Dehtraen posted:I can tell the difference in languages outside of the different versions of Chinese, I just can't remember what I snagged off the top of my head in the movie theater line for Rogue One outside of the ones i specifically mentioned. I was really pumped about the Conflagrate (especially since the English copies are in the glass display priced individually instead of in bulk), Hooting Mandrills playset, and the almost playset of Reality Acid. I need to go back when I have more time and pick through the rest. I really want to find some more SoI checklist cards preferably in Russian. There seemed to be a ton of planar chaos, oddly enough... I passed through a bunch of Rathi Trappers.

Hellsau posted:I understand that they want to limit the number of concurrent matches from spiking too high. Limiting the capacity of the league does not solve that. If a league is full and someone wants to play, they'll just go into the single queues, which will start a draft and another set of matches. I don't know if you're purposefully being dense here or what, but I didn't mention limiting concurrent player matches. Let's assume through a bug or malicious attack players are joining leagues infinitely. Infinite is bad. Finite is good. Ergo you have finite caps and allocations of resources. The match servers are almost definitely different than the league server, too, so concurrent users isn't a league specific issue. Whether or not their reasoning and numbers are good ideas requires way more access to information than we have.

The Packers and the Lions are guaranteed playoff spots if they tie but otherwise the loser will miss the playoffs. I wonder if they considered writing "ID" on their match slips and handing them to Roger Goodell. I mean, c'mon guys, its the smart play!

Because WoTC isn't publishing any articles this week there's nothing to get mad and angrily message Rosewater on tumblr about, a process known as a Mad Phase. Normally every day WoTC does something and we get mad at it then we get mad at people getting mad (Mad Phase 2 or Post-content Mad Phase). Getting mad at the absence of things at which to get mad only lasts one Mad Phase. We're having to pass Mad Phases without doing anything, which is a total feelbad move.

How I tell Asian language cards apart and how everyone should: have at least some knowledge of Asian languages. Like lol I'm that dirty kind of Americanized Chinese that can only fluently speak Shanghaihua and can barely read or write any Chinese but Chinese and Japanese and Korean are very distinct from each other and it's obvious when you're looking at Taiwanese cards because Traditional Chinese is way more stroke-dense. I mean you can make an argument for Japanese cards using Chinese characters but Hiragana is way less stroke-dense than any Chinese characters and are a majority of the characters on Japanese cards, also Magic cards use Furigana (the little Hiragana characters over the Chinese characters that tell you the correct way to read them in Japanese language that real Japanese text wouldn't use because Magic is after all a game for young children).

Yeah, at least with Korean the difference from Japanese and Chinese is incredibly obvious, so learning how the latter two differ shouldn't take much work.

Foreign-language cards are a goofy aesthetic affectation akin to wearing a dragon t-shirt or playing Blue Tron.

I figured by that point, WotC would have had their non-English poo poo standardized but apparently not.
