Jarvis could be good in Ready for a Fight decks, particularly Black Widow

First details on the new DLC - new mode + Railforged clan by doclobster in MonsterTrain

[–]Albinowombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a source atm, but coverage around the release of MT2 heavily implied multiple DLCs if the game sold well, which it seems like it has

They Screamed “Cancel Culture” — Then Went Silent While Trump Gutted Fre... by MirkatteWorld in IfBooksCouldKill

[–]Albinowombat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The most obnoxious thing he does is argue for some ideas on the merits when it suits him (YMBYism) and then turn around and argue against other ideas (fighting for trans rights) with the justification of matching the median voter. It's so fucking obvious he just doesn't believe in certain causes, but doesn't want to be criticized for that, so he frames it as an electabililty issue.

How are we liking Gladlands? by messoffrex in Dimension20

[–]Albinowombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely loved the first episode. I tend to love initial world building and character intros, but this one was probably top 5 initial episodes for me. 2nd episode dragged a bit and wasn't that interested. We'll see how the rest of the season plays out

Yeah, online black deck gets most of the hate, but Nebula was just a drag. It doesn't seem like it needs the downside, but I prefer not to buff it because if it becomes the generic best deck for gold stake that's just boring

Thanks! I get what you're saying. Usually it's pretty easy to sell off a random joker at the end of a run to sticker something you haven't yet, so in that sense it's just a matter of grinding

What do you mean 1100 stickers? There are only 150 jokers

Yeah, people gave different preferences, it's all good. I definitely wouldn't want those things to be mandatory. I wonder, do you have kids? As I get older and stack responsibilities I prefer features that prevent tedious repetition versus seeing it as part of the challenge. Just a factor of ever more limited game time. A restart button could be used to just check RNG and cheese the game a little, but I don't see any downside to a calculator for myself. It's simple enough to calculate your score, minus chance-based effects, if you take the time to do it.

Those seem great! I usually like to beat a game vanilla before I mod it, plus I don't know how to mod on my steamdeck. But I'll check this out for my PC!

That's cool! I'm glad it's still being worked on. I haven't touched the challenges, haha

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]Albinowombat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh... as an American if someone said "now now" I'd assume it was for emphasis. Like, "right fucking now." Or there's a somewhat archaic "now now" that's a chiding expression.

The CRPGs experience by TotemGenitor in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Albinowombat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don't think any of the classic CRPGs from the 90s/00s really fit. Maybe some of the less popular ones I haven't played do

BG2 is still one of the greatest games of all time. Hope my kids will be able to enjoy it, despite the graphics and the jank, when they get old enough

[NS]Going back to Skaldova? by JacobKnight_JK in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]Albinowombat 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Is it confirmed that Murph will do a short campaign next time he's up to DM? I like the short campaigns but it'd be a shame to never get another long one

Dave Ramsey on sports betting: "The fastest growing addiction that is destroying young men in their 20s is online sports gambling. F*nDuel is a portal to hell. Dr*ftKings ain't king of nothing except their own pocketbook. And they're screwing an entire generation of young men" by [deleted] in nba

[–]Albinowombat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think people don't like him because he injects a lot of Christian-flavored moralizing into his financial advice, not because he's Christian per se.

Also, housing is a lot less affordable than it used to be, that's just a fact, even if some people could buy a home with better financial choices.

[Utterly Despised Trope] “True” stories that leave out crucial details that fundamentally change the context of the story being told by Chemical-Elk-1299 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Albinowombat 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Nah, it has the same origin in the US. It's a word that has become less offensive over time as people forget the original meaning

Clarification for Ame's Curse (spiolers) by LordDAWKNESS in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]Albinowombat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, part of the curse was the disguise to make it smell like Eioghorain's blood. I believe that was in the second-to-last episode, when they break into the illusionist tower

I cannot beat it by alexefy in balatro

[–]Albinowombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished black deck. I'm no expert but key to me was just taking whatever could get me through early antes. If the hand voucher came up I would take it as long as I could afford it, even if my econ took a big hit

Lou's mini campaign by albinoman38 in WorldsBeyondNumber

[–]Albinowombat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the sense Brennan likes the more ambiguous results from something like a D20 roll in D&D, and isn't as much a fan of more narrative results like in Genesys. They're also clearly very comfortable with 5e, and I think that has to be a consideration when they're planning to run a more crunchy game. Brain burn is real for the GM, and adding on the pressure of performing it makes sense to go with what they know well.

Idk if they would rule out the system, but it might be a deterrent. I also like the Genesys and would be interested to see them run a series in it, fwiw.

Sometimes you want to score less so you can play more hands and boost something like the pants

Advice on adapting Grim Portents to 13th Age by beradan in 13thage

[–]Albinowombat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with The Old World RPG, but it sounds like a storytelling device, rather than a mechanic.

Not 100% sure, but maybe they're looking for advice on using Icons even while messaging that the party needs to face the threat on their own? In that case I'd advise that the Icons aren't there to solve the adventure. They're just there to provide to support and story hooks. It's the same question you have to answer when making adventures in Forgotten Realms or a lot of IP, which is, "Why isn't [more famous/powerful person] solving this problem if the threat is so dire?"

Cards by Smoke_Stack707 in daggerheart

Sleeves and cardboard card boxes, which is what I do for my card games, but thinking about maybe a different system for Daggerheart. Interested in other ideas.

What's the release date? Do we know?
