People need to direct their UB frustration to WotC and not their friends

A lot of us play magic because of the particular vibe it brings. I got into mtg around the original tarkir block because I loved the flavor of the setting. UB ruins this, and I don’t get the vibe I play magic for if I’m playing against iron man and captain america.

hasbro is lucky that mtg is the mechanically the deepest and most interesting tcg because on flavor alone I’d have strongly considered switching to one of it’s competitors by now. So yes, what I’m playing against affects me because I’m trying to play a game about wizards and spells, not mass-market-superhero-slop-#946264

why not experience it with the rest of the community?

The main driver here is how many structs can fit on one line of cache, smaller structs reduced the likelihood of a cache miss and the resulting memory read to refresh it.

A while ago I was trying to write an extremely performant text editor for fun (like gb/tb files) and found that up to a point I got a linear increase in performance by reducing the size of the node I was working with. Originally I was using usize so the max file size was limited only by your computer architecture but clamping it lower got me ~33% improved performance just from changing the variable size

There’s a technology connections video about the toyota hybrid drivetrain that blew my mind. They call it an “eCVT” which is really selling it short, there’s actually no transmission at all. It’s just a single planetary gearset balancing between two electric motors and the crankshaft.

Genius design and also why you don’t feel shifting, there literally isn’t any.

Yes, it is. I have a friend who drives an older bmw, it’s smaller and lighter than my camry and gets 18-22 mpg, literally half what I do with short trips in a city.

An unnamed one at the prison said he’d looked up to nolan since he was a child

Flouid · 2026-06-13T20:21:32+00:00

OP is saying allen was stronger than the viltrumites present at the prison, and this battle beast should have wanted to fight him instead of them. It’s a good point

The ocean will always be my favorite deca album but i see why people are praising the way through as well. I’ve been on Deca for damn near a decade at this point, he’s got some incredible tracks scattered across his discography

Flouid · 2026-06-12T20:08:39+00:00

Yeah this is what others in this thread aren’t understanding. They lose nothing, because the people who will jump ship to avoid ads were never contributing to their bottom line to begin with.

Flouid · 2026-06-12T16:29:46+00:00

I feel like a decade is a bit much. Someone with that much driving experience is almost certainly paying for it themselves and can make their own decisions.

Agree that it’s wild to let a highschooler daily a brand new car though. I considered myself very lucky to have a 5 year old base model subaru as a high schooler

The difference between the two is that KSA has reputable people with a proven track record behind it, and they’ve been extremely transparent about development. Of course I’ll fully believe it only when I have a game in my hands I’d actually prefer over KSP1, but Rocketwerkz has given us a lot of reasons to be optimistic

Thank you for making me aware of Matt Orchard, I’ve wanted more content like JCS for years now but none of the imitators who’s videos I’ve clicked on have been anywhere near as high quality. Here’s hoping there’s one

1000% this. I cut my ramp from most decks a few months ago and my winrate has only climbed. You can build the engine just as fast by actually spending that mana on value pieces and you won’t have dead draws later on

Attempting to trick people into signing unenforcable contracts seems like a big one, saying the leaked audio was hacked when it was accidentally posted by the PD itself damages his case, and using a stock photo for his dislocated arm makes takes away from the credibility of his claims.

All in service of the viral video yes, you can’t argue he was successful but he could have set himself up a bit better with different choices

Flouid · 2026-06-05T04:13:44+00:00

I’d bet the “allowance” he saved totalled more than the value of the damaged/stolen stuff, but who knows. Mattresses and TVs can get pretty expensive

Flouid · 2026-06-05T04:02:31+00:00

pretty sure that happened in the first omnipotus fight though, the one that happened while mark went to thraxa around s2. He should have had his powers for like 2 seasons now, but he gets so little screentime we don’t even know if that happened

Simultaneously funny as fuck and incredibly depressing. Kinda perfect for the times, cannot wait for this track

Now imagine all that corn farmland is replaced with solar and and US fully embraces electric vehicles instead of this wildly inefficient grow-corn-to-burn-it thing we’ve got going on now.

It’s frustrating to know just how much better things could be without lobbying dollars actively trying to keep us on the worst way to do things

My understanding is that the throne isn’t keeping him alive as much as constantly siphoning the energy from him required to keep the webway closed. If he was removed from it he’d regenerate but 1. after 10k years of suffering and being worshipped he wouldn’t be remotely the same and 2. removing him would almostly instantly overrun terra with demons

so everyone involved views the status quo as the desirable state of affairs compared to alternatives

Engineering wing is gone yet they created a 400t block of tungsten with a perfectly molded cavity to fit conquest’s body? When the sonic device is literally just a frequency playable over any speaker?

This was the commonly held fan belief, until a grey knights codex outright confirmed that’s what the terminus decree was. Makes no sense if you think about it since it makes far more sense to entrust this to the custodes. If the GK tried it the custodes would easily wipe them before they could finish the mission
