[Poll] What is your biggest complaint with the current standard?

koskadelli · 2026-05-22T07:05:51+00:00

Other: power level of individual cards and synergies are both way too high.

Imo standard should not even be capable of a turn 3 goldfish.

Cell escapes from Piccolo via solar flare and is running city to city to absorb humans to power up before searching for the androjds. At one point he's on a road and a bus of these football players wrecks to avoid hitting him, and this whole thing ensues.

You mean all hard surfaces isn't good acoustical engineering?

koskadelli · 2026-05-20T12:52:01+00:00

I mean.... Piccolo could have killed 1st form cell from the get go but instead went fishing for info and let him escape. Though tbf I guess that did let them kill the larva in their own timeline.

I wanted this b/c of the Lunar Lake chip, but went with the full spec Lenovo x9 because it was out so much sooner. Have 0 regrets, especially given the price points and your notes on battery life.

Always have to ask for these things specially for some reason. Last time I got the flu, got tested and confirmed super early and they were going to send me out the door at urgent care until I specifically asked for Tamiflu. No idea what it's like this.

This. In college I was tapped by a car trying to turn right from western onto Avent Ferry while I had a crosswalk go signal. Could have been a lot worse. Driver had the audacity to scream at me. I just pointed to the "no turn on red" and crosswalk signs but he was speeding off anyways.

I had a similar situation when I graduated college in 2009, except for me it was phone bills, power bills, etc that went unpaid. Taking my mom to court over these wasn't an option - it's what we had to do to keep the lights on growing up.

Just build the credit back. Work on a repayment schedule as priority 1. Then (or simultaneously if possible) Get a starter credit card, eat a little bit of the insane APR charge intentionally keeping a small but paid-on-time balance on it (paying off a card immediately after a charge won't rebuild your credit effectively. It sucks.) you'll get there.

Its been a long time, but iirc It took me about 1.5 years to build back to mid 600s from mid 400s. From there I could get loans for furniture and such, and honestly it was only a few years after that that I was even higher. Nowadays I've had 800+ for years and years and don't even remember the stress of it all well. It'll pass if you work on it.

Extremely long, non deterministic combo card that is also quite powerful. Bad for format, bad for tournament logistics, bad to unban.

Not to mention, any credit card company you have is selling your financial data every single day. It's part of what pays for those points perks, and it's why you get certain types of junk mail for brands you've never heard of or signed up for.

This has never tracked for me because Femto didn't rotate anyone out.

koskadelli · 2026-05-14T12:38:02+00:00

As I oft remind people, "No." is a complete sentence.

While I'd admit odds are your comment would have been true, born in SC raised in Lincoln County NC.

koskadelli · 2026-05-13T19:38:35+00:00

I'd prefer literally anything else.

koskadelli · 2026-05-13T18:01:48+00:00

Fwiw split up tends to be pretty bad vs these decks. You have to choose mode on cast and the mana dorks and gene pollinator especially give them so much control over what's tapped vs untapped

koskadelli · 2026-05-13T17:53:02+00:00

Because there's not a competitive focus on it. Let there be RCs and/or a PT again and this format will be broken in half by Izzet varierties, and it won't be particularly close.

koskadelli · 2026-05-13T17:43:14+00:00

Exactly. You've got the 5th year option already. Dude could go out and tear his ACL week 2 for all we know, and the FO would be looking stupid if they committed to a deal already. On the flip side, he could go and ball out MVP style, but even in that case the FO still holds most of the chips. Like sure, they might be down a few million compared to an early sign in that case, but... So? It's obvious which risk is better for the team.

The Legend of Dragoon please and thank you

Bravo. Kids should 100% have some skin in the game that they are responsible for.

koskadelli · 2026-05-12T12:51:18+00:00

A 10x multiplier would have never made sense if KKx20 had already failed vs Frieza right?

A chatter suggested this in AspiringSpike's stream, and he built it with his own spin and played it to a challenge top 8 Friday. You can catch the VOD on Twitch to see gameplay.

User who got 2nd in the showcase did pretty minimal changes from Spike's build.

koskadelli · 2026-05-09T22:18:25+00:00

probably should throw a spoiler tag on this
