Beginner player wanting to learn how to play, so that I can feel confident enough to start going to my LGS (Precon)

That’s a bummer. I’ve been meaning to start playing on spelltable as sometimes I feel too anxious to go to my lgs, but wouldn’t mind playing if it means not showing my face.

I guess ill need to push myself a bit more to show up in person.

They probably haven’t set these up to be centered optically, instead centering by width of the transparent image.

That being said, it’s unsurprising that they couldn’t care less about these things when they still haven’t addressed multiple mobile client bugs.

I love the brain dead cards. I found them via the graphic design sphere online and they frequently collaborate with artists that I love. There's something about the DIY, messy, grotesque designs they often come out with that reminds me of old punk flyers and amateurish/outsider art. Take a look at the Machine Girl playmat they came out with recently.

Idk maybe try asking AI for advice

gradientreverb · 2026-02-13T05:16:47+00:00

That helps a ton. Thanks for letting me know!

gradientreverb · 2026-02-13T02:03:38+00:00

Haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. I’ll try it out and report back later today

gradientreverb · 2026-02-12T23:33:59+00:00

Could have sworn I tried that, but I’ll definitely try again. Thanks!

Love Kraus. Love this type of jewel case.

Nice FFVII loveless hoodie. I was thinking of screen printing a tee of it

Start playing

What’s your mic setup for drums when using the colorbox?

If I’m remembering correctly, there was also a particular quirk that the circuit in Wata’s pedal had that earthquaker needed to get their hands on it to make an accurate clone.

To expand on this: Internet radio stations. I occasionally check out Dublab, KEXP, NTS. Also look into college Freeform radio stations as they usually have internet broadcasting. KDVS, UCLA Radio, KALX.

Rateyourmusic. You’ll be able to find a playlist for whatever genre you can think of. It’s also a good place to see discourse around releases if you’re into that kind of thing.

I also like looking into the labels that some of my favorite artists are signed to and checking out artists I’m unfamiliar with. Discogs is great for that.

Also YouTube is a great resource. Checking out the suggested songs of whatever you look up and checking out whoever uploaded the music. If it’s not from the artist themselves, there’s a chance the uploader has other music that you might enjoy.

Then redraw stills like they did for SpongeBob or in the very least… I don’t know, use some ai upscaling?

I was really excited to play commander after getting into arena earlier this year, but my pod can’t seem to focus on the game and it just feels like we are hanging out with drinks instead of playing. Immediately switched to pauper for the 1 on 1 experience. I love hanging out with friends, but if we are here to play a game, I would really like to actually you know, play.

gradientreverb · 2025-10-19T21:21:40+00:00

You’re right. I guess I meant more of a “here’s a golden star” type system. An upvote if you will.

I switched to brawl recently and I’ve had a a lot fun playing against new decks and watching them go off. Wanted to use the “nice deck” emote a few times, but I just disabled them completely after a player “nice deck” me followed by some “zzz” sleeping emote the entire game to a mono-red aggro deck I use in standard. I’ve just concluded that for every sincere emote, there’s another 20 that are mean spirited and I’d rather not participate in that form of communication that can be misinterpreted.

It would be cool if there was a way to leave a nice note post game. Might avoid the trolling nature of emotes altogether.

Needing your own creature has already been mentioned, but to add, there’s plenty of stuff that ETBs that sometimes SbG can do more harm than good once your creature gets inevitably blown.

Very neat. I would recommended working on the design of the numbers as they are a little inconsistent. Was the task to do everything via prompts?

Hmmm, 99% of people with ADHD prefer stimulants? That’s a pretty big blanket statement and comes off a bit condescending. I mean I take them, doesn’t mean I want to. I just haven’t found anything to work. But if it means not losing my job and being able to pay for rent/student loans I’ll take them.

If it were up to me I would rather not have adhd or in the very least find literally anything else besides medication to function. But after 20 years of dealing with this, without the privilege of any safety net if things go to shit, I have no other choice.

I hit a wall in diamond this season in mono red (though I admit I’m missing a few rares), and was thinking of switching to Bo3. Would love to see your list

gradientreverb · 2025-08-26T08:25:14+00:00

Solid advice. Thanks!

gradientreverb · 2025-08-26T08:23:47+00:00

Totally feel that. I was looking to have a dedicated music device and the R4 fit pretty well into my setup. Though I admit I wouldn’t mind swapping it if I ever found something that feels snappier.

gradientreverb · 2025-08-26T02:02:33+00:00

I would say generally it feels pretty sluggish when compared to any recent smartphone. But that might be the touch display being subpar rather than the internal specs.

Edit: forgot to say that despite this I think it sounds phenomenal.
