I doubt you’ll find anything for this bespoke purpose built as a utility online, so if you want it you’ll need to make it (or I guess hire someone).

Python is fairly approachable to learn, the 2nd best time to plant a tree is today. Personally, I’d recommend installing Anaconda and using a Jupyter Notebook. For this process, you’d need to learn about:

1. “pip” to install any libraries/packages you need.

2. Importing packages

3. Working with strings

4. Getting a list of all files (maybe only those of certain types) in a given directory.

5. For loops

6. some way to read each file type (pandas can handle txt, not sure about the others but you should be able to literally just Google “Python import <filetype>” to find a package. Import them as strings and concatenate a huge list of them in a for loop.

7. Pandas dataframes, Parsing strings into new columns, including into distinct lists of strings. The complexity here varies a lot based on what you specifically want to get out of the process.

8. Exporting dataframe rows to files (better imho if you did it as tabs in a workbook, but it is trickier) in a for loop.

Don’t overwrite objects as you go and keep different logical chunks in their own cells. That’ll make it easier to troubleshoot. Just Google any errors you don’t immediately understand, you’ll find lots of advice online.

Don’t have whatever you make delete any of your original files.

Depending on your feelings about AI, you could probably get one to make something that’ll work after a few tries and troubleshooting by giving it error messages, but aside from the ethical problems, you’d never really know if it got it right, even if it seemed to work, so I would recommend against it.

Python should be able to handle this for you with 100% accuracy at removing duplicated sentences (and headers), with added complexity you could have it even make result files based on unique emails you corresponded with, and it can handle all the various file types and even nested folders if that’s involved.

Probably could do this in 50-100 lines of code depending on complexity. Runtime should be minutes at most.

Learning python to do this would probably take a couple to a few hours if you have any familiarity with coding, bit more if you don’t.

Just an FYI, if anyone looks into this and sees a good deal of negativity in the MTG community about it, it isn’t that they’re specifically negative about Star Trek, but rather there’s just a general growing discontent with the volume and variety of 3rd party IP sets being produced in the last year or two. The sets are usually pretty solid on theming for those who like that IP, play quality varies (but that’s true for any set), usually feels better when the set has a bit of a story to it.

These sets are created with the primary goal to pull in new players based on the IP, collecting the game is not cheap, but there’s a wide variety of interesting ways to play it. You won’t be “competitive” with just cards from this set (if that matters to you), you’ll probably need a variety of IP cards from things like Marvel, Turtles, Airbender or Final Fantasy as well as the Magic core IPs.

Steamforged Games surprise cancelled further production of the tabletop game Guild Ball in a statement they have since deleted from their website that said they made the perfect game, but the game was being played wrong by the players, whose fault it was that gameplay and the meta was becoming risk-averse and stagnant.

I’ve seen using mpcfill.com to make your list of desired cards, and then using the built in export over to makeplayingcards.com.

About proxy legality, outside of sanctioned events even Wizards is cool with proxies (they refer to them as playtest cards, not to be confused with actual playtest cards created during development) existing, so long as they are different enough from real cards they can’t be considered fakes (typically done with either a different backing or adding some text to the bottom) and retailers don’t make products for sale using the copyright symbols (colors, tap/untap) without permission.

I played the demo, was solidly fun, it’s on my list, but I’m still on StS2 atm.

Sony is of course trying to maximize profit levels, that’s why I said this is probably just A/B testing. I did have another thought that could also make some sense so I shared that, because it wouldn’t surprise me if Sony used demographic information to offer different sales to further maximize profits. Still not seeing any evidence that this is Dynamic Pricing like the article stated.

This doesn’t feel like dynamic pricing to me. Dynamic pricing to me sounds like real-time algorithm based price adjustments.

This to me feels most like generic A/B testing where they’re trying to identify optimal sales prices for future titles by offering different deals to different people. It could also be the result of some kind of classification of accounts that results in some kind of stratified pricing, like is done for regional pricing, but using account statistics rather than geolocation.

Why should some people have a better deal for the same product is because some people have better buying power, and they’re used to subsidize lower prices for those who don’t, so more people can experience it. It kind of follows the same reason for the existence of marginal tax brackets.

For whatever this is worth, Turtles made me nostalgic for Double Dragon, while Cosmic Encounter made me nostalgic for the X-Men Arcade game. Both fine, just hit different.

CEO of Mistral AI says warnings about extreme risks of artificial intelligence [presented by other AI companies] are often ‘distraction tactics’

I think makes more sense.

Epstein Visualizer at least was a thing at some point, not sure what’s up with it now, but it was a searchable graph database.

It’s a first person survival crafter with very strange science vibes.

Imagine you were a scientist on your first day at Black Mesa when Gordon caused the Lambda Incident (this is a Half-Life reference for those uninitiated) and in a kind of Subnautica style need to scrounge the environment for resources to research and crafted supplies and equipment to use to survive and explore further while encountering invaders as well as what are essentially SCPs or Objects of Power (Control/Alan Wake) throughout the facility and other environment all in the hopes of trying to escape with your life.

April had a content patch, 12 new subclasses and it enabled crossplay I believe.

I just want to see some more exceptionalism from Flute Guy.

It’s not just that it means nothing, it’s that it exists as the implication of something or anything that can be used to identify with the in-group.

For the awareness of the elderly, 6-7 is starting to evolve, at least locally, into a call and response with the response to a 6-7 hand gesture being 8-9 with a kind of horizontal movement of vertical hands in a similar fashion. I’m unsure how local the trend is, it’s true origin, or if it will spread.

It’s interesting that to those not initiated into the call and response by peers will see knowledgeable non-peers providing the response as mocking or failing to understand the meme, thus further cementing it’s role as a tool as an in joke to the 6-7’er, despite them now being on the outside of the evolution of the joke, which is a wonderful contradiction.

Having never used OF, I assumed it was a pay to access content model, I guess they additionally allow tipping, which isn’t a surprise, I assume there’s also a pay for specific content creation model. But what I don’t know is if the tipping, while linked to a creator, is linked to a specific piece of content. If it isn’t, wouldn’t a creator with any amount of mixed content be hard to evaluate? You couldn’t prove the tipping was related to an excluded category in that case.

The point of games is to have fun, “cheats” are essentially just difficulty options.

Once Upon a Galaxy has been my default game since I first played it.

It’s an asynchronous alternating activation autobattler (like Arcane Rush, or Storybook Brawl/Hearthstone Battlegrounds but you play against ghosts). Games take about 10-15 minutes.

It’s largely public domain fantasy themed, but has been expanding into the “legally distinct” cultural references as they add content, basically every captain/unit/treasure is a reference.

The shop mechanic is simplified, there’s no currency, you just get a set of choices, and can pick 1. You get two shops per round by default, lots of ways to get extra.

Asynchronous play means that you face challenging opponents that naturally evolve with the meta game but you can also take time to make thoughtful decisions.

The draft pool for the shop has a large base pool that you add to by selecting a custom sebset from a second large pool as your captain’s deck. The progression is through unlocking cards for each captain’s secondary pool, and unlocking new captains. You can naturally earn all cards through play, most captains are free, new captains are paywalled for a limited time.

Monetization is through 3 paths: cosmetics, acceleration of card unlocks, access to paywalled captains. I haven’t found it to be particularly exploitative or negative feeling.

My only gripe is minor, that it doesn’t have mid-run save/resume, but that is on their road map.

There is essentially no story, if that matters to you.

If it’s not obvious, I’m really enthusiastic about this game. I’m not affiliated/sponsored in any way. Happy to answer any questions.
