Topic | Magic: The Gathering - New Capenna and Explorer incoming |
VintageGin 11/09/22 2:08:10 AM #239 | They're technically not required to go to different planes and can still do three set stories. Thay's basically what they're doing with Dominaria United, Brothers' War, and Phyrexia. But blitzing through different gimmick planes is probably better from a marketing standpoint. It's easier to sell things if the multiverse is treated like a theme park with the Fairytale Plane, the Viking Plane, the Magic School Plane, and the Cyberpunk Plane. It's the same reason Planeswalkers are pushed in everything (and why they're almost all human). It's easy to market them and to create merch/etc for your fire mage superhero who will make an appearance on every other plane you go to for the next 15 years. It's not as easy to get players attached to characters whose stories entirely take place on their plane and who can't simply hop to the Cowboy Plane or whatever comes next. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

VintageGin 10/12/22 4:20:13 PM #217 | I don't really have any issue with the Post Malone SL. The $1000 proxies are so dumb. They could have offered a full set of dual land proxies or power 9 proxies at a much lower price and people would have eaten that shit up. The transformers stuff I'm not a fan of due to the weird aesthetic clash and the fact that it's in Brothers' War set boosters. Just seems silly that you can get Optimus Prime in one of those. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

VintageGin 10/01/22 4:03:56 PM #373 | Good question, just looked it up: Cleaner-burning gasoline is fuel that meets requirements established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). All gasoline sold in California for use in motor vehicles must meet these requirements, which have been in effect since Spring 1996. Cleaner-burning gasoline reduces smog-forming emissions from motor vehicles by 15 percent and reduces cancer risk from exposure to motor vehicle toxics by about 40 percent. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

VintageGin 10/01/22 3:07:27 PM #370 | Forceful_Dragon posted... Can anytime explain why California having something like 55~60 cents of tax per gallon of gasoline results in us paying nearly 3 full dollars more than the national average?My understanding is that California uses a different blend of gas and so is dependent on a seperate set of refineries. There was an issue with some of those refineries recently, so gas prices jumped up in CA. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

Topic | PSVR2 will not play PSVR1 games |
VintageGin 09/16/22 3:20:50 PM #16 | UshiromiyaEva posted... This PSVR thing is actually not that bad compared to the open market stuff, at least there was actually a generation of time between them. I am fairly certain the Vive/Index has been the best in this regard. As far as I can tell, the old Vive headset is still supported on everything (mine is...6? years old) and you can also mix/match between the two (I have Index controllers with a Vive headset/tracking towers) Of course, it's tied to your PC and not an all-in-one, so that makes things easier --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

VintageGin 08/19/22 3:41:31 PM #56 | Yeah I think they could have made it more obvious that the treasures were optional. I kinda figured they were since they're all golden statues with no description/meaning obviously attached, but I admit I questioned whether there'd be a meaningful payoff after all Its also weird that the game doesn't tell you that you only need --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

Topic | Tunic is awesome |
VintageGin 08/18/22 5:55:17 PM #49 | Paratroopa1 posted... Oh, this is a complaint I agree with really strongly, actually. I think the idea of having cards that give bonuses they don't clearly explain is fine, but they should be really powerful - especially in a game like Tunic where the combat is extremely hard, it would be very rewarding if there was a 'puzzly' way to solve combats by figuring out what the upgrades do and which ones would be best for each fight. But basically all of the cards are near worthless in power which really sucks. Getting more slots for cards doesn't even feel good because they're so irrelevant! I do think this was a huge misstep in the game's design. The peril rings are quite good, and I found the lucky cup to be pretty handy. But yeah, none of them are amazing. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

Topic | Tunic is awesome |
VintageGin 08/17/22 2:49:56 AM #1 | Just finished it. Probably my game of the year unless something amazing comes out. I love the way that it pays tribute to old game manuals (particularly Zelda 1). I love the exploration, finding new pages and figuring things out. There were so many "Oh shit, I GET IT NOW" moments throughout. The game provided just enough hints that I basically never needed to look anything up with the exception of a few Figuring out I'm not always a fan of games that make me pull out pen and paper, but I think it was handled well in this game. I'm never gonna figure out how to translate that language though. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

Topic | Would you rather know... |
VintageGin 07/22/22 3:45:29 PM #51 | This is pretty hard. I think I'd probably choose >10k mainly because the second option would make interactions with people pretty awkward. Being able to know all the details of someone's private life would make things a lot easier if you're looking to manipulate someone, but probably a lot harder if you're trying to bond with that person. And while I could always just not use the power, that's what I tell myself every time I discover some overpowered strategy in a game. So I know exactly how that would go. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |
