What is the motivation on Sway of the Stars? I just don't really see a good use case for it? Restarting the game just feels like a net loss. I would rather just lose to something like Biorhythm and start from 40.
Of course being a game changer doesn't help with that. I would have kept it banned.

A side effect of this is clarifying that a card like Thassa's Oracle should almost never be your win condition in bracket 3, which I think strongly matches the feelings of most players within that bracket.
To answer the question from the article, I would rarely see that, and if I did I asked "why?"

I also really like the indicators about how a player should win the game. That's a big distinction between brackets 2/3/4 that we didn't really have clear indicators for until now. It's not foolproof, but I might have emphasised it even more as it is a bit part of player expectations.

These "expectation" definitions are a HUGE improvement imo. Much clearer about how the game should be played in different brackets. "Average turns to lethal" is a really useful indicator in most situations and probably the most important factor in whether players feel that they had a decent game.

You could rule zero anything. The purpose of the brackets/game changers/banlist system is to define some "default" expectations that usually work for most people and help with communication. It was always easy to know that Urza or Yuriko were high power commanders, so limiting them was unnecessary.

They gotta update their tags lmao.

Overall I do wish we would not need this. We should want people to be happy and give them the tools to live their best lives even if it does not create any money.

But when we have such clear evidence that it would be hugely "profitable" to support them, there is no reason not to do it.

Not sure if I should point and laugh at X users who are getting spicy content blocked...
Or cry because I had to do ID verification and they didn't...

They are using "X", I will always point and laugh.

It's so ridiculous to me when streamers get mad at their viewers for not giving them more money.
That's like a farmer getting mad at his crops for not growing... It's his job to provide for them so that they grow.
Donations are earned. If you didn't get them, that's on you.

I might be bias, but I think this is the greatest thing I've ever written.

Got my @bipsygg.bsky.social plush let's goooooooo

Yes that is the @suliadh.bsky.social desk mat underneath, gotta get the whole family.

Man how is it that the graduations aren't even the worst thing happening? 😭

Ngl with the blurry image quality and the lighting I would never have guessed these 2 pictures are the same person. Even your skin tone looks different.😂

Ah well fuck

Did you ever get an answer to this?

I also wanna say that putting other streamers down might benefit you, but it is bad for your audience.
Your audience enjoys other streamers, and whilst you don't have to help other streamers, hurting them hurts your audience.
As a streamer, your audience should be your first priority.

Yippeeeeeee

The lies about vaccines are stupid and dangerous, but I'm more scared of the general vilification of autism.
RFK says there is an autism "epidemic" and it's worse than COVID.
That's insane. I am not a plague. I am a person. My existence should not be something to try and prevent.

I have always hated the idea that vtubers should view each other as competition rather than friends or at least coworkers.
A competitive mentality might help you grow, but it will poison your friendships and when the results of that poison get out you will lose everything.
Make real friends instead

Don't forget the thigh highs!

Honestly idk how much you're trolling or not but you have my support 200%. I can't say the same for a lot of people these days, but the ones who matter are the ones who stand by you.

I am not a plague. I am not a miserable victim of medical mistakes. I am a person. An autistic person, and no worse for it. I am only worse for the intolerance of idiots who cannot accept my differences.

The misinformation that RFK is putting out about vaccines is dangerous lies that will lead to children dying, but these are old lies.
I am more personally offended by his assertions that a world with an increasing number of autistic people would be terrible and we desperately need to prevent it.

I'm extremely disappointed that this didn't turn into yaoi.

You should be okay! So long as border control doesn't think that you're trans or non-white it's very unlikely that they would give you any trouble. An awful truth but not a problem for you.

Tohsaka Asagi, where do I know that name from?

Oh!

I honestly hadn't even thought about which site is best. I use AO3, is that a bad choice? The site does feel very dated, would I have better discoverability elsewhere?

I love this but where is her rapier? I gotta see what I'm gonna be stabbed with???
