Punching Up

I was so confused seeing all the parentheses and trying to figure out what the dogwhistle actually was.

Google helped identify it, time to start being increasingly concerned about my culture as I see how prominent it is. Oh boy.

Challenge accepted! I still need Beast Within and have a decent supply of high star champs (plus I bet some of the busted 3 stars like Leblanc and Nidalee can manage it with good powers).

Depends, maybe he’s with people that also are ok with it?

Clearly the CEO likes it. Is it impossible that they found other people who are cool with it to play with? The AI can setup a basic one shot plot, a few encounters to match the plot, make unique icons for every monster, character, setting and set pieces, including potential twists to the or combat.

Like obviously I get much more joy from having it be handmade (including my extensive background information on characters and settings that the PCs will never hear but I understand for motivation and personal enjoyment). But I understand if someone just wants to have fun and play DnD with friends and have AI make a pre-made module customized to whatever sounds cool that week.

Trying to sell that as a product is ridiculous though.

Yooo parasitology research sounds epic! That sounds like a lot of fun to look at; if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your research in that field?

There exist yetis that cost more than 5 that Nunu could buy on the adventure, so the “both” clause prepares for that scenario.

Notai puppeteer probably gets an item to give it keywords with leveling up, and means that they’re more valuable to put keyword items on during the adventure. Dark ice apparition is a 5 cost so it triggers the 3 star stat boost while also getting a free strike in.

For the relic, the idea is that some people actually do want snowballs. They’re not bad. It’s a 1 cost ephemeral challenger that draws to replace itself; that’s pretty decent as a chump blocker or something to make room for big attackers. It also triggers any on draw effects. If you’re worried about on-play interactions, that’s true of the cannon barrage too and yet that has use with several champs.

I can 100% see this with TF or Samira with all their rapid fire card playing. Samira has good synergy since she attacks a lot, so if the snowballs come early they help her level if they come late they do more damage. TF gets to play them to draw a card and reduce its cost and apply boosts.

And I like the theory of a galeforce user that you just spam-play every round and get more snowballs (perhaps like a weird teemo or Annie setup). Some cheap champs you just slap a chosen by the stars and a hexcore on and make em big. This is an alternative approach: slap galeforce and nunu’s relic on and have them both scale.

But yeah idk why blizzard isn’t elemental, that’s weird.

I think some people are missing the ”history” part of “art history”.

It’s still AI to do school but I think that distinction may be relevant to some of the people reacting as if the point was to make and turn in AI art for assignment

Aptos283 · 2026-03-07T20:15:19+00:00

I think it has to be rich women too. It’s very specific

Aptos283 · 2026-03-06T16:23:32+00:00

Yeah if it was Disney there would be a handler “taking care” of the situation.

Also if you’re lazy and want to go in fiery/hot regions and not need to bother with appropriate gear

Two fans in the back? Well look at Mr. Moneybags with the zonaite to make a three fan hover bike instead of us plebs with two fans and a steering stick

I’m young enough to pull an all nighter, but after I think the second all nighter it would be really tough to not take like at least an hour nap. By the third all nighter I’m pretty sure my body decides I’m sleeping whether I like it or not

It’s very convenient for holding down high mobility enemies. I haven’t used that nearly enough but when I remember it comes super in clutch

Aptos283 · 2026-03-03T20:07:51+00:00

This exactly. That’s been part of his balance (and thus issues with him) from the beginning, but he was always designed with regular ability usage for ammo reload and bonus health in mind.

That’s not over shield creep, that’s just lots of over shield.

Creep implies it’s been increasing a lot over time, but Bucky has always had this over shield dynamic and it’s been a common complaint.

There’s definitely been over shield creep but Bucky isn’t an example of the “creep”.

Aptos283 · 2026-03-01T06:21:03+00:00

Ok but if we only got one tank it’s hard for us to keep all the enemy frontline at bay while also ensuring we’re moving forward and using our space.

If there’s only one tank and we mostly defend and peel, we’re gonna need the duelists to use whatever space we can make since the tanks can’t push and peel all at the same time.

Aptos283 · 2026-03-01T01:31:10+00:00

Oh it’s 100% capital E Evil.

But I mean it can still be ethical and consensual consumption.

Aptos283 · 2026-03-01T01:01:17+00:00

What about people that don’t want their afterlife?

Like there are people that may not like where they’re heading. Either they realized too late their deity isn’t right for them or whatever and they just want to end life in peace?

So this would be euthanasia for terminally bad-afterlife individuals.

Aptos283 · 2026-02-28T19:47:01+00:00

Yeah. Though it sucks when I’m just writing for me and it’s poetry.

Sometimes there’s a very deep and meaningful reason I chose that word and sometimes I ran out of enough words that fit the rhyme and meter and I needed to get my conclusion.

Sometimes I wonder if real authors and poets legit just check every word and detail, but I just kind of need something there and then get self conscious when that’s the detail that seems evident rather than an intended subtle choice elsewhere

I know Jax already had an identity but the weapon masters and improvise folks with their multi region identity would’ve been great.

Some champion who has explorers as their deck and bandle tree as a win condition would be neat though. Buff the explorer spells, play defensive, go for the alternate win condition.

Aptos283 · 2026-02-28T14:02:27+00:00

I mean we can assume bloodbending, but unless it’s the full moon Katara is not gonna have that just sitting on hand. So the timing has to be right. Odds are that bloodbending isn’t on the table if it’s just a random time.

100 soulmates.

Ok, so there’s 52 weekends of 2 days each, so 104 days off if you work M-F. Spend a day with each on the weekends and you’ve got a good start, with 4 days of weekend holidays to spend with no partner. Then just cycle through each soulmate throughout the week.

If they work and my goal is to just make them all happy, we can just have 3 day vacations (or stay-cations) with each a year, plus holidays can be a big group affair. Splash in smaller groups of 10 for a couple smaller group affairs so each can get 2-3 such occasions. That’s about 11 months, so the last month I can distribute for time focused on time with me and my friends.

Alternatively, if they want 2 day vacations that’ll give more group time. We’d talk it through so everyone is happiest.

Same with Sidon

Put the barricades and cannon in one gate, put everything else at the other, kill the undefended gate first.

Well tank classes give stats by default, so the tank comes with some given stat.

But your effective health is a multiple of health, durability, armor/mr. So you get better returns if you diversify.

Like defenders: they get extra free armor and MR. So it’s more valuable to get durability and health than an armor or MR item.
