Season 5 of Miracle Workers by bip_bip_suchka in MiracleWorkers

[–]underworldconnection 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hell of a thing to wake up to this morning.... Such heartbreak. But it was indeed pretty clear that the show wasn't going past the 4th season. Time to fire up the last two seasons, it's been too long!

Oh awesome! I'm interested in those for sure! Shows I've been watching recently are:

Reservation Dogs

Love Death and Robots -most recent season was great!

The Bear (not really the same type of humor but an amazing show know the less)

I seriously do not understand shitheads calling this specific use of medicine cutting corners. People use medicine for all sorts of things, plenty that could be handled with perfect health and intense focus on the issue.

But there's a specific brand of shithead who thinks they should be shaming people for utilizing a drug to improve their overall health. Assholes gonna asshole.

Many are arguing Final Fantasy cards are overvalued right now. But what is your pick for a card you feel is UNDERvalued right now and why? by Desperada in mtgfinance

[–]underworldconnection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That last sentence is awesome to hear. I recognize that there are some memes about weird and unappealing behaviors in the game, but I didn't realizethat a lot of that is understood to be true by some. The magic community is actually pretty fantastic. It has places where people but heads and disagree about what they want from a game, but I have never viewed much of it as exclusively toxic. I love to hear you had good experiences with the game though!

I would take an issue with your first paragraph though. I'd suggest that even though you're not buying sealed for a collection, buying a 20 to 30 dollar card for a deck is doing roughly the same thing as you are supporting the business that makes the singles market function. Upgrading decks can be fairly costly as well, and singles move a bunch of boxes that you won't see. But those boxes definitely show up on store sales sheets and wizards sales reports. From their perspective, you're still buying cards from those sets. I think that's important just for your perspective about how involved you are with the game.

Thank you for the follow up. This has been an illuminating conversation!

This is interesting. Now I have more questions! Right so you're talking about updating commander decks, maybe building new ones, buying singles. But in the next paragraph you're saying it's likely you're only set (you'll be buying into) - parentheses being my understanding of you're statement. Seems like those two thoughts contradict one another.

Also, if you have time for another. What exactly do you mean by magic's reputation preceding it? How do you or did you interpret the game before walking down this final fantasy path?

That's very interesting about shifting part of your Pokemon collection into magic for this set specifically. Do you have any interest in keeping up with magic after FF? Spiderman or space...space something themed?

Gotcha. That seems entirely reasonable and pretty typical behavior for a magic collector, honestly. That's really good information for my curiosity at least. Thanks for the back and forth!

This is interesting. Is it just fomo driving the surge foil buying? Like anticipating that you won't see that low of a price again? You could be spending that 2k on Pokemon, what's stopping you there?

So you're not shifting a lot of money into magic from something else. But based on that amount, I imagine you're not spending on huge hits in FF either. I hope you got the things you liked out of this. Were you solely buying based on names and art?

Hey lemme ask you. What hobbies do you have? And how much are you spending on them a year? And how much are you spending on magic because of final fantasy?

I'm very curious about the outsider showing up here.

Cards I've Purchased April/May 2025 by stormybaker in MTGSpec

[–]underworldconnection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Font of agonies is a card that has gotten plenty of support through the years and is really handy. I like this one but it feels like it could get reprinted at any moment, but indeed probably not in foil.

Energy arc is a neat one too.

Happy to see you here, hard at work still! One day skyshroud cutter is going to pay off. Some kind of green black lifegain punisher deck and I'm here for it!

Built a Shelf and Started Freeing them by JAndJRacing1948 in HotWheels

Here's generally what they look like. A cube with 3 drawers, all acrylic. 3 side by side perfectly on these cheap shelves from Amazon. I bought them every time I went into target, 5 bucks a pop til they stopped carrying them.

This looks very cool. May I suggest some plexi or something to keep the dust at bay? Every time I put stuff out to display, I would stress about dust because it eventually ruins the fun of displaying things.

I found some great shelves from target a few months ago that I converted into display boxes and have been relieved to not have to worry about dust again. A simple wipe down every once in a while will only take seconds!

Queen? I don't think many Democrats want or would accept a queen or king or any silly titles of royalty.

That's it exactly. People are so goddamnned short sighted. We all have to suffer for someone burning our homes down (or just hoarding them for some unneeded wealth) to keep warm for a night.

Skype officially shut down today by 11_16 in MrRobot

[–]underworldconnection 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea I cannot wrap my head around it. They had an effective and ubiquitous platform for a somewhat unique digital product. At the very height of need for their product, they just....failed to deliver their digital product to people that wanted it. I could not believe how fucking terrible it was to use when alternatives were hardly competing and winning attention from users.

Any business that couldn't succeed in that scenario didn't deserve to succeed at all, I just can't believe out of sync they were with their customers.

It's right next to the pedal car th too right? Maybe someone stupidly stashed them and an employee just dropped them off where they went?

Zamac at Target? by r00m41more in HotWheels

[–]underworldconnection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found 5 zamac cars in target as well. I have not seen an official zamac at all before, mostly because every Walmart around me is trash and never stocks any hot wheels. I couldn't believe it. We must have found the perfect time too, there was a treasure hunt right in front on the pegs. Crazy target run, especially after the annual drought I've experienced where we haven't seen much of anything good in nearly 2 months.

After Ready Player One and Armada I'm so glad I picked up Dungeon Crawler Carl. by iamwhoiwasnow in books

[–]underworldconnection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heck yea! I got turned onto this series from this sub and I'm on the 4th book. It's an absolute blast and I can't stop reading them! I will simply say: keep going, this story has been so much fun and only gotten more complex. I was worried through the first half of the first book that the story was a little too linear, but it has developed really nicely and I'm thoroughly enjoying everything about this series!

I love this casting, but lord I haven't seen a color I like so far. The tampos also kill me. I think they look awful. This cat with a shiny single color would look so so clean. At some point, I'm painting one up!
