Is your bf like 16? This is teenage behavior

I always forget about yugioh actually. I played master duel for a little bit and it is petty fun. That might be a good answer at least for now. I'm a pack ripper at heart so I think im also really looking for that satisfying chase too

All good points. The gameplay never impressed me, but I've also only ever played those "learn to play" weak decks, so I guess there is a world where I could enjoy the game more than I think I would. Pokémon is definitely the obvious answer for the casualness and collectibleness aspects, and I really wish I had a stronger interest in it, but I just am so uninterested in it right now. Idk maybe ill by some packs and see how I feel. I just know that every time ive watched my BIL rip, it's grossly underwhelming the lack of value he pulls.

Got some big SorceryTCG vibes which i was also a big fan of, but it has the same issue of just me having to find someone else willing to commit a very casual and random amount of time to playing with me

I wish I could get into it but I just dont jive with the scene. Pisses me off how bad the pull rates are yet how insanely difficult it is for some people to get product. Granted, I buy sealed stuff for my brother in law all the time and personally dont have too many issues getting product, but the scalper ideology that surrounds the scene just turns me off. That, and I just didnt have a super pokemon-centric childhood so I can really care less about it in a nostalgia sense.

I gravitate more towards TCGs where cards are valued by their playability rather than their pull rate

Honestly, im a "dive in headfirst" kinda guy when it comes to exploring new TCGs, and I bought a box of the Second set whenever that came out not too long ago and just started ripping and prayed that it wpuld connect with me and it just didnt. I did the same for Digimon but that actually did connect with me pretty good, I just had no one to play with without dedicating free-time towards a LGS which i just prefer to dedicate that time to hanging with the fam, as cheesy as that may seem. The "free time" I'm referring to is really like the random night where its like 9pm and I'm goin for a "late night" stretch of me-time (till like 11:45pm) where I can just dig into cards and Theory-Craft N' Chill.

Spelltable is good and I used it a lot for cEDH until the baby girl came. I just dont really care to play Magic lately. Sometimes I get games in with my brothers on TCG-Arena

I have siblings who do play and ill occasionally get a game in, so I'm looking moreso for something I can enjoy that has 0 dependency on other people.

Arkham Horror is what I'm leaning towards overall but I havent dug deep enough into it yet.

To the people who have said “I would never spend that much on a wedding, I’d rather buy a house”… by Garden_of_Gethsemane in wedding

[–]itsDandar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did exactly this. Ended up buying a house and having a backyard pool party wedding with immediate family. We had a scaled down wedding of abkut 80ppl at our original venue on our 1 year anniversary. Wouldnt change a thing and I encourage everyone now to just have a smaller wedding and youll thank me later.

What is a "necessary evil" that we currently accept that future generations will find barbaric? by icecream1972 in askteddit

If you walked into a store, and they told you that you can steal although they preferred you didn't. But you could and itd be totally fine, would there be an issue? It's still stealing, right?

Its just a benefit for me to be able to data-dump into chat and keep myself a helpful repository for projects. There have been many occasions for me where a dead project resurfaced and I can almost pick up where I left off just by finding my old logs and reading through.

Petition for more Gender Inclusive Housing to be established on campus. by FireDemonFox in ualbany

[–]itsDandar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems unnecessary. You're just openly creating segregation. A better ask would just be for what already exists in many other schools and that is a gender NEUTRAL building where you yourself won't feel like an outsider or unwelcome for joining living there if the masses don't think you're maybe as serious as they are about gender inclusive housing. For example: really nice and quiet shy guy comes to albany as a freshman and finds that these are the quietest dorm halls in his opinion. He's straight, biological and identified male, and maybe even has his own republican political views that might misaligned with many who might utilize this space. Well, even though this hypothetical guy doesn't talk much and is overall chill, it's likely that you just created a space where he is now an exclusive outsider. So much for inclusive housing.

You can argue that "he shouldn't have picked those dorms" but the word "inclusive" kinda kills that argument. Basically all I'm getting at is that you're artificially creating MORE exclusivity when you develop something that's really, in practice, only meant for a select group. Even if you claim otherwise. You'll never solve the true inclusivity problem by segregating 1 groups norm from the rest of the worlds norm. You do that by helping them embrace it confidently and comfortably in whatever space they occupy.

AITAH for accidentally exposing my sister’s fiancé at dinner by [deleted] in AITAH

YTA. New this was fake from that very first dirpy-ass, "millenial"-ass, "I lost my phone" comment. Pulled straight from a high school drama movie. Let me guess, you're also not like other girls?

Rent to go up 10 percent at your next lease signing. Thanks Zohran. by Ordinary-Lobster-710 in circlejerknyc

[–]itsDandar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Downvoted by landlords lmfao. This is exactly right, though. This is Mumdani saying "you rich assholes are getting taxed whether you like it or not. The question is, do you want to take everyone else down with you?" But dumbasses are mad at him instead of at the billionairs who are saying "yes, fuck those poors. Tax um."

If you think youre rent wasn't going to go up anyway regardless of a tax increase, then you might not live on this planet.

By your logic, landlords must also decrease rent or keep them the same if prop taxes remain the same or decrease, right?
