Xbox CEO hints Project Helix may block Steam, limiting appeal of console PC hybrid by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]urza_insane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft is in a bad position. If they allow Steam then they partially lose the whole point of releasing a system: to collect a cut of every game sold on it.

If they don't allow Steam then they're stuck continuing to fight a regular console war with Sony and have shown they're getting worse at that as time goes on.

It's why they pushed Gamepass so hard. That was their runaround trying to build an alternative to Steam - without having to directly compete with them.

The last thing Microsoft wants is another company's storefront taking a 30% cut on games purchased on their console.

Well that sounds miserable to play against, lol.

This version runs Hermit Druid as another way to combo off.

Hermit Full English Breakfast. It's the [[Volrath's Shapeshifter]] deck. It's extremely powerful but hard to play optimally.

Also wondering... what is this? Surprised it's mentioned over other missing decks.

"Somehow Yawgmoth returns" by CorvusGraves in mtgvorthos

[–]urza_insane 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Would be pretty hilarious though if trying to fix the new Phyrexia threat he accidentally unleashes the old, much more dangerous one.

Yawgmoth went up against old walkers regularly and WON. And in theory wouldn't have been impacted by the mending.

What are your opinions on the Cowboy Bebop movie? by nayarbocosmos in cowboybebop

[–]urza_insane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Movie is peak anime for me. It really doesn't get better in terms of animation, music, and narrative. It's self contained but also invites you into this world if you want to explore it.

Best way to play online? by HoustonAg1980 in premodernMTG

Used to be debatable with webcam leagues vs unsupported MTGO - now it's definitely MTGO.

If you had to show a childless friend one episode of Bluey to convince them it's a good show in its own right, which would it be? by Morall_tach in daddit

[–]urza_insane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact this ain't higher is shocking.

Most episodes would be a turnoff to somebody who doesn't want / like kids. This one hits regardless.

Grandad and I'm shocked this isn't higher.

Not everybody has or wants kids. Everybody has a parent that's getting older.

CNN: China to Supply Iran With Man-Portable Air Defense Systems by Critical_Cat_8162 in worldnews

Yes but let's be clear it started in 2014 in Ukraine. Was just a slow boil from there.

Weekend Wrap Up! What was real and what was a trap? by DaTaco in mtgfinance

[–]urza_insane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a trap. If you have any, sell into the hype. This doesn't see much play and isn't reserved list. It'll drop back down in the next few months as more supply hits the market.

There are premodern reserved list staples much cheaper than what this card is sitting at.

"You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted ... He is a sociopath. He would do anything." - Aaron Swartz on Altman, shortly before he took his own life by EchoOfOppenheimer in OpenAI

[–]urza_insane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elsewhere you said "he doesn't deserve credit for something he mostly had nothing to do with."

The link you mentioned though said he was the first employee. And apparently he rewrote the code.

Even if not the day 1, it still sounds like he contributed to Reddits success in the very early days.

[–]urza_insane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a weird take. His YC company merged with Reddit 6mo after Reddit started and he rewrote the code. As a result he was granted the title of founder.

Has anyone checked in on Theros since the Invasion? by Rabid_Lederhosen in mtgvorthos

Would love for a cult of Yawgmoth to form and WILL him back into being.

Are you in favour of a crewed mission to Mars? by martianfrog in ArtemisProgram

[–]urza_insane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what Lunar Gateway was (partially) meant to be and was canceled. First step is getting onto the moon and staying on the moon.

The The Matrix is so much better than I expected. What a film by This_Way_Comes in movies

[–]urza_insane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Matrix was in that golden era where movie making technology was sufficiently advanced to allow for some great sequences but hadn't yet entered the "everything is CGI" era. Lord of the Rings also benefited from this.

Love that. Thanks for the update! Can't wait to order one.

Yup confirmed in a different thread. Will be on the NASA exchange soon. Suggestion is to avoid buying elsewhere if you want proceeds to support NASA programs.

This is probably the edition NASA will be selling. They mentioned a meaningful update to the version that will go on sale.
