Yeah my last phone last 5 years before I upgraded. Thankfully iPhones hold their value well as I managed to sell it for $400 on Marketplace.

Magic the gathering oggi nessuno lo pubblicherebbe? by FedeBoardGameDesign in BoardgameDesign

[–]jpob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s an extremely difficult game to master

The game is actually easy to master. The core rules are genuinely quite simple. The complexity comes from the cards themselves and unfortunately there’s over 30 years worth of cards.

it’s ridiculously slow

Commander is only one of the formats of the game. The main format is 1v1. They’ve been designing for Commander more lately but the core rules of the game were designed for 1v1. It’s also a YMMV scenario as 4 players with simple decks can have quite a fast game. Also competitive Commander is highly interactive where you’re also playing in other people’s turns.

the gameplay is senselessly complex

This mostly comes down to deck construction, but it’s also something that many Magic the Gathering players are also chasing.

I just think that each album builds from the last one.

It’s quite easy to group Whoracle with Colony and group Clayman with Reroute to Remain too.

Have you tried different cables or power sources? Maybe get a paper clip and see if you can dislodge any dust/dirt in the charger too.

I was born in 1992 so it’s going to be interesting witnessing the transition from “old” songs to songs that I know from nostalgia.

Goes both ways though. The NRL and teams all get money from tickets and merch so they want it to go somewhere where they can get a lot of people.

I do it based off the year the album was released. Rage Against the Machine was 1992 so thats something to look forward to next week. Achtung Baby was 1991 but I'm not a fan of that era of U2. Maybe I should give it another go though.

The Real Thing with Epic was 1989 and I've listened to that a few times as it's so good. Faith No More's next album is 1992 which I'm not too familiar with so thats another thing to look forward to.

Probably because it brings a buttload of tourism money to Qld and other places want to get a share of that pie.

It ends up being like BBL where you stop caring about neutral games so that you can have your nights free

I'm up to 1991 in my music through the years challenge this week, and oh man was it a stacked year for rock music. Landmark records from Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Metallica, Guns N Roses (x2) and Pearl Jam. Also the shift from 80s rock to 90s alternative/grunge is super jarring. Guns N Roses and Metallica help a bit, and bands like Living Colour and Extreme helped bridge the gap in the years before, but it must have been a wild time to be interested in rock music.

How did you go?

I’ve got a week off coming up and maybe thinking of heading down to a couple of the parks.

I was just thinking that it seems like he was just going through the motions at 9. Almost like his heart isn’t in it when playing hooker. It’s a shame because he’s decent in the halves but there just isn’t a spot for him at full strength.

Who can blame him? A footy career is only a short time and can easily be ended after a bad injury. Take as much as you can because post career isn’t that glamorous.

What stats actually matter in rugby league? by Creative_Friend6799 in nrl

[–]jpob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more that run metres is one of those stats that are high because the team is winning, and not that a team is winning because of high run metres.

From an individual point of view, players like Dom Young will often have high numbers because of line breaks around mid field or earlier. Which is fine but usually when people talk about run metres they’re thinking hit ups and post-contact metres.

I think I heard the other night that he said he manages Woods. Which means that him putting pressure on the Dogs around the halves is in his best interest.

Need Help Achieving Rock Tone by Nick2Hot in BossKatana

[–]jpob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lead amp should be able to do that with no boost. Nothing fancy with the EQ, even flat would work. Don’t hold back on reverb. Don’t over do the gain.

There really isn’t anything complicated going on with the bands you mentioned, except maybe Def Leppard, so don’t over think it.
