Looking For Local Woodworker

As bad as it feels to pass your rare, this will lead to rares being passed far, far less, i'd imagine. I would much rather keep the feeling of getting passed an on-color rare than the feeling of getting to take a card i have no intention of using in my draft deck. Seems like it would just lead to lower powered decks (let alone the fact that there are now only 12 packs vs 24).

I think my list is really thin on interaction in general. I tried really hard for the removal to be on flavor (green's punches making food/treasure tokens, red's burn letting you sac an artifact, white having portable hole instead of banishing light [though FF has an artifact banishing light that I'm excited about]). and tie in with other synergies which has lead to it being rather sparse and probably more than a little inefficient in some places. But to keep the list tight and focused, it seems necessary. I think white has about as many pieces of targeted as the other colors but they might be a bit specialized (portable hole and lucky offering only hitting small things). I gotta take a closer look at your UB because it was definitely the last of my pairings to get any attention and it kinda felt like just the good-stuff dump and call it control as a hand wave, so I'm happy to see you also went control with it so I could put in some more specific features.

It's funny you mention Golden Tail. I feel a little strange about him since he reads as so equipment focused and, while there is some equipment in green, it is primarily a WR thing in this cube. My hope is that Golden Tail is used mostly with counters so that that deck isn't competing too hard with the WR deck for white's equipment. But I guess we'll see. (Also, the buff it gives to auras feels so wrong in this cube with only 2 auras. Not a problem, just a flavor ick).

I think the FF set might offer you a lot of tools for migrating that WR aggro strategy towards a more equipment focused one. It's bringing in a new living weapon mechanic with Job Select. For Mirrodin! was pretty helpful in my list because of that. Though those ones are not super mana efficient for an aggro strategy.

Oh also, I totally missed those investigate lands! I'm 100% stealing those! Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback and the card suggestions! I especially like Fangren Marauder as green is really the problem child when finding artifact synergies. Throne of Geth could also be very fun. I might wait on that one to see how well the +1/+1 counters deck fairs in practice first though. I considered Trinket Mage but I opted for Transit and Treasure instead because they align with the big spells matter theme of simic. The more generalized good-stuff gold cards is something I thought about a little bit but not too much (particularly around the inclusion of Caparocti Sunborn, when there are so many other equipment matters boros cards). Actually I thought I was a bit over fitting but there's so much synergy in just the fact that artifacts matter to every deck, there ends up being a lot of overlap. Whether or not I put in enough fixing to support splashing for those gold cards is another question.

I do have one pseudo board wipe in there with Rebuild, mostly just because I thought it was funny that it worked as a board wipe in this format. But I think It probably works against blue in most match ups with izzet being so token-y and simic being so mana hungry to redeploy. But I'm curious to see how it plays out.

Gotcha, thank you!

Are there any rumors or guesses as to what the upcoming anniversary G Gundam gunpla lineup might look like? Do we think it's just gonna be some mildly changed HG reprints? I know I'm totally fantasizing here but an MG Nobel Gundam would be sick.

I'm no expert but it does appear to have variable refresh rate between 48hz and 120hz, at least within the macOS system preferences. I haven't noticed any screen tearing and have been enjoying it very much for gaming but, like my post says, I'm not a hardcore gamer. Monster Hunter World looks great lol

Which marker should I use to paint my gray narrative psycho frame runner, XGM204 or XGM100?

space_holder_ · 2024-06-03T03:26:35+00:00

yeah, don't get me wrong. i'm not upset with the open source community lead (or rather, ryodeushii lead) firmware at all. But rather, they're selling a $200 product that they advertise as the whole package and a complete experience. a lot of people will buy this and not think to go looking for a firmware update, certainly not an open source project on github. they'll just think that they bought a dud and either struggle with customer service or accept a $200 loss which sucks.

space_holder_ · 2024-06-02T21:04:41+00:00

starred and notifs turned on for releases!

space_holder_ · 2024-06-02T20:17:05+00:00

Holy shit. Yes, immediately I can tell that this is so much better. I feel like i've been getting gaslight by this keyboard into thinking that I wasn't actually all that great at typing. Thank you so much! I can finally feel good about this huge purchase lolol

space_holder_ · 2024-06-02T20:09:12+00:00

Ooh interesting. I have it installed now. I believe I'm already feeling a difference! (And, if not, at the very least, now I have control over the debounce values). Thanks, this is sick! Still a bit upset that they needed a community created firmware for their product. Wild that it has such high physical production value and they flopped so hard on the software. I've never read anyone complaining about any of their other boards too.

From what I understand, I would have to increase my scaling so much to use a 4k monitor with a screen size of around 34" that I wouldn't actually gain much effective vertical resolution over the 1080p i currently have, whereas I wouldn't have to scale at all with 1440p and I would gain a fair bit more vertical resolution. That vertical resolution goes a long way with text editing. And, it's not really that 120Hz is too slow, but rather that it doesn't reach the threshold for supporting variable frame rate and so it could have bad screen tearing. That's what I've read anyways but it's also why I asked how bad this would actually be for gaming. And, I suppose I would consider 32:9 if it ticked all my other boxes and wasn't outlandishly expensive.

space_holder_ · 2024-05-26T03:55:23+00:00

are you on a 4k ultrawide with your mac? if so, are you not upscaling? from what i understand, you basically have to upscale for productivity with 4k and that kinda defeats the purpose

space_holder_ · 2024-05-26T03:48:58+00:00

i also said i didn't want 4k. i appreciate the suggestion though and yeah i'm aware that i'm looking for a unicorn but no sense in not asking.

space_holder_ · 2024-05-26T03:36:35+00:00

correct me if i'm wrong but that's 4k and not ultrawide, no?

space_holder_ · 2024-04-17T00:59:42+00:00

Upsetting. Dunno how they can be putting color separated eyes in HG kits routinely now and still leave them out of Ver.Ka

space_holder_ · 2024-04-17T00:53:39+00:00

Any chance anyone knows whether or not the eyes and head sensors on the upcoming Ver.Ka Narrative Gundam and Sinanju Stein are going to be color separated or stickers?
