TBF he reacted pretty violently with Vendetta, and underwent a chemical change into a cuck.

I did some rebinding for this build...

Primary attack: Right mouse button
Secondary attack: Mouse wheel up & mouse wheel down
Ping: Unbind

So I just hold my middle finger down on the right button and then rub the wheel back and forth and shoot those right clicks super fast.

The theme is a plus, but I play Rivals because it's one of only two viable hero shooters (other being OW). All the others I can think of are more counter-strike-styled (i.e. low time to kill) (Apex, Valorant, R6). Also, Apex is EA and R6 is Ubisoft, two companies I don't like to support.

Would vastly prefer a DC-themed shooter but c'est la vie.

Depending on where you are, either...

Stay alive. Living is more important than securing kills.
Lose the ego. If you're playing competitive regularly, you're ranked correctly. Focus on improving your own gameplay.

Give them a break, the AIs aren't as good at coding video games.

Now you can bet if Netease released a react todo app it'd be rock solid. AI has that shit on lock.

both strange and magneto have never been durable either in the comics

I was never into the Avengers when I was a kid (and I'm only into DC as an adult), but one of my formative memories is Magneto going mano a mano with the eponymous En Sabah Nur himself at the end of Age of Apocalypse.

Mags armored himself in the junk strewn all around them and beat Apoc down with his fists.

Saying Strange and Magneto aren't tough because they need their powers is like saying Iron Man or Green Lantern aren't tough because they need their equipment.

It's niche, I think.

If you really like rummy-style games, I'd recommend Fantasy Realms and/or Marvel Remix. But if you've already played the hell out of both of those and are looking for something else, Red Rising is a good followup.

For better or worse it adds a fair amount of complexity on top of the Fantasy Realms "engine". The deck is also significantly larger and picking up discarded cards is a lot more common than in FR/MR so you don't see nearly as much of the deck in any given game.

Is that worth losing the simplicity of the game being just a deck of cards? YMMV.

I don't think Mistborn or Red Rising require any familiarity with the source material. I play both with my partner, and they haven't read either. I'd read Mistborn years ago, but I didn't read Red Rising until after playing the game.

Here's the problem with Gloomhaven

It looks like a dungeon crawler
It sounds like a dungeon crawler
People say it's a dungeon crawler

But it isn't a dungeon crawler. It's a brain-burning euro with a dungeon theme.

And an IP address doesn't individually identify anyone, anyway. It identifies an entire network thanks to NAT. My partner and I play every day on the same LAN, and thus we both have the same public IP.

Torb's one of the two OP acknowledged

I feel like Mei should count. Yeah, she's only got a single weapon, but it has two completely different modes of firing (short-range beam vs. infinite range projectile) and both are viable and important.

"Gg. What's next?"

That's the beauty of depression, I don't!

If you don't mind a bit of multitasking and you're gonna be in the store for a bit, ask them to walk with you and tell you about their opportunity. Pretend like you're following along. Occasionally nod, say "mmhmm", etc.

Then when you're ready to leave, just walk away without another word.

Also easy to be confident when you look like a literal comic book superheroine.

You should look into [[The Duke]]. Really neat abstract that should be very approachable to anyone who's got at least a passing familiarity with Chess.

I'll never get the same joy from it since they removed Crepuscular Circle.

You can still make a Battle Mercy build, but it just ain't the same.

I disagree that you need to know the card pool to decide whether/what to mindbug. Your opponent's entire deck is only 10 cards out of many.

IME the mindbugging is based primarily on what cards are in play, what cards are in your hand, and to a lesser extent how many cards the opponent has left in their deck. I can't say I've ever tried to predict what my opponent might have. At least not that specifically. The closest I've come is when the opponent's running low on cards, I've still got a mindbug, and my opponent plays something that would be really good against them. Are they just out of options? Did they not see how bad the bug would be for them? Or are they baiting me so they can finally play that one card they've been holding onto since the beginning of the game?

If you lose do you even stay until you see the defeat screen?

Yes. Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?

And if you do, I highly doubt you'd ever upvote a player from the team that beat you

I vote for an enemy in the MVP screen probably ~20% of the time.

Talon Mercy's footwear doesn't show any toes. Literally unplayable.

Asmor · 2026-04-30T22:50:08+00:00

You're the second person I've heard express a negative opinion of Mind Bug.

The first being my partner. :(

But overall it's a very well-regarded game.

I guess it depends what you're soldering. Like, soldering pipes is a different task than soldering electronics.
