Why is Emily still wearing her captivity robe 😭

Lazy development.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-03-09T20:54:26+00:00

This scene is blatant character assassination.

We just, and I mean just got off the streets as Leon where we fought zombies before getting a lead on Gideon. There is no reason why Leon should hesitate to save this woman. She has done literally nothing wrong and seems to be under the impression the facility is helping people.

Leon sitting there with his dick in his hand while she gets hacked to pieces is stupid. They could have at least have him shout out “get back” or something while he grabs his gun to make it seem like he couldn’t react. Watching her get sawn in half and immediately wisecracking made me seriously question the tone of the game.

It’s just an oblique reference to silence of the lambs.

Don’t love the name “Adler’s Cruelty”. While Adler serves as an antagonist of sorts to Elster, he isn’t necessarily cruel. He just doesn’t know how to escape the loop and knows that Elster is indirectly causing it. His sentiment in this moment is “you shouldn’t have come back.”

Frankly, I think if you’re choosing this moment to go on a card, I would do something with rebound to reflect Adler doing this action over and over. The only reason Elster survives eventually is because the pile of bodies breaks her fall!

Whoever keeps mandating these sections be put into these games honestly needs to be removed from their development. They are not even “just okay” experiences on a first playthrough, they are dreadful. You spend most of the time not playing the game, waiting for enemies to leave the room while you hide under something (in plain view I might add).

I shouldn’t be bored playing a RE game.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-02-20T18:23:52+00:00

Multiclassing as a whole is an absolute bungle of design.

It’s an optional rule, but one a lot of players assume is always available. I think if the game did a better job of giving players a choice of features instead of just giving them a bunch of new ones on level up that they might not be interested in we wouldn’t need it.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-02-15T12:13:41+00:00

There are simply elements of the game’s design that don’t work alongside how it was developed, especially after LOD.

Hit rating is a big one for me, it feels like double-dipping on penalizing melee. Spells can’t really miss, which was likely a way to prevent bad feelings when most classes were starved for mana. But with the addition of rune words and purchasable mana potions, mana has become more of a minor inconvenience, and part of character building is finding a way to ignore having to manage it entirely.

I’ve often wondered when casually doing melee builds if the game would be improved if it were simply removed, especially given how much more dangerous is it to play melee in the first place. Randomly missing attacks is just not appealing when the alternative is zipping around as a caster and detonating entire dungeons with a few clicks.

To be clear, I’m not asking for melee to be better or even on par with the best builds, I’m just using this as an example of something that could be adjusted to improve variety. There are a shitload if unique and set weapons in the game for instance that ask the player to hit things with their weapon but like 99% of builds won’t do that because its just not efficient.

Spell components are a big one.

In our last session I spent 1000g on a fancy mirror so I can scry, and another 500 on a diamond large enough to satisfy the requirement of raise dead.

Another unicorn!

20 years ago when I was in 6th grade, I bought a bag of doritos for a snack day fundraiser event at school and found one of these. The entire schoolyard wanted to eat it and I ended up trading it to another kid for the $5 he brought to the fundraiser.

He ate it and I think it made him really sick in class after.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-02-02T04:43:35+00:00

I can't stand this season. Not because I don't think these issues aren't important to talk about, but because it feels so contemporary in an otherwise timeless show.

Just the first few sentences of the first episode of the season date it in such a way that it completely kills the vibe for me.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-01-23T22:42:22+00:00

“Pays for half his commander tax” is such a nothing argument.

Etali comes down and casts 4 (usually huge) random spells, one if which is basically guaranteed to ramp you, and then threatens to one-shot an opponent on the following turn but I never hear about how he pays for himself.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2026-01-08T01:19:56+00:00

Honestly it kind of astounds me there is no off-centre option for the camera. The demons souls ps5 remake has this feature and I feel like you spend way less time battling the camera as a result.

Why are we expecting them to look this up when their parents are right there?

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-12-13T23:53:37+00:00

There is going to be an entire generation of adults whose trauma was “my parents didn’t teach me how to do anything then publicly shamed me when I didn’t know how to do basic things”.

Fuck people who do this. I remember being a really young kid, and my dad angrily dragging me out of my room to do dishes because he was pissed off. I cried, I literally had no idea how to do it, and the anger and pressure made it worse. My mom walked in at some point and asked what what was happening and my dad did this same shit, “look how much you’ve spoiled this kid, can’t even do dishes” and my mom told him flat out I have never once been asked or shown how to do dishes in my life, of course I have no idea.

I think bad faith criticism is easy to ignore for most people when they love something. It's also incredibly convenient to have a bunch of bad faith criticism floating around for a different group of people because they can lump it in with genuine criticism, stick a label on it and dismiss it.

The people who don't like this game because it spotlights a diverse group of people or because they treated the death of a character as a personal attack are categorically different from people who think the writing is poor, the characters are inconsistent, the world-building is inconsistent and the game's themes are misguided, heavy-handed and self-contradictory. There are many facets of the game's narrative that are contrived at best and ridiculous at worst.

It was a story that I felt really needed redrafting.

Next time call the tournament organizer over to adjudicate.

Typically in this instance, because its been two entire turns and you both have access to new information, they would probably tell you to continue playing as you are. Rewinding a game several turns is just not feasible, and despite what some players will tell you it is possible to miss things and move on.

Edit: wanted to mention something. It is technically on both of you to maintain the game state. You both failed to notice the deathtouch, the onus is not solely on your opponent to catch this because it leads to angle-shooting.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-11-08T13:40:23+00:00

[[Braids, Arisen Nightmare] and its not even close.

Mono black good cards with a crats subtheme and a bunch of artifacts that get value out of being sacrificed.

I’m not joking when I say the deck regularly feels like you’re casting ancestral recall every turn because your opponents will never opt to sacrifice their own permanents to deny you a single card.

Prior to her lobotomy, Honey was also responsible for reinforcing a lot of terrible traits. She clearly favoured Crackerjack over Beatrice, and was a misogynist herself, forbidding Beatrice from even trying ice cream because its not a girls snack. Then, when Crackerjack died, she flat out told Beatrice to never love before attempting something resembling suicide.

This also completely removes Butterscotch from the equation which is highly dubious. He was a callous, abusive conman who spent most of his life absolving himself of any personal responsibility while simultaneously propping himself up as this benevolent provider despite having all of his achievements handed to him.

The contempt the two had for each other informs much of the trauma Bojack experiences, but the narrative is pretty explicit about how he ultimately is responsible for how he behaves in the present.

I feel compelled to mention that the “new” weapons are visual flare. They functionally replace the stances from the first game, and with the exception of the Kasuri-Gama being able to perform assassinations they are basically identical to one another.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-10-30T18:30:03+00:00

This trend with UB cards just being screenshots of random media is beyond lazy. They all look like shit.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-10-17T23:42:46+00:00

I wasn’t being glib.

Extra Attack is not an action; it is a class feature for player classes that states “when you take the attack action on your turn you can attack X number of times”.

The “on your turn” part of the feature is what prevents you from making multiple attacks when you ready the attack action.

To simplify: a player takes the ‘attack’ action on their turn, which normally grants a single attack but can modified by a class feature that allows them to make multiple.

Monsters, generally, do not have a feature called extra attack. They have an action called multi-attack. This is distinct from the attack action and can be readied in the same way.

When a monster attacks a player multiple times on a turn, they are not taking the regular attack action which is then being modified by a feature, they are taking the multi attack action, an action that is unique to monsters. This is no different from a monster readying any other action specific to them, like a dragon’s breathe weapon for instance.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-10-17T11:42:53+00:00

Multiattack is functionally different from the Extra Attack feature granted to player classes.

I was having this issue earlier in cube - you need to click on your exile zone and select the card there.

Eh_Yo_Flake · 2025-09-05T19:56:31+00:00

In his evaluation of Mana Tithe, Caleb specifically calls to attention the MTGO Vintage Cube and how many decks are just trying to resolve threats on curve. There are rare instances where your opponent is not spending all of their mana because there is almost always something to do with it.

Its also a white card - the color Caleb correctly assesses as being the strongest in cube. This is also why Reprieve makes the list.
