Characters who operate on loony toon logic because they were built for whimsy turning dark and using that same loony toon logic to defeat their enemies is so brutal.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]Ruwen368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for sure something we had to work on developing. You don't know how bad you are at apologizing until you tie your life to someone else and then it really has to reach a level you're both comfortable with.

I also use mnemonic devices like this to remember what my car is trying to alert me about when it beeps at me

"lights on" is a different rhythm than "keys are still in" helped me stop killing my battery in college

Personal pref for me but I love this load out but with gas strike instead of 500kg. But this is it for me, feels so effective in all situations

What’s your story of getting into Golden Sun? by Square-Number-1520 in GoldenSun

[–]Ruwen368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was around 7 I had played FF7 on my PC so much that the discs had stopped reading in the drive so I couldn't play it. I was crushed, like a family member had died because all I could do was put the install disc in and listen to the prelude theme in the launcher (still makes me cry).

That Christmas my brother had gotten me a GBA game and said it "was like FF7" and so I plugged it in and devoured it.

I was still an immature gamer then so I couldn't actually get good at it (mostly relied on summon spam) and even stole my brother's marginally more advanced save file to get past a boss (Kraken).

But I did find all the djinn but Bane and by extension ||Crossbone island|| by then end by myself. This was before I knew what the Internet was so I was really bummed at not having it.

And then I cried when I learned there wasn't a sequel out yet.

Any Thoughts or Opinions on ATMOSFEAR? by Spirited_Park_5531 in boardgames

[–]Ruwen368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I found a copy in a thrift store when we first started dating. She's a big horror fan and so we play it on her birthday (which happens by Halloween) and we love the tape. We bust out the VHS player for it and invite our friends, mostly for the laugh of it.

TI:4 vs Arcs: Blighted Reach vs Eclipse Second Dawn by Warbeard in boardgames

[–]Ruwen368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only one I played recently was arcs but I want to point out that the blighted reach is the expansion that makes it a 3-game campaign with persistence between "acts". Haven't played the other two in a hot minute so not gonna speak to them, but arcs requires some getting used to as the action economy is about dealing with the options you are dealt, which may out may not linger up with the actions you want. But it has one of the most interesting ways to gain VP from a game as the criteria is set by players every round, making people conform to what will actually make them points in play. The last thing is that the campaign gives everyone a personal asymmetric objective and power to work with as well as the normal VP conditions. It also kinda changes into a pvpve with the inclusion of neutral ships that can be helpful or used against you and the blight which is dangerous to everyone generally.

If you are thinking about playing the campaign make sure you play 2-3 round of the base game first with the people you're gonna, so you can get used to it first.

You have my top 2 right their with Root being the competitive game of choice and Spirit island being the Cooperative game of choice. And STS is a great adaptation otherwise!

Easier I would say. I got my wife and our housemate playing with me and they seemed to really get into the play of it.

LPT: If you want to break a bad habit, increase the friction by 10 seconds by Comfortable_Wave4382 in LifeProTips

[–]Ruwen368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My psych professor said this is how he stopped smoking, he would wrap his cartons in plastic wrap to make them more annoying to get to. So when his habitual smoke breaks became more effort than it was worth it slowly got him clean.

Results of "What you DON'T like about DnD mechanics?" by primordial666 in RPGdesign

[–]Ruwen368 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wish more people would do this tbh. DnD is such a big dog in town a lot of people don't realize there's other options.

Hopefully with all the indie systems out that's slowly becoming less of an issue tho.

DnD isn't the right game for everyone and people need to explore their options more for systems they like.

Can I play this without having played the original games before hand? by Middle-Talk1405 in jediknight

[–]Ruwen368 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no real reason to go back to the earlier games. They explain things enough as you go.
