How r/PoliticalCompassMemes has become Reddit's premier brigade, harassment and hate subreddit. (This is why you DO NOT hang out with Nazis!)
Generally we don't call out the large amounts of brigading, abuse and harassment that this subreddit gets subjected to because honestly it is an everyday occurrence for us. Occasionally some subs overflow to an extent in other subs, it is generally just a thing that occasionally happens on Reddit. And hate groups are almost constantly raiding us to attempt to troll and abuse us, however PoliticalCompassMemes has truly taken harassment and brigading to a new extreme.
WHY?
1.[MEME] PCM claims that they value 'diversity of opinions', but this is an established alt-right dog-whistle which actually means that they value hatred over actual diversity. And the truth is PCM is a place where you have to be nice to Nazis but where you are actually encouraged to attack marginalized groups. And you're certainly not welcome if you think that inciting harassment, violence and discrimination against non-white people, LBGTQ+ and women is bad. Even then their claim that they value other peoples opinions is an absolute lie, because when AgainstHateSubreddits expresses benign opinions like how we don't think that marginalized and vulnerable groups should face constant harassment on Reddit, their users begin frothing at the mouth with outrage. This outrage is deliberately stoaked by PCM's mods who have with a single minded determination created a toxic culture of hatred and harassment in their sub. In fact PCM users have become notorious for obsessively abusing and harassing anyone who might dare to slightly disagree with them. Brigaders from PCM often take particular pleasure dehumanizing black and trans people, e.g sending us messages like "you'll never be real women".
2. All it takes is a quick peak behind the facade to see that image that PCM attempts to present of a wholesome and welcoming sub is all smoke and mirrors. Pretending be frenly is just part of their strategy for normalizing hatred, discrimination and harassment. Take for example their 3rd highest voted post of all time: "Never Ask An Authright why their account is 2 weeks old". 60K upvotes for a post that is a tribute to their users who go around Reddit seeking out vulnerable users for targeted harassment, these are serial harassers who end up inevitably getting their an endless stream of accounts suspended.
Not only does PCM celebrate users who go around harassing and abusing others, the fact that they give them a megaphone to spew their hateful rhetoric is in fact a source of pride to them. [HERE] another post with 6k upvotes celebrating a PCM user who goes around spamming the N word to harass other communities.
3. PCM also believes in any and all ludicrous conspiracy theories created by other toxic hate groups that certain "left wing" subs-without-nazis get away with murder brigading, and they constantly demand that Reddit take action against against these heinous breaches of the Terms of Service. On it's own this is immensely hypocritical of these FREEZE PEACH Warriors who often also argue that Reddit doesn't have the right to create and enforce their own TOS. So PCM's constant harassment brigades aren't just an example of their gross hypocrisy and extreme dishonesty, but it is also an example of how hate groups project. Hate groups will literally accuse others of the very things that they are guilty of!
If you ever want to understand how dishonest the people are who make these conspiracy theories about us are, consider this comment by moderator of another one of Reddit's premier brigade, harassment and hate subreddits WatchRedditDie:
This is some real selfawarewolves material. Because WRD falsely accuses AHS of brigading all the time to smear us, but in the face of overwhelming evidence claims that we're lying about PCM brigading us?! Users of WRD are as hateful as they are delusional. This mod demonstrates that it is a fact that like PCM WRD is full of Reddit's most manipulative, dishonest, toxic and abusive redditors.
Being a member of a marginalized community makes an individual particularly vulnerable to hate and harassment online. People who spoke out against sexist, racist and anti-Semitic injustice also attracted vicious attacks, typically in response to their condemnation of hate and bias...
I think that it's fair to say at AHS we get far more users that come to this sub to troll, harass and/or abuse us then we get users looking to participate in good faith. We are a favorite target of Reddit's most toxic hate groups, and in fact a community's obsession with us is an incredibly accurate gauge as to how hateful a community actually is. Here is 40 recent examples of the trolling and abuse that we received from PCM users in the space of two days. This is only a small selection and it is only from two days. This harassment has been going of for almost six months now.
PCM: PoliticalCompassMemes is pretty much just a cesspool of transphobic, racist, and bigoted jokes that pretends to be in favor of all ideas. "Pretty fun if you ask me"
PCM hysterically rants and raves about how they are the 'victim' of 'brigading', but the truth is that in fact it is PCM who engages in some of the most egregious examples of vote manipulation on Reddit. Not only does PCM engage in vote manipulate to attempt to bury even the mildest criticism of their sub/cult, but their users also raid in such vast numbers that they often out number the users on this sub in excess of 30:1. It has become an absolute rarity for users on AHS to have a conversation without dozens of screaming idiots attempting to dog pile them. So much valuing other people's opinions!
[SCORE] [RATIO] [NO. REMOVED / TOTAL COMMENTS]
[SCORE] This many vary over time and these numbers are generally fudged by the website anyway.
[RATIO] Upvotes/Downvotes again these values may vary and they are also fudged by the website and I believe are even less accurate when a post goes below 0.
[REMOVED / TOTAL] comments statistics taken from Removeddit. Removed comments have in most cases been caught in our anti-brigade/anti-spam filter. In some instances some of the only unremoved comments are from snapshillbot and/or automoderator.
There are 3 visible comments, 1 was made by automod which leaves two made by AHS users. So out of a total 72 comments 69 were made by PCM users. That is 95% of participation in that thread was by PCM users and means there was almost 35 times more PCM users attempting to manipulate the thread than AHS users attempting to have a discussion.
Completely Buried Here are 50 examples where a post on AHS was completely buried and overwhelmed by many times more PCM user than AHS users. Most of these posts never got a score above zero, so they never received any exposure on anywhere other than againsthatesubreddits/new.
Completely Overwhelmed Here are 20 examples of the rare occasions when a posts manages to not get completely buried, but when PCM users still manage to appear in greater numbers than AHS users.
PCM isn't just content to sit back and ensure even that even their mildest critic is silenced, via downvote brigades, harassment and abuse but PCM celebrates how they will even manipulate content on AHS via upvote brigades. Example 1 A. During a DarkHumorAndMemes (RIP) raid on AHS this [USER] // [USER ARCHIVE] made [THIS] thread on AHS that was brigaded by DH&M to quickly reach to approximately 40 or so upvotes in approximately an hour or so before it was removed. B. Of course a few hours later PCM made [THIS] post celebrating DH&M's harassment brigades, and almost instantly users from PCM then brigaded that thread too. C. The result: In less than a day PCM and DH&M upvote brigaded [THIS] // [SCREENSHOT]removed post to a score of over 400. D. PCM then spammed trolling and abusive posts and comments on AHS. E. PCM then ensured [THIS POST] calling out their raiding was instantly buried.
Example 2 A.[THIS] PCM user made [THIS] troll post on AHS. B. Then [THIS]abusive PCM user made [THIS] post on PCM. C. Like clockwork the PCM brigaders followed, and the post on AHS received approximately 50 brigaders from PCM before it was locked and removed.
Edit:
The geniuses of PCM have again attempted to show that they don't brigade, by brigading! Once again we have more users from PCM here than from AHS!
PCM literally brags at how many of their users participate in their harassment campaigns.

These guys are stellar! TEKK closed at $10.30 today. Still cheap! If you don't like to read... you don't like to make money!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew Davey — Chief Executive Officer and Director Mr. Davey has over 25 years of experience within the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming ecosystems, as well as experience in the public sector. He is an experienced public company executive officer and board member. He has served in executive management positions across the gaming technology arena. Over the course of Mr. Davey’s career, he oversaw more than ten mergers and acquisitions and over $1.2 billion in debt and equity capital raised to support the companies he has led. Most recently, Mr. Davey was Chief Executive Officer of SG Digital, the Digital Division of Scientific Games Corp. (“Scientific Games”) (Nasdaq: SGMS). SG Digital was established following the purchase by Scientific Games of NYX Gaming Group Limited (“NYX”) (formerly TSXV: NYX), where Mr. Davey served as Chief Executive Officer and Director. The NYX acquisition provided Scientific Games with a vehicle to significantly accelerate the scale and breadth of its existing digital gaming business, including the strategic expansion into sports betting. In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of NYX, Mr. Davey developed and implemented a corporate strategy that generated strong revenue growth. Mr. Davey shaped company strategy to focus on digital gaming supplier platforms and content that provided various gaming operators with the underlying gaming and sports betting systems for their online gaming business. In 2014, Mr. Davey oversaw the initial public offering of NYX, and his experience in the digital media, sports, entertainment, leisure and gaming industries helped NYX recognize momentum as a public company. After the public offering, from 2014 to 2018, Mr. Davey oversaw seven acquisitions which helped establish NYX as one of the fastest growing global B2B real-money digital gaming and sports betting platforms. These acquisitions included: • OpenBet: In 2016, NYX completed the $385 million acquisition of OpenBet. This was one of the more complex and transformative acquisitions that Mr. Davey oversaw at NYX. Through securing co-investments from William Hill (LSE: WMH), Sky Betting & Gaming and The Stars Group (formerly Nasdaq: TSG, TSX: TSGI), Mr. Davey was able to get the acquisition from Vitruvian Partners completed successfully, winning the deal against much larger and well capitalized competitors. By combining two established and proven B2B betting and gaming suppliers, NYX was well positioned to provide customers with exciting player-driven solutions across all major product verticals and distribution channels. This allowed NYX to become the leading B2B omni-channel sportsbook platform in the market and the supplier to over 300 gaming operators globally with an extensive library of desktop and mobile game titles, including more than 700 on NYX platforms and more than 2,000 on the OpenBet platform. • Cryptologic/Chartwell: In 2015, NYX completed the $119 million acquisition of Cryptologic and Chartwell. The acquisition provided NYX with more than 400 titles of additional leading gaming content, a broader customer base, and direct exposure to PokerStars and Intercasino, part of the Gamesys Group (LSE: GYS) — two of the world’s largest online casino offerings. • OnGame: In 2014, NYX completed the distressed acquisition of OnGame, a premier poker content, platform and service provider. This acquisition provided NYX with one of the best poker products in the industry, access to several regulated jurisdictions, and a valuable talent pool that was instrumental in the growth of NYX. The addition of OnGame further established a path for NYX to continue its growth in both European and U.S. markets. These acquisitions, together with meaningful organic growth, increased NYX’s revenue from $24 million in 2014 to $184 million annualized in 2017. During that time, Mr. Davey helped build NYX to have over 200 customers in the global gaming industry and a team of 1,000 employees. Mr. Davey’s success at NYX ultimately led to its sale to Scientific Games for $631 million in 2018. Mr. Davey joined Next Gen Gaming, the predecessor to NYX, in 2000 as the Vice President of Technology, was appointed as Executive Director in 2003 and named Chief Executive Officer in 2005. Prior to that, he was the Senior Consultant for Access Systems, a company that specializes in the provision of back-end software for licensed online casinos. Prior to joining Access, Mr. Davey worked for the Northern Territory Government specializing in matters pertaining to the internet and e-commerce along with roles in the Department of Racing and Gaming. Mr. Davey received a Bachelor of Electrical & Electronic Engineering from Northern Territory University, Australia (also known as Charles Darwin University). Robin Chhabra — President Mr. Chhabra has been at the forefront of corporate acquisition activity within the digital gaming landscape for over a decade. His prior experience includes leading corporate strategy, M&A, and business development at two of the global leaders in the digital gaming industry, The Stars Group (“TSG”) and William Hill, and a leading supplier, Inspired Gaming Group (Nasdaq: INSE). Mr. Chhabra served on the Group Executive Committees of each of these companies. From 2017 to May 2020, Mr. Chhabra served as Chief Corporate Development Officer at TSG and, from 2019 to August 2020, he also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Fox Bet, a leading U.S. online gaming business which is the product of a landmark partnership between TSG and FOX Sports, a transaction which he led. During that period, Mr. Chhabra led several transactions which transformed TSG into the largest publicly listed online gambling operator in the world by both revenue and market capitalization and one of the most diversified from a product and geographic perspective with revenues of over $2.5 billion. Mr. Chhabra’s M&A experience is extensive and covers multiple global geographies across the digital gaming value chain and includes the following: • TSG/Flutter Entertainment Merger: In 2019, Mr. Chhabra led the TSG M&A team that was responsible for TSG’s $12.2 billion merger with Flutter Entertainment (LSE: FLTR). The merger between TSG and Flutter Entertainment is the largest transaction in the digital gaming industry to date. The combination created the largest publicly listed online gaming company with approximately 13 million active customers and leading product offerings, which include sports betting, online casino, fantasy sports and poker. The combined entity includes some of the world’s most iconic digital gaming brands such as Fanduel, Fox Bet, Sky Bet, PaddyPower, Betfair, PokerStars and SportsBet. TSG/Flutter Entertainment is one of the most geographically diverse digital gaming and media companies with leading positions in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany and Georgia. • TSG/Sky Betting and Gaming (“SBG”): In 2018, Mr. Chhabra led the acquisition of SBG from CVC Capital Partners and Sky plc, Europe’s largest media company, in a transaction valued at $4.7 billion. At the time of the acquisition SBG was the largest mobile gambling operator in the United Kingdom and one of the fastest growing of the major operators having doubled its online market share in three years. The acquisition of SBG provided TSG with (a) greater revenue diversification, significantly enhanced expertise and exposure to sports betting just ahead of the judicial overturn of The Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) by the U.S. Supreme Court, (b) a leading position within the United Kingdom, the world’s largest regulated online gaming market, (c) improved products and technology as a result of the addition of SBG’s innovative casino and sports book offerings and a portfolio of popular mobile apps, and (d) expertise in deeply integrating sports betting with leading sports media companies, positioning TSG to create more engaging content, deliver faster growth and decrease customer acquisition costs. • William Hill (LSE: WMH): At William Hill, from 2010 to 2017, Mr. Chhabra served as Group Director of Strategy and Corporate Development where he led several transactions which contributed to William Hill’s transformation from a land-based gambling operator in the United Kingdom to a leading online-led international business. Mr. Chhabra led William Hill’s entry into the U.S. sports betting and online lottery markets with the acquisition of four businesses, including the simultaneous acquisitions of three U.S. sportsbooks, Cal Neva, American Wagering and Brandywine Bookmaking, in 2011 for an aggregate purchase price of $55 million. These businesses ultimately led William Hill to achieve a leading position in the U.S. sports betting market with a market share of 24% in 2019. Additionally, Mr. Chhabra played a key role in structuring William Hill’s successful joint venture with PlayTech Plc (LSE: PTEC) in 2008. The combined entity created one of the largest online gambling businesses in Europe at the time of its formation and led to William Hill’s buyout of Playtech’s interest for $637 million in 2013. Prior to the transaction, William Hill had struggled in its attempt to establish a strong online gaming platform and a meaningful presence outside the United Kingdom. Mr. Chhabra has also successfully completed four transactions worth over $1.2 billion in Australia, the world’s second largest regulated online gambling market, and various partnerships in Asia. Additionally, he completed several technology and media related transactions, including William Hill’s investment in NYX, where he worked with Mr. Davey on NYX’s transformational acquisition of OpenBet. Prior to working in the gaming sector, Mr. Chhabra was an equities analyst and a management consultant. Mr. Chhabra received a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

In 2012, Mr. Bailey signed an agreement with Mohegan Sun to manage the day-to-day operations of the casino. In addition to Mohegan Sun’s operational expertise and ability to reduce costs via economies of scale, Resorts gained access to their robust customer database.

In 2015, Resorts established a platform to engage in online gaming by partnering with PokerStars, now part of the $24 billion Flutter Entertainment, PLC (LSE: FLTR), to operate an online poker room in Atlantic City. In 2018, Resorts announced deals with DraftKings and SBTech to open a sportsbook on-property and online.

Occasionally some subs overflow to an extent in other subs, it is generally just a thing that occasionally happens on Reddit. And hate groups are almost constantly raiding us to attempt to troll and abuse us, however PoliticalCompassMemes has truly taken harassment and brigading to a new extreme.
WHY?
1.[MEME] PCM claims that they value 'diversity of opinions', but this is an established alt-right dog-whistle which actually means that they value hatred over actual diversity. And the truth is PCM is a place where you have to be nice to Nazis but where you are actually encouraged to attack marginalized groups. And you're certainly not welcome if you think that inciting harassment, violence and discrimination against non-white people, LBGTQ+ and women is bad. Even then their claim that they value other peoples opinions is an absolute lie, because when AgainstHateSubreddits expresses benign opinions like how we don't think that marginalized and vulnerable groups should face constant harassment on Reddit, their users begin frothing at the mouth with outrage. This outrage is deliberately stoaked by PCM's mods who have with a single minded determination created a toxic culture of hatred and harassment in their sub. In fact PCM users have become notorious for obsessively abusing and harassing anyone who might dare to slightly disagree with them. Brigaders from PCM often take particular pleasure dehumanizing black and trans people, e.g sending us messages like "you'll never be real women".
2. All it takes is a quick peak behind the facade to see that image that PCM attempts to present of a wholesome and welcoming sub is all smoke and mirrors. Pretending be frenly is just part of their strategy for normalizing hatred, discrimination and harassment. Take for example their 3rd highest voted post of all time: "Never Ask An Authright why their account is 2 weeks old". 60K upvotes for a post that is a tribute to their users who go around Reddit seeking out vulnerable users for targeted harassment, these are serial harassers who end up inevitably getting their an endless stream of accounts suspended.
Not only does PCM celebrate users who go around harassing and abusing others, the fact that they give them a megaphone to spew their hateful rhetoric is in fact a source of pride to them. [HERE] another post with 6k upvotes celebrating a PCM user who goes around spamming the N word to harass other communities.
3. PCM also believes in any and all ludicrous conspiracy theories created by other toxic hate groups that certain "left wing" subs-without-nazis get away with murder brigading, and they constantly demand that Reddit take action against against these heinous breaches of the Terms of Service. On it's own this is immensely hypocritical of these FREEZE PEACH Warriors who often also argue that Reddit doesn't have the right to create and enforce their own TOS. So PCM's constant harassment brigades aren't just an example of their gross hypocrisy and extreme dishonesty, but it is also an example of how hate groups project. Hate groups will literally accuse others of the very things that they are guilty of!
If you ever want to understand how dishonest the people are who make these conspiracy theories about us are, consider this comment by moderator of another one of Reddit's premier brigade, harassment and hate subreddits WatchRedditDie:
This is some real selfawarewolves material. Because WRD falsely accuses AHS of brigading all the time to smear us, but in the face of overwhelming evidence claims that we're lying about PCM brigading us?! Users of WRD are as hateful as they are delusional. This mod demonstrates that it is a fact that like PCM WRD is full of Reddit's most manipulative, dishonest, toxic and abusive redditors.
Being a member of a marginalized community makes an individual particularly vulnerable to hate and harassment online. People who spoke out against sexist, racist and anti-Semitic injustice also attracted vicious attacks, typically in response to their condemnation of hate and bias...
I think that it's fair to say at AHS we get far more users that come to this sub to troll, harass and/or abuse us then we get users looking to participate in good faith. We are a favorite target of Reddit's most toxic hate groups, and in fact a community's obsession with us is an incredibly accurate gauge as to how hateful a community actually is. Here is 40 recent examples of the trolling and abuse that we received from PCM users in the space of two days. This is only a small selection and it is only from two days. This harassment has been going of for almost six months now.
PCM: PoliticalCompassMemes is pretty much just a cesspool of transphobic, racist, and bigoted jokes that pretends to be in favor of all ideas. "Pretty fun if you ask me"
PCM hysterically rants and raves about how they are the 'victim' of 'brigading', but the truth is that in fact it is PCM who engages in some of the most egregious examples of vote manipulation on Reddit. Not only does PCM engage in vote manipulate to attempt to bury even the mildest criticism of their sub/cult, but their users also raid in such vast numbers that they often out number the users on this sub in excess of 30:1. It has become an absolute rarity for users on AHS to have a conversation without dozens of screaming idiots attempting to dog pile them. So much valuing other people's opinions!
[SCORE] [RATIO] [NO. REMOVED / TOTAL COMMENTS]
[SCORE] This many vary over time and these numbers are generally fudged by the website anyway.
[RATIO] Upvotes/Downvotes again these values may vary and they are also fudged by the website and I believe are even less accurate when a post goes below 0.
[REMOVED / TOTAL] comments statistics taken from Removeddit. Removed comments have in most cases been caught in our anti-brigade/anti-spam filter. In some instances some of the only unremoved comments are from snapshillbot and/or automoderator.
There are 3 visible comments, 1 was made by automod which leaves two made by AHS users. So out of a total 72 comments 69 were made by PCM users. That is 95% of participation in that thread was by PCM users and means there was almost 35 times more PCM users attempting to manipulate the thread than AHS users attempting to have a discussion.
Completely Buried Here are 50 examples where a post on AHS was completely buried and overwhelmed by many times more PCM user than AHS users. Most of these posts never got a score above zero, so they never received any exposure on anywhere other than againsthatesubreddits/new.
Completely Overwhelmed Here are 20 examples of the rare occasions when a posts manages to not get completely buried, but when PCM users still manage to appear in greater numbers than AHS users.
PCM isn't just content to sit back and ensure even that even their mildest critic is silenced, via downvote brigades, harassment and abuse but PCM celebrates how they will even manipulate content on AHS via upvote brigades. Example 1 A. During a DarkHumorAndMemes (RIP) raid on AHS this [USER] // [USER ARCHIVE] made [THIS] thread on AHS that was brigaded by DH&M to quickly reach to approximately 40 or so upvotes in approximately an hour or so before it was removed. B. Of course a few hours later PCM made [THIS] post celebrating DH&M's harassment brigades, and almost instantly users from PCM then brigaded that thread too. C. The result: In less than a day PCM and DH&M upvote brigaded [THIS] // [SCREENSHOT]removed post to a score of over 400. D. PCM then spammed trolling and abusive posts and comments on AHS. E. PCM then ensured [THIS POST] calling out their raiding was instantly buried.
Example 2 A.[THIS] PCM user made [THIS] troll post on AHS. B. Then [THIS]abusive PCM user made [THIS] post on PCM. C. Like clockwork the PCM brigaders followed, and the post on AHS received approximately 50 brigaders from PCM before it was locked and removed.
Edit:
The geniuses of PCM have again attempted to show that they don't brigade, by brigading! Once again we have more users from PCM here than from AHS!
PCM literally brags at how many of their users participate in their harassment campaigns.
Playing cards make the ideal gift, particularly the many beautiful custom decks available nowadays. Almost everyone can use a deck of cards at some point, so they have an instant and universal appeal, especially if a deck has some customized artwork and is packaged in an appealing tuck box. In this list I want to focus on some of my favourite decks that have come out in the past year 2020. This year has been a challenging year for many of us in light of the coronavirus that has swept across the world. But in the middle of all this darkness, there have also been some bright spots, which include the brand new crop of custom decks that have appeared in the marketplace. The suggestions I'm making are very much a matter of personal choice, and other playing card enthusiasts might make other choices. I haven't seen each and every deck that hit the market in the past year, and there are undoubtedly plenty of other worthy decks that qualify for a list like this. I've also not included any decks that have haven't yet been produced, even if they have been crowdfunded. This list strictly covers decks that you should be able to obtain from online retailers and resellers. I've also not included so-called "hype decks" that sell out almost immediately at the publisher level (e.g. Fontaines), but only those that enter retail channels and are more widely and readily available. I've also included links to where you find them at PlayingCardDecks so that you can see images of the tuck boxes and cards for each item, and because they're the retailer I personally buy playing cards from the most. But you should be able to find these decks at most online retailers.
Popular Series
Several series of playing cards have become brands of their own, and achieved nearly cult status from collectors. This past year has seen some great additions to the line-ups from popular series that include big names like Jerry's Nuggets, Cherry Casino, and NOC. ● Jerry's Nugget Aqua Playing Cards - Jerry's Nuggets are a modern icon in the world of playing cards, due to the cult status of this deck, which was praised by cardists around the world. It was originally printed in the early 1970s, and was so much in demand in recent decades that copies fetched over $500 in the secondary market. A very successful reprinting of the original blue and red decks happened in 2019, and in the past year we've seen multiple reprints in different colours. Among my favourites in this series are the bright colours like orange, yellow, and green, which have all appeared in the past year. But there's also something for those who prefer a more muted look, such as steel and black. For more in this series, seeJerry's Nugget decks. ● Cherry Casino Tropicana Teal Playing Cards - The Cherry Casino decks capture a retro vibe, and are a throwback to the old fruit machines from gambling halls, with their distinctive cherry artwork. For me the real appeal of this series lies in the gorgeous card backs, which have a metallic sheen making them feel instantly different from all other decks. The face cards are all quite standard, so that makes them ideal for card games or card magic. Multiple new colours continue to appear in this series, such as Flamingo Quartz Pink, and most recently McCarran Silver. For more in this series, seeCherry Casino decks. ● NOC 3000X2 Purple Playing Cards - The acronym NOC originally stood for Nothing Only Colour, and in line with this the initial decks in this series were all very minimalist. Many people like to collect and use the NOC decks, and over time the series has evolved somewhat. The most recent releases show some new splashes of creativity, and with the NOC 3000X2 deck we travel into the future, past the year 3000. Vibrant purples and pinks inhabit the landscape of the cards, for a very modern and flashy look that is particularly well suited to cardistry. This particular deck is also available in a matching pink version. For more in this series, seeNOC decks.
Popular Brands
There are several big brands that you can count on for quality, and this year was no exception, with big companies like Theory11, Ellusionist, and Art of Play all continuing to contribute wonderful playing cards to the market. ● James Bond 007 Playing Cards - When it comes to glamorous tuck boxes, it doesn't get much better than the luxury of playing card producer Theory11. This wonderful deck is a tribute to agent 007, James Bond. I collect most of the Theory11 decks, and this one is particularly terrific, with a supreme tuck box, and Bond-inspired paraphernalia on the court cards and on the card back. Close observers will find many Bond gadgets and more. Theory11 have put out several stylish releases in the past year, another one being the Hollywood Roosevelt deck. For more, seeTheory11 decks. ● Shadow Masters Legacy v2 Playing Cards - One of the companies at the forefront of the custom playing cards movement was Ellusionist and their Black Tiger deck continues to be a modern icon. While they've since been overshadowed by the many custom decks produced in the crowd-funding era over the past decade, they continue to produce some memorable decks from time to time that are worth picking up. The Shadow Masters Legacy v2 is a black deck in the classic Ellusionist style, and represents the kind of thing that made them great to begin with. A jet black background is the chief feature of this deck, and the red and white used for the artwork and pips stands out beautifully against the inky black. This deck compares favourably with any other deck from the modern era. For more, seeEllusionist decks. ● Yellow Wheel Playing Cards - The brand Art of Play is the home of influential cardists Dan and Dave Buck. Their Red & Blue Wheel decks are among my all-time favourite decks, with gorgeous metallic inks as part of a split-pip design. The Yellow Wheel deck is their latest entry in the Wheel series, that retains the original card backs but now in yellow. But the highlight is the card faces, with the split pips employing a stunning metallic silver that complements the cards beautifully. This is a completely custom deck that is certain to impress anyone who sees it. Art of Play produces many new decks each year, and their Henry & Sally deck is a fun novelty release also worth checking out. For more, seeArt of Play decks.
Popular Designers
They are a very select group, but there are some notable designers in the playing card industry who have developed a real name for themselves, have generated a large following of loyal fans, and continue to produce high quality custom decks on a regular basis. ● Italia Radiosa Playing Cards - Italian designer Giovanni Meroni is the man behind Thirdway Industries, and his playing cards are in high demand from collectors around the world. His signature style is immediately recognizable in each of his decks, and this one is no exception. Along with its companion Italia Segreta, it's themed around the wonders and secrets of Italy. The unique court cards are the real highlight, showcasing Giovanni's usual creativity and style. The number cards are also fully custom. These are the kinds of decks that will hold their value well in years to come. If you want even more vibrant colours, check out Modern Idols, from the same creator. For more, seeGiovanni Meroni decks. ● Postage Paid Playing Cards - Behind the brand Kings Wild Project is Jackson Robinson, who is one of the few professional designers that actually makes a living out of designing playing cards. This deck was inspired by the idea of playing cards functioning as postcards, each with its own stamp and post paid stamp. All 50 US states are represented on different cards, and everything about this deck is fully customized. This deck was produced in only limited numbers, so it will be out of stock in most places. But if you're quick, you can still grab Jackson Robinson's General Admission deck, which applies a similar concept to tickets, with each card representing a vintage ticket stub from the early 20th century. For more, seeJackson Robinson decks. ● Kodiak Playing Cards - From popular designer Jody Eklund and his Black Ink Playing Cards Company, comes this delightful deck of playing cards that is geared to the poker player and collector. The cards have a very classic look, but offer a fresh take on the designs of the court cards and pips. Jody is highly respected for his approach to graphic design, and these cards will prove an excellent choice if you like playing card games, and want to bring something stylish and attractive to the table. For more, seeJody Eklund decks.
Magician Decks
Most magicians can perform their magic with any deck, but typically they prefer to do card magic with a deck where novelty and customization are minimal, so as not to distract from their magic. These decks are well suited to performing magic, and contain bonus gaff cards or other secrets that enable them to produce miracles not possible with ordinary decks. ● Card College Playing Cards - These decks are a tribute to the most outstanding modern teacher of the fundamentals of card magic, Roberto Giobbi. Mr Giobbi is the author of Card College, a series of best-selling books which are the modern gold standard for learning card magic. Available in red and blue, these decks are simple and practical for the working magician, and as a bonus each contains two double backer gaff cards. If you want more luxury, check out the stunning Luxury 3 Deck Set, which has even more stylish cards, individually numbered tuck boxes with unique origami style features, packaged in an attractive acrylic box - the ideal collectible or gift for magicians. ● Remedies Royal Blue Playing Cards - The Remedies decks come from popular creators Daniel Madison and Daniel Schneider, and this is a successor to the Remedies Scarlet Red deck. Many collectors love the Black Roses brand of playing cards, and collect whatever they produce. This blue Remedies deck has a classic and minimalist look with bold blue card backs, and is very functional and practical. The inclusion of a special Angle Zero gaff makes it ideal for magicians. ● DMC Elites Red v5 Playing Cards - Of all the marked decks I own, the DMC Elites is easily my first choice whenever I want a marked deck with cards that can be easily read from a distance, due to the clever and yet almost invisible marking system it uses. This deck has previously been released in several different colours, and now incorporates Tamariz's Mnemonica stack. All you need is the deck, but there is a terrific Passport book available separately, which will give you some great ideas for routines you can pull off with this great marked deck. For more, seeMarked decks.
Cardistry Decks
Card flourishing has really boomed in recent years, and especially shines when cardists use a deck that has colourful and striking patterns optimized for cardistry, that enhance the visual aesthetics of cards in motion, as these decks show. ● Neon Orange Cardistry Playing Cards - This deck represents Bicycle's attempt to meet a demand for a relatively low-cost deck geared towards card flourishing. The card backs have a geometric design, and the faces are all identical and completely non-standard, showcasing the latest evolution in playing cards optimized entirely for cardistry. Bright colours ensure that the cards look visually appealing in fans, spreads, and flourishing moves. Alongside this vibrant orange deck is its blue companion, the Neon Blue Aurora deck. ● Autumn Circle Cardistry Playing Cards - Tally Ho is a classic brand that USPCC has been producing for a long time. The circle back design of the typical Tally Ho deck has become iconic, and is especially appreciated by those who enjoy card flourishing. Each year the folks at Bicycle produce some in-house decks for special occasions, and the Autumn Circle Back deck is a lovely result. The colours capture the warmth and glow of autumn leaves and the mood of harvest time, while the pattern on the card backs is perfect for cardistry. ● ArrowDynamix Cardistry Playing Cards - Given the high volume of cardistry decks appearing all the time, it can be difficult to come up with something completely original, but this minimalist deck has accomplished exactly that. Each card features a giant vertical arrow on the card backs, and a giant horizontal arrow on the faces. With carefully choreographed sequences and moves, you can create truly unique patterns and effects that you simply can't achieve with any other cardistry deck.
Animal-themed Decks
Do you love animals, or do you have an animal lover in your life? There are a lot of wonderful custom decks that are tributes to our four legged friends, or depict some of our favourite creatures. ● Woof and Whiskers Dog Playing Cards - The real appeal of this deck is the cute tuck box, which has cardboard ears that fold up, to complete the look of the friendly dog on the front of the box. I would have liked to see some more customization with the number cards, but it's still a very charming deck, with delightful custom artwork on the court cards and aces. This is one of two Zoo 52 decks, so if you like the Dog deck, you'll also want to pick up the Playful Paws Cat deck, which is equally cute. ● Aviary Playing Cards - There are a lot of independent creators that produce Bicycle branded playing cards with the help of industry giant USPCC, but this big name producer also releases its own in-house decks. This is my favourite of their four newest releases that hit the market at the end of 2020, and is a very classy looking deck with artwork inspired by a traditional look, but with adjustments to give it a custom feel, and the presence of several birds carefully positioned throughout the deck. Of the four new releases from Bicycle, the Sea King deck is also proving to be very popular. ● King of Tigers Playing Cards - If you're looking for a deck with bling, this is it. The card backs have a borderless tiger skin pattern, which has been printed with some of the latest technology that makes use of foil for a truly eye-catching look. The tuck box is even more glamorous. While the court cards are clearly inspired by traditional courts, the Jokers bring back the tiger theme strongly, and the tiger skin look recurs throughout the deck.
Food-themed Decks
Recent years have seen some wonderful novelty decks themed around different kinds of food. These are always a great way to whet your appetite for a card game, or to show off to family or friends, and have proved a real hit with collectors. ● Squeezers V3 Playing Cards - Good luck getting your hands on decks from this extremely popular series from Organic Playing Cards, because they sell out quickly. These fruit inspired decks have delightful tuck boxes, and this grapefruit themed deck even comes in a tuck box that looks like a juice box, and is actually scented like grapefruit. The cards themselves are quite practical, but add humorous grapefruit themed elements to the court cards, and new bold colours. OPC's 2020 releases also included the watermelon-themed Carvers deck, while their current release sees the brand go in a slightly new direction with the corn-themed Shuckers. ● Noodlers Chicken Playing Cards - If you like the concept behind the Organic Playing Cards series, you'll probably also enjoy this deck, which has a similarly styled tuck box to the Squeezers decks, but represents a packet of ramen noodles. The orange colour on the card backs and pips has also been inspired by the noodles theme. The artwork on the court cards has a quaint and cute style, with each character depicted in a light hearted style quite different from standard courts, and all holding a bowl of noodles. For a final laugh, the Jokers provide us with the necessary packet of "chicken seasoning" to add to our noodles. ● Citrus Playing Cards - Created by Flaminko, the Deliciousness series has been somewhat overshadowed by the more successful fruit inspired cards from Organic Playing Cards. But I love the Flaminko decks, because they apply customization to all elements of the cards, including the pips. This novelty deck is well suited for card flourishing, card games, and collectors, and cleverly captures all that is juicy and wonderful about citrus fruit.
Music-themed Decks
Music is another evergreen theme, and there's a solid range of lovely decks for the music lover, whether your taste is classical or more contemporary rock-and-roll. ● Composers Mozart Playing Cards - This deck is part of a series that also includes other composers like Bach. These decks are true collector pieces, and make a wonderful tribute to some of the greatest composers of all time. The tuck boxes have a very classical look, and metallic ink enhances the gorgeous card backs. Meanwhile completely custom artwork on the faces emphasizes a vintage and classical feel. They are great for music lovers and collectors, but if classical music isn't your thing, then check out the Rock and Roll deck. ● Piano Player Playing Cards - If the piano is your instrument of choice, this is a deck for you. The creative tuck box is available in two styles, one with two black keys and the other with three black keys, which means you can place two decks alongside each other to create a larger keyboard. Fully custom characters inhabit the court cards, with the keyboard motif returning in the details of the artwork. Small touches like this really make this creative deck a thing of unique beauty. ● Soundboards v3 Midnight Playing Cards - Remember the old walk-man cassette players? In the 1980s these revolutionary electronic devices were among the first to make your personal music collection portable. The Soundboards deck replicates the look of a classic walk-man, and the Jokers complete the look by bringing the cassette tape look into the box. This Midnight edition has a dark look, so you might also want to consider the red deck if you prefer a more traditional colour.
Fiction & Film themed Decks
Most of us love a good story, whether it's in the pages of a novel or on our screens. Here are some great custom decks that are loving tributes to some of the best from the worlds of fiction and film. ● Jane Austen Playing Cards - Fans of the classic novel will appreciate the loving treatment that Jane Austen's famous novels have received in this delightful tribute from the Art of Play label. Each suit represents a different novel, with the court cards featuring the lead characters in the story. The design of the characters is inspired by period costumes and reflects the fashions from the time in which the stories are set. The classy tuck case ensures that everything is nicely packaged and well presented. ● Star Wars Playing Cards - Theory11 achieved a real coup by acquiring the rights to bring the Star Wars brand to playing cards. They were the perfect company to ensure that the result was a classy deck that did justice to the world of the films. This pair of Light Side and Dark Side decks begins with a top quality and highly attractive tuck case, as we've come to expect from Theory11. The court cards all feature different characters from the movies, and the design is the perfect blend of customization and playability, making this a practical deck you can bring out for your favourite card game, or to give to the Star Wars fan in your life. A similar pair of decks was produced later in the year in White and Black. ● King Arthur Playing Cards - The result of a collaboration between Riffle Shuffle and Studio Muti, this pair of red and green decks tell the story of the famous Arthurian legend. For me it's a personal and nostalgic childhood favourite, in light of the adventure and imagination it evokes. But as impressive as these decks are, they pale besides the King Arthur Gold deck, which has gold metallic ink on the faces, and gold foil on the card backs, for a truly extravagant look. Inside and out, this is a stunning tribute to a timeless classic from the world of fiction.
Space-themed Decks
So I cheated. I already have a section devoted to cardistry, so I figured I'd sneak in a second category, by including some cardistry decks that all have a space theme. These decks all feature colourful visuals that work well for flourishing, but can also be enjoyed by collectors who appreciate their vibrant colours and exuberant designs. ● Solokid Constellation Playing Cards - This set of twelve decks captures the twelve different star signs. It was produced by Bocopo, a company well known for producing colourful custom decks that appeal especially to cardists and collectors. These decks are typical Bocopo offerings, with evocative colours that are unique to each different deck, to help capture a different feeling for each and every constellation. If you like vibrant colour, you'll certainly find something to enjoy here. ● Stargazer New Moon Playing Cards - Several different decks have now appeared in the Stargazer series, but the recent New Moon deck is probably my favourite. The circular moon that appears on all the card backs makes it an ideal deck for card flourishing moves like spins and twirls. The face cards have some truly vibrant colours, and capture well the feel of a night sky bursting with colour and life. ● Sirius B v3 Playing Cards - I fell in love with the style of the original Sirius B deck, so this third edition was always going to win me over. The court cards consist of a blur of colours that look like paints mixed together, and this style has also been applied to the pips. The colours are the real appeal here, and the signature design of the card backs also looks very nice in card flourishes.
Transformation Decks
I personally adore transformation cards, and consider them to be one of the most fascinating and memorable types of playing cards there is. The idea is that you take the pips and incorporate them into a larger picture that forms a unique work of art, for each and every card in the deck. ● Cotta's Almanac #1 Reproduction Playing Cards - This historic deck was first created in 1805 by J.C. Cotta, and was the very first of its kind. Themed on the "Joan of Arc" play by Schiller, the beauty and creativity of these cards will still win over collectors today. Lovingly produced in a high quality modern edition, this recreation is the first of the entire series of Cotta transformation decks that is being reproduced by PCD. ● 5th Kingdom Playing Cards - This deck is possibly my favourite original release from PCD in the past year. It is an outstanding example of the creativity and originality of a semi-transformation deck, where the pips have been cleverly incorporated into the artwork. Each suit represents a different culture, turning each individual card into a work of art that can be admired and enjoyed. ● Pack of Dogs V2 Playing Cards - This transformation deck is the work of John Littleboy, who has produced a number of such decks in his inimitable style, including Pack of Dogs, Kitten Club, Mermaid Queen, and Bag of Bones. The number cards are my favourites, and in this deck each of these represents a larger art piece with a dog. Each suit has a progressive image, so they don't feel totally unique from each other. It's more like a series of consecutive snapshots, and you can use flip animation to tell the story. Littleboy's Kitten Club V2 deck applies a similar concept to cats.
In-House Decks
PlayingCardDecks doesn't just sell playing cards, but Will Roya also uses his wealth of experience to team up with designers and graphic artists to produce high quality custom decks under the PCD label. Here are some great custom decks that were published in-house over the course of 2020. ● Astronaut Playing Cards - This novelty deck is a delightful creation that will please anyone who has an interest in space and space travel, in light of its unique theme. The Kings are all depicted as astronauts, while the Queens and Jacks represent space travellers. The card backs have a futuristic look with neon lights, and this look carries over to the number cards, which are highly customized with unique red and blue pips. ● Beekeeper Playing Cards - There are plenty of bee themed playing cards already on the market, but the artwork style gives this one a truly unique feel. Two decks were produced, one with light card backs and the other with dark card backs. This is a great novelty deck for the collector, because there's especially some delightful creativity to be found with the bee-inspired pips, and the detailed custom artwork on the court cards. ● Testament Classic Playing Cards - This is a Biblical themed deck created by artist Ben Green. It's intended as an art deck, with the images on the cards depicting Biblical characters from well-known narratives. Representing a dual love for playing cards and a love for Bible-inspired art, this deck will especially appeal to the collector.
Out-of-the-Ordinary Decks
I'm a sucker for highly unusual decks with a high degree of novelty, and even though these are not ones I'd typically use for playing card games, they have very unique features that make them stand out from your average custom deck. ● Starry Night Puzzle Playing Cards - Fancy a deck that doubles as a jigsaw puzzle? This clever deck takes its inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh's famous painting, The Starry Night. The artwork on the card faces is all taken from the painting, and all the cards can be pieced together to make a single giant picture, thus effectively functioning as a large puzzle. Yet each card has clear indices so it's still something you can use for card games too. Definitely unique and out of the ordinary, this set of playing cards is a perfect choice for fans of classic art and paintings. ● Falcon Razors Deluxe Throwing Playing Cards - Rick Smith Jr has made multiple world records in throwing playing cards. His baseball background holds him in good stead, but anybody can learn to throw playing cards if you use the techniques Rick teaches. These throwing cards were a collaboration with legendary flourisher De'vo, and were featured in one of this year's viral videos from Dude Perfect, which featured Rick and his amazing card throwing. The cards are slightly thicker than standard Bicycle stock, to ensure extra durability and performance for card throwing. ● AQUA Invisible Plastic Playing Cards - If you're looking for something completely different, this might hit the mark. This is a ground-breaking deck that is the closest thing to being invisible. All the cards are made out of completely transparent plastic, after which a high gloss transparent printing is applied to selected areas of the cards to produce the designs and pips. So each card is effectively completely transparent, and yet you can see its unique artwork and determine its value and suit. The handling is surprisingly better than you'd expect for a completely plastic deck, and it's certainly something unique.

Argo Casino Review

'Sports Toto and Fact Toto 'are used by the public on the internet site where payment of various national and international sports winners is done based on the publication of results. The size of the gambling market grew exponentially in 2015 when legal gambling such as Sports Toto, Lotto, Horse Racing, and Kanawan Land expanded. Private Toto sites became a huge market and we're able to make huge profits in 10 years of hard work. After rumors of making more money spread, the Toto site quickly took a special place in the world. Then there were many more sports around the world, including handball, soccer, basketball, baseball, and American football. A special advantage of individual Toto is that it is possible to bet from the first match and it is not possible to take steps like Ligimat Sports Toto. The next step is to focus on winning or drawing or increasing or decreasing after playing at least 2 matches on the ligament site. The amount of bets on the Batman site is as high as the dividends. The previous government has taken steps to adopt online bets. But in the past gambling was banned in some sports including horse racing, motor racing, bicycle racing. Under the Gambling Act 2004, conditional business operators will be able to operate a gambling site if they perform four types of conditions, such as online casinos, online bingo, sports betting, and online gambling.

Project Cars 3 turns its back a bit on the sim community but manages to finally give new players access to the game with great gamepad handling and a rewarding and varied career mode. In terms of graphics there isn't much improvements to see to Project Cars 2 and also a lot of bugs and framerate troubles keep the console version a bit back. If you are looking for a game to pass the time till the next Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport you'll still have a lot of fun with Project Cars 3.
It’s an enticing racer that surely will exhilarate and fulfil the empty void that the XBOX exclusive leaves this year with the Series X on the precipice. However, with a positive outlook and an appreciative experience being had with PC3, we’re sure to see Project CARS 4 racing over the hills, and making its way towards pole position.
Project Cars 3 doesn’t revolutionize racing, but delivers enjoyable simcade-action for everyone. Who felt that Project Cars 2 was too tough or overwhelming will find himself a new home here.
Ultimately, I feel the greatest mistake that Project CARS 3 makes is being called what it is. Fans of the previous two games probably won’t find what they expect here, while those who disliked them could possibly be put off by the name. This is essentially a paradigm shift for the series, taking it into new territory with mass-market appeal.
Project Cars 3 is a great way to get into sim racing for newcomers thanks to its overtly gamey career mode, but the move into proper 'simcade' territory feels odd and unfulfilling.
With its bold new direction, superbly overhauled handling and some of the best, wheel-to-wheel racing out there, Project CARS 3 is a gamble that has resulted in one of the year's best racers.
While some might balk at the fact that Project Cars 3 is designed to be accessible, under the hood is the same bone-grindingly difficult racing sim that the series has always been.
Project CARS 3 is not a standard sequel. It takes a lot of content from the two previous games (including the realistic handling of the cars), but it adds some arcade ideas that work and make it look more like GRID.
Project CARS 3 says goodbye to the ambition of being a full sim and drives fast to a safe simcade haven, made of an old-style career mode, car porn and linear progression. It works, it's a fun solid experience and in multiplayer even shines, but somehow the new identity struggles a little bit to find a proper balance.
Project Cars 3 is bustling with things to do. It's as accessible as the series has ever been, and while marred by some inconsistencies in its presentation, is for the most part a joy to play.
Anyone who didn’t like what Project CARS and Project CARS 2 offered, will love Project CARS 3. But also, the inverse is true; if you loved the first two for their pure unadulterated simulation, you’re likely to be turned away with this third entry. I found it a bit of a balanced approached that’s way more focused and in-line with other games in the genre, that remains appealing to me. Project CARS 3 is incredibly deep, retaining a lot of the DNA of what makes it so good. When you’re able to open up cars in straight lines to hear their exhaust notes, you’ll be sporting a Grinch-like smile that extends from ear-to-ear. That’s a priceless reaction you won’t get anywhere else but in Project CARS 3.
Project Cars 3 shifts from simulation to simcade drive style, and redesign from the ground the career mode. At the moment. PS4 version has a lot of serious technical flaws.
In a lot of ways Project CARS 3 is reminiscent of the Forza Horizon series, though executed without any of the flair or fun that made the latter enjoyable. If you’re a racing fan, be it arcade or simulation, I recommend you avoid this game – it’s a thoroughly unenjoyable experience from a once great series.
Project CARS 3 is a good meeting point between arcade and simulation. It's not a perfect product: there are some flaws here and there, such as for example a not too impressive audio department. But overall, it knows how to entertain, thanks especially to an impressive amount of content and to its accessibility.
Project CARS 3 suffers from a case of mistaken identity. Once you adjust to the new direction, you can get into a fun flow of ticking off objectives, drifting around hairpins and purchasing upgrades. However, while the series' existing platform means you get a great variety of circuits, cars and weather conditions, it also shackles this game from being a great arcade racing experience.
