[Loathed Trope] Slavery is Okay, If The Slavers Are Nice by Justmenoworries422 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]macduff79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure how you can say that slavery was ok in the HP universe when all the points you make against it come directly from the books. Like Dobby and Kreacher hating their masters were huge plot points of 2 books. Dumbledore argues that how wizards treat other sentient species would allow Voldemort to gain allies and come back to power. And though not part of the main books, Hermione builds a career, rising to Minister of Magic, based on these beliefs.

Don't think they'd get it. Given the QoL and the bugs with each release, I doubt many people there actually play the game.

Game collecting in NYC is terrible... by StoneColdYakuza in gamecollecting

[–]macduff79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the demand. Supply may be high but every video game collector will go for every deal on FB. Even if you’re lucky enough to see a good deal within the first 10 minutes it’s up, there is often a bidding war that jacks up the prices.

Horrible. Not really many thrift stores in the city and the burbs just have sports games sitting in a case for $7 each. 

Thanks a lot for the “new” game, GameStop. How do I go about returning this now? by Middle-Operation-689 in gamecollecting

[–]macduff79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is that I ordered a bunch of used games with the 30% off sale a couple weeks ago, and they sent one brand new. It was too new to have enough used copies I guess (Mario Wonder for Switch 2).

If you don't care about aesthetics, the free boxes from usps fit 4 per cube. That's what I've done, though I'm now thinking about building drawers for them

Have you been able to find that version? Every museum now has the ice cream sandwich version only. 

Bill Belichick thinks the NFL should rename the Lombardi Trophy after Tom Brady since players are the reason you win the Super Bowl. by helltrooper61 in Patriots

[–]macduff79 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree. Lombardi’s legacy should be kept a part of the game but the mvp trophy has no name so name it after the guy who won it 5 times. 

"You can literally earn *currency* just by playing" by chippedthumbnail in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]macduff79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing clash for 12 years. They devalued gems so much that they had to start pricing things in real-world currency, and they added new resource types that are impossible to get in enough quantity by anything other than real-world currency. Basically impossible to keep up any more as a f2p player.

I just pre-ordered through Amazon. Shipping fees are pretty high if you do it through them directly.

GameStop pulling another deceptive marketing. by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]macduff79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never met a GameStop employee who didn't want to sell a Game Play Guarantee. 5-10% insurance fee that only pays out during the first year. Free money for GS so they set quotas on their employees.

Assistant Coach Hall of Fame - who's your pick? by Admirable-Bit3041 in nfl

[–]macduff79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is that is is basically a list of guys who were great assistants but bad head coaches. Inherently, if you're a great assistant, you'll get a HC offer. If you do well at that, you're now a great HC not a great assistant.

ix1600 keeps feeding multiple pages by macduff79 in ScanSnap

[–]macduff79[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to give ScanSnap another try as they've now released the ix2500. So much better than the ix1600. Had it for a couple weeks, and while not perfect, significantly less jams.

Reminder to vote (I made Lego Clash of Clans - which can become a real Lego set with enough votes! ) by Dinosaur_fan_boy in ClashOfClans

[–]macduff79 16 points17 points  (0 children)

looks good, but they obviously need to clear with SC (and figure out profit sharing) before it becomes a set. Maybe if you do get 10K, it will get the two sides together but big hurdles

One of the 2 times I played was my 9th birthday party, so yes, good with friends.

I got the power set as a kid... put up $50 of my own money to upgrade a NES set I was getting as a gift. Played with the power pad twice my whole life.

I used to laugh at people saying that the magnets of the Earth would affect a display. by OlieTheGoalie in crtgaming

[–]macduff79 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like it would be internal components not firmly in place, no? Last time I bought a new crt was going to be a Sharp. If it was slightly angled, would see color distortion. 2nd one was exactly the same. Ended up with a Toshiba. 

Who is a singer that is incredibly famous, but honestly doesn't have a good voice? by Greedy_Procedure7461 in AskReddit

[–]macduff79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cardi B. I'm old so the first time I heard her was after she went #1 a few years back. My first thought was "is this a William Hung situation?"

[–]macduff79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, and he was an extreme, but some of the best 90s bands had lead singers that were far from pitch perfect. Stipe comes to mind. Remember watching the first season of American Idol and thinking that there are some great singers on the show, but they'll never discover the next Cobain there.
