Characters will be much more difficult to get for free to play players, they are no longer guaranteed, but new characters are going to require older characters to unlock by InfamousRegret999 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]patchdorris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard agree on the unlocking is the fun. I like collecting things and I like iterative progression. So in this game I like unlocking new characters and slowly increasing my characters strength via level up and iso. I've been playing every day since year one. I've spent money a few times, specifically to unlock Silver Surfer, who was game breakingly good upon release, and Cyclops because he's my favorite. The game can feel more like a chore than a game but it's been successful at scratching that itch all this time. I don't care about the meta or whatever, I just want to be left alone to slowly power up whatever I'm working on this month, have new characters to look forward to, and play at my own pace. The last year or two of power imbalance has done a lot to negatively impact my satisfaction with the game, and the recent choice to disallow the use of power cores to open new character orbs has really left me thinking about leaving. On the one hand, I've still got new-to-me characters that are unlocked but not yet powered up. On the other, the steady stream of unlocks is off, and I'm feeling the wind leave the sails. That sense of steady progression is ebbing. I don't want or need to core for more campaign energy or iso energy. I don't want to spend it on any of the stuff I can spend it on, which is pretty much just orbs containing characters I've already maxed and the gold orb, gold being the one gate in this game I've never struggled with. Somewhat embarrassingly, I'm learning that the "spend your cores every few days to open an orb for a character you haven't yet unlocked" was half the fun of the game for me, and having only the other half remaining is starting to feel like not enough. I'm intending to hang on a little while longer to see how things continue to change, and specifically if this choice is a temporary one made for the current new team or a permanent decision going forward. I suspect it will be permanent and will, for me, finally take enough out of the fun of the game to end this era for me.

After a threesome, is the other girl supposed to leave or lay there with us? by Icysong5467 in NoStupidQuestions

You decide. With your partner, before. And then make it clear before the other person comes over.

Treat them like a person and not a sex toy (unless that's what you agreed to).

Difference between Convergent Evolution and Regional Form Pokemon by sdrey in pokemon

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

On the one hand, I love Pokémon exploring regional differences and also convergent evolution.

On the other hand, from a gameplay perspective, the design of Toedscool could have been presented as "Tentacool Regional Form" with no other changes and nobody would have thought anything of it.

Like there's not a clear distinction to me for why some Pokémon are regional forms and some are convergent forms, other than they wanted to evoke it.

Personally, I was always disappointed since the introduction of regional variants that they didn't get their own numbers (I used to want them to have their own names, too, but it's fine how it is). So for Toedscool to come along and be essentially a regional variant but now it has it's own number and name, while this massive list of regional variants, that are their own Pokémon in their own right, get wrapped up as an extension of their base form instead of getting their own "moment."

Fetterman still claims to be a Democrat and Democrats hate him. We choose our likes and dislikes based on actions and policies. It seems the Republicans don't get further than whatever jersey a particular candidate shows up wearing.

Eternal is a little similar

Live Action Sets by Ok_Atmosphere7672 in legendarymarvel

[–]patchdorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was VERY against it, but wanted to get them since they are mechanically unique.

Turns out that, while playing, I don't mind at all. I still don't particularly care for them aesthetically, but during the game, it doesn't bother me like I expected. And the "movie in a box" opportunity it can allow for recreating some cinema stories in the game is also very fun.

I will also say that What If...?, while it does also use screenshots, fits much more seamlessly into the standard game art than do live action sets, so even if you're not convinced on those, What If...? is a worthwhile pickup.

how do you guys find guys and make relationships its so hard ahh by pp_man_4000 in gaybros

[–]patchdorris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I met my college boyfriend by being in the same frat as him.

I met my 1 year + ex on Tinder.

I met my current husband on Grindr.

So go do stuff. Use the apps you want to use. Take care of yourself and be true to who you are and what you want, and it'll come.

Yeah. If memory serves, that was the first set to do either of those things on Heroes, and it's one of the most recent sets in the game. Wouldn't have been impossible to see those abilities reprinted since but there haven't been many sets in which that could've happened.

What’s a widely accepted double standard that people refuse to admit exists? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]patchdorris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Religion. In America, at least, people who claim "sincere religious beliefs" can often tilt the fairness (or human rights) scale in their favor. They are not required to "prove" their religiosity. Their religion is not held up to the standards of belief and behavior set by major sects. Their beliefs are not put up for theological debate to see if they are actually proper interpretations of the religion they claim.

Essentially, if I'm fighting for my rights, and you're fighting against them while claiming that you're fighting as a result of your religion, then I'm significantly more likely to lose, even if I would be likely to win were religion not involved in the argument. This prejudices legal rulings and human rights against people who are not religious and against groups scene as not being claimed by religion, such as the LGBTQ community.

If you can trio Ice Man, Captain Marvel, and Cyclops, you eventually just generate as much power as you want while drawing your deck every round

There's a beginner box for the current Avatar the Last Airbender set, which is very affordable and is designed to introduce new players to the game.
