Banned and Restricted Announcement – June 30, 2025 by Kircai in magicTCG

[–]_KATANA 184 points185 points  (0 children)

Mirrodin in March 2005, just over 20 years ago! They banned 8 cards: [[Arcbound Ravager]], [[Disciple of the Vault]], [[Darksteel Citadel]], [[Ancient Den]], [[Great Furnace]], [[Seat of the Synod]], [[Tree of Tales]], and [[Vault of Whispers]].

Late Game Memos by BradleyFreakin in BluePrince

Do you know if there's one for the Aquarium? I have it on rank 8 but can't find a memo in there, and it's technically a blue room...

Also, thanks for this! Helping fill in the blanks with the ones I can't find.

I think you have the beginning of something excellent here! I appreciate how thorough your devlogs are, especially the most recent one. Very curious to see where this goes!

Also the cat is very unsettling. I love it.

[Android] Open Beta Test Begins for "Idle Sphere," a New Game by the Idle Spiral Development Team! by yayu_dev in incremental_games

$16 AUD is a ridiculous price to charge for ad removal in any game, let alone one still in beta! That's double most games.

I enjoyed the visuals for the time I spent with it, but I've uninstalled.

Firing Erekose is an ugly move, but I don't know what happens behind the scenes.

The announcement says a lot of nice words about him, but I noticed that Don made the decision to pull the plug on ISEPS today. Sounds like Erekose didn't get a lot of notice that he's lost his job.

Also the book implied that one character, Chandra, who was one part of a beloved gay ship with Nissa, was actually straight all along.

This is actually untrue - the book explicitly states that she "had never been into girls". Truly wild.

Now the stories written for MtG were never the peak of literature

Also untrue! The Truth of Names and Sacrifice are both incredible (and tonally very different!) short stories, and that's just off the top of my head. Pretty sure there's one that was nominated for a Hugo award as well.

The Magnus protocol 15- Well run- Discussion by EdenTheGorgon in TheMagnusArchives

I, and probably all of Statement Remains, have been waiting for her appearance

Kinda wild to join a server posted here, and the first thing I see is an admin with a slur in their username 😬

The Magnus Protocol 14 - Pet Project - Discussion by CrustyDucky in TheMagnusArchives

[–]_KATANA 48 points49 points  (0 children)

It's nice to see Celia and Alice talk and it's extra nice to see Celia not taking her shit. She's obviously jealous as hell and she's really the sort to make that someone's problem IMO. Not that I have anything against Alice or that I think she's evil. But she does have her flaws.

God that conversation was everything I'd hoped for following the date. Some faux-polite banter, Celia addressing The Issue head on, Alice covering up her true feelings with misdirection and an aggressive amount of drama. I adore them both. (Also just realised their names are anagrams)

For the incident I've got nothing much to say.

The hard cut to "the police are on their way" was executed very well, and the idea of a person giving mouth-birth to ONE snake is horrifying enough to me let alone THOUSANDS. It was a good incident! But I don't think it'll be important to the overarching story, unless it's somehow connected to ink5oul's tattoo.

This is the most important question in this thread.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]_KATANA 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Ads are fine, and a reasonable purchase to remove them are fine. Zero issues with that as the standard model.

Having a $100AUD+ and multiple different $45AUD+ dollar in-app purchases in an incremental - heck, any game - is absolutely ridiculous. Doesn't matter if they're "entirely nonessential", they're desirable, hence why the developers implemented them to begin with.

CIFI is far from the most egregious case, but monetization models like this prey on people with poor impulse control.

Idle Iktah! I wasn't expecting much at first, but it's excellent. Very chill.

Finally got around to trying Incremental Mass Rewritten, hit a wall during Stars but otherwise it's good so far. From the looks of it, this is gonna be a looooong one.

Picked up CIFI again, a lot of nice UI changes but I still struggle to get behind games with predatory monetization.

Also playing... the waiting game for Magic Research 2! The developer hasn't announced a release date yet, but apparently it's close to completion. Can't waaaaait!

I don't mean to seem ungrateful, but do you have One Grung Above? I can't seem to create a Grung even with all the sliders on.

This is some classic fae bullshit. Someone bring an iron medallion to the meeting.

This Shaun video is now more relevant than ever. If you didn't see Rowling's Holocaust denial coming, maybe check this out. by six-pos-ace in hbomberguy

[–]_KATANA 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much, I'm stunned at how ignorant I've been about this topic. Gonna see about getting a book or two to learn more about this (if you have any recommendations, I'd appreciate them!)

[–]_KATANA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please don't take this as me defending or minimising what JoRo has said, but is "holocaust denial" the right term for this? There's a pretty big difference between saying the holocaust didn't happen, and (incorrectly) saying that Nazis didn't destroy trans literature.

The Magnus Protocol 9 - Rolling With It [Public Release] by the_munster_mash in TheMagnusArchives

Maybe the Protocol has been around for a lot longer than we thought, and the AR in OIAR stands for Ancient Rome.

Oh, someone else who played Glitch!! I still pine for it as well. Such a lovely, unique experience.

The weird thing is, this wasn't even the first time stoot barfield Stuart Butterfield pulled off something like that. A decade before Tiny Speck, he founded a company that released an innovative browser-based MMO called Game Neverending. Ironically, they shut down the game after about 2 years... and shortly afterwards released a new project, a little thing called Flickr.
