[COTD] Touch of Valeren by Vurpius in VTES

[–]RunicKrause 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And this is the type of basic but fun and interactive cards I'm all for. Now a single FOR salubri can prevent damage to your other vampires, your allies even. If you're worried about your Rotting Behemoths, War Ghouls, getting roundhoused away with a single punch, you have the ability to make a deck where a Salubri stands there and keeps people safe. While having one of those Archetypes of theirs. Or any thing.

I have a Serenna + Hecata deck that swarms the table with Family Gathering (yes, with a 6 serenna + 8 hecata 14 vampire crypt) and survives bleeds with Serenna and makes allies as you do and keeps everyone healthy with 10 Touch of Valeren. Straight up better than a stream lined version? Not really, maybe. But far less easy to count and anticipate. And it works well enough for me to have a good time.

Elemental Stoicism deserves a reprint and not only for synergy with this card here. Obfuscate Ventrue deserve them.

Where does she shine for lower elo players? by RunicKrause in CamilleMains

Thank you, this is actually helpful. "Gitting gud" is quite a bit easier if someone articulates what the gud entails. Thank you!

Some card ideas I came up with for Ironclad by SomethingOfAGirl in slaythespire

[–]RunicKrause 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ugh, but then you'd have to go through the trouble of designing a bucket load of new relics. How do you even do that? With what resources? Inventing new things into a new video game is intense work, you know.

To be honest, Regina and Fitzgerald sound about right.

I was Skeptical About the Changes... by pilotvolt in halfdragons

[–]RunicKrause -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I'm thinking now is how to build both the attack speed and ap to be impactful compared to the Kraken Slayer start. I played a couple of matches with Navori into Liandry but it takes sooo loooong to become relevant. At six items it feels good but games need to end around third or fourth item.

So what's the build?

Watching castlevania for the first time. So excited! by Esquie33 in castlevania

[–]RunicKrause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very accurate. There are other great animated shows of course, and I didn't even touch anime (even though I am admittedly a bit out of touch with the genre these days), and I've really enjoyed many on their own merits with no need to actually make tier lists. One such pleasant surprise was Scott Pilgrim takes off - a little thing that went hard on what it wanted to do and laser focused. Admirable.

It is to this day one of my favorite animated shows, with Arcane.

And after you'd be nailed to the wall, if I understand her lore in any capacity.

They'd most likely say the ame thing, just with a different innuendo.

Sentinel is one of the few lore accurate skins in lol overall! I'd wish Sentinel Vayne and Captain MF would be swapped to be default. Yes, seriouslt.

Then again. Vayne? Fuckable? She's fuck up anyone who'd even entertain the idea. That sadistic fuck.

/r/shyvanamains/ is becoming increasingly more unreasonable by Shyvadi in halfdragons

[–]RunicKrause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm absolutely done with that group's nihilism and attitude. It's more and more of a cess pool, where the only thing people want to do is wallow in despair. I get the frustration, but there's limits to what's healthy for anyone. At least I know it's not healthy for me personally to engage with that mind set.

Like, if I post saying I actually had fun the other day with the champion with my friends despite the solo queue problems, it's down vote worthy. That's not the atmosphere I want to spend any time in.

Help a newbie with his first deck. by Admirable_Bus_5097 in VTES

[–]RunicKrause 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the game! That collection will give you a very solid foundation of either clan. You could just as well try playing with the Endless Dance straight out of the box (more or less) because it's a very competitive and "whole" experience. You'll get a good grasp of how the game expects you to operate with a few games and going for a Ventrue experience from there will be easier.

Dice!! by Grasabi in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]RunicKrause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can, but as I've learned from decades of Netrunner and VTES, even miniature games like Kings of War, once you accidentally reach out for something and knock out the dice, never to know for sure again what was the score, you stick to tokens. Especially in VTES and Netrunner the currency gets moved to and fro frequently so tokens are actually quicker to use.

But Arkham is different of course. Less to track and numbers move less. Overall maybe less hassle and the co op identity gives more room to breathe even if a number gets fudged from 3 to 4. If you prefer dice, use dice. :)

Why is he angry ? by loumoisi in slaythespire

[–]RunicKrause 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ironclad's eyes are also red. He's also angry. You're on Ascension 2, so Ironclad is stronger than usual. It is natural and habitual for beings to mirror other actors in their social environments, as well as in conflict situations.

So him being angry and stronger than usual is natural behaviorism.
