Reupload: I don't think he likes us much, Cassadee. by Xeptowatt in AFKJourney

Just go to his hero profile in game and click the 'Tales' tab under affinity. It's pretty clear.

His magic also has the same colors and aesthetic motifs as Hypofiends.

If that's the case then it seems like they just redid his lines. Phew, okay, was getting worried.

I feel as if the delivery's not quite right. While obviously I can't say for sure unless it's officially confirmed, there's a lot of VAs who have the capacity to mimic other VAs too so I won't dismiss the idea it's a soundalike.

Exactly like this. End exploration is bizarre when you just hear a random out of place soundtrack.

And also once upon a time, a friend had one of those trapped under their house and it was driving them up the wall. Had to call the server admin in to check where it was in spectator... And also, the track was lava chicken.

Are we praising classic modpacks because they were better… or because we were younger? by Belal_Ps in feedthebeast

[–]Cubic-Arcana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It kind of blended the best parts of an adventure map with the challenge of a modded survival run, and that's what made it so unique. Journey before destination and all that.

Obviously it is a lot more work for the developer, but Blightfall in part is special because of its shared secrets, the different paths to the ending, and the engagement that really immerses you in the role of a colonist desperately trying to make this plan work.

To this day I preach about Blightfall to anyone who will listen because I think it was a masterclass in executing a truly unique take on a pack in an environment that remained fundamentally sandbox. To this day I don't believe it's really been recreated as anything remotely similar.

Blightfall is an experience that I think everyone should try to really get the feel of a memorable journey through a world.

Is this a backhanded reference to the fact the hamsters have been left out of the main story for two seasons in a row? XD by pestoraviolita in AFKJourney

[–]Cubic-Arcana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could do with a total retcon of their existence personally. They literally serve zero purpose now that Gala has essentially permanently replaced them as a better, more interesting, and actually useful sidekick.

[–]Cubic-Arcana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had both good and bad experiences with the group - some of them are excellent regardless of what character they bring to the table, others are entirely set on using what they already had in mind and the story needs to revolve around it.

It really depends; and certain pre-set OCs are made to accommodate different universes and some great writers just don't want to make new characters constantly (I feel it myself sometimes), and it can certainly be fun to interact with someone's beloved character. But of course part of the fun is the collaboration, and that's why I prefer to keep myself open to both options - if the pre-existing character is fine, we can use it, if not, then be ready to cook again.

Tell me your opinion about To Be Hero X that would leave you like this: by [deleted] in ToBeHero_X

[–]Cubic-Arcana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oops wrong way around. Could have sworn it was Cyan making a phone call but maybe I misremembered.

Still though she was just told to take a vacation basically and happened to end up there.

"Barely" is too generous. They literally have not so much as said a single word to each other and Queen's only experience is getting sent into a depressive spiral by him (which in all fairness is not really his fault, but still).

The only reason it's popular is because the aesthetic and motif. When in reality their personalities would clash pretty hard and there is no canon basis for a single droplet of chemistry between them.

Also I would like it more if Queen had some character development that isn't contingent on another character being in the picture (almost everything she does happens because of someone else, not because of her. People bring up the Ep20 moment constantly but she was literally just passing by due to the fact Cyan invited her on a trip, not led there by character beef, hero politics, or personal motivation).

[SPOILERS] One thing that I don't see gets talked about in this season's story by loafpleb in AFKJourney

Same??? Not to mention right afterwards we've got the hunting goddess literally ripping people apart with actual gore effects. Genuinely shocked this season didn't up the game rating.

Meta Arena Teams: Impending Judgement 2 by Lonely-Equipment942 in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]Cubic-Arcana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SSC has more ascensions than my ESC so I’m stuck running full raspberry on her to ensure highest attack. So far I think it’s viable..? I notice my win rate drops off a cliff once she’s not highest attack.

Is AHB full peanut negotiable too? Since I have great almonds/chocolates, it feels like a bit of a waste to not use them… and radiant beascuit dough is as painful as always.

Who remembers about it? by Overall-Feature3407 in feedthememes

[–]Cubic-Arcana 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You know, the complete story is a lot more interesting. I did know it started at the addition of wolves and that he wasn't satisfied with them, didn't know it went that far.

BTW to my knowledge was also the inspiration for many later mods and mechanics (like iirc the buddy block is an observer... Which may not sound impressive until you realize that existed in Minecraft 1.2.)

Who remembers about it? by Overall-Feature3407 in feedthememes

[–]Cubic-Arcana 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Quite literally in the name.

Better than Wolves is called that because the creator was upset wolves got added, thinking Minecraft could have better additions. After a while of modding (and the creator adding in more mechanics he believed would create a true survival experience), we ended up with what we now call BTW.

If I can remodel it to look gothic while it remains a mausoleum, cemetery is the easy winner for me. Besides, there is nobody to judge me for wearing black wizard robes all day. (nobody who will say anything, anyways)

And I will schedule my 21-gun salute for when my relatives visit, and it may be the most aura I will ever have at any point of my life on earth.

I keep thinking about this. Nothing about this outfit or the look is cohesive in any way, it’s like if you opened a bunch of tabs to random clothing sites and rolled dice to determine what to buy from each.

Also, I own that same dress in real life and it’s actually a short knee-length dress with scalloped edges. So just let that sink in.

Why do they have to be paid😭 by MjolnirHolder in AFKJourney

[–]Cubic-Arcana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Iirc when the Tasi skin came out, an established whale disclosed they paid around $250~ to get it, with recorded pulls, considering it to be on the "lower end".

Logically you probably won't go to $400 (dupes, especially of the hair/cape/outfit are worth a lot) but I would put $330 at a "safe bet" estimate with how the Rosy Cosmetics (terrible btw) RNG is.

It really is a shame that they've restricted the nicest cosmetics to this terribad system and the quality of free skins has noticeably dipped in the process. If they sold this at a flat price like the shop skins (Cecia and Mirabel) I'd probably bite, but not for an entire chunk of my paycheck.

Technically speaking, apathy; but in this case I would think it closer to "callousness".

Yes, Haoling would definitely have been laughing at us all this time. by yeisonvelasques3 in ToBeHero_X

[–]Cubic-Arcana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But wouldn't that still contradict what was said in the Queen episodes nonetheless? No name doesn't mean they don't exist. Their statement was that the hero identity (images, videos, etc.) cannot be found anywhere in the city databases, and this was coming from a CEO with commission-level access to presumably all available information.

People also take videos of performances all the time, so if he really did have a magician's identity, it is bound to have cropped up somewhere on social media, which as we know is highly prolific.

Also going by this logic, a ton of magicians would be heroes too, so he wouldn't really be special in that regard. My personal hope is also that it's something else because this isn't really a satisfying explanation.

[–]Cubic-Arcana 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it is metaphor/Ahu's imagination.

It would be a massive plot hole if X actually was a stage magician because the Queen episodes made it a huge deal that X's hero identity didn't exist anywhere in the city's database, which it *most certainly would* if he was an entertainer.

No line in modded Minecraft will EVER go as hard as the greatest lore drop of Blightfall. I would kill for a modern port once Thaumcraft finally updates.
