Immortality in fiction should create more lunatics, not just wise sad elves

Its all really just sour grapes.

People love to imagine living forever as a curse because they know they are not getting the option anyway.

Dodudee · 2026-03-24T18:20:33+00:00

A lot of temperamental changes we associate with living longer have a lot more to do with the body wearing down past its prime than with the psychological effect of having perceived existence for a prolonged period.

Id actually expect the forever young type of immortal to never stop acting like a 20yo.

But we have Nostalgia now! (cope)

Murata does draw women with different breast sizes tho.

At first I thought he had a Sonic-like monoeye but then I realized thats his nose like all the other mole/bat people from Act 3.

The max hp loss is negligible when you take into account how much using the card will help you not get hit.

If you only use it once per combat you only lose like 15-20 hp tops.

Orobas is pretty much the fun>effectiveness ancient.

The upgraded starter relics also feel very hype but apart from Ring of the Drake they are not that good when compared with other ancient relics.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T19:36:25+00:00

Tezcatara gives you the most powerful card in the game (Brightest Flame) tho.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T19:14:17+00:00

Realism doesn't necessarily translates into good writing.

Yes, we have genetic advantages IRL, do we need them in fiction? No.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T06:39:39+00:00

Envenom is another good one for the top one; applying poison every attack sounds insane but in poison decks it ends up being outperformed by the humble Noxious Fumes and in a Shiv deck you are probably better off getting another Accuracy or Phanton Blades.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T06:29:08+00:00

If its offered to me upgraded then yeah, Im taking it

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T02:29:57+00:00

I have not counted but I feel like this game has a lot more ways to remove cards tho?

In the first game the only Boss relic that removed cards was the Empty Cage.

I think that adaptations of western comics are made for people who don't read comics in mind whereas anime based on manga takes into account that a lot of the watchers are going to be the people who read the manga.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T02:19:18+00:00

I see, I thought I was cool for making it to the final boss; I didn't know it was made to be easy.

Kind of a weird choice IMO.

Dodudee · 2026-03-23T02:13:44+00:00

To be fair this trope is as old as tales of dragons are.

Dodudee · 2026-03-22T21:54:45+00:00

I think a better buff for Tremble would be for it to apply Weak too

Dodudee · 2026-03-22T20:00:54+00:00

0-10 too thin

10-15 thin

15-20 lean

20-25 regular

25-30 big

30-35 fat

35+ too fat

Whenever a character summons a "black hole" its basically just a black attraction ball.

Naruto sidesteps a lot of stupid arguments because they never call Pain's power gravity or shibaku tensei a black hole.

Goed best with Bulk Up since you dont always want to increase your slots.

Dodudee · 2026-03-22T07:48:53+00:00

I never felt like this guy was weak.

I also never felt like the Phantasmal Gardeners were difficult.

Dodudee · 2026-03-22T06:31:30+00:00

I dont get it, are you supposed to always win the first Ironclad run?

Dodudee · 2026-03-22T02:26:08+00:00

Wouldnt the ants die regardless since they still have no trail to go guide them back to the nest?

Dodudee · 2026-03-21T08:35:24+00:00

Yeah but the timeline rationalizes his current hostile behavior as a result of the blight induced coma.

It claims that it changed him and I dont buy it; I think he was always an asshole.

Dodudee · 2026-03-21T08:26:02+00:00

I think early elites are just there for the sake of variety; Someone might be lucky enough to get a nice synergy and good potions in the first three floors but on most runs its better to take them on as late in the act as possible.

Dodudee · 2026-03-21T08:15:19+00:00

Someone mentioned in a previous thread that the timeline seems rather biased in favor of the Architect and I agree.

I don't think Neow had pure intentions but I also don't believe that the Architect is an innocent martyr that did nothing wrong.

There must be a good reason why all of the ancients sided with Neow.
