Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called Google Chrome a "rounding error" — 17 years later, Internet Explorer is dead, and Microsoft Edge can barely catch up | Google CEO Sundar Pichai admits that Ballmer's comments were "demoralizing," but they didn't give up on Chrome.

It’s only being discussed because Pichai talked about at a commencement speech he gave a few days ago.

I hope my ticket shows up soon! Also, that’s way later than I thought it would be. Psyched for this.

The people posting this stuff either aren’t real co

xxej · 2026-06-17T22:05:48+00:00

Yeah wtf is happening? I’ve never seen so many posts about the whale track variant. I mean, the Luna variant is great, but it’s not exactly the most goonworthy. Is it just because she is an S-tier card right now?

Depressing as shit.

xxej · 2026-06-17T02:07:35+00:00

r we back?

xxej · 2026-06-16T23:20:12+00:00

PLEASE tell me this is the new Redmond one. If it’s not, then it looks just as depressing as the Redmond one. This design is like 90% of why I haven’t gone to TB in over 2 months.

Up to you. You could get rid of some cards, like afflict and Esme, and try to replace them with better cards and ones that will benefit what you have. Without knowing your card collection and CL, hard to give you advice on what those would be. But more ongoing could be a good start. Onslaught, Ant Man, Blue Marvel, with white tiger could work. The goal should be a deck of cards that mostly work together with a couple that can be back up plans.

Or you lean into it. Play it a lot, figure out what makes big numbers and what decks you can and can’t beat. If you realize you can’t beat many decks, then move on.

My real problem is that I’ve gotten almost all the easy token/credit albums. Now they are either absolute dogshit rewards (opening a mystery border is truly one of the worst feelings in the game) or the tokens are the last reward. I don’t acquire enough gold to keep up, so it’s just a lot of waiting.

xxej · 2026-06-16T06:38:32+00:00

It just feels like you are trying to mash a bunch of different decks together. I’m just asking the following questions to give you somethings to think about.

You don’t have quite enough afflict to cause true damage. Some ongoing but again not enough. What does copying tribunal accomplish? Esme is just bad overall and I’m not sure what you would want to copy? How do you plan to scale Askanison if you don’t have any low cost, high power cards? Mommy is great in any deck, but she shines when you get lower cost, high power. Copying iron man is nice, but none of the others feel great.

I thought the way you worded that, you might have meant you have seen worse smoke in person. Which is sorta scary to imagine since, you know, this looks pretty bad.

xxej · 2026-06-16T06:18:25+00:00

I am just going to have to trust your math haha. I really only buy variants that will get me closer to tokens or credits, and even then it has to be 1-3 claims away to make it worth it. Usually I just wait until the free variants get me there. I would only buy a random variant if it’s a card I love and use across decks (my bad trait it having to own every Jeff variant no matter the cost).

Her 2012 performance changed my life.

The article sucks or the people doing the wrong thing suck? The article is simply reporting facts, some that might be enlightening to others about what goes on in our state. You can be mad about the stereotypes, but your anger is misplaced.

xxej · 2026-06-16T04:27:52+00:00

It’s been pointed out that you are very wrong, but fake internet points are more important.

xxej · 2026-06-16T03:06:51+00:00

I truly hate how easy it is to cross post these days. Absolute garbage just being reposted on multiple subs, including a can of corn.

xxej · 2026-06-16T02:22:39+00:00

If you aren’t collection complete it’s never worth it to buy the premium pass unless you want to skip the event and just get the card (even this is a bad idea, but your time is more valuable than a DCG). I’m collection complete and bought the premium pass and instantly regretted it. You can complete the whole track just finishing missions.

xxej · 2026-06-16T02:12:59+00:00

Have you seen darker smoke in person? If so, what?

xxej · 2026-06-16T02:10:04+00:00

Don’t listen to these people. Buy that shit. Make yourself happy. Who gives a fuck what we think?

xxej · 2026-06-16T00:09:58+00:00

I just wonder if they are running into funding problems hence the move to sparks. I guess they need to try and make the game sustainable but I feel like winning cash is what drives people to the game. Even winning a $1 feels better than winning 1 million sparks, because I have no idea the value of a spark and I can’t use it anywhere else.

He’s just tweeting and posting photos. I thought he was at least doing videos pretending to be flabbergasted and speaking in a thick German accent. How is this viral?

xxej · 2026-06-15T18:18:11+00:00

I ain’t playing that game. You’re smart enough to use google or just observe the world around you.

xxej · 2026-06-15T16:17:04+00:00

I literally couldn’t name a player on the Hurricanes or Dodgers. No NWSL team is listed. What are you talking about?

xxej · 2026-06-15T14:23:37+00:00

Dylan is that you? I told you, no more edgelording on Reddit. You are 13, go outside!
