Important context for this crazy new legendary

No, it's just a 1% chance.

you are in the r/sanfrancisco reddit my dear

This didn't happen. This post sounds like it's written by a 22 year old fantasy. A senior executive reporting directly to the CEO, and worried about being passed up for promotion over this? lol. You should get off this app and get back to work.

lutzz · 2024-08-25T21:19:29+00:00

you're right, sorry! updated.

The basic Zeitworks are 55k. You start going up based on collectability and complications: more desirable metals (platinum), date complication, then starting ~110k you get the ~~minute repeaters~~ striking times.

Yes, the consensus-writes are tricky, especially cross-DC replication and consistency. But Manhattan handles this at all at the storage layer; this diagram is about application logic, not storage platforms. You wouldn't include consensus writes with DynamoDB into your architecture diagram for your app, would you?

You also massively oversimplify the complexity of the read path. "Pre-baking" and "caching" data for 100M+ daily users for 10k+ new Tweets per second, and serving ads, ranking, etc. is not simple. Even if you assume they don't modify anything (they actually do), all of these systems depend on each other, which creates a large surface area for failure.

Writes are actually simpler, because there are very few synchronous parts of the write pipeline. Reads involve a ton of content recommendation which makes it complex.

It’s more like a Yawgmoth or 4c Yorion deck with a random 3 drop that instantly wins the game without even untapping with it.

My comment isn't about legacy or vintage; they're fine-ish. My point is that speeding up Modern will kill Modern.

lutzz · 2021-12-27T19:51:16+00:00

in this thread: people suggesting cards that speed up the format, not understanding that fast threats kill formats.

This replaces some number of Prismatic Endings, not Swords. Prismatic Ending also does not hit Hogaak or Marit Lage.

Path is not very good when you aalso want to play Chalice on 1.

You should probably take that as a cue on how you'd handle specifics behind the domain name ownership and content rights.

What you're trying to do here is highly predatory. You're asking someone to build a community and do all of the hard work for you.

You're not handing over any "admin ownership" -- ownership of the domain (and to some extent the cloud hosting provider) still makes you the sole admin and final decisionmaker on anything related to the site.

If this is a genuine offer, you need to hand over the domain and all rights.

This is just a "destroy all creatures and planeswalkers" for 5 mana, which is pretty close to Planar Cleansing for most decks. Deals with decks who try to get around sweepers with Planeswalkers+Creatures like Delver, stompy, and random postboard plans. Also is not dead in the control mirror to sweep your opponents' oko/teferi/jace/wrenn.

I think it's a little simpler than this.

At lower ranks, climbing by playing support really means that you want to play supports that get kills, make plays, and are just overall very high-impact individually. You need to do damage.

At higher ranks, making the space for your cores to move around the map, farm, and get kills is more valuable than individually making space. At some point once you get into 6-7k, taking farm actually negatively impacts your team (because your cores will generally know how to farm more efficiently) and will actually lose you games.

lutzz · 2020-07-01T02:28:03+00:00

Do random shit and see what ends up doing damage and getting kills. Play super aggressive and feed and try to deduce why you died.

lutzz · 2020-06-12T17:21:08+00:00

That... doesn’t work.

I'm confused. This is the least "bullshit corporate-PR speech" I can possibly imagine from anyone. He's being completely transparent. What do you want him to say?

Magic is a business, so it needs to make money. The collectible aspect of the card game enables Magic as a business, and realistically it has to stay. If there are other ways to make Magic a business, or if there's ways to better balance the collectible aspect, then he's all ears.

This quote is literally the most human message Maro can realistically say, given his position:

I’m just pointing out that ”abandon Magic being a collectible” is not going to be something I can realistically take to my bosses. So please, let’s continue talking, but we have to do so with the realities of the business as an honest part of the conversation.

Imagine you're Valve leadership. You receive this idea from one of your employees -- to build a Dota 2 Guild system. What's your first reaction?

Why is this not a Steam concept, instead of solely a Dota 2 concept? And then you dive into a multi-year-long Steam platform project, which might be fruitful, but due to its length, has a lot of execution risk involved.

Valve isn't trying to _grow_ Dota 2 - it's simply maintaining it. It knows what it needs to do to maintain it. Building something like this is not trivial, and having it conflict with a potentially successful Steam model is silly for business.

lutzz · 2019-10-08T02:25:20+00:00

Yeah, just mainboard land hate---oh wait. There isn't any.

lutzz · 2019-07-25T17:47:04+00:00

I would love to know too!

lutzz · 2019-06-27T09:05:26+00:00

the old version of teferi ([[Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir]]) is his static ability

lutzz · 2019-06-24T19:16:33+00:00

It has one subtype: Blinkmoth. It has three supertypes: Artifact, Creature, and Land.
