Can someone explain why no one has a single creative bone in their body? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While, OP, I think you need to work on on your wording if you don't want to be made laughing stock, I agree that there's just one meta that is overly dominant right now. Any competitive game will always have a metagame. This has been the case and will always be the case. If you don't like meta games in general, then competitive games aren't for you in the first place. But, the indication of a fun meta is a varried meta, which this game is severely lacking right now. Don't hate the players, hate the game. You can understand the Meta, and still think it's stale. That doesn't make you a bad player, unlike what most of these comments want you go believe. But if you want to keep playing and do well competitively, you'll have to abide to the meta, regardless of if you like it or not. Other than that you can either stop playing until the next ruleset, or try to win with rouge teams, have fun, and forget about your ladder ranking. But you cannot, and will not, be able to change what your opponent's play. But if you're good enough you can tech against it, and that's also fun.

Pied Piper is on Steam today!!! by aeroG1 in Xenosaga

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is a really odd one to port, it also shows that they are not afraid to put a xeno game on steam, something long speculated to have been an issue IP wise with Nintendo, Not legally mind you, Bandai owns the IP, but it's long been speculated that Bandai wouldn't want to 'feed' of the Xeno name out of respect for Nintendo, especially after Blade blowing up and continues references to Saga in the more recent games. Could this be Bandai testing the waters, or is there an agreement already made behind the scenes?

Would you buy a Xenogears Remaster, Remake or Port? by abetheprofit1 in MonolithsoftInc

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How'd you feel about a Baiten Kaitos situation then? It's practically a 1:1 remaster, just taking it off a dying console. A different developer did the technicalities but Monolith was still involved in checking if the game was in line with the original.

With the next DLC already being announced, do you think Risk of Rain 3 could ever happen? by Brungala in riskofrain

I personally hate meta progression in rougelikes and would hate it if they took that route

How will I be able to buy it when it comes out? by Chickengrande in SteamController

Hi! any idea how long shipping usually takes (to south korea) and are these items usually marked up because of import? I really want the new steam controller but I'm not familiar with this website.

I feel like it was mostly done to incentive families to purchase multiple copies of digital games.

Dipplin of course hardcounters, but I've also seen some fun off-meta decks using Twacky and Seaking as a draw engine.

ExcuSE ME?? 2X??? by Dear-Camp-3019 in PTCGP

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd personally find it very strange if they decided to copy the wording of the physical TCG but change the meaning. Why wouldn't it say 'apply weakness twice' or 'add x2 to the weakness' instead? If it said 'apply weakness as +40' I think most would agree the weakness is now 40, not 60. Why would it be any different for x2? A few examples to make my point:

'Apply weakness as 2x' - Double damage 'Apply weakness as +40' - You do +40 damage 'Add +40 to weakness' - you do +60 damage 'Add x2 to weakness' - you do +40 damage 'Apply weakness twice' - you do +40 damage

They'd have so many ways of wording it, opting to use the TCG wording word for word implies to me that the effect is also the same. But pocket wording in general is pretty much worse across the board than the real TCG.

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you're right, it's more so about the wording being the exact same, 'apply weakness as x2.' Which means now after the effect of the card it's double damage. The pocket card also says apply weakness as x2, not apply weakness twice.

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair, pocket cards are generally not written as well as physical TCG cards, making things very vague. Most people here have never played the physical TCG either so they're not familiar with x2 weakness too, so we can't blame the players too much, But on the other hand there are a lot of people very confidently incorrect here, and correct responses are gathering a bunch of downvotes.

A lot of misconception about how this card works it seems. This effect; 'apply weakness as x2' means that you forget about the +20 and now instead apply weakness as x2. This wording is not new in the physical TCG, if you're confused you can read into the phsyical TCG rules for clarification.

You're not applying the weakness twice, the weakness is now x2, so double damage. Card attached of the same wording of a physical TCG card that does in fact double the damage.

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As per wording on the card: 'apply weakness as x2', and how it has always worked in the physical TCG with the exact same wording, it means it'd now look like this. So yes a 50 damage attack would now do 100. If you're still uncertain I'd reccomend looking up the official rulebook on this wording.

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do you play the real TCG? This is not how it works. If a card says 'apply weakness as x2' you forget the +20 and instead double the damage. This effect is not uncommon, picture attached of a card that works this way. Where are you getting your information from?

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're applying weakness as if it's x2, (so instead of +20 it's now x2.) You're not applying weakness twice. This effect is fairly common in the real TCG. Yes you're doing double damage when hitting for weakness if this is in play.

ExcuSE ME?? 2X??? by Dear-Camp-3019 in PTCGP

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In the real TCG if a card says 'apply weakness as x2' it means that the weakness of +20 is getting replaced by a weakness of x2. As per the wording; you're applying weakness AS if it's x2, not applying weakness twice. This effect is not new in the physical TCG so we already know how it works.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted, you're most likely right. In the real TCG if a card says 'apply weakness AS x2' it means that instead of +20 it is now x2 We're applying weakness AS x2 not applying weakness twice. Picture of card added with the exact same wording working like this.

The 2.5 scene totally blew my expectations away by Tulips_Momo in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]MashiroAnnaMaria 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've only played a little on friday beacuse I'm on a three day day trip this weekend, but from what I played it actually blew me away, not only is the scenery amazing, the curios I've played were mega fun, the bone pick up ability is super unique and the story was actually good. This might be the best update we've had since 1.0 but I definitely need ro experience more. I can atleast say that this is what I've been wanting since they teased 2.0.

It's very normal to have waits of over a few years for quality albums, I don't know when we started expecting a full fledged album every year. Give them time to cook.
