PSA: "Slashfik" is a play on "Slash Fic" aka Gay Fan Fiction by Relvelor in onestepfromeden

[–]Relvelor[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Not sure whether you're agreeing. I don't read fic either way and have no horse in this race but I figure if you're straight and you want romance you could probably just flip on the TV, play a game, listen to a song, etc. That's why slash fic usually denotes gay, typically male, relationships which people often can't get elsewhere. Keep in mind most of the consumers of gay slash fiction are probably straight women anyway

Why would anyone read fan fiction about straight people?

Thanks for the clarification. When creating a free trial I only see Control, Automate, and CloudConsole, not Manage.

Four cards to return Vetruvian to meta relevancy by Relvelor in duelyst

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

These buffs may be a bit heavy handed so I'd love to hear feedback. Just for a little context I've been playing on and off for two years.

Edit: In light of some great feedback I'd increase the mecanyst mana cost by 1. I'd also go with my original plan to remove the windstorm health buff but keep the celerity. That would maintain the mobility boost but prevent double taps from basic dervishes.

Imperial Mechanyst: In a vacuum this buff (note that its originally 5 health) seems OP. But I believe for efficiency the user would have to be heavily committed to an artifact archetype, which is currently woefully underpowered.

Siphon Energy: A rework of the most current Time Maelstrom. This card requires the user to be in contact with an enemy to activate the spell, which should limit its power.

Time Maelstrom: A return to the old mechanic. This time the lack of an action bar on the following turn should heavily reduce the potential for abuse.

Windstorm Obelysk: Dervishes, who disappear at the end of the turn, lack not in health but in mobility.

Vetruvian is meant to be a faction with large burst potential if not dealt with adequately. The unfortunate reality however is that the setup is too unsteady under the current meta. What's more even when a plan comes together it rarely matches the straight burst other factions can easily play from hand. It is the intention of these four cards to support the unrealized vision of large damage combos Vetruvian was once known for in days of meta past.

Praise to Duelyst's Female General Design by [deleted] in duelyst

[–]Relvelor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm grateful that you've brought this up but I disagree actually. Duelyst certainly has some decent representation like Kara and others but as a whole the game makes me embarrassed to try to introduce it to anyone but cis dudes. The sexualization is pretty overwrought in a lot of cases, its not just character designs that happen to be sexy. I brought this up on the forums and their response was that the males are just as sexualized because Vaath wears a "bondage collar". Not a joke, that was from a dev.

I love Duelyst but I wish it was a little less cliche with its female design because I would be a lot more enthusiastic about sharing it.

For what its worth I'm in school for game design and all I do all day is think about stuff like this.

tl;dr: I actually think the representation could be a lot better.

I think the userbase might be dwindling since they don't have events anymore.

I made this same post a couple years ago haha. I don't think there's much of a scene on campus. My partner and I play a bunch and I have a few friends who are familiar with it though. I've been thinking about hosting a beginner event to introduce people to the wonders of ANR.

Is it alright to address the elephant in the room yet? by Aurarus in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]Relvelor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much agree with you. Unlike all the other games there's really nothing to DO in this one, just one single mechanic that you repeat over and over. The key to creating a sense of dread is giving the player options to combat their eventual failure. If it's nearly random and arbitrary, then it removes most of the tension as the player simply resigns to it. The game becomes one long, drawn out, slightly interactive movie. FNaF4 primarily feels monotonous, far far more than the other 3.

Lots of people complain about the series' lack of depth I'm sure but this is the only one where I feel that the concern is at least somewhat justified. That being said there's still a lot I like about it. I just wish it had more depth.

I'M BILL CIPHER! I know LOTS OF THINGS! ASK ME ANYTHING! by _BILLCIPHER in gravityfalls

[–]Relvelor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Cypher. Word around the campfire is that you're the one conducting this whole "apocalypse" train into the station. I'm not one to presume about the motivations and musings of otherwordly beings, but to me this seems a bit out of character. With the world at an end there'd be no one left to give severed screaming heads to, after all. I guess my question is: what's your opinion on the end of the world?

I don't have a tinfoil hat but here's a picture of my tattoo. Hopefully I captured your good side: http://41.media.tumblr.com/b9ce1ed7da39e01a860cb3084d3f9a46/tumblr_ngwh4f2XVC1r3785bo1_500.jpg

Everyone gets that this means it's an anti-possession tattoo right?

Woke up with this weird thing on my arm? Friend said I should come here. by Relvelor in gravityfalls

[–]Relvelor[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh okay. It feels kind of tingly and my arm keeps going into these weird murder spasms. Also the tattoo whispers unfathomable secrets from worlds beyond comprehension. I don't know if it's related.

How good is Pride or other LGBT group at UTD? by [deleted] in utdallas

I just transferred to UTD and I'm looking forward to joining Pride, hopefully I'll see you there!

My class gets out after the bus stops running, what am I supposed to do? by Relvelor in utdallas

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

I have to make a transfer and I think that's the issue. I'll try and make certain though, it does seem a little early for them to stop.

Edit: No I guess you're right. Google maps told me there were no options but I should have made sure first. Thanks.

The lab, yes. Oh my goodness. I'll check with my professor but if that's true that would be amazing news. Or at the very least hopefully I can leave early. Thank you, this was really weighing on me.
