    Yeah this is such an easy solution to the essay problem that I have no idea how the world is so upset about "the death of homework" lol. You just make them do it in a medium where you KNOW that they're not plagiarizing.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    So perhaps the fractal quantum field or the fractal dimension of gravity, or a combination of all these, is the initial "uniform" state that leads to the perceived fine structure of our universe similar to the predictions of Alan Turing in The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis - Wikipedia...

    Cool! I saw a paper earlier about a Liouville conception of fractal gravity but I didn't check it out. I think I will have to tho! https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00220-019-03487-4

    Write a fictional story about a guy named Foler who lives in his mom's basement and collects watches. He's kind of a loser and tells bad jokes all the time but for some reason people actually kinda like having him around. Foler was a peculiar man who lived in his mother's basement and had a...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Speaking of tripping. There's also recent research that shows that psychedelics do what they do because they increase the number of particles in the microtubules of our brain that are in superposition, in quantum theories of consciousness. Which would mean tripping actually extends your...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    A lot of this is too heady for me, but I was tripping the other night and had the idea that one of the dimensions of our physical universe could be a fractional dimension / "fractal" dimension. My gut feeling was it was a phi-th (0.618033, the golden ratio) of a dimension, explaining why the...

    That's just not true. A lot of old players have left but MTG is as popular as ever. That means lots of new people have arrived.

    When it barfs you can say "finish that" and it will often complete what it started. And don't be afraid to hit that Regenerate Response button, you can always go back to the old one, but once you move forward you can't reroll past steps anymore.

    World of Ruin is where you get to delve into the backstory of all the characters. Makes it more character driven and less story driven in a sense. Still awesome imo.

    MTG: Arena

    Great additions to my Historic Esper Control deck. Rusko, Clockmaker replaces my Professor Onyxes as my main wincon beautifully. Insane value that they need double the removal on a 4CMC card. Deceptively good card. Argivian Welcome would be good imo even if it was just "you may cast your...

    They're going for both ends of the spectrum. The existence of all the extra stuff milking collectors doesn't negate all the Transformers and Godzilla and etc schtick they're obviously doing to bring in new casual players.

    I don't get out to the LGS much anymore but I always thought it was awesome when someone laid a boss Mythic Rare that I had to stop and read. I think between the two they're going for "sense of wonder" over "a game where everyone knows everything" and I like it. *Shrugs*

    It's a 30 year old game that's had more and more cards added to it over time, people that have every card memorized are not the target audience.

    So change your format. Or, rather, don't let it change your format, maybe. Literally more options does nothing but fuck over compulsive people lol

    Any of y'all ever read about Superfluid Vacuum Theory? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/superfluid-spacetime-relativity-quantum-physics/ It proposes that what looks to us like the vacuum of empty space is actually a superfluid. I had never heard of it before, but has a little...

    So how far away are we from the point where "the powers that be" can use fusion, AI, and robotics to make it so that no one ever has to work again? Like within the decade, right? What happens when the people ask them to do it and they say "no! What would all you people DO all day if you...

    Hey at least they're making sure you'll always have goals? P.s. If you can afford collecting on that level, could you loan me $100 for a new futon?

    It's only more of a burden if your goal was to collect literally every single variant of every single card. Otherwise it's just more options. *Shrugs* And re: the "overprinting" argument from others, does anyone have the actual numbers to know whether or not they're actually printing way more...

    I know this is obvious, and I don't mean it as talking down -- sometimes you need to hear the obvious shit come from someone else's mouth -- but you don't need to keep up with it all if you don't want to. All the alternate art cards do the exact same thing mechanically. IMO it's kinda cool...

    Printing a lot of new art for basic lands is one of the things I don't see a problem with at all. Doesn't affect competitive play at all, not required by any means, but gives them a new revenue source while giving people more options for personalizing their decks. Sure alters already exist but...

    Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster Series

    Yeah the Esper level up bonuses are the main thing I was thinking of as trivializing combat. If you do your own exploration instead of following a guide / map, you easily overpower content just from keeping your Espers well cycled as you level. Every single one of your favorite characters...
