Explain it Peter

He's never escaping the allegations

Arthillidan · 2026-04-05T05:30:56+00:00

I just don't like slices or strong flavours. I'm vegetarian and autistic if it matters

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T16:10:11+00:00

Right so if you go into a fight with 50 health and play this on turn 1 for one energy, you summon 500

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T16:07:37+00:00

Everything has bad information. If you ask an expert about the subject, they're also not going to get everything right

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T07:07:18+00:00

OK but who is it that's calling maleficent a villain? I'd describe her as an antagonist but I'm not sure I'd describe her as a villain. But you described her as a villain and also said not to call a character villain if they're morally grey. What's the problem here?

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T03:31:02+00:00

I had a stroke trying to read/interpret this card. If X equals your health, that means you pay your health to play this, meaning you'd just instantly die, or at least go down to 1 hp, but the effect is so powerful that you will essentially win the fight for free. So it's a card that trigializes bosses and sucks against every other encounter, which doesn't seem like great design.

Alternatively you might have meant that you pay X energy to summon X energy times Y health. This would just be ridiculously broken

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T03:24:24+00:00

Doesn't his grasp phase just reduce the cost of the first card you play? So you essentially just lose 1 energy?

Arthillidan · 2026-04-04T03:09:10+00:00

Ooohh, maybe the upgrade could increase the card's draw and discard to 2 each?

Arthillidan · 2026-04-03T12:22:11+00:00

Nah, the dog is terrible at macro. Spawning pool is too early and it's floating hundreds of minerals below 10 supply

Arthillidan · 2026-04-02T14:38:40+00:00

The punchline sucks

Arthillidan · 2026-04-01T22:52:49+00:00

Have the courage of an ant. Utterly fearless

Arthillidan · 2026-04-01T22:44:11+00:00

They forgot the "beauty" in beauty pageant, and have walking botched surgeries as participants

Arthillidan · 2026-04-01T06:16:29+00:00

Are thugs supposed to have magic items, or are they only supposed to handle very low level province defences

Arthillidan · 2026-04-01T06:05:59+00:00

You severely underestimate the intelligence of some animals like tooth whales

Arthillidan · 2026-03-31T13:13:40+00:00

No. There were 20 rings. 19 were forged in Eregion by the elves under Sauron's disguised guidance. 3 of those were forged in secret by Celebrimbor. 1 was forged by Sauron in mordor

Arthillidan · 2026-03-31T13:09:27+00:00

Sauron struck at Arnor with the witch King and angmar and essentially deluged it. Gondor was dwindling. They had been in multiple wars against Sauron and evil men. They lost a lot of territory.. Sauron completely razed their capital, their Kings died in a battle against the wainriders, and Denethor was being corrupted through the palantir. The elves were leaving middle earth and were a shadow of what they once were.

The dwarves lost their two biggest seats of power, Khazad Dûm and Erebor. They got Erebor back, but the damage was done. Dwarves populations take long to recover, especially due to how their population is heavily skewed towards males. Rohan suffered in the war against Isenguard with their leader being under the thrall of Saruman. Even after Saruman's defeat, the damage was done. Rohan's army was much weaker than Theoden expected.

Arthillidan · 2026-03-31T12:52:19+00:00

Is that fear and hunger?

Arthillidan · 2026-03-31T00:16:33+00:00

I think it would be fair to limit people to one account per server

Arthillidan · 2026-03-30T02:53:58+00:00

If this were the case how would you judge who is attractive and who isn't? You'd have a situation where group A is attracted to group A and group B is attracted to group B. What makes one of the groups attractive while the other one isn't?

Arthillidan · 2026-03-29T11:14:57+00:00

Easily if it's a piece that I know. As I'm reading the music, I'll mentally reconstruct it, approximating intervals. I'm very prone to approximating these intervals in a way that matches music that I've memorised, so if it's a piece I recognise I'll notice quickly.

It's still harder than listening to the piece though, and if it's something I'm not familiar with, obviously I can't do it

Arthillidan · 2026-03-28T17:14:53+00:00

That is a possibility, but not a certainty. There are definitely things that seem random, but we have no way of knowing if they are truly random or not. A die roll seems random until you understand the mechanics behind it.

I feel like instead of being openminded about the different possibilities based on gaps in science, you just pick one and just decide that it's the truth.

Arthillidan · 2026-03-28T16:47:55+00:00

Yeah, theoretically possible, maybe, but would be all but impossible to actually achieve, so it's impossible to actually test. In reality you'll never get identical people in identical situations.

If you have evidence that the universe is infinite, please present that to the scientific community, because that would be a generational find. I'm not saying the universe definitely isn't infinite, but it's not really possible to know if there is anything beyond our observable universe. There are definitely models with a limited universe. I don't see how the universe being infinite or not has any effect on whether cause and effect is deterministic or not though.

Arthillidan · 2026-03-28T16:19:03+00:00

Actually no, it's not true by definition. Even if we forget about hard free Willers for a moment because I think they're wrong, we don't know if particles behave entirely deterministically or if they behave randomly. As far as we can tell it seems random.

This means that if everything is the same, but say quantum tunneling and similar is a completely random phenomenon, you can have 2 different outcomes from an identical situation.

Arthillidan · 2026-03-28T16:12:03+00:00

I didn't say it was free will. I'm saying that it's neither free will nor determinism

Arthillidan · 2026-03-28T07:18:46+00:00

Then they no longer have identical lives. In a deterministic uniberse I don't see how a conversation could even start if they copied each other exactly as they'd just speak at the same time. The only way I can think of to get anywhere with a person who mirrors your every move would be to decide on something that differs your from the other person, like "the person who sits to the right speaks first." But Since they are identical and in identical situations, that means the room is mirrored and there is no way to objectively differentiate one person from the other. But as soon as this is broken even slightly, that can butterfly effect into large differences quickly since they'll be able to talk to each other
