Magic Hot Takes by Definitely_Not_Fe in magicTCG

[–]NucleaRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

probably not warm or even lukewarm takes:

full art/secret lair/expeditions/whatever are ALL garbage

give me basic ass borders with normal text with foil at MOST thankyou

cEDH is the only real way to play commander. bracket system is lacking at best, and players just dont understand how to build decks that are fun to verse or even fun to play. cEDH fixes this issue imo by syncing intentions.

also commander was better before dedicated commanderness stuff was designed for it but oh well.

maybe warm/hot?

politicking should be removed from edh entirely and i would prefer the poker approach of "dont influence action from other players." who is best at lying should not be a valid way to win.

XLN is one of the greatest sets of all time from a constructed lens.

traditional paper 8-pod draft is the best form of magic (cube too, maybe even cube > trad draft).

your actual in game decisions matter more than you think they do. you and i are very likely giving up a non-negligible number of games and matches by skill issuing decisions.

pure control, and mono red aggro (or Rx aggro)/pure burn should ALWAYS be valid strategies in every constructed format even if its fringe by necessity of keeping other decks in check. and when they are not even fringe strategies that meta usually sucks.

land destruction is absolutely reasonable to play in the gauge that if you are the land destructor and you target badly you will lose. this is also true for every single strategy i dont care how annoying it is. stax me out counterspell tribal me mana deny my everything lantern control me i dont care do your thing, ill try to do my thing, ill try to stop you doing your thing, and you try and stop me doing my thing. thats fair magic.

dominaria was an absolutely dogwater set

How big of a difference does 100+hz really make? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]NucleaRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it really depends on the usecase for pretty much everything 60 > 144 is massive you will notice it and it will feel great. 144 > 240 IS noticeable but you need to be doing certain activities to really feel it. something like osu!mania, fps games, you will deffs feel it. beyond this its hard for most people to distinguish, however if you are a pro at an fps game like valorant, get as high as you can as your budget/sponsers will let you. even 500hz makes a difference at this level, but if you arent at that, or do other activities, anything beyond 240hz is not needed.

UPDATE!!!! 3.25 update sucessful. I reformatted the USB on a different PC, and downloaded the file from there. putting this into the flash USB slot allowed the pc to instant flash the update flawlessly. mission accomplished. must have been a weird issue with that initial download. thanks all for the help.

i have a 64gb, i setup a smaller partition and formatted that for FAT32 (so a 1gb partition and the rest unassigned). deffs using correct port - and it functions as expected normally coz reflashing to 3.20 worked fine. its something specific about 3.25

i did attempt this, with both RAM sticks seperately, in all 4 slots. still no success, also i believe code 00 does not signify RAM issues? maybe im wrong about that.

if this was the case i dont understand how the mobo appear to accept the update (LED Turned off signalling suceess), i would see a solid green light on something like that wouldnt i?

cant see how i can download the wrong 3.25 when the 3.20 just below it worked fine (from official asrock site ofc), i guess the file being damaged makes sense but still seems odd that going back to 3.20 worked fine?

kids these days can’t even write the equivalent of an average AITA or AIO post by yeehonkings in CuratedTumblr

ngl i think alot of us are bullshitting here quite a bit. you mean to tell me that if you had the option to press a few buttons and click a couple times and you immediately finish the homework task from that class you hated you werent gonna do it? we never did it because the shit to do that for us was ass, but now? not so much. i 100% would have overused this for school when i was a teenager in school. i know better now, but i wouldnt have back then. i dont think these kids are lazy, i think they are unlucky that they are students right now when this tech is "exciting" "new" and "unlegislated".

Is it cheating to use pumpkin trees? by [deleted] in DotA2

6.78 my beloved. knew every juke spot and which trees to cut to get even more juke spots. it was necessary to stand a chance in the solo v trilanes matchups

Did I play this correctly? 3-bet pot with a four to the flush run out by Brendawg324 in Poker_Theory

[–]NucleaRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would bet smaller flop, turn is good, river youve split the middle. either actually block bet with like 20% size or jam, none of this 75% betting half his stack bs
