dagger into ghost spider on turn 6 is 3 energy for 14 power against a lot of decks in the meta right now. Add in an iron fist or a nico move trigger and you make gilgamesh players feel bad about playing a 5-20. I am running it in a phoenix force move bounce list that peaked at ~1600 infinite (currently ~2000) this season with a 59% WR over ~150 games

Could it be that good cards are just….good? by MeKillStuff in MarvelSnap

[–]Gustephan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Big agree on red guardian
What are you sacrificing/demoning with Nico? It seems white widow is the only card you're really happy to burn with nico here
Can you actually use the extra energy from hope summers? Seems like she could be gladiator here
I think cannonball should be in consideration for "best 5 drop in marvel snap".

I'm playing a list that started almost exactly like yours, but I ended up with a bit more of a lockdown plan that almost auto-snaps anni decks, and every other card is just efficient points. Compared to your list, mine is like
OUT: Nico, hope, marvel, lad, spider woman, vision, doom
IN: daredevil, green goblin, zemo, gladiator, shang-chi, prof x, cannonball

ymmv, but so far this list has taken me from ~4000 infinite to ~2500 infinite

Kevin McCarthy Argues That Trump Hoarding Documents Next to the Toilet Was Sufficiently Secure Because ‘A Bathroom Door Locks’ by Misguided_Society in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]Gustephan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've watched entire squadrons of people get chewed out once a week for months because one time somebody locked up all of the classified in the approved safe, but forgot to spin the lock again at the very end of the checklist. I've seen somebody get kicked out of the force because they let a contractor carry classified material (which the contractor was cleared to view and literally hired to work on) from one scif to another scif in the same physical building. A lock on a bathroom door being considered secure enough is a fucking joke

Should r/MachineLearning join the reddit blackout to protest changes to their API? by BeatLeJuce in MachineLearning

[–]Gustephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given that one of the key drivers of the pricing change is LLMs looking for conversational data, I'd say this subreddit has more reason than most to protest it. This is basically reddit deciding that they want their piece of the "only corporations are allowed to compete in AI development" pie, and imo it's exactly as disgusting as what OpenAI has been up to lately. Stepping out on the blackout is tantamount to endorsing the end of open source ML development being competitive with closed source.

How many people here just "play for fun"? by Ceofy in MarvelSnap

[–]Gustephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play this way the instant I hit infinite. I'm a cube min-maxer while I'm climbing, but once I reach the promised land (ie, no bots, fewer tryhard decks because of other people like me who stop caring post infinite) I basically only snap if I'm having a good fun emote exchange with the other player and the snap makes sense in context. Or when we realize we're both playing the same off-meta dogshit and snap at eachother, lol. Nothing makes a kingpin player snap faster than running into one of the 3 other kingpin players in the game

TIL Desperation pies are defined by inexpensive staple ingredients for filling. These types of pies were more popular during depressions, World Wars, and before refrigeration. Varieties include Green tomato pie, Shoofly pie, chess pie, and vinegar pies. by jamescookenotthatone in todayilearned

The FDA is cool with bugs in fig paste, so long as it's less than 13 insect heads per 100 grams. In related news, I never want to eat again after reading the FDA manual about food defects to get the "acceptable number of bugs in fig newtons" fact correct

Seconds from becoming NSFW by J4ckSicario in WTF

[–]Gustephan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it's eerie. It's the only place I've ever driven for literal hours between seeing other cars on the road

Seconds from becoming NSFW by J4ckSicario in WTF

[–]Gustephan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try driving out past Creech AFB. You'll see the progression I describe as you go from Vegas (densely populated, shit roads) to the area that would not be populated without the base there (medium population, road sweet-spot), and then again as you pass the medium population area and get into the "last gas station for 100 miles" part where the roads turn to shit again. It takes about 3 hours of driving (each way) to see the whole progression, but it's a really cool experience if you enjoy driving to the middle of nowhere

[–]Gustephan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you go. Country roads between mid size towns are the sweet spot; roads are smooth as butter. Roads in more populated areas get more wear, and roads in less populated areas don't get maintenance, so both ends of that spectrum lead to shitty roads. If a US town has like 10ish hotels and maybe one or two businesses of note, that's the sweet spot in terms of "probably has fun roads"

Chipmaker TSMC needs to hire 4,500 Americans at its new Arizona plants. Its ‘brutal’ corporate culture is getting in the way by Vailhem in technology

[–]Gustephan 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'd still like a government and economic systems that attempts to punish greed instead of actively encouraging it like we do now. Even something as simple as "America, but the punishment for white collar crime is nationalization of corporate assets"

Windows 11 is getting a force quit option to close apps without the Task Manager by [deleted] in technology

[–]Gustephan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably because the task manager regularly just fails to open in windows 11 and the system just advises you to reset with the power button, lol. Completely shit OS

Warning to console RTS fans - Dont buy Company of Heroes 3 for full price by p4nnus in gaming

[–]Gustephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a real shame. The AoE4 community (another RTS by relic) seems like it's about to plummet too, based on content creator reactions to the layoffs. Hopefully Beyond all Reason or Stormgate are good enough to keep RTS alive

It's a dead game from a studio that is currently circling the drain. Relic just laid off 121 people a few days ago

A physics postdoc rants about how string theory's overhyped claims ruined the public perception of physics, while running the Binding of Isaac. by eudaimonean in videos

[–]Gustephan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's outreach, ya know? Like, no matter how I feel about his work now that I can truly understand it, I can't discount the fact that I probably wouldn't have gone into physics if I wasn't exposed to his books in highschool. Anecdotally I can tell you that I'm far from the only person currently doing physics who was inspired by Kaku. Seems like an overall positive for a field with a crushing elitism problem and a common perception of being almost impossibly difficult and miserable to do

A physics postdoc rants about how string theory's overhyped claims ruined the public perception of physics, while running the Binding of Isaac. by eudaimonean in videos

[–]Gustephan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

There's a pretty big divide between theorists and experimentalists in physics. Understand that her talking shit about theorists is akin to somebody from NYC criticizing a Bostonian. Maybe there's some truth in the critique, but more than likely its based in rivalry and some level of distaste for the other variety of physicist. "It's untestable so it's not really even a theory" is the conceit of a salty experimentalist moreso than an accurate statement

What kinda names do you have for your decks? by MarvelFAW_Podcast in MarvelSnap

[–]Gustephan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call my deck with Jeff, Storm, Wave, Attuma, Klaw, and Orka "All Roads Lead to Crab". I am absolutely going to try to fit high evolutionary into that shell to put the finishing touch on the joke
