There is a clear mechanism for why they got crushed. Stats ideally uncover mechanisms, but that isn’t necessary here. Jet lag is a bitch, and you best respect her.

Is this a good cop/bad cop thing or is there a communication disconnect?

Gotcha, your claims are valid without evidence or argument. I’m disappointed I spent my time explaining my reasoning with someone who won’t provide the same courtesy. I’d say nice talking with you, but…

I don’t understand. You are claiming the high ground without evidence.

If the new heroes are busted, yes. MST was bad. If you weren’t playing MST, you were having a bad time. Everyone had to fight for MST cards. Cost of entry skyrocketed. People quit the game because they couldn’t play their heroes. This is all the inverse of why I said I prefer this meta.

Kano was also bad! Non-viable heroes are bad for the game. I already stated my reasoning.

Even if you are right, it still is a matter of players having to overcome the broken thing than find the broken thing. I stated my objective and reasoning behind it.

Please, be serious. It was not a good guardian match-up. It was nuking guardians from orbit. Guardians were literally unplayable. 1/9 classes were not viable. There was no guardian representation at events. There are videos on eye of ophidia. This is verifiable.

My objective is to play a game where as many characters as possible are viable. That gives a wide base of characters for players to grow attached to and lowers prices since demand is spread out. That lowers the cost of entry which makes FAB easier to join. Which is all good for the game.

Why not? They can and they should. Better than waiting and taking a bigger loss down the line.

I’m saying if we want to help build affordable housing, we should help build affordable housing. Not give money to speculators who built literally unaffordable housing. You can’t spend the money twice.

I generally like this Government but I’m going to call out bad policy when I see it. Canada’s residential real estate market has captured too much of investor’s capital. We need to reform our tax system to allow industry to compete for investment, not coddle developers further.

Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
Do you have evidence of this claim? I’m dubious that the developers couldn’t have sold it at 65% themselves. And if they couldn’t have, then the price should drop further. Let the market decide.

Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
I think the meta is great right now. Instead of people having to work to overcome the broken thing, they have to work to find the broken thing. I call that progress. Nuking guardians from orbit with Nuu was not good for the game. Playing with Crayons with Starvo was not good for the game.

You can’t spend the money twice. If you spend it on a bad idea, you don’t have money for a good idea. This is not ‘perfect being the enemy of good’. This is ‘bad being the enemy of the good’. Giving money to rich people is a bad idea. Always has been, always will be.

Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
There are much better ways to spend that money. Vancouver has the Non-Market Housing Development & Operations team. Their explicit role is to build affordable housing. Give them the money instead of developers. Don’t just give money to rich people.

Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
They are giving money to developers. It is directly prioritizing investor speculation. If you can’t sell to the market, sell to the government! It’s a no lose situation for speculators.

This is a bad idea. If they are vacant, then they are too expensive for the market to buy. Why would my tax dollars go pay prices that the market won’t bear? Leave them vacant, let the price drop until they are affordable. Anything else is a tax-payer bailout. Don’t give money to rich people.

The amount of voltage that modern GPUs use essentially prohibit data centers without attached power plants. If people use data centers as a combined term to discuss a warehouse of computers and the associated gas turbines, that is reasonable. Not worth yelling into the internet about.
050
Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
The secondary issue is that new Data Centers need their own power since time to get an interconnection with the grid has grown to years. The power source they select are gas turbines, since they can run 24/7 and relatively easy to get. Gas turbines are basically massive jet engines. F’ing loud.

Wrecko @wrecko.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
The difference is the massive load that modern GPUs require versus traditional CPUs. The primary issue with data centers is that they can consume a lot of water for cooling.

The first question we should ask ourselves in these and all other elections is: Which candidates oppose the inordinate power of the ultra-rich, and which ones accept or encourage it?

I tried to subtly insult someone on Bluesky. They were too dumb to get it. This is why you never negatively engage with idiots. Best you can do is try to educate. I knew this already. Hopefully I’m more consistent moving forward.

More Arakni’s. Arakni Illusionists, Arakni Necromancers, Arakni Wizards and Arakni Runeblades would fill out the classes that have fewer options and add more Arakni’s. Hunted was the best set. Dynasty second. Only useful metric to grade sets is number of Arakni’s.

My sincere hope is AI lowers the technical burden of creating broadly useful Apps and then ownership becomes a basis of competition. E.g. Don’t like Zuckerberg? There is an co-op equivalent of the Meta product suite that you can join. Extra money after keeping the site running goes to charity.

OpenAI has over $1.2 Trillion in commitments over the next 4 years, not counting net 360 invoices that will be on their books later this year. That is basically 2x the amount of cash that the Magnificent 7 has on hand. Now they have 1 less product to grow their revenue to meet their commitments.

I think there is value to be had with AI and AI at some level will be here to stay but I think a lot of people set a lot of money on fire betting that AI would take over the world.

The AI space generally has capital, but OpenAI is VERY capital constrained. And if one of the biggest goes down the entire space will feel it. Cory Doctorow has a good piece about the importance of the story to AI and the tech sector generally. pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...

These AI companies need a story of massive growth opportunities to keep asking for money. The fact they shut down one of their products is a significant setback because their other products have to do even better now to support the story. It’s a big deal because their story is unravelling.

I went 3-0 (2nd 3-0 ever!) On Rhinar, Reckless Rampage 1) Oscilio - They didn’t see their Wobbles and I rushed them down. 2) Vynnset - I put every blue I had in the deck and fatigued them. 3) Boltyn - Managed to starve their soul and found my BRBs before they found their Lumina’s. Better lucky.

Google Gemini accurately noting that a higher proportion of Fox News viewers are felons than the proportion of immigrants that are felons.

Trump got money for a private police force and corporate concentration camps? Dems better be building affordable housing at an unprecedented scale. Trump removing vaccine mandates? Dems better implement pharmacare, dental care, or even better, nationalize the health care system.

The only good thing I can say about the Trump presidency is that he is showing what the federal government can do if they want to. When the Democrats get in power they need to show as much, if not more, initiative making the country better than Trump has making the country worse.
