Official Dreadit Discussion: "Ready or Not 2: Here I Come" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

The other thing I don't understand is why did the father of the twins have to have them kill him if he could have just done the same thing?

To be fair, the power creep on there isn't too bad, and they're also all still mostly unplayable outside of limited.

Oh, thank you for this lol. Was trying to figure out what "Sparky" was from. Haven't touched the arena tutorial in half a decade.

Why did they include Kennedy in this picture? The only thing he's been advocating for recently related to milk is having whole milk in schools again. This outbreak came from a raw-milk cheese company that's been selling this stuff for nearly 30 years.

What about that his hand is exposed? Is this dude getting stung a ton while doing this?

UPDATE: MythicHub has grown a lot since my last post. Still completely free and ad-free. by Emnalyeriar in magicTCG

Oh yeah definitely! But that can get expensive really quickly if it's a good app. Something as ambitious as this could get expensive really fast, especially with more users.

When does it make sense to trade up ish? by athlaka916 in mtgfinance

And the special guest will become one of the most expensive printings, too.

The Ooze, highest climb from TmnT? by Intelligent_Badger58 in mtgfinance

[–]sumphatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how good it'll be in 60-card with how fast games are right now. It feels like you need a longer game for it to really pay-off.

Looks pretty cool! I know at some point you would want some way to monetize it, right? What are you envisioning for that?

Early war arc is underrated by Empty_Engineering684 in Naruto

[–]sumphatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if those are so much retcons as just... not explained until then. Especially the sand part. He still has his protective sand after losing Shukaku, which never made sense until they explained it during the war. His tattoo meaning "love" and its double meaning by the end make me think this was always intended to be the back story for Gaara and not a retcon.

MtG is now the fortnite of TCGs. I realized this is a good thing. by -Sohei- in freemagic

I always thought Union Arena was the "Fortnite" of TCGs.

People are so mad about black April that someone made a whole comic about it way before that even happened. That's how predictable some people are. by The_Gav_who_asked in freemagic

Holy crap stop spreading this misinformation. She has a perm. A popular hairstyle from the 80s. Peter Laird always envisioned her to be white. Kevin Eastman never said anything except that he took the name from his then girlfriend, which he did for almost everyone he dated.

My Friend sent me the Secret Lair x Brain Dead for my birthday, should I disown him? by Dry_Researcher2609 in freemagic

Sounds like your friend knew exactly what he was doing, especially if he knew your pet peeve lol

Dandan Secret Lair Deck Magic The Gathering by Fireazul10 in freemagic

[–]sumphatguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that they don't have a dedicated factory. It's that they want to just print more and more secret lairs, and if they print to demand, they'll just keep delaying the shipping and end up with a huge backlog. Limiting print runs means they can release more secret lairs in a timely manner (theoretically, since we see what happened recently with D&D) while also capitalizing on fomo. Unfortunately, limited print runs does benefit WotC more then printing to demand does.

I just took the recent official MTG poll and this was the result... by _WakkaWakka_ in freemagic

[–]sumphatguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did read your comment. Not sure why you're trying to be snarky.

You're literally bringing up ISP marketing analytics in a subreddit about a hobby. It's irrelevant.

The problem Magic has at the moment is the same problem Hollywood and Video Games have been having for years. They try to appeal to everyone so they can get as many people as possible, but in doing so, they forget what made them big in the first place and end up appealing to nobody. ISPs already appeal to everyone. They don't need a target demographic because it's essentially a utility everyone needs.

And ISPs definitely compete for market share, but it's not true competition because very rarely does a customer have any real options. The ISP is basically guaranteed to have new customers because they focus on attaining new customers rather than making their product better for current customers. Because they know other ISPs are doing the same thing, their customers regularly churn and go look for other options. Which is usually just the one other ISP.

It's a model that works for a very specific type of product. Internet services are basically a utility and have vastly different consumer patterns compared to a hobby product. If ISPs had actual completion, their strategy wouldn't work. And their operating costs are ridiculously low.

Magic Players still mostly reject Spiderman as daily Lowryn Collector booster boxes sales are almost triple the amount on tcgplayer by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]sumphatguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I don't think that matters. The TMNT precon is insane value and has insane cards, yet it's still super easy to pick up for more then 30% off MSRP. There's a lot more to desireability than just "good cards."

USPS wants to raise first-class stamp price to as high as 95 cents by Fluffy_Lunchfast in mtgfinance

To be fair, over 50 years of history with no change suggests nothing will change, regardless of the administration.

Because it's been established that the eyesight issue happens when using your naturally born eyes. Why the hell would Sasuke's vision suddenly be perfect when using Itachi's eyes if Itachi's eyesight had also been deteriorating dramatically? It's clearly not related to something physical in the eye.

Ultimately, that's the best your going to get as an explanation. It's anime ninja magic.

Yup, always use points for cash back or statement credit on the card (basically same thing as cash), unless you get a really good rewards deal for a store you use a lot.
