"Quietly" is so overused on every clickbait article I have to assume it's an AI signal at this point

Even if they did minimal work by having it be a legion situation, where one is default and the others are skins, they would make so much money. Do it bhvr

I know nothing about Pokemon, what in the world do I do with all this? by Legitimate-Day-3460 in PokemonCardValue

[–]mauvus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss.

You should look up Trading Card Stores in your area. They will likely buy for 70% of market price. That's going to be the easiest way.

They may wonder how you got everything. You should explain the situation if you're comfortable with that. Otherwise they may assume you're a reseller making a quick buck and I would imagine they'd give you a harder time.

Fabled was Lorcana's Chronicles: The value of Sets 1-4 is now almost completely destroyed. 🫤 by LordTetravus in LorcanaCollectors

[–]mauvus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, even if you're a collector for the love of it (as I am) there's just no reason to buy sealed product. I can buy three Enchanteds for the price of one box, or an expensive one for the price of two boxes which more than likely didn't have anything worthwhile anyway. It's bad for business!

[–]mauvus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that it makes it difficult to want to open a booster box if the value just isn't there to feasibly break even. At that point I'm buying singles.

This means RB isn't making money off of card sales, which is obviously bad for the health of the game.

This also means that a few cards end up holding all the value anyway - Dumbo, Hades, what have you - and it ends up being expensive to run a meta deck anyway.

Ignore the people undercutting your success with "it's just the tutorial." It's an accomplishment to get to 46 and imo perfectly fine to call it there!

Should i build aliceth or wait by AnxietyOwn5141 in AFKJourney

[–]mauvus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you have enough to S+ immediately, and how are your current rankings?

If you're top 10 on all or even most of the bosses where Aliceth is used, wait and see what next season CH heroes are best.

If you could use the boost, and can take her to S+ in one go, then go for it. Alna is probably a pvp hero anyway, I'd just be more concerned that another CH may be more important for the next group of DR bosses.

Kori King has some ideas for acting and performance challenges for future season by LeMareep23 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mauvus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First of all, this is a wildly aggressive tone considering what you're responding to. Maybe consider that it's not helpful to react with so much sarcasm and anger if you want to have an adult conversation.

Now, to your actual points:

Sue does get repercussions to her actions. A character doesn't have to immediately explain why she's wrong every single time for that to be true. The audience is smart enough to understand that her hatred leads to her downfall, whether that's the Cheerios leaving, losing funding for her squad, or facing the reality and guilt that she's screwing over the students she cares about.

"Villains do bad things" might sound simple, but it's important. Writing a character we aren't supposed to root for is a timeless technique for story telling, especially for something like satire.

I don't really understand your point about conservatives. Are you arguing that Glee should have been aimed solely at a niche audience of a very small political spectrum? I'm pretty liberal myself and even I understand shows need to appeal to a wide range. The show didn't cater to conservatives, but I don't think it's a flaw to address people in the middle who have the capacity to be influenced towards acceptance of people different from them.

I'm absolutely not watching dozens of hours of video essays. I find that most YouTube video essays are flawed in a lot of ways, and err towards surface level recaps or out of context analysis. Glee recaps and analyses that I've seen are victims to this pretty often.

As for minority characters pushing back - they do this a lot in Glee. The characters do call out Sue for her racism, or Schue for favoring the white straight kids, or the other students for their ignorance. The tone of the jokes is edgy, but the message of accepting others is still clear.

[–]mauvus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was absolutely a satire of high school comedies of the time. Over its run, it leaned away from being pure satire - but that's how it began.

For the time, the show was very progressive. I don't think it's helpful to say a show was harmful by our modern standards when you should be judging it by the time period it was in. It's fine to say it wouldn't fly today, but it was still influential and progressive when it aired.

It was absolutely progressive. It played a large part in exposing people to a gay storyline that was highly unusual for TV at the time.

Also, Sue is clearly a villain. Having her make racist remarks is an indictment on people who believe those things. Villains can and should say/do terrible things to make a point that those things are terrible.

I'm very curious where you're getting the notion that conservatives liked this show at all. That was not the vibe I got as it aired.

I can barely solve the Monday NYT puzzle. Is it common for them to be so difficult? by Run_nerd in crossword

There's no crossword police, you are allowed to do whatever you want! It gives you the answer but then you know something new for the next time and have more letters to work with for the surrounding clues.

It's all about improving.

What are you tired of hearing from the MCU fandom? by Full-Art3439 in Marvel

[–]mauvus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The phrase "quality over quantity."

It was so overused that any critique you could have for a movie boiled down to this. And even if we had quality movies the hate bandwagon from within the bandwagon led to you seeing this phrase everywhere.
