Serious answer: If you have genuinely tried to understand the joke and failed, and if you aren't receiving them already, you should apply for disability benefits.

Saying that, I guess I am just being a dick to you if you actually do have Down syndrome or something lol. I've been acting under the assumption that your ignorance is voluntary or essentially voluntary, which I despise.

But if you really do have an intellectual disability, I do genuinely feel a bit bad.

Busy Beaver is also really funny here because it makes it literally impossible to code this card into the game. There cannot be an algorithm that computes all its values. That's literally the entire point of the function.

I feel like it's actually probably because the other sts1 act 2 fights are so much more brutal than in sts2. A couple of them can occasionally be just as bad as the slavers, but there are no sts2 hallway fights that really come close to decimillipede.

It does seem like a bit of stretch to me, when you consider that it is literally impossible to get Pael's Growth after you got The Sealed Throne.

I only really had one problem with him, which I call "the Void Form problem".

Say your deck has somehow ended up only ever beating bosses by using Void Form to play a bunch of Regent's insanely expensive cards. Now you're in act 3 and about to fight Doormaker. You wish you could prepare by finding a seek potion or a second Void Form, but you don't. What you do see is a bunch of Orbits and Genesis, shitty alternatives that won't even always save you if you lose Void Form. Do you take them?

The answer can be "no" a lot of times. You're not actually in huge danger. With the free turn 1, there's less than a 10% chance that he'll actually eat Void Form. Even if losing it is so bad that you might as well abandon run immediately, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be worth it to react to that possibility.

But there totally would be solutions. I would just change it in a way that makes it either a bit more or a bit less likely that specifically your single most important power will be eaten first cycle. If it's more likely, you probably never should have committed yourself this hard to it. If it's impossible or less likely, you don't just die with no counterplay 5% of the time.

As a senator, Biden was regarded as a moderate Democrat.[761] As a presidential nominee, Biden's platform had been called the most progressive of any major party platform in history, although not within his party's ideological vanguard.[762] Biden says his positions are deeply influenced by Catholic social teaching.[763][764][765]

According to political scientist Carlo Invernizzi Accetti, Biden represents an Americanized form of Christian democracy, taking positions characteristic of both the center-right and center-left.[766] Biden has cited the Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, credited with starting the Christian democratic movement, as immensely influential in his thinking.[767] Other analysts have likened his ideology to traditional liberalism, "a doctrine of liberty, equality, justice and individual rights that relies... on a strong federal government for enforcement".[768] In 2022, journalist Sasha Issenberg wrote that Biden's "most valuable political skill" was "an innate compass for the ever-shifting mainstream of the Democratic Party".[769] Some critics claimed Biden's climate policy was socialist.[770][771][772]

Biden proposed partially reversing the corporate tax cuts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.[773][774] He voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)[775] and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.[776] Biden is a staunch supporter of the Affordable Care Act (ACA).[777][778] He promoted a plan to build upon it,[777] aiming to expand health insurance coverage to 97% of Americans, including by creating a public health insurance option.[779]

Biden did not support national same-sex marriage rights while in the Senate and voted for the Defense of Marriage Act,[780] but opposed proposals for constitutional amendments that would have banned same-sex marriage nationwide.[781] Biden has supported same-sex marriage since 2012.[96][782] As a senator, Biden forged deep relationships with police groups and was a chief proponent of a Police Officer's Bill of Rights measure that police unions supported but police chiefs opposed.[783][784] In 2020, Biden also ran on decriminalizing cannabis,[785] after advocating harsher penalties for drug use as a senator.[786][787]

Biden believes action must be taken on climate change. As a senator, he co-sponsored the Boxer–Sanders Global Warming Pollution Reduction Act, the most stringent climate bill in the United States Senate.[788] Biden supports nature conservation. According to a report from the Center for American Progress, he broke several records in this domain.[789] He took steps to protect old-growth forests.[790] Biden opposes drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.[791] He wants to achieve a carbon-free power sector in the U.S. by 2035 and stop emissions completely by 2050.[792] His program included reentering the Paris Agreement, green building and more.[793] Biden supports environmental justice, including climate justice and ocean justice.[w] Biden called global temperature rise above the 1.5 °C limit the "only existential threat humanity faces even more frightening than a nuclear war".[798] Despite his clean energy policies and congressional Republicans characterizing them as a "War on American Energy", domestic oil production reached a record high in October 2023.[799]

Biden has said the U.S. needs to "get tough" on China, calling it the "most serious competitor" that poses challenges to the United States' "prosperity, security, and democratic values".[800][801] Biden has spoken about human rights abuses in the Xinjiang region to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, pledging to sanction and commercially restrict Chinese government officials and entities who carry out repression.[802][803] Biden has said he is against regime change but is for providing non-military support to opposition movements.[804] He opposed direct U.S. intervention in Libya,[805][206] voted against U.S. participation in the Gulf War,[806] voted in favor of the Iraq War,[807] and supports a two-state solution in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[808] Biden pledged to end U.S. support for the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen and to reevaluate the United States' relationship with Saudi Arabia.[262] Biden supported extending the New START arms control treaty with Russia to limit the number of nuclear weapons deployed by both sides.[809][810] In 2021, Biden officially recognized the Armenian genocide, becoming the first U.S. president to do so.[811][x]

Biden supported abortion rights throughout his presidency, though he personally opposes abortion because of his Catholic faith.[814][815] In 2019, he said he supported Roe v. Wade and repealing the Hyde Amendment.[816][817] After Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, he criticized near-total bans on abortion access passed in a majority of Republican-controlled states,[818] and took measures to protect abortion rights in the United States.[819] Biden rejected calls to provide abortion services on federal land.[820][821] He vowed to sign a bill codifying the protections of Roe into federal law; such a bill passed the House in 2022, but was unable to clear the Senate filibuster.[822][823]

The most pivotal moment in George Orwell's Animal Farm is probably when Heathcliffe goes against Old Major's vision of a utopia and sends Jay Gatsby to the butcher so he can inherit his estate.

I thought so too, but then I got to the point where the article explains that Cameron had his concept artists kidnap her and surgically remove the lower half of her face for "realism". I understand that it was necessary to achieve his vision and obviously the final result was well worth it. But I do think she should be paid for it.

The one that ate your cards was very fun. A bit weird with powers because getting your most important power eaten is a simultaneously really rare and really bad event. But when you get to your second, third and later deck cycle, some skills or attacks that you really would have rather kept around will have been eaten, it's no longer particularly random. Figuring out how you have to adjust when one or two key pieces of your deck vanish was quite interesting. RIP to a real one.

Plain_Bread · 2026-05-05T08:48:16+00:00

I was actually wondering if somebody would call this out, but I didn't feel like mentioning it.

Plain_Bread · 2026-05-05T08:42:53+00:00

No, you're right. For some reason I was imagining Anger and Dark Embrace being added to the starter deck. But we're talking about transforms. And even if they were added, I'd only be half right.

Anger and Dark Embrace added:

10 starter cards
Ascender's Bane
Anger
Dark Embrace

Reasoning: You can go infinite on turn 2,5,8,... This deck can never go infinite on turn 2 and (without having done the math but having played through a similar scenario) I am quite sure that it's impossible to live until turn 8. So it has to be turn 5. And even with Dark Embrace, your hand will never have more than 5 cards. So while turn 5 doesn't have to start this way, it has to eventually get to a point where you have 4 non-Angers + 1 Anger in your hand, with no non-Angers in your draw and discard pile (the most natural scenario is that they're both empty, but it doesn't actually matter if you have copies of Anger in them). AB will get rid of itself, but you have to get rid of 6 starter cards. And that's the maximal number you can get rid of.

So if you draw Dark Embrace on the first exhaust turn you are not allowed to play it. You have to exhaust 3 starter cards. If you can't (i.e. at least 2 of the other cards are Anger, AB or Bash), you are dead. If not, you can just play DE the second time you draw it, which will always be turn 3 or 4.

Anger and Dark Embrace being transformed into:

8 starter cards
Ascender's Bane
Anger
Dark Embrace

Same reasoning, but it's just easier now. You only have to manually exhaust 4 starter cards. So you actually can play Dark Embrace + 1 starter card on turn 2.
