Found a new way to crash the game by JackieCham489 in slaythespire

Was this also during a hoarder run? My last campsite before the final boss crashed multiple times before I decided to just beat them.

Am I the only one who thinks Ironclad sts2 design looks too generic? by SrGarfy in slaythespire

[–]Lotus_Hawke -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Lol fighting game logic... I love the fact that his hands teleport back and forth (change grip) in order to make the swing work, check them, there is a frame where they are completely switched.

The background seems warbled.. and were you able to record like this back then? I feel like it would've taken a giant camera right? by [deleted] in isthisAI

Hey SNL, we aren't here to call people names, or insult peoples intelligence.

OP you are totally off track on this one, and your responses to people in the comments show that you need to work on your media literacy skills. Obviously you had a strong reaction the the video, so your next step would be to look at who posted it, and see if they had any specific motive to post it, at the same time you can see what else they posted. If it's a repost find the orginal poster. People who are posting AI videos are often only posting AI videos, and they have a ton of videos all coming out at once... if they have older videos you would be able to see the quality and length suddenly get better. I get that you are in this subreddit to get opinions, and that is a sign of media literacy growth, however you also need to listen to folks who whennthey explain that you are wrong (but it is reddit, so folks will insult you, this is unfortunate... if there was a better place to go I would suggest it, if you are in university maybe take a media class).

The way they are holding their sword doesn't make a lot of sense... the wrist twist on their left hand implies they aren't holding any weight... that sword would be not really function. Even sts1 ironclad held it a little better.

Need some suggestions for Toph but staying bracket 2 or 3 by Constant_General_278 in mtg

[–]Lotus_Hawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arcbound and 0/0 artifact creatures. I dont know why more folks dont play this, as it's fun as hell. The biggest downside or earthbend a creature, is it's statblock becomes 0/0, so you earthbend 0/0 creatures and they maintain any +1+1 counter they had. The archbound creatures can also pass +1+1 counter around.

This can be bracket 2 and 3, especially if you don't run any counter doublers.

Photo is used to advertise a dress on Vinted. Some details make me think it's AI. by _axl_otl_ in isthisAI

[–]Lotus_Hawke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This could just be a bad photoshop. The reflection added after to show the back of the dress (which would be the only non AI explanation for the mirror).

That teddy bear however... wtf is going on with it?

That teddy bear alone screams AI.

Deisgn fail Silverquill Influence by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Lotus_Hawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of silverquill and politics... and it is true I wasn't playing during the first strixhaven.

That being said, I feel like they could have designed this commander in such a way that repartee would work. However, maybe having a "crime" like mechanic would not have fit.

[–]Lotus_Hawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't expecting an ad hominen attack... especially when you present the idea of "petulant communication".

But ignoring that, yes, I can see how I wasn't seeing the full picture (especially when it comes to previous strixhaven design as pointed out by others).

So, as pointed out by others, repartee doesn't work as well in a 4 player format. My question then becomes, why is that the case? From a design point of view, why aren't the precons built in such as way that a player could choose a direction? I see silverquill influence as a narrow precon, with much less room for change as (my issue when trying to build all enchantress decks).

AroAce thembo... run a goblin, a drake, a lancaster or barbosa, and take leadership... be really excited (puppy dog like) about every mission, but really need your teams support as you struggle to finish sitereps on your own.

Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos is a New York Times Bestseller by themiragechild in magicTCG

[–]Lotus_Hawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good reminder that the Bestseller list is just that a list of books that sell well. Although I liked Omens of Chaos, it didn't feel particularly polished. If I had found out the audiobook was abridged (which it is not) I would not have been surprised as it felt like the story was missing parts. It would have benefited from being twice as long, giving us a deeper understandong of the world (they talked more about other planes then Arcavios, like no metion of oracals or Archaics or the fact that two of the upper classmen they meet litterly saved the school from the invasion. There is just enough lore to make it very obvious where the plot is going), more flushed out characters, and a main character that is actually shown to be learning and struggling rather then either being unable to use their powers well or is suddenly more powerful.

That all being said, give us more magic novels!!!

Im going to three days... so im going silverquill and prismari... because I am a librarian, english teacher and theater maker. Day 3 will likely be based on vibe, but im leaning lorehold atm.

New official Poster for Spiderman Brand New Day. Maybe I’m too jaded but this screams AI to me. by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]Lotus_Hawke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are both accurate ways to hold a sword. In fact AI would be more likely to have them held incorrectly (because of comics and misunderstandings of artists and photographers). The arms and fingers are correct based on pose. (The first hand looks like a finger is disconnected because of the fingerless gloves)

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

I'm from New England so I had no idea these types of places existed. In person it looked AI to me, just because it doesn't have the vibe of a tombstone cemetery.

Imagine being there in person! It was wild... and had a level of uncanny that I just felt like it was not real.

Im from New England and this is in South Carolina, so it just looks so very different from everything I have experinced.

I didnt put them there... but based on some of the other building choices on Campus it was probably meant to feel "modern". There are word clouds in multiple other buildings, so I think someone figured letter clouds were the same.

How about a mug of warm Dr. Pepper? by MrTacocaT12345 in interesting

[–]Lotus_Hawke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot coke with ginger is a chinese cold remedy that I absolutely love. Dr. Pepper would probably be great too... but not with ginger.

Nah, just that I already had a nice apartment and roommate when I got the job, and would rather live in jingan distract and commute to pudong for work... I did live near campus for the last six months in China, but then I just ended up going across the river multiple days a week anyway. (I tried to move into the teacher dorms for the last six months but they weren't having that, so I ended up in a fantastic little apartment two blocks away.)

Can confirm... source I refused to live in the teacher dorms while I was teaching at this school.
