[insert quiet indoor hobby here] I do image editing/graphic design, origami, or work on puzzles while listening to something.

I for one would really like for us to move to an open source algorithm based redistricting as seen in this video:

Any idea if they are playing the games solo (where possible) or with a group? They do all support multiplayer, and it's kind of important to understand why they play the games they play.

I'd probably check the wishlist or literally ask.

I generally use the date function to include commander, special guest, and whatever else might be releasing in/with the set. 492 cards.

Edges of Eternity plus extras

Of which 100 are on my wishlist.

I'm in agreement. Pre-skeezed vibes are definitely there.. But the reasons for them might be something really stupid. Give it a shot, leave it the skeeze persists.

For anyone that took 'this long' to turn on Trump and/or the republican party.. That's nice but what are you doing now to correct whatever echo chamber you were in?

Figuring out if your media is actually telling you the news and not just this side or that talking points to me is more important than whatever your governmental inclination is.

Goodness gracious that's an expensive melon.

I interviewed for one. It's was an "electric company" which offered people a "better rate" on their bills. It was a variable rate that wasn't guaranteed to ever be lower overall.

Well that's a rude word.

It's not like green is known for doubling counters or proliferating or anything that would accelerate this land to absolutely broken.. right?

[–] Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

This ones a thinker. Aside from making landfalls = rocks = food, I can't think of too much color based synergy with this one. Foods generally aren't in boros, if you go Naya you get access to all kinds of things but I really wonder what they thought about while designing this one.

Anim Pakal and his popcorn army.

Infinite sac potential with Nuka-Cola Vending machine. Arcbound Ravager flies again! Also Extruder can just make everything big.

Academy Manufactor is still great.

I'd like to say I'm surprised.. but honestly, nearly all chatbots end up being racist at best.

 

Still smoking regularly in my dreams. I quit 4 years ago and haven't turned back.. But it still seems an indelible trait my mind hasn't let go of yet.

It's not the main focus of the dream, just a noticeable part of my 'normal' self while dreaming.

 

I still use my first ever made email address, at this point it's pushing 28 years old. However I have a major problem. I can rarely log into it anymore. There are so many attempts to login to the account daily from whoever out there that wants to gain access that the login is normally locked out for a period of time. At this point I've moved everything of financial value off of it as someone did get access once, but there are still plenty of random little things I'd like to hang on to it for.

I know I can just make a new one and ditch that one as a quick solution, but I figured i'd ask a wider community if they had any insights I might not have. It's a Microsoft account, and my windows is tied to it, but I'm pretty sure I can just migrate that to something new.

 

I finally wormed my way to the second type of ascendency trial last night, and after a good rest I'm ready to properly vent about both of them.

The first trial is a rogue like dungeon crawl in which getting hit too many times regardless of life totals ends your run. Across the various times I've run it, the stages themselves are not bad. You get to choose your path and hope everything works out with the positives and negatives of the new rooms you come across. The various challenges are also interesting.

However, the final boss is absolutely abysmal to fight against. In a mode where the term honor is used, this thing has several area of effect attacks that aren't visually telegraphed at all. Even it's normal slam attack has a decently sized area of effect.

Whats worse are the various and random effects it also has that spew projectiles all over the place. If you're not fast enough in killing the thing, the battlefield basically becomes a bullet hell. My first clear I spent more time looking at my character to see where safety was than the boss. It feels not great for the first encounter of this system to include what amounts to rng damage pings from out of no where.

The second trial (and currently only other) trial you're introduced to is based on the ultimatum league from path 1. You choose a modifier, go into a space, and do the challenge. Finish that and you go to the next, stack a new modifier, and do the next challenge. It's fairly straight forward and some of the modifiers are terrifying but manageable... Until you get to the boss.

The boss doesn't so much fight you as it does flop around the area farting annoying elemental effects everywhere. I'm glad I'm playing a ranged character so I can just not be near the damned thing.. But this is where those modifiers come in big. If you chose any of the mods that cause the ground to get more area of effect effects on it, good luck. The boss bounces around so much you will have to chase it down while also keeping an eye on any poison, ice, fire, or electricity on the ground.. And whatever other effects might be problematic. I probably died a good 4 times on the boss alone, and twice to the challenges before due to not minding my modifiers. (do NOT dodge roll through death bubbles.. They body block you.)

I don't really feel cheated by either of them even after all of this is said and done.. But I do feel that they are incredibly poorly chosen for their respective trials and would really benefit from being moved to either later bosses, or elsewhere in the game.

 

Figured I'd ask how everyone is carrying on in a new game.

Personally nearly all my deaths are boss related, a majority being purely based on a one shot kill, or a mechanic I failed to manage/know how to stop.

Outside of bosses, it's just been getting body blocked by the hordes a few times.

Out of all of it, I only felt two of my deaths felt unfair/completely unexpected.

I've died about a dozen times so far and just made it to act 3.

 

It's been a long time coming, but at least with it's final act it'll help bring new life.

In accordance with the rules of news, I have updated the headline to reflect the headline on the website.

 

I feel like the article is extremely subjective, so I figured it'd be more fun to post your own top 10 good/bads.

I'll start with mine.

  • Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle
  • Dark Gathering
  • Ya Boy Kongming!
  • Great Pretender
  • Summertime Rendering
  • Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost
  • Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater
  • Uncle from Another World
  • Digimon Adventures (2020)
  • Muteking the Dancing Hero

I tried thinking of anime that I'd suggest to friends who are already fairly active watchers, but for some reason or another had them slip through the cracks.

I mean.. In-N-Out burger at #2.

 

Borderlands 4 has been announced for 2025. For a multitude of reasons, I'm more than happy to sit idly by and wait for a discounted game of the year edition or similar that includes the entirety of their dlc collection because you know there will be paid dlc. It's borderlands.

 

So I went ahead and converted it into a much more janky izzet deck that gifts my playgroup symmetrical damage triggers so that even when I die, the game continues its downward spiral.

I'm still looking for cards to help me cast stuff both from not my hand, and not on my turn to maximize my commanders potential. Any suggestions are welcome.

Of the 11 new printings of planeswalkers, 4 are in the Commander precons, 1 is normally collectible from the set, and the other 6 have the commander set symbol but aren't in the decks.

This means that if you wanted a chance to pull them yourself from packs, you must be opening collectors boosters as they are the only ones with a slot for commander cards.

It feels so scummy of them to not use special guest slot for cards like this. It's not the first time, and it doesn't only affect the planeswalkers. There are some rather pricy rats (marrow gnawer and Ink eyes) also secluded from standard pull tables this way.

Anyone know when this started? I noticed it a year or so back when there was a green commander set card, but no green commander deck, but I cannot recall the card or set.

 

I've been working in construction for the past 11 years at this point with a few years before that in a part time role. I'm more than happy to lend whatever knowledge or insights I may have about work, life, or whatever.

I will be checking in sporadically to see if there are questions.

EDITED WELL AFTER QUESTIONS STOPPED: I'm still active-ish on Lemmy, so if you happen to find this and have a question, I will likely still get back to you.
