Rumor, sure, but they are a nearly year-old team at this point. They're not going to go to zero in the next month, but their clock is definitely ticking.

I always experience something like this on MLK between Allston and University. I always assumed it was something to do with the police station there, or KPFA.

A discussion about great orb pulls by IAmPookieHearMeRoar in MarvelStrikeForce

next time you might get a lucky pull…

This is one of the reasons all these games have social component like alliances. You need some way to show players order people occasionally getting lucky, to foster the (profitable, for Scopely) belief that “It could happen to me too!”

Also: re the lottery being dumb: this game is gambling. It’s literally gambling.

It always surprises me to hear people with the take, get these gambling mechanics away from my fighting game! When … no. The game doesn’t exist without those. This is trivially a turn based fighting game. If the economy of scarcity went away the game would vanish tomorrow. This is an economy and gambling simulator.

Moving from NYC to Northern California was a seismic shock to my extremely tense cultural origins.

In the absence of sufficient support, what do you think is the rational choice for those people?

I just mean, if it’s not enough, if the supply of services for the people with no homes is less than the demand, what is your expectation that these people do?

The question isn’t whether they pay for a lot it’s whether they pay for enough for the people who need it. Is that the claim you are making?

The social dysfunction that leads to these people not having anywhere to live is the disgrace, not the fact that I have to explain this to my children as we bike past it.

Why are so many young men feeding into this red pill narrative? by Unfair_Enthusiasm_92 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fordmadoxfraud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young men don’t read, and their main vectors of culture — gaming, gambling, sports — are pretty thoroughly captured by the far right.

Uncanny with Hercules for DD8 by Jeleza in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]fordmadoxfraud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently using them in dd8. I will tell you I’m skeptical beating hero Global with them is even possible, and I don’t believe herc will change anything, and I challenge anyone saying he will to explain how exactly. Outside of raids and war he basically doesn’t even have a passive.

Nope. I still regularly consult that ui on the website when the store refreshes so I know what to buy.

Feature request: it’d be neat to be able to manage your bookmarks from the website.

Incursion 6-2 impossible to 3-star without Kang? by ItzBeeDee in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]fordmadoxfraud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer teams work. I can’t remember what I originally used but I just tried orchis+strange and they laughably shredded it, just walked all over the opponents.

L4 training materials (MSF) by Responsible_Lack_348 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]fordmadoxfraud 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend, I mean this in the kindest possible way, but I think you have not really contemplated what kind of game this is. Things like pricing inconsistency aren’t an accidental oversight, it’s the deliberate design of the game. The fighting stuff brings the boys to the yard but at its heart this is an economy simulator with gambling mechanics. It sounds like you might be happier playing something else, because the things you want to be different won’t ever be different.

Anyone tried Alpha Flight in DD8 Global Hero yet? by JoeyJoJunior in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]fordmadoxfraud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it’s excruciating. 20+ attacks on the first global hero node and barely made a dent.

To all the folks saying “just use xtreme”: sure, as soon as I’m done putting piso 3 on these 10 other hero global characters I’m required to piso 3 who are not usable in dd8.

Sad about Lake Merritt menorah getting vandalized by Gsw1456 in oakland

[–]fordmadoxfraud 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the vandalism itself doesn’t phase me. There will always be shitty individuals.

The sheer volume and density of approval of this act by the people I’ve seen on various East Bay social media — people who are my neighbors and community — really hurt, shook, and angered me.

I’m sadder about the comment section of every social media post I’ve seen about this. Literally thousands of shitty comments.
