I've had a little of a debate with a commenter recently where they've argued that "donating" (selling, in their words, because you can get money for it) your blood plasma is a scam because it's for-profit and you're being exploited.
Now, I only have my German lense to look at this, but I've been under the impression that donating blood, plasma, thrombocytes, bone marrow, whatever, is a good thing because you can help an individual in need. I get that, in the case of blood plasma, the companies paying people for their donations must make some kind of profit off that, else they wouldn't be able to afford paying around 25€ per donation. But I'm not sure if I'd call that a scam. People are all-around, usually, too selfish and self-centered to do things out of the goodness of their hearts, so offering some form of compensation seems like a good idea to me.
In the past, I've had my local hospital call me asking for a blood donation, for example, because of an upcoming surgery of a hospitalised kid that shares my blood group. I got money for that too.
What are your guys' thoughts on the matter? Should it be on donation-basis only and cut out all incentives - monetary or otherwise? Is it fine to get some form of compensation for the donation?
Very curious to see what you think
Recently got into the game with a deck that a buddy if mine built for me: Jabba Yellow. The basic idea is that I play as many capture cards as I can to control the board with a mid-rangey mix of units, and then steal them using Dryden Vos and overrun my opponent with card quality. Additionally, I play 3 copies of Maul since it's just a really good card and 3 copies of Rancor.
Now, I've only tried the deck a handful of times and have been somewhat pleased with its performance. However, after I've added two more copies of Dryden Vos to complete the playset, I'm afraid that I might not have enough ramp (or none actually) that would support the high-energy-cost-leaning curve of my deck. I used to run 3 copies of Resupply but cut them all because I felt like they were dead draws whenever I did draw them. Ordered a playset of Technician as ramp but, again, I'm wary that it might be too little ramp.
Should I run both 3 Resupply as well as 3 Technician? It feels to me like Resupply is just a dead draw most of the time since I'm not developing my board state and don't have anything to contest it with.

After some debating, I decided to turn it off. We'll see how it goes and decide if it makes sense to turn it back on.

I've played the game for like 10-15h around half a year ago and stopped. Picked the game up again after the new update and am struggling with re-acquainting myself with the controls, but I'll get back there I think. More importantly, I don't know when to take opportunities to come out and make plays.
For context, I played a round yesterday where I found the boss lair after a single clue which was in the neighbouring compound. I went there by accident and started the fight. Looking for a boss weapon, which I didn't know didn't spawn next to the boss lair anymore, I attempted the Assassin without a weapon and almost got killed. After wasting a sticky, I ran in the attic and hid there for like 35 minutes, listening to my surroundings in the hopes of finding a hunter. Fast forward a little, I managed to find a hunter that's been trying to kill the Assassin themselves for like 15 minutes straight and killed them, then I had like 5 minutes left to kill the boss and extract but didn't get it, so I just extracted.
Ultimately, I just spent 35 minutes in an attic doing nothing which wasn't as engaging. Any tips on how to make myself go out of my way to make proactive plays?
It's been a couple months since the bot has been reworked and posted content here. I'm checking in regularly to delete the posts that don't make sense, but apart from that, I let the community give their feedback in form of upvotes and downvotes and comments.
From what I've gathered, the reception has been good so far with some negative reactions here and there.
Do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions? Do let me know :)
