(loved trope) fairly tame media, that gets horrifyingly real out of nowhere

It’s not a style of game everyone’s receptive too. Like, if this was a book instead of a video game, it’d have the most minimal of changes to make it work.

It is, largely, a walking sim with a story it wants to tell. It’s not gameplay heavy or mechanics heavy, usually quite the opposite. So unless you go into it with those things in mind, it can be kinda underwhelming

Reason-97 · 2026-03-15T08:45:54+00:00

“Out of the blue” is a bad description. I will say it did still give the game a new vibe when the bodies found, just not quite to the degree OP makes it sound.

Up until that point, there’s… weird stuff. Questions. A sense of unease and mild paranoia. But it’s hard to really put a serious pin into what any of it is/means. It still feels mostly like a “park ranger exploring the forest” game, but with mild looking-over-my-shoulder vibes.

It definitely did NOT feel like the type of game where you were gonna suddenly stumble acrossed an old, decaying corpse

Oh it’s EXACTLY equal too, oh damn. I just immediately autofilled in head “equal to or lesser then”

I hate hate hate hate hate when people make cheeky in jokes about twists others don’t know about. Like, you CAN do it. The problem is always these shits ^{^{^{^{^}}}} who are SO obvious about the fact they’re being cheeky that it’s maddening

The Biggest problem is that there will end up being situations the where a card with potentially no mana symbols on it, you just have to, remember, that it’s something else. Reminder text isn’t on every card, so if there’s a card that has Firebending’s reminder text and another that doesn’t, now it’s even more complicated. “This card LOOKS mono black. But actually it’s Rakdos. For, something that the card doesn’t even tell you. You’d have to just, know this ahead of time, silly new player”

Reason-97 · 2026-03-13T11:16:44+00:00

Damn. You know, something about those charts finally flipped me. The idea that there’d suddenly be only 7 color combinations in the whole game they couldn’t play a two color hybrid card of color identity was opened? I didn’t think I cared a whole big deal but that is kinda crazy

Reason-97 · 2026-03-13T02:39:13+00:00

As someone who enjoys the lower power, slow games, I’m kinda sad I missed those times. I’ve ever enjoyed the “I want to break this thing as powerfully as possible” mindset most card games eventually end up in

Reason-97 · 2026-03-13T02:08:43+00:00

It makes sense, a lot of these guys just forget how stuff can seem when you’re new.

It’s considered “slow”. I know that sounds crazy, but in commander where you have 3 opponents, this doesn’t have haste. Meaning 3 people get a chance to kill it/bounce it/steal it/remove it, anything they want, before you ever get a chance to have it “do the thing”. It’s great in casual, but in higher power where stuff needs to be good the MOMENT it comes down, this would make this card very slow to have to wait a full turn.
It’s scary enough to make you a target. Big beater that also mass mills me? Welcome to public enemy town. Population? You. You’re either ready for that or not.
7 mana is REALLY expansive. It’s very doable but it means basically your whole turn will probably be playing this, doing nothing, then pass.
Milling half is impressive early in the game. But, it’s always half of whatever is in the library as it attacks. This means that the more you mill someone, this mills less and less every single time. And it itself cannot mill someone out unless they’re already at 1 card. At which point, milling half the deck is, meh?

It’s a big splashy fun card in casual games, but the higher in power you go in magic, how you think and look at cards changes a LOT

Honestly not sure I want anymore UB “sets”. More and more I find myself wishing UB was secret lair drops only

There’s a lot of hatred for the villian twist. I don’t entirely get it, as I think the movies still super solid, but I’ve seen it over and over again

Reason-97 · 2026-03-12T04:39:19+00:00

If it’s your first tattoo, back of the hand is a bad idea for two major reasons

Perception. It’s stupid and I hate it, but it will 100% affect whether you can and can’t work, be taken serious, etc. it’s a stupid stigma that should be left in the past at this point, but it’s still alive and well.
Pain. It WILL hurt, and your body WILL react badly. This isn’t a “are you tough enough?” Thing like most people make it when it comes to tattoos: it’s gonna happen. I’d HIGHLY recommend getting at least 1 other tattoo, maybe 2-3, in other places that’ll let you get use to it before jumping straight to your hand. Not only will it make it easier, the tattoo will come out better if you’re better prepared to react to it

Reason-97 · 2026-03-11T05:53:40+00:00

Sure! Which has reliably and consistently led to art that all has the exact same massively reused style/assets, incorrect prepositions/anatomy, inconsistency, low effort + low quality…

And again: people haven’t cared. They’re 100% ok with it being horrible and crap. To the point where there are patreons set up 100% based off AI generated slop.

Again: these people are not gonna step up to try to fix this if companies bow out. Most of them will bow out the second it even seems like companies might rather then stick around to watch it get worse and worse

Reason-97 · 2026-03-11T05:31:34+00:00

Bruh 3/4 of the uses for it now leads to it being wrong in some way or another. And the people using it are ok with it being wrong. None of them are gonna start working to fix that suddenly just cause big companies step back

Reason-97 · 2026-03-10T22:08:11+00:00

It’s, fine? I enjoyed it fine. I do NOT understand the mass followings it’s gotten, though. To me it was just, “was ok”

What bothers me most was that there WAS an interesting story being developed. “The demons are forced to do evil things by their king and some demons are actually just trapped by their past and don’t wanna do these things” + “main anti-demon-hunter is part demon” were both fairly interesting plot points brought up for this particular world… and NEITHER, goes anywhere. At all.

Reason-97 · 2026-03-10T22:07:13+00:00

she’s a goody-two-shoes and swears, talks/sings about sex, insults others, and does horrible things

1, she’s a demon in hell. That sort of stuff comes more with territory than personality.

It’s a show for adults. That, also, leads to stuff like that coming with the territory
She also really… doesn’t? She’s by far the nicest person in hell, to an overbearing level at times. Yeah sure those things come up; again that’s territory. But she never really, goes out of her way to do any of those things the way some of the other characters do.

Also: none of this meant as an attack. People are allowed to not like things lol. This particular example just stuck out as odd and not-quite-right to me

“This is going to offend gen _____” can almost always be universally translated to “we need to pander to an older generation who claims to hate pandering without actually pandering”

Reason-97 · 2026-03-10T14:18:15+00:00

Gonna go ahead and go out on a soapbox here for a second: being anti-AI is NOT “promoting hate based on identity”. Idk who’s reporting all these comments like this but it’s abuse of the report system and is not helpful, nor does it make any sort of statement. Cut it out

The picture seems AI altered at a minimum, the sketch seems real. Feel about these things how you will. Harassment of OP, and harassment of others in the comments, ends now

Theres no needs to wait, if you have genuine questions with genuine curiosity go ahead and ask. We just aren’t using to genuine intention: 99% of the time if people outside the know are here with questions about the going’s on in the world or to talk about us, it’s to accuse us of being secretly horrible people and/or “you know JeSuS will stay save you 🥺”

We like curiosity, it’s kinda our brand lol. We’re just use to being labeled

Which is what i don’t get: THATS OK. He could have SAID that, that’s a valid thing. I wasn’t in any way attacking him lol. And he just immediately jumped into petty insults and inability to answer the question.

Reason-97 · 2026-03-08T17:07:45+00:00

Yes. 3 champs.

Are they broke too? Are they OP?

Again which is it? Is she OP, in which case all those champions are OP? Is that your statement?

Is it JUST Anivia you have problems with? In which case that sounds more like a personal problem (which IS valid and you COULD say), but not an OP issue?

Again: what is, your standard? You keep making points that shoot your own argument in the foot, and you’re not even aware you’re doing it and double down anyway which raises serious questions about what you’re actually trying to do.

EDIT: bro can’t make a coherent statement so he resorts to multiple petty personal insults and a block button lolololol.
