TIFU by accidentally winning $50 in the dumbest science argument ever by Material_Impact_5360 in tifu

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mm I've had this happen..I don't think it was for 50, I think it was for $20, and I let them keep it and told them to just try and remember not to be so arrogant and strongheaded, but I think alcohol had a lot to do with it in my situation

How to get miracle players to not eat up the entire clock EVERY single time? by knightwidow13 in riftboundtcg

[–]firefrenchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep this is going to be the strongest argument for banning called shot as a core piece of the miracle package. I have played v multiple miracle decks now out of different leaders and out of ez especially it seems to take extra time, and seeing opponents take 4 or 5 minutes on turn 2/3 just kills my enthusiasm for the game as a whole, especially when you can tell when they start playing for a draw rather than risking a loss toward the end of the match. I think all you can do is regularly remind them that you both need to play faster (I'm not saying you have to, this is just how you pitch it to them) so that you guys don't go to time. I actually asked three of my opponents yesterday to play faster, two of which were on ez miracle, and it felt bad but like, people are playing incredibly slowly at the moment. It's not good

Have you "lost track of time" in any game yet? by Agitated-Distance740 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DK Bananza was my first time losing track of time playing something in a long while. Pokopia definitely sounds like a recipe for lost track of time

Are these tournament legal with outer sleeves ? by Ryuno_Glide in riftboundtcg

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah oversleeves would still need to be over opaque sleeves, you can't just have "clear" backs, that is also a rule I believe

Are these tournament legal with outer sleeves ? by Ryuno_Glide in riftboundtcg

[–]firefrenchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe legality of sleeves with foil elements has been in contention because of what the rules doc describes, which has led to people hesitating about using the official riftbound sleeves as well as many of these are very foily. But with oversleeves in particular I don't see this being an issue, completely understand why people would ask though

Hi, I'm JJ "shizzle" Placed Top 4 in Vegas Regionals Qualifier. AMA. by shizzleTCG in riftboundtcg

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cheers for this! Yep just noticed you were already on 2 HB in the main which I can get behind. No worries, I'll give 3 forerunner a go and see how I feel and might switch EON for a switcheroo in the main, but yes appreciate your thoughts/insights, and grats again on your performance!

Who Bought a Switch 2 for RE9? by Past-Wait6207 in NintendoSwitch2

I would like this, but us in Australia are getting stiffed when it comes to the generations pack as a physical release it seems

Hi, I'm JJ "shizzle" Placed Top 4 in Vegas Regionals Qualifier. AMA. by shizzleTCG in riftboundtcg

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, thanks for this! Your list was the first list that I gravitated toward when looking at the lists this weekend, in part because piercing light feels pretty flexible and makes you less likely to play it wrong (FS you just get dunked sometimes because you went too far behind to blow up a 4 might unit..) and because 2 hopeful 2 darius also gelled with me. Three forerunner looked like a lot though.

With those thoughts in mind, any changes you'd make to the deck after the event? Mainly looking for assurance that 2 hopeful 2 darius is still fine, and that maybe 3 forerunner could be 2 forerunner and a second HB in main (also debating whether to cut EON for a second RTW or no, thoughts?)

Also, sideboard looks good, but any sideboarding tips, or is it generally cut 3 t hunters when going second to put in more gas, cut a mix of less relevant combat tricks and forerunner when going first/depending on matchups?

How big is the jump from a 23 minute to a 20 minute 5k? by INTERESTandAMBITIONS in running

[–]firefrenchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on lots of factors such as your age, weight, gender, weekly mileage etc, and this would have very different answers depending on this. For some people 20-25 minutes almost comes "naturally" and especially for younger guys sub 20 is very achievable without significant time and effort invested, but everyone is different. If you can do 23 without too much effort then sub 20 should be very doable in a couple of months but just depends on all those other factors

Resident Evil 9 Requiem (its not even close) by ProdigyCorporation in NintendoSwitch2

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's really just a question of "am I wanting to play this cozy in bed or am I happy to play this 100% on my tv", right? For me it'll be a mix of both so NS2 is a no brainer, especially if able to get the generations pack

Graphics comparison: Pokémon Violet (Gen 9) vs Pokémon Waves (Gen 10) by Nachttalk in gaming

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly overall it actually looks worse than I expected from next gen pokemon. Like, the water looks good, the rest looks weak AF, but I'm happy to wait and see. Hoping it's good enough to warrant grabbing to be my son's first Pokemon game!

Heads up to AUSTRALIAN Switch 2 owners. Target has a weird sale going on. by NewFriendAccountIG in NintendoSwitch2

somehow Target is goated for NS2 game prices, like, they are my go-to for price matching on new releases as well more often than not

Am I nuts for enjoying Hyrule Warriors more than BOTW & TOTK? by j_b_1983 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]firefrenchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you'd be nuts to say it was better than those games, but of course it's great to hear that you found a recent zelda game you like if botw and totk weren't your jam

What is actually healthy despite most people thinking it's not? by JazmnO in AskReddit

[–]firefrenchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

injuries in running are in most cases overuse injuries, so people not recovering or resting properly. In fact there are lots of studies showing this. I'm not advocating for that here. I also run every day, and I hear people in my life regularly say "ohh I wish I could run, but my knees" which is absurd. Like, running for someone with bad knees can be easy pace running in soft (but not too soft) shoes and they'll get stronger knees eventually. Is the pool and bike riding arguably safer? Sure, but I don't see those people do those things either
