I think it's tough with card games because they come from a physical form of lootboxes. Being expensive is kind of baked into their lineage. Collecting cards is a big part of the fun, and if you made it very easy to do I think it's hard to say whether people would enjoy them as much.

I don't play any collectible card games anymore because I don't want to pay for it anymore, but there is something very entertaining about the model even if it's easy to argue it's a scummy business model by today's standards.

I haven't looked into this game beyond your description, but it does sound like a pretty weird model. Do you also have to pay for cards on top of that?

I remember kind of disliking the arena system in hearthstone because I liked the game mode a lot, but as a casual player it was really hard to get to play it much. I guess they wanted to keep people from spending all their time there since you didn't need to buy cards to play. I much preferred magic arena's drafts where you pay an upfront cost but get to keep all the cards you played with. Much more accessible for casual players and more satisfying, too, since you always get something out of it.

This meme is selling shovels, and the comments here are more than happy to dig holes it seems.

Nail clippers. Got them originally to help with a bad habit of cuticle picking, but I've learned they're weirdly useful. They can cut things in a pinch and no security check gives a shit about them unlike a pocket knife.

That game hurt. So many opportunities handed to us and thrown away.

You mean CE doesnt stand for "clear everything"? And here I thought more letters meant more clearing.

Yeah wow. Hard to imagine firing your coach mid season will improve things, but maybe they decided the writing was on the wall.

Yeah the sweet stuff isn't my thing either. Thankfully only a few are like that here. The others aren't acidic, but they're more just savory, not sweet. "Best Foods" is a pretty standard American style mayo from my experience, and isn't sweet.

Thanks for the info! What I had in France came out of a packet, so definitely wasn't homemade. I don't doubt doing it this way is good, though.

Thanks I'll keep an eye out for that brand, too. I haven't heard of that one before.

Probably not. There was an "american" section in the supermarket and most of it was things I've never seen before/and or british food. πŸ˜…

All I can say is they called it mayo, and this was speaking in French not English.
