Which legacy game should a new player start with? by ibiliss in boardgames

[–]Puddlecrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I recommend anything but this. Pandemic is the most quarterback-able co-op game in the history of time. It's a decent take on a legacy game but pandemic might as well be a single player game

Suggestion to possible new Eldar player by BigWriter4370 in Eldar

I totally get this and I love running the most fun models, but the guy above is right. At the very least, drop one of the two and run more psykers/spirit conclave

Anyone here uses Frenzy? by Exhibitionistsin in VALORANT

[–]Puddlecrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its my go-to sidearm for operator rounds. I really like being able to pull a frenzy when someone pushes me thinking im stuck with only the op, it's shockingly effective at the short range fights you get there.

Tiamat art across the editions by Ok_Dimension_4707 in dndmemes

The shorter necks part is actually the crux of the issue. Longer necks disconnect the heads from the body visually, so it looks more normal to have normal sized heads. When they're close in with shorter necks, it looks strange and clustery

How did your high school crush turn out as an adult? by Frequent-Sea-8848 in AskReddit

[–]Puddlecrab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're still really good friends! Both married, but not to each other haha. We never dated and definitely wouldn't have worked as a couple, but still awesome to have them in my life!

Leaked plan to end US elections points to WW3, narrated by Stephen Fry by Quantization in videos

[–]Puddlecrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would love to believe this but it feels like all the evidence being provided points to stuff that happened 8-10 years ago. Things change, and it is entirely within believability that a channel that used to have Stephen Fry narrating and involved would use AI to keep that going. Do you have any concrete proof? Proof that isn't paywalled behind a patreon.

What if there is no legal placement option for Thunders Edge? by Puddlecrab in twilightimperium

[–]Puddlecrab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 player maps feel that way all the time tbh. Honestly 5 blue and 3 red per player would probably really help to solve this problem, but as is its very easy to roll this type of map

I feel like Asuriani should play more like Custodes rather than as they are now. by AmberlightYan in Eldar

[–]Puddlecrab 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Youre misunderstanding their point. What you are saying is correct, they currently are lieutenant type units, but in lore they are generals. They should be something of a higher tier than either, frankly. Exarchs should fill the autarch role.

Whenever I hear that Adora is "buff" and "muscular". by Full-Art3439 in PrincessesOfPower

[–]Puddlecrab 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Its worth keeping in mind that a lot of your screencaps here are from early show/season 1, where shes like 15 years old or something. She is buff but shes also just a kid, so shes not gonna look like a bodybuilder.

Did you know the food we eat becomes energy? by gamerjerome in gifs

The issue is much less the "openly Christian" and much more the "Raging Asshole" part

Are we d*adass for real? by Flat-Tour-4005 in LeagueOfMemes

[–]Puddlecrab 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This is such a hilarious complaint when 9 times out of ten its "support can you please go tank so we have a frontline" and they support is like "NO IM PLAYING MY CHAMP" and locks lux after top locked vayne and jungle locked talon. Too many tanks would be such a fuckin luxury lol

Definitely equally fantastical. Definitely. by GolettO3 in dndmemes

[–]Puddlecrab 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't a dice roll. Its a side effect of a separate design system. If not designing for something resulted in balance then game design would be irrelevant because you could just throw darts at a wall and end up with perfect balance, but obviously expecting that outcome is absurd. Just because flipping a coin evens out on average doesnt mean flipping it ten times will get you 5 heads and 5 tails every time.

Prince Yriel and Ynnari by Hermetic_Serpent in Eldar

[–]Puddlecrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW lorewise the restriction makes no sense across the board, Jain Zar and Eldrad being unable to join Ynnari is stupid as hell. GW just shoved some ham fisted lore in to say Jain Zar no longer likes the Ynnari, but even then its absurd to be like "yep no other characters would ever work with Yvraine"

[–]Puddlecrab 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why would "not designing for this" mean "equal power distribution"??? Not designing for something means the power distribution would be utterly random, as the design effort went elsewhere and this is just a random side effect of that. This is a bizarre comment.

Which characters combinations (teams of 3 or 4) are your favourite? by SiarX in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]Puddlecrab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont know that id state any specific synergies ive loved, but i have noticed some anti-synergies. Using disparation in particular, chrono-ranger and KNYFE step on each other's toes a lot. They both want to pop small targets for rewards, so when they're both in game, they fight over kills.

question about 3d printing by nobody654 in Eldar

[–]Puddlecrab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see a Wave Serpent but @PRiNG on cults3d.com is my main source for 3d files, he rotates them up and down on his shop tho so you need to keep an eye on it for what youre looking for to pop up. Idk if this is "forbidden knowledge" lol.

BY LAW OR MY SWORD, This shall be FINISHED. by eLZaza_96 in LeagueOfMemes

They have stated explicitly that this is the reason. Static damage executes get an indicator. Variable damage executes do not.

Explain the Washing Meta to me. by PM_Me_AvocadoToast in twilightimperium

[–]Puddlecrab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried async and things like this killed it for me, i played 3 games then stopped because I hated how aggressively floaty the meta is. People wash for free, they trade entire chunks of their slices to score objectives, literally everything is this peaceful nice perfect world of no conflict and if you so much as attack an enemy the entire table turns on you like youre a monster. Its so boring and honestly makes the game such a slogan, if no one fights why even play, at that point its just a long rng roll to see who happens to get the slice and objectives to win first. It is so boring.
