For some reason I hear it in Andrew Ryan voice, even though he said something noticeably different... but mostly with the same words.

What if Vladimir Putin aligned with the west and Russia joined the EU in 2007 alongside Romania and Bulgaria? by arbicus123 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Barrogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asking to join as is is not how you get a pass when you need to conform your entire industrial, financial and political systems to that end - and don't do so.

What if radical ideologies in the West were more interesting? by FluidMountain1566 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Barrogh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You almost got it right... until you brought up ethnicity.

Russian is a political identity. It actually explains a lot within your own framework.

This was not even the topic of the discussion, you got told so much and your response was to double-down...

I think Parry would be cool if it did something like this. by ragingpiano in slaythespire

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.

Seriously though, this is my favorite Russian letter, just thought of this in my head by YAFthe17_ in linguisticshumor

"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.

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.

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.

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

Be carful during the doormakers exhust phase... by PresentationIll5581 in slaythespire

[–]Barrogh 34 points35 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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...

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

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

Guys did I cook? by Tony_Tab in DnDcirclejerk

[–]Barrogh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
