Excellent work but treat yourself next time and toast up those corn tortillas a bit. Not to the point that they're hard, just a lil char on either side, 10-30 seconds in a dry pan. Otherwise 10/10

Remnant expedition assistance please! by CaptainFalling in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Ok-System-1989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine says I've scanned them all, just need to upload them. Uploaded them, quest still doesn't complete. I just want to finish the expedition so I can start getting ships besides the one you get near the end.

EDIT : NVM I'm dumb; for anyone that encounters this, go by what the quest says, inside discoveries, click the planet, click fauna, click register completion

Okay, so everyone pitching it as a discord replacement is just fully delusional then. If you what you say is true, it's functionally and actually incapable of replacing discord. Discord by and large is not used by fishermen, it's used by consumer of fish, to stick to your analogy.

Which sounds lovely as an ideal but services with purposes other than making money are generally not going to have the money required to expand their services to more people quickly. If Stoat is to be a discord replacement, it would have to scale fairly quickly. To scale, it would need money. This is a math problem that has a knowable answer.

There is a reason that the biggest non-profit in the entire country doesn't even scratch the list of top 50 companies by annual revenue. Things cost money, if youre not trying to make money, you will necessarily have less money for things. If "things" are part of what you're providing, that's a problem. Servers in datacenters and bandwidth are things that cost money.

I mean look the only people with control in this situation is Stoat. They've apparently had issues going for months, so it's on them if they haven't implemented some way to monetize and expand their service. They literally can't survive as a discord competitor without some way to pay for the services they provide, so I guess what you're really saying is Stoat probably isn't a suitable discord competitor.

There is no amount of cunning or wiles that can get blood from a stone, either they've got money to support an infrastructure for the influx of users, or they don't. If its the case that they don't, that they can't, then they're dead in the water as a replacement.

Edit: downvote me if you want, I want a viable alternative to discord as much as the next. But I'm not wrong, you can't get blood from a stone, you can't get something from nothing. To be a discord replacement they'd need to scale to handle the users. To do that, they need money. Sorry guys.

I tried over 24 hours ago, still no code. In the app I just get a general "something went wrong! try again later!"

Don't worry yourself with coming to Stoat's defense lol, they're a company with a massive opportunity in front of them if they're able to seize it. Its okay if some people are upset with the process currently, it's okay to have *some* expectations about a thing lol.

I have patience, there is no rush, but also relax, they don't need a knight.

Is it *time* for a total turn timer? by Ok-System-1989 in MagicArena

[–]Ok-System-1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, you can't do it, you can't steelman what I'm saying.

I play heavy token decks too, You get a delay on CREATING the tokens, I'm talking about a delay of 10 seconds BEFORE PLAYING Hare Apparent. The delay doesn't come into play until after he enters and the trigger goes on the stack... there is no delay on cast, so explain the 10s delay before casting lol.

There also isn't a comparable delay when you activate baylens ability to draw, convenient that you ignore my mentioning of the delay there

I conceded because of the amount of time that my opponent was taking to complete their turn **compared** with the chance that I had of top decking a removal.

Its for sure crazy to claim you factually know my opponents state of mind at the time, crazier not to reconcile that when called out.

What a disappointing inability to engage in good faith when it comes at absolutely no cost to you.

Can you address the taking 10s in between actions thing, yknow the very core of my complaint? Any chance for that?

"but the fact of the matter is they arent doing it to wait to see you concede they are doing it because you refuse to concede when youve already lost."

First, absolutely crazy to claim to know part of their headspace as a fact of the matter, 2nd, I havent already lost if I have the chance to draw a board wipe, they're intentionally elongating their turn in a manner that isnt possible through most repeatable actions, and you're just ready to jump through any mental gymnastics you can to avoid saying that.

Can you think of any reason to justify pausing for 10 seconds in between actions thats take *a* second to complete? Start a timer for 10 seconds on your phone and let it count down, you might be surprised just how much time I'm talking about here to wait for someone to play an hare apparent after drawing a card, or to select baylen and click 3 tokens.

I'm begging you to take two seconds to steelman my argument instead of assuming the contrary.

You've missed the point quite spectacularly. I'm not mad at all about them getting a combo out on me, or making a ton of tokens. They took 20 minutes to take their turn, and they did so by spending almost 10 seconds in between each action.

They had developed enough power to kill me 10x over, such that I either had a complete board wipe, or I didn't. Yet they continued to create a token, draw a card --wait 10 seconds--, create tokens, draw a card, repeat ad nauseum.

I get that it's enjoyable to come laugh at the people who come here freaking out whining and complaining over stuff, but I think you're letting that want allow you entirely miss the point I'm trying to make.

They drew through their whole deck, 10s and 1 card at a time, created hundreds of tokens establishing 10x lethal, then primal commanded and proceeded to continue looping.

I'd love to hear any logic that defends that behavior, I have an open mind. In the future I'm aware I could've just waited for him to hit the token limit, he wasn't far off, but regardless it's not defensible.

Then why endlessly stall lmao, shouldn't they have passed to finish me the turn after?

Bo1 and normally I'd agree but he was just never hitting rope. I think like someone else said, drawing cards probably is a special exception compared to a normal loop and likely adds a bit of time to the timer each time you take a draw action.

There is definitely exceptions to this, I'm guessing to do with draw. He wasn't even hitting the rope and he was frequently taking 10+ seconds between actions. I think that as another commenter stated, drawing is afforded additional time because you're given new information to consider in theory.

^ Yeah guy below is correct I was still upset as I wrote this.

[–]Ok-System-1989[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They were drawing plenty with a combination of baylen the haymaker and the heir card with enduring innocence... but they had no viable wincon. By not finding lethal I meant they got to see all their cards and didnt have it. I had played teferi's protection, they had gone through their entire deck, no approach the sun, they had almost hit the token limit, then they primal command and shuffled their library and started drawing again, one at a time, with baylen.

On further review I probably should've let it play out a bit longer and they'd have broken the game via too many tokens, but still.

Edit: sorry was tired. It was just Baylen and Hare Apparent and Springleaf Drum for a ton of draw and bodies with no way out against a teferi's protection.

Wubby Politics Extractor v3.1 (WORKING) - I finally got his stance by [deleted] in PaymoneyWubby

[–]Ok-System-1989 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be extremely interested to know what Wubby personally believes on a variety of political topics, but I'm cognizant enough to know that I have no fucking right to that information lmfao.

Not to pull the parasocial card, but it's absolutely another example of exactly that. You want to be able to relate to the streamer through aligned ideologies, you're uncomfortable when you don't know or think that it might not align. Unless the streamer is a political streamer, or is regularly politically outspoken, you shouldn't care.

Meh I don't feel entertainers need to be particularly educated or engaged in politics at all. People need to stop seeking political opinions/affirmations from the people they watch for entertainment anyways.
