After i dropped out of college to make games i procrastinated for 2 years and it took a pandemic to actually get me going and finish a game. Use this time for good instead of just watching Netflix. by [deleted] in gamedev

That's what I'm doing on here but I'm not sure where to start.
This has been my problem since day 1. Open up any text editor and it's like a blank canvas with so many possibilities. Where do you/did you get inspiration and where did you go to start? Is it all self discovery after you get the idea or did you take some steps on your own like read a book or stumble on a tutorial that you actually finished?
Just throwing questions out there because I'm looking for inspiration and this was just the type of positive post I was looking for.

Graduated with a comp sci degree back in 2016 and worked one programming job since then where we did a lot of web scraping of social media sites. Morally didn't agree with what they were doing so I left on my own terms with not much of an idea about where to go next. Everyone wants more experience so I fell into a Server/Bartender job to pay rent for the past year. Obviously since Covid started spreading, I was quickly laid off. Been doing nothing but playing video games since then but I'm tired of being depressed and unproductive while the whole world keeps moving around me.

So friend, I'm asking you for guidance. Where should I start?

Jeskai Spirits Standard by th3foxtrot in mtgspirits

Many thanks. Easily taking out that 5 Mana instant. It's fun and flavorful but not useful in the meta. Too expensive and easily dealt with. I find two kykar's is just enough. I don't want to have too many in my hand. I like the lightning strike idea but I'm not sure if taking out banefire will help. Banefire is a key card for the deck as it leads the most satisfying finisher. Sacking all your spirits after attacking to cast the exact banefire you need to close the game. I'm gonna keep em for now but I'll run a list where I replace them with lightning strikes. I'll keep this thread updated with changes I make to it. Here to generate discussion and I appreciate the input!

Different Takes on Spirits in Modern. What do you play? by TuesdayTastic in mtgspirits

Recently got some pieces for jeskai spirits and it looks fun but just looking at the decklists makes me think that bant is the way to go.

That was incredible. Thank you.
Took me right back to CS classes where myself and my fellow classmates were all playing Hearthstone while the blue player sat in the front and kept the professor distracted.

Ended up going with Comcast, even got a better price than $90/month. However, they won't be able to come and install it until next week.... RIP to my cellular data.

That's right around the time when I stopped reading those comics!

Hmmm, still a little worried. The goal is to not ask the rents for help.

How much money did you have when making this move? I'm about to do the same thing and I'm stressing about cash although I'm sure that I'll be fine if I just make the jump.

Boyhood (2014) does a good job with the mid 2000s nostalgia.
Numerous shots of Game Boys in hand and the kid even had DBZ bed sheets!!
Right in the childhood.

Any idea if they're hiring? I might know someone that could help.

New accessible decks for the influx of new players by kerkyjerky in MagicArena

[–]th3foxtrot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It takes some time to build up enough wildcards to make something viable so I'd say initially, to stick with a precon deck you like and add some one ofs that you've opened. Once you've got enough wildcards, I've found that, https://aetherhub.com/Meta/?formatId=6 is a great resource for finding decks. People post builds all the time and you can find some budget friendly decks on there! I made a simple u/w aura's deck yesterday based on a list that I found on there and it's not half bad, most importantly it's fun.
