I tracked my rank in Standard ladder, mostly turtle pack, 8 player, same pack. Ranked came out on 9/5, starting at 1500 and I ended at 1700 on 9/30.

I’m mostly an arena player, mainly playing either the newest pack when it comes out or the weekly pack. I have a ton of games in turtle arena (1001 according to stats), but hadn’t played it in a while when ranked first came out. The first day of ranked was certainly pretty wild, I gained 70 elo in my first few games because most players seemed to be unfamiliar with versus and playing around your opponent. Then, as other players figured out some good strats I went on a pretty bad losing streak and got back to close 1500 again before figuring out how to consistently win in ranked.

Good point, it was too tempting to consider. Running a m1 or m2 mini seems like a better idea, but the allure of that much hardware for the price was too much to pass up

 
 

Picked up a 12 core and an 8 core with 64gb ram, both with d700 GPUs for a steal (150 each). Was thinking of running the 12 core as a server and maybe another as a dedicated router running pfsense and connecting a thunderbolt raid array for local media and jellyfin? Havent done any home server/homelab stuff before so was wondering if there were any Mac server things worth running or if I should just format them to run Ubuntu or something.

Probably? The only thing that could potentially be a hold up would be the critical mineral and battery sourcing bit, but from a cursory google search it seems like rivian sources batteries from SK so that should be fine

Watched it a few days ago, honestly it wasn’t as bad as the box office would make you believe. Some thoughts:

  • the CGI was really quite bad for such a big budget movie
  • I’m a sucker for flashpoint type movies, which definitely made me more biased towards it
  • I’m starting to get really tired of multiverse cameo heavy movies like this (including across the spiderverse)
  • Kara wasn’t as compelling as I’d hoped
  • Ezra Miller is a garbage human being

Overall I did enjoy it for the most part, it coukdbr been better but given DC’s track record this was actually in the top 25% of dc projects

Wow hard to imagine that after the deadliest war in human history at the time that people would be hesitant to kill others in peacetime.

Also in countries without easy access to guns but with high levels of gun control and thriving black markets (like Mexico) they experience a fraction of school shootings compared to the us. That’s without even taking into account the sheer material differences between the two countries, with Mexico having a significantly higher poverty rate compared to the us.

Not only is this a unpopular opinion, it’s also a fucking stupid one too.

19 Countries with the Most School Shootings (total incidents Jan 2009-May 2018 - CNN):

United States — 288 Mexico — 8

Gun control in Mexico:

Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León. It also takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.

Loved Mr Robot, but I think most of the genius of that show came from Sam Esmail. One of the biggest drivers for that show was an air of mystery and intrigue which Secret Invasion doesn’t have at all. Instead of showing skrulls impersonating people from the first episode, they should’ve literally not shown a single skrull until episode 5 to make you question who is and isn’t a skrull. On top of that, having both the skrull and non-skrull versions of the characters out and about would be great for driving speculation, intrigue, buzz, etc. Trying to figure out why there’s inconsistency in how characters act and interact with each other could’ve made it a much more engaging show but Marvel really dumbed it down.

Round 28 YEEESH good job!! First sloth achievement on this community!

So no oyster + tapir + mushroom + pill? I’ll give that a shot next

[–] winebaths 1 points 1 year ago

that was skootie’s explanation for this pack, make it easy to roll for sloth and then hopefully later in the week there would be enough sloths in the pool that you would be able to anglerfish it

 

Took maybe 3 attempts to get to the infinite tapir/mushroom/pill combo, probably rolled over 1000 times that game (24 gold for each pill), double lioness (level 3 and 2) early was key to staying alive in the late game

I think the dump truck full of cash convinced him otherwise

Leeja Miller’s channel is great in general, she started with a bit more ambiguous political positioning but here more recent videos have a much more apparent leftist bent

Skilled Vs unskilled labor is just capitalistic bullshit to pin the working class against each other. All labor takes skill and should be respected
