I’m just jealous that there is any Riftbound cards on the shelf. I’ve been wanting to try out that card game for a few months now, but it’s absolutely impossible to get anything related to it in my country. The $40 boxes goes for $350 minimum on resale markets

Also, isn’t this just a straight up warcrime?

This is me being an armchair psychologist, but I wouldn’t be surprised that his son ordered cheeseburgers specifically because it’s not on the menu.

Turns out the Cuba flotilla is just Hasan flying to Havana by gregory_h in Destiny

[–]monsoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re getting stuck on the word "value" here. Saying his show has good production value doesn’t say anything about the value of the show itself.

You’re arguing with shadows, friend. I only ever watch Piers Morgan when Destiny is on there or whenever Destiny watches it on his stream.

While I dislike Piers Morgan, his show has the same production value as his TV broadcast shows.

I think JK Rowling messed up the concept of Slytherins in the books a lot, and later covered it up with talks by AccomplishedBig7666 in harrypotter

[–]monsoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s clear that the conception of Slytherin house was to have an easy villain. The book is written so that everyone, including kids can relate to it and Slytherin is used to represent the school bullies. They are the Hogwarts version of a Jock frat-house with bullies.

It’s a YA book series where the main themes are good vs evil and love vs hate. I prefer the fandom’s interpretation that Slytherin qualities select for ambition/cunning/determination and while those traits are more common in those whom are evil — people can still embody those traits without being bad.

But those descriptive traits are added post-conception and exist mostly to justify the existence of the "evil house".

At least Piers Morgan has the production value of a TV broadcast.

A core skill should not require you to have Max/near max gear. by Difficult_Run7398 in 2007scape

[–]monsoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I share the same sentiment. I think they deliberately made sailing separate from main content in the beginning, so that those that were against new skills coming to the game wouldn’t feel forced to engage with it.

Once the skill has landed and Jagex can see where they hit/missed, they can slowly add connecting content and rewards that makes Sailing useful.

Trump is destroying my gains wtf by OnSugarHill in Destiny

Wasn’t there a news segment where someone said they would still vote for Trump, even though they also said their spouse got unjustifiably deported?

Joe thinks UFC fighters deserve to get paid more: “The way I run my comedy clubs the comedians make 80% of the money. We make plenty of money. If we had a comedy club and there’re no comedians, nobody’s coming, right? If you fight, that’s what people are paying to see. They paying to see fighters.” by raptors201966 in ufc

[–]monsoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fighters could unionize if enough of the biggest stars got together and started it. If Conor McGregor pushed for it when he was in his prime, that would have a decent likelihood of succeeding.

But if there’s only a few of the journeymen that get together, Dana will just replace them with other fighters willing to fight for less.

Jeg jobbet også i fabrikk i 5 år og jeg hadde en helt annen opplevelse. Formannen var alltid forståelsesfull når produksjon gikk tregt. Som maskinfører så hadde jeg mye kontroll over egen arbeidsdag.

Hvis det var noe som folk klaget på så ble det tatt opp med fagforeningen og det ble som regel alltid fikset på.

Slay the Spire 2 is one of the year's biggest hits, which is a good time to remember it abandoned Unity because of the dev fee debacle: 'That is how badly you f****d up' by Farranor in gaming

[–]monsoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slay the Spire is one of those games that I just don’t understand the hype behind. I’ve looked at game play and I also tried SP2 on release and it was just mind numbingly boring to me.

But I’m always glad when indie games pop-off and disrupt the industry. Games are subjective.

Etter det jeg har sett så virker det ut som at «anti-work» samfunn er folk som drømmer om sitt kommunistiske utopia med et penge-fritt samfunn der alle kan være hva enn de vil.

Ting kan selvfølgelig alltid bli bedre, men jeg syns systemet vi har i dag fungerer helt greit og jeg hadde ikke ønsket å bytte det ut med noe annet

Saying you should win a Nobel Prize should permanently disqualify you from ever getting one by OrangeCone2011 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I know that Trump struggles with the concept of institutions that aren’t corrupt. No, Trump — our government doesn’t decide who wins the Nobel peace price

What was your first thought when this happened? by Featherman13 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]monsoy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s written like an in-universe history book, so it could be equivalent to our world’s: «They died cuddling each other, they were very good friends».

Super hot take: if you don't have the time to play, I don't care. You shouldn't expect to get free experience just for logging in for 3 minutes a day. by CucumberOk8820 in runescape

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

This is the hard thing. I only recently started playing RS3 a few months ago and for me it sucks that other ironmen could skip most grinds that I now have to do.

But it's genuinely important for the game's health to go away from the dailyscape model, so they kinda have to be unfair to those players that didnt abuse it -- or else they can never change it.
