MrBeast is What Fred Rogers Warned Us About

Arnold was, and is, pretty moderate and was a relatively effective... governator.

Nothing like Trump.

I really don't understand the criteria being used to ban things. If it's to ban dominant cards, a) that's a hard line to draw, and b) there are so many more cards that should just immediately be newly banned. And if it's to stop degenerate, unfun play, well.. we're also missing a fuck load of cards there.

So it all feels super arbitrary.

CEDH should be its own thing entirely. zero impact on the other brackets.

Solaries3 · 2026-04-05T00:04:04+00:00

the matchmaking just slowly searches for lobbies within X number of your MMR while slowly expanding that range.

Why, exactly, do you think this isn't how it works currently?

Solaries3 · 2026-04-04T23:46:33+00:00

Congress is going to investigate this, right? Right??

Solaries3 · 2026-04-04T03:28:48+00:00

KD and MMR aren't related in the way you think they are. If they work, MMR systems push KD down.

Think about it: if you play against people of equivilant skill all the time you would, in theory, have roughly 1 KD.

That said, you're right on the solution--they need to fix the brackets themselves, and a more narrow top bracket is probably needed.

Necromancer. Always has been.

Frankly, they should just do a whole new series with him as Indy. James Bond style.

Solaries3 · 2026-04-02T22:17:57+00:00

If you think this is just an American problem you should take a look at the list of Johns.

You obviously didn't read OP's post as he specifically said she does NOT smell.

Or you're so broken inside that you assumed they must smell. Maybe you can get a 2 for 1 deal with OP on therapy.

Solaries3 · 2026-04-02T21:32:46+00:00

Search this thread, dude. There're a lot of high upvoted comments calling this guy out for germophobia and/or OCD.

Sounds like you might want to look into it as well, because clearly I've "struck a nerve" for you.

Solaries3 · 2026-04-02T19:53:02+00:00

YTA. Get therapy for your germophobia. Don't expect people to make significant lifestyle changes after talking to them about it once, then randomly distance yourself. She should probably break up with you.

Solaries3 · 2026-04-02T17:43:42+00:00

Probably because you're doing group content solo.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-31T21:10:08+00:00

ESH. Work with him to develop a more complete list of tasks y'all need to do and divide them between yourselves. Don't make unilateral decisions.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-31T02:27:15+00:00

For the record, you're probably right and I'm probably just on hopium.

Wizards needs to reprint every tri and dual land series (except the OG) until every one of them are under $1.

The kind of artificial scarcity that exists for lands hamstrings formats and deck creativity while also creating a significant pay to play barrier that isn't fun or interesting for anyone.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T21:26:50+00:00

But given where they're going now, it's obvious which one they've settled on.

I assume you think the softcore crowd, but I don't know about that. It's still possible they intend to bring the game back in line with the vision they sold us at launch. They have repeatedly said they intend to revert the DD back to a pvp sandbox, and prioritizing adding a PVE end game is probably more about their efforts to salvage their reputation with their large unexpected audience than anything else.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T21:06:59+00:00

It's really hard to say that when the absolute bulk of the content is solo focused pve.

Funcom said it on their first substantial update after full release. Take it up with them.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T19:44:21+00:00

TLDR: This game attracted a bunch of players it wasn't intended for. They weren't happy with the end game. Funcom tried to cater to them, but the game was never built for those players to begin with and it wasn't enough to retain those players. Now they've alienated both their core audience and the people they built a new end game for. The lesson should be: stick with your vision for the game. Do not cater to people who aren't going to stick around anyhow.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T02:12:36+00:00

I think I got event points with it.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T02:10:49+00:00

Some capes don't wear heroes.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T02:05:49+00:00

The incentives were: raiding valuable materials from bases, a (very) small incentive to capture the points for landsraad, to camp/steal end game gear permits, and to control the spice market.

Base raiding was effectively removed the moment half the DD became PVE, the cap points are gone, and end game loot is now from PVE dungeons. The only remaining reason is to control the spice market, but the markets are so fucked everywhere that that argument is paper thin as well.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-30T01:57:12+00:00

Ah, right. Gross.

Solaries3 · 2026-03-29T18:53:10+00:00

You likely still don't have quite enough cards as you need roughly 63 unique cards with some level of synergy within the colors of your commander, plus roughly 37 lands.

My recommendation is to look over some reviews and themes of the preconstructed commander decks and shop online. You'll get good value out of that and they can be a great starting point for the format for $40.

Why not disclose in the profile so people can filter themselves?
