Thanks! Would you recommend it for someone’s first playthrough, or only for subsequent replays?

I just finished playing Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and have started Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. I keep checking wikis and forum posts for information, since I hate missing things (especially things that you can’t get back to). I think from here on out (I’m in one of the 3 Scenario Selects) I’ll keep it as blind as I can.
I finally downloaded Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, and think it’s pretty cool. But maybe it’s just because I haven’t played a Metroidvania in 2 years.
Last but not least, I tried the demo for Big Hops after seeing Giant Bomb’s Unfinished video on it. 3D Platformer that feels very good to move around in. Not sure how deep the story will go, or what mechanics they’ll be adding as the game progresses, but it’s been a delight so far.
Premier draft should be a full pod of 8. Older sets have 15 cards per pack in draft boosters, but I want to say it was around MKM when they switched to 14-card play boosters.
In a pod of 8, Pick 9 in a pack will be your first pack wheeling. You’ll only get to see the first 5 packs wheel around (in 14-card play boosters), and a lot of the time those last 1-2 picks in a pack will be a basic land or something completely off-color for you. Don’t worry too much about it as you start out, but yeah, it can help indicate a color that’s very open.

News@lemmy.world•Debbie Dingell appears to sleep in House meeting; drops fiesty reply
10·8 months agoNot to be a weirdo, but wow, I guess they don’t have copy editors, because I believe the word should be “feisty”
They did note a few small things wouldn’t work, like waking the system remotely using the home button on an old JoyCon, but for actual playing, it should work fine.

Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•Officially have been a DM for 10yrs - AMA
2·10 months agoOnline groups! There are great ways to play using things like Discord or other voice options, along with digital tabletops (roll20) or virtual tabletop applications (Foundry, Talespire, Tabletop Simulator or even the new beta for Project Sigil).
Online has its own set of bumps and friction points, but it can be a good way to get your feet wet with the rules and also practice the role play part. Just make sure that you’re finding a group that is like-minded. There is often something called a “session 0” where the group will discuss the expectations in behavior and roleplay and responsibilities. It doesn’t always happen with online groups, but in that case make sure you have a DM who is setting those expectations in advance.
Rule 0 still exists. This is meant to help give a quick distinction for playing in “untrusted groups” where you don’t know what other people consider a “7.” You can state clearly that by the brackets, your deck is considered a 3, but also mention that it plays out more powerfully, like a 4.
For most players, this is a pretty helpful guide:
- 1 is for your jank and meme decks. It’s not designed to be strong, it’s just to do something funny.
- 2 is for precon level decks. Not awful, but definitely not optimized. A number of budget decks and pet decks may fit in here.
- 3 is for your good decks, but with the caveat that they’re not full of the salt-inducing “game changers” or Mass Land Destruction or 2-card combos that go off turn 2.
- 4 is for your best non-CEDH decks. Push it as far as you want, understanding that other people at the table likely did the same
- 5 is for CEDH. If you don’t know what that is, you’re not playing a 5, just a powerful 4.
I know that most of my decks are 2s, or a 3 with 1-2 Game Changers. None that would really be 4s, but sometimes I can play them at a 4-level table and still luck out into a win.

News@lemmy.world•Huntington Beach to vote on ‘MAGA’ plaque for library’s 50th anniversary
18·1 year agoUnfortunately, yeah. Back on r/losangeles people knew the reputation of HB (and a number of other beach communities, especially as you push further south).
Truly ridiculous, though, to want to commemorate a building like this with the name of a movement that wasn’t there when the building was built, and has no ties to the purpose of the building. They rage about identity politics but have somehow tied their identity into their political beliefs.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump's Justice Department ends Biden-era task force aimed at seizing assets of Russian oligarchsEnglish
181·1 year agoWell, no one voted for"Genocide Joe" because Biden was not in the election. I’m sure there were a number of people, though, who abstained from voting for Harris because she also did not represent their wishes for the situation in Palestine, though to me that feels like being a single issue voter.
I don’t understand the quote or run-on sentence of yours. People should indeed try and campaign for candidates they believe align with their ideals of governance.

21·1 year agoI groan at yet another account situation… But I adore RGG’s work, and will do anything for more Yakuza. Yakuza 3-5 remastered was the reason I even got myself a PS5. Yakuza 0 and Kiwami were the reason I got my PS4.

News@lemmy.world•Dangerous cold will soon hit much of the United States. Where temps will be subzero.
27·1 year agoI’m in the LA area. Glad that we’re staying above freezing, especially in the wake of the fires.
But seriously, it feels like we’re getting these humongous weather patterns fairly regularly now. Maybe someone should investigate what’s going on with our global climate and causing these.

Los Angeles@lemmy.world•'Life-threatening' windstorm expected to hit Ventura, LA counties Tuesday, NWS reports
2·1 year agoI’m over near the Eaton Canyon fire, and man has the day taken a turn for the worse for me. Power went down at 6:34 last night, and I’m not in an evac order zone… Just a quarter mile from an evacuation warning zone.
Spent an hour getting everything together in case I have to pack up my animals and roll out. Still no power as of 7AM.

4·1 year agoHow’s everyone doing so far?
I took precautions yesterday out in Arcadia, and so far things have been fine, aside from all the dead leaves from a tree forming a humongous mound in my yard.
In my experience working with kids of all ages, from toddlers to high school students, the biggest thing is enthusiasm and energy. If you’re faking enthusiasm, they can tell. If you’re not excited and happy to be there, no one will be having a good time. Obviously everyone ticks differently, but you gotta make sure that it’s something you want to do. Once you’ve decided on that, the actual interaction becomes much easier and more genuine.
I think you definitely have the right mindset, since you’re looking for places to get involved. Just jump in earnestly and it’ll work out.
Not sure what the public opinion is on this, but I used to volunteer with Union Rescue Mission occasionally, and through my church I’ve had a few chances to help out with other orgs and shelters.
There are groups that do trash pickups, especially around the hiking trails and public spaces.
It was a one-off, but my work had a volunteer service day last year where about 15 of us showed up to help out at Catholic Charities of LA over in Long Beach. We helped hand out food for lunch and pack up food bundles for the holidays.
Not sure about how available for commitment you are, but if you’re good with kids and are down to really put yourself out there regularly, look into Big Brother Big Sister. It’s one of those things I know can make a big change in a kid’s life, but I’ve never had the commitment or drive to volunteer myself.

Games@lemmy.world•Day 161 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post ScreenshotsEnglish
4·1 year agoI haven’t been active in TF2 in years, but I have 2.9k hours, all without idling for items. That game was basically another life for me, around 2010-2016. In that timespan I picked up PC gaming, got into shooters, got into TF2, joined a community, started collecting strange weapons, got my first unusual and traded it, and captained a Highlander team as Pyro.
The game was and still is amazing; I only ever stopped because it was becoming detrimental to my life and schooling. Now, when I try to play, I mourn the loss of my old community servers, get frustrated with my worse skills, and despise the number of bots I run into on Valve servers.
