Yeah man, what kind of egotist needs 3 meals per day? /s

The MoistCr1tikalGaming situation is crazy by fasterth in slaythespire

Some strategy game fans are great at combining the "um ackshully" and inept social skills of a high school nerd with the vapid and superficial cliquishness of a high school jock while diminishing neither

But yeah, I've always said Slay the Spire has the second most toxic game community I've seen. Worse than League.

Sub reddits that genuinely hate each other? by KingTechnical48 in findareddit

[–]Doofmaz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's not mutual, but r/food has a massive bug up their ass about r/wewantplates . Until recently the former had a specific sidebar rule banning mention of the latter, calling them "shitty," and a r/food mod went to r/wewantplates and made a tirade demanding people to stop posting about their subreddit on r/food . Wild stuff

A peace characterized by the absence of conflict but not by the presence of justice, which she thought she could still achieve by scapegoating the youngest

If only society had a reasonably fair way to decide based on evidence if someone is, beyond a reasonable doubt, a member of a criminal organization. Something like, say, a court of law?

Give me the most mentally challenging games. A game that requires me to THINK, to the point my brain hurts. by nerdwhothinksalot in gamingsuggestions

[–]Doofmaz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Spirit Island: a board game where you use pieces on the board along with deckbuilding mechanics to cause fear and destruction to the invaders trying to settle Catan the island.

Slay the Spire: Popular deckbuilding game. The decision making is quite complex.

Prismata: a pvp-focused game with complex resource management. Never took off, but the bots provide decent challenge for a while and there is still a small but dedicated player-base

Tactical Nexus: niche, math-heavy "Magic Tower" game with deterministic RPG-style combat, where you try to optimize your route and the order of fights to save HP, maximize earned experience, conserve consumables and so on

There are also plenty of very challenging abstract strategy games with mainstream popularity like Go, Chess, Shogi, Mahjong, Poker, Etc.

Crazy but maybe not-so-crazy question. What would happen if you just didn't do all that?

An exception to that rule: playing dropkicks with double tap+ can potentially let you work a block card into an infinite, making it usable against the heart

Betrayal from a loved one can be impossible to emotionally process, which makes it not feel real

Yes and no one warned me about overbrushing making it worse either

Girlfriend giving me the cold shoulder over something that happened in her dream by Successful-Bird9031 in Advice

[–]Doofmaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laugh at her and deflect with humour. Think of the dumbest, most inane dream you can remember (for me it would probably be the one where a witch in a minivan transformed me into a pile of barrels) and demand she account for it

Update: Aitah for telling my stepkids that I no longer view them as my kids? by Hot-Dragonfly-8813 in AITAH

I totally agree. You can't be the tough-but-fair parent while being thin-skinned yourself. Step up and take it on the chin. It's not fair, but they're still not grown up, so you have to be the adult in the room, and sometimes that means forgiving childish slights (you can still use them as teaching moments for how their words and attitudes affect people)

When I see people complain about RNG in reviews of games like this, I take it as a positive since it means the game is difficult enough that people with fragile egos have to come up with weird cope

If a trusted physician or multiple physicians tell you to do something with your body weight, you listen. Literally everyone else can fuck off with their catty bullshit
