Do you feel your Crohn's makes you more or less afraid of the weekly wheelspin on what food has been contaminated?

On the one hand, my body is an absolute piece of shit that I have no faith in so one wrong thing and maybe I'm in the hospital. On the other hand, that would still be my life even if we had a functioning FDA.

Can anyone recommend a binder with transparent sleeves?

Most binders have that black backing, I'm looking for one where I could flip the page and see the backs of the cards on the other sides. Anyone know of any quality binders like that?

How's The Hobbit in Sealed?

Been out of the MTG scene for a couple years now, but I'm considering going to a sealed pre release tonight. I live in the middle of nowhere so it's a bit of a drive (2 hours) so I'm just looking to gauge how people are feeling about the format.

I know Sealed can be tougher to evaluate than draft because you can get so blessed/screwed by your pool, but how have people generally been feeling about Sealed Hobbit? Fun set? Would you say it's more aggressive or slow?

Finished my random project: full foil version of Patrick Chapin's 2007 Dragonstorm deck

Something I've been slowly collecting for close to 15 years. Just a really great moment from when I was heavily invested in competitive Magic and a deck I always had a lot of fun playing. Clip below for those who haven't seen it before.

Is a dedicated airfryer going to be better than a Breville Airyfryer/Toaster Oven?

I have the Breville BOV860BSS, it's the first "air fryer" I've ever owned, but I question whether it's actually doing the job. I see everyone talking about how great airfryers are for getting nice crispy results, but literally everything I airfry in this thing just comes out soggy, except maybe pizza.

I've had it for like a year now and I'm considering just tossing it and getting a small dedicated airfryer, but I'm not sure how much better it will be.

Anyone tried the BOV860BSS with similar results? Did a standalone airfryer do better?

Seeking advice from experienced sellers

Hey all, I'm looking to sell my collection as I have moved to the middle of nowhere and have no friends or LGS to play with/at.

The thing is, I've literally never sold anything online before. In fact the only thing I've ever sold is an old car of mine.

I have a \*lot\* of spare time on my hands right now, so I've already decided I want to individually sell my cards (potentially in small bundles if it makes sense via ebay). My goal is to extract the most value possible, I don't mind the additional work it requires.

So I'm just seeking general advice from people who have experience selling singles or small lots on ebay. Do you prefer eBay or TCGplayer? Do you use both, and list cards simultaneously? Anything to look out for? Anything you wish you knew sooner?

Thanks for any advice!

(My collection consists of over a thousand cards in the $5-10 range, a couple hundred in the $10-50 range, and 30 cards in the 300-500 range. I also have complete sets of a few random old sets like Ice Age, The Dark, and the whole Odyssey block, I'm assuming it's best to sell those on eBay as the whole may be greater than the sum of its parts?)

Using real people in artwork seems like a PR disaster waiting to happen?

This is regarding the new Khan / Shelly reprint where they used Cumberbatch's image for the artwork. Doesn't this seem really risky from a big company POV?

I'm reminded of when Blizzard Entertainment had to change the name of one of their Overwatch characters because he originally shared a name with a developer who ended up being a terrible person.

Now that's just a name, no physical likeness to worry about. What happens when you print tens of thousands of pictures of someone's face and then learn later they're a monster? This is obviously nothing against Cumberbatch specifically, I've never heard anything bad about him, but it seems to me that every time you do this you're flipping a coin on generating a pretty ugly look for your company.

Edit: thought of probably the best example right after hitting post. What if UB had kicked off a few years earlier and we had Kang the Conquer cards with Major's face floating around everywhere?

Edit 2: Just want to clarify since some people seem to be interpreting this as me complaining about the situation - I haven't voiced my personal opinion one way or the other. The only thing I'm saying is that I'm surprised a corporation of this size isn't more worried about something like this in the modern era.

Thoughts?

Whoever casted the kid for the young Mule part deserves a raise

10 months late, only just finishing season 3 now. Just wanted to say the similarities between the actors playing the Mule were absolutely insane. I knew exactly what character I was looking at from literally the first second he showed up on screen.

Only other show I've seen with that type of casting is Dark, and that's a high fucking bar.

Could we remove the Zulrah jank?

I get this a 20+ year old game cobbled together with spaghetti code and that jank can't be avoided entirely. That being said, I find it so annoying the way Zulrah will pop up and be "clickable" a full second or so before you can actually hit her. If it queued your initial attack that would be fine, but the fact that you have to click after that delay for your character to actually attack feels so bad.

Apologies if this happened to be mentioned in the summer sweep-up thing, I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet (although I didn't find anything with a ctrl f on Zulrah).

Pleae Jamflex, remove that delay or let us queue up an attack as soon as she's clickable. If it's some load-bearing jank and fixing it would break Herblore or something then so be it, but figured it was worth a post.

Stash space in this game is criminal

Returning player, haven't played since season 0. Overall very impressed with how far the game has come, it's actually quite addictive now with horadric crafting and war plans.

BUT Jesus Christ, what is this stash space? The amount I have for my entire account is honestly what I'd expect a single character to have.

This is a loot based game, why am I so discouraged from hoarding loot? All these uniques have random affixes so I'm keeping multiple copies to reroll or just to have options if I swap builds.

*Please* give us more bank tabs!

(Also it'd be cool if we could choose an icon *and* color for the tab)

Edit - Just going to point out that while we have several people in the comments saying it's fine or calling people hoarders, there has yet to be a single legitimate reason why it shouldn't be expanded. Smaller companies like Eleventh Hour Games provide more tabs for free, it's not an unreasonable ask.

It's honestly great if the current limitations don't affect you, but surely it isn't difficult to imagine there are people who play more, or who simply play differently than you do?

I know Paladins released a while ago, but I'm only just now getting to them and wanted to shout out the excellent job Blizzard did implementing the holy/light aesthetic into a game as dark/grimy as D4.

It would have been very easy to slap together a bunch of super golden particles in the style of a WoW ret paladin and call it a day, but it would have looked really off in the more bleak/realistic atmosphere of Sanctuary.

This vibe they've gone with where it's very subtle gold with almost a kind of cold greyish light mixed in? chefs kiss Looks so good and conveys the theme of holy might without drowning out the rest of the game.
