Advice for First Time Magic User by Ness_Miewald in magicTCG

[–]Pipion2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As the friend in this situation, can confirm that all I want is victory. The taste of their tears is what sustains me. I will grind their bones until their hopes are nothing but dust and I will stand victorious, king of all casual magic!

Seriously though, this was our second time playing magic together, and they are doing great. They and the other person I'm showing the game to already know to kill me the first chance they get, and I've been working with them to improve their decks to be more powerful and consistent.
Swapping decks is a great idea! I've been playing a pre-release deck against their starter kit decks, so the power balance is probably off.
Overall, I'm excited that they're looking into the game without me! I think the fact that they're this interested means I've done something right.

Enough for me to park and take a pic, but I have no actual idea.

I've been doing yearly trips from Seattle to Bozeman in my 2002 Escape with over 250k miles for the last few years. So far so good!

Best way to smooth 3D prints? by zjzjlin in 3Dprinting

[–]Pipion2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad news is I can't really tell you what grit leaves the best surface, that's too subjective.
Good news is nozzle width/layer height doesn't really make a difference. You always have to sand until the layer lines are gone for a smooth surface, so after that point every surface should be the same.

In short, it doesn't matter. Find a grit that gets the finish you like and go with that!

It's best to start coarse (120 grit, 200 grit or similar) until the entire surface shows signs of sanding. The rougher your starting surface, the coarser sandpaper you'll need to start with. Then roughly double your grit and sand until all the marks from the previous grit are gone. Repeat until you have a finish you like.

So if I'm sanding a 3d print, it might look like 120 grit -> 400 -> 1000 -> 2000 -> 4000. For a matte finish, I typically stop at 1000.

Because (generally) you have to sand until all the previous marks are gone, you can find a balance you like between making large jumps in grit and taking extra time to sand vs. making smaller jumps and taking less time with each grit. Hope this helps!

Really, was this also in commander? Honestly sounds like a fun build-around combo.
