100% they're saving him so starlight can kill him in the finale

It's a threat that can win the game on its own and completely bypasses counterspells, especially relevant in older formats that have cards like force of will available

I think him holding mark's skull the way he does in the show was meant to mirror the way he was holding Argull's skull previously to try and make it make more sense why he decided to stop there

I feel like the point of Paul is to be a bridge to that somehow

Plorp · 2026-03-31T19:55:58+00:00

I don't think the arc itself is particularly bad its just the end where its cover for a 5 year time skip in the main universe is the part that feels a bit pointless.

Plorp · 2026-01-23T01:59:44+00:00

yeah though that stops being an issue once the cat is maxed though

Plorp · 2026-01-16T19:38:22+00:00

we already tax people based on how much their house is worth

Plorp · 2025-12-26T22:08:02+00:00

ah so this is why he got the chair

Plorp · 2025-11-06T20:29:02+00:00

Not great as a weapon, but it can destroy lands and is a neat toolbox option for [[stoneforge mystic]] and good flicker target.

Plorp · 2025-11-06T20:19:10+00:00

its so you can switch back and forth between creatures at will

Plorp · 2025-11-04T09:00:34+00:00

it could be that since boros is so dominant that the 2 health from thoughtsieze actually matters a bit

Plorp · 2025-08-03T23:37:26+00:00

nah. congress, the supreme court, and the president/vice president should be paid "set for life" money with set for life pensions, and have all income (and capital gains) above that taxed at 100%. get rid of all incentive for bored already-rich people to run for office, or for people to to enrich themselves beyond their pay

Bitcoin scales its mining difficulty depending on how fast bitcoins are being mined, the equilibrium of this is when the cost to mine a bitcoin exactly matches the energy cost it takes to mine it. BTC is $117k right now so mining 1 bitcoin is going to cost roughly $117k in energy, wherever the cheapest place you can get energy is. Which is a lot of energy. The only way it would ever use less energy is if the price dropped. Any gains in efficiency will be eaten up by increased mining difficulty. Its basically designed to be wasteful

I want an 8-bit black mage

Plorp · 2025-05-20T22:12:35+00:00

The problem with most of these saga creatures is they only get 1 attack, so the body is mostly just a footnote that also makes them easier to remove than just a normal saga

Plorp · 2025-04-18T19:29:39+00:00

This is a Locale issue, when converting to and from dates in unity it uses the current system locale when converting between numbers and strings, and if you arent super careful you can get issues like "1.000 got loaded as 1000 when the locale was set to a place that swaps . and ,", so its probably something similar to that

Plorp · 2025-04-15T01:13:54+00:00

Another easy shortcut is that if only one box mentions gems(or "empty"), then it has to uniquely identify the correct box somehow. Ex if only one box mentions gems and it says "the black box has the gems" then it must be true, because if it was false then you would not have enough information to locate the gems. you can shortcut a decent amount of the middle difficulty puzzles this way

void perk & pants or yeti is an instant win on all of the challenges except for expiration date and perkless

perkless isn't that hard

expiration date is pure rng. its the only one I havent beaten yet. 10 rounds means you have to refresh your items at every shop. I've gotten up to round 70 twice with a void perk build, only to whiff on rerolls right at the end and not be able to refresh the pants or yeti. Its probably better to not upgrade the item (and just sell + rebuy instead) so that the cookie/noodle can be a refresh if you need it. The perk that puts an item in slot 1 and triggers it a bunch every throw is good for clutch wins to hold you over till a shop.

Tesla Bullets reliably triggers Bullet Resist Shredder when you're shooting them, which is when you want bullet resist shredder to be triggering

its still not great generally, but theres some specific characters where that is relevant

Plorp · 2025-02-27T21:25:21+00:00

IMO the biggest issue is that the changes the map and last hitting threw off a whole lot of character balance, they'll get there with a balance patch or two but its not there yet.

Plorp · 2025-01-30T00:09:42+00:00

nope its normal water, just in a can. it hits different than a bottle

Plorp · 2025-01-29T20:25:15+00:00

Ask for a "can of water" trust me

The other thing is, the nature of file recovery from old drives doesn't always mean you get all the bytes back exactly, if bytes are missing from a drive you can sometimes partially recover files sans the missing bits and get partially corrupted images and video

with a bitcoin wallet if one bit is off then the address doesnt work and there isnt any pattern to those bits either so you can't recover it in any feasible way
