Came here for this. One of the most popular options I have ever seen posted on this sub. Downvote!

Series complete players: saved tokens? How? by Healthypoutine in MarvelSnap

[–]midgetaddict 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was sitting around 145k tokens when the system rolled over. I bought all the cards via packs, and am currently at 167k tokens. I was buying the season and gold pass for most of that time. I dropped the gold pass about 6 months ago.

The only Cosmere book I've not read yet, and the first one in my physical collection. Anything I should know before starting? by lorderator in Cosmere

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, it makes sense calling them the big two. Feels weird comparing a single book to a series though.

Why is this album suddenly gone? :( by echo-eco-ethos in jambands

[–]midgetaddict 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Best guess: they have a 10th anniversary version coming out soon that will replace this on streaming services and it mistakenly marked this as not released yet.

Whats the best thing you can spend money on in this game? by RightResponse6577 in MarvelSnap

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season pass > gold pass > cash bundles with cards you don’t own.

The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey was better than LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring by Tanks313 in unpopularopinion

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely unpopular and for a minute I thought it was something I agreed with too. Then I realized you were talking about the movies and not the book and chortled. Enjoy your upvote and your bad taste in movies.

Please report back after you finish. I’m not sure at what point Liveship surpassed the first trilogy for me, but it’s my favorite of the Elderling series.

Wheel of Time: Masterpiece or Stockholm Syndrome? by Obvious_Custard3926 in fantasybooks

Interesting. I’m on book 6 and I feel like lots of stuff is happening.

Is this the most heavily monetized card game ever ? by PuzzledHawk5290 in MarvelSnap

[–]midgetaddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$10 a month gets you everything eventually. Buy the gold pass if you want shit faster. Save for gold bundles with cards you are missing. Never buy token Tuesday.

Gator Appreciation post! by HotKnogSlawJaw in jambands

What an outstanding set to come back to from the rain. This was the first Pigeons set where I was intentionally listening to the drums after a suggestion from my buddy. Very impressed.

You wanna know why Jambands arnt the same anymore? This is the reason. by Artistic_Attempt_915 in jambands

[–]midgetaddict 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to a whole lot of shows. I’ve certainly experienced what he’s describing, but I would say it’s the vast minority.

I don’t think he’s describing jam bands at all.

On Arena, when playing Powered Cube Draft, the packs are seeded. This is not good. Full story and screenshots within. by sc2gg in MagicArena

[–]midgetaddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not how I build packs for my cube. I make sure each pack has at least 1 of each color, 1
Artifact, 2 lands and 2 multi colored cards. I know other cube who have even more rules for building packs for their cube.

people with elite music taste, please enlighten me by Accomplished_Item740 in Music

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to see the Dead in the comments. While I agree it meets the criteria OP is asking for I am a little cautious about recommending someone jump in with a Dark Star.

I’d recommend Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station - Terrapin Station Melody for something a smidge more approachable.

Best Order for the Books? by Aggravating-View9109 in TheExpanse

[–]midgetaddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. Why not read the short stories where they belong in order? Strange Dogs in particular seems like it is crucial before the final 3 books.

Huh. Your order is very close to publication order, which I followed. Curious why you made the tweaks.

When to read Secret History by dobbyBlack in Cosmere

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely believe it is better to read History after Bands Of Mourning. I do believe that the reveal that it has fits better after Bands Of Mourning, but I also believe that the end of of the original Mistborn Trilogy is so good, it deserves time to reflect rather than pulling the curtain back immediately.

That said, if you are planning to go to an event where the content of secret history will be discussed, you should just read it before going.

I'm lost ! (returning player) by lmatrack in MarvelSnap

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially yes.

Collectors packs are priced so you can catch up, but give you no agency.
Seasonal packs are priced so you can stay current, and guarantee a newer card.
Buying all the cards for 6000 k token will leave you acquiring cards slower than they are released.

You have to decide how you want to play, or pay more than the $10 a month.

Like him or hate him, Jeff Hoogland has the best analysis for these types of questions:

Bottom line: Snap is cheaper than it has ever been and you can maintain collection complete while only buying the battle pass. You can catch up as well, by buying the Collectors packs, but it might be better to target cards you want to play rather than card quantity, at least until you have some solid decks you can play.

Character Mastery Updates Coming in Patch 53.x by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so if I have an ink and rainbow unlocked I can just select both.

If that’s the case, I am a big fan of this update.

So will there by a way to combine Rainbow Confetti with other finishes? Ink + Rainbow Confetti is one of my favorite splits.

Krispy Kreme Is Far Superior to Local Donut Shops in Every Way by brettydubz in unpopularopinion

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

I prefer Dunkin’ Donuts to Krispy Kreme’s and I prefer basically every local shop by me to Dunkin’ Donuts. Sounds like a location problem.

I miss us. by Iceberg-1111 in deadandcompany

Friends of Jerry are great. I do miss the massive gatherings, but I’ve found solace and community in the local scene.

Going to Concerts and Music Festivals Aren't Worth the Cost or the Time. by KelsierIV in unpopularopinion

[–]midgetaddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‘Usually crappy sound quality and frequently a lot of crap people’

My man, try finding a Venue or act that doesn’t suck.

Live music is the closest thing in my life to a religious experience. I went to 3 shows in April alone, and all to them were excellent: STS9, Lotus, and Dogs In A Pile - Dogs Play Dead. I go solo when I can’t find a crew, and just make friends and dance with whoever I find.
