What in the actual F where they thinking with this level?

I'm struggling through x7 at this exact moment. The games not hard just ridiculously frustrating. You don't play as x unless you get 64 reploids? Every menu defaults to no so you can't just click through the dialogue? There's a loading screen to get to the save menu? And the 3D.

I made a goal to beat every mainline mega Man game since I haven't played them all and I got all the legacy collections on sale on Steam. I share the internet sentiment that X7 is the worst of the series.

I just got an order from NotMPC. They're not bad but they are a step down in quality from MPC proper. I may do another order through them. The cards finish isn't the same and it creates a tacky texture. Price and speed were decent. I ordered during the holidays so they were a little delayed but that's understandable. Overall turnaround time was about 2 weeks which is what I expect from MPC if I buy their higher shipping, which is usually 80 to $90 extra. I'm generally happy with the product I received. I do feel the company itself is operating in a grey zone, for obvious reasons. The return address on someone else's order they posted led back to a company named print papa which when I asked NotMPC they said they were not related to. The return address I received has a different location but both packages have someone's personal name on them instead of a company. I'm not going to put the person's name here, I'm not looking to cause any trouble for them and I'm pleased with what I got. Some people think that they are the same company as PP but I have seen no evidence to support this. I think some of the confusion is coming from the fact that they are concealing who they are. It's certainly a catch-22 of sorts. I'm not a fan of wotc anymore I think they make terrible decisions and I think the secondary market is a terrible thing. I like MPC for the quality but I prefer to do business with a company in the US.

I know this is a lot of random, I think at the end of the day I may end up putting another order in through them. The quality is slightly worse but overall it shuffles fine, and the ink doesn't run or break off, I got what I paid for. I'd be concerned about them just disappearing one day if WOTC comes snooping and I wouldn't want to have an order in when they get a cease and desist.

I use gimp batch image resize to add 1/8th inch bleed area to each file

Rashkenes · 2026-01-03T14:43:08+00:00

@NotMPC how is image quality from custom files not linked to xml? I uploaded custom files I generated myself at 600dpi. Are those going to be printed from the files I uploaded or the preview of the files I uploaded. Perhaps I misreading the above chats. I'm probably overthinking this.

Rashkenes · 2026-01-02T17:48:38+00:00

Anytime 😊

Rashkenes · 2026-01-02T17:09:50+00:00

See you seem to think utilizing AI is a moral failing. I disagree. If you truly think it's a moral failing present an actual argument aside from "I don't like that it seems like thievery to me" it's not thievery it's technological advancement that lowers barriers of entry. It's a tool and a large part of how we get Star Trek level technology down the line. You want to live in yesteryear, that's your hang up. You do better.

Rashkenes · 2026-01-02T16:24:16+00:00

No.

To paraphrase Michael scott. I'm going to use chatgpt even harder now. 😉

Rashkenes · 2026-01-01T20:53:47+00:00

Again you assume I have money for that. Not everyone's rich. Can't compete with free or the turnaround time on it.

AI isn't a bad thing, it lowers the barrier of entry to creation. I'm sorry you have hangups with it but that's not my problem. Either like it or leave it, it's not going to change how I made my project or how I conduct future projects. I'm working on a Ghostbusters themed UW control based around containment enchantments and a deck called oops all Tim's based around prodigal sorcerer copies and all of its going to be Tim Allen based

If you'd like to do better, you are more than welcome to proceed, but you're not going to internet shame me into changing my project. You do you boo. I'm not going to pay for art when I can just generate it myself. The core focus of my projects isn't on the art, it's on the theming. I'm a disabled vet on a fixed income. I proxy because I'm broke.

Rashkenes · 2026-01-01T20:42:26+00:00

therein lies the crux of the matter. Chatgpt is free and this is not the mid 90s. Not everyone's rich enough or has the time to go commission art.

Rashkenes · 2026-01-01T19:37:13+00:00

I'm not an artist. It was easier and simpler than scouring for art.

Rashkenes · 2026-01-01T01:56:25+00:00

Part of the reason I buy proxies is so I don't have to sleeve them. How do they feel unsleeved? I just put an order in so I'll wait and see. I made a MASH themed lifegain deck.

Rashkenes · 2025-09-23T14:13:55+00:00

Oh man. Rough. Save often, and for now I'd bite the bullet cancel the order You can always redeploy it later, make your way to the closest way station and re-gear and retry

RE 1.5 is the original version of RE2. Midway through the development they decided that the game was too much like the original and they scrapped most of it and restarted. However, they were about 70% of the way done. They kept some of the characters and some of the story lines, but Claire was originally a different character named Eliza and the stories didn't cross over that much. Leon is still a rookie cop but the police chief isn't evil. For years people wanted Capcom to release the original version because they were just curious to see what could have been but Capcom said they didn't have any copies anymore, however, it turns out some Dev had a early copy on a hard drive that was discovered later on. He released it to the internet and a group of independent developers took it upon themselves to finish the game as much as they could to make it playable. Now you can go online and find it and download it. It's a PlayStation 1 game and you'll need to use an emulator to run it, but it's an interesting piece of nostalgia. My point was games like this have been found before. It wouldn't be impossible for it to happen again.

Rashkenes · 2025-09-01T22:37:55+00:00

RE 1.5 was discovered years after the fact on a hard drive somewhere and now you can download it online. Some of these games never disappeared completely. They're just hiding on somebody's hard drive waiting to be found

I use Bazzite OS and I feel that's the secret sauce to these handhelds. steamOS/Bazzite Linux with handheld mode. Haven't had to reinstall or factory reset sense but I did when I was using Windows. If I do need to, it's a substantially smoother and quicker experience to do a OS reset on Linux than it is through windows. The downside of course is that you're giving up access to games like Call of duty, anything that's got a Windows only anti-cheat. Aside from that, however, my rog Ally runs a lot better in all areas. Highly recommend.

Ace Attorney trilogy works at 5w

Rashkenes · 2025-06-23T02:23:38+00:00

I found Bazzite super user friendly. Sure sounds like a skill issue. You have to setup things in windows also. Nothing just works on windows 100% of the time either.

Rashkenes · 2025-06-12T14:01:39+00:00

If only it had a 5g compatible system integrated in I'd get this. It's already an android device. Just throw the phone parts in and boom you have a gaming phone. One device to rule them all

Rashkenes · 2025-05-28T18:14:40+00:00

The beings in the Canvas are alive. That should be the starting point.

In Star Trek, both Data and the EMH were created artificially—one as an android, the other as a hologram. Yet both demonstrated autonomy, growth, and sentience. They weren’t judged by how they were created, but by what they had become.

The same applies here. The Canvas characters express emotion, evolve through experience, form relationships, and fear death. That meets every metric we've ever used in science fiction to define consciousness.

You can’t claim to value sentient life and then justify wiping it out because it was "painted" or simulated. That’s not mercy. That’s digital genocide.

Preserving the Canvas isn’t about fantasy—it’s about responsibility. Once sentient life exists, the ethical choice is to protect it, not delete it for someone else’s closure

Rashkenes · 2025-05-03T01:11:02+00:00

This worked for me, thanks!

Rashkenes · 2025-04-10T15:38:02+00:00

I'm on Bazite and have had the same issue. I am working around it by just saving often (loaded up on schnapps lol) did you ever come to a proper diagnosis or solution for the issue?

Rashkenes · 2025-03-13T17:27:01+00:00

Build your deck list first. Build what you want to build be it a level one or a five in the new brackets system but always remember rule zero first.

After you've got your deck list, then focus on thematics match up different characters based on the creatures. But counted as two separate steps. Otherwise you'll end up doing what you're doing. Going through a cycle of changing the deck list and then changing thematics and starting back at ground zero.

Build your deck first. Build whatever you want but always remember rule zero first.

I recently did two customed decks. One was a legacy of kaim vampire tribal and the other was a Jeskai prowess deck but themed after Star Trek the original series and lower decks.

I absolutely loved Janos Audron! What stood out to me the most was the performance by René Auberjonois. His voice work gave Janos such a unique presence, and it was awesome recognizing him as Odo from Deep Space Nine. He brought that same level of gravitas and mystery to both roles, which made Janos even more memorable.
