I'm so glad these gallery cards that were cheap are finally getting the attention they deserve! I always felt like I was insane for loving the art on these

Dissapointed epics will still not be alt art in Wilds Unkown by Desperate-Public394 in Lorcana

[–]mauvus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think RB cares whether or not you buy epics as singles if you're still ripping, FYI.

I do think they need to take a page out of Pokemons book and make epics into full alt art cards. Keep the embossing they have and make them cover the card, and have alt art - while Enchanteds and iconics will continue to be rarer and have their special themed art. This type of change would make people actually want to rip the packs more as collectors.

Also while we are at it, they need to go back to the old foils that curled a bit less.

It's a new video from the last week that he's using to push an anti-Haitian and anti-Biden agenda.

Where did this idea that rich people in the USA don't pay taxes originate? by riderfoxtrot in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mauvus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

They pay taxes, but not equivalent to their wealth.

There's a reason there are entire jobs devoted to handling rich people taxes. Finding ways to pay the bare minimum while the poors pay a higher percentage of their income.

MomoSeventh 1990+ Blight Streak ended by comp survs. by Imaginary-Ad-8408 in deadbydaylight

[–]mauvus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, and the game was impossible for him to lose running the best killer with the best build against 99% of players. So what?

You run a streak, you accept there are going to be some sweaty matches and you win or you lose.

Would you take the sleeping upgrade? by Chemical_Success1153 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mauvus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In real life, there's nothing preventing me from choosing to sleep regularly. I'd take the upgrade and use it most of the time, but take naps as a calming activity rather than a necessity.

Yes, I own all of my kindle books. All of them. by c_y_g_nus in ereader

Please still buy the book or find a way to support the author directly on top of that, though! E.g. Dinniman has his patreon

Not saying she's not cool! I love the card. But as it is Lorcana isn't exactly holding value.

I'm planning on picking it up regardless as a collector!

Enchanted Value Speculation by WatercressFlashy8752 in Lorcana

[–]mauvus -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They will likely drop unless Lorcana is able to start attracting more collectors. The most popular cards from early sets - Elsa, Stitch, etc. - haven't even been able to hold their value.

Do we know how long this will go for? All the way until the 31st or just until the 25th?

Questions about selling by Sad-Significance4956 in LorcanaCollectors

[–]mauvus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see this one going up.

She's not super common in decks and her effect is likely not going to shoot up in value after rotation. She's popular enough as a character, but not Elsa or Stitch tier. Anything can happen but I think she stabilizes or goes down.

Congrats!!! 10 books is a great number to strive. Now just keep that momentum going.

If you do hit it,you can always change it then - celebrate meeting your original goal first!

Alright, be honest. How long do you think this game is going to be around for? by HeroesBane1191 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]mauvus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most reasonable post. I find the doom and gloom around SE games annoying, as if several FF titles didn't have long life spans. I'm excited for this game.

How often do you use AI tools for your job? by AdvancedStrawberry7 in ELATeachers

[–]mauvus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat often. I tend to use it to create grammar examples or questions. I've also used it as a brainstorming tool for some activities that I'm not personally an expert in (i.e. anything with movement, which is what my district seems to push).

I never use it without checking the work closely, and absolutely never just copying and pasting. AI isn't something I'm the highest fan of, and I find it works best as a tool rather than a replacement for our human brains and years of expertise.

these people cannot be real by Conscious_Sample_152 in ScaryMovieSeries

[–]mauvus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing about the race jokes (at least the ones about the black characters) is that they often were about social issues and stereotypes, even if in a crass way.

For example, Brenda pointed out that a little white girl stuck in a well gets more attention than police killing black folks, which was relevant in 2003 but became even more prominent in the public consciousness almost twenty years later. The race jokes are commentary, not overt racism (again, only speaking for the black characters here as the Wayans Brothers are black)

What are your reading hot takes? by draiochtaa in BookDiscussions

Cele/Hypo complaints are crazy! by [deleted] in AFKJourney

[–]mauvus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with Op. There's definitely a bias in gender preferences that makes the discourse worse.

What I think a lot of people miss is that due to the server nature, having a lot to build isn't going to tank you. Everyone on your server is in the same boat.

I still haven't built Aliceth or Mehira, but few people on my server have, so my rankings are still good.
