She shuts off so much in the format -- I've had folks concede the game when they realize none of their removal works any more.

siegerhino Link ParentWhat kind of pioneer decks have you been enjoying lately? I usually play Greasefang, but the rise of Spirits as a top competitive deck has made it a really poor meta choice.What kind of pioneer decks have you been enjoying lately?

I got to attend an RCQ a fee weeks back as well, which had a fantastic sense of nostalgia for the old PTQs I used to attend a decade ago.

Comment on Thoughts on making Tildes groups more independent in ~tildes.official

You can still keep broad, default groups for logged-out folks, and let niche groups dive deep into their interests at the same time. Being able to opt-out of default groups is nice too -- I like most of the topics being discussed, but I'm not interested in sports, so turning that off was a benefit.
My time on reddit was, far and away, browsing content related to Magic the Gathering. I've had some great interactions with folks within the Tabletop Games weekly thread, but it feels inappropriate for me to, say, make a deep-dive post discussing the deck I played at my local tournament last week, since that isn't relevant to the bulk of users here. But if there was an opt-in group when I could post it to? I'd feel at home.

Comment on What board games have you played this week (to 12th June)? in ~games.tabletop

I've been playing 60 card formats for the better part of two decades now, but know that I'm in the minority compared to 100 card enjoyers.
Maybe it makes sense to make a spoiler thread when new sets are being spoiled? I think Commander Masters spoilers start up in a couple weeks. -

Got to know some people's lives in depth without ever knowing their real names, and as an otherwise lonely person during my formative years, they were a lifesaver.

You only need 1 subscriber to boot up a private server, and they can invite up to 7 friends.
I paid for the subscription during covid lockdown as it was how I spent a TON of my time, and it was great. But for $13/month it's not worth it for a game I only fire up occasionally. -

The bad ending is the admins take more direct control of the offlined subreddits and force them back open. Changes are brewing either way.

Comment on Not entirely sure how to fill the void Reddit has left in ~talk

But it's closed down, so I guess my options are either 1) visit one of the corporate-owned media outlets, or 2) be in the dark. :(
The API change isn't a shutdown either, it's that the apps using it will start accruing usage charges. RIF stopped working at midnight GMT this morning because the app itself was updated to stop working.
The API is still there, it is just priced out of existence for any reasonable use cases.
