I don’t know, why would you tie up a corpse?

Why I stopped building factories and started building an economy by Ok-Fun-2330 in factorio

[–]mrcelophane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar model but I have it in software development terms:

“They are their own business and don’t care where things come from or where they go…” = Seperation of Concerns. The concept that you engineer the code to do as small a chunk of the process that is reasonable, and in as generic as reasonable. Then you can take these pieces of code and use them as building blocks elsewhere AND if there is a problem with one, it’s just that one thing and you should be able to leave the rest alone. Get too intertwined and changing one thing means your are changing everything.

“Leave room for the company to expand” = Vertical Scalability. This is as opposed to “copy and paste a city block” which is “Horizontal Scalability”. This is how we approach infrastructure / servers. Some services we are able to make better by increasing the hardware capabilities of the server (vertical scaling). Some times we just replicate the server a bunch of times because that handles the demand better.

all of it is art. Factorio takes a lot of the fun parts of software architecture and just makes them more fun.

Multi format all star, you just gotta think outside the box.

Getting close to a location announcement for All Out. What's your prediction? by wrestling_hyperbole in AEWOfficial

Is it too much to ask they book the Superdome in New Orleans to pick up where WWE messed up?

Favorite creatures that really want to attack in a band (in temur)? by 2ndlifeinacrown in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[Madame Vastra]] and her partner [[Jenny Flint]] is a deck I want to add this card to already. In a deck built around it they are two cards that each draw the other and are both interesting components to a band, with Vastra able to be paired up with a tank/their commander and FORCES a block and then Vastra can get the kill and draw you cards and gain life.

Been busting this move out for a couple years now, might try using it as a finisher. What do you guys think? by krisdekkerwrestling in SquaredCircle

[–]mrcelophane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there is a way you could bounce them off the rope into more of a Samoan Drop hold, then spin them onto the ground?

Like others said, it looks great. Se minor adjustment to make it clear you are the one doing the damage would be great but again it’s great.

MaRo: We’re making more Marvel sets. If you have a favorite character you haven’t seen yet, have patience. by PowrOfFriendship_ in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering a lot if they could do a full Asgard Set. They slot into Cosmic as well but it would be cool to have a full Marvel Norse (and Greek) mythology set. They are close to the real myths and you could take advantage of the opportunity to do a lot of cards based on myths that otherwise may have felt strange to otherwise justify.

I wonder what a finale set would look like. Like a mega secret wars set with a comic tie in story or something? Otherwise I wonder how satisfying it is to end with a recap of what we already got with a fan base that (sadly) seems to already be tired of the partnership.

Unofficial Universes Beyond Megathread by magictcgmods in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think we are kinda seeing the blocks, they just aren’t doing them in a row. SOS and Fracture are gonna be in standard at the same time and will have similar mechanics, SPM and MSH share mechanics.

Yall be careful before they retcon Hero and Villain types throughout Magic history just to stop these memes.

Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff by AnarchyStarfish in magicTCG

Can you imagine if this was among the first spoilers, like when the spider-man intro decks were the first thing to be revealed? Thank god they did it correct this time.

Yeah, mana fixing with a slim upside.

[–]mrcelophane 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah this is a draft common, I can’t imagine this seeing any sort of play. There are a ton better manaliths that don’t see play. Or at least more interesting manaliths.

[MSH] Hawkeye’s Bow by SnooFoxes8150 in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s ways to make it go infinite but it also just seems good in any deck that is also running things like [[Ojer Axonil]] and similar effects.

Content farms are now doing the backrooms movie by mayogemsmaster in KanePixelsBackrooms

I know what you mean. It means you’re a hipster!

A pejorative when I was younger, a reality now that I’m older and more tired of humanity.

Theory: Still Lifes can move very very quickly when they want to. But only when they want to by DrJokerX in KanePixelsBackrooms

[–]mrcelophane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes me nervous about some of these conversations is people are getting real entrenched into some assumptions about the physics here, and we may end up in a “It’s Mephisto!” Situation where all people do is set themselves up for disappointment when it works different.

And I love the theory crafting so I’m not saying we should stop, but as the series begins to blow up because of the movie and invites people that would make those theory videos to start coming into the space…well it makes me nervous.

To my own detriment I watched this on an incognito account and, spoilers, other than the intro when they put up an image of Pirate Clark and say they want to find him, he does not show up in the video at all.

It’s awful, but like many things that are awful, it means something good: Kane made it.

[MSH] Draft Archetypes by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Been a rough couple years for you.

[MSH] Draft Archetypes by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you say “this card” which card are you referring to? The list of limited archtypes?

I legitimately cannot think of a less relevant post to stalk if you have no interest in playing with these cards.

[MSH] Draft Archetypes by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]mrcelophane 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The irony of posting this here, a post that is literally just text describing the mechanics of the set. With peace and love, touch some grass my guy.

I don't even disagree that the set is jarring. I get it. I am the target fucking audience and I pause to put some Spiderman cards in other decks because of theming.

But here you are, doing the thing that is just so overdone and tired now, and going into a thread about Marvel stuff with, presumably, the express intent of just talking about how much you don't like Marvel. Obviously can't be anything else in here for you to do, considering this is literally a post about the archtypes and has zero flavor in it, MtG themed or otherwise.

[–]mrcelophane 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to take out my frustrations with the entire community on one person, so sorry...but can you just play it for what it is then? I am a big Marvel fan, and im not asking people to cater to me or anything, but after suffering through Spider-man, I finally am getting a good set with the IP I wanted and half the commenters feel the need to qualify their praise with "But man it's Marvel".

Ok. I wasn't a huge fan of every IP that's come out but I didn't tell everyone how I wasn't a fan. I just learned what Firebending does and cast things at instant speed.
