    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    Hmm this thing is awfully tempting. Terms say 95$ yearly fee, but I think that's probably still worth it if you travel at all? I'm currently using a plain old Chase Visa that does "fine" as far as points, but it's nothing special really. I live off my card and typically run about 2k/month...

    Retro Game of the Month February 2018: Secret of Mana (SNES)

    So I played through this again, or most of it anyway, and boy has it just not aged well. Enemy AI is often pathetic, the ring menus are clunky and annoying to use, the higher charge time weapon skills are pretty questionable to even exist, most encounters can be won with just spell spam locking...

    Ah yea they sent me the replacement card first for a 650$ deposit cause I can't be without a computer at home for work reasons etc. I just got an email today though that the deposit refund is coming this week, so all good now.

    Did you do the cross-ship thing where they take a 650$ deposit? If so how long did it take them to refund that shit.

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Not sure I like the random loot in this game. So far I'm pretty sure I hate all the weapons besides the odachi and the regular sword, but I currently can't really use either of them because I haven't seen a drop even close to my level for those types in forever. Currently using a shitty axe just...

    Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)

    Man this movie was just great. Everyone in it is a terrible cunt and it all just works out so beautifully. Woodys chess movie was such a perfect fuck you.

    Okay I wasn't quite sure on this game until I watched some nerd on Twitch run around trying to punch cows to death to level up his skills. Holy shit I'm sold.

    Yea that should be a pretty significant upgrade. You'll very likely want some kid of SSD to boot off, but otherwise it looks totally fine.

    If you need a new computer I'd take that yea. You'd be paying that much or more just for a 1080 trying to build one on your own right now.

    RE: Arena The game itself seems like it's put together well enough. The shortcuts have they have implemented to try and improve the flow of play for casual matches actually work pretty well, but if you want to play for real you can just turn full control mode on and it works just like MTGO...

    The issue with Jace is the potential for him to crowd out any other midrange strategy. There's a very real scenario in which he is good enough that the format warps to be hyper aggressive plans (burn, affinity, etc) or decks that go over the top of Jace (tron, valakuk, etc.).

    Yep, they sent me a 1080 to replace my 980 TI just like, 10 days ago. I still haven't mailed the 980ti back, I could almost get more for it on the secondary than the 600$ deposit they took for the 1080.

    I'll be laughing my ass off when he gets rebanned in 6 months and everyone loses their shirts on 150$ copies of Jace. Masters 25 reprinting at mythis isn't gonna touch his price. He'll be 150$ until he gets banned again.

    It's still super sweet if you can handle the weeb factor. Best combat system in any MMO to date. And yes, it still runs like a fucking foot somehow.

    The problem is is that people use its weighted mulligan system as a crutch and then get punished hard by normal draws in subsequent turns. All kinds of decks run only like 27-28 power sources (some of which are often tutors which means further thinning)in their 75, which is pure madness and only...

    You still have to pay whatever entry fee for MTGO, so 8tix/80 points for friendly 12tix/120 points for competitive. The only real difference between the two is how prize payouts work, so if you just want to grind matches friendly is easier to go infinite. You can borrow whatever you want up to...

    Even if it's the same company, something has changed, and changed drastically. Current era cards legitimately feel like cheap knockoffs next to older card stock, or even foreign stock of current cards. It's absolutely damning when they are right next to each other. Foils have been a problem for...

    The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

    I'm sure some portion of that if them being salty at not getting any kind of early screening/review time and it just being widely available out of the blue, that easily makes sense. But lets be real, neither of Bright nor this movie are the kinds of movies that will ever review well, on average...

    Altered Carbon

    Yea her story just takes a big steaming shit all over the internal consistency of the world, which is why I have such a hard time understanding why it exists? It adds nothing of any value, and just undermines everything else by its very nature.

    Altered Carbon

    That's my biggest problem really; everything they changed/added from the book story is just flat out worse? I don't get why they did any of it. Kawahara being his sister just fucks up all the motivations there and replaces it with some muddled familial morality crap that just doesn't work...

    Pray, it's a whole different ballgame from the first 3. Expand like a huge fucking coward, don't ball up your troops or the aggro will chain forever and you'll die. Food is super scarce so don't be afraid to use great ballistas early on to save on it.

    EVGA is just shipping me a 1080 I guess for the RMA on my 980 TI. 650$ deposit for them to send the card first, but over all this seems great? Huzzah for warranties I guess.
