    MTG thread

    If I remember right my Rudy videos, draft boosters = just normal cards, with a chance of foil, set boosters = normal cards with one guaranteed foil, plus a chance of reprint of older cards ("the list"), collector boosters = the ones with all foil, alternate frame, alternate art, full art, etc.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I mean, they are still the only country in the world that has multiple papers every year showing that acupuncture "works" (every study done in other countries has concluded it to be undistinguishable from placebo).

    Office and gaming chairs

    I think it's the point. I have cervical spondylosis, and the difference between home Embody (yes, I splurged for one) and my office chair at work is night and day. The office one looks all nice and comfy, but I end up with more aches at the end of the day vs when I'm working from home.

    Ashes of Creation

    Since we just got reminded this is a full world PvP game, I assume you deal with "locking" by killing the person who engaged the mob, then you end stealing its loot once he's dead.

    You don't need hackers. I've been managing computer security in highly sought-after IP situations for a few years and we never got hacked. What we got was the intern with a fistful of small USB keys copying everything on shared drives that wasn't secured (don't get me started on server shares...

    Lots of people have been complaining about this. I paid only once for his patreon, and while I'm not entirely regretting it (since I did enjoy reading the series, so paying the author is a good thing), I'm definitively not paying again for a very long time (I'm never paying for the advance...

    I think the Chinese advertised plans to build that kind of thins using automated rovers already. Although they're still significantly behind, even if I'm pretty sure they're copying all they can from SpaceX.

    It's actually chinese, which is a relative rarity (most of the asian MMO out there are Korean or Japanese, it's rare that a chinese game gets released out of the Great Firewall confines).

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Don't worry. I was a straight A (~18/20 here) in physics until I hit the moment where they started quantum mechanics. One year, 18/20 average. Next year, 3/20 average. There is a wall in physics beyond which you fall into the abyss of incomprehension.
