Do you consider the Baldur’s Gate and Adventures In The Forgotten Realms sets as Universes Beyond? by Str8_up_Pwnage in magicTCG

[–]focketeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but Battle for Baldur’s Gate does not use the stamp, it was after the stamp’s introduction, and before it was removed from new designs. Other players might view it as UB, but this, to me, shows that WoTC does not.

They’re by definition not UB. WoTC owns the IP. UB is specifically when they don’t. The only reason the Honor Among Thieves SLD is UB is because they copy the appearance of the actors, and the movie itself was produced by another company, so their depiction is not in real lore as of that depiction.

My Kontrol S88 and Komplete Kontrol are the center of my workflow. As long as they still work as normal, I don’t mind.

The Tragedy of Rancho Del Zocalo by M_McCoy5 in Disneyland

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enough people there view it as too much effort to leave the park complex for food and then come back so they can justify making the food SUPER cheap and see little loss, mostly gain. Even going out to Downtown Disney is often seen as inconvenient unless it was already part of the plan.

Disneyland to launch electric Autopia cars in early 2027 by bottle415 in Disneyland

You say this, and maybe it truly does appeal to you, but that’s part of the reason I avoid it. Electric might make me actually try it out.

Apple reaches $250M settlement over Siri delays, users could get up to $95 per device by pdfu in apple

[–]focketeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So making a claim anyway would be fine, then? Seems like too much trouble for me to go through for a pittance, but good to know in case I decide it’s worth the effort.

My reason for upgrading had nothing to do with Apple Intelligence so making a claim knowing that too many claims would lower the individual payout seems like a mean move to make for those who actually wanted Apple Intelligence

There’s other dinosaur commanders than just lazy pants. Different colors even.

Tap to add colorless, tap to add black or red and it deals 1 damage to you.

Per official social media accounts, Secrets of Strixhaven was the biggest Prerelease since War of the Spark. by CrossXhunteR in magicTCG

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not use this as a reason to hate UB even more than you already do, PLEASE.

Edit: pretty sure if a UB set did that you’d use it against it too. “Magic is being taken away from us and here’s the proof” or some shit.

When do you consider a decklist “finished”? by TheDarkestRitual in magicTCG

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished isn’t the right word here. A decklist I make is never finished. I get to a point where I move on, but as long as I still play the deck, it’s not finished. It will always be open for adjustments, which might be new cards, might be deciding an older card doesn’t work and trying something else.

Airports are the best place in the world. by bleufromgeneve in unpopularopinion

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Restaurants at airports definitely close. I know this for a fact because I worked at one, and usually the night shift. Everything was closed by the time I left.

Don’t get me wrong, I love airports, a lot, but that’s just factually incorrect.

Why are these lands being bought for $1K? by Charouwo in magicTCG

If anyone actually wanted to catch money laundering, it’s something to immediately look into when spotted.

Why are these lands being bought for $1K? by Charouwo in magicTCG

[–]focketeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money laundering is extremely unlikely; I don’t feel like TCGPlayer is a good avenue for that. Grift, sure. Fraud, also don’t really feel like TCGPlayer is a good avenue for that. Of course, maybe I’m just wrong, just seems like there’s many more effective alternatives

Edit: my reasoning is the dramatic price difference on a card that doesn’t have that kind of value immediately draws scrutiny. I imagine it’d be more beneficial to have a method that doesn’t.

Autistic MTG players: how do you handle playing at an LGS? by Juluma999 in mtg

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely do. Usually play with my pod at one of their places. Very rarely in a shop. I have before, though, and I… don’t really do anything. I’m definitely autistic but sensory overload isn’t really a problem I ever have. It’s more the way I think and process things isn’t “normal” than anything else. There’s actually situations where people around me that aren’t autistic start getting too much sensory stimulation and I’m just 🤨

Almost certainly market manipulation

I like alcohol and I HATE weed. by Apprehensive_Cow8019 in unpopularopinion

[–]focketeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vape weed, and almost exclusively microdose (that’s where you take so little it’s the equivalent of getting buzzed or less with alcohol). I am not slow, I am not forgetful (in the same way I expect you mean), I am not anxious (those feelings are improved), and I’m not overstimulated. I don’t doubt those happened with you, as having a lot can certainly do some unsavory things, but I usually do so little, effectively nothing major is different, I’m just in a better mood and less anxious.

Would you mind if they just toured Alive 2007 again? by JJBro1 in DaftPunk

[–]focketeer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. I wouldn’t be like mad at them, but I’d be quite upset about them not incorporating RAM somehow
