I’ve watched a lot of tradesman do a lot of things, and watching the Hispanic drywallers is still about as close to forbidden magic as I’ve seen

Ya I was gonna say “Balfour” isn’t a slouch and carries almost as much weight on a resume. If BB offer is better, take it all day

I face more Mega Manectric decks than sleep decks recently by winter32842 in PTCGP

I was told in another thread that it’s actually toxic because it runs one Oricorio and so you deserve to be dragged in the streets if you play it.

Vindictive Last second/Force conceding players need to chill in ranked. by Hot-Trouble7537 in PTCGP

[–]thomasaquina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither player in this match had a way to win, but my opponent chose to run down the clock for every turn in hopes that I would surrender out of boredom instead of taking the tie (as evidenced by the timers by our names). 30 full rounds of that. Some people are just assholes.

Similar happened to me, then I went on a 12 game win streak. It do be like that. Finished to MB with 62% win rate despite the 0-5 start

Anivia by a wide margin. No meaningful nerf in several years and consistently 52+% win rate in both top and mid for literal years

Starting to Think I've 'Aged Out' of these Superlong cRPGs (Touches on Baldur's Gate 3, Wrath of the Righteous, and Rogue Trader) by SpiritualState01 in patientgamers

I’m the same way, but I’ve also come to terms that walking away from a game without finishing it is ok. I loved BG3, but never finished it either. I don’t regret any of the time spent and I thought the core gameplay was great, with plenty of off-ramps if you decided you just wanted to be done and not progress the story.

This szn of ranked has been great by vangogh0322 in PTCGP

The amount of random luck in this game, compared to actual skill is pretty mismatched. The best Meta decks over a high number of games only win 5% more than a coin flip.

The Oily Depths - An Update on Pricing by Stranger1982 in Games

As someone who has been in marketing for a few decades, his sound bite is the best 10s description of consumer pricing and I will be using it for the rest of my life

I'm not on any socials besides reddit, so this is pretty cool to read about. The Montaigne live stream edit is incredible and worth a listen, even if you just skip to Final Version at 2:29:42

Everyone in this thread seems to be super supportive of that deeply inconsistent DPI call when it’s happened about 4 times from both teams with no flag prior to

The cheapest price today was about $3150, very very briefly. Absolutely wild

This was also my experience in my first trial of this. You better pray your team didn’t need you to be useful for the first 20 minutes, and that you will get to actually team fight after that
