lightning helix (E: this probably doesn't count as red)

I have CX 300 IIs as earbuds for on the move, PX 200s that I use at work and as travel headphones, and maybe 10 year old HD 212 Pros for over-ears at my main desk (on their second replacement cable). The CX300s don't last super long, but for the amount they cost, that's not a huge deal. I need...

I swear by Sennheiser headphones, so, whichever of those.

King of Tokyo maybe? Sneaks and Snitches? Small World might be a bit game-y, but also in that sort of wheelhouse. Unrelatedly, the X-wing minis game is awesome.

Anotak and I are hanging out in our shiny new irc chatroom. Easy-mode irc is here: http://cgiirc.synirc.net/irc.cgi

My experience with graphic designers is that they shouldn't be allowed to design things. This may just be the one company we work with though.

Yeah, youtube gets a low res version out first, then reencodes them up to higher resolutions, to the best of my understanding.

Ooh, I didn't know it was called that. Nice. I'm more likely to complain to our graphic designers given I am the programmer though :)

Apple's UI guidelines say that any UI buttons should have the verb to perform on them (ie: keep/mulligan) so that you can't misinterpret what will happen if you yes/no or yes/cancel or whatever.

I'm on both of those already ^^

I do IRC. Lets do IRC.

Hypothetically, is this both a good goal and a good jumping off point, and in the middle you figure out how to bridge them via experimenting with the imbalances in colour to find the imbalances in the cube?

I read/am still reading a book on this (Playing the World, Jon Peterson), which is fascinating to see how it came about, and how it developed from earlier games, and developed further into primitive wargames, into the Kriegspiel of Prussia and Germanic traditions, and that's as far as I've got...

Ladies and gentlemen, modo cube!

Oh. Oh shit. Oh. Goddamn what. And fucking bolas to top it off? This deck could only be better if it also maindecked cruel ultimatum (nb: this is probably false). I keep looking at it and finding more ridiculous bullshit. What. Fucking modo cube. E: is that yawgmoth's will that's...

Incidentally, it looks like there are three broad themes of auras: removal (including control magics), legit auras and 'we have no idea how to template this ridiculous reanimation spell'. I assume we're most interested in the middle one here? The other two seem to have fairly well defined niches?

Much like everything else in cube, your environment determines what's good in the environment. If you have enchantresses, oath of the ancient wood, etc to encourage playing enchantments in general, heroic dudes and hexproof dudes to incentivise carrying them, and rancors, bestow dudes and totem...

I suspect beneficial auras are inversely proportionally as good as removal. If your removal is too good, auras are going to die hard, but then if your cube is too aggro, you need your removal to be pretty good. I think you need a pretty lowish power level, or some really good synergies to get...

So I thought that CM- er... the GSZ author had the best article, but not the best suggestion(s). I think the best suggestions are metamorph, GSZ, scuttlemutt and tinker. All of them clearly require some designing the cube around, but, you know, that's fine. I do disagree on power level ground...

As someone who does make their own games: original versions of games suck balls. You might be able to go 'something here is good' and 4 sweeping iterations later you might get something non-awful to start actually iterating on and caring about. That process is hella fun in and of itself though.
