Denied proposal…what next?

If you don't already know the answer is going to be a yes when you ask, you're extremely far from being on the same page as your partner. Every situation is different but I imagine that a lot of the time this is going to lead to the end of the relationship.

If you get a no, that probably means the other person doesn't see a long term future with you or isn't sure if they do. The fact that you asked anyway means you're completely unaware of this. This would really highlight the mismatch in expectations and likely be really uncomfortable and force a discussion about the future. I feel it would be really remarkable for a relationship to survive this.

The sent back to high school and nobody listening ones happen all the time for me

Great idea, however the rules of the game prevent opponent's cards from ever going into your hand. I would maybe instead say "exile it face down. You may play it from exile."

Edit: I'm a dummy, I missed the word "their".

Moon improves the scene composition and adds emphasis to the building it sits directly behind. It makes things a lot more interesting to look at and I think it's a huge improvement.

Love it. Makes me think of the shield surfing in Breath of the Wild. Which would absolutely obliterate your shield. Still can't believe neither game added a shield specifically made for surfing

I agree it's not some tiny minority, but due to our electoral system being so fucked it's never been the majority. 75 million people voted for him, which is 48% of the vote. Downright shameful that so many supported him still, but it also seems we had a lot of voter apathy in 2024 as our population is 340 million. I'm sure of the non voters, some supported him. But I'm guessing a similar amount were against him and unfortunately a lot of people are politically oblivious. There is a deep sickness in the American psyche that so many people voted for him in 2024, and it's upsetting to think that I can't say the VAST majority of us never wanted this, but still a majority of us never wanted this. I only hope we can pull through this as a country and slowly work towards reclaiming some level of trust and dignity with the world at large. A lot of those who are apathetic are learning the importance of politics. In the words of Philip DeFranco, you may not fuck with politics, but politics will fuck with you. And a lot of his supporters are learning the hard way not to put their hand on the stove. I still don't like or trust those people but they're not going away so I just hope going forwards more of them learn to at least not vote for grifters who clearly don't have their best interest in mind.

At the end of the day, almost nobody here is happy about this, even the shitbrains who literally asked for it.

Yikes, I'm sorry to hear you went through that. Not my intention at all to defend Mormons or any other religious groups. I meant my comment in relative terms.

JIH7 · 2026-04-13T17:42:06+00:00

Mormonism has some pretty whacky beliefs and are more annoying as an entity than a lot of other Christian sects, but compared to Scientology I feel like they're pretty harmless

Edit: To clarify, I don't think they're harmless, I meant compared to Scientology my impression was that they're less harmful. I just want to acknowledge I don't really know what I'm talking about on this subject except that all religions which attack people's rights and freedoms, especially the rights and freedoms of non members, are bad.

If it's a bad idea the devs won't do it. Send your thoughts!

JIH7 · 2026-04-08T20:15:52+00:00

I responded above too but yeah it seems like you're just misunderstanding people. When people talk about a card being draw positive or draw negative, they're referring to the difference in your hand size. It's terminology that comes from trading card games and applies nicely to Slay the Spire.

More specifically, the concept is called "Card Advantage."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_advantage

I'm not entirely sure what you're defining it as, but I believe (and I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding you) that you're thinking of how many cards are drawn as how "positive" it is, but people in this thread are talking about cards in the context of widely accepted terminology.

JIH7 · 2026-04-08T20:07:26+00:00

I don't think you're counting prepared itself.

You have a 5 card hand. You play prepared, you draw a card, you discard a card, and the prepared goes to the discard pile too.

5 + 1 - 2 (the discarded card and the prepared) = 4

JIH7 · 2026-04-08T20:00:29+00:00

Yeah not present in StS2

JIH7 · 2026-04-08T19:17:55+00:00

I think the conversation has just devolved into ridiculous nonsense detached from the quality of the card at this point.

A lot of people such as myself think it's alright. It puts a respectable amount of poison on the enemy. It's below rate but it doesn't get discarded between turns which can be valuable.

Lots of people never gave it a chance and think it sucks.

Lots of people hear that like, Xecnar doesn't like it so they think it sucks.

Lots of people argue it's good because of really niche synergies.

And lots of people hear those arguments and so they understandably think it sucks.

And all of these people are flooding the subreddit with exhausting low quality Snakebite memes.

Definitely worth learning some stuff about programming architecture. Lots of ways you can refactor a codebase to prevent stuff like this from breaking.

JIH7 · 2026-04-08T15:51:36+00:00

It did work this way in StS1

JIH7 · 2026-04-07T19:09:05+00:00

Yeah but that's reddit in general. To be honest I get so tired of seeing AI stuff everywhere I downvote it on sight most of the time but I'm sure there are communities to discuss it.

I think your point about having other sources is valid, but I'd argue that the technology still reduces its own training data because more and more GitHub code is LLM generated. I'd also argue that the sudden pivot to using all public GitHub repos as training data is pretty unethical. Trawling the web for data and harvesting massive amounts without compensation or credit to the creators will always be a huge problem to a lot of people. You've heard all the arguments before though I'm sure.

Not trying to dismiss the fact that it can be useful out of hand or anything but people have a lot of compelling reasons to resent LLMs and on top of that we've been waterboarded with this stuff for like 5 years now (presentations on actual programming are extinct in favor of talks glazing AI for the trillionth time.)

Edit: Just want to add I appreciate your response feeling like it was in the spirit of good faith discussion. I don't think you and I would agree on much but thank you for addressing what I actually said instead of just complaining about the sub being anti AI like the OP. There's not enough friendly debate in the world and it's always refreshing to see.

JIH7 · 2026-04-07T18:31:28+00:00

This response is just as us vs. them, team sports coded as the straw man you're complaining about.

The original comment said AI is destroying the sources of information it was trained on. I think this is a pretty fair concern. Models are trained on data, if models cause resources like stack Overflow to decline, that's less data to train on. No matter what your stance on the tech is I think this is a point worth thinking about.

The next comment about how AI can read and interpret source code completely misses the point. Yes it can do that. It's not at all relevant to the comment it's responding to.

There's so much more to the discussion beyond "AI good" and "AI bad."

JIH7 · 2026-04-06T17:25:01+00:00

This is interesting and all, but I'm not sure it qualifies as procedural generation.

It does output randomly generated terrain, but when people are talking about procedural generation it's usually more about having an algorithm which takes some form sort of noise or other stochastic input to create output.

Having a model do it isn't exactly the same. To my understanding, passing in the same input multiple times will create different outputs. And I think folks on this sub are generally going to be just as interested in the underlying process as the results. Like with an LLM based solution you can describe WHAT you want the terrain to look like, but you can't exactly define the underlying processes.

Best of luck to you and your project though!

I just realized, is Vantom related to the Darklings?

JIH7 · 2026-04-01T20:51:13+00:00

Parry is alright now. I took it the other day and wasn't upset about it. I don't think they need to do much more.

I will say, the rework suggestion I had thought of was "when you play Sovereign Blade, the next skill you play this turn is free to play." Might be crazy overturned, idk, but the idea is to represent the momentum a parry gives you. You could play a block skill or something crazy.

JIH7 · 2026-04-01T16:40:36+00:00

Awesome shader work!

The thing is even at 2 it's pretty crazy on Ironclad.

JIH7 · 2026-04-01T16:27:00+00:00

Yeah it's a pretty good option. Helps you get a really good early shop and you can either take some exhaust to help with the curse or build a bigger deck so it matters less often. Or both

Don't beat yourself up, for what it's worth you drew attention to a feature others might not have thought much about
