Wow, really? I guess that unfortunately makes sense. I have a dock for my work laptop that charges and works for HDMI/etc but it uses an entire two USB-C ports at once.
Short answer is yes. Long answer is that with text it's much easier to stamp out illegal activity because keyword searches are cheap while semantic searches in images are pretty good but extremely computationally expensive. You can't just scan for illegal activity in images the same way you can nigh instantly scan a body of text for "illegal-site.com".

Do you have a link? Searching for "Two Player Game" results in what looks like lots of shovelware.
Upside: Easy as pie and can be used by anyone who has used Dropbox/OneDrive/GDrive/whatever
Downside: everyone gets a copy of every file regardless. Good luck getting rid of old files. Could be fine, though.
Funny story, in between my original comment and now I actually got to do some Planechase and it was uhhhhh. Well let's say that good company made light of a crummy start to the game. I had played my first lands on my turn one having kept a hand with two lands and two 2-cost rocks and other ramp. Anyway on someone else's turn two they flipped into the plane that did [[Warp World]]. I spent at least five turns waiting for a second land so that was... Something.
I'd still play Planechase ever but definitely only sometimes.
Ya there are definitely seemingly random cards in there. Some of that is the precon effect where there's definitely some minimum amount of synergy but also some big things that don't require the synergy engine to be going.
I had forgotten about Perennial Behemoth and Conduit of Worlds so I'll have to pick those up!

This is one of my first attempts to make a "precon" style deck with an obvious game plan and that especially that doesn't require prior knowledge to play.
I don't have nearly enough "play an additional land" effects but those are pretty price-gated anyway.
What do you think?
EDIT: The fetchlands are proxied.
Well there's the problem
Reddit, which is based in San Francisco, has in recent years tried to turn from a rough-and-tumble internet message board into a full-fledged social media business by adding executives and strengthening its advertising capabilities.
Everyone should probably read the most popular religious text in their region to better understand the culture around them.
You can also control-click for a new tab and shift-click for a new window.
Seconding Smart Launcher. Automatic categorization beats pretty much every other feature I can think of in a launcher.
I try to treat my devices as commitments as far as spending but disposable as far as usage habits and not having invent my own categories helps me just USE my phone instead of playing with it.
I think my phone is pretty simple. I don't pay any mobile games, I have my PC for that. It's my camera and my communications hub when I'm outside the house. I prefer a full keyboard and a full sized screen for Serious Work (TM).
The biggest problem with my phone is the ability to scroll social feeds but even then I find myself clicking on something weird or random and just putting my phone when I'm no longer using it for something focused.
Thanks for the rundown! I'm just doing the "towershell is in every set" meme.
Wouldn't the bottleneck be network latency rather than disk read/write latency? Newer games might expect to do disk IO more frequently than older games made for an era of slower disks.
The RC is talking about people talking about those cards. Bowmasters because it's extremely good AND punishes the same thing [[Hullbreacher]] punished.
Bats is of potential concern because of the sheer density of token creation in recent Magic design.
There's a lot of the toupee fallacy around AI. "AI is powerful and changing the world because it's displacing artists but also nothing to worry about because it can't write a real recipe."
Too much discussion around AI is tunnel visioned on today's versions of technologies in a toupée fallacy sense and not on what is essentially a question of philosophy: How do you truly control something that's smarter than you?
If you believe that human intelligence is the product of physical mechanisms that exist in the brain then you necessarily believe that a synthetic system could do the "same" thing but better, that an artificial superintelligence is possible. Current technologies being abused by individuals/corporations/nations is an old story and a familiar danger. This one is new.
AI safety researchers are thankfully already exploring this area. Whether the answer to the big question is in favor of humanity is another matter.
Where are those being considered for a ban?
We’ve been following the community’s discussions and concerns surrounding Orcish Bowmasters, and – to a lesser extent – Mirkwood Bats. With the help of the Commander Advisory Group, we’ll be observing how and if those discussions change over time as people play and play against these cards.
What's your new player on-ramp deck?
I mostly play Magic with people that I've taught the game and gotten hooked on it. Because of that I always keep the new player experience in mind when building decks and some of them are even built with that as a hard constraint.
These are the decks I keep that I give to newer or rustier players. They tend to have a bit everything or else commit hard to just the one theme where the theme is obvious.
Halana and Alena Counters - Make your commander big then they make something else big every turn.
Sloguurk Self-Mill - mill yourself, make your commander big, draw lands from the graveyard, play them.
Ramp City Svella - Ramp ramp ramp, cast fatties, profit.
A deck created using the deck building website, Moxfield.
I have long said that [[Svella]] is a "fixed" [[Golos]]. She essentially does the same thing by both ramping and drawing cards but doesn't give you five colors for no reason and serves as both an early and late game mana outlet.
It's a deck I often give to newer players because the gameplay is pretty well advertised by the commander.
What do you think of my deck?
What's your pet deck?
We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn't the best. For me that's [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It's not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It's a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.
What's your pet deck?
What LTR cards are you excited about?
I'm personally excited to use LTR/LTC commander decks to get people into the game!
All main story free web fiction from KTK-MOM as EPUB files
https://i.imgur.com/elQSYKG.jpg
I finally did it. I went through the entire web fiction archive and turned it into EPUBs (except the NEO manga PDF).
330 "books", 2.24 GB
All stories have the proper metadata with title, author(s) and series (set/block/anthology) and include the proper cover image as shown on the MTG Story Archive here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story
Link
This is the link to the Google Drive containing the files. The anthologies and chapters are separated by folder so you can choose your preferred reading experience.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CKIzFmunFLEfPgBXyHw0exEnNelG-7Ja?usp=sharing
It was A LOT of work but made much easier using a variety of software tools to automate the most important steps.

- Calibre E-Book Management to manage metadata like title, series, covers and also to generate the final folder structure. https://calibre-ebook.com/
- Bash scripting to rename downloaded .zip.html files to just .zip so Calibre can understand them.
- Irfanview to create the collages. https://www.irfanview.com/
Future
In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this. There's is also no source that I know of that has a complete mostly of all free web fiction with working links. It's a mess on the mothership.
Enjoy!
Does anyone play Torgaar? Looking to improve my list
A deck created using the deck building website, Moxfield.
I like Torgaar as my Mono Black Stuff deck and am looking to trim the fat a bit. The Burglar Rat effects are up for cutting but I'm not sure what direction to go in.
Painful Quandary seems cool for when I set something to 20 with Torgaar?

I know Reddit is...in flux so I figured now is as good a time as any to release a dump like this. I hope it's something people want.
In the future I may write custom software that would let me scrape a database of links and do every step automatically but that would take longer than the one whole day it took me to do this.
Enjoy!
