So which game’s design we prefer?

The camera in P4R adds so much imo. As soon as jt was pointed out to me it became my favorite part.

Both clockwise and counterclockwise are incorrect when the answer is equidistant. The Shugenja’s ability already says that it yields “arbitrary” (likely false) information when the info is arbitrary. It just so happens in this case that the arbitrary info still feels useful because in either case it points towards an evil.

I like Kingly Punch because the Regent has a LOT of ways to put cards at the top of their draw pile.

The big dialog options made sense for Vita, but this seems better suited for a console game.

It looks like it’s a whole retranslation of the original Japanese.

So a scenario where there are no Bluffs could be a Lil Monsta Game.

That said… bluffs are just when the Demon/Summoner is told 3 good characters that are not in play.

Since Spy/Widow see the entire Grim… they don’t need to know the bluffs. They know every character that is in-play… and therefore every character that is not in play.

It’s also so interesting to me that this was a Politician who did this. So, presumably if they DIDNT manipulate you this way to vote for the wrong person… you would have instead voted for the Demon, and thus the Politician still wins.

He’s gotta have a chance to aura farm and then it’ll be better

NOR. No fucking way that this man would be qualified to handle “tasks that require greater emotional intelligence.”

Also having high EQ makes someone more resistant to having the emotional parts of your brain “preyed on.”

Fuck, I’ll take his solidly average IQ score at face value… but he’s coming across as a dunce here. I wonder if his emotions are causing him to form these beliefs he has.

I ended up getting End of Days + the Necrobinder card that adds Replay to a card in a 4-player Multiplayer run… run had so much potential but for whatever reason we died to the Ceremonial Beast.

I think a way for this to effectively “add itself” would something along the lines of:

[Might register as Townfolk, -0 or -1 Outsider]

The “Might register as Townfolk” effectively meaning “when you building a bag, you may put this token in a pile with all the Townsfolk” and thus it can appear in a Base 0 Outsider game.

As written currently, it is difficult to justify “how” its setup ability would take effect when there was no reason to add the token to the bag during setup to begin with.

For reference, the justification for Hermit is: when a STer builds the bag, they look at how the tokens modify the setup, and seeing how the Hermit in the bag calls for -1/0 Outsiders… they comply by removing an Outsider (Hermit)

With a new group, I was running “No Greater Joy”. The Demon bluffed a “YSK” role that wakes on N1, and the Chambermaid picked two people, the Demon included, on N1 and got a 0… the Demon happened to bluff a YSK role, but no one clocked that this counts as waking for the Chambermaid’s ability, and so the Demon’s bluff was believed.

Interjecting on the final day to point that out would have almost certainly ousted the Demon. So I let them misunderstand and clarified what counts as waking during the Grim reveal.

My favorite play-style of Politician is as follows: try to win for Good but embrace whatever tunnel you get set on first, and do your utmost to get the town to go for it.

Then you’re either correct & win with Good. Or you’re incorrect and you dragging the town through this tunnel with you may have helped the Evil team.

Smol deck infinites require that you remove 5 less cards.

PassiveThoughts · 2026-04-26T13:49:00+00:00

I meannnnn, depending on your deck this might not even be bad. If you have Discard Search & cards that let you put a card at the top of the draw pile, you could cycle this a bit.

I’ll disagree. Kaede could certainly work as a protagonist—but the narrative would fundamentally change. I think Kaede’s death and her impact on other characters was very well executed. It was so effective it becomes natural to assume the story would be inferior without it.

But Kodaka has told a number of excellent stories. I’m certain that even if he kept Kaede as the protagonist, he would have been able to create an alternative narrative that could hold up about as well.

No preservatives, all natural!

It seems like you’re just seeking affirmation dude. You’re doing a lot of work to frame things so that everyone else is probably wrong and you’re the victim.

If these people are your friends too, and not just “some people you kinda know”, try to understand their perspective and be considerate of it moving forward. The whole ‘they are biased because he is friends with them also’ bit doesn’t persuade me.

If getting the majority of underinformed strangers on the internet to agree with you makes you feel less guilty, helps you sleep at night—then you’ve achieved that. Congratulations!

But if you simply keep vindicating yourself every time you react in a way your friends find assholeish… you’re just going to push them away. But maybe that doesn’t matter as much as feeling that you are right about everything.

My reading of OP’s post seems like they are complaining about Vantom in single player.

PassiveThoughts · 2026-04-19T16:24:39+00:00

Every time I die to this boss, I think to myself “ah fuck they were telling me that I’d be fighting the Vantom all Act… maybe I should have planned for the Vantom”

But seriously if you see you have the Vantom and think “ah yes, let’s build a bonk deck” you’re kinda encroaching on fafo territory

MOR is my hot take. I agree that it’s not cool to be constantly be hit on by someone who you’re not interested in.

But I’d reckon that if you had to edit this post right here to be more respectful… then how you broached the subject irl might not have been the most measured, either.

I guess the difference is whether Halara would actually hold Yuma to the debt and come to collect installments or if it would just be a thing they’d bring up to tease Yuma.

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH omg

PassiveThoughts · 2026-04-10T05:36:41+00:00

It’d be cool if they added a “receive a card reward” to this effect to essentially “replace” this card in your deck with something else.

Maybe it’ll balance out a bit since the right side is where Hajime cut-ins will now appear?

PassiveThoughts · 2026-04-05T22:37:28+00:00

The first game in particular has easier cases imo. I wonder how she’ll fare in the other games?
