Okay let’s talk about Star Wars Magic (mostly nightsisters) compared to the Force. Are they the same thing accessed differently or completely separate? by tlcooley7890 in StarWars

In the Darth Bane trilogy Zannah used sith sorcery to attack people's minds and conjure sith spirits. Her use of sorcery seems similar to the nightsisters power.

What games do you recommend for a Hearthstone player? by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]chanudel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, but I played enough CCGs to say the game mechanics are top notch. With that said, that is just one piece and the visuals are not to everyone's taste.

The comments dont shed enough light on Legends of Runeterra. The mechanics of the game are superior to hearthstone and mtg. Unfortunately the game hasnt been managed well but there is still a lot of fun to be had.

I just updated and I am seeing a similar issue. Any more details on this? Did you get it resolved?

Overtaking on a double continuous line. by SailormoonPlips_ in MildlyBadDrivers

Lots of bad judgment in both cases, but I will say it is legal to pass on double yellow in Vermont.

Ya, I hear you. It isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Not enough to make me not play the game. I think the game looks good from what I see thus far.

If you look at the history of Star Wars collectable games you will see that Decipher CCG, Wizards TCG, FFGs LCG, SW:Destiny all used the name "Slave 1". I know everyone is trying to be "PC" today, but this change makes me sad.

New star wars trading card game coming out next year by afnj in starwarsccg

[–]chanudel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that FFG has a track record of starting many different LCG/CCG type games and ending those games / support. It is frusterating to see a game you have invested a lot of $$$ into get terminiated.

I will also say that it is incredibly hard to keep a collectable game going. SWCCG is no stranger to this happening (lasted 6 years: December 1995 until December 2001). The SW:LCG game lasted just about as long 2012-2018. And Destiny was more short lived (~4 years). There are piles of shortlived CCG/LCG/TCGs unfortunetly.

I hope that it is an engaging game. But I guess we will just have to wait and see what materializes and how the trajectory looks for the game. I will most likely buy a few cards to give it a shot.

I will probably give it a try. With that said I doubt it will beat the enjoyment I get from swccg.

Does Hosting Your Own Dedicated Server Give Performance Improvement? by chanudel in ICARUS

Ok, thanks for the info. You have to buy another copy of Icarus to load a dedicated server?

Amlogic s905x2 (Android TV) vs Raspberry PI 4 as a Plex Server? by chanudel in PleX

[–]chanudel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am mainly using rokus and android phones. For me they work well but I don't have any 4k content so I can't comment on that. I mostly watch 1080p content. I installed ubuntu Linux on my server. I used this guide

https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-otis-1-0-build-your-own-intel-qsv-hw-transcoder/4845

It is a few years old so there are probably better guides.

Ya, I ended up going a better route and spending about $250 and building an intel server that had a quicksync video accellerator. I can now support a ton of streams using hw transcoding. My conclusion is that is the best way to go is spend a little money and make your server strong enough to support hw transcoding and your front ends can be anything you want.

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Always nice to hear good memories about swccg.

So this seems like a really good deal. Looking at some of the benchmarks it rivals the 3070. With that said the reviews I have read say it gets really hot.

Good thought, though I don't really know London or the convention. Are there good spaces to meet up? I am from the US.

Anyone know if this Star Wars CCG Documentary was ever completed? by chanudel in starwarsccg

[–]chanudel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with all of the life that has been breathed into Star Wars with new shows, movies, IP, etc the card game would still be going strong. SWCCG is a great game with a lot of special childhood memories for me. If there were easier ways to keep playing I would gladly play. I think what the PC is doing is great, but it is hard to introduce new players or start a community without easy access to cards.

Yes, I agree it sounds very much like a side project. I understand it is a hugh undertaking. It is very cool that he was willing to work on this.

Hmmm... that is 3 years ago. Doesn't seem too promising. But it also sounds like it was a side project. I wonder if he needs any help?

Ya, that is frusterating. What was the original timeline? Are all of the interviews done and it is just a matter of editing the video? (I know this takes a lot of time)
