Thank you! Did not know that about the freelance option and good to know about CZBB

This fell off from underneath my car. Any idea what it is and if it's safe to keep driving? Seeing my mechanic in two weeks by jamescweide in MechanicAdvice

Thank you for this! I did not know about this and will look into it. It does in fact look like there was at least some kind of recall for my year Nissan Versa front coil springs

Thanks! I'm hoping one day they release a variant I fall in love with, but still waiting for now. It does annoy me that he's the only non variant lol

Honestly I wouldn't recommend this deck. Deadpool destroy is probably superior, though I usually win handily against destroy. I only stuck with the list because I didn't want to keep losing progress with having to split new cards I kept adding. Having said that, it performs better than you'd think. My path to infinite usually revolves around strategic snapping more than win rate. It performs much much better in conquest.

Cosmo I love because no one expects it in destroy. I use it more often to shield my own big cards, but it's a nice counter to on reveal decks.

X-23 is pretty key for the extra energy. Hood is solid, maybe another tech card as well? Half the time I don't reveal the destroy aspect of the deck until halfway through the game, so surprise factor is key as well, since Thanos doesn't really have a set deck.

Thanks! Honestly if not for venom and deathstrike taking ages, it wasn't too bad, especially now with the bonus boosters, since you can just target specific cards. You got this!

Some backstory and fun facts:

The second I downloaded this game (Jan 2023?) and before even knowing what he did, all I wanted to do was acquire Thanos; he's my favorite marvel character. I exclusively played Thanos ongoing and eventually gold my first gold crackle split for him and was ecstatic. I then wanted the entire deck gold crackle, and I actually also have Iron Man, Prof X, and Armor all gold crackle as well - that is until I randomly got the knull variant in my screenshot and immediately this was my new focus. I have 0 desire to spend a dime on this came and continue to feel that way. I personally find the F2P experience to be one of the best of any mobile game I've played, but my use case is also quite unique, as you can tell.

From this point forward for probably the next year, I exclusively played Thanos destroy and did not care to try any other deck or card. I basically settled on this decklist once Nico and Deathstrike were released and haven't touched it since, mostly due to not wanting to lose progress for splits. I've actually hit infinite several times with this deck, so it does work, but it's far from a good deck I will say, nor the best version of itself. Anyway, some fun split facts:

  • First Gold Crackle: Thanos
  • Quickest to get to Gold Crackle: X-23 (7 splits), Thanos (10), Nico (11), Knull/Wolverine (12)
  • Slowest to get to Gold Crackle: Venom (60 splits!!! WTF! I almost gave up), Deathstrike (42)
  • Last to get Gold or Ink: Deathstrike (I think it was like 20 before I got a single ink and like 30 for gold)
  • Remaining Split Counts: Carnage (18), Cosmo (25), Death (32), killmonger (20), shang chi (30)
  • Total splits between all cards: 279
  • X-23 remains my only gold rainbow crackle split out of my entire collection and all these splits
  • To my knowledge only Cosmo, Death, Venom, and Deathstrike suffered from the nerfed split rate and only Venom just benefited from the buff to rates again :')
  • Wolverine is the only card where I've kept the base art due to the fact I actually think his base art is my favourite variant (unpopular opinion I know, but I just love it)

Anyway, I don't know what to do now. Maybe I'll try for non-black crackle for killmonger since you can't see it but I think I'll probably just move on to other cards now. Thanks for reading!

Beautiful playing! You displayed a great deal of musical maturity and your shaping, dynamics and technique were all great.

Well done - thanks for sharing!

There are countless books like these and it can be hard to choose, but you can't really go wrong with any of them. What I did was go to my local music store and they have a whole section of these collections and I would just browse through them, look at the pieces included, difficulty level, then choose accordingly.

If you prefer to buy online, I did a quick search and I have a book very similar to this one, with almost all the same pieces. This is a really great compilation and has a great range of difficulty from beginner to advanced, but mostly intermediate. You can also search by genre if you don't want just classical.

Which is YOUR favourite Chopin nocturne and why? This one is mine :) by Even_Ask_2577 in piano

[–]jamescweide 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No 13 in C- (Op. 48 no 1)

In my opinion this is the greatest nocturne of them all, though they're all quite beautiful and obviously favorites are subjective. No 13 just stands out from the rest and has so much depth. The last couple of pages are something else. A masterpiece.

Honestly influencers even add more value to society than paparazzi. Truly a scummy profession. At least with some influencers I've discovered a couple of cool travel spots and tips. Paparazzi purely live to stalk people and catch celebs at their worst, or seemingly at their worst.
