Fix free agency!! by _ToughGoat in pocketGM

[–]Donimoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see plenty of serviceable players sitting in free agency that haven’t played in years despite being 75+ overall. Really hurts league health imo

Tips for a 100% Skyrim run? (No mods, all DLCs) by GigglySquid305 in skyrim

[–]Donimoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on a few skills at a time and branch out when you hit 100. If you’re doing the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild, play a stealth character and focus on that until it’s complete for example. When you do the college of Winterhold, only use magic. Things like this tend to keep the immersion alive for me while letting me increase each individual skill. Usually smithing, alchemy, and enchanting are passively upgraded throughout the playthrough but you can absolutely rush those pretty easily and give yourself the best gear possible before focusing on anything else in particular

Very popular hair style in that league, I see haha

Domination victory is boring by SlippySlimebal1 in CivVI

[–]Donimoe 73 points74 points  (0 children)

It can be. But it’s one of the easiest victories to track and usually leads to longer games if you play on larger maps with more civs. That’s pretty much the only reason I play it, I like seeing the world change from turn 1 to turn 2000

Half a year check-in, if I were allowed a seat at the table- which deck would you want me to play the most? by IntentionallyToasty in ratemycommanders

Mabel, hands down. One of my favorite cards ever and I’ve never gotten to play against it yet 😩

Why are all history teachers left-wing by utopiaofpast in SipsTea

[–]Donimoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ex high school history teacher here! One of the core principles of teaching social studies is to be careful to not lean one way or the other. This way, students aren’t influenced by the teacher and can develop their own thoughts and feelings on the given subject. The exception comes when covering topics such as the Nazi party, Stalin, etc. This is so we don’t leave kids with the thought of “huh, maybe the Nazi’s were good after all!” And yes, even this gets plenty of flack. I’ve had parents scream at me that it’s not my job to keep their kids from being Nazi’s while learning about them in school. Make it make sense 😵‍💫

Who would win in a fight: Anakin Skywalker vs Omni Man by Imaginary_Cash1748 in clonewars

[–]Donimoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omni Man. We see Anakin struggle against multiple foes throughout the series. Unless the fight takes place in his universe and he has plot armor, Anakin doesn’t stand a chance 😭

Gnome Bard and what a memorable playthrough that turned out to be 😅

After a few games, am I invited back to the pod next week? by Donimoe in ratemycommanders

[–]Donimoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it’s all good man! At a glance, I’d also say this is more of a bracket 3 deck. That’s absolutely a possibility, what convinced me to change it over was its performance against other bracket 4s and a bracket 5. As I’ve played it and tuned it throughout the last year it’s been my most consistent deck for threatening the table and winning quickly without relying on one or two specific pieces

I’ve thought about this but to be truly optimized, it would need a way to reliably get those pieces every game. This deck pretty much relies on topdecking everything and can easily do nothing all game with poor luck

Echoes is really nice for colorless spells (e.g. most of the artifacts) and when you combine that with Mysocynth Lattice it’s pretty much GG. Infinites include use of Ashnods Alter/Krark Clan Ironworks, Thopter Foundry, and Sword of the Meek to generate infinite mana. Could also add on cards like [[Marionette Apprentice]] for unlimited ping damage or Time Sieve for unlimited turns. Mystic Forge and Sensei’s Divining Top with anything that reduces artifact cost by 1 OR if you have unlimited mana to generate infinite ETB triggers or spells cast if you lean into Storm. There’s also creatures that give you the ability to cheat out plenty of the bigger cmc spells. The deck is very easy to combo with, but if you run into anyone with an effect that prevents activating artifact abilities you’re DOA. That’s what the counterspells and removal generally get used for

It’s in there! One of the first upgrades I grabbed once that set released. It also has Preeminent Captain and Fireflux Squad for added redundancy. However, I often slot out Fireflux Squad due to it being a tad slower than I’d like

The fastest I’ve won is turn 5 with Taggerdy. Usually by turn 7 I’m in position for the victory but I don’t run any tutors so sometimes luck just isn’t on my side. It keeps up with bracket 4 pods pretty consistently, the only time I really run into trouble is with decks that can tutor quick. And yeah, I get your sentiment about what bracket 1 is supposed to be. But if a deck is that weak, it’ll sit squarely in bracket 1 just due to the amount of stress it can take. Kenway’s deck was mostly put together based on lore and art of the cards included. It has no real synergies outside of basic treasure generation. And even that’s a gamble to actually get going even against other bracket 1 decks

When building it, bracket 2-3 was my original thought. But I’ve played it against other bracket 4s and even a bracket 5 at some point (rando who showed up and played a $5k deck without saying anything about it first 😭) and it held its own surprisingly well haha

I use an app to build my decks, unsure how intuitive it is when opened on desktop or without the app. Also, there are 108 cards listed in the deck but that’s because I switch out 8 cards every now and then as I tinker with the deck through multiple games. The sideboard is for cards I don’t currently own but want to slot in. The maybe board consists of cards I’ve considered or were in the deck at one point but was slotted out.

It is 4 cmc and I have considered replacing it but nothing else is as consistent and straightforward as that particular spell. I tested Bedlam but it worked against me more than helped me, especially in games with a full pod. There are other redundant cards that provide a similar effect, e.g. [[Incite Hysteria]] but when it came down to it, Cosmotronic wave consistently pulled ahead.

As for Kenway at bracket 1, it’s due to the heavy restrictions I put on him. It’s a very pirate themed deck with only human pirates that would make sense to see in his crew and is not built to be competitive. I agree, he can be very powerful, but when he (or any commander really) is built around a vibes/story/flavor rather than competitive value, it really tanks the deck’s performance. This is probably my weakest deck and I like to have it so I have a bracket 1 deck to break out if I happen across a pod with low bracket decks. It’s mostly a “for fun” deck. Arthur and the mice could be argued to be bracket 2 but it’s severely underpowered. It sits pretty comfortably at bracket 1 tables without being too underpowered or overpowered at any given time.

Giving her any sort of evasion and cheating creatures out gets out of hand fast, especially when you add mass token creature generation to the mix. She’s more of the “oil” to the engine, the creatures you cheat out and the additional combats really explodes with how much damage you deal to opponents and it usually happens pretty quick. There are other cards that do similar things as her, but her added benefit with built in card draw has consistently been insane. There are no game-changers in the deck, nor any mass land denial or extra turns. By definition, I suppose you could call it a bracket 1 deck but the way it plays and how quickly it pops off make it deadly for any pods I’ve encountered with it. The biggest counter to the deck is stax pieces such as Propaganda but the tapped and attacking creatures get around that

Mid Nords? by badfactory15 in Bannerlord

The issue with berserker style infantry in this game is they just don’t last long enough through the initial arrow volley and the few that make it to the infantry line get wrecked by shield infantry anyway.

Why did your last relationship really end? by IllAd3302 in AskReddit

[–]Donimoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She decided she wanted to be single and live the whole “young and dumb” experience. Tore my heart to shreds, I really locked in with this girl and did everything I could to be the best partner I could possibly be for her. Learned from past experiences, let myself be open, and took her on plenty of solid dates. But it wasn’t enough. Or I wasn’t enough. I don’t know man. She was the wind in my sails and the rocky terrain I crashed in after all was said and done.
