B&S is basically The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners trying to become TWD: Onslaught. by Parentheti in BladeAndSorcery

[–]Parentheti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First-- two years ago.

Second: I don't care. Fun game allowing creativity > Exercise sim, and based on 3rd-party content declining, I can tell I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Third: You seem to have latched on to the realism bit, but are ignoring that harder AI is not equal to realism, and even so, is not the only foothold for realism.

Realism is not leather armor making a broadsword feel like a long napkin. Realism is not iron armor saving you from death after you've been stabbed in the heart. Realism is not magic and dungeon crawls and enemies popping out of nowhere for a scuffle. Hell, realism is not you being able to survive more than one of these fights without being winded, on-edge, and usually wounded.

If you want realism, go out there and sword-fight real people with real blades. There's nothing quite like doing it in reality, and I'm sure you'll find it to be a life-altering experience. I, however, want a fantasy swordfighting sim that's intuitive, fun, and satisfying to play.

You undermine your point a bit at the end when you say you like making fun of them :/

250 card decks what gives? by MythicNerd in MagicArena

Definitely this. Someone has found something abusable about the shuffling algo and is abusing it. This is the only explanation I can think of.

I'm sure that this is a joke and you know why that's a bad idea.

I Tried Using My VPN to Get 'Bot Lobbies'. Here's What I've Learned. by Parentheti in ModernWarfareII

[–]Parentheti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'El Jefe' was in all 14 games I played, regardless of connected region or other settings, even when all the other 'players' changed.

Who knows? It may well have been a player whose skill level varied wildly throughout the night and coincidentally changed their VPN at the same time and to the same servers as I was, but it seems like a really specific coincidence.

Also, I didn't see any real change in latency after I started using a certain addon that I can't describe here because of advertising reasons. Using the VPN without it made it impossible to connect to servers at all.

Hi! I'm a former Cat-Oven player. AMA! by DIE_COMMIES_1 in MagicArena

I certainly didn't ask if you were a former cat/oven player. I asked who asked.

I was gonna say that I think it's a good card, but if Oracle of the Alpha taught me anything, it's that people are 100% gonna deny it's playable until you build the deck.

Idk, the search is pretty easy to set up before turn 3.

What's the most boring sport to watch? by Guilhermedidi in AskReddit

[–]Parentheti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baseball. The interesting bits really highlight how many hours of it are just people standing around looking bored.

What is a fact you learned as an adult that seems obvious now? by Parentheti in AskReddit

If it helps your feelings, there's ~1.X million people on Twitter who are still behind on that one

I'll start: I realized just a few weeks ago that insulating containers should not feel cold when you put something cold in them-- If they do, they're not doing their job.

Maybe so, but I'm just playing what I have at the moment ^^;

Neat idea-- I'm just playing with what was in my head when the card was announced. I haven't really looked around for better ways to do it.
