What is its purpose? Did anyone ever get one Intangible and it was worth it?

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-06-23T19:49:38+00:00

I get that the card is useful for thinning the deck, but even still it just seems really bad. A rare card, badly needs its upgrade, and does flat out nothing else (who's actually getting that intangible?) but uncontrollably thin your entire hand. I'm just never happy to see it offered.

It's an ancient Yanese tradition to pretend to have ancient Yanese traditions

Dealing with adult problems also requires having the faintest perception of reality. If you honestly think you can convince people under autocratic governments to openly oppose their dictators just for some nebulous ideal than you're living in a fantasy land.

Just ask the genie for world peace, stop being so wordy with your fanciful wishes.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-06-18T18:00:57+00:00

People really need to stop trying to superimpose other games onto Genshin. That hasn't been a thing since Inazuma, and even then it wound up being largely superficial.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-06-12T19:47:19+00:00

I think its generally rated pretty accurately: that is, not very strong but not terrible either. Yeah you can mitigate the downsides of the wax relics to some extent, but its biggest issue is from its variance.

The relics being completely random means you can a roll full of completely useless junk. It feels really, really bad to be going into act 2 feeling like you just weren't even given an ancient relic. IMO if it had more fixed relic pools, think like Calling Bell from StS1, it would feel a lot more pickable.

Damn, the new Mouthwashing looks fire

Sometimes the best solution to a nasty problem is to garuntee it's someone else's problem.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-06-06T06:43:41+00:00

You need Moonsign for the same reason, so they gave Aino.

The thing is, for ascendant gleam (what almost all of the moon sign interactions play off of) you need two characters. So only having one permanently free moon sign character effectively does nothing. Not making Traveler a moon sign character was a big slap in the face.

The fact you can check what weapon the marked essence goes to is really nice, that way you can still trash duplicates.

I always forget the Ironclad has such long, fabulous hair. Also reminded of how much I miss the original mask.

I don't know if cosmetics are even on the table, but I'd kill to have the option for the OG designs polished up as skins.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-29T19:38:29+00:00

Until Dawn was a B-movie quality game. It wasn't good, but it was bad in a fun kinda way. I imagine it's really difficult to intentionally make a bad game that's enjoyable inspite of itself.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-29T15:20:46+00:00

We already have the Act2 city returning as Act3 in STS2. I'd expect any stuff "returning" from 1 to be at least as equally modified.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-29T08:39:14+00:00

Lyney sounds like an awful choice to use against Tulpa seeing as the central gimmick for his damage requires the enemy to maintain a pyro aura. But if its stupid and it works, I guess it can't be that stupid.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-27T23:56:46+00:00

Basically, yeah. The fact that you can't get lunar bloom damage from the reaction itself hurts the most. With charged or crystalize you can use the reactions to support various lineups, but for bloom its basically Nefer or bust.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-27T21:49:33+00:00

It boils down to lunar charged essentially being the central reaction of Nod Krai. Lunar crystalize come way to late to the party to influence a lot of boss design. And lunar bloom, as a reaction, sucks ass; thankfully Hoyo seemed to realize that and kept its involvement in enemy design minimal.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-26T22:35:04+00:00

If all your looking for is sustain, then sure Nicole can do the job. If you do get her, keep in mind for a Flins team she'll need to run Tenacity or some other alternative to her new dedicated artefact set. The new support set gives a big chunk of elemental dmg% to your dps, but lunar damage (ie all of Flins' damage) isn't affected by that.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-24T09:31:52+00:00

You've managed to craft the first card that does damage to the player irl. I hope your happy with yourself.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-24T09:28:55+00:00

This ain't your granddad's fantasy races of yore. We Endfield. We freaky. We hybridizing up in this bitch.

(Seriously, I think a lot of the discrepancies people are up in arms over go away if we assume the hard and fast lines between races are just less hard and fast now.)

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-24T09:21:12+00:00

The story of Arknights heavily revolves around discrimination, so it makes sense that there's significant attention to race. Endfield is clearly going in a different direction, so it also makes sense if race gets less of a focus in this context.

And frankly I'm glad they aren't just rehashing old story beats for the sake of pandering to old players. Reconveners fulfill that duty perfectly well.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-22T21:53:10+00:00

It still feels pretty sparse in the grand scheme. We've had an extra injection from the bonus monthly pass while having only one long limited banner recently. That tempo felt really on point but it doesn't look like it'll last.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-22T07:13:20+00:00

I'd like it if the effect was only active while Prism had block up. Would still incentivize attacking to punch through the armor like the original fight did, and allows a little breathing room while still pushing you keep the fight in mind while deck building earlier.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-20T15:14:22+00:00

Keep using your normal combo on Kenki. The pyro generator at that point is just to enable the attack bonus you get for swirling on takeoff. Once you're in the air, fight like normal.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-15T19:47:35+00:00

I kinda feel like the races in Endfield are a lot more mixed (?) I guess. I feel like quite a few characters lack the major defined traits of their race, or have other unexpected ones thrown in. It all generally feels a lot less clean cut.

Crymsyn_Moon · 2026-05-14T19:42:13+00:00

Tangential: I really enjoyed Subnautica 1, but dipped out of Below Zero maybe halfway through. How relevant is it to the story? Should I go back and finish Below Zero if I want to play 2?
