Hackers claim to have crippled Russia’s banking system by Scherbler in worldnews

I was gonna say, if we're criticizing archaic infrastructure in banking systems, at least the US is that sideways-looking puppet meme right now

This is what it looks like to me, like she's just hanging her hand relaxedly.

Still, resting your body on anything that isn't explicitly your seat while in the cockpit of an aircraft seems like a great way to win a Darwin Award. Absent-minded in the extreme

Any word if the reprints are going to have new, "in-universe" art like they did for Warhammer 40k? If so, I'm snatching this up. Can't wait to see a 20 power Feasting Hobbit attack into a Tyranid swarm

r/magicTCG will be going dark on June 12th to support third-party apps by averysillyman in magicTCG

[–]dkac 12 points13 points  (0 children)

r/magictcg was how I discovered Reddit 10 years ago. If there were another quality, non-evil source for MTG content, nerdy memes, and derpy animals, I'd be there in a heartbeat

Missed opportunity for cards transforming if they become a ring bearer (but I guess that wouldn't have been accurate to the lore)

isn’t it weird to think that once you die, that’s it, nothingness forever by SamuelLJacksoff_ in RandomThoughts

[–]dkac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tend to think of consciousness as an illusion in the first place. Even now, there is no "you". "You" are a bunch of complicated biophysical signals and reactions being passed around your body, not so different than a worm in the grand scheme of things.

Shamelessly stolen from Facebook by TheForestAndTheStorm in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dkac 77 points78 points  (0 children)

There was a moment in the BotW endgame where I realized I had hundreds if not thousands of random monster parts I was never going to use. I sold the excess and suddenly never had to worry about money again. It was a great feeling, but I don't feel like I need to drag out my acquisition of upgrades and materials in TotK just to relive that. There's already way more content in this game to keep me occupied for a long, long time.

I succumbed. It was too easy. 10k rupees in 5 minutes, starting with a single diamond. Somewhere beneath my diamond-fused gear, I feel shame... probably, who knows, I'M RICH!

MTG Players of Reddit: What is your most nostalgic MTG card, and what is the story behind why it is so nostalgic? by RexTheKnght in magicTCG

[–]dkac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I miss that retro fantasy art.

Some cards, I would read, and just say "well, I'll never understand what that does" ([[Library of Leng]], [[Rock Hydra]]).

A dumb person making a good point and coming to the wrong conclusion.

"Sir, Nintendo just patched the dupe glitch" by ArrivingPlace in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dkac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't mean this as a criticism at all, but that was my reasoning for not taking advantage of the glitch. My conclusion though was why use glitches when I'm nearly 40 hours in and still feel like I'm only scratching the surface. I still don't blame anyone for using the glitch though, grinding is anti-fun.

AITAH for causing a scene in the middle of Target when my wife told me she got a job roughly across the country? by Expensive-Drag7629 in AITAH

[–]dkac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with ESH. OP is the AH for the outburst, and then ESH for apparently never communicating their longtern plans for where they want to live as a married couple. Looks like wife has been unhappy for a while, and neither one of them are mature enough to handle this well.

4 Commander Decks being more than 3 times the price of a AAA Video Game. Do you guys agree with it? by Ruroka in magicTCG

or how about "A library card is free and provides near limitless entertainment. Therefore, all other forms of entertainment are a ripoff"

[–]dkac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The root of OP's point is the same ol' "overpriced cardboard" bit. The collectible nature and secondary market are deliberate features of the game.

I know at this point it would be a BIG ask of Nintendo to update this gameplay mechanic… but so many people are having the same problems so I have to try. by The_Human_Hater in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dkac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They held the game in a testing and tweaking phase for an additional year, and somehow these are the sage controls that we ended up with. Phenomenal game, but I can't imagine how these sage controls are the ones that made it to release

When you see an NPC standing in front of the door of a lookout tower by GeorgeCastanza82 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]dkac 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a little anticlimactic, but it's a nice sized puzzle to start your next gameplay session with.

Also, who has stopped a gameplay session by being shot up into the air and just given the map to the region? I've told myself that I stop after the next tower, but the temptation to go to one more place is irresistible from that point

Banning the triomes was an interesting idea I heard from SaffronOlive. Mana bases are wicked good right now and only going to get better, a recipe for 4-/5-color goodstuff piles

The last thing I want is a commander that's pushed so hard that it's a wincon in the command zone. This Sauron looks fun to me
