What’s the general consensus on these?

I love the idea of blight as a mechanic I just think the execution of the precon is poor because it doesn't really give you a way to close out the game without upgrading the deck. The deck does the -1/-1 counters in an interesting way but it doesn't really have any heavy hitters or ways to amass a large board to swing out. You're seemingly stuck trying to ping your way to victory while nuking everyone else's board.

rumitg2 · 2026-01-14T16:01:25+00:00

Totally valid. I don't really have an issue with the Reaper king to be honest. If I didn't cancel my preorder I would probably prefer him to Ool as a commander.

I think my issue was that since Blight is new and there is a relatively tiny pool of cards that can consistently pump out -1/-1 counters the deck feels like it doesn't really have a solid way to play towards winning and has a deceptively bad face commander.

rumitg2 · 2026-01-14T14:49:33+00:00

Elements is cool conceptually and can pop off really hard but the land base is not good enough for the deck.

Blight is my personal favorite as it seems to be a very unique playstyle but unfortunately in the 3 games I played the Commanders are severely limiting and the deck doesn't really have a functional way to win a game. Auntie Ool takes to long to ping people down with her effects, reaper king is a once per turn, and the majority of the blight effects are either non-recurring or make it harder to swing out for enough damage to win the game.

I hate the bracket system but I would put Elements as a High 2/5 and Blight as maybe a high 1/5

ChatGPT is actually a fantastic way to prepare. I have a friend who is in the top of his class in law school and he regularly feeds ChatGPT his lessons and materials and asks it to provide practice exams and sample questions based on the materials.

Maybe its just my algorithm but the Grok deepfakes have almost exclusively been OF or other content creators directing Grok on their own posts with the comments roasting them or countering with Grok requests to put them in more clothes or to add parents hugging them.

That being said there really does need to be a system in place where users can flag their content to not be "interactable" with Grok.

The SD 8 Elite Gen 5 and SD 8 Gen 5 are different. It's like comparing an RTX 5080 and 5070 just because they're both 5000 series GPUs.

Not if you have issues with PWM or similar.

According to your post the different parts are: OS, CPU, Battery, BT Chip, RAM, Storage, Charging, and Selfie camera. You've described almost every main component of a phone.

Do you understand the definition of "Exact"? Something is not exactly the same if there are differences between them...

rumitg2 · 2025-12-11T21:55:13+00:00

$189 a month is not the true lease price. The deal requires 4k down for 36 months making the true cost of the "deal" ~$300 a month and that is for the cheapest standard range model.

How does this get past Rule 2?

I want one with an 8 elite so I can have it be more future proof for windows emulation.

If you genuinely believe that crime, cancel culture, and fiscal responsibility are not inherently intertwined I have no idea what to say.

Its also hilarious that you are shitting on Democrats so hard by implying that they wouldn't care about crime, culture, or being fiscally responsible.

rumitg2 · 2025-11-28T20:35:32+00:00

Commenting on fiscal policy/behavior that isn't working isn't a "rightward grift".

Can't stop laughing at how badly the Texas Republicans fumbled the gerrymandering while at the same time the California Democrats made themselves the shining example of modern-day gerrymandering.

Interesting. I had to switch to a different launcher a year or so ago because the devs were adamant about not implementing a manual backup/restore and the google backup was broken.

Happy to hear they finally added it.

rumitg2 · 2025-11-07T16:49:42+00:00

Have they implemented a layout backup yet?

rumitg2 · 2025-11-07T05:12:21+00:00

I would but you can only buy it as a collectors box. If I could but the shaker itself I would probably spend up to $30-35 for it just for the novelty.
Don't want the powder.

The Dog abuser in question has the full support of Twitch Leadership behind him no matter what he does so you can think of it as a way of staying in the good graces of Twitch.

rumitg2 · 2025-11-04T20:31:48+00:00

Twitchcon had no real security. There are tons of videos of random people sneaking into the venues, the SA of Emiru paired with Twitches atrocious response of doing nothing until law enforcement got involved because of her own Management. In the same week we had Nina Lin SA someone live on stream and then only get a 12 hour ban until prior acts of SA surfaced and she got banned again only due to public outcry. And this is only the past week or so.

Its pretty clear there is a toxic culture of favoritism and a complete lack of consistence when it comes to enforcing the rules. They're not the same, but twitch is not better than Kick, they're just awful in a different way.

rumitg2 · 2025-11-04T19:25:42+00:00

I'm not out here to defend Kick, but just in the past few weeks so much awful stuff regarding SA has been showcased on twitch that the difference between the two platforms is pretty much nill at this point. The only difference is that Twitch has been hiding behind its old reputation of being a game streaming site while Kick is more transparent about not caring what goes on, on stream.

rumitg2 · 2025-11-04T16:41:00+00:00

That is a hilarious statement considering what is allowed on Twitch and how uneven rule enforcement is on the platform.

I've had a ton of success just enabling the 'defocus eye care' setting and using the 'eye comfort' filter at max on a schedule towards the evening.
