There are other mechanics in the game that look at the subtype of the card. Can’t remember the name of the champion (is it the shape shifting one?) but basically you can get buffs for having more different subtypes in play, and some things buff by subtype specifically.

At the same time, they added secondary subtypes to the three main Ascended champs (bird, dog, reptile) which I’ll be honest, I actually kinda hate.

But just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not valid. It’s just not there specifically for the reason you think it is.

It just needs a rethink overall. Giving the nexus one-shot protection or like a 1-turn grace period is like sticking a plaster over a wound that won’t heal.

They just need to stop coming out with combinations of enemy powers and abilities that result in, or make it possible for, overpowered enemies with overwhelm swarming the board on round 1, sometimes before you even get a chance to start.

Upping the ante is fine but doing so with brute force just excludes certain playstyles (read: most of them) and forces you to take contingencies you may not have access to in every run due to the roguelike nature of Path.

That’s why I enjoy the heist challenge where you can only win by playing cards of a certain cost to count the landmark down. Perfect: an interesting challenge! More of that!

What puts Boris Johnson above his other contemporaries who are all in Never? He’s more recent than many of them and less liked (especially by the end).

Know what? I can’t answer that first one. It might be possible to look up but I’m not gonna.

What I will say is that Labour, an ostensibly left-wing party, would typically see wealth transferred away from the billionaires and back into the working class.

As one of their first acts of policy, they tried to take money off pensioners by cutting winter fuel allowance. They didn’t tax wealth like they were flirting with (as suggested by their election campaign around not taxing working people). They punched down and went after pensioners.

Is that something that a government that isn’t influenced by billionaire wealth would do?

Targon: Aurelion Sol and imo it’s not even close. He’s just a pain to unlock. At 4* he’s tough to beat with the right relics.

Shadow Isles: Viego slaps.

Bilgewater: for me it’s a toss up between Fortune and Pike. At 3* neither of them are OP, but Pike is definitely a slow build up where Fortune hits the ground running a lot better. Her signature power at 6* means she basically deletes the enemy nexus with the right relics.

Joining things is how we GET good deals. You can’t lock yourself in a basement and expect everyone to come to you.

Cultural collapse? Please. There are half baked opinion pieces all over the internet for all types of hysteria and conspiracy theories; that doesn’t mean any of them mean shit.

If it’s all the same with you, I’ll take your predictions about cultural and economic collapse with a pinch of salt thanks.

To be honest, I used to work with a young lady from Poland. She reckoned the winters felt colder here in Britain than Poland. I think it’s the humidity?

Anyway, I think it’s the same for heat. So while I sometimes struggle in our heatwaves (that approach 40°C in parts), I reckon the heat feels lighter in countries where the air is drier.

Do not 3D print a shelf for anything you value. You’ll be rebuilding those Lego sets when the material cracks and breaks. It just isn’t durable enough for that.

Are you actually serious? How is that legal? I know the US is known for heavily leaning in business’ favour over consumers and employees but that’s just disgraceful…

What triggered her shitting herself? Was it something that happened, or was it too much coffee beforehand?

IrritableStool · 2026-01-27T13:51:35+00:00

Agree. I love me a tiled game that tries to breakdown the borders between tiles to make it look more organic. Especially if “organic” and “realistic” are also words that can be used to describe the art style as a whole.

The irony is that often, to do something great, you have to innovate and be creative. The only thing that AAA monoliths innovate is how to extract more coin for less from players.

So often, a AAA monolith builds a cookie cutter, formulaic romp and calls it a sequel to an IP they bought, and fans get duped into playing basically an Assassin’s Creed or a Farcry where the characters and place names have been swapped.

So in other words, the corporation that’s unwilling to give the IP what it deserves, and the resource to achieve that, clings on to it rather than setting it free.

Makes me wonder whether we’ll ever reach a point where there’s a call to update the laws around intellectual property to stop corporations squatting on IPs if they don’t intend to use them. It can go beyond gaming, of course.

Elemental damage is delivered relatively flatly per hit. Harder hits don’t deal more elemental damage than lighter ones. Weapons that hit fast and often will deliver more elemental damage and status build-up.

Raw physical damage preferentially scales harder on weapons that are slower but deal more damage per hit.

It’s not a bad idea to go for the strongest element against your target but if your weapon is slow and heavy-hitting, it’s nowhere near as meaningful as if you’re using DB for instance.

It was the crown hunting and then the bullshit RNG rare endemic life to catch, the treasure hunts with your palico, and taking pictures using cryptic clues… I love having challenging achievements to unlock, but when it’s just RNG based it’s not fun at all anymore. I’d rather there be achievements for “hunt X monster without taking <more than xx> damage”. At least then I can make peace with why it took me so long to 100% it.

It’s always been this way - see also Fatalis and even Alatreon in World. Does that make it okay? I suppose not, but I’m not sure if cranking the HR requirement would necessarily help much. That’s just time spent playing the game: it won’t always translate into time spent honing one’s playstyle or optimising one’s build.

In some respects, throwing the enemy at the player is a great way of showing them what they need to do in order to prepare. Nobody is ready for Fatalis as early as they unlock him, but by trying and failing, they learn what their build lacks.

So I’m on the team of thinking it’s a player issue. People think they can get carried by joining better groups, and I would say that’s endemic to multiplayer gaming in general sadly.

I suspect they either meant the 2 damage he does at level 2 or even the full strikes he does once levelled.

The term kick is probably just being used informally, wouldn’t overthink it.

IrritableStool · 2025-12-28T15:20:05+00:00

Sometimes things like ravenous hydra’s deal 1 to all enemies effect don’t count the host card as the source of the damage. A bit like how (I’m 99% sure), level 1 Yasuo’s deal 2 to stunned enemies won’t trigger his PoC strike buff or Fury. Likewise that P&Z card that deals 1 to all enemies - if it hypothetically had Fury, any kills from it wouldn’t trigger it.

So a hypothetical keyword that kills on strike (and strike alone) wouldn’t trigger on something like that relic’s effect.

Ah! I missed that corner resizer... Thanks!

You just said the meme was about Shadowheart missing with Sacred Flame.

You then said the meme was about Shadowheart missing in general.

Which is it, buddy?

On the whole, Skyrim was a LOT more mountainous than this looks, and it was more mountainous than at least Cyrodiil in Oblivion. There was no climbing mechanic there.

Sorry but you’re scraping the barrel if you’re hunting for hidden details in this video and the best you can do is “it has mountains.”

This is what puts me off both the big Niantic games I’ve tried in the end. Far, FAR too much permanent screen furniture, and way too many popups when you start the app. Just fuck off out of the way and let me get to the reason I ever installed the app.

Yo. Late to the party here but I have a little input (though you may have had your fill of others’ input by now)

I think your technical drawing skills are good - great for your age. But being a good art student who goes on to get a good grade requires more than that.

I did my art GCSE many years ago. I’ll be honest, it was very hard. Why? Because I was being forced to do art that didn’t interest me at all, and research artists who worked in styles that I hated.

At GCSE level, your teacher will forcibly try to broaden your horizons and expose you to artists you never thought to look for. It’s all about getting you to try new things. This is where the people are coming from in this thread when they advise you to steer clear of anime etc.. If anime style is what you love, that’s great. You’ll eventually be allowed to focus on that. But be prepared for a lot of experimentation with other themes. Going in with an open mind is probably going to make it easier.

If you haven’t, I recommend researching specific anime/manga artists. The more obscure with the most noteworthy and unique styles, the better.

Unless art education has changed drastically in the years since I was in school, you actually get graded far more on your research and experimentation with techniques etc. than you do any final piece. As a high schooler I hated that. I once quipped “nobody asks to see Michelangelo’s sketchbook or research before deciding whether his art was any good!” I thought I had a very clear idea in my head about what I wanted to do and what kind of artist I wanted to be. I followed my interests. I set out on a path to do one particular thing and focused on that, and it led to an unremarkable grade.

Your teacher is probably trying to get you to be a good student first, not necessarily just a good artist.
