The invocations are.... Bad.
The cards are great and are stupid powerful, but i want nothing to do with them because the hieroglyphic text and the borders detract from the card.
Like if it was something minor, sure, but this actively look nothing like magic cards and look like someone wrote a shitty fan fiction where yugi moto started playing magic the gathering and became a planes walking dragon. On top of being shitty, thrown together looking playing cards

Considering my top-of-mid-end Pc at the time (and bottom of mid end gpu) lasted me this long without upgrading anything in between, getting one that's much higher end might mean I can go longer and even upgrade minimally.
I don't even know why I consider the streaming part realistically though; it's not like the general TL audience is anywhere near what it was years ago. It's like all the research I did into overclocking with my last pc, when I never ended up doing anything with it (the reason I'm not getting the K series this time).
I have all of these intentions and they all just end up going to waste. I probably should just get the i5 but I know myself and I bet I'll end up with the i7.
Gotta min/max and then never use max, hue. I got an i5-6600k and overclocked it initially, and then put it back at stock at some point. Trying to cut down on my electricity bill a bit, ha. Honestly I doubt the difference between an i5 and a i7 would be that noticeable unless you're doing really CPU intensive stuff. Unless you're dropping a grand or so on the i7, at which point I probably would just get Ryzen CPU instead.

I bought a Google Pixel on Malaysias version of Amazon.
Who thinks this will ultimately be a bad idea?

Finally starting to schedule viewings for new places to live. It feels a bit early (lease doesn't end til May 31), but anxiety will take over if I wait much longer.
Feels good to be making little bits of progress.
also (since I don't think I've posted about it here yet) - Kerbal Space Program is fantastic. I've got a science ship orbiting the Mun with a passenger ship set to orbit it soon as well. Still haven't done the tutorial to land on foreign planets yet, but I'm enjoying career mode so far.
Shit's hard as hell and I haven't figured out spacecraft building or the best way to do unmanned satellites. Kinda trying to figure out as much as I can without outside help.

Just buy it when it comes out. 99% of shit you're excited about now won't be exciting after like 1 week anyway. The cards are never relatively cheap man.

It makes the cards a lot more expensive than F2P tho.

It's less money to BUY OVERWATCH than it is to preorder the set and not get anything.
Hearthstone is dead anyway.

Eternal is where it's at. New set coming soon hype
Also just got into Gwent beta, though I won't be able to play it until my parts come in and build is complete.
Oh yeah and until my son starts sleeping at night.
|
I'm kind of lukewarm on eternal. Going to wait to see what this new set is like since it's hard to judge it just on one set. What I've seen I'm not too happy with.
Gwent is pretty fun since it's quite different. It has the same card pool issues as eternal but at least no limited which is a nice bonus.
|
The new HS mechanics are pretty interesting. Meta will probably end up filthy but I'm really interested in trying out some of the cards.

I mean, as far as I can tell, the biggest downside with Eternal is its relative infancy, right? It is everything that MODO should have been, just unfortunately without the legastic (totally a word) backbone of MTG

Numy just hates new-age TCG design and the fact that draft is the primary way to earn cards.

I just think limited and constructed fight each other for design space. More often than not new-age TCG design sacrifices constructed health for good limited environments. I understand that from a business sense as limited "validates" the pack method of sale but from someone that likes constructed it's rather disappointing.
As I said initially, Eternal only has one real set so it's too early to really judge. If the new set doesn't really do much to improve that health of constructed then I'm pretty out of it. The fact that their patching philosophy seems to push certain archetypes that all the TCGs are pushing is a bit worrisome though.
In an ideal world I think there's a space for "new-age" TCG midrange fests and older school more "combo/spell" focus. It's just currently people are too far off to one side instead of trying to reach a middle ground. Then they justify this through some weird ass logic. We've seen MTG have some really awesome high powered limited environments yet the go to is 95% cards are draft chaff in any given set. This is just poor design imo.
