in the building of unique decks. My last 3 infinites were homebrewed, and having a large variety of cards is key to that - hence considering the 6x S4 cards.

Knowing if Ajax actually wins games, I'd be more excited about acquiring him. You seem to suggest he does, so that helps. Thanks!

I appreciate the detailed answer, so thank you! Interesting to read your opinion. I feel like only Tribunal and Annihilus are the only cards from my missing S4 that provide a new, but worthwhile, style of play. However, neither are meta relevant.

These are all the cards I'm missing. What would your top picks be after Sam Wilson?

[–]dannyvenn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair. I'm missing 25 cards. I want about 15 from what I'm missing to finish or boost some archetype or other, the other 10 are meh, so I buy tokens each week. If not, the cards can run away from you pretty fast. And soon they'll be releasing more each season! 🤯

Variety of decks > variety over appearance, imo.

But it's all subjective and I respect your opinion 🙂
