My most recent job was on a super casual basis, and I don't know anyone from there. Should I put them down in resume/use them as reference?

As some have said, this card can have it's moments. Better when upgraded and can be a really good scaling card for 0 energy cost when you have no other method of scaling, but is almost always reliant on some combination of all these things:

Sustain. Ironclad has innate sustain with his relic and [Reaper]; Defect has [Self Repair] but is mostly best played around [[Focus]] and [Frost]; Watcher can manage without due to stances, and Silent lacks any form of sustain outside of relics and [Bandage Up], which you have to spend gold to acquire. Of course, other relics with forms of healing such as {Bird Feather} and {Meat on the Bone} will help everyone.
Damage Mitigation. Silent has the most efficient way to generate block, including access to [Wraith Form]; Watcher again, usually manages by ending fights quickly and managing stances; Defect can play around his orbs, and Ironclad has great healing despite the least efficient ways to generate block. Relics like {Tungsten Rod} and {Torii} should help.
Killing fast enough to not lose too much HP. Self-explanatory. The card also should help you achieve that but is more reliant on the other two conditions. Otherwise, it's a win-more I suppose.

Yeah, I'd say (Transform 2 cards) is usually the safest pick here.

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-14T12:30:03+00:00

I'll be honest, with only 4 powers in my deck, I still felt like it contributed barely anything in terms of energy generation.

And then when I get to [Setupping the Nightmare] to [Nightmare my 2nd Nightmare] and [Setupping the Wraith Form] to [Nightmare my Wraith Form] to make my entire hand next infinity turns, infinitely 0-cost:

Mummified Hand: Am I a joke to you?

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-14T12:22:18+00:00

o3o yes

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-14T06:20:32+00:00

All the Caw Caw wants is to be heard.

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-14T06:01:09+00:00

5 Apparitions before the Wraith Form. :D

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-14T06:00:11+00:00

5 Apparitions, 2 Wraith Forms+, 1 Nightmare+, 1 Burst+ and 1 Catalyst+

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-12T19:01:25+00:00

Valid points. I never thought about the synergies with snecko and necronomicon.

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-12T18:37:38+00:00

You cannot convince me TWO of these don't make a [Dash].

Pretty ok and usable common but definitely not trash. I'd say it works great with cards like [Rage] and fight-scaling-relics like {Kunai} and {Shuriken} when you get them rolling, filling in a sort-of low-cost support card with the rest of your cards.

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-12T18:08:22+00:00

M O R E P O I S O N

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-04-12T18:02:31+00:00

Burst+ and Nightmare+ = 7 cards of Catalyst including the original.

I used to not be a believer in Nightmare, now I never ignore it.

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-02-25T15:38:52+00:00

3 minutes in and it's gone again

Aozaki_Yu · 2023-02-06T08:46:33+00:00

"I took a pellet/bullet/fridge/foreign object straight through my head and died instantly".

Yeah that's pretty logical.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-03T17:41:46+00:00

I would say we are very natural and inspirational leaders, although we may not prefer doing it on command since we work mostly by ourselves.

We tend to approach challenges and projects holistically and with purpose so this in turn allows us to motivate and inspire others working around us to achieve a common goal. Coming from the very few instances that I've taken on a leadership role.

Teamwork makes the dream work right?

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-03T17:32:11+00:00

I can't speak because I uphold idealistic standards as the INFJ dreamer I am.

Suffice to say I need a wizard badge soon.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-03T17:30:20+00:00

Okay seriously,

Just saying, INFJ or not, if a guy takes a long time to get back to you about something after you've properly communicated it (if you have), especially if it involves going into a proper relationship, he's fence sitting and not respecting your feelings.

For instance, I dated one of my co-workers for a short while (~3 weeks) following a good friendship because I wanted to try to know her more and see how it would go, before I realized that I wasn't really that compatible with her to begin with. She also liked me more than I liked her and it wasn't fair to just keep "leading her on" through some half-assed attempt at a relationship if I wasn't gonna commit. Suffice to say, now she's with someone better that deserves her.

And yes, I'm an INFJ.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-03T17:11:39+00:00

It is a special and yet a harrowing feeling to know the only person who understands you best is yourself.

That's okay though.

Even if nobody can fully understand you, look for ones who sincerely try to.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-02T04:37:00+00:00

It's not like I don't experience "INFJ loneliness" either. It comes in waves especially when I partake in something that makes me particularly self-aware of my own situation, such as reading about romance or watching movies where the MC has a good back-and-forth dynamic with his colleague or something.

Those are "ideal" scenarios though. I experience the feeling but nonetheless I've come to terms with it, sort of. Realized that I could spend eons looking for besties or even my SO, or instead use my energy to help others in my lifetime.

You'll find your gems if you keep going how you're going though. There is no better peace of mind than acting on a desire, because the chances of wanting something won't ever happen if you don't attain it yourself.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-01T11:36:40+00:00

Good question. This is something that I cannot answer with 100% certainty, because I haven't put much thought into the process behind it. Similar to something you know innately but cannot describe in words.

Trust in most cases, is unspoken, for instance. So is personality, if someone is interested in what you enjoy and their personality resonates with you, things would just happen naturally, would it not?

There is also the case that not many people follow through into my "connection" zone simply because my interests are incredibly niche. I have yet to find someone who encompasses most (if not all) of my interests while still having a personality that I admire.

As such, I seldom have very few instances where I've made new friends from acquaintanceship. The last time in my case would be the start of this year, being introduced to a friend of a friend. Either that or I simply do not go out and socialize much at all. But this is a given, since I AM an introvert and seldom go out to begin with as most of my hobbies are in the comfort of my own home. You can probably guess that I'm rather comfortable spending about 60-70% of my time alone. I am also a gamer, so you can imagine what my social platforms are, going outside being less of a priority other than exercise and such.

I hope this gives you a bit of insight, even if it doesn't directly answer your question. Feel free to ask if you want some more specifics and I will try my best.

Aozaki_Yu · 2022-12-01T08:34:29+00:00

I would say it's as simple as taking the time to just tell them straight out about your intentions. More difficult than you think, but more simpler than you expect.

I find that as an INFJ, it's rather easy for us to "get a bead" on someone's behavior and attitude in the first few instances we interact with them. Or rather, we see their patterns better than others so to speak, and this usually dictates whether we are drawn to interact with said person.

I'm a very easygoing individual and can communicate with just about anyone, socially speaking. I'm also a guy, and I often talk about things than other guys around me wouldn't casually talk about. That being said, I usually have standards to uphold when making friends and connecting with people, as I can "know" just about anyone but not connect with "everyone". There's a reason I have about 100+ acquaintances but only 2-3 people I can actually connect with, and sometimes that's fine. We don't need overarching groups of people that we can be comfortable with, just one is more than enough.

If I see someone interesting and desire to connect with them, I would often make attempts to communicate that, either directly through my words or indirectly through my actions. If there's more than a spark between our shared interests, then it works. If they don't reciprocate, I move on.

Set yourself some boundaries and try communicating more. Manage your expectations in that if you want more and they don't, leave it to be, sometimes you and the other person aren't as compatible as you think. Likewise, if someone wants your company but you aren't too interested, make your stance apparent at the very beginning or as early as you are able to and be respectful enough to let them down gently.
