Fun fact: if the learning curve is steep, then it’s rising up a lot in a small amount of time. In order words, a steep learning curve means a lot of learning happens quickly!

Fedora’s key selling point is being up to date and extremely boring. It’s mainly just off-the-shelf software, with minimal niche custom software. Flathub and Steam are available from the setup process. It’s the most Linux Linux that Linuxes today.

Edit: the bonus is that Red Hat being a sponsor means that the biggest improvements to the Linux desktop come to Fedora first. That’s what happened with PipeWire.

Portal 2’s level editor

I think the video I linked in the post would demonstrate the benefits better than me writing here. I agree that the look of Portal 2 has long-lasting appeal, but P2CE introduces improved lighting and graphics rendering inspired by Source 2 while still being Source 1. Otherwise, the improvements are mainly technical, like removing signature “Source spaghetti” engine limitations.

The real killer feature is that it reorganizes Portal 2 under the hood to be very mod- and custom campaign-friendly, so it will be the Portal enthusiast’s dream platform.

Here’s a video from the P2CE channel that shows the lighting changes in a bit more detail.

You’ll miss out on the plot of 1 that sets up for 2, but for gameplay, you would be fine. But if 1 crashes, you better hope 2 works well.

Bad memories of Ixalan limited where Skullduggery was a very cheap way to really mess up combat math

That’s more of a sploot.

Please let this be a normal field trip…

Two Fucking Phyrexian Arenas

Is it time for 5-color green?

I’d rather not have foils because they’re more delicate and I have to take more care to prevent them from curling.

When I used to play constructed formats, I’d sometimes entertain the thought of getting foils of only certain key cards as a signal to help me recognize them faster. I had a similar thing with my old Modern Tron deck, where my Tron lands were the only white-border cards, so they were really easy to pick out while searching my library. I never ended up doing that with foils, though.

2 mana Phyrexian Arena with a small upside instead of a small downside sounds a bit above rate.

That’s a pretty cool design.

Path to Exile in shambles

⚠️ Fireball in Limited alert

Better than Hypothesizzle, but probably not as fun to play

What turning into an otter does to you

For Steam games (and non-Steam games launched through Steam), you can use Steam’s controller settings to expand the dead zones. Not the most universal solution, though.
