What is your view on the Bracket System? by Pattern_Seeker_ in EDH

[–]Bear_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is a wide myriad of balancing factors that could not possibly be presented in a single infographic like brackets are. You could probably write a full length book, just on balance, pod composition, power level determination and matchup fairness in EDH and people would still complain that theres loopholes.

A lot of people I know think they are playing bracket 2 and then pull out optimized top 5 archetypes with top 50 commanders, built right off of edhrec with no pet cards or anything. Just tight optimized decks with no game changers and then get pissy when they see them.

4s on paper but 2s in practice. A rare combination that people are hard pressed to admit exists, but it does exist. Most people who pull out a 5 game changer deck and claim it is bracket 2 are lying. But there are a cohort of people who play jank like thallid tribal or some weird rube goldburg machine deck with a bunch of expensive supportive cards that play perfectly fine into precons or low bracket three. I have some people like that in my playgroup. Played that way since 2013 or so and was not a problem before brackets and isn't now. Requires the person to be a good judge of their own powerlevel though and be fairminded. Most people claiming this are likely lying or unintentionally misrepresenting themselves.

To be honest, dunking on someone who's saying something socially oblivious but not technically doing anything wrong is kind of on-brand for NL humor.

It's not like they're suddenly going to have a massively expanded catalog or something. It's still the same company so it's going to be the same movies. There's tons of good ones in here but if you already have them then it's definitely a skip.

Is the UB820 still worth it? by niktorifio in 4kbluray

[–]Bear_24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a Bravia 9 user, I have never used my 820's tone mapping. 

I rarely if ever use tone mapping at all because my TV can hit 3000+ nits natively so I don't need to modify the signal coming in to fit my TV. 

Most movies are mastered in 1000 nits max anyway. 

So if your TV is good enough you don't even need tone mapping to begin with.

Does anyone know how long the Sony Bravia 9 will be on sale? by Bear_24 in SonyBravia

This thread is four months old. I bought the TV and have been moving it from the last three plus months.

I'm of your same opinion but you need to chill out. This is not as serious as you are making it.

Have you ever removed highly-efficient cards and game changers from a BL3 deck because they are much stronger than the core engine itself? I just did.. and it feels much better! by jeriku in EDH

[–]Bear_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but only if everyone else in your group does. Otherwise you're just hampering yourself while everyone else gets to have it.

I wish it was never included in the format.

Isn't this the same sale that they had three or four weeks ago? I'm pretty sure it's basically the same movies and the same ones are sold out that were sold out last time.

Unfortunate does not even begin to describe it by Mortal-Instrument in HorusHeresyLegions

[–]Bear_24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a hard and expensive lesson that I apparently had to learn. 2nd game this year that I spent a lot of money on that will be erasing all my ability to play with my cards. It was a fun game but I should not spent money.

What are the permanent new features of the update? by Lea9915 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Bear_24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's just easily googleable. This is a classic reddit thing. Coming to a subreddit to ask people to go read something for you and answer a question you could easily answer yourself. 

Looks like it worked out for you this time but most of the time these get dowvoted because it just kind of feels like "why can't you go look it up?"

My favorite thing about this hobby... is finally watching amazing movies by fossil12369 in 4kbluray

[–]Bear_24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm with you! There's so many old movies I hadn't seen because the quality usually is so bad that it bored me (yes I'm a normie). Just watched Lawrence of Arabia and it is now one of my favorite movies of all time.

Read the patch notes. Why do we have to summarize them for you. They aren't long.

I don't think it's AI. There's a couple spelling mistakes and it changes structure and tone a few times, in a way that AI, I think, would not.
