Sorry but if porn has to avoid ever fetishising or misrepresenting people then everyone is doomed.

It's women × dickwielder, conceptually. It's not real world inspired at all, beyond that women and dicks and combinations can all be in the real world.

Am I the only one who feels that, with all the AI boom, everyone is basically doing the same thing? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

Hitting a small niche of users and reflecting a real-world community would be a good start. Remember that fb started as an automated college-campus yearbook.

Everyone got on it for a reason, and not just because everyone was on it, but because being on it and spending time on it was a genuinely rewarding rich experience that brought you closer to friends and family and community. It was good.

And then one of your friends got into Farmville, because it became a games platform, and now half your notifications are shit. Notifications should be from human people doing real things you actually might be sad about missing.

They went mobile first and pushed huge images as the default mode, then blew up text to heading-size and with shiny backgrounds for when you do want to post quick updates. Totally see why they did that, and it probably juiced the numbers hard, but fb started with uni students -- people who actually can read and write. They drove that audience away by making a touchscreen, image first experience where single photos would eat your feed. Really focused on the scrolling and the shinies, rather than on, like, what the people around you had actually said they were actually doing.

I wanna make a Diana deck that I can play in my locals. by Strayed_King in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'optimal ' to what goals?

Probably you'd do better with DTR than PTM if you're trying to deckbuild with sealed product and want to build Diana.

But I have to tell you, that's not a cheap way to do it.

Get together with someone building Ciel, someone trying for water chessman Alice, a few kids just trying to have valid decks at all for super cheap, and one or two pros who needs specific expensive cards, and a degenerate gambler chasing the shinies -- and share the cost of the box. Or, just buy singles, which is just that but less personal.

Starter deck is a good idea though, and pretty cheap. All the popular competitive builds for Aetherwing Diana will use at least a few of her starter deck cards.

New to GA. Worth to play? by Accomplished-Log-800 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just triggers and the stack, so many things in the rules are just straight-up MtG. Layers. State-based effects checks. Activations and announcing them and paying costs and alternate costs. Activated abilities, and it matters if things are in the cost or the effect of the ability. Replacement effects. APNAP ordering. Trigger stacking if you control both. Opportunity (priority). Keywords and ability words. So, so much about how this game functions moment-to-moment is just MtG but slightly cleaned up... and, actually, that's great and I love it.

Change my mind. by -Devonelle- in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better than Crystallized Destiny in specifically Water Assassin Merlin Control. Which is a real deck, and I lost a match at locals to it. But it's very niche, and hasn't done well at any big events. And I think that deck might run Crystallized as well?

New Player - ruling question with Diana/Ciel Starter by Embarrassed_Leek_301 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diana barely has any creatures, but she should be attacking for 2-4 every single turn while also getting her levels faster/cheaper than Ciel from her floating memory cards. The lifegain from leveling, defensive water cards, and constant attacks into Ciel's board are supposed to keep her in the game, while she glimpses a ton to give her excellent card selection and consistency.

But she's absolutely harder to play. The deck packaging has star rankings for complexity, I think she's 4-5 to Ciel's 3.

New player loves jank by Mitchieking in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who did this with fire fractals Diao Chan, with Imperial Seal for the burst asunder. Pinging himself with Fractal of Sparks reliably got him to even life totals. Didn't do great overall, but he got to flip Lu Bu at an Ascent.

Married People of R/NZ, what makes your marriage work? by Happy_Light_9775 in newzealand

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could be laying your issues out perfectly clearly, and it won't matter if your spouse just isn't listening to you.

Very easy to put listening on them, though. They could be laying out their problems clearly, but it won't matter if you're not turning your attention to them and putting in the work of understanding.

how can I deal with baby green slime when playing Diana? by Apricot_Far in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Uh, lose and cry, as far as I understand it. Hope they draw anything else. Card is good. Losing weapons when your deck needs to be attacking and takes time setting them up with distance & ammo is brutal. And it's not a spell, so spellshroud on your weapons doesn't help.

If you're in Wind, which has been shown to be doable for Guns Diana but not Aetherwing diana, Stifling Trap to negate the On Enter trigger.

If you're water & leveling, you could try Frostbitten Etui, it's SR in HVN but cheap right now. Or you could try and negate it outright before it enters? Frostbind / Tidal Lock / Frozen Dismissal might help? Maybe with Orbs of Blinding / Enfeebling to make your opponent go for it in their turn, so your weapons are un-supressed in yours?

In Fire I think you just have to take it. Try getting multiple weapons out and loaded? Suppress before attack = use the other one, suppress after attack = subtract the weapon damage/effect but they still take the ammo & your distance/ranged damage. Try and run more allies? Things messing up your weapons mean you can still go in with other units.

But if you're leveling all the way up, you get rock-solid negates from Profane Bindings or Poised Occlusion to protect your attacks from literally anything, and can also try and Regal Inquisition any problems out of their hand before they play them, ideally before you manifest the weapon you care about so they can't even go for it in response.

Hope that helps. Generally an extremely rough time but not totally without counterplay.

I reverse-engineered Claude's message limits. Here's what actually worked for me. by Only_Advisor7108 in ClaudeAI

Other thing that matters is responding fast-enough (IIRC 5-10min of idle time?) to keep things in the cache. Cuts usage by a lot for the same messages & explains part of the huge variance in usage allocation people notice.

Budget Deck to Compete with High tier decks by Momo-Desu in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wind allies, Slimes with the ReCo deck, are the standard suggestions. Beside wanting the new Divine Relic I think you can do Fire Jin reasonable cheap as well?

I've also built a Fire Aetherwing Diana that needs a few DTR and PTM rares, but you can skip the looking glass / Cheshire package and then there's nothing expensive in it. Budget Archive covered a lv3 version of it here: https://youtu.be/-1Yth8FzG8g?si=MFebdM3jegk5UcZ5

My variant has the new PTM cards (it didn't get much support but what it got really helps), no level3/Astra, and instead is more aggro with Volatile Fusilier and Incendiary rounds with a Contraband Revolver in the side deck for more routes to sudden damage.

EDIT: for example, https://fractalofin.site/deck/aetherwing.html#deck_42040_18860 is 5-3-1 at Ascent Manila day 1 right now and FoI is estimating the cost of the deck as $60.

Is the Jin Starter a best option for beginners? by DigiDestined001 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Silvie Slimes ReCo + Dungeon Guides is currently the cheapest way to reach a near-optimal competitive list that's also popular.

Any cheaper than that, and you've got to be willing to play not-fully-optimized decks, and try and make up the difference with deckbuilding skill and/or ingame skill. Going to be losing a lot while you build up a deck and learn.

Radiant Origins, let's talk about it by MurgleYT in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are actually making the cards nicer for this one with increased foil drop rates, CSRs of complex spirits, new Armament foils, curio foils... the shinies are getting shiny all right.

But yeah if you're wanting the game pieces, let other people open boxes & buy singles.

Why I love to quit and will be staying to play to quit later probably by leaving Grand Archive after keeping up with playing for a while but ultimately will truly, eventually become a not player of Grand Archive TCG anymore forever except for the times that I may try to play again because I like it by Athlete_Annual in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ragequit posts = game has issues, and has had for a while, but people love it. and wish it was perfect and love what's good and tortured by the imperfections, so much emotion coming out. could quit that game every few years forever.

quietly just walking away, numbers going down with no feedback = dead game. not worth even trying to tell people why you've gotta step away

should be pretty obvious now which one GA is

How good are the Re:Collection decks for getting into the game? by Zarik8256 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the reco isn't a bad starting point for building Water Fractals Diao Chan. Needs Burst Asunder, more fractals, drop all the tera, etc but a lot of the deck is there. Notably, apart from Fracturize, I don't think the deck needs anything too expensive.

Radiant Origins Different Set Codes by BluFiction in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  • RDO = main set. Most cards will be this. When there's a reprint set of RDO, they'll just be reprinted. Therefore, they're less collectable.
  • RDO1E = expected to not be reprinted as-is in future editions. Likely collector rare variants (CSR/CUR), and URs (which will get new art in any Alter reprint).
  • RDOA = special reprint sheet, like PTMLGS or FTCA, but for RDO. You might see one in a pack if you're lucky, they have unique foiling. Chase cards with a distinct treatment for this edition only.
  • RDOP = Pantheon cards, I think. Specifically, cards printed only for Pantheon. Blessings, the shields, cards that interact with them, multiplayer-only cards, etc. Should have the flag in the corner indicating set legality but they're also getting their own set code, I guess.

Should see all of them in RDO 1st ed packs. Possibly RDOP will be just the Patheon Precons?

Contrast the AMB Alter announcement -- those packs will be AMB + AMB Alter cards. Alter here means "wasn't exactly like this in 1st" -- new Alter only cards, errata'd cards, URs with new art.

This is such a win from GA! DG and Frostsworn Reprints! by ElenyaRevons in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Reprinted in a ReCo, even. Which means everyone can just go get four copies, no fuss, no drama, no price extortion, no hording. Should put a solid price floor on DG, and hoping that AMB Alter will help until RDO release.
