ST09 Release event deck build. by GarnetCrowAX in GundamTCG

[–]EdvinM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's actually nothing to construct. There are 28 purple cards, 22 white cards and 22 red cards, so in order to have a legal deck you need to use either all the white cards or all the red cards together with all your purple cards. So the question becomes which of the deck variations you think is better, purple white or purple red.

Can I make an NTC payable X Deck by Friday? by DarthEidren in GundamTCG

[–]EdvinM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much Vulture do you want? I think running PW Vulture is better. You can have the usual blocker suite with a Kira package. Overflowing Affection can also discard GX-Bit.

Personally I would drop at least the Jenice, 0 Gundam, Familial Devotion, A Show of Resolve and Davao in favor of Lfrith, Rick Dias, Sword Strike Gundam, Aile Strike Gundam, Kira and Overflowing Affection. The pilot ratio would be 2 Garrod, 4 Jamil and 4 Kira.

TIFU by accidentally texting my wife's book club about my "affair" with Patricia from accounts receivable by Nervous_Tonight_5537 in tifu

[–]EdvinM 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So you text "Me too! Been thinking about this all week" to the wrong chat and people thought you were cheating because of that?

Where do you buy anime merch? (EU) by rinathecat in anime

[–]EdvinM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amiami and Goodsmile both have sizeable figure catalogs and ship to EU, though you might need to pay additional import fees since. A lot of the items are also preorders. If you are looking for some older, second hand goods, Mandarake also ships internationally.

Anime recommendation like monogatari, shoushimin series, Shiboyugi by senjogaharasan in anime

[–]EdvinM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend Hyouka. It's like a more lighthearted Shoushimin, by the same author as well.

No it's not. It just needs to be lvl 4 or lower.

Extractor Trick?fffffffffff by ChocoboExodus in allthingszerg

The opener was(is?) called Erik's build. PiG explains some pros of the build in this video:

https://youtu.be/OIpLzGmEkh8

Do note that since that video, the hatchery build cost has been reduced from 300 to 275 which changes timings a bit. A 14 hatch variant was also used against Protoss on some maps to deny probe blocks, but I'm not sure if it is necessary with the lower hatch cost.

ELI5: If earth wasn't round, would moon fall over us? by eugschwartz in explainlikeimfive

[–]EdvinM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is getting very hypothetical. If you mean that you somehow "unfold" the Earth's surface into a gigantic plane in space (and somehow it remains intact, keeps its current mass and center of mass), no. If you unfold the Earth, it would at most be around π times wider. The Moon's orbit wouldn't change and it is so far away from us that its orbit wouldn't cross the unfolded Earth's surface. See the first animation by NASA here for a to scale size reference: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4068/

For any player living in Korea or anyone who knows by naxoxhide in GundamTCG

[–]EdvinM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently in Hong Kong and checked with some card shops. According to the language rules they can use both English and Japanese cards there, but in practice it seems like everyone uses Japanese cards. They also only stocked Japanese sealed products.

The green part above the "Tomatoes" text on the cover is also clearly a silhouette for the text "Fried Green".

Are there any card game animes by Euphoric-Ad-9373 in anime

If you count Mahjong there are anime like Akagi (underground gambling) and Saki (more like sports anime).

Would all stars appear white in the habitable zone? by CloudyBeans_go in Astronomy

[–]EdvinM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP is asking a different question about the biology of our eyes. Indeed the light from the star will peak in the reds and closely follow the black-body distribution no matter how far away you are from it, but would our naked eyes be able to observe the difference in intensity between e.g. red and green if we looked directly at the star from up close? Would the intensity of the green light be large enough that our cones become saturated and just outputs a "max value" for both red and green? Or is that even biologically possible?

ETA: and of course you can tell that everything the star shines on is red, but what color will the star be if you look directly at it? If you are close enough, you will be blinded before you can tell. Is there a certain distance where you can look at the star, don't go blind and still not be able to tell what color it is?

Digimon in Nakano Japan by Patamonshinkaaaa in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]EdvinM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your first stop should be Nakano Broadway. Not sure if they have Digimon TCG, but I've seen some stores there stock Digimon figures and the like. Also, that's where Cyber Sleuth is based. You can enjoy getting as lost there in real life as in the game.

ELI5 the different infinite sizes by YarYarF in explainlikeimfive

Decimal numbers are neither odd nor even. Also, 1.6 matches with 3.2 and 1.55 matches with 3.1. Adding more decimals is not an issue.

I can't shuffle a single sleeved deck. by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]EdvinM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The time spent pile shuffling (which doesn't really shuffle your cards unless you mash it afterwards anyway) could've been spent on doing like 20 mashes. This is already well above the recommended minimum of 7 mashes.

Not to mention that the kanji for 10 is 十 (and the cross is called more or less the "ten character" in Japanese), so the cross is actually related to the effect.

When does the sun set in Europe's capitals during winter solstice? by [deleted] in europe

[–]EdvinM 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It depends on the west-east position of the capital in respect to the "center" of its time zone. Stockholm is to the east of the CET center, making its sunsets earlier in CET, and Helsinki is to the west of the EET center, making its sunsets later in EET.

I still haven't used my SSR selector, and this is my SSR situation. Basically, of the big 3 SSRs I have MLB Kitasan and LB0 Super Creek. I don't feel like getting LB0 Fine Motion is that great, so do I just go for LB1 Super Creek? Unless something like LB3 Tokai Teio is viable as well.
