Ryanair ... just recently I went with my 3 kids with them. I did a mistake in paying an adult ticket for my oldest son instead of teenager ticket. This small mistake made it impossible to do the checkin online. It was impossible to correct this mistake online, they referred to customer support which I was not able to reach at all despite many attempts. So I decided to do the checkin at the airport instead. After waiting around 30 minutes in the line I explained them why I was not able to do the checkin online. They then spent 25 MINUTES trying to solve the mistake, she had to make 3 phone calls and get help from her manager to try to change the ticket from adult to teenager.
Of course I had to pay €30 per person for doing the checkin at the counter instead of online.
I made it in time but the line at the checkin grew a lot as everyone was waiting to solve the issue.
So stupid.
Same for me, also using capital letters ...
Best in Sweden seem to be SBAB 4.25% (3 or 6 months lock). Or, anything better?
I love pagat.com and it is often used as an authority source of game rules. Related note: it links to my own card game that I created:
https://luris.org
Exactly. Except that they should be easily recognizable and nicely made. So for example a basic plains that you draw over and make look a bit like the card is very recommended.
In the old school community: counterfeits absolutely not ok. Proxies normally ok except in some tournaments.
Yes, I agree. And we don't own them. I find it a very stimulating intellectual exercise to construct a deck without those cards and still perform great. Those powerful cards have several points and only 7 points total are allowed in your deck. For example I currently choose to play Sol Ring instead of 2 of the moxes.
On a related note, I have a blast playing old school magic 93/94 with my son. Of course using physical cards. We travel to Madrid each year to participate in the world championship of 7pts Singleton. This summer my son placed #9 which I am very proud of. 7pts Singleton is such a wonderful way to play the game with diverse affordable deck-building and balanced gameplay (

I am working on something like this, text-based with images. But I don't generate on the fly, I will have big lists (many thousands) of curated text outputs from GPT that get selected with randomization and nested if statements. For those interested, the game (work in progress) is Advinsula:

Worked for me but without sound.
It helped me build a database of around 3000 medieval names for my RPG that I am working on.

On a related note and surely interesting to the HN crowd I invented Clesto which is similar to Stratego but a bit more like chess, based on an old chinese game:
https://clesto.com/ - it is more quick to play and has open information.
"Unacceptable management practices included the use of an unsecured group email account as the root user to access confidential private keys and critically sensitive data for the FTX Group companies around the world"
No wonder they got "hacked" and lost $400 M.
A great opportunity right now for CloudFlare to win some goodwill and PR by helping out EasyList for free right now.
But what about simply enable a firewall and show captcha or similar if the origin IP is from India and requesting that URL until the situation is under control? I did that with the free plan recently in CloudFlare in a similar situation and it worked perfectly (of course on a much smaller scale).
:)
It is a work in progress. I try to make some progress on each day. I don't know now when I will open the beta. Sorry if it was not enough clear, it is written under the logo.
Thank you for sharing this info, must have been a wonderful experience. Your cards must be worth a small fortune.
I played first in 1996 but had no money so no valuable cards, but I kept them all. I have now been spending around €2K to buy old cards (mostly revised and 4th edition) to make decks for playing with my son. We play an affordable format for old school, you can see more info here https://7pts-singleton.com/
Last summer we travelled to Madrid to be part of the Championship, me and my son - it was wonderful :)
