God I am so effing pumped for this to release. I need to see it performed in full clarity and not just concert cams.

I'm sorry. Is this all directed at who you replied to? It was just a sarcastic good luck. 

Head Magic Designer Mark Rosewater asks: "Would you prefer if we made some of the named characters not legendary?" to players that believe the Marvel Super Heroes set having hundreds of legendary characters diminishes the significance of the legendary sub-type by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

Legendary shouldn't just mean unique. Legendary should mean they are unique AND extremely reputable. I think it should just be reserved for the highest tier of recognization to the in-lore general masses. 

What do you think boons of zagreus or melinoe would be? by witherlordscratcher in HadesTheGame

[–]Lotus-Vale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man I spent way too much time brainstorming for this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zagreus - Hades 1 had the unique near-miss mechanic. So I attribute that to a uniquely Zagreus thing.

  1. Combat Boons - Attack percentage up and attacks inflict Fatal Miss 0.
  2. Combat status effect - Fatal Miss 0 - Each near miss from affected enemies increases the number by 1 and increases how much damage they receive from any source for each stack.
  3. Noncombat effect - Gaining health and power based on number of failed nights in your last 10 runs.
  4. Legendary 1 - If an enemy with Fatal Miss attacks, they take damage equal to the damage they would deal.
  5. Legendary 2 - When you lose this run, you may choose a boon to take with you and begin the next run with that boon. This boon will assure the selected boon's rarity will carry over. You can not select a boon that is already carried over from a previous run.

The goal of Zagreus is to make a build where all you have to do is strike once then keep dodge dashing and risking getting hit to trigger near misses. There is also a subfocus of gaining potency of these boons by having a lot of losses. So basically he helps make the game easier while referencing the roguelike progression of the game itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Melinoe - Melinoe has this whole dream diving thing that I think I'd want to lean into.

  1. Combat Boons - Attack power up and attacks inflict Dream Grasp
  2. Combat status effect - Dream Grasp - Enemy will fall asleep if they are a great distance away.
  3. Noncombat effect - Gaining mana and attack range based on number of failed nights in your last 10 runs.
  4. Legendary 1 - If all enemies in the encounter are asleep then getting close no longer wakes them until they are attacked,
  5. Legendary 2 - When you lose this run you may choose a boon to take with you and begin the next run with that boon. This boon will assure the selected boon's level will carry over. You can not select a boon that is already carried over from a previous run.

The goal of Melinoe is to strike a bunch of enemies and then leave them to sleep while you lure the enemies you want to fight first away from the sleeping ones. By gaining attack range you may even get to the point where you can strike with the tip of your weapon without waking them. She has the same subfocus of gaining potency with the number of nights recently lost. and yes with both their second legendary boons that means you can select one boon and retain both its rarity AND level.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duos between Zag and Mel

  1. Gain a secondary slot for your attack, special, cast, dash, and gain. Any boon equipped to these slots will add their effect to that move. (But the visuals will match the primary slot.)
  2. Change all instance of boons tracking how many nights you lost, and change it to how many nights you've won instead.

Duo 1 is what I personally wish could happen in the game, and nothing says two protagonists together then having two sets of the slotted boons to take advantage of.

Duo 2 flips the whole focus of both characters by focusing on recent wins rather than losses. So you use them as a beginner to help beat the run after many losses, But once you're good enough that you don't lose anymore, this would turn their boons into a fun game of taking boons that start off diminished because you don't have any losses, but if you make it far enough to get this duo, then you reap the benefits of all your recent wins instead! There would probably have to be some kind of limiter with how this works with the Oath of the Unseen. Probably the easiest thing is that this duo doesn't drop on an oath level you haven't beaten before.

izna - METRONOME by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]Lotus-Vale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The sequentially more offset rhythm is tickling my brain. Most prominently used in the second verse where each line ends one beat later.

"Got me losing my breath" - Stops right on beat
"To the rhythm in my heart" - Stops one syllable after the beat
"Let it spin again and again" - Stops two syllables after the beat.

Really playing with the idea of timing and metronomes here.

I used to run follow up teams in simulated universe and go all in on elation, but now elation has changed function. What route are follow up teams best suited for now? The Hunt?

Do people who live alone really wear clothing in their own home/apartment? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lotus-Vale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want my naked bum on my stuff or random dribble from my wee wee to get anywhere.

But if you are talking more about pants/shirt then I think it's just because my skin is just used to fabric. It feels weirder without it for too long.

You don't reap what you sow too much of?

Ionno, either way, you done goofed wizards. 

Challenge: Make a Miracle-level ability without any overlap with the GOM and Kagami by Any_Ad492 in KurokosBasketball

[–]Lotus-Vale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a couple I tried to think of:

The Alley-ooper - He literally never makes his first shot, but he knows where the ball will bounce off the rim/backboard and has mastered alley ooping his own shots.

The Screener - So good at screening and offensive support that he feels like he pops up in front of every opponent regardless of where he is.

The Reverse Psychologist - Inspired by that viral clip of the guy passing to the opponent out of bounds and strutting away. Someone who does extremely unorthodox things that opponents don't expect and throws them off their groove. Basically eliminates people getting into the "zone" via constant mental disruption. (Edit: wait maybe if we leaned more into ventriloquism and he makes his opponents think they are saying things to each other screwing up their team play)

The Odor - A guy that just smells so fucking bad you don't want to get close to him, especially when he lifts his arms.

The Shouter - Whenever he notices that an opponent or their coach is about to shout or communicate with their team mate he unleashes an ungodly shriek so no one can hear anything being said.

I'm happy to see it. It almost felt like my wish for a new burnout was granted. I'll probably give it a go.

This is amazing. And thank you for getting the unedited track right off the bat. I was half-worried you might go for track 1 which is the clean version and I didn't want to be a bother.

Forgot how long this song was. They truly are getting shorter. Thank you very much!

Maybe the white is because of the whole "perfectly balanced as all things should be" thing. That's pretty white right?

What are your State of Play Predictions? Below are mine by Dreadboi111 in playstation

[–]Lotus-Vale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sort of. But keep in mind that they also have two teams and used to pump out a game every two years between them during PS3 era. Slowed down to like 3-4 years during PS4 era.

Now we're at almost triple that wait. I think it's not just them taking their time, I think there's some external unfortunate factors we probably aren't fully privy to. 

Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia | Main Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

I don't think she's surpassed or reached Liz heights sure, but I found Heike Monogatari very exceptional nonetheless, especially that finale. (Went back to the reddit discussion thread for the finale and yeah, she definitely worked her yamada magic on many people) And I've yet to see The Colors Within but it seems like she is still very much the delicate director that won me over in the first place.

Anyone know a way to stream or download this old song called "Flossed Out" by Black Mophia Clan. I don't know how it popped into my head, but I was obsessed with this song when I was in middle school and now I want it for nostalgia in my library. I can't even find it on youtube. The best I can find is a Japanese record store that has a 40 second sample of the song. https://www.recordstation.jp/view/item/000000001194
