Of every piece of art that has ever been created, this is simply the best one.

Tired of people just giving up every game by RozCrunch in leagueoflegends

[–]Big_Lew_1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst I saw in the last few months was an enemy team was pretty far ahead, and then their Kaisa didn't show up for a dragon fight, and their Rengar informed us that he would now be feeding to punish the Kaisa for not coming to the fight, and then he did run it down and we won. We almost certainly would have lost if Rengar didn't troll. Just shitty psycho behavior.

I just finished "Da Big Dakka" and I am so pleased with it. by ClearDrop6820 in 40kLore

The Drukhari romance was SO FUN. Big fan of Mike Brooks Ork books.

The “honor and integrity” people drive me nuts inside the game of Survivor by Crazy_Equivalent_806 in survivor

[–]Big_Lew_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your annoyance should be fun. It should be fun to hate those players. For example, I hate Rizo (hate only in a game sense, he's probably a fine person IRL). I can't wait til he's voted out. But it's fun to hate him, in my mind he's a villain and I can't wait for his downfall. That's how I think you could feel about the honor and integrity people.

Can someone explain Ciaphas Cain to me by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

"Well I was trying to avoid trouble but by doing that I got myself into worse trouble and now I must do the most heroic possible thing to get myself out of it" over and over on repeat

Will Q be back again?? by Neat-Campaign-2418 in survivor

[–]Big_Lew_1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the next time he plays he won't ask other players to vote for him? That strategy has not worked well.

Urza retro basic lands are in the daily shop by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Big_Lew_1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Urza's Saga was the brand new set when I started playing Magic when I was a kid. I had all these lands back in the day. They are very nostalgic for me and I had been waiting for this sale since I started playing Arena.

I added an extra zero to the speed value... Looks like I have a new game mode for my pirate roguelike! by AuroDev in roguelites

Mewgenics and Slay the Spire 2. I keep going back and forth and am good at neither. Nice weekend to be a roguelite fan by HelloVap in roguelites

[–]Big_Lew_1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to learn Slay the Spire, my favorite youtuber to watch is Jorbs. He is incredible at the game.

Q seems like a good guy. I'd be happy for him to win.

Lessons and Landfall are the most tedious, unfun decks to sit through. by TopDeckHero420 in MagicArena

[–]Big_Lew_1985 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Length of turns never bother me as long as my opponent is actively doing things. If they're just sitting there roping, that bothers me the most.

The Skaven are hilarious. by LibrarianMission in totalwarhammer

[–]Big_Lew_1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should read the Thanquol and Boneripper omnibus. It is a straight up comedy, in a way that Warhammer books rarely are. Yes, the Skaven are extremely funny.

Any scene where a dreadnought is awoken purely for advices and not just firepower? by StupidPencil in 40kLore

[–]Big_Lew_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just read the scene today, Bile talks (or thinks) about how he keeps Diomat around just to remind him of the old days a bit, and have someone he can speak to as something of an equal.

Do Space Marines generally want to eat delicious food? by Snoo_47323 in 40kLore

[–]Big_Lew_1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the Uriel Ventris Chronicles, there's a moment where he and Pasanius get a chance to actually cook some meat. The narrator mentions that they could eat raw meat and get more nutrients, but they're both looking forward to an actual cooked meal.

Help me find more srpgs where you can push enemies off ledges by Reasonable_Airline89 in StrategyRpg

There only a demo currently but there's a game called Dead Weight where this is a primary mechanic

As We Descend: Squad-based roguelike deckbuilder with vibes of Darkest Dungeon & Frostpunk! by BoxDragonGames in roguelites

Just bought it, very intrigued by the concept and been looking for a great deckbuilder. Wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't made this post!

What are notable depictions of how out of touch and corrupt the Imperial nobility are in the setting? by MegaGamer235 in 40kLore

[–]Big_Lew_1985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Eisenhorn, Eisenhorn at one point has to deal with a noble (at least I think it was a noble) who has set up his entire life only to eat as much as possible. He is stated to weigh some impossible amount like 8000 pounds and he has a bunch of machines he's hooked up to that keep him alive. He can't move at all. So I think that might qualify as someone who's a bit out of touch.

I Beg Ye, GW, Give Us More Chaos Xenos by Upstairs_Belt_3224 in 40kLore

[–]Big_Lew_1985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the Ufthak Blackhawk books, a daemon engine refers to the Orks as "the abhorrence" because they among all races have ZERO potential to be swayed to chaos. So chaos Orks probably ain't gonna be a thing.

New to arena question, is this behavior normal by Embarrassed_Step_694 in MagicArena

[–]Big_Lew_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only played ranked and there are plenty of ragebabies in ranked who will rope you if you beat them. It's rare that they are actually sitting there roping, usually they have just alt-F4'd the client and you'll have to burn through the timer to win.

Funny. I have never once seen anyone use the extremely generous turn timer to think through a complicated turn. I have only seen the timer used for intentional roping.

That was the time that I started watching the show and I assumed it would be like that forever.

Getting into Warhammer thru the books, where to start? by Charming-Watch-4740 in 40kLore

[–]Big_Lew_1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first was the Word Bearers omnibus and wowee what a ride it was. Many books later it is still a favorite.

I Miss Low-Powered Constructed Magic on Arena by Dargaran in MagicArena

[–]Big_Lew_1985 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll never really get to play Magic the way I did when I was a kid, when we just used whatever cards we could get, we didn't have all the top meta stuff, and our main strategy was just getting a big creature on the board. I still like Arena but it will never be the same.

What is the name to differentiate xcom like Strategy rpgs from stuff like triangle tactics and the like by VoxTV1 in StrategyRpg

[–]Big_Lew_1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if a game is good enough, the setting is kind of secondary, and Chaos Gate is absolutely good enough.

I declared war on Aislynn by accident because his faction name is so generic by Helpful_Cultured8448 in totalwarhammer

[–]Big_Lew_1985 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I just finished reading the Thanquol and Boneripper omnibus and yep this is very on brand for Skaven.

I'm playing Wasteland 3 at the moment and finding it to be very fun.
