100+ hours of progress in a hobby is a huge hit and it feels like it's getting blown off because it's "just a video game." If instead the dude had deleted a manuscript that his roommate had spent 100 hours on, or destroyed an art project he'd spent 100 hours on, would y'all still feel the same way?

I get that this reddit thread is probably just a shitpost, but the discourse here is bumming me out... Like, the dude stealing the beans is clearly in the wrong, but this response is also wildly disproportionate.

if i were the editor-in-chief of a major news outlet, i would just publish the alphabet as the headline and body text of every article and make edits/corrections based on reader feedback. i would call this “living journalism”

the really disheartening thing about the prevalence of scams is that instead of talking about it like a public policy problem, we all act like it’s on every grandma to stay vigilant

one of tech’s biggest problems is that it used to invent stuff that made people’s lives better and easier and in recent years has pivoted to “fake money for scams” and “plagiarism machine that puts you out of a job”

i'm so glad the baby boomers are named that and the other ones have kinda cool names. it's like if Generation Midnight, The Guardians of the Millennium, and The Turbo Teens were all doomed by the edicts of the ancients known as the bitty bumpy bippity-bop boopy boys

Come to think of it, she's right, he really doesn't seem to like women, does he?

But then over time, as you get better and better, you realize you need some of those raw stat blobs to be successful, even when building around cool legendaries and at high levels, decks end up being a pretty healthy mix of a variety of different rarities.

And because the raw stat checky dudes in CR tend to be kinda boring, it's actually really cool when you get a legendary because they feel unique relative to something like Musketeer, which is a staple ranged DPS unit, but is painfully boring when put next to something like Magic Archer.

Which means that even when he's lagging behind on level, you can play E Wiz effectively in a way that you can't play somewhat similar common and rare cards. It's sorta like how supports manage to be useful in LoL, by not relying on stat checks, they can forego raw DPS and stat checks to be useful.
