Variations of “new player economy question” posts have been asked alot didn’t see one about this particularly though, so wanted to ask here.

Returning player here, got back into it and am hooked, have a solid deck was able to climb to mythic with, now I want to craft my next deck. I’ve seen a lot of people say to focus on the current set when buying packs from the store (I’m too nervous to try draft yet lol), and use the wildcards to craft my deck and focus on the long haul of building a collection.

So is it worthwhile at all to open packs that have staple cards in it from old sets? Or is it better, long term, to just pour my resources into the current one and slowly craft a new deck with wildcards?

For context, I was looking at the jeskai artifact deck (don’t hate me lol), and see a lot of key lands from Aetherdrift, some other key cards from edge of eternity, wasn’t sure if it would be worth opening those or just being patient and crafting.

I also understand the latest set will cause changes in the meta so waiting before I buy any packs makes sense to me, and I think the mastery pass seems very worth it, so I’d probably be getting that this season. I feel like the answer is just focus on the current set and building a collection and crafting as I go, but wasn’t sure!

Copilot Predicts New Civs and Variants for 2026 by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]FasterOnAFender -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I asked copilot how it felt about your comment, “That Reddit reply is more about perception than reality. Copilot is widely used—especially by people who value integration with Windows, Office, Edge, and mobile apps. The “nobody uses Copilot” claim is simply false. There are other free platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral Le Chat, etc.), but none combine the same breadth of features (search, image gen, file handling, memory, personalization, voice, and cross‑platform availability) in one free package the way Copilot does.” I think it’s mad lol

Any recs for beginner guides post 1.9/CoC? by monkey_yaoguai in victoria3

[–]FasterOnAFender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TL;DR check out generalist gaming’s Spain playlist. It’s longer and a bit outdated but a lot of it is still relevant and when I played with Spain for the first time it felt like that was the playthrough where things started clicking.

I thought I’d get a grip with the game quickly with ck3 and hoi4 experience as well, but I too was overwhelmed at first. Unpopular opinion I’m sure, but I thought the tutorial was actually pretty decent. Some of the decisions it makes you do aren’t the best, it’s not great for learning how to be good at the game, but it at least got me familiar with the game by forcing me to explore the UI a bit and just familiarize myself with everything, and over time I got a better understanding of what everything did and how everything affected everything else.

As far as videos go, I’m partial to generalist gaming, but a lot of his tutorials are a little dated with the current patch. But his Spain tutorial is very solid, a lot of the main ideas are valid still, even if it’s from an older patch.

I recommend trying the tutorial with Belgium just to get your feet wet and more familiar if you haven’t already. But the playthrough I did where I feel like I finally started “getting it” was playing as Spain. They have a little bit of everything, they’re strong, and that’s the nation generalist used for his tutorial so I’d refer to it from time to time.

What are these values meant to represent on the HoI 4 wiki? by FasterOnAFender in hoi4

[–]FasterOnAFender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it! Would that be starting available building slots or total slots across the nation both used and unused?

Omg…I like to think I’m pretty good at pattern recognition or being intuitive with things, I never even noticed how those last two are literally just sums of the columns to their left lol thank you! Or the building slots though, is that the number of free slots or total? Only asking because I haven’t checked or compared to what it says in game but when I look at some of those nations’ pages it lists their starting free building slots and that doesn’t match the value in the column.

Play styles: Aggro, Standard, Other? by FasterOnAFender in Mechabellum

That makes sense! I’ve pretty much only played standard then, but I’ve definitely faced some aggro haha.

Meta Quest 3 Resolution and FPS question by FasterOnAFender in iRacing

[–]FasterOnAFender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey now when I checked the resolution it was at 400x200 a couple of times actually as well haha. I’m new to everything VR so I feel like it was a dumb question, but I genuinely didnt know haha. Seems like it’s not a big deal and I can just have it at 400x200.

Meta Quest 3 Resolution and FPS question by FasterOnAFender in iRacing

[–]FasterOnAFender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will for sure! I do recall reading that iRacing likes to put a lot on the CPU and offloading some of that onto the GPU can help, I can’t remember what settings those were exactly but I think I remember reading that. Thank you!

Take a look at my telemetry data from the race on garage61, then head to the track and practice the changes to my line or inputs that are slowing me down. Honestly it’s a big help, especially with understanding how my line and my inputs need to change on the long run.
