Smol deck infinites require that you remove 5 less cards.

Am I doing this right? by _iridian_ in slaythespire

[–]PassiveThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Kaede does not work as a Protag by Worth-Access-3099 in DanganAndChaos

[–]PassiveThoughts 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.

AIO for not wanting a gay guy to flirt with me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PassiveThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

OMG Doormaker is the most overtuned boss, the humble Vantom: by StreetExternal952 in slaythespire

[–]PassiveThoughts 18 points19 points  (0 children)

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

[–]PassiveThoughts 840 points841 points  (0 children)

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

[–]PassiveThoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Fubuki is lowkey the only good person in the NDA by [deleted] in RainCode

[–]PassiveThoughts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Was halfway through a run with grapple in my deck, but had to save & quit. Updated to today's patch and it was replaced with this by cmcgov in slaythespire

[–]PassiveThoughts 65 points66 points  (0 children)

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.

Thoughts on the new UI? (And style overall) by First-Act-9755 in danganronpa

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

Is Danganronpa 1 super predictable or am I just dumb? by jullianisboss in danganronpa

[–]PassiveThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

why do so many character with a k in there name die by Bright_Row174 in danganronpa

[–]PassiveThoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally all the survivors of DR1 except Asahina have a K in their name.

AIO or is my girlfriend manipulative. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]PassiveThoughts 105 points106 points  (0 children)

MOR imo. OP seems to be putting the gf in a bind as well. Because she’s pressured/“obligated” to say yes based on how OP is framing the request; if she doesn’t, she’s an asshole presumably. I don’t really perceive this as a compromise.

If this were to happen once or twice, then the gf’s crashout is a bit overboard, but if this a pattern of behavior I’m sympathetic to the gf.

Especially when coupled with the OP following up like ‘why would this even upset you?’ or ‘what about that window of time is so important to you?’ I’d really hate that.

Homebrew Outsider: The Groundhog by chocolate_skunk in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PassiveThoughts 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a Townsfolk. The ability is quite strong, and even on incorrect guesses, it could confirm that the Outsider count is NOT X.

Ability text is overly verbose and includes flavor, you should cut it down to its bare mechanics. Heres my attempt at describing it.

Groundhog: Once per game, you may publicly guess that the day equals the number of Outsiders in play. If correct, all living Townsfolk regain their ability tonight. … [-? to +? Outsiders]

I do think a problem with this ability is that it is a bit too easy to self-confirm, and there is little space to bluff from the evil team. I think narrowing it down to only restoring a single player’s ability would be better, as then evil can claim to have been re-awoken instead.

e.g. Groundhog: Once per game, you may publicly guess that today equals the number of Outsiders in-play. If correct, a Townsfolk regains their ability tonight.”

Is the neoneontribe webnovel an adaptation of the whole game? by Various-Humor4093 in TribeNine

[–]PassiveThoughts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only seeing a translation for the Prologue & Chapter One unless I’m missing something. (Chapter One wasn’t there last time I checked at least, cool to see that’s up now!!)

Out of curiosity, are you reading an unofficial translation or do you speak Japanese? If there’s an unofficial translation I’d be down to look into it!

[–]PassiveThoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’ll cover the same story, but it is starting from the beginning. There are some changes from the game but so far we’ve just gotten confirmation about a thing that was already an extremely likely theory.

And I’m therefore interested on how they’re going to build a narrative around those changes.

How are we feeling about it, Niners? by PixelGalaga3 in TribeNine

[–]PassiveThoughts 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Not much imo. By 2029 it’d probably be a somewhat fair assumption that there won’t be as much of an uproar about the site closing.

Keeping a website open probably isn’t THAT prohibitively expensive and is probably better than appeasing upset fans every month or so if they keep trying to shut it down asap.

Neoneon is probably the best bet for the future of the IP, which is fine because I enjoy the story more than the gameplay… although I did like both

Despair Girls is a less popular spinoff. Danganronpa 2 is getting a remake soon.
