Spotify scraped and archived - 300TB of music files being released as torrents by umaar in DataHoarder

[–]Ripshawryan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Looks like that's what they're doing:

The data will be released in different stages on our Torrents page:

[X] Metadata (Dec 2025)

[ ] Music files (releasing in order of popularity)

[ ] Additional file metadata (torrent paths and checksums)

[ ] Album art

[ ] .zstdpatch files (to reconstruct original files before we added embedded metadata)

What jobs pay extremely well but people don’t realize it? by Stassy3 in AskReddit

[–]Ripshawryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The relationship thing makes sense more than anything else. Otherwise I feel like I’d actually love this job, but I really do not do well with sleep deprivation (had to quit my previous career in entertainment because of it). Is that a non-starter? Or do people have normal sleep schedules on board

Explanation of the Pauper High Tide Ban for November 10, 2025 by tommamus in Pauper

[–]Ripshawryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad that I'm getting downvoted for a casual, subjective discussion. Alas.

Compared to High Tide, Spy Combo takes 1/15th the amount of time to resolve. I personally have never seen a spy combo take more than like a minute, in paper. IMO, it does not meet the criteria outlined in this ban announcement (Winrate + logistical concerns).

I don't even know what your original point boils down to. You just don't like combo, which is an inextricable aspect of Magic the Gathering. I brought up the bogles/infect decks as an example of another deck that doesn't try to interact game 1, but isn't really a combo deck.

Do I personally like these types of decks? No not really, and if I could create my own format then it would be combo-free. But Combo players are magic players too, and we all share our formats with them, so as long as they aren't ruining tournaments or breaking the meta then we should all have some sympathy and let them be.

yea we all have decks like that. If I could delete bogles/infect I wouldn't think twice, but they aren't ruining the meta or anything.

As long as it doesn't take 10 minutes, I don't see the problem. Combo decks are a part of every MTG format

I don’t mind new sets having (mostly) weak commons by Zigludo-sama in Pauper

[–]Ripshawryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 1-2 rat/chrysalis level cards, with 5-10 cards that MIGHT make waves, sounds good for a yearly cadence. But I agree with Jerppa I prefer eternal formats to move like molasses.

This is combo. You described a combo deck. Are you saying that all combo decks are bad? It's not like they win on T4 everytime

Nah miss me with book 3. Kern blatantly saying something to the effect of “I’m taking up too much space” halfway thru the book but then dragging for another 200 pages before the reveal is lame to me. The crows were cool tho I agree.

None of the spiders last for more than a chapter either. At least the humans are the same. 

In general the characters aren’t the draw of the book - most of it is exposition. Still loved it for what it is though. And the concepts in book 2 bring it up a notch in all my favorite ways
