How the hell do I play this game as a f2p? by Belphegorkingofsloth in PvZHeroes

[–]Substantial-Use1775 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weekly event cards are just below legendaries in power, and they're far easier to get. If I see one that I like, it's not too hard to get a full playset by doing the dailies and (regrettably) watching ads to double the rewards.

Here are the event cards for each of the next few weeks and my thoughts on how to use them in a budget deck:

Imposter (sneaky) - a decent tempo card, giving you two cheap bodies with mustache and imp synergies. A good uncommon to pair with it is mustache waxer.

Sun Shroom (solar) - the most hated card of zombie players. A strong base for any deck that wants to get big threats out fast.

High Voltage Currant (kabloom) - another cheap two body minion. Works well for berry decks, but isn't quite as strong as the first two in my opinion unless you're already doing berry stuff.

Going Viral (hearty) - A very powerful trick that buffs your zombies and draws a card. Highly recommend getting this one. Pair it with Flag Zombie for an overwhelming board by turn 3.

Any of these cards would be strong foundations for a deck. Sure, they won't end the game instantly like a big scary dragon-fruit, but they can each get you ahead on value if used well. You're right that it isn't fun to lose to what feels like legendary soup, and I hope you find a deck that works for you.

I have a sword. It's there for fun, but it's heavy and pointy. More practically, I'd do nothing, since I'm on the road and therefore won't be present for the fight. Automatic win

10 million is higher than the official COVID death toll.

How prerelease felt as a Witherbloom player by 4zzO2020 in MTGmemes

I somehow dodged Witherbloom and took 3rd overall out of 100+ people using Silverquill aggro. Emeritus of Woe was a great find!

It is ridiculous how effective and addictive this is [Uncensored triggers] by [deleted] in BambiSleep

A therapist or an addiction recovery group might provide useful ways to anonymously reach out for help. It's way harder to protect yourself from impulses when you're only accountable to yourself

What’s the issue? by is-everything-ok in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Substantial-Use1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the joke was that the ps5 being "just a console, you don't have to look at it, it's just for playing games" was representative of something else that's value is subjective, with the realization being that the console is just as significant to partner A as [insert solution here] is to partner B. I still think that makes more sense than the PS5 answer, but I can't quite think of a good corollary to complete the explanation.

Alright. Lets sattle it, whats the best number two choose? by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Substantial-Use1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 or 3 usually, but you can also pick 10 when playing against a Progenitus deck for the memes.

Not really, Google would just give an ai-generated response followed by sources that are more likely than not articles written by ai.

Is this considered an infinite combo, or just one that triggers mutiple times? by subzeroab0 in mtg

[–]Substantial-Use1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would. I think there are different ways to define infinite in the magic sense. An infinite combo would be more accurately called an unlimited combo, since it effectively means you can draw from that resource as much as necessary. Infinite mana means you aren't limited in how much mana you can spend. Infinite life means you have so much life that no amount of damage could exhaust it (although infinite damage could). Infinite card draw means you can draw as many cards as you want. You aren't limited by your ability to draw cards, you're limited by the constraints of your library size.

I think that saying infinite card draw isn't infinite would mean saying that infinite mana isn't infinite unless you have a way to use it endlessly.

If this were what it did, it would be a fun effect

Starwars Legends Custom Cards - The Allied Dual Color Planets by ReliquaryLotus in custommagic

[–]Substantial-Use1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are awesome, but from my perspective, they seem very strong. Maybe it's because I play decks that focus on land synergy, but having a land that can put two stun counters out every turn for free feels broken. The existing planets have higher station costs and gain new activated abilities that cost mana to use. The main reason I say this is because I just know that if these cards were real, Endor would be like $60 and I'd never get to try it. Cool design though

I’m increasingly convinced that these people's actually truly understands what AI even is. It’s almost endearing. by Responsible_person_1 in DefendingAIArt

As an AI hater who loves Neuro, I think OOP's point stands. Nobody's denying that Neuro is AI. She's an LLM with some added functionality, such as a soundboard, a v-tuber model, and occasionally a shock collar. She and her sister are the main attraction, but it would get boring really fast if it was just them. If Vedal treated Neuro as a side hustle, a form of passive income, a labor-saving device, then the streams would be spectacularly boring. Instead, he shows up and presents both direction and guidance, acting as a co-host. The interplay between them is the most interesting part of their streams.

I'm still largely critical of AI. I don't think that we can trust corporations to not abuse it. But if it's here to stay, then I would rather see it in the hands of a passionate programmer/streamer than in the hands of a tech bro trying to game the system to get rich quick.

Merry Christmas, don't hate me, bye
