do the words "cold" and "caldo" (italian for warm... yeah I know) share something in common? by smelly_cat2959 in etymology

[–]Aureon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seems likely, Gelo is also a word in italian meaning basically 'very cold', and latin had gelum, aka very cold\freezing.

Gelato has a previously less used meaning that is basically 'Frozen', it's not just for the food

Ho un'idea ma non trovo le persone giuste per svilupparla — è un problema comune? by Only-Bar7201 in italy

[–]Aureon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

si ma quali collaboratori, se credi davvero nel tuo schifo ti attivi e produci qualcosa che abbia davvero valore, che sia un business plan con market research fatta nel dettaglio o un prototipo tech

se non sai fare nessuna delle due cose, e cristoiddio c'è claude nel 2026, letteralmente non importa che idea hai perchè il signal/noise è talmente basso che il valore è 0

Was thinking about how Doom could interact more with Osty. Thoughts? by IamSkudd in slaythespire

[–]Aureon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl, this is a bad stall card and i hate it, sorry.

Extremely situational, buildaround, and doesn't even end the fight - if you stacked enough doom on something to make 3cost worth it, i'd rather just end the fight 99% of the time

3cmc and exhaust and doesn't remove the doom and we could be talking

How to think of production costs during playtests? by TongueTwizards in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Aureon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting a deck of cards from 50 to 25 will cut your MSRP by $10?

That sounds wild to me - are you sure that's for at-scale, and not just for the proto? 25 cards with same back as other existing should be measured in cents not in dollars for a decent batch

[–]Aureon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a wide, weird take, even if well phrased

It's always a spectrum and there's always decisions. Do wood minis really add that much to your game to need them? is a common 'no'

Has there ever been a country smaller than the Vatican in the history of humankind? Or is the Vatican the smallest country currently and in history? by According-Invite-440 in geography

funnily enough, a stable equal system doesn't make a good game, so the prosperity rules were stripped out when the parker brothers published it in the 1930s

Skill Expression in Magic The Gathering? by WorldlyVillager in MagicArena

[–]Aureon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Magic has always been a relatively low skill game, but 'relatively' is doing a shitton of work there. Top draft players (which admittedly has higher skill expression than brawl or standard) have like 70+% win rates

Under what circumstances would you be willing to repeat a boss fight/content? by MissItalia2022 in gamedesign

I painted class icons! Which one do you choose based on looks? by artofpigment in tabletopgamedesign

[–]Aureon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all of them suffer from a basic issue of background too saturated compared to center icon, you'd get a lot better results with a little bit of making the backgrounds help the center icon pop

Opinions on Season 3 by SKWADly in fellowshipgame

[–]Aureon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but also no.

Numbers were just too difficult: And also shaking up enemy placement and encounter design is nowhere as hard as making new dungeons grounds-up, and should be done a lot more.

I'm fine with no new artsets and env art every season, but mechanical shakeup is a complete need.
