TopicValve's new card game is like ''playing three matches of a regular card game

No Longer Free To Play
With most card games, the business model is as important as the game itself. Valve is incorporating a number of lessons from Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The first is a shift away from the pure free-to-play models that have defined other card games over the years. Before we played Artifact, a group of press sat down with Gabe Newell to talk about Valves hopes for Artifact as a marketplace. When youre in a free-to-play environment, you end up with this tendency that rarity equals power, Newell said. So youre trying to create get this artificial relationship [between the two], and thats not the case at all with Artifact. Newell promises that common cards will be among the most powerful, and that the company will try to steer away from pay-to-win models as much as possible.

Players will have to buy in to receive their first few cards (what that buy-in will be Valve isnt sure yet). From there, they can buy additional card packs. Valve sees opening card packs as a competitive opportunity through draft-style and closed deck formats. Newell thinks of every card pack purchase as part of a shared economy, one where the cards you have retain their value because theyre actively being traded. To that end, Valve is letting players treat their cards the same way they would physical ones. If you dont want or already have a card you bought from a pack, you can just sell it on the Steam marketplace. If youre looking for a single card to complete the incredible deck idea you just cooked up, you can go and buy it directly from someone else, without having to burn money on card packs until you get it, getting cards that are useless along the way. This attaches real value to individual value to each card that you can trade in at some point.


Or, in other words, Valve is going to milk you for every dollar and call it "value".

Do you feel the same way about CCG's in real life?

Oooh yeah. There's a reason they're called "Cardboard Crack".

Holy shit people are delusional itt. Like out past left field and over the fence.

Twitter for starters is a private platform. If Trump uses it to broadcast a message it may be that that is, itself, an Official Statement of the Presidential Office. The contents of the message then should be available to everyone, and they are. Anyone can read them and talk about them. Trump's Twitter feed, however, is not confined by any laws as to what must be allowed to be put in there.

Go find a law. Do it. Find a law stating the President must allow people to post in his Twitter comments. Find some language in the books that can even be vaguely construed to mean the President must allow anyone to post in his Twitter comments, because today has been a shitty Friday and I could use something funny to laugh at.

The article writer seems to be missing the key issue of why there's an epidemic and just wants to bitch about how shitty their life is due to chronic pain.

I was prescribed Vicodin when I had my wisdom teeth removed. No request for it, had very little pain, and they handed me a piece of paper for a bunch of damned Vicodin. There is a very serious issue with doctors handing this shit out like it's candy to people who don't need it.

When I had my appendix removed, it was done via laparoscopy so I had pretty much no pain at all during recovery except for some very minor pain when getting out of / into bed, and they STILL offered a Vicodin prescription if I wanted it.

Same thing for me and my wisdom teeth. Only a little soreness the day of and after. Gave me a script for 7 days of Vicodin. Never bothered to pick them up.

Seven Deadly Sins was a success for them as well, afaik.

I'm glad they're investing in Anime because 1. It is a niche market with a ton of gems, and 2. It will assist in the globalization and diversification of the genre and pull it away from the toxic clutches of waifu-obsessed otaku that need pedo-pandering and constant Yuri to satisfy their unsatiated sexual urges.

You should absolutely get professional help, even if it takes every fiber of strength you have left in you. I spent 3 years trying to survive with panic attacks by myself when I was 12 years old and it left me scarred and with a lot of PTSD--When I became agoraphobic during the summer of my 15th year I couldn't hide it from my family anymore and they got me help. But really, they only paid for the appointments--I had to fight myself every minute I was outside to get there, I had to expose myself to the crippling panic and anxiety and confront it, and I had to keep faith in myself that it would eventually work.

It did, and I've grown to become a better person for it but you have to fight for it.

The building that is required in Fortnite ruins it for me, personally. That clip in post #37 looks more like a building-fight than a gunfight.

I really enjoy the PvE in Fortnight, but the devs didn't do enough to encourage cool adaptive building design in favor of "just repeat a template building and slap some traps on the outside facing enemy spawn".

Fun game and I played it A LOT for about a month last year, but I lost interest.

I don't get it. That looks like the same style of fighting and fun that a lot of modern day FPS games have today.

not even close

the movement skills required for QWTF completely dwarf modern FPS games by a huge margin, not to mentioning proper aim and positioning are far more important in QWTF given the generous amount of projectile based weapons compared to ADS hitscan that runs rampart in modern FPS

PUMPuKl

modern games dont have skills like trimping, concaim, sharking, true bunnyhopping, rampslides, chophopping, concjumping, etc

Those all sound like made-up mechanics that came about because of unrealstic game design.

As far as I know we still have no way of 3D-printing high-strength components needed for the chamber, bolt, and barrel of any gun assembly. This would limit any printing to a partial print with traditionally manufactured metal or extremely low-pressure bullets with a low life expectancy.

Would this ban stripper clips as well? Stripper clips can be used to fairly rapidly reload internal magazine guns.

There is also the issue that there are literally 3-fold+ more magazines than there are magazine-fed firearms, and trying to collect and destroy every one would be a logistical enforcement nightmare.

Bill being in a position of power doesn't make it non-consensual, it just makes unethical. If Bill actively leveraged his position to coerce her into sexual intercourse for threat of her job, then there is an argument to be made it was non-consensual or illegal in a similar manner.

It be feelin' like the life that Im livin' man out of control
Like every day Im in a fight for my soul
Could it be that my medicines the evidence
For pigs to stop and frisk me when they rollin' round on patrol?
And ask Why youre here?
I just tell 'em cause it is what it is
I live here and thats what it is
He chimed You got a dime?
I said Man, Im tryin' to smoke and chill
Please dont lock me up in front of my kids
And in front of my wife
Man, I aint got a gun or a knife
You do this and you ruin my life
And I apologize if it seems like I got out of line, sir
'cause I respect the badge and the gun
And I pray today ain't the day that you drag me away
Right in front of my beautiful son
And he still put my hands in cuffs, put me in the truck
When my woman screamed, said Shut up
Witness with the camera phone on
Saw the copper pull a gun and
Put it on my gorgeous queen
As I peered out the window
I could see my other kinfolk
And hear my little boy as he screamed
As he ran toward the copper begged him not to hurt his momma
'cause he had her face down on the ground
And Id be much too weak to ever speak what I seen
But my life changed with that sound
