I had a friend in high school who did the hand drawing exercise, it does work. He got really good at drawing hands.

thats a good bet yeah.

Fair. I don’t do audio stuff so I’ll take your word for it.

Agreed. A Virtual Machine is also an option. That’s how I got started, running fedora vms on my windows laptop ten+ years ago.

the announcement says its effective as of june 30th, so i’d bet a release of arena is due out today or tomorrow that will have the change.

I’ve been running 99% Linux for ten ish years or so. I finally got rid of the last windows vm a few months ago. The one hold out piece of software now runs in wine properly and I got to delete that vm.

You can also find all of his deck lists here: https://aetherhub.com/User/SwayzeMTG/Decks for easy perusal.

SwayzeMTG (https://youtube.com/@swayzemtg) is my current daily dose for interesting standard brews.

Also MTG_Creative_Combos (https://youtube.com/@mtg_creative_combos) and MTG Filipa (https://youtube.com/@mtgfilipa) are good channels.

Nixahon on YouTube put it like something like “even if I’m not into it for the IP or adverse to mixing in non-magic IP, I’m still going to have fun with the mechanics”. I’ve kind of used that as the touchstone for me to enjoy it.

Have not had a chance to play it yet (out of town), but that helped mollify some of my objections. Lots of the early access streams look like it will be a fun set mechanically so I’m looking forward to playing.

I’ve never seen anyone say it was cheating. more like haveling a pocket reference manual.

you can get the same info with quick alt-tabbing to 17lands really, it’s just convenient to have it as an overlay.

I liked them more for the collection tracking convenience myself. that became a lot harder once WoTC took the collection data out of the logs.

I saw the code for one tracker that basically injects some c++ or unity code or something into the memory where arena is running and gets the collection data that way. it does not seem to work in proton the same way though, at least not for me.

Two votes for Nizzahon (YouTube) and Lords of Limited (Podcast, YouTube).

https://www.17lands.com/ is your friend if you have not found that yet. If you’re on windows there are also various collection tracker/game overlays that can give you info about the cards in a pack while you’re in the draft.

I liked https://mtga.untapped.gg/companion and/or https://mtgaassistant.net/Download when I was on windows.

Sadly there are none that really work on linux at the moment. That I have been able to find anyway.

Piefed.social might be an option: https://jolly-piefed.jomandoa.net/post/280967

Yeah, very similar here. It used to frustrate me to not be able to stick with a hobby or project or whatever for the long term.

Now I think of it more like dipping into hobby A for a while, doing something, then when the urge hits moving on to hobby B. But I know I’ll come back to hobby A at some point so it’s not as much of an ego blow if I remember to just accept that the focus has moved on for now, but will come back later.

This https://inara.cz/elite/logbook/84502/ says: “Pranav Antal: +30% exobiology payouts, +50% trade profits for technology commodities and +150% minor faction reputation gain in Antal-controlled systems”

30 rather than 100% but thats not bad.

For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I’ll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a “Group” that only cares about the “Following” collection.

You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

The AP interactions for a Feed are:

• Send a Follow request for a Feed
• Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
• Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
• Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
• Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
• Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

I have done this exact thing. Its what multiple career coaches have said to do. In my experience the networking aspect of job hunting is the part that actually gets jobs these days.

So, imo, this is not wrong. Bob agreed so it was fine. It does sound like maybe buying Bob a beer and not asking that particular Bob to do it again is reasonable. But the process in general is sound!

Came here to point out CoH!

Same! Very confusing thing first thing in the morning

'To put on one of his plays, you don’t pay his estate, you give a donation to a urangutan preservation society. ’

I didn’t know that, and now I love the man even more.

You could programmatically rearrange the meaning of sentences. Ie instead of “where is the library I need to get a book” you could do some sort of full word replacement cypher and end up with sentences like “Lets mambo down to the banana patch.”

Just for fun. :-)
