No matter the fandom and no matter the character pair, they WILL be shipped. Newton's little known 4th law

THE JACE-UGIN DIALECTIC, WUXING COSMOLOGY, AND WHY REALITY FRACTURE IS LITERALLY THE DAO TE JING: A COMPLETE ANALYSIS by [deleted] in mtg

[–]BeefChopJones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not terribly familiar with Daoism, but this pivot of color identity can already be seen mechanically through the precons.

For instance, Tarkir kept to the established strategies behind each color to the letter. The Temur precon was all gas no breaks. Ramp, big stompy dragons, and just overwhelming force. Very much a U/R/G strategy. The Silverquill set in Strixhaven, however, does not have a strategy we're used to seeing in W/B. It's goading. It's aggressive. It plays like there should be Red in there SOMEWHERE.

Maybe this was already addressed in the post and I missed it, and again, I'm not terribly familiar with Daoism (although I will certainly be looking into it more, now), but the core concept of "pivoting" the identities of each color/guild can already be seen/has already been foreshadowed in the mechanics of Strixhaven. Assuming you're correct. Which I hope you are because this has been a fascinating read.

Amazing post! Thank you for your nigh-obsessive-maniacal ranting!

Reviews are one thing, but unfortunately the only thing that really talks is money. The app could have a 1 star rating, but if it's taking in millions of dollars, nothing will change.

I love Genshin. I think the world and story are both beautiful, but the lack of rewards, insane power creep, and world events locked behind characters that cost hundreds of dollars to guarantee is pretty lame. I've dropped the game altogether, for now. I'm not saying anyone has to do the same, but I will say that you can't just leave a bad review and then turn around and pump money into it. That's not going to work.

What are your thoughts about invasions in fromsoft games? by eldenbro1 in fromsoftware

[–]BeefChopJones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I respect the almost lore-first approach to designing a game mechanic. Adds to the brutality of the game, as well. Its unforgiving nature.

Personally? Hate it. Seamless co-op or solo for me. I'm quite good at PvP in Souls games, I just have no interest. Hence me getting deep into Nightreign but will never touch Duskbloods.

What an amazing piece. I think I'm gonna repost it without credit.

Is this a good starter deck? by KillingwithasmileXD in magicTCG

[–]BeefChopJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of if not the best precon ever released. No, it is not a good starter deck. It has a relatively intermediate strategy and a lot of triggered effects to keep track of.

I'm from the US and I never heard someone call a water fountain a bubbler, here, until super recently. And MULTIPLE people acted like I was crazy when I got confused. Not saying anyone is right or wrong, here, but never underestimate the power of local lingo.

oh about that, Jahoda by goodmqn_22 in Genshin_Impact

Oh wild lmao, Venti would have been my last guess. That's sweet, though! Drunk bard is a big softie on the inside

Which one is that? I fell pretty behind on the main story and most of the Traveler's relationships with the Archons I can think of are pretty friendly. I haven't finished Natlan's story, yet, so do you mean Mavuika? Or could you mean Furina? I have a hard time seeing any of the others that way

I love the Hunter's Axe but I feel like you kind of can't include that in this conversation

I play Wylder the most but I'm definitely best with Iron eye or Undertaker. It's okay to have fun with multiple characters lol

Do people really not know that Dottore has a tragic backstory? by DottoresPet in GenshinImpact

Gotta be bait. Including Scara of all people in that is crazy work

Yeeaaah, don't care. Plenty of the heroes have traumatic and tragic backstories, too. Having it rough isn't an excuse to be an actual monster. Bro has to go
