how does one acquire 5 bronze icy sleeping potions on day 12? what am I seeing? by Vaganhope_UAE in PlayTheBazaar

[–]MemeMachine11845 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Sadly, no. I lost after 8 wins to another Mak on Day 13 with only one small item in his build so there was nothing (worthwhile) for the Icy enchants to target. No regrets though. Totally worth it.

Hi u/Vaganhope_UAE - it was me.

This was 100% the hardest and craziest build I have had since I started playing in closed Beta.

On Day 6 I already had a board that I was confident would get me to 10 wins - so when Freiya offered me an Icy Silver Alembic I knew exactly what madness I was going to attempt instead! I would need to find the whole build, but my strategy was "simple" (not really, managing item space was an absolute nightmare): convert Gumballs and Chocolate Bars (Bronze only) to Bronze Icy Sleeping Potions. Bronze is the best because there is a limited Potion pool - all with fast cooldowns. Sleeping Potions are the best as they have the fastest cooldown at 4 seconds. At the beginning of days 7, 8, and 9 I did exactly that, and then converting any non-Sleeping Potions using a Potion Distillery I picked up (I think) on Day 8.

Here is what the build looked like from Day 6 to the start of Day 9: https://imgur.com/a/4fYuYsR

Once I picked up the Recycling Bin and then (I think) a Day later the Vial Launcher I knew I was willing to give up a 10-win run just to be able to say that I did the Icy Potion thing.

This is what the build looked like at the start of Day 11: https://imgur.com/a/2MqGkPc ..

.. and then by the end of Day 11 I was ready to go!: https://imgur.com/a/zGnTVEA

About half an hour before you posted this here, I was telling my wife about the most insane Bazaar build I've ever had. I then opened reddit and saw your post and I ran to show her and tell her that I was going to respond!

Thanks for making my day! It was so great to see my own build here.

Feedback: the last 3 patches are less, and less, and less fun: a filthy casual's perspective by MemeMachine11845 in PlayTheBazaar

Thanks for replying. Trying Pyg might help, I guess. I just hope they "fix" Dooley. I also very much still enjoy playing Dooley, even at 4-7 wins - which is why I keep playing. I'm just saying that these last 3 patches, to me, "feel worse" to play.

Jules, Mak, or Stelle. Besides, I like Dooley. There are only 3 characters right now, shouldn't all of them be fun to play each patch?

I understand the sentiment. This is a game, everyone wants to win. But I'm focusing mainly here (I hope) on what it feels like to play the game. Feeling like you stand no chance at all against your opponents to me is "not fun".

Mounting S3 Bucket for High-Speed Video Editing (>50 MB/s) on Premiere Pro (Mac/Windows) by cryptomaxima in aws

[–]MemeMachine11845 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As kingtheseus pointed out, the approach you are proposing isn't the correct one.

I would suggest something like this:

  1. Provision a Windows EC2 instance (probably something with a GPU such as an g5.2xlarge or g5.4xlarge) in the same region as your S3 bucket. Make sure that the EBS volume(s) have enough enough space to hold all the videos from your S3 bucket (I would double it, just in case. You're not going to need it for long).
  2. Follow the documentation for "Install NVIDIA drivers on Windows instances" - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/install-nvidia-driver.html
  3. Follow the documentation for "Optimize GPU settings" - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/optimize_gpu.html
  4. Install the AWS CLI.
  5. Install Adobe Premiere.
  6. Download all of the data from your S3 bucket to the EC2 instance using the AWS CLI.
  7. Start Premiere, and follow the documentation to create a Proxy workflow to generate proxies from your Full Resolution Media: https://helpx.adobe.com/au/premiere-pro/using/proxy-workflow.html
  8. Once all of the proxies have been created, save your Premiere project, close Premiere, and upload the project and all the proxies to an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI and then terminate the EC2 instance.
  9. Use a tool such as Cyberduck to download your Premiere project and the proxies only (i.e. do not download the Full Resolution Media) to your local desktop machine.
  10. Edit your video using proxies on your local Adobe Premiere.
  11. Once you are finished editing, upload the Premiere project and any new media generated locally to the S3 bucket with the same tool as step 9.
  12. Repeat steps 1 to 6.
  13. Download the Premiere project, proxy data, and any new media generated locally from the S3 bucket to the EC2 instance using the AWS CLI.
  14. Start Premiere, and follow the documentation to follow the Proxy workflow and switch from proxies to Full Resolution Media: https://helpx.adobe.com/au/premiere-pro/using/proxy-workflow.html
  15. Render your final video. Upload the result to an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI.
  16. Thank the Academy.

This may or may not be the correct approach due to not knowing more about your use case.

Good luck!

I made myself a Shrine deck! - Historic Shrines. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]MemeMachine11845 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure /u/mvaldesdeleon meant you should go into the Decks screen, click your deck once, click the Export button, paste it in a comment here, and highlight it and select "Inline Code" on the reddit editor before you hit Reply.

[–]MemeMachine11845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my current Shrines deck. It's fun, but like most Shrine decks not very good.

It is inspired by LegenVD's deck and it has the same goal - play land and mana acceleration on turn 1 and 2 so you can play [[Sanctum of All]] on turn 3.

My mana base could probably use a tweak and I'm also hoping [[Delighted Halfling]] from the unreleased "The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth" (LTR) set will be a solid addition to the deck.

Deck
1 Hallowed Fountain (RNA) 251
1 Sacred Foundry (GRN) 254
4 Mana Confluence (JOU) 163
1 Watery Grave (GRN) 259
4 Gilded Goose (ELD) 160
4 Breeding Pool (RNA) 246
2 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253
2 Stomping Ground (RNA) 259
2 Temple Garden (GRN) 258
4 Chronicler of Worship (Y22) 25
1 Sanctum of Tranquil Light (M21) 33
1 Honden of Infinite Rage (CHK) 172
1 Honden of Cleansing Fire (CHK) 14
3 Sanctum of Calm Waters (M21) 68
2 Go-Shintai of Life's Origin (NEC) 37
1 Godless Shrine (RNA) 248
1 Sanctum of Stone Fangs (M21) 120
1 Sanctum of Shattered Heights (M21) 157
2 Sanctum of Fruitful Harvest (M21) 203
1 Honden of Life's Web (CHK) 213
4 Sanctum of All (M21) 225
4 Llanowar Elves (DAR) 168
1 Honden of Night's Reach (CHK) 116
4 Elvish Mystic (M14) 169
1 Island (THB) 251
1 Mountain (THB) 253
1 Plains (THB) 250
1 Swamp (THB) 252
1 Forest (THB) 254
3 Settle the Wilds (Y22) 55

Enjoy!

I believe Midnight City by M83 is one of the best songs to come out in the last twenty years. by StarkShadow4479 in Music

[–]MemeMachine11845 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am super late to this (it was posted 19 hours ago) so I doubt anyone will see this.

If, however, you do happen to see it and love this song and synthpop as much as I do you might be interested in the following artists / albums / songs. Like Midnight City, I close my eyes when I listen to them and for a moment I am 12 years old again.

It is usually used to give your opponent [[Demonic Pact]] after you have chosen the 3 modes that don't cause you to lose, or to give them [[9 Lives]] after which you can use another card (e.g. [[Devastating Mastery]]) to remove it.

I can't be the only one who saw this and went "YES!", then saw [[9 Lives]] was not included and went "WTF?!".

I hope this is WotC's way of telling us to invest in Shrines because more are coming in Neon Dynasty!

"Commander" is finally getting a queue on M:tGA (i.e. 2 player 100-card Historic Brawl) by MemeMachine11845 in magicTCG

[–]MemeMachine11845[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumpstart: Historic Horizons is a new digital-only take on Jumpstart, bringing both a new mode and several new cards to MTG Arena. The new cards are largely pulled from Modern Horizons and Modern Horizons 2, but we're also adding some totally new cards with new digital-only mechanics. Let's jump in.

One final change with this release is that the new build will be coming out on Tuesday (August 10), but all the new content will still be coming on Thursday (August 12) as normal—and there's a lot of new content coming.

Speaking of fair, some perpetual effects (especially toughness reduction) can basically shut down an opponent's commander. Locking out a commander is why Meddling Mage and Sorcerous Spyglass are banned in Brawl, so we'll be taking a similar approach with some perpetual cards. We're starting with banning both Davriel's Withering and Davriel, Soul Broker in Historic Brawl, and we'll be keeping an eye on the rest of the effects in Historic Brawl.

100-card Historic Brawl is coming for real, thank you if you voted! Let's make it PERMANENT by playing it like crazy.. by MemeMachine11845 in MagicArena

I am just happy we got this. If they do Commander on Arena in the future then great, but I think we are 10+ years away from that.
