The normal cycling cost, with no effect, is 2, or sometimes one colored mana. The only two cards with cycling 1 that I could find are Drannith Stinger, from this set, and Ash Barrens (which has basic landcycling).

The PS5 actually has really good compression tech. They’re using the algorithm from RAD’s “Kraken” compressor, which is one of (if not the) best compression algorithm in use, especially for the game asset domain. There’s a reason you see a RAD logo on a lot of games’ startup sequences.

Does anyone make M.2 drives that can hit 5.5GB/s? I haven’t kept too close an eye on SSDs but I couldn’t find any in a quick search. And that’s 2GB/s faster than my own desktop, which is not exactly a budget build.

CPU: Effectively a tie, depending on whether that “3.5GHz” is a baseline or boost clock. No significant difference either way.

Not yet, but I can write one for you.

“320mb” memory bus? I know that’s what the source article says but there’s no way that’s right. It’s probably a “320-bit” bus - large, but not infeasibly so. The widest memory buses I’ve seen were the 4096-bit (or 4kb) ones on Vega 20, and they were using HBM which trades bus clock for bus width. The widest GDDR*…

I dunno, the store I buy all my Pathfinder and Magic stuff is the same place I go every week to play them, so a Gamestop that’s also a perpetual LAN party might work.

Any software that existed for it would have been only prototypes. AFAIK none have been found, and I would not be surprised if none ever are. They would have been seen as disposable test articles - burn it, throw it out when there’s a new build. Depending on how serious they were about security, they may even have…

This is actually why a lot of games have separate categories. Many (perhaps even most) speedrunners don’t enjoy doing runs like this - they’re gamers, they’re here to game. Runs like this get pushed by the sort of programmery nerds that treat the game as a software puzzle to solve, rather than a sport to get good at.…

For Ocarina of Time specifically, Japanese and (American) English have the same glitches - while there is a 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 version (each revision fixing more bugs), the Japanese and North American builds of each are the same, save for a single byte to tell it which localization to use. There’s also the 1.0 and 1.1 PA…

Black is getting answers to enchantments now. Not the best (definitely behind green+white), and so far fairly few, but it’s getting them. So far it’s been in the form of forced sacrifice - they don’t want Black getting targeted removal, because they like making deal-with-a-devil enchantments that would be too good if…

Look, if you’re going to be a pedantic twit about something, at least make sure you’re correct.

Falcon is equipped with a flight termination system, which can trigger a vehicle destruction either autonomously (if it leaves the defined flight corridor) or remotely by the Range Safety Officer. This did happen with the last F9R test flight back in 2014 - they were testing it to the limits of its controllability,…

You could still fake that by inserting a delay. The Moon is just over a light-second away, easily simulated by audio gear (like the echo pedals used by guitarists), some acoustic delay lines (as used on early computers), or even just a big spool of wire, all of which existed at the time. (Well, the guitar stuff was in…

The question of “are Tesla shares worth $500+?” depends on how long you plan to hold them.

Oh ffs, even here I can’t get away from this bullshit “GDQ is full of *drama*” narrative?

I wonder what the oldest game of mine that has any surviving copy is?

The niche for hydrogen is probably mass transport - city buses, cargo trucks, trains (that for whatever reason can’t be externally powered electric).

From a technical perspective, I’m more concerned about the severe pressure than the hydrogen’s flammability. A 700bar (10KPSI) tank is a bomb waiting to go off, even with an inert gas. The flammability is a risk mostly during fueling - I don’t know if I trust consumer-facing, low-budget fueling stations to keep…

I wouldn’t say “full of shit” so much as “savvy”.
