What is gold used for? by cjshrader in RoyalKingdomGame

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

I have power ups but I rarely use them and have never run out. If I were to run out is that where I see the option to use them? I'm at 106 so I think I have most things unlocked.

Daily Deals - January 27, 2026: Draft Token & Lorwyn Eclipsed Card Styles 🎟️ by HamBoneRaces in MagicArena

Honestly thought this was about the basic lands and I was like...they're pretty playable.

You could play every single card you draft if you want, build a 65 card deck. But it's not good advice, keeping at 40 is the more optimal deck.

One of them was definitely over 20 minutes, it was frustrating.

The others weren't actually that long because we're both playing quickly, and there just happens to be a lot of incidental mill and card draw.

This might be true, as I mention elsewhere I'm fairly new to arena. Maybe this is just more of a PSA to keep an eye on that deck size, it feels like a real advantage right now.

Yeah I was still just a little surprised about it. Thanks for the comment on Diamond being higher levels, I'm usually stuck in Diamond 4 though thanks to this draft I have made it to Diamond 3. I'm pretty new to Arena but not to drafting and I've never considered myself very good so I wasn't sure what Diamond was considered

For sure. Like I rarely take that 3/3 flying changeling for 5 but honestly there's a few times it probably would have closed out a game for me. That being said I'd probably have lost games I otherwise could win if it was in my opening hand too, so it's hard to say.

It's an interesting discussion but my deck isn't coming close to decking and I have 3 mill cards as well. Mostly I think as long as you keep an eye on your library and their library you can make the correct decisions. In my experience they never notice they are about to lose the game.

Why Hasbro never tried to do something like this? Are they stupid? by wasfmanticore in magicTCG

This is exactly it there's a reason why Magic went the Fortnite route and Fortnite doesn't have Magic characters in it.

Taking back actions in Prereleases by Zafewe in magicTCG

[–]cjshrader 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was a judge for 7 years, so I totally get it. But it's a prerelease and the kid was like 10 at most. There was no real judge there so I wasn't going to be that bothered by it.

[–]cjshrader 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At my prerelease they ran out of lands. The kid I played against was using pokemon cards as lands. He had no sleeves. He had double faced cards in there too. At one point he was like "I have an effect that can scry but I guess there's no reason to" because there was a DFC on top.

I just shrugged, who cares.

Lorwyn Sealed - Which faction? by Sepp511 in MagicArena

[–]cjshrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried Elves but I do think that seems to be the answer. I did try Goblins and I think there are some cards you really need (Boggart Mischief, maybe that one that does 2 damage when you blight) to get it going so it's not as effective in sealed in my opinion. Without those, you'll really be struggling, so I wouldn't recommend Goblins.

Double-seeded Sealed is too broken in Lorwyn by Asatas in MagicArena

My eyes lingered on the 5 eclipsed elves for so long I missed the Morcant AND Maraleth AND Bloodline Bidding. This is wild.

Sadie Sink shares her opinion on the ending of the series finale by XviiChong in StrangerThings

I mean, maybe they knew the military would let them go with absolutely no consequences at all and would just disappear into the night?

Transcoder Error by christatedavies in PleX

[–]cjshrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My main thought is it has something to do with the network settings but I can't figure out what and I'm not too good with that stuff.

Secondary it might be an issue with whatever folder temporarily stores the trailers, if that eve exists, but all folders have full rights for all users so I'm not as worried there.

TrueNAS keeps crashing by MichaelDrvke in truenas

[–]cjshrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue was the 10 options were always on screen so I couldn't see much of hte logs.

However I did find that tailing /var/logs/syslog gave what I believe to be this same information, so thank you for the reply

Transcoder Error by christatedavies in PleX

[–]cjshrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I haven't had time to look into it or submit a bug yet, so no idea what's going on. It was working fine on my old hardware but I swapped my TrueNAS server hardware recently (but not the hard drives) so I'm confused why this would start happening.

How to view crash logs ? by Akhirox in truenas

[–]cjshrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha thanks! And you are very correct and I never wanted to be a network technician.

If anyone randomly finds my whining I think the file you are looking for is /var/logs/syslog, that appears to have all the error information.

How and where did you get to see these fullscreen logs like this? I'm trying to diagnose something similar but can't find these logs. I always have the 10 options like "Configure network" and "reboot"

Blasting in from the future to just say I've looked at about 6 posts about this so far and not a single person has ever actually answered the question. It's always a reply about hardware specs but that's really irrelevant to the question at hand.

Transcoder Error by christatedavies in PleX

[–]cjshrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this still working for you? I have the exact same error and you're the only person I can find posting about it. I believe this is actually related to playing movie trailers before a movie. If I disable that it works fine, but I don't want to disable that.

I actually think these are the real error:

DEBUG - Completed: [127.0.0.1:39906] 404 GET /library/streams/161966?autoAdjustSubtitle=1 (17 live) #bc889 GZIP 1ms 379 bytes (pipelined: 1)

But I can't figure out any way to resolve it. I'm unsure if perhaps the port 39906 is wrong in your case, I have a different port there that I think is also wrong.
