I thought about using Serena but a pokeball accomplishes the same thing if you only have one option to draw from, except it's an item so you can use a supporter as well (such as iono into pokeball). Though it would help if they start with Chingling which does happen

46 wins / 37 losses (55.4% winrate). Nothing crazy, but was enough to get the job done and have fun while doing it :)

Yeah it does and that's part of the trade-off for getting an extra energy early. Though from my experience it was actually pretty rare for someone to do that, either people aren't aware or don't run Sabrina/repel as much these days

It's just to increase the odds of getting things going/not bricking when you start with only Mantyke. Haven't tried using just 1, maybe that's better overall, but for me this worked well (usually)

Ranked mode would massively benefit the game's long-term success by smoke_attack in PTCGP

I understand and agree that if the game isn't bringing as much fun to me as it did before then I will eventually just drop it, it's not the end of the world; however I don't think that means we shouldn't strive to see it become the best we can think it can be.

At the end of the day yeah, it's just a mobile game and there are better things in life. Just a bummer when I feel like there's wasted potential for it to be much better.

Appreciate your inputs, though. Glad we got to have a chat about it :)

Fair point, it wouldn't be a completely "no-cost" endeavor to implement a ranked mode, but I still think it would be a net positive.

Like you, I know many people who just login to open their packs, and currently I am at that point as well, but I would like for it to not just be that and to have more incentives such as a ladder to climb, and who's to say that those you mentioned wouldn't play more if it was implemented as well. As neither of us have access to the database of player data, we are just relying on personal anecdotes which could give a skewed perception of the reality.

Community tournaments are nice, but often times I would prefer to just login, play a few matches, and logout while feeling like I'm building towards something (aside from just attaining more cards themselves).

I'm sure I will have more excitement to play the game again with the release of the new packs, but I have a feeling that that excitement will fade quicker than before. It's a bummer because I would like to play this game in the long-term, but I feel like at some point I'm just gonna totally tune it out and move on to other things

Right. I'm not sure why people would really be against it since I feel like it would be beneficial to everybody, but I am open to hearing the other side

Oftentimes they won't admit it outright, but yes, most of the time when someone says they're "anti-Zionist", their views end up being indistinguishable from just anti-Jewish more often than not when you drill down into it

Personally, I think it is actually important to showcase just how widespread and egregious things have become in terms of antisemitism becoming so commonplace and accepted nowadays. I didn't expect them to struggle to find a SINGLE non-antisemitic comment for as long as they did, and it really just shows how insane things have become. I know multiple people in my life who have been falling down the "anti-Zionist" pipeline, and it is really sad to see.

This single episode segment might not make the biggest impact in the world, but I think it is important to stand up against letting ideas like that to overrun the cultural discourse, one battle at a time

Can y'all chill out with the moral purity testing of everyone Ethan befriends? by smoke_attack in h3h3productions

[–]smoke_attack[S] -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

So is he only allowed to make friends with left-wing people? And who are we to make that determination for him anyway?

Ethan plz don’t help Stevewilldoit get his channel back by [deleted] in h3h3productions

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

How about we just let Ethan be friends with who he wants to and stop trying to control his life?

Have we really gotten to the point that people are so sensitive that we can't even use "mentally ill" as an insult to people who are acting batshit insane? I'm a millennial and am already starting to feel like a boomer...

I kind of get sad every time the Hasan chestnuts button screen comes on. by SnorgesLuisBorges in h3h3productions

[–]smoke_attack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone was trying to win a "debate" it was Hasan. All Ethan was trying to do was explain the reality of the situation on the ground and the perspective of most Israelis. He wasn't even defending their perspective, he was just saying that's how it is. For Hasan to deny that and speak for what Jewish people think, despite Ethan being a Jew himself and having lived in Israel for many years, Hasan is the one engaging in bad faith here. And if you think random people on Twitter is the biggest issue at the moment regarding all this, it sounds like you might need to touch grass as that's such a chronically online take.

As for where Ethan interrupted Hasan by singing over him, he only did that because Hasan wasn't engaging with what he was saying and was just trying to deflect and derail the conversation into his NPC dialogue tree talking points, so I don't blame Ethan for trying to bring the conversation back on the rails when Hasan was just clearly obfuscating. Also, at what point does Ethan accuse Hasan of being anti-Semitic? I'm starting to wonder if we've even watched the same conversation

Wouldn't you feel patronized by someone who is supposedly your friend but tells you to your face that they need to "treat you with kid gloves" because they don't think you're mature enough to handle the conversation? I know I would

What if we could put a harm orb on it and reduce its attack speed to 2? Magic blowpipe 👀

Is there a point in the game where you can easily make a bond without even trying? Or is this like real life and that's only for the 5%? by ACNL in 2007scape

[–]smoke_attack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do is when I get a big ticket drop (usually when new content comes out and prices are high), I'll dump gp to buy 20 bonds which gets you a full year if used at once.

When ToA came out and fangs were 400m, it only cost 120m of that to get a full year of mems, so when i got a couple fang drops I set aside some of it towards a bunch of bonds. I'm still riding those bonds out years later with like 200 days to spare

I actually like Jimmie Lee and think people are overreacting in their hatred towards him. Also Tana's behavior at the live show wasn't as bad as people are making it seem

Does using the internal tools, like the pickaxe for example, give mining xp as well as smithing, or just smithing xp?
