At least from the limited sample size of results, the rules text seems like garbled than other models in the mtg card generating space. Curious if you're able to first generate a few mechanics, and then have it design an entire set (either bottom-up or top-down). I'm sure balancing is not something Gen AI can do properly... but I imagine this can really change how set designers approach new worlds or mechanics!


Don't forget about the visitor counter perl scripts!

Some stars survive supernovae, and are known as zombie stars [1]. One believed example is SN2012Z [2]

Here I was thinking "zombie star" was another term for ANY stellar remnant like a white dwarf or neutron star.


Neat! Thanks for sharing! Space is crazy :)


More infectious: easier to spread & catch Less virulent: less harmful when caught


Magic: the Gathering.

Started playing very casually before stepping into a more competitive scene. It's both strategic (intersection between poker and chess) as well as creatively expressive (deckbuilding/theorycrafting).

Downsides: $$$


Why people don't just play with fake cheap cards?


They can. My friend got his whole deck proxied online for about $50

Problem is that it’s worthless to anyone but him.

The cards are expensive but they also hold some relative value (can be resold) and only real cards are legal in tournaments.

That said, for casual games, proxies are growing in popularity and I always say they’re a moral imperative. Only problem is some people use proxies that use non-standard art or borders, which can really hamper the game (or in one case, be incredibly cringe and awful to play against).


That's what we did in high school back in the 90's. Nothing live having five "black lotuses" in your deck.


A part of me wishes the "Bonus: RESTful UI" section at the bottom opened a "Coming soon" modal


Title isn't completely accurate, as the author states they were kneeling bent-over, creating an incline for the food to travel up. That being said, I've never thought of the esophagus was a muscle that could be trained. Very cool!

Edit: there's a 6" riser that the author describes kneeling on, while their head is then lowered closer to the floor, supported by their arm(s).


Maybe I should try this. I've been having trouble with this lately.


>The incline is established by kneeling with the head bowed lower than the stomach

Shouldn't it be upside down if the head is below the center of mass?


I think this would be one way to describe upside down, but my feeling is I wasn't the only one picturing someone fully inverted with feet above head.


Hey now, they're just trying to make enough money to pay their ever-increasing rent! /s


This is an underrated analogy. I'm stealing this.
