    Too bad, other companies spent 20 years making magic clones using other IPs and papa wotc wants their mother fucking money.

    Well, The Walking Dead secret lair were all functional new cards, so I imagine 40k will be too.

    Hasbro investor call today: -WOTC is now a full division of Hasbro, no longer a subsidiary of their Traditional Games group -Warhammer 40k Secret Lair -Lord of the Rings Mainline Expansion Set (probably same slot as the D&D set this year, but for 2022)

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    My favorite was when the players realized item level was complete nonsense, and that the newbie gun was the best gun in the game by a country mile once your character's item level started increasing. Your displayed damage (including the actual damage numbers popping off) had nothing to do with...

    Eh, not getting potter vibes, it's Wizard College. The houses track much more closely to degree programs than any sorting hat nonsense. WotC has done wizard academies before as prominent plot locations/points. If anything it's more weeaboo shit story for the Kenrith twins. Already had a...

    Picked up a Foil Full art Ron Spencer Mana Crypt in a trade, which was probably a dumb use of trade equity. Do I further compound the bad choices by getting Ron to sign it? Basically all my Ron Spencer cards are signed by him, including the commons, because when he was still an active artist...

    The real bet would be whether they fuck up normal d2 somehow in the process of releasing the remaster, like they did with Warcraft 3

    Yeah, the japanese demonic tutor is gorgeous, but someone walking by an EDH table is going to have no fucking clue what game you're playing at this point. Prismari Command is spicy, it's like Kolaghan's Command and Izzet Charm had a retarded love child.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Warning on Warlock, it will make you want to neck yourself out of boredom in TBC if you're pushing deeps. Blood elf Paladin with busted Blessing of Sacrifice again sounds like a good time.

    If the Amazon MMO's subscription cost isn't 20% cheaper than other games it's failing to embrace its brand!

    Honestly I'm considering it, upswing of half my family dying in the last year is plenty of life insurance money kicking around and a desire to turn my brain off by playing vidya gaem.

    Unfortunately the KC microcenter doesn't look like they have any 3080s prebuilts, just $3500 3090 one and a bunch of 2060s.

    https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/february-15-2021-banned-and-restricted-announcement WotC put on their murderin' boots before coming to work this morning. I approve. Although honestly at this point consumer confidence should be completely shot. Don't buy any card over $30...

    Miniature Painting

    Yeah, see it a lot in Magic alters, people expecting it to be like $5 for a full repaint of a card and wanting display quality at that price. Choosy beggars and whatnot. It's fun when people drop multiple grand on a hobby thing, then balk at the idea of paying more than single digits for...

    Zedruu is still one of my favorite commanders just for getting to Donate Illusions of Grandeur years later. Less impressive when 20 damage doesn't actually kill the opponent, though. But you do what you gotta do.

    The tail costs also drop off significantly as long as you pick a hipster faction so that you don't get spammed with new stuff like Space Marines.

    New Star Wars MMO? (EA no longer has exclusive on Star Wars games)

    My friend works on SWTOR, it apparently still generates enough monthly profits to support development costs on other projects in addition to its own. Dunno if that will remain true once there's another star wars mmo available

    Huey was my raid leader in WoW for the last six months, he is at the point where he doesn't even want to look at a magic card unless he's getting paid to. Amusingly, most of our local brick and mortar stores have had some of their best years ever during the plague. Nerds dumped their stimmies...

    When folks have talked about in on the major channels ibuypower or maingear tend to be the ones that come out looking the better after price/construction/customer-support were considered. But I don't have personal experience with either.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My mythic guild disbanded last night, pretty much universal agreement amongst the officers that they loathe the expansion, and constant recruitment to deal with churn. My 6 month sub runs out this week, so probably gonna take my every decade-or-so break from WoW.

    The outline I found online tosses 5x10 at 40/50/60% after the three sets of higher percentage. 3x5 warmup. "5/3/1 Boring But Big". Then 50-100 for accessory work.

    Decided to try out the 5/3/1 thing folks mentioned a couple months ago when I was starting up. Going from 25 deadlifts in a session to 80 is definitely an experience. I wasn't usually sweating much at the end of the major compound lifts, but was definitely sweating today!
