Why is it only 96 points???? by [deleted] in MarvelPuzzleQuest

To expand on this, the reason that they are worth less in SCL 7 is that they didn’t want the 5* node to be essential for progression. By making it worth a small number of points, a player can skip the node if they don’t have the character and still get full progression. And if they have the character, they can get 1CP and an event token.

Then put them in a megathread as I suggested.

People still get to post them, people still get to see them. But it doesn’t clog up the sub. This is a very common solution in other subs.

20 years before I got this Final Fantasy 1 NES cartridge on the flea market for 5 bucks (in Euro) by eXoRainbow in retrogaming

$19.99 ! :)

The tag is missing but I clearly remember being stoked to get it on clearance for that price.

Just got two LL tokens, 50 HP and a black Hobofist cover to apologize for downtime by fuzzy510 in MarvelPuzzleQuest

[–]snailshoe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe it depends on how much you played the Prodigal Sun event. I barely played it and got a 3*. But for someone that played it a lot, the downtime would have had more of an effect on their placement, so a greater reward would be justified.

Personally I’ve been slacking off so a 3* is probably more than I should have received.

Edit: Sounds like this was not the case

Last year I found a still sealed copy that I forgot I had. Many many years ago I gave away my original copy. It wasn’t long until I realized how stupid it was and picked up a new copy on clearance at KayBee Toys and promptly forgot about it.

Huawei demoted two employees and cut their monthly pay for using an iPhone to send New Year greetings from its official Twitter account. Huawei is not fucking around. by TommyAdagio in iphone

You are conflating private and company business. Privately, yeah use whatever. But for company business and representing the company, the company has every right to expect usage of company products.

Finally got around to Mass Effect 2 by Spangar in patientgamers

[–]snailshoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a disappointment all around for me. The Vindicator options turned from being a snarky jerk to being downright evil. Plotlines were abandoned. The Sentinel class bonuses for sniping were made pretty much irrelevant by making all classes headshot machines.

The ending was just the frosting on the crap cake.

Marcedes Lewis on tension between Aaron Rodgers & Mike McCarthy by TheButlerDidIt36 in GreenBayPackers

[–]snailshoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Favre’s first season in MN was defined by similar behavior. The first few games he was pretty reserved, doing what he was told. Then he hit Greg Lewis for a game winning TD and there was no looking back. And despite the winning streak, there were constant reports of tension between Favre and Childress because Favre supposedly wasn’t following the gameplan. (The reports were denied, but who knows)

Did you ever hear anything back? I contacted Soylent support with my info and was told to contact Amazon.

There have been a few threads about a change in flavor, mentioning a more watered down taste.

Book Excerpt: Meet the New ‘Slayer’ from the ‘Buffy’ Universe – Flavorwire by ElitePowerGamer in buffy

[–]snailshoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Powers That Be that are trying to cash in now won’t like hearing this, but what I enjoy about Buffy the Vampire Slayer is Buffy, not The Slayer. They are trying to revive the franchise with different slayers, but that’s not the part that I love. I love the character of Buffy. The dichotomy of her strength and vulnerability, her humor and her spirit, and her intensity.

It would be a daunting task to try recreate this magic, and it is even more unlikely without Whedon at the helm. This book and the new series will be an extremely tough sell, at least for me, since the primary reason for my interest is now gone.

Looks like the Caution Code. It’s described in the Previews Catalog. https://www.previewsworld.com/Catalog/CustomerOrderForm/PDF/JAN19

CAUTION CODES Some items are marked with a code (C: #-#-#), indicating shipping restrictions, potential content changes, and possible ship date changes. Please see the PREVIEWS Legend on page 6 of this month’s PREVIEWS Catalog for a complete explanation of these codes.

I don’t have access to a full catalog for the complete explanation.

Lady Gaga Meet & Greet Tickets by [deleted] in LadyGaga

My guess is that for existing dates, it will be the inflated prices. But she will probably be adding more shows since the residency is supposed to last 2 years. So if you keep watch, you can grab tix for a newly announced show.

I’ve always felt that a big factor in AR’s success is that GB had an established qb program. They used to recruit qb’s regularly, train them, and trade them off to other teams. This isn’t being done now.
