I feel like it would be easier to actually make a deck than to waste the time to photoshop these cards. Combined with the time to come up with the idea. I wish I had this amount of time to waste.

Here’s the part I don’t get:
- Post a fake awesome thing on the internet.
- People say wow.
- But it’s not like they know you, or will ever meet you.
- Proved fake!!1!
- But it’s not like they know you, or will ever meet you.
Really, where’s the payoff? Do you think, one day, people will be sitting around a bar, discussing “All Your Base Are Belong to Us,” and you’ll say, “yea, I made that,” and they’ll say wow?

But, you see, you won’t.
I went to the thread and saw that there seems to be a reasonable explanation for this. (Cards scanned separately, then organized to make a poster with confusing aesthetic choices.)
Then I wondered why I was being sent to a completely random and pointless internet argument on Reddit from Boing Boing, let alone coming back here to post about it.
Then I figured I may as well just browse Reddit if I want to read all the Reddit arguments, but then I tried to remember why it was that I try to stay out of Reddit arguments and read Boing Boing instead.
Now I’m going to lunch.

Well, he was selling prints of the poster and replica decks. So I wouldn’t say there was no reason.

It was a cool idea though.

Yep. There’s always one joker in the deck.

Give it a name.
Huh… I was expecting something more mathsy, one of those “estimated frequency of card pickups vs steadily decreasing chance of finding a card you need means it’s negligibly probable for this to take less than a million years” sort of things. But that’s just some sloppy hoaxing right there.

Unless you’re spending a lot of time in Vegas nightclub back alleys.
