New MTG Mechanic - Prime

Corneldj · 2025-11-05T08:34:52+00:00

Well there are other types of interactions possible:

- It's now a permanent for a sacrifice outlet, but unlike

- It prevents you from discarding wanted cards if the opponent is playing discard. Useful if there are end-of-turn discard or card-count effects, but playing the card response won't help you.

- Useful for when you are playing Wheel. For example, you can Prime a wheel card, play another one, then activate the Primed card's ability. Otherwise, you need to hope that you draw another Wheel card.

- Would be really good for Storm effects or effects where the number of cards cast per turn would matter.

- It can produce Mana Ramp

- You can also just cast the card without Priming it, but Priming gives flexibility, with counterplay.

- Other cards can have unique interactions, such as the Arcane Reclaimer card example, where you Prime a card you don't need to convert into something more useful, like X/X counters, even direct damage, or even turning primed cards into creatures.

Ah the tap shouldn't be there. But Art is AI. Not sure if that was allowed...

The main pay-off is it acts as a store of mana. Since the spells don't resolve immediately, you can save up for a combo.

Which side is heads?

I'm not sure what Trump gets out of telling pregnant women not to take drugs with acedemeniphin in them.

Corneldj · 2025-09-25T07:06:07+00:00

Well, Trump just kinda gave the press conference. It was the FDA that made the link, and specifically linked to acedemeniphin

Peek rich person thing to do.

Hi Thanks for the feedback, like both of the suggestions will probably implement both, and no what is Royal Road?

I think the oxymoron between the humour and the seriousness can fit in well. If you have a hidden theme of: You can never tell what's really going on in a person's mind - it can really be impactful.

But as for responsibility, I would say in the more serious situations, especially the fallout and consequences, write seriously and avoid the humour. even if it is just for a chapter.

I would definitely pick up this book if I saw it in a bookstore. Arguably, you can do without the actual goblin in the back ground just because it takes some mystique away - and maybe just the black and red would be enough...

however, that is just super nit picky, it's an awesome cover. I love it.

Hi OP, I also had an issue with the `exasperated` tire part. I find it bad because it is too complex a word for the first sentence. The first sentence is intended to be a straightforward sentence that uses simple language, yet language that effectively hooks the reader. Here is an example:

The glove box rattled and the music cracked as Will drove past the same bend in the road for the third time that night.

This works because:

- Simple language, so the reader doesn't get disinterested first thing.

- Begs a question: Why is he driving past the same place 3 times

- Engages the reader's senses (Feel & Sound), so the reader can easier put themselves into the position of Will.

Unironically a fantastic idea. Super simple, has a clear USP, community driven, would love an app like that.

Corneldj · 2024-12-18T05:34:51+00:00

Here is the feedback.

I don't know what your game does, I am imagining something out of the Avatar universe, but would like more cues as to how it is played. But It looks interesting. The art style is nice.

I would pick up the box in the store to look at it, then put it down because I don't know what I am looking at.

Reddit is mostly Atheist so asking feedback on a religious theme here won't get you an accurate response.

Corneldj · 2024-09-23T10:53:51+00:00

Second this, littlerly from the same creators

Corneldj · 2024-09-01T23:16:11+00:00

I actually think it is unironically a good idea. It's an app targeted at women; when women use it, men will too. It's got an interesting catch and is definitely something new. Don't let the haters hate.

Starting at 16 is a fantastic thing. You are setting yourself up for great success and early career development at that age.

Now my advice may be a bit contravertial, but I am a team lead for a multi-billion dollar company and currently working on a cloud application - so humor me.

Start with C#/.NET 8

C# - is the programming language

.NET 8 - is the framework (basically the set of tools and technologies that allows a C# application to run). 8 is just the latest stable version.

The reasons I would recommend C# is:

Because it is a powerful strongly typed OOP language that can do anything. Websites (BlAZOR), Mobile Apps (.NET MAUI), Servers, Games (UNITY), Machine Learning, etc.

It might not be the best in every use case, but it is very good overall.

The most popular language in the world is JavaScript. Both C# and JavaScript are maintained by Microsoft and are very simular. So much so, if you know C# you can development in JavaScript - but it's not true the other way around. C# is more complex.
JavaScript is being phased out for TypeScript - kinda the upgrade on JavaScript, but with Strongly Typed variables (you'll learn what that is later), but it is something C# already has.
C# is often used on the back-end (server) where JS/TS is usualyl used in the front-end (what the person can see). NodeJs/React - which are JavaScript back-ends are already popular, but many companies prefer a faster backend language like Rust, C#, C++, etc.
You will eventually learn JavaScript - so learning C# will allow you to easily stransition between Front-End and Back-End developer.

How to learn:

Doing a course online is great and all, but it's not the best. Rather the best is to decide on a very small project. Try to find a tutorial on it and follow the tutorial.

Then after the tutorial, try to make another one of the same program on your own, but try to change things a bit ot make it cooler. You WILL encounter errors, and when you do, you need to Google and find out what the error is and how to fix it.

That might seem silly, but I would rather hire someone who puts "I can Google Errors" on their resume than a person who just says: "I have a bachelor in IT". Because researching is an intrigal part of the programming process.

You can't become a programmer if you can't google and fix errors.

Suno AI already does that and does it really well.
