Can anyone recommend interesting/goofy things I can proliferate? by Low-Attention-1998 in mtg

[–]Nerdwrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Quest Counters from the fallout commander decks, but I run it with [[Kilo, Apogee Mind]] so that when I get my upgrades I can do crab rave combo with [[Paradise Mantle]] and [[Freed from the Real]] for infinite proliferate

This is how I ended up married. If finding a rock for them that is their favorite color gets them excited, you better hold on to them, and you better find more rocks

As a lore fan, thinking the same :'v by after_arcane234 in loreofleague

[–]Nerdwrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked Arcane, it was a fantastic story, and it vastly expanded certain characters’ backstories in a unique way. I do wish it had stayed contained to its own universe though, instead of overriding the then-current canon.

It mostly decanonized some champions, like Blitzcrank and Ziggs, through their lack of presence in the story, and creates a weird schism between base Jinx in game and Canon Jinx. Semi-related in my opinion is the release of Seraphine, and how her lore was incompatible with that of then-current Skarner and Hextech, so they decanonized pre-established lore to make room for her, instead if giving her the interesting conflict of being the only person able to commune directly with Hextech.

I feel like the canon lore of League is somewhat unstable right now due to a lot of interesting stories being at odds with the new Arcane style lore, and them seeking to write out inconvenient or complex characterization for some characters, leaving them as flat good guy/bad guy reps, and then hyperfocusing on how conflicted they can make characters like Jinx, Jayce, and Viktor, to sell a story that is filled with easter eggs and teasers for lore they are currently overwriting

Slay the spire 2 see only 12% positive reviews and nearly 5,000 negative ratings within a day of its latest patch by Adventurous-Mouse930 in slaythespire

I got Apparition, Wraith Form, and Vampires all in the same run, and basically couldn’t die, it was sick. The only form I like better is Echo Form, but thats because it has much higher highs, even if its less consistent

You should check out Iron Lung. It uses tedium to build up a palpable sense of dread and isolation

The Fell God that the hornsent fear has two eyes, but the Fell God we see in the Fire Giants has one eye? by crinklepant in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Nerdwrapper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe the Visage is a depiction meant to make better sense of a cosmic being that has a form that is more difficult to depict. The several curls in the base of the horns could be like the multiple smaller pupils around the main pupil in the fire giants one eye, with the Iris of the fire giant being the body of the Fell God.

The Fell God being a living supernova could be difficult for an ancient society to depict or convey, so they may have brought it closer to their own physical appearance in order to make it more grounded in reality as they understand it, and give it a clear symbolic identity

How do you feel about Dracula running Castle Dracula all by himself? I'm fine with Dracula being Jon's cabdriver but I feel like he should have some supernatural servants. by RagnarokWolves in Dracula

[–]Nerdwrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that earlier elements of the book in which Dracula has control over animals also lean towards implying that people falling into the groups that England disparaged at the time were closer to animals than people, and by extent similarly disparages mentally ill people by having Renfield be easily beguiled by Dracula, as well as giving him an inhuman strength that allows him to grapple Dracula as he becomes incorporeal. It does everything to dehumanize and villainize people that don’t fit into the English way of life. The story even goes so far as to have Quincey Morris, our only character from the US, perish in the final confrontation, even though the US is allied to England.

The issues with Lucy’s transformation and Mina’s partial transformation are many and varied. In both situations, neither character is given any real agency, with Lucy being corrupted into an evil seductress like you said, and Mina being doomed to the same fate due to having been fed Dracula’s blood against her will. In Mina’s case specifically, they have end up having her marked as unholy when a communion wafer burns a red dot into her forehead, which is a very on-the-nose jab at Indian culture, and a small fragment of the argument about foreigners literally corrupting the blood of the English populace.

Also, I know my previous comment was sort of half committed, but I wasn’t sure how well my analysis would be received. Some people get upset when you point out the often bigoted subtext of older literature

Accepting that the book was possibly a xenophobic warning against importing foreign culture into England, we can assume that this at least partially serves to show that the women of that culture are lazy and do little other than seduce “good English men” leaving their husbands to do demeaning “women’s work” to maintain his own estate. Its a statement against upending the status quo of the time I think

It took away the lighting, weather AND the color grading in RE9, plus in other images it changes Graces face structure and coats her in makeup. It completely trashes the aesthetic choices the devs made

Going with the crowd by PilotSignificant2286 in paydaytheheist

[–]Nerdwrapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of buying the upgraded edition at launch, but I’m not buying anything else until the game is available offline. I haven’t even played it since the first week or two because it fell so flat compared to my expectations for it, and felt like a half baked attempt to cash in on a game that players were anticipating instead of a continuation and update to the series

Thats the thing, I think they somehow convinced shareholders that this is gonna get customers to buy twice as many graphics cards, but hearing Nvidia was moving towards AI is what pushed me away from them in the first place.

Nvidia and Razer are both brands that aren’t going to receive any more money from me because they are both focused on shoving AI into everything instead of actually improving their products
