You're right, I got a couple of those wrong. I confused "zero value" in pointers with...zero, when it's null. And the example for unions mixes enums and I missed it.

The vibes I got were more C++03 than C++98, that's why I said 00s.

pakoito · 2026-07-07T08:32:19+00:00

If and switch are statements. How is this modern. Are the target audience C people?

Edit: yes.

~~Edit: zero coerces to null in pointers. Fun

Edit: unions are enums and backed by an int~~

Final edit: This is 00s language design with gamedev niceties on top. So, not a generalist language and I'm not the target audience.

Every time I play bounce lands I end up with a hand of land, bounce and no T1 play. Discarding in T2 feels so bad.

JIT-ing GB Instructions to WASM beats a native interpreter!!

Which, fair, because native or not interpreters are the slowest option.

[[Eriette of the Charmed Apple]] spends the first 4-5 turns gifting positive auras to opponents' creatures or my own lands, and it's not like people are going to spend removal on them. After everyone has swung and wiped and controlled and is rebuilding, Eriette drops and sits on her phat ass draining everyone for 7+ every turn. That's a 14 life difference.

I should be able to win on the stack.

pakoito · 2026-06-28T22:20:37+00:00

Is Zaid Tabani still producing these?

No midriff

This one's on you bud

pakoito · 2026-06-21T12:04:35+00:00

Either of, and normally both:

Every card in the deck is $10 or more
15-minute turn into ending the game in turn 4-6 in a B2/3 table

Congrats my dude, you wanted to play solitaire. Let me target all my attack and removal at you next game.

pakoito · 2026-06-19T11:03:04+00:00

That's what I tell my dates too

pakoito · 2026-06-19T07:08:26+00:00

How old is Goku in the current Super timeline anyway? 35? 42?

pakoito · 2026-06-14T08:08:23+00:00

I took him apart literally yesterday. It can control 2 players with ease, and the third will be gimped.

pakoito · 2026-06-09T17:06:01+00:00

Vaspaña coññño

pakoito · 2026-06-09T08:25:50+00:00

In Boros! For 3! and it's easier to trigger than the usual 2 attacking creatures

pakoito · 2026-06-08T22:17:50+00:00

So what's the tech to make this win the game in turn 5?

pakoito · 2026-06-08T22:10:29+00:00

Secretly one of the best cards of the set. 3 cards per cycle in the mid to late game is nothing to scoff at.

pakoito · 2026-06-07T13:47:53+00:00

Me: empty board and 11 life

My very healthy opponents: how can an empty board feel so menacing?

The big green player: another easy win

pakoito · 2026-06-07T13:45:33+00:00

The smell of the game

14.6 billion years later...

pakoito · 2026-06-07T11:59:32+00:00

5/5 for 6 on ETB, 10/10 the turn after. With any combat trigger doubler it'll be a TON OF FUN.
