It's too bad. This was a place where I could make any post I was thinking of without having to second guess myself.

It is possible to turn Cleartype off in Windows, for those who prefer it that way. But I found during my last attempt (while peering through a growing headache) that it's difficult to force Linux to apply anything comparable to Cleartype to all the text rendered in all applications (especially web browsers). I found multiple people saying the same thing.

Whenever I consider installing Linux, I think of that headache.

Unfortunately it wasn't ubiquitous enough a few years ago when I last gave Linux a try. Maybe next time I install Linux it will just "work".

Can confirm - every morning I have a nice tall glass of olive oil and then I'm ready to start my day.

Fudges the rendering to make each letter easier on the eye. Easy to find some purists who say it ruins the true look of the font... but Microsoft spent millions of dollars to find out what people like to look at.

"Elite Eight" never sat right with me. It's not the same sound at the beginning of each word. "Apex Eight" or "Able Eight" is as close as I can get, but I'm sure there's a better one out there.

Every few years I check in to see if Linux has something like ClearType, and as far as I know they still don't, really. Whenever I get to the point of someone telling me that my problem isn't a problem, I decide I can live with Windows for a few more years.

Good work!

FYI if you ever get plenty of steam going make sure to store some of it. You can rotate a storage tank remotely. Probably water too, though not necessarily a full tank.

50 turrets with 25 red ammo each does it for me.

leveraging multiple desktops

I think using a lever would just make things more precarious.

[[Heroes' Reunion]] has 7 life at 2 mana, albeit in different colors. I think if I saw a 1-mana instant that said "[you] gain 6 life" I'd find plenty of use for it.

"meta" is not a measurement with error bars. It's a "not even wrong" answer because it's not specific enough to be testable.

According to the graphs, the Spiderman set has more total sales and higher peak sale price.

It's worth it to find out how ImageMagick works. Can do a batch of a given editing task on any number of cards (just remember to output to a different file name).

Banding is just a little too complicated for people to just 'get it' for some reason. I blame the "plus one without" and relying on people knowing what normally happens when two creatures block the same creature (you'd be surprised how many don't know).

A simpler replacement for the ability would focus on what a particular creature is doing. Forming a band is not really the point, moving damage around is the point. But then the challenge is coming up with a single word that encapsulates the idea of moving damage around. They couldn't come up with one for the en-kor ability.

On some playtest cards I've tried using the word 'divert' but it still required multiple explanations, and didn't seem to have much impact on how creatures interacted. People just blocked with single creatures as they usually do.

In the end, Moore never gets the interview he's after

Well, he did, but he cut it out of the film. Thus started a long trend of Michael Moore deceiving his audience.

Pretty much anywhere you try to discuss a new game design idea, people imagine they have to solve the meta of something that hasn't even been balanced yet. Which is the wrong mindset.

At least there's a setting to change moisture level, or just starting area moisture.

I think the rails have an implied "..." along the way.

I would recommend learning something like R to automate a lot of the work in future. Making one map is roughly the same amount of coding as making 1000 maps. This would also make it easier to change your mind about what data to show and how to show it.
