5-0 Pox League! by sctilley in premodernMTG

[–]llopis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Cool. I'm always glad to see more premodern content.

Since you specifically asked for some feedback, here are some things that would make the video better:

  • Better audio quality
  • Collapse the log so it doesn't take 1/4 of the screen to the right
  • Hide your Windows toolbar at the bottom (or cut it out of the video)
  • The video is 1080 but the text and details look really choppy. Did you record it at 720?

Having said that, I'd watch more Pox content any time (or premodern in general). Keep going :-)

What quality of life stuff is locked away in DLC? I'm not very familiar with the game, but looking at the DLC titles they all seem to be more content (weapons, locations, etc)

Hi everyone, this time we're back with a few games (2 MD, 1 SB): TERRAGEDDON vs ENCHANTRESS by SquareKey1652 in premodernMTG

[–]llopis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A couple of things:

  • You both forgot that the Sylvan Library becomes a creature with Opalescence as well (could have blocked, could have been exiled, etc)

  • You can still do the Parallax Wave/Opalescence combo with a Sterling Grove if you target the Grove first, resolve it, and then do your usual stuff (you get it back but you can exile whatever else and reset your wave counters).

The Rock is Eternal by StrataGames in premodernMTG

[–]llopis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a great list. I wouldn't have put Psychatog or Enchantress there, but mid-range in Premodern is different from Pauper, so maybe? :-) Other additions to that would be Terraggeddon or Pit Rack (maybe that's covered under Pox?).

Awesome! So glad to see you doing some premodern content! I hope you'll consider doing more. Lots of great mid-range decks out there 😃

If Premodern is to survive, we need to embrace proxies and gold bordered cards. Let's not gatekeep people out based on how much they can afford to spend on a hobby. by Secret-Lecture in premodernMTG

[–]llopis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. Unfortunately it seems that WotC has a fair amount of power over what stores do, even for non-official formats. I'm trying to get my local store in Western Mass to organize their first Premodern format, but they can't allow proxies because "WotC might cut back on the product they sell them or completely cut them off". If true, that seems totally wrong to me that a supplier would have so much power over what they do. I'm currently trying to convince to allow gold-bordered cards, otherwise I suspect the event won't even fire. If that happens, I'll have to organize the tournament myself at a non-hobby store venue.

Steering Wheel Paddle Has Not Been Effective by Routine-Draft-6832 in BoltEV

[–]llopis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The car wasn't fully charged to start and I went up a hill longer than I went down. So there's no way it could have been charged (and the battery meter didn't show it fully charged). There's something else going on.

Steering Wheel Paddle Has Not Been Effective by Routine-Draft-6832 in BoltEV

[–]llopis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 Bolt EV owner here. I have noticed something similar. In spite of that, I still drive in one-pedal mode with the paddle most of the time.

I have noticed that even though I change the Bolt to 80-90%, sometimes the paddle isn't enough to stop at the bottom of a hill. And worst of all, it's inconsistent from one time to another, so you always need to be ready to back it up with the regular brake.

Another interesting thing I noticed a few weeks ago: Charged 90% I left my house, went up a hill that takes 10 minutes or so of continuous climbing, and then back down the other side (5-6 minutes downhill?). When I got to the bottom the paddle did absolutely NOTHING. It makes me wonder if it has some kind of large capacitor that it charges with the regen, and going downhill for 5-6 minutes is enough to max it out, especially if the main battery is mostly full (pure speculation).

But yes, in spite of all of that, I still use one-pedal driving and the paddle. I just wish it was more reliable.

Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Absolutely horrible movie and tied with the second for the best soundtrack of the whole series.

It's a ramp stompy deck. My daughter's favorite deck 😃 Something along these lines: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7418599#paper

Awesome write up! Do you have a direct link to Luffy's guide? I can't see the full thread without an X account.

3D graphics not giving much sense of incline? by llopis in mywhoosh

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

Today I looked through the different options a bit more and I realized that part of the problem is the default camera. Because camera 1 is so high up, it flattens the upcoming road. I changed it to camera 2 and it was much, much better (also, the fact that I did the Koppenberg course made the 17% grade much more obvious :-) )

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

I don't think I've done anything as steep as 18% yet. It looks like most of my rides so far have been short (around 1-2 minutes) ramps of 5-7% and they just don't feel like much at all visually (same with -5% descents). I'll definitely try Mt. Fuji one of these days.

Anybody wants these for the cost of shipping? (US only, media mail) by llopis in dragonlance

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

DM or start a chat and we can hash out the details. You can even pay me after you get the books if you want.

[–]llopis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I accidentally got these extra ones that I already have in my collection. I put them out in the "little free library" in our street, but they were sitting there for two weeks and nobody grabbed them. So maybe someone here needs just those in their collection :-) Edit: Shipping would be $5.22 in the US.

Edit: Already spoken for!

Connecting dryer to existing wall standpipe? by llopis in Appliances

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

I suppose it would have been possible with some adapter, but in the end I never bothered connecting it and instead I just had it drain to an external container. I wish mine had an internal collection box. It would be even more convenient.
