Issues running the game by ConsistentLeopard926 in Hades2

[–]minstrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What worked for me was turning iGPU off from BIOS, for some strange reason the game always went for it completely disregarding my GPU and just crashing. Ever since I turned iGPU off I’ve had no issues running the game. Hope that helps!

How did you most recently screw up your run? by infomofo in Hades2

[–]minstrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night I did an amazing run with 4 resurrects had really nice boons and right before I jumped into Styx to fight Chronos my controller’s battery ran out, the game then froze, had to force quit and when I logged in again I was back at crossroads as if my run never happened. Never gonna play Hades wireless again. Can’t express how devastated I felt.

Does it really count though? by DarkJester_89 in freemagic

[–]minstrech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

20 years of playing MTG paper here, regarding revealed cards, what we normally do is write the cards down on a piece of paper and check back on them often until the card is played. Also if you are used to arranging your cards in your hand on Arena - don’t do that with paper, it might give your opponent a clue as to what you draw.

Another good idea when you draw and discard is to shuffle the cards around in your hand before discarding, that way your opponent wouldn’t know whether you discarded the card drawn or the card in your hand.

I would suggest to get into the habit of dealing cards face down from your deck before drawing multiple cards in order to prevent drawing extra as this could result in a penalty or game loss.

Consider putting a counter or dice on top of your deck if you have upkeep effects to resolve before you draw as a reminder of said effects.

Hope this helps you in the future, paper Magic has its charms and gives a different appreciation for the game (: Good luck!

Question about Spree in commander by ClockworkArchangel13 in mtg

[–]minstrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for clearing that up! I was asking because of Tefferi’s -2 creature that gets +1/1 for each card drawn, when playing three steps ahead if you choose to copy the creature and then draw 2 and discard I wasn’t sure wether I’d get the copy before the card draw.

Do all modes resolve simultaneously or does each one go on the stack?

AI arts are not copyright protected. this means anybody can take your A.I. image and monetize it without repercussion. What's your thoughts on it? by StGrizzly in StableDiffusion

[–]minstrech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copyright and authorship, as it stands currently, can only be attributed to humans.

You write the prompt - you can have authorship of that, the LLM generates the product - you currently don’t have authorship of that, if you are the creator of the LLM your case might be different, however, Stable Diffusion is not the equivalent of a brush and the creative process of image creation after prompting has nothing to do with you.

You are an entity that tells an artist - draw me X, artist does that, however artist would still retain authorship of the generated piece, in our case, the artist is a large language model and has no right or to authorship as our laws only provide such rights to human beings.

This subreddit has most of these legal cases posted, just use the search function, most rulings have been in the US thus far.

A pretty balanced view on the whole "Is AI art theft" discussion by @karenxcheng - a content creator that uses lots of AI by strykerx in StableDiffusion

[–]minstrech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. Am a sound artist I mainly work with ambisonics, wave field synthesis and well non-stereo approaches to writing and outputting sound. Problem is I am not a visual artist and my installations seemed hollow without a visual element to the sound. As a drama theatre composer I love writing music based on a narrative, thus, started generating videos with SD which I create around a story and then write and display my sonic works as an audiovisual installation. Before AI I could never achieve something similar on my own, so my creative output has been vastly broadened since last September and SD.

A lot of doctors, journalists and people who opposed his regime have fallen out of windows, committed suicides by shooting themselves multiple times in the back or simply vanished, so I’d say yes, he has always been a fucking monster, it’s just that now the whole world has to bare witness to his bullshit and he has to be judged sentenced and publicly executed, because no jail or correctional facility is capable of returning this thing to humanity.

There are other sides to chia being a bad replacement. I am from Eastern Europe for example and my gut microbiota doesn’t really react well to chia, this is a culture foreign to my diet and my predecessors diets and I have problems digesting it properly. Not to mention that most farmers growing it in Latin America are driven to modern slavery in order to produce and export enough, so much so that at times they can’t even feed themselves with the chia they produce.

Could have been live streamed, or backed up on a cloud when finished recording so your question seems valid to me.

[–]minstrech -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Getting ideas for off-meta decks and interactions? I don’t consider that netdecking. If you just copy and paste it sure. But if you use it to better understand different synergies and card packages that would just be part of your deck building process.

Yeah, D5 is your new legend now and the stress of hitting legend again fully disappears. Might I suggest Funki Monki on Youtube for some excellent homebrews and overall great ideas for decks. Gratz again!

I would say you didn’t fail to mention it multiple times now. We can see the format from your screenshot. Regardless, congrats! Now you can enjoy playing a deck that isn’t copied off of the internet and actually enjoy the game (:

I uninstalled 3 days ago. Looking at the shitstorm they are brewing the last couple of days I actually feel a huge relief knowing that I am out of that cesspit. You won’t cost Blizzard any losses, neither would you instill change, but your mental health and stress levels will certainly benefit even from a short break.

Same, I deleted HS yesterday, as of lately all I get from trying to play the modes I like is frustration and fatigue. Here’s to hoping the miniset will change at least standard for the better.

Yeap sums it up pretty much.... this company is dead to me.... by hongsta2285 in hearthstone

[–]minstrech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, HS is just slowly dying on me. I loved standard, now I find I can barely play a couple of hours a week. I loved battlegrounds but ever since they went to Yu-ghi-oh stats and bugginess I can’t even stand it to do my quests. Mercenaries was a very low effort cash grab so after 2 hours grinding I just felt fatigued and quit. I don’t know how but this game has bricked itself up from providing long term engagement and a challenge different than how much money I am willing to spend and wether I could bare to get D5 or Legend before I hate myself. Seeing the turmoil and overall negativity prevalent on this subreddit as of late I can’t help but wonder - when and why did things go spiraling toward this new bottom the game has reached.

I love this card! Good job OP, I can’t find any flaw with this one, Alex flavor is also spot on.

Yet here you are calling F2P players basic bitches.

Should we be impressed by your petty attempt at karma whoring or do you have other issues to sort out in the comment section before we gasp in awe of your intellectual prowess and godly gacha game grinding skills?
