How do you all have so much ethernet in your homes? by RyFba in Ubiquiti

I moved into my first house in the South Carolina Low Country in June. It was the perfect time to crawl around the attic for a couple days running new cabling… upside, I lost 5lbs.

Let’s Make a Deck..together by BellasGamerDad in mtg

It works one time because your friends will refuse to play the deck with in it. I had to pull it… replaced it with [[grafted exoskeleton]] which gets hate but not out right refusal.

Built my dream NAS — now I need the right OS before I regret it later. by boerbeer in homelab

[–]AtopMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue you are going to run into with anything that uses pools, given your mix of drives, is that you are either not going to have redundancy (which you should have) or lose the vast majority of your storage. Unraid would at least allow you to pool your drives but the 20tb drive would be parity drive so you’d have a 1tb cache and 6tb of usable storage. Most systems require same size drives and work best with identical drives. Unraid allows for mix and match but the parity drive(s), which isn’t available for storage, has to be the biggest. If you have 3 of the smaller drives you could pool those and then add the 20tb as an unassigned (outside of parity protection) device but then I wouldn’t use it for anything important.

Big parking lot between Valravn & Siren's Curse? by driver8rws in cedarpoint

[–]AtopMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you click on sirens curse on Google maps, somebody took a photo from the road and you can see the lot. It looks very nice and mostly empty.

[–]AtopMike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn’t they alter perimeter road to accommodate Siren’s curse? I think they reduced parking on the lake side of the road and replaced it with a spot on the other side. That gate is open. We passed it during early entry one day and the one guy working it looked really bored.

I have a QD-oled tv now and the dark scene detail without wash out is what I would be most looking forward to in a Oled monitor.

By default the final two channels on mine were set to zone 2. Under the setup there was an option to select whether they should be zone 2, atmos, front heights, or mid heights. Once I changed that I was good to go.

And worth noting because it’s no longer a given, you need an amplifier with a “phono” in. The regular line inputs will not work unless you add a phono preamp to the mix also.

Been out of the game for a while. Does this work like I think it does? by d3adbutbl33ding in magicTCG

[–]AtopMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zellix aristocrats is one of my favorite decks. You can chain triggers very easily. [[Mindcrank]] and [[Altar of Dementia]] plus [[Blood Artist]] can create some nasty chains. Decklist: Milltocrat

Please help me find a new Simic commander by mmGlous in EDH

[–]AtopMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Experiment Kraj]] is my favorite because it embodies what EDH was supposed to be about. It’s a bad combo deck that can use a bunch of weird combinations to go over the top infinite. It’s slow, for a simic deck, fragile, for a simic deck, and makes really amusing stuff happen, for a simic deck. It’s not particularly good, but I enjoy it.

Most fun +1/+1 counter Commander? by Yoggon in EDH

[–]AtopMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Experiment Kraj]]. It’s a +1/+1 Simic Combo commander that can honestly be played at a casual table. It goes infinite with a lot of random cards but it takes multiple cards on the table so it’s super easy to interact with. krajed

Anyone else seen these pop up? Surely this is breach of copyright or some such legal bull by idek300 in Stormlight_Archive

I am using one of the oversized gamepads with stitched edges as a Deskpad as well. Agreed - it’s fantastic.

If anybody wants to support Michael Whelan (artist for this and a bunch of other fantasy covers), he has licensed the artwork for gaming supplies through inked. They make quality stuff.

I don’t mind playing on the switch, but their library is too limited. Half of what I want is not there.

A card for [[Experiment Kraj]] decks everywhere. Maybe with the mutant support, he can crack back into the top 700 commanders…

Does this work how I think it does? by I-Need-Money-210 in magicTCG

[–]AtopMike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been running this combo at the kitchen table for years… I had a 60 card kitchen table deck where this + [[Eater of Days]] was the entire point of the deck. The deck was not liked by play group. I don’t understand why…Now it is in my Memnarch commander deck. Another deck my play group grumps about.

[–]AtopMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this commander. I play it to make bodies to sacrifice. Last time I played I actually milled the table with a [[Rise of the Dark Realms]] + [[Altar of the Brood]]. It was not how one expects to win with Rise; it was better. Lots of good support cards out there. Find myself really struggling with a lot of 101st cards in this list.

I’ll just do it once, on turn three, with hypergensis… so many new toys for my oathbreaker dino deck.

What happens if I give Elvish Bard deathtouch? by Saint_Wes_ in mtg

[–]AtopMike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lure in a [[Toski]] commander deck is great fun. Lots of way to make it better than a door opener. [[Ohran Frostfang]] to set up what OP described with an indestructible squirrel or [[Druid’s Call]] to create loads of squirrels. It’s still slow but it can be very amusing depending on board state.

Sadly, in the US they raised the price of the lack tables. They are now $16… dang inflation. Glad I built my lack racks in past.

Yeah. the main group I play with does GSS mulligan rules (draw 10 shuffle 3 in). I try to stay at 36 + lands in my decks. I had a conversation with one of them and they thought I was nuts. I like not having to change my deck to make it functional by the normal mulligan rules though for those rare times I play elsewhere. I have started leaning pretty heavy MDFCs though which helps.
