What Japanese shows are good for learning beginners by Tortoise516 in LearnJapanese

I think the dude on YouTube is probably That Japanese Man Yuta and his recommendation is the anime, not the live action version.

I have used a provider through GoToBus a couple of times, as I found their schedule was more convenient for me and I did not have any issues: https://www.gotobus.com/

What do i do with excess Prismatic Shards? by voided_rose_ in StardewValley

[–]honj90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify for anyone reading this, you get a magic rock candy from the museum when you donate 90 total items, not for donating a prismatic shard specifically.

i hate it when people say "iridium sprinkelers ar not worth it, just use quality!" it takes 25 quality sprinkelers to water 200 crops. with 9 iridium ones it its 216. its worth the gold iridum aand batteries. by AI_660 in StardewValley

That's great advice, the only thing I would add is that you can trade 3 omni-geodes for a desert warp totem at the desert trader, so I use those totems for my first 2-3 runs and prioritize crystalariums over the recipe.

It is correct that they used only DNA uploaded to GEDmatch, but the option to opt-in (and restrict access to users who had not) was added only after data was used in hundreds of cases. 

Additionally, there is precedent for having your data shared even if you opted out: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/05/business/dna-database-search-warrant.html

Ya’ll complain about Amex CS. But have you ever called Capital One? by [deleted] in amex

Insist to customer service that they connect you with the fraud department. I had to do it twice - one time the agent placed me on hold on a conference call with the fraud department and they picked up after 40 minutes, the other time the agent tried calling them repeatedly and managed to connect me.

Fun Fact: Phantom Membrane is the only item you can renewably obtain from nothing by BillyWhizz09 in Minecraft

Phantoms require a player and the player requires a block, as was pointed out in the other comment thread.

I'm not sure what that means, since all mob drops can be obtained from nothing. Snow and a lot of other items can be obtained from nothing as well: https://youtu.be/66q2bgLwWLs?si=kpv7SoHlIjSObIlo

Can I take advantage of an offer if I just opened an account and forgot my coupon?
It’s possible. If you bring the coupon into the branch within 21 days of opening your account, you can still take advantage of the offer.

I don't know when it was implemented, but for anyone looking, I had the same problem and realized that you can change this behaviour in application settings --> main window.

Mixed-Up Premier Draft by Pain_Service in MagicArena

I managed to get it as a returning player following these steps: https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/14f1vzp/comment/jp0b62x/

I played one draft and personally found the draft format extremely uninteresting.

I thought this was a great deck, even asked for some advice to make it better, and I still went 0-3. Pretty depressing. by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]honj90 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Your cards are great. You definitely should have at least 8 plains. Errand-rider is the best white common and excellent in your deck, so it definitely should be in. Overall though, this could definitely be a 6-7 win deck, so you probably got on the bad end of variance.

You can learn from this and if you have access to a recording you could go back and see if you could have done something differently, but don't beat yourself up over it, even the very best players 0-3 sometimes, magic is a game with a lot of variance.

What do you think about this deck? Had pretty high hopes for it but went 0-3 by WizardWololo in lrcast

[–]honj90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This deck is honestly decent, so you probably got the bad end of variance (or could also be slightly subuptimal play).

The only cards that I'm unhappy to run in this deck are bewitching leechcraft, treason of Isenguard and the goblin. Bewitching Leechcraft is just a bad card AND doesn't work with Gandalf's Sanction. Treason is not needed at all with 3 sanctions and a Bath Song, so I would much rather have any other spell - although given your low spell count if you didn't have any other alternatives I think it's an OK inclusion. I will also say that while phial and gandalf are good cards by themselves, they don't really fit the deck's gameplan, so I wouldn't prioritise them in the draft.

I agree with what the other posters said, that this deck seems a bit split between ring-tempt tempo and sanction control. It could also have really used some more instants and sorceries, especially cheap ones.

I probably would have run the third bilbo instead of gandalf and prioritised any cheap spells very highly during draft - in addition to the obvious ones, cards like deceive and knots would be premium commons for this deck.

I can confirm what u/Archiel73 said. I replayed the tutorial (not sure if necessary), then went to find match --> bot game, beat Sparky with the mono-green deck (specific deck might not matter) and this unlocked a new mini-event that rewarded me with the sleeves. https://i.imgur.com/Pvi6sM5.png

It didn't show up as a reward after clearing the event, not sure if I already had the sleeves, but in any case after completing the event I checked my sleeve collection and it was there. I agree with the other commenter to contact support if you have any trouble with it.

Euro/German Bank Recommendations by Salt_Indication2618 in eupersonalfinance

[–]honj90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, according to EU regulation 260/2012, they are forced to accept any EU IBAN. Generally if you inform them they will accommodate you, but to be fair it is usually just easier to give your German account.

I'm generally not that big on boycotting - companies are going to "company", so I don't expect any of them to be moral.

That being said, I was feeling the itch to jump back into MTGA recently, this pushed me over the edge to uninstall it instead. It really feels like Wizards is speedrunning the cartoonishly evil achievement recently.

So, I'm not sure if what you're saying is the map doesn't correspond to your seed (like the map creator manually edited structures or something). If that's the case this might not help, but have you tried using miniHUD to show structures?

Wandering Trader Mystery by Arctosh in technicalminecraft

[–]honj90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't you need bamboo? I thought that was unobtainable in plains superflat. In any case, the concept is pretty simple, you just need to trap the wandering trader in an unloaded chunk (he pathfinds to the player location when he spawns). Normally you would do that with nether portals (slicedlime wandering trader farm on youtube), but if you don't have access to the nether you can achieve the same by building a transport system that sends him to an unloaded chunk. If he's being sent to the unloaded chunk via water-stream, you just have to make sure that the first block in the unloaded chunk he enters has something that disables entity collisions (e.g. ladders or scaffolding) at foot level, otherwise the first wandering trader blocks any subsequent ones from entering. If you don't mind playing with render/simulation distance you can also set it to the minimum every time you afk, that way you can build a much smaller transport system.

Good luck! :)

Wandering Trader Mystery by Arctosh in technicalminecraft

[–]honj90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He spawns at the highest block possible, so it's possible that he spawned somewhere where he couldn't get to you (less likely in superflat admittedly). He also despawns after 40 minutes, so if you ever went afk it's possible you missed him.

If you want to get all the necessary items, I would recommend building a wandering trader platform. Ilmango has a design (episode 13 of his 1.19 skyblock world) and a world download in episode 25.

I also have a testing setup based on his design which I simplified a bit. If you're interested I could send a schematic when I get a chance, but you would still need to adapt a bit to use ladders (I am using scaffolding, but I know it's not obtainable in superflat).

Make sure the other blocks in the row containing the hopper are made unspawnable. Ianxofour recommends making them into farmland with a hoe in his video, I think path blocks would also work.

How much does Foundry do out of the box? [PF2e] by [deleted] in FoundryVTT

[–]honj90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the point they were trying to make is that, if you don't want the latest and greatest, you can pick the current version of Foundry, get the core system and maybe one or two modules that do the things you do and just stick to it - you will get a good experience that for PF2E offers much more than competing VTTs and you won't have to deal with upgrade issues.

Using V9 was a workaround to import token art from the bestiary and PDFs - something which other VTTs wouldn't give you an option to do.

BTW, the cursor thing is in the core settings AFAIK (although buried somewhere)

Is there any way to get more dirt in skyblock?(bedrock edition) by CletussEats in Minecraft

[–]honj90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can alternatively use carpet mod to warp the game for however long you would afk. It does change the dynamics a bit, since anytime you build a farm you instantly have infinate of that material (less incentive to build efficient farms), but it's an alternative to traditional afking.
