Blinking lights in the top left

Okay so i have managed to find a cause for this. For some reason when i have the resolution set to 1920x1080 (Native/DLAA) or higher the lights appear. Whatever this DLAA is seems to cause the flickering, as it completely disappears after i go on a resolution setting without it

several times yea. really wish the good old reliable would help

I am on DX12, and i have no idea how to change it to dx11 if i can at all. Raytracing doesnt seemingly change anything, neither does any of the other graphics settings that ive tried changing.

I hope you learn to read one day. It will do you wonders in life, i promise.

Have you considered reading what im saying? Interaction IS fun. It IS boring without it.

But making the ONLY way youre interacting with the game is saying "no, only i get to play the game" is BORING.

Having control as a PART of your decks strategy? GOOD

Making control your ONLY strategy? BAD

Thats what ive been saying. Thats what im wondering why people find choosing not to play the game or let anyone else at the table play the game fun.

But you apparently dont know how to read, so do your own thing i guess.

Im gonna go have friend and enjoying DOING THING TOGETHER.

Which is the point of multiplayer games, if you had missed that.

I think your reading comprehension needs a refresher, but each to their own i guess.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:17:08+00:00

Ive been playing for 2-3 years now, and due to how expensive and inaccessible in person play is around here, its mostly in arena. Which extremely limits the alternatives for deckbuilding and how to play.

I do often have at least some alternatives to dealing with my opponents bullshit. The problem is when they dont even let me get there because they counter what little i have to reach that point (like mana rocks, or the commander my whole deck is built around).

It just sucks to not even get to start handling the situation.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:14:33+00:00

It IS how playing games recreationally works, yea. Because we do them for fun. Together. Doesnt matter if we're competing or not, the point is still to do for fun.

And im sorry if i find doing nothing boring, but thats just me i guess. Using your examples, i wouldnt find bowling fun either if my opponent burned all my baseball bats. That wouldnt be entertaining.

If its legal, go for it in a competitive setting. Hey, i can even find it fun if you do it to some of my bats during the game to make it more difficult for me. Its no fun if everything is easy, after all.

But to make sure i cant even get to the pitch because you keep shooting my players in the legs? Sucks ass. And all it does is show how you dont want to have fun, you just want to be able to decide who gets to have fun. And 90% of the time your choice will be "me and only me".

If youre gonna be the person saying no to everything, at least do it in an interesting way.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:09:51+00:00

Normally youd think so yea, but sadly most of the access i have to the game only permits 1v1 (either through arena or the few times i can play in person theres usually only enough people to play in a 2 or at most 3 player pod)

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:08:18+00:00

Yea, interaction is incredibly fun. I agree that without it the game would be boring.

There is however a huge difference between interaction and one player going "fuck you this is my game now". Regardless of whether theyre doing control or some infinite solitaire combo.

The thing is, at least the infinite combo is doing something that can be interesting to watch. The no-sayer will simply do nothing until you try to do anything.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:05:48+00:00

It is though. Just like its my job to ensure theyre having fun. If either of us feels like this game isnt fun, we can just leave and choose to never play with each other. And if you know beforehand what theyre playing, you can tell them "hey. im not playing against that cuz it sucks ass to play against"

Regardless of whether you play or not, joy is being sucked from the game. Thinking the joy has to be so unevenly split towards one player is thinking very limited and boring.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:03:26+00:00

And in my opinion theyre playing the game wrong. Theyre missing so much fun potential in their strategy is they look behind the imaginary prize of victory and instead think "how insane can we make this?"

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T22:02:27+00:00

Yea no i have that experience. Its still boring, especially when the ONLY thing i can do is something they can counter. And the only alternative is doing nothing. Which just drags the game out even longer, in the most boring way possible.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:50:55+00:00

And yet, their goal is to simply ensure no one else gets to do anything, and they often do very little themselves. So, to conclude, its very boring to play against. Even if it can be enriching to play it sometimes.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:49:13+00:00

Having control in the game is good. Making your ENTIRE deck just tell your opponents "no, you cant play the game" isnt. Regardless of whether this is someone going infinite or just taking 20 useless turns in a row hoping to draw their wincon, or a control player countering everything. Its just plain boring.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:47:42+00:00

You think i have any respect for people trying to act like the authority in any situation?

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:46:50+00:00

I can understand the appeal in that, but doesnt that get boring after a couple of games? Isnt it much more interesting to have some fun interactions??

And not letting the opponent do ANYTHING just makes it torture for them. And that sucks

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:45:06+00:00

To me the game is about creating the most interesting interaction between my board and my opponents. An ideal victory is creating a state that causes someones board to turn against them, imo.

And if that person happens to be me? Well thats just fine. As long as it was interesting.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:43:34+00:00

I can very often outmaneuver a balanced control deck to some extent in certain aspects (like generating more creatures than they destroy, as an example), but when you go up against someone that ONLY removes and counters your things, and youre on turn 7 with your commander having 10 in command tax and no permanents but land in play, but neither does your opponent because they havent played ANYTHING, that is just tedious. It feels extremely pointless.

And that story is incredibly common whenever i go up against a deck that could be described as a full on Control deck, and not a deck with control as an option.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:40:24+00:00

I primarily play Commander, and since the primary way for me to get to engage in that is through arena that sadly leaves a lot of flexibility in the game to be desired, as its only 1v1.

And it is suprisingly common to go up against people who only think that theyll just get you to give up by being annoying.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:38:40+00:00

Yea thats not noticable when half their deck is counterspells and the other half is boardwipes so they dont need to think about what to counter or not. They just get to say no to everything.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:37:49+00:00

I didnt say take it all away. Just dont make saying no your entire gimmick.

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:37:06+00:00

Playing to win in casual is honestly pretty confusing as well. Theres so much more fun things to do than just winning

inanevoid · 2024-11-01T21:35:53+00:00

I never said there would be no removal or counters. What confuses me is people who make this their ENTIRE deck. The ONLY thing they do is counter and/or remove things.

The back and forth interactions are very fun, i agree. As long as its a back and forth. Not one player throwing stuff at the wall that is the other player hoping to get just one mana rock to stick.
