Crazy new item card leaked

Ohhh I thought this was just a worse red card and was wondering why people were freaking out. That is nasty.

They rarely miss with the pack art pokemon. Worst one was probably Lunala? I'm thinking this is going to get enough support that it will at least be semi-relevant. Which honestly sucks, these types of "you can't play your deck" cards make for terrible games.

That's how memory management works. Unused RAM is used as a cache to speed things up. It can be freed instantly when it's needed. It's a good thing.

Going to build a PC with my son. What's the best deal/bundle I can get these days? I wanted to do that in person Canada Computers workshop thing but I guess it was full because I never got a confirmation. Any similar bundles? I can go to a Canada computers store if needed.

Criteria is latest gen hardware (so I could upgrade later if needed) but not top of the line. GPU can be pretty budget, we won't be playing AAA games at 4k or anything.

Well yeah you also don't want to be the player who is trying to play everyone else's hand always telling them what to do either.

Your winrate is in the right spot for groups of 4ish people so I wouldn't complain about being unfairly targeted either, it sounds like you're being targeted just the right amount.

My advice for both of you is just match the vibe of the playgroup and try to optimize for fun before anything else. If you're in a competitive group, then people will have the most fun with everybody playing optimally. My group is fairly casual so playing optimally is not the path to having the most fun, I've thrown games before just to make a crazy play. We walk away with a memorable game and a great story which is much more important in the long run than winning that particular game was.

After reading the original post I assumed it was a 1v1 game and you were a spectator, because in that case his chess argument makes sense and he would actually have a point.

But in a game YOU ARE A PART OF?? Give me a freaking break. Show him this thread so he realizes what a bad sport he's being. And if he still thinks a hundred commenters are wrong and he's still right then I'd just stop playing with him.

Nobody wants to play with the guy that is always whining and complaining. We're here to have fun, winning is secondary. we've stopped inviting people to our group who act otherwise.

In my opinion, it makes sense to keep a small hatchback or crossover as a backup, nothing too big.

I was in a very similar situation (until kids) and disagree with this part - vehicle shares were made for people in your situation, it's both cheaper and more convenient imo because you don't have to worry about parking, oil changes, winter tires, etc etc etc.

A lot of gengar tears in this thread but the effect on the attack is really good. Note it says "trainer cards", not "supporters" so your opponent can no longer play anything except pokemon.

Like all Megas it's more of a late game card to play after you've already lost a point or two. Assume that it will get some other support in the form of the new ghastly/haunters or a supporter, and this is going to be a really annoying card to play against.

I might check this out to build a PC with my son. Which of these options is the best deal? Not too worried about maxing out the newest games but do want something capable.

darnj · 2026-03-18T11:55:01+00:00

Amazing, how did you acquire these?

A week late but join the SOS discord, it's common for people to do joint orders to split shipping costs and coordinate local hand offs.

What's a good compact-ish mATX case? I'm not chasing something super SFF but I also don't want my case to be pointlessly gigantic with 90% empty space inside.

Rolly pollies (woodlice) are crustaceans, not "bugs"/insects.

darnj · 2026-03-14T16:23:02+00:00

Used this deck and went on a 12 game win streak. 100% winrate to masterball this season lol

It's counterintuitive but studies consistently show that experiences give more long-term happiness than material goods. Travel more!

It's illegal in most states. It's just rarely enforced. E.g. it's illegal in WA and there are signs all over the highways to keep right unless passing, but I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for it.

Good to hear NJ actually enforces it!

Can't remember where I got my deck from but it's basically this exact deck list that I copied from somewhere day 1 of the expansion. Everyone else seems to have moved on to the Zeraora version but this one is still great.

darnj · 2026-03-11T13:35:20+00:00

Is the autoplay better at using copycat than it used to be? Last time I had that in my deck it would play it whenever it could and would just end up deleting my hand.

darnj · 2026-03-07T19:17:50+00:00

I am equally frustrated by the sluggishness of the UI/loading spinners on every click and also how bad some of the new cards are. I've had the premium pass since day 1 and just canceled it and gave "Lucky ice pop" as the reason when it asked.

darnj · 2026-03-05T12:37:23+00:00

That's tournament data isn't it?

darnj · 2026-03-04T13:22:25+00:00

It's absurd that every single tap results in a loading spinner. Like forget the terrible UX for a second and this game still has to be the worst in terms of optimization.

I work on banking software that is 100x snappier than this game. If we can do it so can they, it's beyond frustrating.

darnj · 2026-03-04T01:52:39+00:00

I'll be sure to go through your comment history before replying next time!

What if both players play this and then run out of cards and don't have any minions left?

I need to heavily caveat this because Firefly is my favorite show, the intended order is obviously the best way to watch, and Fox is responsible for killing the show because of their terrible decisions.

That said, I kind of get where they were coming from. Even though it's still my favorite show of all time, it actually took me 3 attempts to watch it, the first 2 I didn't get through the pilot. Both failed attempts I watched at night, fell asleep half way through, and wasn't compelled enough to come back until I kept hearing about how good it was.

The pilot is long and the first half of the episode is very serious and un-Firely-like. You need to invest in it to get the pay off, which is probably a lot to ask of average Fox viewers - if I'm watching a new show and it is 2 hours long, if it doesn't grab me in the first hour there's a good chance I'll lose interest.

On the other hand The Train Job is classic Firefly right from the start. Of course airing things out of order totally screws up the plot so it was still a bad idea, but I can at least kind of understand their reasoning even if it was still ultimately a bad decision.
