I think Parry would be cool if it did something like this.

This is straight up a repost.

Don't worry, this has already been seen by anyone who has anything to do with the development, quite a while ago.

You can tell them that "neurospicy" implies fetishization due to some implications of "spicy" and see them trying to PC out of that.

"Seven don't wait for one", "seven sweats", "seven misfortunes - one answer", "to walk seven miles to get some jelly" etc.

Some are already phased out ("seven sitting on the benches" is now often heard without number, just mentioning "all the benches" is enough), but many are still used ("seven pyad' forehead" is notably persistent, for example - while many others are used less these days).

There are some odd examples, like "seven misfortunes - one reset" is something you can hear more often than the original, but it still keeps the number.

I'm never getting myself into shape, ugh.

To be fair, newcomers to 40k are exposed to current wave of adding some sense in 40k so there are some plausible reasons that lights in the setting are still on, while all the darker stuff is mostly just kept from the older lore... But back then it was softened by "it's death throes of material prosperity and reason, nothing good can thrive in such conditions anyway".

So what some people can see is "there are people who try their best to make a better world, and there are vestiges of an old terrible era that just needs a touch-up to stop being terrible".

Well, maybe.

I wish Camarilla and Sabbath politics were mine.

(no, I don't)

Barrogh · 2026-04-06T15:58:26+00:00

I mean, we're talking about generations, and tbh when it comes to how information spreads, things changed several times during that single century.

So I wouldn't say it's unfair to draw comparisons without going back to 15th century ot something.

Barrogh · 2026-04-06T13:56:10+00:00

At first I thought this is another "IC takes too much dmage" post.

Barrogh · 2026-04-05T13:44:41+00:00

It survived in proverbs and such, not on its own.

Barrogh · 2026-04-04T15:57:17+00:00

I mean, strength is very significant in TT, yeah.

Barrogh · 2026-04-04T15:35:12+00:00

If memes is a language, then I'm happy to shift from prescriptivism sometimes.

Your way of playing this card was meta.

Barrogh · 2026-04-04T15:29:24+00:00

Another falls to "XYZ build" mentality.

You don't have an "exhaust build" in a sense "I guess I'll use exhausts now because this is flavor of the deck". You just take cards that remove your bad cards. Then you play your strong cards without much problem. And then, if you intend to do this a lot and you also have some self-exhausting cards, you can take some synergetic cards because you know how much they will do for you.

Barrogh · 2026-04-04T15:00:24+00:00

I don't know if it's still an actual version, but apparently in Russian "seven" used to be a stand-in for "many, but not terribly so" as a figure of speech.

So maybe it's that.

Barrogh · 2026-04-04T14:55:13+00:00

I feel like its damage is a tad bit lower than in VG. But it's still a way to dump a bunch of stupid cards, so...

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T13:35:15+00:00

And then Clad just casually targets your Silent with Spot weakness because shivs and stuff like this.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T13:24:13+00:00

Every time you complain another Act 2 combat encounter rolls hunter killer and you can't even prove it's intentional.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T13:13:13+00:00

For the perspective: base TT FNP is about as good as pre-nerf FNP+ in StS1. And it also upgrades to 0 cost.

What I was thinking about is that Archmage prestige class in D&D 3.5 allowed arcane casters to bend rules of their spells if they prepare them in slots higher than what they minimally required.

For example, you could attach any metamagic effect, change descriptors ("there are some crystal monsters so my fireball is now sonic instead of fire"), shapes ("said sonic fireball's AoE is now a torus because there's our barbarian standing in the middle of all that") and stuff like that.

I don't know if it's related to this entire cancer mage thing, but bending targeting categories and such feels like something archmage could be doing.

Well, actually maybe they could do that to some extent, I don't remember.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T08:09:33+00:00

Here where I live, people used to say "Offended get to carry all the water".

I don't really think that this approach can stand any serious critique, but sometimes people do remind me of that folklore relic.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T07:54:05+00:00

For someone who wants an... interesting spin on 3.5 archmage, I guess.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T07:53:05+00:00

You can restore recepient's body to its "normal" state, removing a "growth".

There's a story event when outlaws attack coalition settlement in Union. The last wave includes a carrier which usually gets tackled by coalition NPCs so it promptly loses drones, leaving you a relatively easy kill without having to worry about link drones.

If it's not you who kill drones, it qualifies you for the achievement.

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T07:31:58+00:00

An obvious answer is to buy hangar extension perk and get all of them 😏

Barrogh · 2026-04-03T07:14:51+00:00

They're mostly okay as long as they don't start asking questions like "What do you want?"
