Is it just me or is The Egg better than To the Moon, despite only being a "common" card?

Profiting the most from To the Moon requires so much discipline, Whereas Egg only requires luck and patience, and you can always harvest it instead.

I guess I know that common cards can often be better than less common cards (e.g Shoot the Moon can be as useful as The Baron), but I felt this was worth commenting on.

On that note, how would you guys rank the different Economy Jokers? ::: spoiler For me, as follows: S-Tier;

  • Rocket
  • Trading Card

A-Tier;

  • Egg
  • Rough Gem (This one seems so much more effective than you'd think it is, i guess it pushes me to pivot into flushes when you find it)
  • Mail-in Rebate (super effective)

B-Tier;

  • Business Card
  • To-Do list
  • Gift Card (with the sell-price mult joker it makes a beautiful, very fun, combo. Not many other synergies but that synergy is so good it gets B tier.)

C-Tier;

  • Golden Joker (End up keeping it a lot when i get one. A little extra pocket money goes a long way)
  • Satellite (Usually less effective than I'd expect.)
  • To the Moon (if i need to do hectic last-minute shopping before the Ante 8 boss, I'm getting rid of it anyway)

D-Tier;

  • Matador
  • Cloud Nine
  • Reserved Parking
  • Golden Ticket

F-Tier; (Hardest to trigger)

  • Delayed Gratification
  • Faceless Joker :::

How many of the choices you made in high school actually affect your adult life today?

Was talking about home economics as a school subject in another thread and i realised that for me personally, taking "Food Tech" (cookery gcse) would have impacted me pretty negatively, even though generally speaking GCSEs don't have much of an effect on the rest of your life or education.

So i wonder if anyone else has similar revelations? My post title is also phrased more openly than that, so it doesn't have to be school specific, but i am mainly interested in things from the teenage time period.

::: spoiler Another choice i made in HS, for instance: i remember being really glad to have a medium-size group of friends in high school, but in retrospect they were terrible people and i realise that there would have been huge benefits to spending more time alone and in the library - yes, i genuinely look back and wish i studied more, lol. Something which I'm always told never happens.

This one "affects me as an adult" because i ended up entering adulthood with several friends determined to force their personality to be cool, relying on manosphere influencers to determine how they should behave; a lot of these people i didn't want to know in the first place. :::

If someone could DM me every day not to leave things until the very last minute, it would be greatly appreciated

That's all, and I'm serious - who will be my 'crastination champion? Step on up, step on up! I can't ask people I know irl to do it because they'll either get too lazy with it (you see why I am the way I am, huh?) or be weird and annoying about it. Just a DM on a regular basis saying "don't procrastinate today/this week!" (A week might be better tbh) Would be grand.

How to get started with pixelfed?

Making this post instead of just figuring it out myself is maybe a very lazy thing to do, but here:

I made a pixelfed account a while ago and it seemed kind of hard to navigate and I also only saw a handful of posters. However, since then I have seen loads of people mentioning it across lemmy, and from them I get the impression it's actually more active than I assumed? With a lot more posters.

So if anyone can give some tips for how to navigate and get started on it, it would be appreciated. I have some specific questions:

  • Does pixelfed have instances like Lemmy does, or is it just one instance?
  • What is it federated with? Can, I for instance, view Pixelfed posts from Lemmy?
  • Just to double check - it doesn't have DMs like Instagram, right?
  • Does it utilise tags on posts, like Instagram used to do and tumblr does?
  • Any specific ethos I have to bear in mind, like "don't post too much" or "only post your own stuff"?

Thank you.
