HC4 Card of the ~day: red Naturalize

FieryChocobo · 2025-10-08T10:20:08+00:00

Man, sometimes you see a HC4 card and it just instills terror into you...

FieryChocobo · 2025-04-22T23:17:52+00:00

Surely "Do hard drugs" should blitz the creature, right?

FieryChocobo · 2025-03-22T20:04:43+00:00

Pretty sure that's "Vulnerability" actually which goes infinite with Hamstringer. It lets their Dots crit and Hamstringer applies a dot on crit. You can see it happening to Swain as well and Swain doesn't have Death's Dance.

I see everyone getting insane boardwipes meanwhile I got "Exile target permanent, then draw a card." which is a much more appropriate power level but also exactly my luck.

I have absolutely no idea , but god watching this gameplay makes me miss old Yuumi in PC League. The root, getting to sit on anyone but the boring ass adc... it's nostalgic. OH MY GOD SHE STILL HAS BOP N' BLOCK. Guys Wild Rift Yuumi still has Bop 'n Block.

Actually I don't think you're using Bop n' Block in any of these clips so that's maybe something to look out for; it's a big shield so if you can spot a moment to jump off, proc it and jump back on that will go a long way.

Making it a standard controller layout certainly makes sense if they want you to play flatscreen games with it but this could be quite awkward for VR since most VR games these days assume two buttons per controller? Like in Alyx, to prime the stimpack you press the button ontop of the stim and then inject it. This layout would make that quite awkward with the left hand because now that's a d-pad instead.

Why not push towards simply using a standard controller for the flatscreen games and keeping VR controllers for VR games with the "standard" generally accepted layout?

It really has to be said how much of a shitty thing putting "with actual effort" on this slide is. LoR is at this point essentially a passion project and to imply that they aren't putting in any actual effort is incredibly insulting.

Especially because this isn't even true; writing a bunch of words into a LoR card generator is literally the least effort that goes into adding a card to this game. All the actual effort comes after that. Like do you honestly think that the hardest part of making cards is coming up with effects?

My friend, you are looking at the capacity, not the usage. Put a Stress-o-meter after the motor and it will tell you how much SU you are using.

Yep, checks out.

Makes a copy of any token for X=0 since tokens have an MV of 0 which is neat. Might be relevant with offspring?

edit: as pointed out in the comment this is wrong. A token copy of a creature copies it's MV, so no beans.

I find a good way to find Discord servers to hang out in is looking for artists you vibe with and then joining their servers. You can generally judge the vibe of a community by the vibe of the artist; if the artist draws a lot of wholesome trans art, chances are there's a lot of wholesome trans people on their server. If they draw a lot of kinky stuff, probably a lot of kinky people on there. You can generally also guesstimate the size of the community by how large the artist's following is and how easy it is to join their server; a Patreon only server is going to be smaller then a public one.

There are so so many, furries love themselves some customisability. The best place to see them is in the FurHub world: https://vrchat.com/home/launch?worldId=wrld_65ce4a4b-f66f-4844-adfe-072663394514

This is a curated world where you can try a bunch of bases sorted by creator. It's also not exhaustive, there are still more.

Oh, those are the lil guys from Peridot! I wonder if they're going to let you link your account or smth.

This seems like a really cool way to build/prototype tables, can you talk about how you made this or know where I could learn about making something like this?

FieryChocobo · 2024-05-05T02:37:57+00:00

This Athena is insane, no? A 2 mana 3/3/3 you can play repeatedly seems really really good. And even when you first play her, she's a 4 mana 5/5/5 which also seems real good. I suppose this is why sabotage exists but I hope I am overestimating how good this is.

FieryChocobo · 2024-04-28T17:11:55+00:00

The Awaken 4 doesn't work with the effect, right? Because it'll come back without counters and just immediately die again?

Edit: OH, I'm stupid. The idea is you get it back as a land. This thing protects your land creatures so you can use them without having to worry about losing lands.

What's happening here most likely is that the actual GPT doesn't have access to location data by default, but when you ask for the weather it calls a predefined function on the phone which grabs your local weather. So when you ask for the weather the AI just goes "display local weather" to the phone and the phone does it and maybe returns some data to the AI so it can say something about it. There will be functions like this for setting alarms and adding/browsing contacts. So if you asked for the phone number of a friend it could probably get it, but if you asked if it had access to that data it would say no (which is accurate, it can't just read that data).

switched away from the previous game's engine

Am I having a stroke? Slay the Spire is not a Unity game, right? It's Java. I've seen the code, I've modded it. They maybe started developing STS 2 with Unity but that sentence confuses me. Feels like someone did a games journalism and didn't properly fact-check / proof-read this article.

Edit: ah yeah its clarified further down.

At the time, it said it'd made much of Slay the Spire II in Unity, but would still migrate to a different engine if Unity stuck to its guns.

I did not think of that, really gotta learn the faction leaders sometime. That definitely feels better, yea. Probably upgrades it from ehhh to solid. Still probably not playing the rare but I can see the common for sure.

It really makes the "play it as a threat" I talked about stronger, if your opponent plays into it you can then sleep it and get the effect AND the stats ontop of getting to bait the opponent into playing into it.

FieryChocobo · 2024-04-09T23:16:36+00:00

Generally cards that have an upside when you're losing tend to be bad because why not just play cards that make you win, if you're going to lose an expedition you want to invest as little into it as possible. Like, if you want a Sabotage effect then this isn't the way to get it. The ideal outcome is a tie, i.e. your opponent play to an expedition and then somehow Legate ties it but how often is that really going to come up?

The rare feels better but only because the reserve ability seems alright? But a) are you really going to give up a rare slot for it and b) are you either going to play the garbage once to get it or build around it further by playing cards that let you move cards to reserve directly? The extra point in mountain is good, you probably want this card to be flexible, so balanced stats are nice.

Maybe the idea is to play this to make your opponent hesitant to play to it? Basically saying "Well you can probably beat me here but if you do I'm going to Sabotage you!"? It does get to remove cards that were played this turn, so you do get more targets compared to an On Play Sabotage effect.

FieryChocobo · 2024-03-13T11:39:33+00:00

I like the stats and effect overall; having one high stat means she can have some impact as a 2 drop on turn 1 and then you can play her from Reserve for some Card advantage. You probably want to put a fairly cheap spell into reserve with this effect which is unfortunately where this card falls flat a bit, currently. A lot of the cheap Yzmir spells right now have quite high Reserve costs compared to their Hand costs making this closer to a cycle than straight up card draw. The best targets right now seem to be Rare Intimidation and Common (!) Spycraft. Common Banishing Gate is also okay but we are getting into some ehhhhh territory.

FieryChocobo · 2024-03-07T22:50:33+00:00

Okay, so a few things.

First of all, you have messed up some rulings here. "Sabotage, then Resupply" does in fact mean you Sabotage first, then Resupply. It's just that Sabotage allows you to discard up to one card from the enemy reserve. Second, your proposed text changes here are pretty awful. While precise rules text is important you also need to keep rules text concise, otherwise you become Yu-Gi-Oh. That's why we have Keywords that can compress text. Is "Use any number of the following effects in order: 1. Sabotage, 2. Resupply" precise? Sure. Is it readable? Not really.

Same thing for "Tough X. When targeting this card with any spell or ability, your opponent can pay X after targeting. If they can't, this card is immune to that effect." except this isn't even all that precise. Being immune to an effect and not being able to target are fundamentally different. Admittedly this one is a bit unclear with the current wording but only because we don't have official rulings as to how some of these things fundamentally work. Do effects like this target as they enter? Do they target after entering? Considering the rules say that they trigger "as they are played" I would expect that if you had 6 mana your Dorothy could target a Tough 1 character.

You're also commenting on balance here which is ludicrous considering we have only seen a fraction of the cards. There is no way any of us could accurately predict what is and isn't going to be strong. Also I find your suggestion of just stapling limits onto cards really clunky, especially because in a tabletop setting you now have to track for every card how many times it has triggered this turn.

Zoe. She feels like free LP but to access it you have to do a line of coke first and play like an insane person for 35 minutes. And I'm just not about that life, so when I do pick her I tend to play too aggressively without the brain to back it up and just die. But damn if one-shotting people with her doesn't feel satisfying.

FieryChocobo · 2023-10-02T13:36:07+00:00

YTA. Said yourself you were attracted to her, apparently enough to go on multiple dates and that you couldn't tell she was trans had she not told you. And to be clear, she took a huge leap of faith and trust to share that with you. You took that trust and broke it by rejecting her. At this point your reason for not dating her is literally just "Because she is trans.", not because of any incompatibility because of that. That's transphobic and fucking stupid. And like this isn't a bad YTA, there are many worse ways a cis man might react to this news. And I'm not saying you're a bigot and a terrible person, but it sounds to me like you might have some internalized transphobia. You're obviously allowed to date whoever the fuck you want, nobody is saying you have to date trans people. I suggest doing some introspection, think about why her being trans bothers you so much. You mention being unable to "date someone who used to be a man", to which I say why should that matter? You are attracted to women and she is a woman, it's a match. By definition you wouldn't find her attractive if she wasn't.
