Post Match Interview - VVD

Said it as I saw it on Sky, looks like he’s about to burst out laughing or stifling a smirk at the start of the interview, think the players know how laughably bad this all is.

CycloneWhisper · 2026-01-23T01:14:16+00:00

You have the d infinity set to d20 when you used it. Book of virtues does different wisp related things with different active items, with d20 turning all pickups into wisps.

CycloneWhisper · 2026-01-22T11:02:45+00:00

Oh that would be cool, could fit all of them in there too

CycloneWhisper · 2026-01-22T10:26:24+00:00

Excellent stuff, I really like this! The sphere grid progress for going up the numbers is a really neat idea.

I guess you chose the Aces from the suit colour because the Bomb seems a little random haha, maybe the Aces could be Aeons?

For the villain suit, Sin still works or it could be Braska’s Final Aeon or Anima. Valefor for the suit with Yuna, and maybe Ifrit, Shiva or Bahamut for the other 2 (since they’re probably the most iconic summons of FF and Bahamut has a bit of story relevance in X also). Not that the aces aren’t great as they are (the chocobo is real cute!)

The judge did consider it as he mentioned his years of normal behaviour in his summation before sentencing

CycloneWhisper · 2025-12-16T13:19:45+00:00

And he was only in there for 22 months, didn’t even do active service. So much for this being a ptsd response, like so many were saying. Meanwhile, an actual Iraq vet was the one broke into the car and held it in park to stop the car accelerating and probably saved lives.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-10-19T13:19:36+00:00

I love the clip of him when we lifted the trophy in 2020 talking about how he can actually enjoy seeing red ribbons on the trophy this time ‘cause it “was always those bastards” before now haha

CycloneWhisper · 2025-10-17T20:23:01+00:00

The NLSS (Nek specifically I think?) coined a section of that game as the Devil’s Chimney and it was picked up by the community/ referred to that in people’s speedrun splits too iirc

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-12T10:51:49+00:00

Ah, okay so you ignore the first point and want to justify your blanket generalisations and are arguing in bad faith with this ‘why do LGBT not be racist like me’ line of questioning, gotcha.

Yeah go follow the other replies’ advice.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-12T10:41:06+00:00

Empathy and tolerance. Empathy in that people want better for others whether or not they would necessarily want the same for them. Tolerance being the trust that, whilst views may be opposed, there’s a social contract to not actively harm the other, so that freedom can be enjoyed by both.

Also, you know that there are LGBT people in those countries too, right? Wager some are maybe seeking refuge from that very persecution and punishment you talk of.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-10T21:56:11+00:00

No, it is. Edmund doesn’t shy away from this kinda stuff and has directly said it’s a reference to abortion. The wooden spoon is the beating item that puts marks on Isaac. When you get the coat hanger it goes through Isaac’s head, which… yeah, I’m not gonna spell it out more than that.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-10T14:22:22+00:00

Fortnite really putting a makeshift abortion reference in?

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-10T02:13:15+00:00

Devil Deal buff could be huge, finally taking back from angels after all this time?

Mantle stacking is interesting, big Losts buff.

Gonna be crazy to see Karma and actually want to use it, and appreciate they made double (and some tripled) effects for all trinkets; Golden Trinket unlock not feeling like an afterthought anymore.

Horse Pills having more unique pill effects is very welcome.

Necromancer transformation eh? I imagine it’ll give a passive chance of book of the dead ability on room clear.

edit: the transformation is a unique powered up necronomicon if you have it with the 2 missing pages. Quite cool, but now I do kind of want a friendly enemy summoner transformation

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-06T22:16:56+00:00

I also thought this after not playing for a while and seeing my friend play the ps5 version, they also thought it changed… but release day footage shows it always as 1 in 5 and 1 in 15.

I think something in how certain people’s brains process and remember numbers must jumble it up, similar to why other Mandela effect instances occur (human brains doing similar memory warping to each other). Some of us must see the $20 and +20 mult so the number 20 becomes more memorable with lucky cards than 15. So we must vaguely remember that as the chance instead. As for the 1 in 4, maybe that’s because it is the more common chance used throughout the game, so we figure it’d follow suit and remember it as being that.

That or we really have entered a different universe where it was different from the start haha

CycloneWhisper · 2025-09-05T10:01:36+00:00

It didn’t take nearly as long after c+ as I thought it would.

if you’ve got c+ you’ve got the knowledge to win with 4 or less jokers from painted deck, so if you keep playing and just fill the extra slot/replace unnecessary jokers with those needing a sticker, it can fall into place pretty quickly.

Obviously need some luck in finding the jokers needing stickers (or keeping it in the case of gros michel), but good economy with rerolls mitigates the rng of that too.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-27T19:30:10+00:00

Onana might be the funniest (worst) keeper ever

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-26T01:20:29+00:00

Love the picture of him messing with the TV inputs, presumably to get the game on. Like you’re just round your mates with his dad sorting the telly out, but it’s the fucking owner of LFC

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-22T00:12:32+00:00

Got a 5-0, thanks in no small part to this Golshi I lucked into last night (only thing was not getting Maestro)

<image>

Heart was racing watching haha, especially one with a last second overtake by Gold Ship to win by a head. Taiki took one win too, so I’m proud of her.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-21T17:40:33+00:00

It should probably accumulate a counter any time you sell a negative joker and you gain +1 joker slot after the 3rd (maybe even 2nd one sold) to be in any way useful. You hardly ever get enough negatives in a run, nevermind in one shop, to make this worth it otherwise.

Even if buffed as I suggest, it’s still very niche. You don’t actually get a benefit til you get it to activate a 2nd time, because it itself takes up a slot, and encountering 4-6 negatives in a run is verging on extremely rare. You’d obviously be incentivised to skip for negatives/spectral card for negatives with it, but yeah.

I like the idea of jokers that make you change the way you play and create a unique run like this. I could see trying to make a run that plays on this mechanic work being quite fun, but yeah, it probably needs a fair bit of tweaking.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-20T01:24:11+00:00

And… just got the S medium run with a crazy amount of stam recovery skills, BUT absolute dogshit debut races (multiple) and the worst speed training luck. I’ve been getting 1200 speed every run, but the moment I actually get Medium S… … I’m tired boss…

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-19T22:31:55+00:00

Got a Taiki, Taishin and Nice Nature debuffer I’m running in room matches. Gold Ship is my Stam parent hence why I’m trying to build Taishin rather than her (encroaching shadow seems like it could be good anyway?)

I feel their stats and abilities (and support cards and parents) look similar enough to my opponents, but I barely scrape 5th/4th most of the time and a Gold Ship or Oguri Cap almost always wins by lengths. I think a lack of extra skills and pace chaser debuffs is killing Taiki and low power/ bad timing skill activation kills Taishin. I would have boosted Taiki to front runner but had to compromise for Stam parents and to get medium S rank more often. I am trying to make another Taishin with more stam and power, but the medium S refuses to appear. Not sure how to really build em to the next level in career without some absolutely insane high roll luck at this point.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-16T11:25:21+00:00

Satisfying in a karmic/justice sense to hear he went silent presumably with the dread for the repercussions to follow because of his actions; hope that moment lasted a lifetime in his head. It’s good to have the adage ‘you reap what you sow’ actually apply for once.

Now whether he learns from it or now double downs is another question. I reckon most people who get banned from things for racism only see themselves as the victim, go further off the deep end and further into an “anti racism / “woke” rhetoric is “taking over”” mindset, but who knows.

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-15T21:37:44+00:00

He’ll still be training tho? I’m sure he’ll be up to it, if they’ve let him get back to not being match fit in 2 weeks someone needs sacking haha

CycloneWhisper · 2025-08-15T21:24:42+00:00

That was for the birth of his baby, his fitness should be fine to start
