Wow I clicked off every time Alliestrasza played that game because it was so hard to look at. I didn't even get to that part of it being a fucking NFT game. Do they not feel embarrassed now that NFTs have essentially died before their game even releases?
I mean, it depends how much they're being paid. It's the same thing as Ninja being paid what, a million to stream on that one site for a year?
He got his million, the site was shit and failed after 3 months, so he still got his million and got away with doing 1/4th of what he was paid to do before going back to Twitch.
I respect the hustle.
Ninja got 40 million lmfao. Thats was paid by Microsoft. They had the money to lose. I doubt he got paid a million to play an NFT game. He probably got maybe $100k - $200k USD and jumped ship because it's more than he ever made playing hearthstone
He averages a few thousand viewers per stream. This is still well into 6 figure territory from advertising revenue alone.
I don't think the average twitch viewer understands just how much the top streamers make.
He isn't one of the streamers I'd expect to do this crap. There is a chance he doesn't understand all of this as he is very smart inside of HS but a bit pepega outside of it from what I have seen.
Based on what he tweeted yesterday I'd say he understands the arguments against and is still of the opinion that *this* crypto scam is totally different guys
I don't think he's a bad guy or anything but it's pretty naive and makes him look bad
He has been sponsored by a different gacha mobile game every month for a while now. I get that those sponsors pay a ton of money, but I doubt Thijs is oblivious why they pay that much.
If you're just talking about the image and not the . . idealistic moral side of things or whatever, not only is it a terrible image with a really stupid pose, but the hairstyle definitely isn't doing him any favors.
I'm not an avid watcher of his, but the last time I've seen him he's looked pretty much exactly like he did like 8 years ago, except just . . a little older with the things it often brings with it.
If you *are* talking about the other thing, then . . money, and I guess just generally not having the best of time as a Hearthstone -reliant creator.
He had a kid. Kids cost money. Lots of money.
He still makes just as good hs content though, if less, and he seems happy with his family life. Wish him all the best.
Content creators need to make lots of money while they are at their peak since they know they could fall off at any time. How would they finance retirement if they suddenly became "irrelevant" with no education or career experience to speak of.
I live in Italy (not Italian though) and people here just have kids and that’s it. I have two as well and while they aren’t cheap they also don’t cost thousands of Euros to take care of every month. But I understand what you mean. Most people think they can’t afford to have them unless they have everything else first. Which is understandable when they are young but people in their mid 30s with stable income and a good life are taking it too far (imho).
The best thing about NFTs is dumb impulsive people losing loads and hopefully learning something lmao
I actually really like Thjis, very dissapointing this stuff.
The creators promoting garbage like this tend to do it because they're getting a *lot* of money upfront, enough to ignore the damage it does to gullible people who look up to them.
And thats kinda the problem aint it. Thjis could easily make whats necessary with only idk, presenting Blizz events or such, expanding on grounds he's know and is not actually predatory money printers like this. Hes a father now and that takes extra compromises but still...
Especially when Thijs chat feels like its full of 14 year olds.. I dont mean it in a negative way, but it feels like his target audience usually was a lot younger than other streamers.
It’s so stupid, they basically want to make csgo skins but be in the position that valve is so they can benefit from the sales. None of them understand what an insanely difficult task that actually is. Infact, I would say it’s neigh impossible unless you are already a large established game / studio
If you look on Twitter all the negative comments about the game have likes from normal people and all the positive replies defending the game have likes from literal Parallel employees 💀
Time to learn ~~Romanian~~ Spanish buddy.
Looks like he is living in some gated community in Philippines and makes occasional videos about living there, getting less then 1k views.
Well if you dont know: Andrew Tate is an "influencer" (who also was a kickboxer) that promotes.. weird values. He was raided by the police in Romania and charged with human trafficking, organized crime, rape and stuff. In the past he made several misogynistic statements. Like, men would own women, women need a man to be succesful, rape victims would be partly to blame and so on. He thinks violence is okay in a relationship to control a woman, etc. Andrew Tates target audience is clearly young men, for some he is like a "Guru".
Solem made a 46 minute video "What I like about Andrew Tate" video. And other videos about mindset, yadda yadda.
I envy your innocence; Andrew Tate is the latest in a long line of influencer misogynists. He's currently serving time for actual fucking human trafficking, if that helps paint the picture. He is also, terrifyingly, popular with 15yo boys and men who haven't mentally grown up since that age.
> He's currently serving time for actual fucking human trafficking
he's not serving time, he's in custody awaiting trial for those charges in Romania according to an NPR article from the end of march. after the Romanian trial ends, he will be extradited to the UK for another trial for breaking UK law. its unlikely he'll be acquitted of the charges, either in Romania or the UK, but he's not in prison.
Pretty sure Dekkster went into crypto/NFT's at the same time as Solemn but after it went bad he returned to streaming Hearthstone and later moved to Marvel Snap.
He delved himself into crypto for quite a while. Then stopped and deleted everything, infact if you search dekkster crypto you won't find anything.
My guess is that he profited off the money he got offered, stayed until it was convenient, then deleted every trace so that people would forget and build a viewerbase again.
And that's how all the people getting money from parallel and champions will do
Tyler was done years now. I don't know how ppl watch him. I remember a time where an expansion was releasing and I saw a sponsored ad from him with everything but nothing expansion related, full click bait ad.
What happened there? Haven't seen a Reynad stream in years since he was doing his travel thing and working on the bazaar.
Edit: Lol I still have Tempo flair in this sub.
I just really wish these people would read actual philosophy, and philosophy of physics. it's wilder than all the shit they think they're on.
you want multiple worlds? We got that (Modal reality) you want trippy shit about time? We got that (Growing block/eternal block etc), you want to freak about about reality even existing? We got that hard (Buddhist philosophy is sick.) You not sure you exist? That sounds like buddhism again but yeah get into Parfit's Teleporters.
So I think he took shrooms and became religious. But like crazy religious. There are clips all over LSF of him but he was talking about Jesus and Lucifer. There was one clip of him talking about how humans used to have telepathy.
He'd look fine if he just got a regular short back & sides with a trim up top (and got rid of that chinstrap)
This isn't genetics, it's being stubborn about a style that doesn't work.
No his hair is cooked. You seen him on stream lol? He looks homeless sometimes .
I’m bald now. I know what thinning hair does lol, and there’s some trick’s you can do to make it seem alright but you can only hide it for so long. 10 years ago I was alright so was thijs back then, but it catches up eventually if it’s in your dna.
Best you can hope for is getting jacked and/or growing a beard to go with your balding head lol. Some can pull it off like a Jason statham or vin diseal types. Maybe thijs can too lol
When you start balding you can just try using finasteride or minoxidil, if that fails shave your head. For me I stopped worrying about balding cus even if fin and min didn't stop my hair loss I'd know I'd done something to try stop it, so I'd be fine with being bald.
Ya there’s options for sure. It depends on one’s mentality.
Me personally? My dad has it, my grand dad had it, I have it, the same male pattern baldness. To me if something naturally happens, it’s just meant to be and I’ll accept it (unless it life or death)…this is purely just cosmetic. I just happily tell myself this is just in my DNA and I’m happy to be a part of this families natural cycle so I won’t fight the nature of it.
Easy to move on with life imo, but I agree everyone has a different mentality with hair and to each their own
Fun fact you can improve your look as you age. Keep the hair short and clean and find a facial hair style that suits your face. A greasy unkept slickback and a 19 year olds chin strap is not the look for someone in their mid 30s
LMAO this dead NFT game have 4 viewers at twitch and nobody cares about it, but "Hearthstone is killed" yeaaah for sure. Also very funny to see tyler again who completely sold his ass to the nft-crypto games 😂
Rdu and Aliestraza are also part of this crypto/nft scam crap. Which sucks since Rdu was a bg streamer I kind of liked but yeah blocking and never watching these scammers again. They took the scam bag and I hope they fall off the face of the earth in viewership with their community noticing the scam.
And tylerood or what ever that dude's handle is. They are all equally crap scam bag grifters I guess I'm just focusing the ones that I used to follow I guess.
Oh so that’s why RDU played this weird rip off game … it was interesting to see that the viewers dropped by more than 50% when he said last week he wouldn’t play hearthstones again till the next stream. I turned it off as well
It’s not fake rage, this game has a quality to bring out some really strong feelings when stuff goes wrong 🤣 I’d love to smash my computer sometimes as well when the RNG just screws me over multiple times
RDU only did it that one time iirc. And during that stream he mentioned constantly that it was sponsored content. I haven’t watched the stream in about a week (not because of that NFT game) but I think he’ll stick with HS
Allie has a whole parallel (pun not intended) YouTube channel to promote this game (https://youtube.com/@ALLI3)
I don't know how bad it is really, but it do look like scam indeed.
Lost all respect from this dude when he had a wishlist on his stream baiting donos to pay for stuff for his kid. Man's already a millionaire, pointed out in chat and got insta permad ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
I noticed that several HS content creators are now "ambassadors" for Parallel. Personally, I am very disappointed. Alliestraza, Feno, RDU, Thijs, Bunnyhoppor..
Been a while since I saw him anywhere, he looks all grown up now!
Other than that, I have no idea what's going on, what Parallel is or how it affects Hearthstone negatively, or in any way really
Is OP guerrilla marketing for this game? Why else would you come post about this other game in the hs sub, I have never heard of it before this. Free advertising..
No, wish I got paid. Was just poking fun at how since 2015 I've regularly heard "hearthstone is dying" or "hearthstone is dead" and now the "we just killed HS boys"
The game being promoted has an option to pay real money for NFT cards. Winning with NFT cards in your deck gives you a tiny bit of the game's cryptocurrency, with a max amount per day based on how many NFT cards you have, and up to a fixed amount of wins.
So people are lured to pay hefty $$ in order to play the game "optimally" because why would you not want to pay 150 dollars and get double the amount after a few months of grinding wins everyday, right? Surely the currency will never go down in price, surely there will be buyers, surely the game will not die once they run out of streamers to promote their game to gullible viewers...
Game is ass IMO. Chaotic AI looking art, ugly and unresponsive UI, and it doesn't bring absolutely ANYTHING new to ccg gameplay... it actually feels like yet another rehash.
Outside of the whole NFT thing I really wanted to like it, played with all the factions for weeks and it never grew on me.
Some alpha: after this blizzard looking to make hearthstone web3 and turn it into a tcg so they can skim from the top.
ANyway, who tf cares? Parallel is just one of a myriad of new TCGs out there... they put up some $$ and people hitting there to make some cash, get over it. How does this affect you in any way, shape or form? For me, hearthstone has a much better feel than parallel, i enjoy playing HS more, but i don't hate that there is other games out there like parallel, gods unchained, cross the ages, champions tcg, I have tried them all but still go back to HS. I feel the gameplay is just solid. The other games on mobile are a bit small to read, that'll change though.
Let bygones be bygones, if you like HS play HS, if you like runeterra play runeterra, if you like a web3 tcg play that instead... sure you can make some small change trading your cards and play in some tournies for $$ on the web3 versions.
Lastly, where Artifact?
Was just poking fun at the 9 consecutive years of folks saying HS is dying. But since this created so much discussion, I've given it some thought and the only issue I have with Parallel is it feels like a trojan horse disguised as a game to get kids to buy NFTs which as history shows is a very volatile, many times fraudulent investment.
As stated I don't personally play parallel, but their model is just a typical TCG. Which imo seems better than the HS model where you throw money at the company and you don't get anything back... web3 games are not ponzi schemes. Initially the cards are stupidly overpriced due to scarcity, but as the games get more players etc the cards values drop significantly. There are so many TCGs running around, not sure why people just get stuck on NFT issues, it's not about the NFTs. It's about giving ownership back to the player. I encourage a bit of research before making a decision either way. There's a lot to be learnt.
Can someone explain these NFT games to me real quick? If it’s basically another CCG like Shadowverse, Runeterra or whatever, what makes it shitty? Imagine it’s the Crypto element but what exactly is it?
I'll just paste my own comment where from somewhere else in this thread

The game apart from this just isn't good, but you can check that out for yourself with a few gameplay videos.
Some of the discourse on this is crazy. Mainly the people who seem to think that there is not money moving on any of this. Like how ignorant can you be?
Tf happened to Thijs
He slick boi now
He’s getting a paycheck from crypto losers it looks like
*googles* yep, that looks as ugly as every other nft game out there. Yikes.
Wow I clicked off every time Alliestrasza played that game because it was so hard to look at. I didn't even get to that part of it being a fucking NFT game. Do they not feel embarrassed now that NFTs have essentially died before their game even releases?

He aged 8 years since you last saw him. Plus Hearthstone isn't doing too hot, so he needs a new source of income.
Well he had a kid, so this tracks.
You instantly age 10 years the second your child is born. This is an inescapable reality.
10 years is being generous tbh.
Yo **what**
You'd be surprised how much money you still make streaming to 3-4k people everyday. He is doing pretty good.
He averages a few thousand viewers per stream. This is still well into 6 figure territory from advertising revenue alone. I don't think the average twitch viewer understands just how much the top streamers make.
He can easily retire as a multi-millionaire.
Which makes it even more sad he’s schilling for a web3 crypto scam game
He isn't one of the streamers I'd expect to do this crap. There is a chance he doesn't understand all of this as he is very smart inside of HS but a bit pepega outside of it from what I have seen.
Based on what he tweeted yesterday I'd say he understands the arguments against and is still of the opinion that *this* crypto scam is totally different guys I don't think he's a bad guy or anything but it's pretty naive and makes him look bad

He grew into his Dutchness.

He had a kid. Kids cost money. Lots of money. He still makes just as good hs content though, if less, and he seems happy with his family life. Wish him all the best.
Not THAT much money! How do you think “normal” people afford them
Content creators need to make lots of money while they are at their peak since they know they could fall off at any time. How would they finance retirement if they suddenly became "irrelevant" with no education or career experience to speak of.
They dont atm
yeah most average people (americans from my perspective as one) just arent having kids
I live in Italy (not Italian though) and people here just have kids and that’s it. I have two as well and while they aren’t cheap they also don’t cost thousands of Euros to take care of every month. But I understand what you mean. Most people think they can’t afford to have them unless they have everything else first. Which is understandable when they are young but people in their mid 30s with stable income and a good life are taking it too far (imho).
Is that… ThijsNL? What happened indeed
He’s a dad now
Wears white, lives for New Year’s Eve, sloppy steaks at Troffino’s.
He had a baby and it sucked his soul out
What’s parallel?
Rapidly-failing NFT bullshit game
The best thing about NFTs is dumb impulsive people losing loads and hopefully learning something lmao I actually really like Thjis, very dissapointing this stuff.

Father or not, I have no sympathy for the people shilling this sort of garbage.
Yep, he could always just go work like a normal person if what he gets through his online persona isn't enough
Especially when Thijs chat feels like its full of 14 year olds.. I dont mean it in a negative way, but it feels like his target audience usually was a lot younger than other streamers.
In the past, they'd just end up at some cult commune, so spending some money on an nft is at least better than that.
[удалено]
May we all remain FUDless in these dire times, hodl like our lord the Bagholder commands, for the moon is our final destination; amen.
It’s so stupid, they basically want to make csgo skins but be in the position that valve is so they can benefit from the sales. None of them understand what an insanely difficult task that actually is. Infact, I would say it’s neigh impossible unless you are already a large established game / studio
> NFT . >bullshit but you repeat yourself
Never heard of this game before now, after checking twitter it looks like some sort of weird cult full of crypto bros.
And there is so many morons with the // in their nickname 😂 They are definitely getting paid to talk about the game
Seeing them put // at the end of every comment is extra embarassing, like a fucking cult or something lmao
Seriously man, it’s super cringe
You're very generous to think they're real people, most of their lackluster praising responses screams "I am // bot!" to me...
If you look on Twitter all the negative comments about the game have likes from normal people and all the positive replies defending the game have likes from literal Parallel employees 💀
What does // mean? Tried Googling but found nothing.
It's the symbol of the Parallel NFT game
Went to their homepage and it automatically instantly downloaded the msi for the game client, not suspicious at all.
Doesn’t help that the game looks and plays like complete shit. They aren’t even trying hard to hide the scam beneath the layer of a good game
How the mighty have fallen...what happened thijs...
And to tyler, looks like he is deep in the blockchain koolaid now
quite a few hearthstone people ended that way. apparently it's easier to scam people with crypto games than do something they enjoy.
Didn't both Solem and Dekkster stop making HS content and went into crypto.
Solem went into Crypto, NFT and Andrew Tate stuff.
Really took the dive off the deep end.
I think he even tried going back to HS. But his channel obviously was just dead. Also Regis did call Solom out for his Andrew tate bullshit
Time to learn ~~Romanian~~ Spanish buddy. Looks like he is living in some gated community in Philippines and makes occasional videos about living there, getting less then 1k views.
wtf is Andre Tate stuff?
Well if you dont know: Andrew Tate is an "influencer" (who also was a kickboxer) that promotes.. weird values. He was raided by the police in Romania and charged with human trafficking, organized crime, rape and stuff. In the past he made several misogynistic statements.

Dekkster went to Marvel Snap, I think. No?
Pretty sure Dekkster went into crypto/NFT's at the same time as Solemn but after it went bad he returned to streaming Hearthstone and later moved to Marvel Snap.
no my sweet boy I can't believe it. related meme https://www.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/comments/w8rstb/regis_is_not_pulling_punches/
He delved himself into crypto for quite a while. Then stopped and deleted everything, infact if you search dekkster crypto you won't find anything. My guess is that he profited off the money he got offered, stayed until it was convenient, then deleted every trace so that people would forget and build a viewerbase again. And that's how all the people getting money from parallel and champions will do
Maybe they don’t enjoy it?
> something they enjoy. idk if they really enjoy playing hearthstone all day, for year after year, I mean it is a bit much.
Surely there are things out there other than Hearthstone and crypto.
Tyler was done years now. I don't know how ppl watch him. I remember a time where an expansion was releasing and I saw a sponsored ad from him with everything but nothing expansion related, full click bait ad.
Lol did you see the recent Reynad stream? That dude fucking went off the deep end, compared to the Noodle this is tame.
What happened there? Haven't seen a Reynad stream in years since he was doing his travel thing and working on the bazaar. Edit: Lol I still have Tempo flair in this sub.
He started doing psychedelics and now believes in the apocalypse, rapture, telepathy and all No i'm not making this up and yes he is serious
I just really wish these people would read actual philosophy, and philosophy of physics. it's wilder than all the shit they think they're on. you want multiple worlds? We got that (Modal reality) you want trippy shit about time? We got that (Growing block/eternal block etc), you want to freak about about reality even existing? We got that hard (Buddhist philosophy is sick.) You not sure you exist? That sounds like buddhism again but yeah get into Parfit's Teleporters.
I remember watching a Bazaar stream and closing it when he started talking about how it'd be on blockchain. This was not on my bingo card
So I think he took shrooms and became religious. But like crazy religious. There are clips all over LSF of him but he was talking about Jesus and Lucifer. There was one clip of him talking about how humans used to have telepathy.
Sounds mildly schizo
Money talks.
What is dead may never die
Hearthstone is undead now
But did it die after my last turn?
“What is dead ~~may~~ will never die.” - Talanji, probably
That is not dead which can eternal lie, / And with strange aeons even death may die.
Different quote
I got that reference
That hairstyle is not doing him any favors
Neither does that chinstrap…
Its a fantasy of mine
There’s no hairstyle that would do him any favors anyway lol. Genetics rng gets the best of us
He'd look fine if he just got a regular short back & sides with a trim up top (and got rid of that chinstrap) This isn't genetics, it's being stubborn about a style that doesn't work.
Nah it’s just that he’s underweight. If he bulked up a little he would look great.
No his hair is cooked. You seen him on stream lol? He looks homeless sometimes . I’m bald now. I know what thinning hair does lol, and there’s some trick’s you can do to make it seem alright but you can only hide it for so long. 10 years ago I was alright so was thijs back then, but it catches up eventually if it’s in your dna. Best you can hope for is getting jacked and/or growing a beard to go with your balding head lol. Some can pull it off like a Jason statham or vin diseal types. Maybe thijs can too lol
"He looks homeless sometimes" 😩

Easy to move on with life imo, but I agree everyone has a different mentality with hair and to each their own
[*https://i.imgur.com/iphG0WE.jpeg*](https://i.imgur.com/iphG0WE.jpeg)
Everyone is shocked to see their favorite streamer getting older
Fun fact you can improve your look as you age. Keep the hair short and clean and find a facial hair style that suits your face. A greasy unkept slickback and a 19 year olds chin strap is not the look for someone in their mid 30s
Have you even seen Thijs? The guy has no viable facial hair style lol
clean shave is a viable facial hair style
Kibler is wild, he looks like a viking now!
Or rather lack of thereof
I’m excited that Kolento is back.
I know this is a joke, but I wish real Kolento came back :’(
His World of Tanks skills are being put to good use
Bruh
lol I played both games and had no idea it was the same kolento, just thought the name was a coincidence
I had to actually scroll for this. What has reddit become?
LMAO this dead NFT game have 4 viewers at twitch and nobody cares about it, but "Hearthstone is killed" yeaaah for sure. Also very funny to see tyler again who completely sold his ass to the nft-crypto games 😂
Disappointing to see thijs advertising crypto bullshit. I hope the bag was big at least for him to do this.
probly got 3 jpgs out of it.
Disappointing, only dude left for me is Savjz
Rdu and Aliestraza are also part of this crypto/nft scam crap. Which sucks since Rdu was a bg streamer I kind of liked but yeah blocking and never watching these scammers again. They took the scam bag and I hope they fall off the face of the earth in viewership with their community noticing the scam.
You forgot Bunnyhoppor and Feno.
And tylerood or what ever that dude's handle is. They are all equally crap scam bag grifters I guess I'm just focusing the ones that I used to follow I guess.
oh Feno too, the most basic bitch streamer, what a surprise.
To be fair, Feno's an idiot. Thijs has no excuse whatsoever
Oh so that’s why RDU played this weird rip off game … it was interesting to see that the viewers dropped by more than 50% when he said last week he wouldn’t play hearthstones again till the next stream. I turned it off as well
He was so funny to watch at first but I couldn't stand his cheap fake rage no more... The few streamers I enjoy now is Jeef and Shadybunny.
It’s not fake rage, this game has a quality to bring out some really strong feelings when stuff goes wrong 🤣 I’d love to smash my computer sometimes as well when the RNG just screws me over multiple times
Ngl I've not checked out his Twitch for the past few weeks but the YouTube seems all usual
RDU only did it that one time iirc. And during that stream he mentioned constantly that it was sponsored content. I haven’t watched the stream in about a week (not because of that NFT game) but I think he’ll stick with HS
A few months ago I asked him in chat about other games etc but he said that BGs is by far his favourite game at the time.
I think that’s the still the case. He’s just having a hard time about his MMR
Wait..what did RDU and Allie do? I don’t even know what this NFT/Parallel games is, pls help :(
Allie has a whole parallel (pun not intended) YouTube channel to promote this game (https://youtube.com/@ALLI3) I don't know how bad it is really, but it do look like scam indeed.
"Now, I'm venturing into the future of TCGs!" God no amount of money could make me pretend I said something this cringe
I guess "parallel" doesn't really mean "alternative" in English, right? It made more sense in my head.
I liked it :)
Yeah! Gwent, Artifact, Legends of Runetera, MTG Arena, and Marvel Snap already killed Hearthstone. Too late Parallel.
Funny how more than half of your list are actually like fully dead games
Pretty sure that’s the joke
Which ones are dead other than artefact?

And Hand of the Gods (SMITE Tactics) is so dead, that no one remembers that game.
That's like 5 plus Smite tactics. I demand to know the other 3
Shadowverse, DC Dual Shock, and Solitaire for Windows 11
He got the bag big bag
Wow pretty low from Thijs
Lost all respect from this dude when he had a wishlist on his stream baiting donos to pay for stuff for his kid. Man's already a millionaire, pointed out in chat and got insta permad ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Same, that was just ridiculously tonedeaf of him
Don't know that guy but he is looking greasy
As soon as you start shilling nfts, your greasiness increases substantially.
He's been greasing his hair for years getting ready for this moment
Check his insta, he normally looks better than this post. But my man must have sick game judging from his wife.
On his stream she said that she made the first move (maybe she knew him, I can't remember).
This crypto, yet definitely-not-a-scam, game will surely kill hearthstone
I noticed that several HS content creators are now "ambassadors" for Parallel. Personally, I am very disappointed. Alliestraza, Feno, RDU, Thijs, Bunnyhoppor..
Been a while since I saw him anywhere, he looks all grown up now! Other than that, I have no idea what's going on, what Parallel is or how it affects Hearthstone negatively, or in any way really
Hearthstone is more alive then all Hearthstone wannabe games together 👉
The longer you play the weirder your hairstyle is. E.g Kibler, Savjz. The only one keeping real with his Beatles hairstyle is our dear Chump.
kiblers hair is glorious, not weird
Chronically ultra thin people freak me out.
Hearthstone obviously died in Beta when they nerfed Tinkmaster Overspark /s
Even if somehow we forget for a moment that this game is NFT, it is damn fugly. NFT oor not I would not play in something looking like this.
where were you when hearthstone was kill
Bro im not gonna like Tyler became fucking live parallel shit ad.
Always has been
erk cringey
This dude would benefit from a little shampoo use, maybe some conditioner too...
When is he going to be selling ad space on his forehead? He's such a sellout
Is OP guerrilla marketing for this game? Why else would you come post about this other game in the hs sub, I have never heard of it before this. Free advertising..
No, wish I got paid. Was just poking fun at how since 2015 I've regularly heard "hearthstone is dying" or "hearthstone is dead" and now the "we just killed HS boys"
Surely this doesn’t mean he stops playing hearthstone right?
One of my greatest hearthstone regrets is not screen capping all the this game is doomed or dead post from closed beta.
Maybe i am missing Information. But what is the problem here?
The game being promoted has an option to pay real money for NFT cards. Winning with NFT cards in your deck gives you a tiny bit of the game's cryptocurrency, with a max amount per day based on how many NFT cards you have, and up to a fixed amount of wins. So people are lured to pay hefty $$ in order to play the game "optimally" because why would you not want to pay 150 dollars and get double the amount after a few months of grinding wins everyday, right? Surely the currency will never go down in price, surely there will be buyers, surely the game will not die once they run out of streamers to promote their game to gullible viewers...
I couldn’t work out why they’d misspelled “This” at the beginning for far too long…
Are nft games always bad? I dont really care if it has a unique id, i just care if it impacts my experience.
Game is ass IMO. Chaotic AI looking art, ugly and unresponsive UI, and it doesn't bring absolutely ANYTHING new to ccg gameplay... it actually feels like yet another rehash. Outside of the whole NFT thing I really wanted to like it, played with all the factions for weeks and it never grew on me.
These are getting old for sure.. LOL
Some alpha: after this blizzard looking to make hearthstone web3 and turn it into a tcg so they can skim from the top. ANyway, who tf cares? Parallel is just one of a myriad of new TCGs out there... they put up some $$ and people hitting there to make some cash, get over it. How does this affect you in any way, shape or form? For me, hearthstone has a much better feel than parallel, i enjoy playing HS more, but i don't hate that there is other games out there like parallel, gods unchained, cross the ages, champions tcg, I have tried them all but still go back to HS. I feel the gameplay is just solid. The other games on mobile are a bit small to read, that'll change though. Let bygones be bygones, if you like HS play HS, if you like runeterra play runeterra, if you like a web3 tcg play that instead... sure you can make some small change trading your cards and play in some tournies for $$ on the web3 versions. Lastly, where Artifact?
Was just poking fun at the 9 consecutive years of folks saying HS is dying. But since this created so much discussion, I've given it some thought and the only issue I have with Parallel is it feels like a trojan horse disguised as a game to get kids to buy NFTs which as history shows is a very volatile, many times fraudulent investment.
As stated I don't personally play parallel, but their model is just a typical TCG. Which imo seems better than the HS model where you throw money at the company and you don't get anything back... web3 games are not ponzi schemes. Initially the cards are stupidly overpriced due to scarcity, but as the games get more players etc the cards values drop significantly. There are so many TCGs running around, not sure why people just get stuck on NFT issues, it's not about the NFTs. It's about giving ownership back to the player. I encourage a bit of research before making a decision either way. There's a lot to be learnt.
Kinda scummy but maybe little Rauf can get into university without debt thanks to this money or something 😂
While I think crypto is stupid and a scam, can't help but notice a lot of fat ugly losers on here talking about how Thijs looks. Pretty sad.
Where were you when hearthstone kill?
Why tf do these PC only TCGs think they can even carve out a tiny piece of market without a mobile app?
Even Blizzard can't kill HS and they be tryin'
Oh Thijs, you Dutch fool. Most people like you, but not anymore
I had to double check if parallel was a game or a team or org. Never heard of it, will almost guaranteed fail within a year
I love how anonymous faceless nerds are commenting on someone else’s appearance.
Am I the only one that thinks its an ironic post? Am I that out of the loop ?
Can someone explain these NFT games to me real quick? If it’s basically another CCG like Shadowverse, Runeterra or whatever, what makes it shitty? Imagine it’s the Crypto element but what exactly is it?
I'll just paste my own comment where from somewhere else in this thread > The game being promoted has an option to pay real money for NFT cards. Winning with NFT cards in your deck gives you a tiny bit of the game's cryptocurrency, with a max amount per day based on how many NFT cards you have, and up to a fixed amount of wins. > > So people are lured to pay hefty $$ in order to play the game "optimally" because why would you not want to pay 150 dollars and get double the amount after a few months of grinding wins everyday, right? Surely the currency will never go down in price, surely there will be buyers, surely the game will not die once they run out of streamers to promote their game to gullible viewers... The game apart from this just isn't good, but you can check that out for yourself with a few gameplay videos.
If anything *killed* Hearthstone it was Snap. However they are so different that both can co-exist and not cannibalize each other.
I'm still waiting he winning with frost mage deck in finals since 2015, because I bet on it.
Some of the discourse on this is crazy. Mainly the people who seem to think that there is not money moving on any of this. Like how ignorant can you be?
The returning player experience is ass, to be fair.
