There's a $750 (still pricy but less so) consumer model too, I just grabbed the pro model because I'm assuming that's what he's using

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Just waved back to someone who I thought was waving to me and I was wrong, and I’ve still got another three hours in this building. Excuse me while I crawl into a embarrassed hole for the next 38 years

Sorry you’re right. In that case I’m sticking to white ghost lol

Jeff Veillette @jeffveillette.bsky.social · 20h

With that said, Checkered (which is the deck being referenced in the replied to post), is the best way to get a feel for jokers and the like and get your first gold stake. Fun, additive game once you get the hang of it

White plasma. Gives you a Polychrome Joker off the hop. Your end goal will build around mime and baron with repeaters (dupes, blueprint/brainstorm etc). Goal is a deck full of red seal steel Kings, and to lean into High Card. Build up good money to start and pivot towards the setup as you go

Hate to bug, but looking for tips. Which deck(s) offer you the greatest chance at scoring big? My greatest score was using the 2 suit flush deck (can’t remember name)

My buddy and I have been going back and forth trying to beat each others scores. Every time he tops mine it derails my push for Completionist++ but it’s fine

A lot of jokes about this but it was smart of the Jays to cycle through like this and have the Yankees batters off balance with the angles, release point, spin and pitch variety.

NST shows Montreal ahead at 5v5 as well (2.7-2 raw, 2.8-1.9 adjusted)

Looks like Toronto was noticably behind in All Sits too until 6v5. The empty net goals were worth 0.93 and 0.94 xG because, well, they were being shot in close on an empty net

Cut it at the last 5v5 shot, and it was 3.0-2.3 MTL all sits
