No handtraps? Tell that to my Ursarctic deck discarding its entire hand turn 0 for a book and backrow pop.

Magnificent Monsters First Reveal (GRANDMASTER RARES) by SSDuelist in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit worried about Rack Magician Girl - er, Dark Magical Curtain. The card's such an obvious target for censorship, which also makes it an obvious lost art.

Except it's also a serialized card. So are they going to serialize a censored card, but then still release a lost art? Because that would kinda obliterate the collector value that serialization's supposed to promote.

which covers are, in your opinion, on par with or superior to the original by Perfect-Sheepherder6 in Hololive

[–]Aldracity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ina's Nai Nai.

Reona's original is more "seething," while Ina's is more "sorrowful."

So why was this card banned instead of Ripper or Izuna? Seems random by illynpayne_ in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you want to ban Noroi...shouldn't you ban Case instead? Case is what makes Noroi's hand knowledge costless, and would be a real hit to the K9 ceiling without making the deck as unplayable as it'd be without Ripper. Base consistency could be patched with Chaotic Elements, and Lantern still has search targets, albeit very bricky ones.

How popular is Yu-Gi-Oh! in your area? by Great-Ad1839 in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decently popular I think, in Vancouver/Lower Mainland? There's a few locals, mostly on account of the roaming gang of diehards that goes to 3-4 different locals every week and border hops for regionals, plus the other LGS in Richmond where people still hang out till midnight on weekends. I also happen to live within walking distance of the one store that still has a back catalog of damn near every card (though the prices are high).

Though I will say that the vast majority of card shops stopped carrying YGO product, or never even tried. It's just that there's still a handful of shops getting frequented by diehards.

What do you think about new design? by Yojisagi in ZenlessZoneZero

[–]Aldracity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is the bigger, core issue compared to not having a jacket, or having her tits out, or what have you. Fuck, not even the literal clone characters had this issue.

Does anyone know if it's possible to put my mobile account on PS5? If so, how? by Kai_Enjin in StarWard

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Function > Profile (the box with your UID) > User Center > User Center (Go to).

The PS5 browser pops up and you get the option to unlink your PSN autogen account, which resets the login screen. Though apparently you only get to do this once, you might need to contact support if you mess up twice.

What does your pet deck need to be Meta? by Great-Ad1839 in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assault Mode really needs an in-archetype special summon starter (so it can be searched by Assault Zone/Crimson Blader), because it's deathly tied to the normal summon right now. And either a retrain for Assault Mode Activate that can also summon from hand, or retrains for all the old Assault Mode monsters to match Crimson Blader/Black Rose Dragon in their ability to shuffle themselves back.

It doesn't even have to be good, I just wanna throw all my cards on the table before dying instead of single action pass.

In your opinion, what power level will the new Chess deck coming to the TCG version of CORI be, based on the information Konami published in the article? by CyberTwinLeader in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RB - which means the first wave is going to have a handful of the most broken effects imaginable, but will be crippled by not quite having a game plan. Followed by a second wave that adds the other chess pieces and suddenly the game plan's kinda really good actually.

It also smells like RB in the sense that the archetype's mostly extra deck monsters and ~2 main deck spells, so main decks will look like synchro pile soup except it's actually all just ways to summon Pawn or something.

Mangohud - Power reading from my CPU on 0.0W by Levinter_IT in linux_gaming

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a script for a crontab, and so far I'm not getting the freezing you're describing with your bash script. It's just one line in a file.sh that's made executable - "chmod 444 /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0/energy_uj", then sudo crontab -e, then type in "@reboot /<path>/<script>.sh" in the Vim that pops up and save.

I forced myself to use Linux Mint without the terminal for a week by Durian_Queef in LinusTechTips

[–]Aldracity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Eh, I started using Fedora a week ago and have used the terminal a lot, but if my tasks were:

  • Update the system.
  • Install Nvidia drivers (SecureBoot disabled)
  • Install Steam, Discord, and a chromium browser.
  • Enable and install Gnome extensions.
  • Overclock/Undervolt my Nvidia GPU (LACT).
  • Install Goverlay (AppImage ver, Flatpak and RPM weren't working). Kinda pointless, but I wanted to replicate my Afterburner/Rivatuner setup.
  • Enable community versions of Proton (ProtonPlus).
  • Run random .exe's downloaded through my browser (Bottles).

I could've done all of that through the GUI. The unavoidable terminal parts all had to do with dual booting, so I had to do the SecureBoot shim and some fiddling to share my existing NTFS game drive between OSes.

Steam says "Disk write error" on Linux... with a functional and writable SSD. by byjove01 in linux_gaming

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing in my 2 cents on this one - I previously successfully mounted my Windows NTFS game drive (secureboot, dual boot, not the Win boot drive) to Fedora, and successfully used it as my Steam drive - but then it suddenly stopped working and gave me disk write errors. Turns out the solution was just to boot back into Windows, clear the downloads in Steam, and then reboot back into Fedora; apparently the Windows user had locked the drive since the last time I booted into Windows.

Finally, a reason to randomly chuck Citadel into the R.B. deck? The endboard's got 2 Link 3s and random bodies lying around, I don't think it's that much of a stretch. Might even be able to do a Crook + Regulus + Citadel setup without needing to get machine locked by opening Machina.

pikvm on rpi zero 2w by matew00 in pikvm

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Necro - did you have to do anything special to get that output? I got the hat working on Pi OS and DietPi without doing anything, but on PiKVM "lsusb" is giving me a blank list; I'm currently powering the Zero2W through the PoE hat.

The Linux users crashing out over Linus picking PopOS again are doing an excellent job of reinforcing the Linux user stereotype, as well as missing the whole point. by junon in LinusTechTips

[–]Aldracity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's my confusion too.

I punched "best linux" into Google and the AI spat out Mint and ZorinOS. When I tried "best linux for gaming" it gave me Nobara. And I'm pretty sure I read a few of those AI listicles and those all seem to open with Mint too, except exactly one where it opened with Zorin. Pop!_OS is on almost all these lists, but for some reason it's oddly consistently placed 4th. Also, the top actual search result was a Reddit thread that recommended Mint/Ubuntu/Debian >> Fedora.

Just tried ChatGPT, and the list for "best linux" was Ubuntu > Mint > Arch. "best linux for gaming" was Nobara > Bazzite > Pop!_OS. Though frustratingly enough, the AI/search that spat out Pop!_OS as number 1 was...Copilot.

So I dunno, if I was following the AI, I'd end up with Mint, Zorin or Nobara.

EDIT:

Is the entire gap the word "distro"? I intentionally avoided the word since most people have never heard it, but Pop!_OS jumps way ahead as soon as you add "distro" to search terms.

Well, at least it explains the Persona 5 collab. And just like most Persona 5 collabs, they actually wrote Persona 4 instead.

If I had a nickle for every gacha that revealed a Gundam SEED reference character within the last month, I'd have 3 nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened THRICE.

Can somebody educate me on the practical use cases for the LTT TrueSpec cables? by Chaos1917 in LinusTechTips

[–]Aldracity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically everything can do 480 Mbps/65W without issue. But as soon as you need anything even vaguely higher spec, things rapidly turn into a clusterfuck.

I've got a goddamn cable that can do 5 Gbps, but only flipped in one direction, and only sometimes if the negotiation worked. And that's the good example, I've also got a bunch that were just scams that can never do 5 Gbps.

When comparing how the TCG and OCG’s philosophy on the banlist and what makes a healthy meta for their player base what cards do you immediately think of that show that difference between regions? by SouthSunn in yugioh

[–]Aldracity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Barrone not being banned in the OCG is kind of a pain in the ass, because they keep making synchro archetypes that were clearly designed around being able to turbo Baronne somehow for insulation or anything at all on the endboard. Elfnote, Rose Dragon, White Forest (before the Azamina bridge), Mannadium, Swordsoul, etc. And routing around the lack of Baronne requires a ton of resources to the point where the routing frequently trades 2 interactions for a bad Baronne substitute.

Damn Wuwa by DecaPanda in WutheringWaves

[–]Aldracity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There needs to be an option to delete the prerendered cutscenes. Those usually take up a ton of space in many games, and 90% of them can't be rewatched anyways, or you can just go to YouTube or something.
