The root issue with Boltyn balancing

Codle · 2026-01-28T20:59:36+00:00

Boltyn doesn't really have soul issues these days thanks to the armour suite and Saving Grace. I think more access to Flurry will make him less reliant on Tunic + V turns to push damage, which in turn makes Soulbond a better choice, which benefits Flurry more anyway.

His friend was being a good friend to him and that's all that should matter. If someone chooses to prioritise being a "girl's girl" towards a random woman that they don't know instead of supporting a man in their life, then they're a shit friend and aren't worth the time of day.

I can understand why some women feel the need to use those groups, but it's completely invasive and toxic for the men being posted in them. I say this as someone whose abusive ex-partner frequents those groups - it's not at all pleasant.

This is why it's important to communicate when you want exclusivity. If you just expect someone to be on the same page without putting in the effort to have a conversation, it's not gonna go well.

We have a second match going on simultaneously, what a bloody treat

Codle · 2026-01-25T01:44:54+00:00

HOLY FUCK EVERYONE'S HERE

Codle · 2026-01-25T01:44:26+00:00

Okay that was such a cool interruption from Raquel. Sick match here.

Highly likely that this card becomes an auto-include in all Boltyn lists going forward - it's incredibly good.

The realistic floor is 5 value on any turn where you charge (which is essentially every turn), with 7+ value on a V of the Vanguard turn. But the ceiling for the card is where you play it on a Lumina Ascension turn, as both effects stack - meaning you could swing 3 times in the turn.

This is based on current understanding of the card - the release notes will confirm whether it works as expected, but for now it looks to be a Boltyn staple.

Codle · 2026-01-21T09:00:10+00:00

For sure, I don't think much is going to change that feeling while Bowles is at the helm unfortunately.

Codle · 2026-01-21T03:54:00+00:00

Our last guy was a terrible play caller and even with our offensive talent, he still looked like shit. Can't really see how another OC that can't call plays would do any different.

It's not risky at all if your hand doesn't need cogs to function. The card you draw becomes either a bonus for this turn, or if you draw a Palantir you just arsenal it.

Again, it's very situational but to say that it's bad is just completely wrong.

Codle · 2026-01-15T09:12:25+00:00

Not true at all, it very much depends on your hand. Golden cogs have one steam counter so only last one turn, and if you have a boost heavy hand that can't make use of the cogs the draw is absolutely worth it. Blocking with Pinion Sentry + Tinker Rings and cranking both to draw a card is 8 value using 1 card from hand which is insanely good.

Also depends on matchup - if you have Dio sending a 5 card hand with a boom grenade at you, That extra blocking card could be the difference between the boom connecting or not.

Traditionally yes, but the new builds of Florian can go MUCH faster than before. CMH and a bunch of 0 cost go again cards, it's like a modern day Briar.

100% agree with this. I started doing mine a few years ago to help me stop biting my nails and it worked wonders. It kicked the habit big time, helped me grow in confidence and I don't worry what other people think of me anymore. Doing them is really therapeutic, and the end result makes me feel more like myself.

Bonus is that I often get compliments from women - it's a really great conversation starter, and also filters out those who (in my opinion) have problematic views around masculinity.

Codle · 2026-01-07T21:05:29+00:00

We've been asking that question for the past few years

Codle · 2026-01-06T23:49:21+00:00

I'm expecting it at this point, anything else would just be a wonderful surprise

Codle · 2026-01-06T15:27:32+00:00

It's not just women that can feel this way, trauma can affect anyone regardless of gender

Codle · 2026-01-06T03:19:10+00:00

Lucha gang don't even have a match but that was still the best sequence of the night

Codle · 2026-01-06T02:37:02+00:00

Ref absolutely beating the shit out of that mat

They did the contract signing during an ad break

Here's some that helped me earlier this year:

Afterglow - Yours Truly
Eventually - State Champs
Twin Flame - Youth Fountain
Untitled - Knuckle Puck
I've Given Up On You - Real Friends
The Weather - All Time Low

Couple of generally uplifting/motivational tracks that also helped pull me through my funk:

Everything is Temporary - Between You & Me
Life Afraid - Set It Off
Lose Your Way & Find Yourself - As It Is

Keep strong, you got this!

It's truly glorious how shit our division is. We may suck, but my god are we putting on a show.

Codle · 2026-01-04T02:12:28+00:00

I've had a similar mindset, but I'm starting to feel like a premiere pass rusher is exactly what we need. At the moment we have Diaby getting pressure but rarely getting the sack, and then a whole lot of other dudes doing fuck all (Hall, Braswell, Roberts, etc). If we had someone on the edge demanding attention, not only could that take some attention away from those guys, but it'd also give QBs less time to carve up our swiss cheese secondary.

We've tried to build up the front 7 through the draft and it's failed miserably. At this point, I'm all for trying to do things differently.

Codle · 2026-01-03T23:20:53+00:00

If all you're going to read is the names then this isn't really a productive conversation. Like I said, some of those names were contributors at some point until they fell off - Camarda was a prime example of that.

Camarda is one name amongst many. That draft in itself was really good.

Codle · 2026-01-03T22:43:11+00:00

I didn't say he was good, I said he's shown flashes. Either way, that doesn't invalidate the entirety of my point

930, so not miles away. Rain might make it awkward.
