    If it's pay to win how are people freerolling then? It's win to play free.

    Well, there's enough variance plus the buffer you get when you go up a tier etc that you could hit mythic with a sub 50 percent win rate. Frank Karsten did a whole article on it.

    MTG: Arena

    If you're winning 60 percent of your games in the middle tiers you'll level up reasonably quick. If you're rocking a 50 percent win rate in the low tiers you'll cap out at gold/plat though unless you get a real lucky streak.

    Problem with Lockjaw is it was a hamfisted method to alleviate the launch population of RF, when that would have taken care of itself in a couple of weeks when people went to more normal life schedules. Same shit likely to happen with these new servers. One will be dramatically more popular...

    Aladdin (2019)

    Haven't watched B&tB, but thought Jungle Book was pretty good but not particularly great. These things have high production value and obviously they're casting some high profile people, but it sill feels like these movies are just going to be hit or miss.

    What's real crazy is the early foils. Sold my playset of Foil Grim Monoliths for 3800 a year and change back. It's since gone back down to around 700 each, but that's Urza's Legacy, which isn't particularly rare compared to those early expansions. Without print numbers I'm sure there's got to...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    Not just minors, but your MLB contract until you get to arbitration isn't great either. As a young dude it's basically your signing bonus for getting drafted high that's a thing, then you need to make through to arbitration and if you're a good player then you make bank.

    The Expanse

    Need to start watching season 3 soon. First 2 seasons were decent if not particularly great. Still feel obligated to support since even decent SciFi shows are uncommon enough that I want the genre to grow/improve.

    Only watched season 1. Thought it was decent but not great. Might need to watch the rest of it at some point.

    Most of those decks run a Krasis or 2. A lot of those decks don't run Teferi anymore since they're going U/G or BUG now instead of Bant.

    Aladdin (2019)

    These live action Disney remakes are bound to have some shitty ones I'm sure. Jungle Book was pretty good, haven't watched Beauty and the Beast though and this trailer wasn't particularly good even if I don't quite make it out to be a tire fire like some pople have made it out to be.

    Yeah. Wonder if it was some issue with getting Blanchett again or if they had no plans on doing it at all.

    Still kind of disappointed that they didn't use Hela for some of the Death stuff. Would have made Thanos make more sense.

    Dune (2020)

    Saying he was shit in Star Wars and Xmen doesn't necessarily mean much of anything. Those movies are mostly shit. Plenty of real good actors in those franchises, but you can't always overcome garbage scripts and studio interference. Ex Machina is great and he was a big part of that.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Things are all relative and change to whatever fits current narratives. Deep dive into Cosmic Marvel beings and it gets pretty wild. Death, Eternity, Living Tribunal, Beyonder, Mephisto, etc.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Kind of hard to gauge Affleck as Batman since those movies were mostly shit top to bottom. Good or bad, he certainly wasn't the biggest issue.

    I mean they'll probably throw in some small wrinkles but something close to that seems likely. I'll roll up characters though because I can't resist the meta guild shitfest that's been building up.

    Hardcore = 2 month onlocks with slow xp, Casual 4 month unlocks and faster xp and otherwise phinny/coirnav clones. This seems like something super lazy and uninspired and low effort that could legit happen. Sad thing is if it happened a lot of people would still play since at this point I...

    People remember all kinds of dumb shit. Don Mattingly hit 6 grand slams in the 1987 season. Sea otters are the largest weasel. My gym locker combination in 8th grade was 26, 12, 42.

    This and MTGO are very cheap/freeroll if you're good at the game. The top 10 percent or whatever it works out to basically get supported by everyone else, and if you're in the bottom 25 percent or so it's always going to be kind of brutal in games like this. With the dailies and prerelease...

    Knicks are only 14 percent for that, and then there's the rest of the trade to balance salaries and all that shit too. Even if the Knicks get the first pick there's no sure thing. But yeah, of course it was smarter for them to wait and see. The Lakers trade will likely still be there if other...

    free loot in addition to the click AAs means getting the first AA click means the whole guild gets it. First Emp Robe/Shawl is going to be a real big deal.

    Not saying it was a good offer necessarily, just that it doesn't make them the old Lakers. Having an all star level player and basically all their picks for awhile plus their own picks are just very different things.

    That's not exactly true though. Holiday is a good player and they'd have a shitload of draft capital.
