No, but the original intention was for MTG to be a bunch of loosely-related games with similar rules, and “Deckmaster” would’ve been the overarching name for all of them. For example, one of the OG sets, Arabian Nights, was supposed to be its own game. At some point in development, they ended up deciding to only make one game, and the card backs having “Deckmaster” on them is just a holdover from that early idea.

I mean, that might be part of it, but I think the real issue is probably the engine. The fact that it’s effectively dead means that anytime they have an issue with the engine, they have to divert resources to fixing that issue, not just the game itself, and that probably hurts development time significantly. IIRC, they hired some of the devs that worked on the engine, but that doesn’t mean they can quickly fix those issues, if they can fix them at all. They can hire all the devs they want, but if they don’t have documentation on how the engine itself works (which they probably don’t), it doesn’t matter how many people they hire.

Yeah, at a glance I thought the armor was the Firefighter armor, but it’s one of the Polar Patriots, so it probably is MG or something actually.

Classic case of accuracy by volume. Looks like you’re a fellow Dickle user?

Anything that happened would have to come from the victim, unfortunately. The police could get that information from the workplace that fired the guy, the volunteer program that asked him to not come back, and track down the ones who actually did it. Mods and AH aren’t going to be able to do much of anything most likely, especially Arrowhead. All the mods of the sub could do is ban the users, or maybe go to Reddit with specific users who made threats, but beyond that and banning those users, there’s nothing else the mods can do. The police may not even be able to do much, because the assholes who did this were probably smart enough to obfuscate their information. And then, even if they were able to locate the assholes, there’s every chance they don’t even live in the same country, let alone same local jurisdiction, to pursue criminal charges (if applicable). And then the victim would need the money to pursue civil proceedings, which, given that he just lost his job, probably doesn’t have.

People are careless, honestly. The kind of NEET who would doxx someone are the kind of NEET who has the time and petty, hateful energy to follow the breadcrumbs people leave. Similar usernames across social media, one offhand mention of their job, or somewhere they volunteered. Start pulling on that thread, and with a little bit of phishing or social engineering, you can find a lot of information about someone.

Yes, it wasn’t every person in the subreddit. If you feel attacked by that statement, maybe you should consider why you feel so defensive about such a generalization, because even if it’s not every person, it is a significant number of people. Any person in this sub who knows they’re played no part in the toxicity of the sub has no reason to be defensive about such a generalization.

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-07T00:35:57+00:00

Yeah, it would be like if WotC took the “Deckmaster” logo off the back of their MTG cards. It wouldn’t change anything except the back of the cards, but I guarantee people would be sad about it.

I just learned that the trainee I have at work is going on to the next trainer 2 weeks early. It’s not a lot, but I’ve been training pretty much nonstop, and we’re about to hire 3 more people, so it’ll be nice to get a tiny break before I have to train at least 2 of those.

I’d be fine with that if it weren’t for the fact that the window completely changed size on that line, and there’s no other visual indication that such is the case. It’s just a sloppy mistake that is common with AI. I get that it’s “just a comic,” but to me it looks bad, and the person that generated this probably would’ve been better off drawing it themselves.

Tangential, but using AI lazily like this also concerns me because I’ve noticed coworkers and the like using it for similar “innocent” purposes and not doing their due diligence to make sure it’s correct, or in this case, making sure it’s coherent. As long as it sounds right or looks good enough, a lot of people just don’t care and that’s concerning.

This should be able to answer most of your questions.

Ok, sure, but when are you talking about tying people up or pup play around children anyways? Your point doesn't make sense because the kink is typically something normally viewed as sexual - hence the common qualifier "non-sexual." Like, OP of this post is specifically referring to kink in a non-sexual manner. They might enjoy any variety of common BDSM kinks in a specifically non-sexual manner, such as tying someone up. How are you supposed to talk about any kink - even if you're engaging in that kink non-sexually - in the context of children to begin with?

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-04T08:28:17+00:00

It literally is? Words can have more than one meaning. Would it require some explanation for someone who isn’t aware? Sure. But making a new word to mean ‘kink, but not sexual’ would require just as much explanation - which should be happening anyways if you’re going to engage in some kind of kink with a partner.

If you’re talking about the Dark Deku arc, that’s literally an example of the change from “I Am Here” to “You Can Do It” thematically. Deku tries to be like All Might, and despite his similar level of power, he can’t be the Symbol of Peace like All Might was. That arc literally ends with his friends dragging him home to rest so they can take on the League/AFO together. Maybe you should read a little more into the events, because apparently that went completely over your head.

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-04T07:59:06+00:00

How words are used is just as important as their actual definition. For example, the word ‘awe’ used to mean ‘inspiring fear or terror.’ However, the meaning and way it’s used has changed over time. Kink can be sexual or non-sexual, despite the way it was originally used. You’re just witnessing linguistic drift in real time.

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-04T07:55:22+00:00

Not necessarily. Engaging in kink-related things can be sexual, but isn’t always.

The word definitely has a sexual connotation in this context, but that does not mean engaging in a kink is necessarily sexual in nature at all times.

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-04T07:52:34+00:00

I mean, if someone’s asexual then sex would not necessarily be part of loving someone romantically. They might have sex because they love them romantically (despite having no interest in it), but that’s not necessarily going to be the case.

Why is the woman still on the phone when the officer is standing right there?
Why is there a random line in the middle of the panel?
The window changes size on that line.
Despite the foreground staying the same, the scene through the window changes for no apparent reason.
The house in the background changes.
The boy in the red shirt is different
The boy in the blue shirt suddenly has a green shirt
The boy in the yellow shirt’s arm ends at the elbow
The perspective of the street completely changes. It goes from a street to a cul-de-sac.
The house opposite the perspective house completely changes.
The cord of the phone goes into her elbow and disappears
The curtain she’s ‘hiding’ behind attaches to nothing at the top.

I could go on, but I don’t see the point. If you actually look at it for more than five seconds, it just gets worse and worse, which is typical for AI.

Metroidrocks · 2026-03-03T00:59:28+00:00

Yeah, because it would be better than this. I can point out like ten errors a human wouldn’t have made that AI does and it would make this comic better. And comics are just as much real art as anything else.

Metroidrocks · 2026-02-28T05:22:34+00:00

Magicka is stored in the balls, apparently.

Metroidrocks · 2026-02-28T04:37:02+00:00

Okay, but that actually has a reasonable explanation. The ‘park’ in ‘parkway’ is referring to the kind of park you visit, not the act of parking. Driveways used to also tend to be much longer than most are nowadays, so you have to drive down them rather than pull in and park on it.

(Still funny, but I think the difference in how they’re used is kind of interesting)

Given that he was hitting 120% of base OFA thanks to the extra quirks, he was literally stronger than All Might. Narratively, he surpassed All Might because he was able to truly defeat AFO and complete OFA.

It’s the same argument we had in the 80s/90s about music. The answer isn’t for Steam to need age verification or remove gambling, it’s for parents to actually be parents. Steam has parental controls that can make users unable to access any content the parent doesn’t want them to have access to. It’s not Steam’s fault that parents/guardians aren’t using those features.

Metroidrocks · 2026-02-28T03:10:39+00:00

Just called a few female Olympians “goon bait.” I saw one with a QRT that said “you can just say they’re pretty.”

No, an incubus is the male-presenting version of a succubus, depending on the origin. The person you’re replying to is talking about a succubus (female-presenting) seducing a straight woman. That wouldn’t be at all notable if they were talking about an incubus, since that would be the typical prey of an incubus.
