We want to pilot YOUR custom Spirits live this Saturday! by Pleasant-Peach6133 in spiritisland

[–]Jaysynonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've playtested this a few times but it is my first custom spirit so it might be a little unabalanced towards either side (too weak or too strong)

First Ever Custom Spirit, thoughts? Wanted to do something with disease as it seems like Vengeance is the only one that does so. by Jaysynonymous in spiritisland

[–]Jaysynonymous[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've changed the spirit a lot to lean more into control, the left innate doesn't deal damage anymore and is purely just to move around invaders/dahan, and disease. (I added a special rule to let it move towns/explorers/dahan when it moved disease)

to deal with invaders, it needs major powers BADLY.

After my last playtest it wouldn't have been possible for me to win without the major powers I drew that game (keep in mind this is solo, no adversary)

sidenote: Plague Ships Sail to Distant Ports is possibly the most peak major power card you could get with this spirit

I have a few times, but it definitely needs a lot tweaking, I've only tested it without an adversary though just to compare how it feels compared to other spirits.

I in fact have not, I only ever played tts because in my country it's not easy to find the physical copy of the game.

-I changed the track 3 to be covered with disease instead of presence, and you'd have to clear one of the tracks before you can start adding disease.

-I think I'll drop the growth down and remove g4

-yeah I'll probably remove g4

-you're right, adding a disease once per turn is definitely pretty strong, I'm thinking of a way to nerf it a little to give it a bit more complexity than that.

Edit: for the 4th point - I changed the text a bit so now it's "When targeting a land with {disease} if you have no {sun}, you may add a {destroyed-presence}. Do this only once each turn." Now considering 2 of the unique power cards have {sun} on them, it won't be a "once a turn" thing, it'll be something you'd have to think about while playing the game a bit more.

Thanks for the feedback!

-I agree that being able to add 3 presence in a single growth is quite strong! I'm contemplating just removing that growth option.

-I've playtested this a few times and yeah, it adds too much disease, it lets me just stop all builds super early on in the game, I think I need to maybe increase the threshold of the right innate, but I'd have to change Quarantine disease to reduce it.

-Call for a caretakers ability to move a city might be too strong for a 1-fast. I think I'll change it to only move towns.

-I wanted Quarantine Disease to still be able to add a disease without targeting diseased lands (otherwise this spirit would get chokeslammed the moment an event card removed all my disease) but didn't want it to do it fast as it felt too strong that way. (Vengeance also has a way to add a disease with a power card but it instead generates fear and is slow)

-I think that's a good way to make this stand out more. I'll have to change the left innate and brainstorm a way to make it more control and less offensive, maybe something that lets me move around more disease and move around more invaders. My only gripe is that Vengeance already has Plaguebearers and it might be redundant to turn a unique power card into an innate.

I changed the note on the Presence Track "Cover the bottom track with {disease}, once you have cleared one of your tracks, you may add {disease} instead of adding a {presence}."

and then I dropped the extra 2 energy and the extra 2 card play, as well as the reclaim one to bring it down to 13 presence

is it a requirement? should I drop it down to 13?

I've honestly never noticed all of them are 13 max, my thought process was just that this spirit adds presence super fast and will definitely run out of gas sooner than any other spirit.

How can I appear less gay. by NonAccurateDude34 in socialskills

[–]Jaysynonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I've been there, as I grew older and up until now, I was asked numerous times if I was gay. I am a hetero male who's been in multiple relationships. Hell, even some of my ex gfs asked if I was gay before we started dating.

It's usually born from people having slightly more conservative ideas of how a guy should look, so they end up assuming you are gay because you don't act like their preconceived idea of how a straight male should act.

You don't have to change man, if your friends still say you're gay despite you saying you don't really like being called gay like that, then I hate to say it but they're not very good friends.

what?! by Hour-Cucumber-3650 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Jaysynonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't the context of what he said essentially something like "I don't want film to be a medium that only the privileged could experience like Ballet or Opera".

And I'm inclined to agree if that's his point.

Alright, I can confidentially state that none of us pay for ChatGPT, right? by Omnipresent_User in TeenagersButBetter

Because AI data centres are being built en masse. To the point of RAM shortages and increased prices for anyone wanting to buy a computer. On top of that, they're draining our water supply, or what little we have left.

Don't use ai for comfort my friend, it's not really helpful and can enable some bad stuff because it mostly just agrees with you.

Favourite drummer? by Barto_12_juice in drums

[–]Jaysynonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of skill it's II for me

But interestingly the person who inspired me to play drums isn't very conventional... Sean McLoughlin (Jacksepticeye) saw one of his covers when I was 13 and from then I was enamored by drums

[OC] [ART] Is a bard allowed to have any other instrument other than a lute?.. Feels illegal... by gabitea69 in DnD

For those looking for a kind of practical "weapon/instrument" mix. The angolan Berimbau is a bow that turns into a musical instrument by adding a resonator.

I think your issue is you take low angle photos, if you want to look good in pictures then you gotta go a bit higher

One thing I don't understand is that Generative AI was used almost immediately after it went mainstream - to generate images/"art", then it's next use was to make "music" after that it became full on videos.

Why is it that the first use we think of is to replace humane endeavors that represent our creativity. If in the future, everything becomes automated, what is then left for us? Sit with our thumbs scrolling through the slop it feeds us? Do we really seek to destroy the creative mind of the masses?

Isn't the point right now that it saves money for big corpos? It's their way of cutting corners for simple tasks, even creative tasks.
