2024.05.16 14:31 marksism__ My open source android apps and not so android apps that some of them I'd like to change!

Hi all!
As the title states here are some of my reccomendations and what I can improve on.
Open source:
Atennapod: podcast app
Apktool: used for modifying apps (do your own research)
Audile: Shazam alternative, that actually points links to multiple streaming services not just apple music.
Aurora Store: google play alternative
Bitwarden: use to store passwords
Ente photos: Open source platform that's encrypted to store photos, looking to self host soon.
F-droid: open source app store
Firefox + Firefox nightly: to browse the internet.
Libretube: YouTube alternative, great when the server your connected to works, again looking to self host soon with piped.video or invidious for myself.
Mullvad VPN: open source VPN which is highly respected for privacy.
Organic maps: use as an offline alternative or when in a foreign country where roaming can be expensive.
Gmaps WV: is a wrapper for the website google maps, although google maps is a bit sketchy it is more reliable than google maps.
Fossify gallery: a photos alternative that looks like google photos
Pocket paint: just a photo editing/doodle app.
Protonmail: a better alternative than gmail.
Scrambled exif: metadata remover, also use this and your photo storage is significantly smaller.
Simplelogin: gives email aliases
xtra: twitch client, you can also login with your twitch account and runs flawlessly.
Signal: a WhatsApp alternative that isn't owned by Facebook.
Non open source apps that I use and some of them I want changed:
Clash of clans: only game I play really with my friends. Not changing this one sorry.
Google camera: until I find a better camera I'm not changing, also I have a degoogled pixel so the firewall has blocked connections.
Discord: don't even use discord that much use it for university projects really.
Banking apps: there isn't really an open source alternative.
Railcard/trainapp tried to use browser for tickets but is more of a hassle.
Snapchat: I see it as a childrens app, but at 21 everyone uses it to communicate, also its the only social media I use. Also I avoid much use of it as possible.
YouTube/tiktok: these apps are modified with vanced, wish I didn't use these but I don't have to give login data to tiktok and until there is a tiktok client out there I'm not deleting. Same with YouTube, until piped/invidious clients improve I can't change.
Hope you enjoyed the long read XD

2024.05.14 00:14 JelllyGarcia Daybell Trial: Testimony from the Idaho supervisors of FBI CAST & ISP Forensics Lab, + Ms. Beaty on prosecution team

Anyone watching this trial?

This is loosely related, but the Daybell case is turning out to be a great source for a preview of what’s to come.
I think there’s a decent chance the same ISP Lab Supervisor and/or FBI CAST Supervisor will be the ones to testify on this case, bc their departments are for state of Idaho & supervisors typically closely oversee processes for high-profile cases & are more equipped to testify.

FBI CAST / CSLI Supervisor - Day 22

(just ended about 45 mins ago at the time I’m posting this)
Note: he’s not shown on screen & is likely using an alias.
Hot take: my guess on why they don’t have the cooperation from the FBI CAST / CSLI team on Kohberger case seems likely to be that they misrepresented or cherry-picked info, which the FBI CAST team isn’t willing to limit their statements to in testimony, & are going back & forth about providing a report limited to that, rather than FBI just stonewalling their request for the data.
That’s ^ my wild guess, not evidenced directly, just a personal opinion on what I think is likely

ISP Lab Supervisor Ms. Dace - Day 20

I was pretty shocked at how much DNA they opted to preserve rather than consume. In this case, what could they possibly need to save it for that would be more important than THIS investigation & trial !!!? - no one wants to clone this dude & taxpayers prob aren’t hoping for a re-do - and especially given that they don’t have even one tiny HINT of Chad’s DNA on anything….!..?..!.? - Yikes - (no fault of Ms. Dace though; she just tests what she’s told to).
(For clarity: I think he obviously played a key role in the kid’s deaths & is guilty of at least conspiracy to commit murder, just now question the strength of the first degree murder charge, not his actual guilt)

Ms. Beaty - special prosecutor from the Kohberger case is on this trial too.

Anyone else watching this one?
— If not, honestly, I do not recommend. This trial is dominated by soft-spoken, slow-speakers lol.
Any other take-aways?
Or questions? (I watched more than most ppl prob have the patience for - it’s kind of like a long version of those old Clear Eyes commercials, but with lots of dead silence in between statements - so I’d be happy to answer if I can)

2024.05.13 18:17 morgawr_ Started a new personal website where I rank games I play by difficulty

Mods, please feel free to delete this thread if you think it's advertising. I'm really not trying to advertise, I gain nothing from this, it's an open source hobby project.
tl;dr - The website: https://gamedb.droid.moe/
Since I spend most of my immersion time playing videogames (1000+ hours last year) and I've always wanted to do some kind of hobby reviews of the games I play, I decided to combine the two things together and sprinkle in a bit of Japanese learning on top, to create a website where I just list the various games I play and provide some comments about them from the point of view of JP learning.
Right now the site is still pretty empty as I'm going back to all the games I played and slowly adding them in, which can take some time as I need to also remember some details I might have forgotten (how hard was it? does it have furigana? does it have voice acting? etc) but I plan to add more and more as I go through new ones too.
Each game listed comes with some commentary about how I felt (from the point of view of JP learning) about it, so people with similar tastes to mine can maybe find them useful.
As for two questions I already imagine some people might have:
  • Why not use jpdb.io/etc? -> because these are my subjective ratings. It's meant to be a personal project with my own personal opinions. It's not an objective comparison using tools like character count, sentence analysis, or whatever other fancy stuff other sites use.
  • Why the site name? -> I already had the domain name registered and I wanted to use it for something, so I just went with it. No real reason.
If you think it's useful and/or if you want to contribute with comments or fixes (the whole thing is open source), you're very welcome!
PS: I'm not a web designer and I wrote this site from scratch with no external help. If you think it looks ugly, it's probably because it is, but we'll survive.

2024.05.13 16:47 bernarbernuli [TOOL] All-in-One tool for Windows. Android TV Tools v3

[TOOL] All-in-One tool for Windows. Android TV Tools v3
It's a tool for use with any Android TV device (Google TV, Nvidia Shield TV, Google Chromecast...). I have improved it keeping in mind the suggestions for new features and the bugs reported in the previous version,
The post I have uploaded it days before in Chromecast because in this subreddit the post was automatically rejected (although I'm not encouraging piracy or anything like that) and recently they have given me a solution to upload it here, so excuse the duplicity of the post for those who are members of both subreddit.

    • Lots of aesthetic improvements.

Requirements

  • Windows O.S.
  • Have the ADB drivers installed. Here is the link to download them. During installation, make sure to enable the "Add to System Path Environment" option. Here you have more information about ADB drivers. If you don't have ADB drivers installed, they are automatically downloaded and installed as soon as you open Android TV Tools.
  • Connect the TV device to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • On the TV device, go to Settings > system > About and tap "Build Number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Then go to Settings > system > developer options and enable "USB debugging".

Considerations

  • The tool is available in English (EN) and Spanish (ES).
  • Tested on Google TV with Chromecast, please give feedback on other TV devices.
  • With Windows 10 and Windows 11 it is fully compatible and functional. Running the tool on Windows 7 or lower is partially functional, as there are some instructions that it does not interpret on older Windows.
  • To find out the IP address of the TV device, just go to Settings > Networks and Internet > "Your Wi-Fi network". Under that option, you will see the IP. It is also in Settings > System > Status.
  • You can use the tool in multitasking mode, i.e. you can for example backup TV device apps while you are applying custom configurations.

Use of Android TV Tools in offline environment

If you are going to run the tool without an internet connection, download Aux Files for Android TV Tools.rar and unzip the file in the same folder as Android TV Tools vXX.exe, as the tool makes use of several auxiliary files such as:
  • cmdmax.exe (for resizing the tool's windows).
  • ScrCpy (for viewing and controlling your TV device from your PC)
  • Universal Android Debloater (to remove bloatware)
In addition, ADB drivers are included, so there is no need to install them to use Antroid TV Tools.
Folder with Android TV Tools.exe + Aux Files

Does Android TV Tools contain Malware?

The tool is 100% clean and safe, of course it does not send any personal information to any remote server, however Antivirus software in recent times has become much more sensitive especially in the engines used in Virustotal.com so some Anti-Virus engines detect Android TV Tools as some kind of Malware I guess because it matches a certain pattern, logically to users of the tool this creates concern especially if it is detected by 39 of 72 engines as happened when launching Android TV Tools v2. The only solution is to contact each of the anti-virus companies via questionnaire or email so that they can reanalyze the file and normally in less than 48 hours you receive a response from the companies informing you that it is indeed a false positive and that they will update the engine. In the case of those 39 engines detecting some type of malware, and after countless emails they were reduced to 4 engines, I must say that these 4 Anti-Virus companies neither answer (neither for good nor for bad) nor update their engines correcting the false positive, these are DeepInstinct, Rising, SkyHigh and TrapMine. It's like hitting a wall, it's very frustrating.
Please, if Android TV Tools is detected as malware/virus by your Anti-virus software or detected by VirusTotal.com engines inform me as soon as possible, I for my part commit myself to be aware of the analysis in VirusTotal.com to avoid alerts in Anti-virus engines. Here is a link to a contact directory of VirusTotal.com antivirus engines if anyone wants to collaborate and send emails to reanalyze the tool, I would appreciate it because this issue of false positives takes a lot of my time.
  • File : Android TV Tools V3_EN.exe
  • Algorithm : MD5
  • Hash : 1884D18FA16AB3DC46EB33599D76F2B7
  • Web virustotal.com

Where to download?

- Android TV Tools v3
- Aux Files for Android TV Tools (See "Use Android TV Tools in offline environment")

Method

  1. Download and unzip in a folder the file from the "Where to download" section.
  2. Make sure you meet all the points in the "requirements" section.
  3. Locate the IP address of the TV device, as explained in the "considerations" section.
  4. Run Android TV Tools and enter the IP address.
  5. A notification will probably appear on the TV device asking "Allow USB debugging?", select "Always allow from this computer" and re-enter the IP address in the tool.
  6. In the tool, choose a function to run and follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Porting code to Linux and Mac via Java or Python.
Android TV Tools
Main menu
Voice commands and more

I share this tool for free, to code the tool as it is now having taken me quite some time, I just ask for some feedback for the one who download it and try it.
If you are going to use it, please comment what you think or what bugs you see or what new features you suggest. Any opinion is interesting.

Hacking Apps for Android

A hacking app is a tool that can be used to test the security of your phone. It allows you to find out if your device has been compromised and if so, how it happened.
These apps are useful for finding out if there are any security vulnerabilities in your device. But they don’t provide any direct protection against attacks like malware or viruses.

1. AndroRAT

AndroRAT is a remote administration tool for Android devices. It has the ability to send commands to a device, and to download files from it. AndroRAT can also change the phone’s settings, and show the user’s location on a map.
It is a free and open-source Java-based client/server application developed to give remote control of the Android system for retrieving information.
It was created by a team of 4 for a university project and includes functionalities such as getting call logs, contacts, messages, and location (by GPS/Network), taking pictures from the camera, streaming video and sound from the microphone, making calls, and opening URLs in the default browser.

2024.05.13 07:09 andre_judd Store Champs Winner Tournament Report (Tabletop Village, Seattle, WA)

Hey folks. I just wrapped up a Store Champs tournament with Sabine Green, resulting in a win! Though I've consumed lots of content about SWU, this was my first actual tournament, so winning the whole thing was awesome. With my passion still burning when I got home, I decided to write a small tournament report and give some basic thoughts on Sabine Green. This report is written in a sort of old-school MTG tournament report style, something I've wanted to do but never did playing competitive Magic. Anyway, for those who want to read it while looking at the decklist, my list and the write-up are here:
https://swudb.com/deck/view/mEMNIVvwJ
Otherwise, here's the report!
I took this Sabine Green list to a first place finish at Tabletop Village in Seattle, Washington. The event was ran very well, with 27 participants resulting in 4 rounds of swiss before a cut to top 8. The meta was pretty interesting and I had quite a few hard matchups, so going to post some basic thoughts on Sabine Green and a quick tournament report.
BASIC THOUGHTS:
I was practicing exclusively Sabine Yellow before this event. Was enjoying it for the most part, but I realized that the games I lost in testing all followed a similar play pattern: get slightly behind on board, have very few catchup mechanics, and have many events like Surprise Strike stuck in hand because sticking a unit was difficult. This was most apparent playing against Boba Yellow and Luke Green. I often thought that if I could just attack with ONE unit the turn I played it, I could then maintain claim over the initiative and resume my role as the aggressor. Playing this tournament confirmed everything I was thinking/noticing. ECL has started to really fall off in the meta, but I now can't imagine playing an aggro deck without ECL. Gaining tempo with ECL often nets you 3 to 6 damage if you can attack into an opposing unit without your Ambush target dying, which makes a world of difference in every matchup, even control. I used to be a Sabine Yellow truther, but now I would not recommend playing Sabine Yellow even a little bit.
MATCHUPS:
R1: Chirrut Red (non-Tarkintown) LL
Rough start to the tourney. I basically hadn't played anyone besides my testing partner, nor had I played against Chirrut. G1 was close-ish, but I couldn't kill Chirrut when he deployed, and in general spent too much time trading into units. G2 I mulliganed a hand with no turn 1 play into the following hand: Wing Leader, K2, Zeb, Rebel Assault x3. Couldn't craft a worse hand if I tried, and my next 2 draws were Dodonna and another K2. GG
R2: Grand Inquisitor Blue (non-Security Complex) WW
Not much to say here. Opponents deck honestly wasn't SUPER well tuned, and their draws in g1 and g2 were on the expensive end. They weren't able to curve out super well, and after I ECL'd a Seventh Sister in g2, the match was essentially over.
R3: Chirrut Red (Tarkintown): WW
My opponent this round was quite skilled. Clearly lots of experience with the deck, and I was nervous after losing R1 to Chirrut Red. Fortunately, my draws were quite good. Their t1 Sabine was met with an ECL'd Battlefield Marine both games followed by a Red Leader, and a Dodonna that forced out their Takedown so that my Sabine Leader was safe. Ultimately my opponent was forced to react to my curve while I got to deploy units and get in lots of early chip damage. Flooding the space Arena was the key to victory in g2.
R4: Chirrut Red (non-Tarkintown): WLW
Okay, is this every Chirrut Red in the room? Turns out, it was. After playing against both Tarkintown and non-Tarkintown, I was happy to see my opponent on the latter. Their list was a bit more midrangey, with Vigilance in the main as a hedge against aggro. G2 they were able to take over the space arena early with Restore Arc + Wingleader, and my ground units weren't quite able to race that. G3 the script was flipped, and A-wing into 2 Wing Leaders was too damage for my opponent to deal with. With that win, I was 3-1 and 6th seed going into top 8.
Quarterfinals: Leia Red (Tarkintown) WW
This matchup is where ECL shined the most. G1 my opponent basically never got to untap with a unit in play for the first 2 turns of the game, and by the time Leia flipped they were already dead. G2 was much of the same, I was lucky to not run into their anti-aggro sideboard cards and took over the game with Dodonna helping my team push a lot of damage. Tarkintown is quite good, but it's no ECL
Semifinals: Palp Blue (30 HP) WW
I hadn't tested against too much control before this tournament with Sabine Yellow, though I had some basic heuristics from watching YT videos that translated well to Sabine Green. Take to the space Arena, get damage in when you can, never resource For a Cause I Believe In. While my opponent admitted this was his worst matchup, I didn't feel relieved by that in the moment. Every decision felt important, and the games felt like I won by the skin of my teeth. Ultimately, I was lucky that my OP never saw Childsen in either game, which allowed my Sabine to do a bit more damage than normal. All 3 copies of For a Cause were played in g2 to seal the deal, bringing me to the much scarier end boss of the tournament.
Finals: Boba Yellow (30 HP) WLW
I knew this would be the ultimate test. Boba Yellow has a good matchup into Sabine, being able to play the control role in the first few turns of the game and then push massive damage with Cunning and Surprise Strike later. Both Bobas are over-statted and hard to kill, but playing into the Space Arena doesn't solve my problems either. To be honest, these games were so tough and decision-intense that I don't remember all the details. G1 I was able to push ground damage early and force my OP to play the control role for JUST long enough that they couldn't push a bunch of damage to my base without fear of losing. Important to note that in this matchup I never pinged with Sabine unless my opponent had already claimed initiative, and even then I was forced to count damage a couple turns ahead to see if I could ping because Cunning is SO much damage out of nowhere. G2 I ended up being 2 points short of lethal while at 1 life. Viper Probe Droid is an annoying unit to stare down on turn 1 because it trades with all your t1 ground plays, and I wish I had mulliganed more aggressively for a turn 1 A-Wing. G3 I finally got to start with the initiative, and if I hadn't I would've lost. I had the turn 1 A-Wing into t2 Red Leader, but my opponents ground presence was quickly presenting a faster clock than my space presence. My Sabine flip was met with a No Good to Me Dead, and at this point I felt like I was clinging on to straws. I did some combat math and realized that if my opponent wasn't able to claim initiative after all of his attacks, I would have exact lethal in space with a Red Leader, a beefed up A-Wing, and the Rebel Assault in my hand. Fortunately math is my strong suit, and after I claimed the initiative and my opponent got 1 last attack in with an 8-powered Boba Leader buffed by Cunning, I showed him the Rebel Assault for exactsies and took down the tournament. What a ride.
If you made it this far, thanks, and I hope you enjoyed the write-up. Thanks to all my opponents for being really nice and cool people, and thanks to Tabletop Village for hosting a sweet event. If you have any questions about my particular list, feel free to comment down below. This list is relatively stock, but I have a few changes I'll be testing down the line as we approach the Washington Summercon 5k next month. Thanks again!!

2024.05.12 22:00 HaroldHGull [Alert, encrypted broadcast, encryption unknown. Playing broadcast]

[recording begin]
The video quality is shoddy at best due to the encryption but you can make out a dimly lit warehouse filled with workers wearing unmarked grey jumpsuits, in the centre there is a table where a very bald man appears to be directing the operations. Everything is business as usual for the first few minutes and you wonder why you even bothered with this, when red dots start appearing on the chests of each of the workers and panic starts to break out.
Leader - "All of you drop your weapons."
Worker - "But sir-"
Leader - "No buts, these are commando droids, if they wanted us dead we'd already be corpses"
A woman walks in through the main entrance, heels clacking against the dirty concrete floor, the Trion logo can barely be made out on her outfit.
Woman - "Bravo mister Hartwell, bravo. Gentlemen, applause"
numerous sets of eyes light up, what you can safely assume are the commando droids and a stock applause audio plays.
Hartwell - "you know my name."
Woman - "Walter Hartwell, more commonly known in the criminal world as Nagayoshi, you have a very impressive resume my good sir. One of the last graduates of Mayasura before the planet's fall, you wanted to start a pharmaceutical company to develop a treatment for your ailing daughter. During your time you discovered a number of compounds which could be used as narcotics, everything from by-products to alternate optical isomers. When the fall happened your daughter was killed and your company bankrupted, to keep yourself afloat you sold these narcotics and made a major profit. Once Mayasura was reconnected to the galaxy you used you contacts to establish a small drug empire."
Walter - "As much as I appreciate the intimidation tactics I don't see how this i-"
Woman - "I'm.Not.Finished. Your narcotics business became one of the most succsesfull in recorded history for a brief few weeks, even today of the ten most popular narcotics five were invented by you. Of course, your ego grew too large. You betrayed your associates in the hope of clawing your way to the top, instead you have been reduced to a man hiding on a backwater mining colony, believed to be cursed by Miss Fortune herself."
Walter - "What do you want?"
Woman - "Me, oh I want nothing more than to be payed by the anonymous benefactor who told me to come here, what matters is what you want. Despite having the highest quality product your competitors are able to outsell you through superior connections and better reputation. We are offering you the opportunity to take your rightfull place at the top of the drug world."
Walter - "And how does Trion benefit from this?"
Woman - "Oh, you misunderstand. None of this is officially connected to Trion in any way. All of the company assets I'm offerring you as well as the individual who instructed me to perform this task are completely anomymous and have no official connection to the company."
Walter - "Official connection."
Woman - "Semantics. The point is my employer wants to get their... foot in the door within the criminal underworld. In return you will have access to equipment and connections far beyond anything your competitors have. You will also be granted an official position within Trion R&D as an experimental medicine developer."
Walter - "You said so yourself, my ego grew too large, how do you know I won't betray you."
Woman - "Because, my dearest Nagayoshi, you're smart enough not to repeat the same mistakes and you're smart enough to realise that betraying my employers is not a decision you will survive. This is a great opportunity and the company rewards those who prove themselves valuable assets."
Walter - "I think, this is a good deal. Would you mind telling me your name?"
Woman - "Oh, my name doesn't matter, I am just another faceless middle manager. My employers will appreciate your decision, as well as Trion when the money from our little enterprise inevitable ends up back in their pockets"
[recording end]
/uf context for the post:
Nagai Nagayoshi was a japanese scientist and the first person to synthesise methamphetamines in 1893.
Optical isomerism is what happens when a molecule has the same formula but an opposite arrangement in space. This can greatly alter the effects of the chemical such as during the thalidomide controversy in the 1960s where one isomer was completely harmless in appropriate doses and used as a common treatment during pregnancy and the other caused harmfull mutations in foetuses.

2024.05.12 06:19 Pharaoh_Silver [PC] [Shockwave Game] [2D] [1997-2001] [Puzzle/adventure game] I remember it involved droids and a neighborhood background at least in the beginning

I'm trying to find a very old shockwave game likely in the late 90s but could be as late as 2001. It was one of the very first shockwave games I used to play right after we got out of AOL and started using Netscape. I know it involved you going around a neighborhood disarming droids and you battle the droid by relaying... something with wires to them and if enough of them flow your way you disarm the droid.
The droids also have 3-digit numbers on them, 100 was like the very basic droid colored red and the last thing I remember from it was just beating a droid that had a number higher than 300 that was colored yellow. I never got past the first 4-5 droids though since my playtime as a kid was VERY short.
I tried to ask ChatGPT and none of the answers they gave me helped. If anyone knows where to find this let me know. I wouldn't even know where to start looking in the internet archive. I thought the game ended in -oid or -oids but I couldn't find it under that name so I could be wrong.
I had just learned it is very similar to an old Commodore 64 game Paradroid, but I know it definitely is not that one. The graphics were at least significantly more advanced than it, probably similar to what you'd see in an early SNES title.

2024.05.11 21:59 Canuck_in_a_Bunnyhug Two Recent Puzzle Hauls...a photo essay. (Includes my 27 library book sale puzzle acquisitions.)

Two Recent Puzzle Hauls...a photo essay. (Includes my 27 library book sale puzzle acquisitions.)
I don't usually post the everyday puzzles that I acquire...you know, a small Amazon purchase here or a Facebook Market Place find there, but since I enjoy browsing what other people are acquiring in their puzzle haul posts, I felt like maybe others might like to hear about some of the puzzles that I recently added to my ever burgeoning collection.
I will begin by sharing a bit about the new puzzles that I ordered from Amazon on their May the 4th Star Wars sale. After completing the Ravensburger Gelini Challenge, I felt empowered to take on another challenge puzzle at some point. Since Amazon had a great deal, The Mandalorian ($10.99) looks like it will be my next foe! I also couldn't pass up the deals on two other Star Wars puzzles, both from Buffalo. The four-pack (Manufactured in China) was just $7.99 and the Comic Book Collage (Manufactured in USA) was $5.99. I enjoy puzzling comic art, so this last one is a puzzle that I'm really looking forward to.
Amazon haul
I realize the vibrantly-coloured Buffalo Aimee Stewart puzzle seems oddly out of place in this collection. I'm sure we have all had that one puzzle that accidentally fell into our Amazon carts at one point or another. Perhaps you needed a few more dollars to get free shipping. You could have added something practical, like a tube of toothpaste, to bring your total up, but then you make the only correct choice there is and add a puzzle instead. Look at it as an investment in your well-being. My "oops!" puzzle was an easy decision to make. After having had such a wonderful time with "Cookies and Cocoa," (I think it was one of my favourite puzzles of the past year!), I just had to get "Tea and Cookies" as well. I anticipate it being equally as enjoyable, and this time, I will do my best to get a photo of it before I dump it all over the floor!
The second part of my haul comes via our town library's spring book sale.
You may remember awhile back when I was given a sneak peek at the puzzles that had accumulated for the book sale. While the pile looked like a lot, I was a little worried that there wouldn't be any good puzzles left by the time the actual sale rolled around, as the Friends of the Library had been carrying some puzzles upstairs to sell ahead of time in one of their pop-up sales.
The puzzle stacks from two months ago
Well, all of that worrying was for nothing, as that was then and this is now! A friend again gave me a sneak peek, just before the sale was set up, and this is what was available to go out on the sale tables. It is a different collection in some respects, but still plenty of puzzles to go around. There is a real treasure lurking in there, which I did not notice AT ALL when I took the photo. See if you can spot it! 👀 (Hint: The answer will be revealed in Group 5 below.)
Puzzle stacks right before being set out for the sale.
My son was volunteering, so I also got to snap a quick photo of the puzzles once they were all placed on tables in anticipation of the Friday/Saturday sale.
Puzzle tables nearly ready for sale.
And now, here we are! The moment you have all been waiting for! The library book sale.
When I attend a book sale like this, I feel both anticipation and dread. I am excited by all of the new puzzle possibilities, but the reality is that I get very overwhelmed when faced with a lot of options in a rush situation. My brain can no longer seem to focus on or process items, so my instincts are to either grab everything I see or nothing at all.
I was feeling particularly anxious when presented with this precarious plethora of puzzles (too much??? 😀), so I used one of my lifelines and cold-called a puzzle-loving friend of mine. We eventually switched to video so that she could help me make my selections. It was a whole lot of me holding a puzzle up to the camera, waiting for a response and then quickly moving on to the next box, while using a flaky internet connection. This person quite literally saved me from making some poor puzzle choices (though I am stubborn and still brought home a few of those) and pointed out some great ones to me as well. She shrieked with me over the wonderful finds and at times questioned my insistence on picking up others. I owe her big time! I should likely give her first pick from the selections we made together. In the end, I came home with 29 puzzles for my collection.
The puzzles you are about to see are not grouped in any particular order. I am simply posting them as they came off my camera roll. Everything was priced at $1 per puzzle.
Group 1
  • Eboo "Swedish Fishing Village." I have never done an Eboo before, can you believe it? Not likely my first choice of images, but it will do.
  • Springbok "It's a Tie!" Only the second round puzzle in my entire collection--both Springboks. Date on the box says 2020 so I'm wondering what I might inadvertently release when I open the lid.
  • White box "Lion Wooden Puzzle." I didn't even show this puzzle to my friend because I would have been able to hear her eyes roll back in her head at my selection. The box was totally crushed. I KNOW it's a "nothing" brand. I should have likely just put it back, but I opened the box and the pieces seemed decently made with some whimsies peeking back at me, so I brought it home for $1. It doesn't have a title, location of manufacture, bar code, piece count, warnings about tiny pieces, or any other identifying features, but it does have a difficulty level of 6A Challenger, whatever that means. I say, "Challenge accepted!"
  • Springbok Majestic "Lakeside." Not my typical choice for subjects, but a 500-piece wooden Springbok? I'm game to try that once!
  • Galison "Joy LaForme Winter Lights 12 Days of Puzzles." I was a little bit torn over this selection, both literally and figuratively. I absolutely love the puzzle images on these. The previous owner had carefully bagged up each puzzle individually, BUT the perforated doors that needed to be opened each day to access the puzzle were shredded. That was not enough to deter me from giving these puzzles a try this upcoming December. This is another selection where I sensed I would have been hit with a heavy eye roll, so I just snuck them into my bag unannounced.
Group 2
  • White Mountain "I Love New England." When I held this puzzle up, my friend told me I HAD to get it! It's New England!
  • Cobble Hill "Mid Mod Season's Greetings." I love Christmas and this just seemed like a great composition to puzzle.
  • Ravensburger "Bizarre Bookshop." I have done one other Colin Thompson puzzle, but it was a "cupboard" puzzle, not a "shop" puzzle.
  • Laurence King "The World of Shakespeare." The copy of "Jane Austen" that I completed was one that was not published in the Netherlands. I would like to give this one a try to see how the two puzzles compare. My friend told me to expect this one to be "intricate."
Group 3
  • Ravensburger "The Craft Cupboard." I previously completed "The Gardener's Cupboard" as A Review in Two Voices alongside u/NoDistrict8179. I loved the little details in that one and I'm not even a gardener, so imagine my excitement when the theme is now colourful crafts!
  • Castorland "Afternoon Tea." I haven't had the opportunity to puzzle a Castorland from Poland yet. I had previously seen this puzzle listed on our town's Facebook page where people can give away puzzles, books, or games they no longer want. I am assuming this may be the same puzzle making the rounds. The original poster commented something along the lines of " Yes, the snow-covered glass is as big a pain in the posterior as you think it will be." (paraphrased) Now I'm a little concerned.
Group 4
  • Buffalo Games "Lars Stewart Swiss Train Ride." I'm not entirely sure why I brought this home??? I have a feeling that I was just like, "Oooh! Colourful Buffalo!" and added it to my pile. I highly doubt I will end up doing this one and think that I will pass it along to someone else.
  • Re-Marks "Vintage Signs." Another brand that I have yet to try. The colours looked bright and it seemed like it would be an easier puzzle to complete.
  • Ceaco "Marjolein Bastin." These watercolour images always remind me of my mom, who had at least a couple of these images framed on her walls. I'm not a big Ceaco fan, but I think I can get through 300 pieces for this colourful, nostalgic puzzle.
  • Buffalo Games "Pine Sanctuary." Not my typical puzzle choice, but the image called to me. At 1000-pieces, I would have left this behind, but at 500-pieces, I am happy to bring it home so we can discuss why it captures my attention so.
  • Colorcraft "Cat on the Shelf." Ever since I found out that Colorcraft is no longer producing puzzles, I have been looking for some of the more eye-catching images to collect. My helpful puzzle friend said, "Do you really like that image???" and I replied, "Yes! Black cat! That's all I need to see." (We don't always have the same taste in puzzles and I tend to buy puzzles now and make decisions about whether I will really puzzle them later.)
  • Ravensburger "Cozy Cabin." Another puzzle that I'm sort of on the fence about image-wise, but will definitely puzzle some day when I am desperate. I have other images that I am more excited about, but I enjoy a good Ravensburger from time to time due to their familiarity and consistency.
Group 5
  • Wentworth "Village Sledging." This is it. This is the moment that I gave an audible gasp, which my puzzle friend mirrored with a gasp of her own the second she saw what I was holding. This moment right here is why I called her. Everyone should have a puzzle partner who understands the excitement of finding a Wentworth or any other "white whale" puzzle and is just as thrilled for you as if they had found it themselves. I never thought that I would see a puzzle like this show up in our small town library.
Group 6
  • Springbok "Six String Symphony." Just look at this behemoth! I have never seen or held a 2000-piece Springbok before and I was shocked at how much this thing weighed when I picked it up. (3 pounds 7.5 ounces for those who are wondering!) The box is 14"x14" and 2-inches deep! I don't do many puzzles over 1000-pieces, but this one will definitely hit the table at some point. Such a fabulous illustration.
Group 7
I hope you have had some time to get over the excitement of the Wentworth, because this is where things started getting exciting for me again, as I came across a handful of Wysocki images. I think that Young Patriots is going to be a real favourite!
  • Buffalo Games "Charles Wysocki Americana Collection: Waterfall Valley."
  • Buffalo Games "Charles Wysocki Proud Lil' Angler." Newer and just 300 large pieces, but still fun for a quick puzzling session.
  • Buffalo Games "Charles Wysocki Americana Collection: Young Patriots."
  • Buffalo Games "Prairie Wind Flowers."
Group 8
  • Mattel "Jane Wooster Scott Boise River Festival." This is just a really fun image. I have admired puzzles by this artist when other people have posted them, but this is the first time I have actually had one of my own to do.
  • Milton Bradley "Charles Wysocki Pumpkin Hollow." Those rows of pumpkins look fun to puzzle, don't they?
Group 9
  • Relish "Lakeside Vacation." This 63-piece puzzle is promoted as a dementia jigsaw. When I first flipped the box lid open, I was impressed with the thickness of the pieces and the fact that the puzzle can be built right in the box if someone really wanted to. What I was most excited about using it for though, was a game of puzzle chess, where instead of starting with the border done, like you would for a larger puzzle, you simply start and build from one random piece (giving each person an equal number of turns). I like this smaller size for playing with kids and was hoping to find a couple of puzzles that might work for this activity.
  • Buffalo Games "Droids." After helping to write the Buffalo Games Star Wars Puzzle list, you would think that I would have had enough of this kind of puzzle, but I couldn't pass up owning the three cutest droids in the galaxy!
Group 10
A couple of late contenders here. I didn't pick them up on my first pass, but when I went back to the table later and they were still there, I decided to bring them home.
  • Ceaco "A Profusion of Posies" + some kind of mystery puzzle. I lifted the lid off the box to see what the puzzle was like, since the box said, "Corkboard Silhouette." When I did that, I saw the cork-backed pieces, but there was another puzzle in a zip top bag in there as well. Now I'm super curious exactly what that one might be. It doesn't look like more than 200 pieces or so, so I think it should be easy to assemble if everything is there.
  • Ravensburger "Skandinavische Idylle Scandinavian." I originally passed this over because I am just not a landscape-type of puzzler. However, seeing this image get passed over by a number of people, I finally went back and picked it up. It's hard for me to refuse the Siren's call of a 500-piece Ravensburger, no matter what the subject matter is.
I'm sure that after all of this puzzle talk, many of you are wondering if I purchased any, you know, actual books at the BOOK sale. Why, how lovely of you to ask! Yes, I did happen to pick up a few bits to keep me entertained in the off chance that I'm not puzzling. Maybe you can figure out one of the other hobbies I enjoy from this selection.
Actual books that I purchased from the sale. (The book that doesn't have a title on the cover is The Flavor Bible.)
That's it. I'm at the bottom of my puzzle haul bag!
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! Thanks for reading!

Considerations

  • The tool is available in English (EN) and Spanish (ES).
  • Tested on Google TV with Chromecast, please give feedback on other TV devices.
  • With Windows 10 and Windows 11 it is fully compatible and functional. Running the tool on Windows 7 or lower is partially functional, as there are some instructions that it does not interpret on older Windows.

  • You can use the tool in multitasking mode, i.e. you can for example backup TV device apps while you are applying custom configurations.

Use of Android TV Tools in offline environment

If you are going to run the tool without an internet connection, download Aux Files for Android TV Tools.rar and unzip the file in the same folder as Android TV Tools vXX.exe, as the tool makes use of several auxiliary files such as:
  • cmdmax.exe (for resizing the tool's windows).
  • ScrCpy (for viewing and controlling your TV device from your PC)
  • Universal Android Debloater (to remove bloatware)
In addition, ADB drivers are included, so there is no need to install them to use Antroid TV Tools.
Folder with Android TV Tools.exe + Aux Files

Does Android TV Tools contain Malware?

The tool is 100% clean and safe, of course it does not send any personal information to any remote server, however Antivirus software in recent times has become much more sensitive especially in the engines used in Virustotal.com so some Anti-Virus engines detect Android TV Tools as some kind of Malware I guess because it matches a certain pattern, logically to users of the tool this creates concern especially if it is detected by 39 of 72 engines as happened when launching Android TV Tools v2. The only solution is to contact each of the anti-virus companies via questionnaire or email so that they can reanalyze the file and normally in less than 48 hours you receive a response from the companies informing you that it is indeed a false positive and that they will update the engine. In the case of those 39 engines detecting some type of malware, and after countless emails they were reduced to 4 engines, I must say that these 4 Anti-Virus companies neither answer (neither for good nor for bad) nor update their engines correcting the false positive, these are DeepInstinct, Rising, SkyHigh and TrapMine. It's like hitting a wall, it's very frustrating.
Please, if Android TV Tools is detected as malware/virus by your Anti-virus software or detected by VirusTotal.com engines inform me as soon as possible, I for my part commit myself to be aware of the analysis in VirusTotal.com to avoid alerts in Anti-virus engines. Here is a link to a contact directory of VirusTotal.com antivirus engines if anyone wants to collaborate and send emails to reanalyze the tool, I would appreciate it because this issue of false positives takes a lot of my time.

2024.05.07 20:46 Doctorbatman3 Gamers Guild AZ 3k May the 4th Tournament Report and Personal Match up Analysis

Gamers Guild AZ 3k May the 4th Tournament Report and Personal Match up Analysis
Gamers Guild in Tempe AZ hosted a tournament this weekend for May the 4th with over 3k worth of prizes for top 8 (12 Boxes split, case to first - 2 for 2nd to 4th - 1 5th to 8th). Before I get into the thick of it I have to shout out Gamers Guild for not only a wonderful event but for keeping the prizing and entry the same as when the event was announced. For some context, when this tournament was announced the prizing was equivelant to roughly 1k. Between then and last weekend box prices basically doubled to the point where now the prize pool is equivelant to 3k. Instead of back tracking and changing the prizing or entry ($50), they stood by the community and kept their word. At every opprotunity Gamers Guild makes the decision that benefits the players, for which I cannot be more grateful. Now to the fun stuff.
Grand finals was not played, a split accured at top 4 and we played out that last round before ending
Top 8 Breakdown -
3x Sabine Cunning
1x Sabine Aggression
2x Leia Red (1 Tarkin 1 Kestro)
1x Han Green
1x Krennic Green
I do not have the exact match count for each top 8 match played but I do know the results at least.
Sabine(Y) VS Krennix Green - Sabine(Y)
Sabine(Y) VS Leia (Kestro) - Sabine(Y)
Sabine(Y) VS Han Green - Sabine(Y)
Sabine(R) VS Leia (Tarkin) - Sabine(R)
Bringing us to our top 4 of 3 Sabine Cunnings and 1 Sabine Aggression. A fun note, all 3 of the Sabine Cunning players consisted of Myself and my 2 teammates who all where on the same list +/- a few cards. We worked very hard to come up with a list that stacked up well into the entire meta and we fully believe we succeeded in that. At this point in the event we split the top 4 prizing for 3 Boxes each, and then played out one more round.
Sabine(Y) VS Sabine (Y) - Sabine (Y)
Sabine(R) VS Sabine(Y) - Sabine (Y)
At this point I lost the mirror to my teammate while our other team member won their match putting our grand finals to a mirror match. We did not play out the last round as we really didnt feel a need to at that point. I wish I had more information on the breakdown for decks in swiss to share but what I can and will do is now delve into my own personal match ups. I was the only person to be undefeated after 5 rounds of swiss and I have a lot to share about my deck and experiences saturday.
5-0 after Swiss Top 4 after Cut
Here is the deck! While I would like to focus on the match ups instead of this being a deck tech, there a few interesting things I will make sure to not throughout and I will be responsive to questions in the comments.
ROUND 1 -
Sabine(Y) VS Sabine(Y) - Sabine(Y) 2-0
For what would be a precurser to my bracket run, round one was brutal. I was paired vs my teammate which is rough enough as is, but round one I really would like not to sweat as much as I had to. Normally I feel very confident In any Sabine mirror due to our 3 main decked Bamboozles. No one else is likely to be playing them or even expecting them EXCEPT for one of only 2 other people you've spent weeks in the think tank with. Despite this I still had a plan, race. There are not any real specific plays to point to for how I won this matchup, In all honesty my cards just lined up better than his. It sucks to beat a teammate but I had full confidence he would win out.
ROUND 2 -
Sabine(Y) VS Sabine(Y) - Sabine(Y) 2-0
Another mirror??? and its NOT my other teammate?? Sabine(Y) has been picking up steam here in AZ so its not shocking to see it just unexpected. Unfortunately for them, I have Bamboozle and they do not, they don't even know I have it. Game 1 was a typical 2 drop into 2 drop on both sides with my opponent on the Initiative, His A wing my Sabine unit. turn 2 he wing leaders the A Wing Which promptly gets Bamboozled free with a discard. I follow up with Falcon to clean the A-wing up and from that point the tempo is too far in my favor. Game 2 was even faster, They start space I dodged to ground with double 1 drops. They play a red and attack my base for 4. I double attack their base, Drop medal ceremony and falcon to clean up the Red Three. At this point im holding back a Bamboozle and leia for the next turns so I can slow anything they would like to do and continue the race. The match ends soon after. Bamboozle is the ace in this match up, the fear that you may lose your entire play and then some to a 2 cost card (OR FREE) is a lot of pressure to face. Even when it is not defeating upgrades, often time even just the tap is more than enough.
ROUND 3 -
Sabine(Y) VS Krennic Green - Sabine(Y) 2-0
Game one was fairly back and forth, A lot of healing was had on my opponents side but unfortunantley for them I was able to keep consistent threats on the board for repetetive damage. I had to fight through 2 Vigilance, their leader, and a Cargo Juggernaut but they just could not remove enough threats. Every heal was answered with damage already on board. Game 2 was pretty devastating for them but a great example of just how explosive the deck can be when your opponent stumbles even a little bit. It was very quick so I remeber basically every play. They opened with a Probe droid so I dodged to space with an X wing. Next turn they Power of the Dark side it, I respond with Falcon and Deal 3 leaving them at 5 going into next round (2 leader pings). They open with Power again Killing the Falcon but leaving me wide open to do whatever I would like. They made a mistake here and attacked my base with the Probe droid before I played out my leader making it even more likely she lives to the next turn. I ping then flip and wing leader my Leader to hit for 5 putting them at 11 now. Turn 4 now, its pivitol that I leave myself in a position to win pretty much immediatly into the next turn. Or so I thought, As the turn played out I was able to get another 7 in with both my swings putting them at 18, Krennic came out put them to 16, I played For a cause hitting for 4 and then Ending the game for exact lethal with Sneak Attack + Fleet lieutenant. The best answer to Vigilance is just killing them before they can cast it I guess.
ROUND 4 -
Sabine(Y) VS Boba Green - Sabine(Y) 2-0
This is the deck that beats aggro right? Maybe if you're playing a bad aggro deck but certainly not this list. While it can be rough at times and Boba can have the answers, we have more than enough tricks to keep us in it and can very easily exploit the 25 health base. My opponent is first (I didnt win a dice roll all day) so my strategy is a simple lane dodge. Its crucial I keep either a flexible or resilient hand vs Boba. Another key piece to this match up is tapping Boba on his flip turn. This is such a key piece our teammate was saying we should even consider keeping awkward hands just to guarantee tapping Boba. Like Obi-Wan to Luke during the trench run my teammates voice came down from the heavens and told me to keep my hand. While normally I wouldnt hesitate to go for a double 1 drop play, especially when they go space with cartel like he did, but I was patient and held back the Leia playing only spec force. This slowed my damage down for sure but not by much, and all of it was made up for when my opponent went for the Leader flip turn hopping to untap and Overwhelming Barrage me. Leia said no and its on to game 2. Theres not a lot to report with this one, I ran away in space and my opponents removal did not line up.
ROUND 5 -
Sabine(Y) VS Sabine(R) - Sabine(Y) 2-1
I really want to shoutout my opponent, they traveled from Reno to attend this event and they really helped to make it memorable for me and my crew. I have nothing but amazing things to say about my opponent and we both walked away learning a lot from each other. While in general I believe that my deck is the fastest deck and will always win a straight race, Aggression made took me for a ride. Mono red seems very good at keeping up with yellow and their ace card aggression lines up very well into me. One of the things that makes Bamboolze and Leia so good is that they can advance my game state at the same time as I am stymieing my opponents. Well it turns out Aggression Does that really really well. Deal 4 + Untap a unit is absolutely brutal in terms of tempo. I was able to squeek in the last points of damage each round I won but it was always by just 1 action all 3 games. These decks line up into each very well making for a super cool match up. We talked a lot after that round and while we both very much like the Mono red option, Yellow lines up better into the field. They are taking our list to some big events coming up and I could not be more excited to see how they do.
TOP 8 ROUND 1 -
Leia Red(Kestro) VS Sabine(Y) - Sabine(Y) 2-0
Leia Leia Leia, what can I say about her? I have a lot of mixed thoughts on this deck. I think I am currently on the side of Leia not being that great of a deck. Not necessarily because its weak, but other decks can do what it does without the weaknesses that Leia suffers. In this match up they are the control deck, I am much much faster than them and my units pretty much all line up equally or better into theirs. In game one I am able to run away on the ground with Leia Spec force T1 into their Partisan Insurgent. They have no trades available without first playing a red unit, leaving me wide open to fleet lieutenant the insurgent and take control of the arena. From there the race is mine and I end the game on T4. Game 2 was very very close, their cards lined up into mine much better this game making it extremely hard to keep units on the board. I had already commited to the race here and just dug my heels in deeper. It was very nearly not enough as I put my opponent to 24 with no cards left in my hand and a wing leader + buffed sabine left. After a very difficult turn I manage to calculate the damage and put us in a spot where I cannot be killed by any 1 action only 2. With me at 18 life and them with a 4 attack and 5, even a rebel assault was not lethal but I was at the mercy of my top deck. They put me into lethal range but fortunantly for me Heroic Sacrific came off the top to clinch the victory. The 30 Health base makes this match up much scarier than normal. A few Leias have been running 30 health recently and that has changed my thoughts on the match up pretty heavily. I still think we are very favored but not to the extent if they where playing Tarkin Town.
TOP 8 ROUND 2 -
Sabine(Y) VS Sabine(Y) - Sabine (Y) 2-1
The final match of the tournament, at this point with 3/3 of our team in top 4, we couldn't have been happier. Seeing as it was 3 teammates, we opted to split with the 4th player on board as well. My round 5 Opponent was in the top cut with us making it an easy choice. We did decide to play it out atleast. I proceeded to get pretty exposed here. We talked and practiced together constantly but weren't really running Sabine mirrors over and over against each other. This lead to us all kind of coming to different conclusions on how to deal with the mirror and gaps in our plans. All day I did very little trading and focused entirely on squeezing the absolute maximum damage every turn. Even in aggro mirrors I always took the role of the aggro deck. This teammate was the opposite, they LOVE trading and they are very good at it. Its very easy to make a wrong move trading and find yourself short the damage you need or losing your tempo entirely. In a few tournaments leading up to this I had struggled with the trading gameplan against other aggro decks. Sadly I wasnt really capable of recognizing this going into the event so I never really practiced with that in mind. All that to say, my gameplan crumbled to them. Looking back I certainly see some mistakes, and there was a pretty big misplay in game 2 that may or may not have won me the game. However my opponent did not make mistakes and was able to capitalize earning them a well deserved victory. The other top 4 match wrapped up shortly after leaving only 2 Sabine(Y) players in the finals. This round was not played, and the honorary victory went to the Teammate who beat me in top 8.
Well that was a lot of text, I hope by sharing my experiences all of us can potentially learn something and become better at this game as a community. Again massive shout outs to Gamers Guild AZ for consistently hosting great events and having the communities back from day 1. The AZ Scene would not be what it is without Gamers Guild! Secondly the Mono Red Sabine Player, he really deserve a shout out aswell for being such a cool dude. This guy is taking the 3 boxes they won back to their community and making sure it gets into their hands at a fair price. If thats not one of the sweetest things I dont know what is, these boxes sell for 250 easily but somethings are far more important than that.
Final Thoughts
I love this game so much, the depth is astounding. The fact the meta can shift as much as it has and will continue to in just one set is very impressive to me. The balance is very good with only a few outliers, one of those being the deck we played this weekend. It boggles my mind that Sabine(Y) is so slept on. I have numerous downvotes in this sub from talking about how Sabine(Y) is far superior to (G). Slowly but surely people are coming around but even the Yellow lists that have done well seem to be missing key pieces that elevate them over Green. The Sabine(Y) at Kissime for example was running something like 1 greedo, 0 sneak attacks and while it was a solid list, its missing what makes Yellow not only good but oppressive. The amount of reach we have is unparalleled for the cost. Cards like Suprise Strike and For a cause are great but when paired with Sneak Attack + Fleet Lieutenant, you can very easily suprise your opponent with more damage than they can come back from. On top of that the utility present in the list between Leia and Bamboozle lets us leverage extreme tempo plays that most decks are not equipped to deal with. We truely believe this is the BEST deck in the format with a 55%+ win rate vs the entire current meta. This could change with shifts or new discoveries so I will not claim it is the best deck of the set. If you do not believe me please play it yourself and witness what it can do personally. A small disclaimer, this deck is not easy. You will constant be given multiple options that all seem equally correct but are not. This is not just a turn your cards sideways and you win deck, while it can like any other aggro deck do that, this deck wins with planning and outmanouvering your opponent more than anything else.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, even if it was only a little bit. I will be active in the comments and welcome any and all discussion. I love talking and learning about this game so please do so with me!
Edit: it was brought to my attention I left off 4 boxes in the prize pool. Making the prizing roughly closer to 4k can 3. Case to first 2 to 2-4th and 1 to 5th-8th.
Edit2: Sideboarding is something Ive been asked a few times about so I will breifly go into it.
Aggro - Remove all 3 For a Cause. Add 1 Medel Ceremony and 2 Rebel Assault.
Midrange - Lets just call this Boba as none of the other Midrange decks really matter to me. Remove 2 Medal Ceremony. Add 2 Rebel Assault.
Control: Bamboozle stays or goes only if they are playing Childsen. I bring in 2 Choppers 1 Medal ceremony and 2 Fang Fighters. Its a little less obvious what to take out VS these match ups but definently Auzituck. Now that Chopper is not in the side deck though It makes siding a little easier. Spark of Rebellion is also a card that is apparently good in these match ups but it has never been useful for me specifically. I cant comment on how good it is or isnt but I have sideboard space so its there.

2024.05.07 08:11 -Megamind- Finally watched it

Let me say to start with, I'm down for a couple more sequels at the least. And not in the sharknado/fast and furious kind of way where it's so bad that I want more and not the level of say star wars where I wanted, key word wanted, more after ep 7 being that it was a decent start. It's somewhere in between.
But I just wanted to share my opinion. Hopefully there are different perspectives on this subreddit. Action- The action was solid. The fights were great. The Droid picking up the gun and shooting a perfect shot pointing it sideways was spectacular. The first club to the head was brutal being as surprising as it was. The 2nd was kind of gut wrenching with chunks of the squid kings head flying off. Oddly enough, this is one movie that may have been better with a rated R rating. Unlike star wars, along with energy weapons, they had a lot of close combat meelee weapon action that I was bracing myself for a messy result and realizing everytime that it wasn't going to happen.
Pacing- It felt rushed but I oddly feel that way about a lot of movies today. I do know that Hollywood has dipped in that department as far as quality lately but it also could just be me.
Story- Honestly good. Fun. I've been a star wars fan my whole life. As far as movies go, I always say if a movie recreates a story in it's own way, it's because it's a great story and I hope they can do it well. And I thought they did alright with it. (Side note, I think Joker is a great example of this. Some people told me they took a lot from taxi driver. I never saw it beforehand but it was the first rated R movie to break a billion dollars.)
Characters- Many were underutilized, my top being Gunnar, but that is only because I liked him in game of thrones and wanted more of him. Most of the ragtag group were somewhat forgettable but fun getting them all together. Kora is compelling. Not great as far as range but has enough to root for her. Good lead female characters or girl bosses as of late have been about 50/50 in hollywood, but I thought they did a good job with her. Was really let down initially with the bad guys. The troops in the beginning were slightly interesting. The captain who wanted to keep things in order. Quell fights. The asshole Sgt. The private with a heart. Then all of the troops were just cardboard baddies shortly after. The admiral though. Good lord he is evil. Great actor and pretty solid character. I also think kai was fun to watch in the few laid back moments we got. Don't think the accent fit here though.
Visuals- good and bland. The farm was ok. The shot of the dreadnought in the sky was cool. The squid kings world was ominous. Kind of interesting. The final fight set piece could have been better but still looked good. The spider cave or place was alright. Not much more to say on that. Had an antman 3 kind of feel but I appreciated it more being on the budget that it was.
My last bit is the slow motion. Zach. My dude. It was amazing in 300. Had a few good moments in sucker punch and was overused in DC with a few good shots. Ease it up. Please. Your movie would probably be 10min shorter if ya did😂 I'm sorry. But I realized about a half hr in that there had been at least 5 slowmo shots. The seeds dropping was not necessary. Anyways. Those were my thoughts.
Also wondering why balisarious has 2 people playing him. And if you're going to say it's the younger and older one, the guy who played him in the flash back is older than the guy who did in the ending.
