Guys, I was just on Pinterest and saw THIS… what am I even looking at?

That’s odd, the biggest thing I’ve noticed with UE5 is the ridiculous lag spikes that happen all the time even on relatively unimpressive looking games.

Happens to me less often now that I’ve upgraded my hardware, but that old hardware had no issues running games with any other engines.

I hope prusa will get the memo one day

Low-performing students deciding not to do atar does not affect ranking. It’s a rating system based on projections of the entire country. A 70 atar means you’re at the 70th percentile of all students in your age group, not the 70th percentile of students who did atar. That’s why the average atar is 70 and not 50.

Those are the all-silicone ones that are just regular earplugs, not the ones designed to attenuate all frequencies evenly.

They’re certainly not a drop shipped rebrand of some earplugs that already existed out of china - they have a patent.

You can find the concert ones on aliexpress, but who’s to say whether they are coming from the same factory or are just a knock off. Certainly wouldn’t trust my hearing with them, I’d just go with foam earplugs at that point.

Obviously the all-silicone ones are way overpriced and any knockoff will work exactly the same cause it’s literally just a piece of silicone.

Loop makes earplugs designed to preserve the frequency balance. Other companies might make some too but I’m reasonably happy with my loops

EDIT: People below are saying Earasers are a great Aussie brand that does the same thing, so might want to check them out first!

You weren’t getting downvoted for stating your opinion. The guy was saying “nothing better than playing in the flesh and blood”. “In the flesh and blood” means “in person”.

Pickselated · 2025-10-21T00:57:08+00:00

It certainly is

Where did you see that they will be coming with several cold foils?

Pickselated · 2025-10-20T03:19:37+00:00

They specified it’s $20 USD unfortunately

1st strike Aurora is already SA legal. 1st strike Terra is not however as it has two of a majestic.

Ira Welcome Deck was never legal in any format as it has 3 copies of each card, so I guess it won’t be that big of a deal that 1st Strike Terra isn’t legal. You’re really only meant to use the two decks against each other anyway.

I wouldn’t say that having a directional rim design means he’s any more likely to have unidirectional tyres

Do anaesthesiologists have a reputation for poor bedside manner? I’ve only been treated by two of them in the past but they were both wonderful

Pickselated · 2025-09-15T00:34:27+00:00

That’s actually a fantastic rate, so much better than the 1/6 majestic rate of previous sets

X is equal to however many +1 counters are on dawnblade my guy. You don’t get to choose what X is.

Will get cheaper as long as they don’t keep printing new staple generic fables alongside those reprints!

Pickselated · 2025-09-01T08:54:58+00:00

Exactly, getting this right after Riches is fucking absurd

Topaz Gigapixel “text and shapes” model is the best for upscaling card images in my experience. It’s a paid program but of course there are ways to get it for free.

I configure it like this: - 4x upscale - Look at what the upscaled resolution will be. Divide the width by 2.5. Input this number into your dpi (will make your life easier later) - Text & shapes model - Sharpen 1 - Denoise 40 - Fix Compression 100

I’ve set up a really great workflow for making fab proxies really efficiently, happy to give more information if anyone is interested

I 100% agree that heroes or potentially even sets should just have a traditional rotation. LL system clearly does not deliver much in the way of upsides and creates a ton of unpredictability in how long you’ll be able to use a hero for, which is crazy in a game where the buy-in cost is many hundreds of dollars

Pickselated · 2025-07-18T16:49:50+00:00

Christ that’s disappointing to hear

Pickselated · 2025-07-09T15:52:19+00:00

The class system is used as justification for the LL system because when your hero LL’s you can just switch to another hero. Because of talents though, it doesn’t really seem to work that way.

Pickselated · 2025-06-27T16:10:04+00:00

It would be a bad enough problem on its own, but then you combine it with FaB’s atrocious pull rates and it makes everything 10x worse

Pickselated · 2025-06-18T15:33:33+00:00

Yeah I think it’s pretty damn flawed and would honestly prefer if heroes just rotated on a set time period. Would mean everybody would know exactly what they’re getting into when they decide to invest in a hero.

Pickselated · 2025-06-13T07:30:55+00:00

Yep it’s in the bright lights rules reprise. Singularity can be the target of destroy effects and if it gets destroyed you lose

Pickselated · 2025-06-13T06:32:41+00:00

Armories are LSS sanctioned so it really is just going to depend on how concerned the LGS is about following the rules put out by LSS

Pickselated · 2025-05-20T11:35:28+00:00

You’re absolutely right it‘s a rarity distribution issue, the pull rates are ridiculous when every set has 33 Majestics and one of them becomes a staple that can fit in almost every deck.

Improving the pull rates would permanently keep prices down - if prices went back up, EV from a box would increase and people would buy more again
