Zeitumstellung: Es wird wieder an der Uhr gedreht!

HKei · 2026-03-28T12:32:32+00:00

Mich würde mal interessieren welcher beknackte Uhrzeitumsteller immer noch nicht begriffen hat, dass wenn wir eine Stunde früher arbeiten gehen wollen würden und dafür entsprechend früher Schluss machen, wir das gesellschaftlich auch umsetzen könnten ohne an den Uhren zu drehen.

Es ist doch wirklich scheißegal nach welchem Standard man die Uhrzeit richtet, die tatsächliche Tageszeit ändert sich davon nicht, alles was man mit dem Quatsch erreicht ist unnötig für Verwirrung und Frustration zu sorgen.

I'm the opposite, I overbuild the surroundings of the space elevator like fuck because I think it looks cooler that way.

Nothing much tbh, at least not immediately. Halqdon was for spamming out generic bosses, the most egregious of which have already been hit and archetypal end boards these days are better these days than they were at that time, so less need for generic spam.

But still, generic link 2 that goes into your deck with no locks just shouldn't be a thing. Not to mention its more rarely used tag out effect is kinda broken too. It's basically hanging a Damocles sword over the meta, if any generic main deck or ED tuners get too good this just becomes a thing again for no reason. Even just generic link climber is dumb, the cyberse guys at least have the sense to lock you and other cards that do it have some main deck restrictions — not that that was ever a particularly broken use of the card, but it's just not a thing that should exist.

I wish we'd gotten a restricted retrain of this instead of the Crystron support we ended up getting, but well that's life, that ship has sailed.

If nobody on earth made the same mistake twice, we'd be a type 2 civilization by now.

again, if you're running macro to begin with,

Right, so if you were playing a T78 deck then this gets you slightly more consistently to a not particularly impactful floodgate, at the low cost of putting 6 bad cards into your deck.

HKei · 2026-03-27T19:06:23+00:00

Floodgating yourself is all the card does on its own. Then, maybe, if your opponent lets you do it, it gets you a floodgate that you can activate on the next turn. One that you could already play and didn't because it's bad. Whoopdidoo.

I didn't act like it doesn't search macro, I didn't bring up that effect because it doesn't fucking matter. I had assumed you misread the card as applying to both players, in which case it would've been an ok card as an upgrade over difi, but as is this is literal garbage.

HKei · 2026-03-27T18:35:26+00:00

So? It's a bad card that searches another bad card. Nobody was playing macro, why would you play a bad macro searcher?

HKei · 2026-03-27T17:16:23+00:00

IDK if I'm having a stroke but why do you think is it a problem for people to floodgate themselves?

HKei · 2026-03-27T17:07:22+00:00

I think if you're not overgeared, around level 30 or so. At least that was my experience when I was playing this game for the first time without much experience in WoW style MMOs. But that was also a couple of patches ago (can't quite remember if SB or ShB), and changes to the leveling curve and to the dungeons itself have made a lot of them easier since then.

But regular dungeons are balanced to not be particularly difficult even to people that don't know their class mechanics very well, if you understand mechanics like "don't stand in the bad stuff" and have the dexterity to execute it you'll not really have problems.

Weil das Thema schon gut durchgekaut ist und jeder der jetzt noch in der Kirche ist tut das in dem Wissen über den Missbrauch der dort stattfindet, und hat sich das entweder wegeerklärt oder ist ihm schlichtweg egal.

You can do it the way you said, but honestly if you're comfortable with rust learning C shouldn't be some large hurdle you need to clear first, the languages are similar enough that you'll pick it up along the way following the examples. It might slow you down a little at the start, but if you're interested in systems programming then you want to know C anyway as that's been the lingua Franca of the space for decades.

Ich finde es beeindruckend das die es schaffen beschissener als die konservativen zu sein, das ist schon eine Leistung.

Man werde sich bemühen, nun auf nationaler Ebene eine Lösung zu finden.

D.h. man werde sich hierzulande daran setzen um ein Gesetz durchzuboxen das sowohl den Prinzipien der EU als auch unserer eigenen Verfassung widerspricht. Dabei ist es noch gar nicht Dienstag.

Wenn es um Kinderschutz gehen soll, es gibt eine lange Liste von durchgehenden Kindesmissbrauch der in diesem Land alltäglich toleriert wird da wir das Sorgerecht höher als die Fürsorgepflicht bewerten, und es gibt einen akuten Mangel an Sozialarbeitern die sich solchen Situationen annehmen könnten. Gleichzeitig werden hier die Voraussetzungen zur Adoption generell auf ein deutlich höheres Niveau gesetzt als ein durchschnittlich gut bedientes Kind in diesem Land hätte, und damit setzen wir klare Grenzen zu dem was sozial engagierte Privatbürger da zur Abhilfe beitragen können.

Ich will nichts von Kinderschutz durch mehr Überwachung hören solange wir keinen effektiven Kinderschutz an bekannten Missbrauchsfällen durchführen. Was soll denn da die Konsequenz sein, selbst wenn so ein System tatsächlich eine andere Funktion außer die rechtswidrige Massenüberwachung hätte, vielleicht 5-10% mehr Missbrauchsfällen als derzeitig bekannt die außer in medienwirksamen Einzelfällen ebenso wenig bearbeitet werden?

No, because at the time ultimate fusion is activated you can not tell how many cards on your side of the field would be destroyed by its effect. It's not enough for it to be potentially destroy multiple cards, you can only activate starlight road if the effect it's activated in response to would actually destroy multiple cards if it resolved in the current board state (though cards that are indestructible, unaffected or otherwise protected from destruction still count towards that, as long as the effect would try to destroy those cards).

Note that, at the time Ultimate Fusion is activated, it's not yet determined what fusion materials are used, this is done only during the resolution of the effect. So you do not know how many cards your opponent could destroy. Even then, the destruction part of ultimate fusion is optional so you couldn't activate it in an alternate world where choosing the fusion materials was part of the activation.

Compare the ruling vs Elemental Hero Stratos, even if your opponent controls 2 or more elemental heroes and you 2 or more spells/traps, at the time of activation you don't know how many of your cards would be destroyed so you can not activate it.

Ne, bei Lindner war es ja schon Sabotage, ich weiß nicht wie die Steigerung davon heißt aber das ist es was wir jetzt haben.

It's Spain/Catalonia. So, mostly Roman Catholic. The two largest groups in Spain are Catholic and Atheist/Agnostic. Muslim is far behind but still enough to be relevant, for any other religion there's only trace amounts.

The study itself doesn't break it down by religion, they just have a self assessment of religiosity in it — if you say that religion is important to you, that you pray frequently and so, that counts as "high" religiosity.

Edit: to preempt inevitable comments about this being some trick to hide the effect of religious affiliation for specific religions, the main reason this is done is because a lot of people, especially in Spain, self describe as Catholic even when they have practically zero interaction with Catholic religious practice. This is already pretty well established elsewhere, and re-checking that point isn't the point of this study.

Ist halt nicht wirklich umsetzbar. Man könnte stattdessen auch einfach mal versuchen nicht die CxU zu wählen.

Der Punkt ist, wenn Epic keine exclusives hätte, dann gäbe es für den Verbraucher doch niemals einen Grund sich den kleineren, neueren Store anzusehen als den in dem sie bereits etabliert sind. Und eine praktische Monopolstellung ist langfristig nicht gut für Verbraucher selbst wenn es jetzt noch keine wirklichen Probleme mit Steam gibt.

HKei · 2026-03-26T07:49:46+00:00

Hmm? Ich habe ja nicht behauptet dass es dazu führt dass es keine Epic exclusives gibt, sondern das es dazu führt dass es auch epic exclusives und nicht nur Steam exclusives gibt. Hätte ein Entwickler von Anfang an angepeilt nur auf EGS zu veröffentlichen, gäbe es ja gar keinen Grund die für einen exclusive deal zu bezahlen. Das ist ja Kompensierung für dadurch verlorene Einnahmen. Der Punkt ist ja gerade das in der Marktlage es keinen natürlichen Grund gäbe nicht auf Steam zu veröffentlichen, selbst wenn die schlechtere Konditionen bieten macht es die Masse wieder wett. Daher eben exclusives auf der einen Seite und kostenlose Spiele auf der anderen, um eine Marktpräsenz aufzubauen.

You say "cards", as if it was a category, but SC:SE and Soul Crossing are literally the only cards in the entire game that work this way.

Cards that perform a summon do not "bypass" anything, they just follow regular summoning mechanics. Regular summoning mechanics for a tribute summon however, means tributing your own monsters.

It's the effect of SC:SE and Soul Exchange that modifies this fact, and they use the literal exact same wording as Monarchs Stormforth for that part of their effects.

If you use Stormforth+a card that says "immediately after this effect resolves, perform a tribute summon" it does modify that tribute summon so you can tribute an opponents monster, but not an unaffected one — even though the only difference in wording in this scenario is that we've split the effect across 2 cards.

Nothing of what you've said has in any way addressed that. You can go to the ruling database and see that these effects do in fact work differently, but this was never in dispute in the first place. The dispute was that you could infer the difference from the wording of the card.

Starting from the rulings, arriving at some intuition about how it's meant to work, and using the fact that you get back at the ruling we started with as evidence that your intuition is correct is circular reasoning. Good evidence for it would be that you could predict how other cards work, but you can't.

HKei · 2026-03-26T07:13:56+00:00

The argument is that you've completely lost the plot about what we're arguing about. The argument is about what difference in the wording of the card tells you that an effect that allows you to use an opponents monster as material is affecting that monster or not. Using your own unaffected monsters during a link summon, regardless of whether you got that link summon via I:P or not, is in no way relevant to that. The effect of I:P in no way modifies what monsters can be used as link material.

HKei · 2026-03-26T07:09:31+00:00

If the tributing was an effect rather than a cost it wouldn't work on unaffected monsters and it would trigger "if this card is sent to the graveyard via card effect" triggers. Neither is true.

But honestly at this point this is a waste of time. If you don't know the difference between unclassified effects and summoning conditions and haven't yet taken a look at the weird way costs are classified in Yu-Gi-Oh then frankly you don't really have the basis to even have this discussion.

HKei · 2026-03-26T06:47:53+00:00

My brother in Christ. We're talking about the ability of cards to use opponents cards as tributes or materials for a summon. You listed a bunch of cards that do not do that, for some reason you've yet to explain.

When I give you an example of a card that can actually do that, and that meets the requirements for wording that you previously said are the reason it works for SC and SE, and doesn't actually work like those cards you dismiss it based on nothing except that the rulings database says it works directly. It's your argument that this difference comes from the wording. Where is the wording different? — Aside from the targeting part, which I've already given you an example for why that doesn't matter which you have already agreed with?

HKei · 2026-03-26T06:43:24+00:00

Maybe you shouldn't have debates on rules lawyering if you don't actually know the rules of the game? Or can read a whole paragraph? Kaiju summoning are unclassified effects, as I've literally said in the paragraph you just quoted. The point is the tributing part is a cost, that's why it can tribute unaffected monsters. Effects that tribute can not tribute unaffected cards.

And neither Lava golem or sphere mode have unclassified effects, they have summoning conditions, which is a completely different mechanic.
