translation: my seat is vulnerable because i’ve failed to build a durable progressive coalition and there are zionists in my district who would do everything they can to end my career

coincidentally, the Youtuber Salubrious Snail just released a video that’s directly relevant to your question

Consider playing a couple games where you swap decks. Commander players are used to downplaying their decks’ strengths and other decks’ weaknesses. Maybe you’re wrong and you just need to learn some strategy fundamentals, but it sounds likely that there really is a significant deck power disparity.

However, if that is the case, it’s possible that your deck’s shortcomings could be fixed without having to spend more than $5 on a single card. Adding more removal, removing duds, simplifying your game plan, or improving your mana base could help keep you in the game.

Oh also I would be derelict in my duties if I did not remind you that proxying cards is good and everyone should do it all the time. If your play group doesn’t allow proxies, they suck and you should start looking for some cool people to play with.

calm down honey, it’s a joke.

honestly just start abusing drugs

shit, you’re right. I’m unfamiliar with Fedora and Gnome. I also found this thread in the NVidia developer forums describing what sounds like the same issue with a similar setup, but the proposed workaround doesn’t sound feasible.

is there an Open Source Hardware comm on lemmy.ml or elsewhere? I agree this is really cool

e: of course it’s in the sidebar [email protected], doy

Sounds like you’re experiencing screen tearing, an effect where the refresh rate of your monitor can’t keep up with your graphics card. This section of the Arch Wiki might be helpful.

What kind of monitor do you have, and does it have a configurable refresh rate?

i quite like kitty, it’s got great text rendering support

Ah shoot, you’re right, I didn’t read the card closely enough and see that it’s a triggered ability, not a an activated ability.

you collecting them?

also note that these are the rules for spells or abilities on the stack. some effects have you copying cards in exile, in which case you do play those, and you do pay the associated casting costs unless the effect states otherwise.

From the Comprehensive Rules:

707.10. To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated. A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs. (See rule 601, “Casting Spells.”) Choices that are normally made on resolution are not copied. If an effect of the copy refers to objects used to pay its costs, it uses the objects used to pay the costs of the original spell or ability. A copy of a spell is owned by the player under whose control it was put on the stack. A copy of a spell or ability is controlled by the player under whose control it was put on the stack. A copy of a spell is itself a spell, even though it has no spell card associated with it. A copy of an ability is itself an ability.

This means that you don’t pay the activation cost again.

In your first example, X would remain the same for the copy and you can’t change it. If a copy effect says that you may choose new targets, that specifically refers to choosing game objects specified by the word target in the text of the ability, so in Isareth’s case, you could reanimate another creature with the same mana value.

In your second example, yes, you’d place counters on each attacking creature twice.

Also even if the prototype in the video is fully functional, they are not gonna have these delivered by August this year with a $500k goal lmao.

“Minimal”

At the software level, the Minimal Phone is based on a customized version of Android 13 and uses the MediaTek MT6769 SoC. It has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The front camera has a resolution of 8 MP and the main camera 16 MP, of which the latter comes with flash. Bluetooth and WiFi for both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands are supported. NFC, GPS and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor are also included, as are a compass and gyroscope.

A fingerprint sensor? 16 MP camera? This is just a regular phone with a worse display. The 2009 BlackBerry Tour had 128MB of RAM and a 3.2 MP camera, and it was high end. I realize there just isn’t a market anymore for a device that doesn’t have these features that could be priced under $400, but it really speaks to a lack of imagination in the industry.

you can’t even get him to host it daily? at this point just shutter the show. there’s plenty of people doing good lib/progressive political comedy (and way more doing it badly), but a legacy network like Comedy Central has nothing to offer them.

Today I learned of the Pyongyang Metro. Their trains are really cute!

the biggest difference is that hamas isn’t threatening to destroy the schools and hospitals that israel is bombing

until they show us a photo of it i still think he ate it, and this is a cover up

Sounds pretty fun! Maybe you’ve already thought about this, but as she begins to learn to read, maybe y’all could have fun learning the Pokemon card game together? It already is designed as a sort of simplified version of Magic, where you only have one creature out at a time, there’s no interacting on an opponent’s turn, you can take all the game actions you want during your turn until you attack, and defeated Pokemon are “knocked out” rather than killed. Also from what I can tell, events at many local game stores are family-friendly and well-attended.
