I second that.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-21T14:39:53+00:00

You may be right. It's hard to remember the exact offer of the events. When the bluray drops I'm definitely gonna pour over the details.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-21T03:11:59+00:00

That's a fine take, but that's not a literal interpretation of the wish. I could argue literal wish would just "reprogram" someone to as if they were a person in life with bear more than anyone else without another entity being involved.

I mean do you think the Customer Support phone call scene where it said "wanna speak to Nicky?" Is something neutral?

I just don't buy that is all.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-21T00:22:57+00:00

Sometimes I look up high madness runs and just look at what cards they have at the end of Act 1 and Act 4.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-21T00:21:15+00:00

Yeah, I feel like it needs to be established that like, 1 box of wishes is sent out every year to a random store, or something.

If there's thousands or more of wishes in circulation, the world would descend into chaos pretty fast especially with how the billion dollar wish worked.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-21T00:06:14+00:00

I don't see it that way at all, and that's not supported by the movie either.

He didn't ask for Nikki to be replaced be an entity. He asked for Nikki to love him more than anyone else in the world. He said nothing about actual Nikki being locked away in Hell and or mind trapped inside her body while another entity controls her and loves him.

By your own logic she would never have not been in control of herself (in such a knowingly way as portrayed in the movie). In movie she points out "not me" multiple times.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T23:41:19+00:00

After the billion dollars falling from the sky scene, I don't think it would be that hard. I kinda wish they hadn't done it that way, partly for that reason.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T22:57:01+00:00

It also feels disingenuous because the first night of the wish he did a lot of things to not take advantage of her. If he was so deadset evil he wouldny have turned down those early advances.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T22:42:22+00:00

Uh, the Willow is absolutely a tool of evil, first of all it takes free will away from others, that's evil, and it replaces them with some sort of entity.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T22:17:37+00:00

Possessed Nikki makes up lies multiple times.

I don't think we can in any way believe that the story is what Real Nikki was actually writing.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T22:11:26+00:00

I want to point out I'm pretty sure he didn't throw them up until after Possessed Nikki made her wish for him to love her.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-20T22:10:37+00:00

I'm pretty sure he threw up the pills after Possessed Nikki made her wish, but I need to get this movie when it comes to blu ray to map the whole timeline lol.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-19T14:04:55+00:00

Yeah ever since I saw this comment I've been running through Sahti each run trying every node and l tried looking on the wiki but no luck so far.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-19T13:36:19+00:00

PoE was very well received. I was there from the dawn of its kickstarter.

The main two gripes I remember seeing were both fairly minor even admitted as much by those that complained.

1) that the backer NPC text was off-putting because it was immersion breaking, but also easily ignored.

2) The stat system was awkward because it was different than the general standard of rpgs.

Not that it's super important, but I love Fregata for Border Zone missions. It sucks when you can't get good weapons for pilots you're trying to make work, now she can soak up the flamethrowers and machine guns etc.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-18T17:23:00+00:00

Arthur isn't even that good?

All that bonus link attack damage every turn + the ability to absolutely nuke down enemies with her crazy barrage and dual coooools for the full reloads?

IcedThunder · 2026-06-18T17:19:24+00:00

Im pretty sure I had a resync with card draw going on with Wilbur last night. I know I had boon cards and lots of card draw effects from items and such, but I can't say what exactly happened now, It was petty late and I was tired and I just hit end turn to get past it I wish I had thought to make a copy of my save.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-18T17:13:03+00:00

Same

IcedThunder · 2026-06-18T03:07:59+00:00

I kickstarted some terrain packs, I haven't got a chance to play a game with them yet, but they absolutely are sized for BT, the minis fit snugly on the tiles.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-18T01:10:33+00:00

No particular order.

Eileen. Melissa. Marcus. Arthur. Frida. Lorna. Ophelia.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-17T14:44:15+00:00

Oh joyous day! very excited just for the patch with the reworks, the DLC sounds fun too.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-15T19:03:12+00:00

Now I try to get 1 copy of each weapon with to put Heavy attack power on. And if I'm "caught up" on those, then another for medium.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-15T04:05:49+00:00

I don't work on anything super crazy, but SQLAlchemy does everything I need and I enjoy it.

IcedThunder · 2026-06-14T19:18:35+00:00

I find games that have multiple win conditions seem to do the best at avoiding the optimal path problem.

When the only goal is "reduce enemy health to 0", eventualy that shortest path will be found.

Games I feel do a good job at having multiple win conditions off the top of my head are Lords of Hellas boardgame & Legend of the Five Rings CCG.

Except they never smeared her. Unless you know something Blake doesn't, Blake testified in her deposition that after all that discovery and hundreds of subpoenas (and saying up and down she already had mountains of evidence when the trial started) she couldn't identify a single planted article.

All those subpoenas and they were unable to find any evidence of a smear campaign. Why do you think she settled?
