Today I discovered on Filmweb a lost animated film that dates back to 1916, the film was called "Flirt of the Chairs" (known in Polish as "Flirt krzeseΕek").
The film was created by Feliks Kuczkowski, the film was shot in KrakΓ³w and in a studio located in Vienna, the length of the film was about 13 minutes, I tried to look for more information about this film, but I found almost nothing about it on the Internet.
However, after some more research I found a website where you can see four frames that came from the film.
I think this lost media is quite interesting, because it's one of the oldest animations that came from Europe.
What decks/ archetypes can go without the two pots mentioned above? I get that there is an inherent lower level of consistency without one of there two but replacing them with something like desires. Salamangreats and maybe Prank-Kids would be examples.
It's like there's no tomorrow.
There are a lot of issues whenever weβre trying to compare operators. Some tried to compare within archetypes, which then created issues because even within archetypes, some operators are too different. But at the same time, operators from different archetypes are also a no-go for comparing because they are just inherently different? But only most of the time? You also hear that whenever someone says an operator is bad, the defense of βanyone works to clear anything with rewards anywayβ shows up. So how do we compare operators in a meaningful way?
If you know about this video from Drails, youβll know that a good way to compare operators is by comparing what they can achieve. Surtr/Utage/Specter being his example of Helidrop/Immortal/Arts/Big damage, where Surtr has all 4, and the other 2 has 3 each.
I had a thought about this dilemma for a long while back, and I created this method, which I kept to myself (and a small group of frenz) for a while.
I call it the Result/Effort ratio, of which despite I say that itβs a ratio, there is also absolutely no number attached. This ratio is basically an extension of what Drails suggested when comparing operators that do the same thing, but a bit less specifics.
As you can guess, the principle of this comparison is that, given an operator, if you put in a certain amount of Effort, you get a certain amount of Result (of a certain goal youβre trying to complete). Then we can compare 2 operators by comparing the amount of work you have to put in order to reach the same result.
- Effort can be wider than it sounds. Some operators need only to be deployed, some need to be timed when to use the skill, some need to also be considered with their summon, and lastly, some need to be used in conjunction with their multiple summons which retreat after their skill is over. But it also goes further than just the operator alone. Sometimes, to achieve a more specific goal, they need allies, buffer/debuffer, crowd-controller,β¦ the more allies they need to do a certain thing, the more Effort youβre basically putting in.
- Result is dynamic. For some operators, youβre just trying to see how good they can kill things. For others, youβre seeing how good they can stall enemies with stun/bind/slow. Depending on how specific youβre going, the caliber of Result will also change. Maybe you just want to finish the story stages, then the Result is simple, and this is where those defenses that I mentioned

I just got to 200k from trading and thought maybe i would try the wheel again but last time i played it all i won was 50k so essentially i lost 50k :/
Just need help with this, I know both are good for there own reasons but I own both and don't know if I should play one over the other or just both at the same time. Also, I am aware that they conflict with each other. Would appreciate any explanations!
Let me preface by saying the person wasn't the normal kind of vegan hater. They are very into sustainable living and permaculture stuff. Just note that to say we would agree on a lot of those things however I noticed that their, and this book's premise, seem based totally on the utility of animals and their pragmatic use to aid humans. Totally anthropocentric perspective.
He was to saying to me, while describing the book, that the premise it makes, which he also seems to agree with, is that Veganism is only sustainable if living in big cities and so from a sustainable living aspect it is rubbish (basically). Therefore you must include the exploitation of animals in some aspect. That is the gist I got anyway.
He seemed to be saying, still speaking of the book and why I should read it, that veganism is impossible on a small scale and that to live the vegan life you have to rely on huge industrial farming which harms both animals and the environment.
I don't know how he drew that conclusion, but he was drawing from the book's premises as to why it may change my views if I read it. I don't see why that would be the case? You can have a vegan smallholding as easy/easier than you could have a cattle one I would have thought.
EDIT: Oh I was searching a little more and seem to have found his position on that here
Anyway I present it here because it is different than the usual anti-vegan arguments. Kind of an insidious one in that they argue for a lot of the same things that vegans do but try and undermine veganism by saying it is actually no good from an environmental or sustainability/grassroots perspective.
I am interested what my fellow vegans say on the subject matter.
What bugs me is that they assume that the only reason we would be vegan were for health or environmental/sustainability reasons with no word at all on the welfare of animals as being the main reason. That only gets mentioned as a side effect if their self-serving goals.
