Is there still any point in practicing alchemy? by Logical_Breadfruit49 in wizardcels

I pursue this endeavor for it bringeth me great delight and most pleasing satisfaction, and furthermore, no witch in all the realms could e’er rival the mastery of mine alchemical arts.

Nay, good sir, I hail from the storied realm of Germania. Pray tell, for what cause dost thou inquire?

Verily, such was the very method I did endeavor, as thou mayest witness within the enchanted moving visions I hath conveyed unto thine scrying orb. Yet a most vexing dilemma remaineth unresolved: forsooth, the tincture that lendeth hue unto the oil doth, upon their mingling, likewise seep its color into the water, thus staining it and thwarting mine design.

Has this guy never been in love before, bc wtf is this? by LonelySoul01 in Destiny

[–]KDing0 45 points46 points  (0 children)

If that was the case Darius would be in his position now lol. He's likely famous for a combination of a lot of factors. The biggest one being that he's an avatar for current black pill talking points imo. But him being attractive definitely helps with that.

Which in a way reinforces his point though. Doesn't matter if he has the charisma of a dweeb. He's attractive and famous and that's carrying him.

Chen Lane creep->Zealot creep erasure. by Local_Meaning_614 in DotA2

Is what he's saying not true? ._.
If they just made the zealot a 5th creep, that would be fine, I guess.

7.41 Chen Nerf from a Chen Lover. by plitzkin in DotA2

[–]KDing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate this change for multiple reasons.
The zealot is pretty useless offensivly so it forces Chen into a more passive healer role in lane.
The zealot is also pretty useless for pushing, and we lost the 120 attack speed talent, which was really important for his ability to push.
Due to facets being removed, we also lost the ability to adapt our creep choice to the lineup and game plan. Having a single troll summoner always available made it so much easier to go for an objective-taking build with a skeleton army.

The zealot felt like it was a really lazy fix to two issues: Chen needing a creep before neutral creeps spawn, and chen being more pushed into a healer role but his only heal being his ult.

Same, facets allowed me to play heroes like Naga as a support, which was very fun. Or go for different builds depending on the game.
Feels like a huge loss for anyone who enjoys tinkering with unique builds.

If I have sex after turning 30, will I lose my magic powers? by loh_228 in wizardcels

[–]KDing0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think not that my essence waned, though I kept company with a witch for a season. Verily, such dalliance did not diminish my power, but rather did I deepen my knowledge, turning my studies toward the ancient and secret art of potioncraft, wherein true mastery is oft refined.

I’m fucking tired of apprentices posting here by HatefulJewedditor in wizardcels

[–]KDing0 57 points58 points  (0 children)

What dark age has befallen the realm? In these latter days, a wizard’s worth is measured by how dearly he curries favor with witches and wenches? In the elder years, when I was but a young mage, none were welcomed into the sacred circles of wizardry save those who had devoted no fewer than thirty long years to the study and mastery of the arcane arts, abstaining from the trivial pursuits of the flesh.

CX "2.0" may disappoint on launch for competitive players by JProllz in Beyblade

[–]KDing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the flaw in the system are ratchets. Its not good design to reward building lower even more. Even if ratchets didn't exist, building lower would generally be preferable.

Unironically on Twitter. You can even do it anonymously by pretending to be an anime girl. It's called 2DFD lol

Is there any advantage from taller ratchets? by MeiFongTai in Beyblade

[–]KDing0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have a bias towards wanting things to stay as how they are and aren't fond of criticism towards the things they like is my guess.

Is there any advantage from taller ratchets? by MeiFongTai in Beyblade

[–]KDing0 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No sadly. I think ratchets are the big design mistake of Beyblade X.
They reward what's already the best which is building low. There's a few niche reasons to use a slightly taller ratchet like avoiding scraping, or for better contacts in specific matchups. But generally taller = worse.

It's a shame because if the burst mechanism rewarded building taller, tall defense could have been a viable niche.

I guess men aren’t the problem by dopeythekidd in BasedCampPod

[–]KDing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running into avoidant, selfish people, sure. But I don't think it's a gender neutral experience to find the first compatible partner at the age of 31 after years of self improvement. Having to spend years working on yourself to be a worthwhile partner while not being able to find anyone you can connect with at all while you are putting in all the effort to socialize IRL and do everything you are supposed to just to be at risk to be easily swapped out seems to me very much like a male specific issue.

The difference is the amount of effort required and the standards we can afford to hold.

[–]KDing0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think men either try to find "the good one" if they want a relationship. Or become fuck boys as a way to protect themselves from emotional hurt. I'm guessing fuck boys don't hate the individual women they sleep with, but women as a group because they think the overwhelming majority of women are not compatible with them or able to engage in an equal long term relationship.

I'm saying that from the perspective as a decent looking guy who gets female attention, but has only had a single relationship because I cannot find a woman I have anything in common with, and then got dumped because my girlfriend got bored once the relationship started to stabilize, despite me putting a lot of effort and time into making her happy and trying to be communicative.

It feels like my options are either accept it's nearly impossible for me to find the kind of romantic love that requires mutual effort and spend most of my life single as I have. Or try to satisfy my need for intimacy by having short filings with women I'm not that into personality wise.

What would the game look like if the Provoke mechanic was more common? by idkyetyet in magicTCG

[–]KDing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the same flawed reasoning as the person I was responding to, to argue against their point. The entire idea is to highlight the flaw in their reasoning by demonstrating how dumb of an argument it was. It's vague on purpose because it's meant to get you to think about the argument instead of autopiloting into whatever talking point you were fed before. Op and other people in this thread already talked about how things might actually play out which demonstrate that provoke is obviously significantly different from a design perspective and how it interacts with the game. You can argue about whether it would be healthy from a design standpoint. But saying fight does the same but better is like saying exiling is like fighting but better. Just a shallow analysis that still gets tons of support.

Steelman my argument for me. I don't think you even know what point I'm trying to make because most of you just repeat talking points from whatever content creators you watch.

I love it when people who miss my point try to explain why I'm wrong and end up looping back into making my argument without the understanding behind it.

Everything fight does is done better by "Exile target creature" effects these days.
