Random Stuff #29

I haven't really been posting because Minecraft has been taking up my time. It's actually pretty interesting.

I've been working on a house/fortress made of diamond blocks with a secret tunnel underground. Today, I just finished a small tower on top of the building, with a bunch of arrow dispensers. To make it a rapid-fire arrow launcher, I first tried a "blinker" set-up. It worked, but there's no way of turning it on or off due to how Redstone Torches work.

Instead, I just made a circuit that loops and powers itself once turned on. It would send the charge to the dispensers once per second or so, effectively creating an automatic arrow launcher. What's great is that I could still just use a previous set-up to shoot the arrows once, but if I wanted it on rapid-fire, I could hit a separate button.

It worked amazingly, too amazingly. It lagged the server because it shot so many arrows at once. So, I had to remove the automatic function. How sad. It's okay, since it was a great proof of concept.

Now that I've bored you with Minecraft, I should talk about Yu-Gi-Oh.

I'm going to try and make a Psychic deck once I get the Silent Psychic Wizards. I'm still not sure about how exactly I want to make it.

Psi-Beast, despite its ugliness, can be pretty helpful with removing Esper Girl from play. It also supplies cards for Psychic Feel Zone, so I guess that's a little more useful than removing Esper Girl.

The main concern is that I don't want to focus entirely on these remove from play shenanigans, since they won't work all the time. All of them work only when the Monster is sent to the Graveyard, and some of them can Miss the Timing.

Pandaborg and Psi-Blocker would probably be good cards to use, but I'm not sure exactly how I want to make the deck. There's just no (good) precedent, so I'll have to see where this goes. And no, I'm not making some Mind Master-based FTK.
