  • While I can’t speak to the amount itself (somehow the industry as a whole settled on 30%), I do think it’s fair to say that Steam, the App Store, and the Play Store aren’t just payment processors. They also are platforms for users to discover new software/games, and they do a lot of advertising for developers. I can agree with the fee being too high, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare it with PayPal, which only processes the payments.

    Ball Lightning is in Standard, it’s in Foundations.

    Assuming SOA is like the original Strixhaven archive cards (and I’d be shocked if it weren’t), Berserk won’t be standard legal.

    In the original Strixhaven set, being reprinted in STA didn’t make a card legal in standard. Instead, standard legal cards (from other sets) were reprinted below rare, and cards not already legal in standard were reprinted as rare or above.

    Notably, SOA includes Monstrous Rage at uncommon. It would be standard legal if it weren’t banned. The set may have been designed and finalized before it was banned, resulting in it appearing at all as an uncommon in SOA.




  • For roughly the price of a single 9800x3d*, you can buy a complete laptop with a long lasting battery and decent enough specs for web browsing, video playback, and basic office work. It’s unfortunately one of the better devices on the market at that price, especially accounting for the battery life.

    *Edit: okay the processors came down in price. Fine, the cost of a kit of decent DDR5 memory, then.

    Apple selling a ‘repairable’ and low-end device just looks like a recession indicator to me.

    One of the few, I take it?








  • My point was more along the lines of online being impractical. Sure, you can still connect to servers running old software (in which case kernel updates aren’t useful to you anyway), but anything with modern security or software is going to just not run at all on it, whether because the software is too heavy for the processor or because it simply was not compiled for it (and cannot be).

    Point is, I think we both agree that the only reasonable usecase for these processors is offline or on a separate network (LAN/tunneled/etc).
