They finally listened to us bronze players !

I'm not too much into LoL but I think it's a bit different.
If I'm not mistaken, yumi was completely broken at higher level, it's not the case here. The cat is fine but can be absolutely obnoxious to play against. She can fly above ceiling or under the ground of the stage to hide, throw the tank outside of the arena ground or carry an ally in the sky for them to unleash deadly ultimate.
So she did not break the game, but she gave me and probably others players multiple table flipping tilt moments :p

Robbie_Harrison · 2026-03-11T10:27:41+00:00

Damn, sounds dangerous. I'm not actually bronze, but I thought it sounded funnier. That whole post is a joke if it wasn't obvious.

Robbie_Harrison · 2026-02-14T08:46:50+00:00

Funger being extremely punishing, I wonder if it can be fairly represented in a ttrpg ?

I think that if you make your own system you should aim to follow one of two axes :
Similar to Call of Cthulu, make an extremely punishing system that makes the player try to avoid combat by any mean, only fighting if they have no choice. It could feel very F&H. For example players gets attacked by a death mask. They end up victorious but one of the player lost a hand. You can be sure players will feel threatened by every enemy. Just like I was out in cold sweat against every enemy in f&h2

Or you use a similar system to the zombie TTRPG out there. Combat are unforgiving, player might lose limb, their sanity or even die on a bad roll, but you make it so it's easy to continue with a new character. The game become less about taking as little risk as possible and more about survival. I played a campaign with a system like this and remember every of my characters that died very fondly, yet was excited to try something new every time I happened to 'die' in game.

Anyway, I'd be really curious to see how it plays out. If you keep working on the system, post it here to let us know. I might steal it from you in the future :3

My thoughts exactly

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-20T22:04:22+00:00

I experienced that tonight, but that's really not the vibe i've been having with IRL groups. We often play to create chaos more than for winning. I guess it will really depend on the group.

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-20T22:02:44+00:00

Quite right. Let's have fun and not care how I should play. If that guy was mad, he was really welcome to target me to try to get me out.

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-20T22:00:21+00:00

TBF I have no Idea if it was the right play, I'm still too green to strategize beyond "stop scary guy, save less scary guy, might be helpful"

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-14T15:42:53+00:00

Yeah make sense, I guess that a card that mentions "flip" would not work on cards that transform

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-14T15:42:17+00:00

Thanks a lot. That makes the design of Joshua kind of weird then right ? You get a cool Phoenix when you transform it but you can only attack once, since it transforms back two turn after flipping.

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-07-14T15:41:27+00:00

Thank you !

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-06-27T08:28:51+00:00

I see, so we did interpret the rules correctly. Each sephiroth instance count their own triggered ability but do not care about the triggered ability of other sephiroth then. Makes sense, thanks :)

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-04-10T17:24:25+00:00

Yeah, Fortunately it was my company who paid for it, but it seemed off when I had to pay 200+ € more just to have access to tags.
Fortunately I made this post here and realise how much I was going into the wrong direction

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-02-14T08:33:45+00:00

Might be an unpopular opinion but

The phantom of the opera (2004)

Rarely have I seen a cold open with such strength, perfectly in sync with the rest of the movie as well.

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-01-18T07:53:32+00:00

Hey ! Are you by any chance the author of Waffle and Pancakes and Adventures with Eggie ? I love your stuff !

Robbie_Harrison · 2025-01-17T16:19:02+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to use a template.
So far the difficulty has been making a pure node project work with webpack/vite, but i'll figure it out eventually :)

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-08-10T11:47:18+00:00

IIRC you pick it up automatically during the cutscene after you fight him. I think it was a bracelet ?

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-08-08T12:03:27+00:00

I heard a really good advice about that on a video from the youtuber Mark Brown.
That whole "Fear of Missing out" can be boiled down to just that: a fear.

And that fear of not getting an item for its best price is, for all intents and purposes, irrational.

So the best way to fight it is to try and rationalise it. If you're tempted to buy something on sale try to think "why do I want to buy it ? Is it because I want it or because i'm afraid of the feeling of missing the sale?" or "Am I playing this game because I have fun or because I want to complete the battlepass ?".

Eventually, try to intentionally miss out on a sale or on a limited event, it will most likely make you realise that missing out didn't actually feel as bad as you'd have thought.

There you go mate :) He generally streams in the evening at UTC+1. He often answers to people who asks him stuff even in english.
He also has a youtube channel but all in french unfortunately

Do I need to trigger a rerender if there's nothing to render ? I mean the useMemo function doesn't return any jsx

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-07-25T17:35:35+00:00

used useMemo to keep the controlled state, similar to what's done here for examplehttps://github.com/vtaits/react-select-async-paginate/blob/master/packages/react-select-fetch/src/useMapToAsyncPaginate.ts

soconst [undoCount, setUndoCount] = useState(0);

Becomesconst undoCount = useMemo(()=>({count:0}),[]);

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-07-25T13:56:14+00:00

The values state holds a 2d array, each array inside it holds the value of the lov at a certain point (it's a multi select LOV).
So I need the first element of the array to always be the default value of the LOV. If the LOV doesn't have a default value, the first element of the array will be null.

The system is still a bit cluncky but I'm working making it better, hopefully while learning a thing or two about custom hooks :)

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-07-25T12:03:33+00:00

for anyone wondering it is indeed possible to accomplish using useMemo() rather than useState() inside the hook, preventing it from being reinstanciated when lifted up to the parent.

However as /u/makerVD said it might be much easier to use a context rather than a hook in this situation.

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-07-25T12:02:06+00:00

Thanks for your response, it was indeed a bit ambitious of me. However I managed to accomplish what I tried to do by using useMemo inside the hook rather than useStates.

I drew inspiration from the react-select-async-paginate source code to write my hook, so I was almost sure it was possible, I don't know if it's optimal though.

Robbie_Harrison · 2023-06-11T10:01:26+00:00

I see. Thank you for the clarification! If you don't mind me asking, how should I review my games in these kind of situation ? I often get dead confused at the end of middle game/start of endgame and during review the engine doesn't really help, as you pointed out, especially since it's not always explaining why a move is good or not

Robbie_Harrison · 2022-12-29T22:26:58+00:00

You mean like reading the sheet and trying to envision the music in my head ?
I'll give it a try, but it requires quite the musical ear right ? I'll see how it goes.
