I guess it might work if we lived in a fantasy world.

Do you think if a bunch of us joined ICE we could talk sense into our colleagues?

MTGO Commander Window Bug
MTGO Commander Window Bug YouTube video by CubeApril

I think I deleted of my Magic video content as it was really old, but here's one I kept around.

4K makes such an absurd difference when watching: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpLK...

Yeah, I think when I was streaming I would stream at 1080p (or maybe 1440p?) and then save 4k locally for youtube.

what's wild is despite it having been eight years since then, with CPUs and GPUs getting ever more powerful, and bandwidth becoming ever more available, that 1080p is still the default resolution for Magic recordings.

at least do 1440p!

this seems like a fair and reasonable decision that i definitely will not abuse

funnily enough the one that's most broken is the purchasing library -- if you try to buy anything through Arena it locks the game up entirely.

Unity is fine actually -- it's the third-libraries they include that don't work. Most of them haven't been updated in years and years.

Looks like Apple is doing to discontinue Rosetta 2 support after the next couple years, which I guess makes sense because most apps switched to being Apple Silicon native years ago.

(except for Arena, which is still broken unless you run it with the much slower Rosetta 2 mode)

afaik the company hasn't grown proportionally to its revenue, so it wouldn't surprise me if it was still true.

i don't make games but i do write fiction. and i know it's been almost a decade since @maro254.bsky.social wrote this but i still think about lesson 11 β€” if everyone likes your game but no one loves it, it will fail β€” all the time:

food is generally a fairly small percentage of restaurant costs (and coverable with higher prices), it seems to me that it’s more likely that they will get destroyed by massive cutbacks in consumer discretionary spending.

either way, bad news for restaurants.

i really should start playing in these tournaments, i have so many of these silly play-in points.

being able to convert them to another currency would be so niiiiiiiiiice

i mean in this case the real problem is not an alchemy card but a card banned in other formats -- honestly there isn't a single alchemy card that's truly a problem.

the latest B&R covered historic

I've been playing Historic since the beginning of the format, and I think this may well be the worst meta I have ever seen.

The fact that the recent B&R announcement didn't even mention the problematic cards (Sorin/Elendra) has me convinced that Wizards simply doesn't care about the format at all.
