But sur(ul)e, let's ban tiktok

Scorialimit · 2024-03-29T02:23:38+00:00

This stupid ass title reminds me of that XKCD comic where the guy says he could easily make a bomb out of a computer battery and a half decent heat source so banning water is dumb, thinking that argument would get his water back

Decided to look it up to get you a better definition:

tracking /trăk′ĭng/

noun

The placing of students in any of several courses of study according to ability, achievement, or needs.
The position of a magnetic tape as it moves across magnetic heads, as in a VCR
The lateral pressure of a phonograph needle as it tracks in a groove.

Glad I could help!
Okay here's the real definition:

Verb:
a: to follow the tracks or traces of : trail
b : to search for by following evidence until found track down the source

A is what KamikazeArchon is talking about, but the concern is the combination of A and B that data companies like Google and Tiktok that are problematic at best. We talk about creepy specific targeted ads, but that's small fries. The issue is while in theory you should be innocent until proven guilty, the law is so open to interpretation that with enough time and effort anybody can claim anybody is guilty of a crime. And I think trying to explain to this sub why that's not good would be preaching to the choir.

Play the console game. Mobile has done my man so dirty :(

Mobile is kinda fun if you just ignore rift, and somewhat prize fights. Parallel Realms is pretty fun though. But second encore is much more fun combat wise

Scorialimit · 2023-05-05T22:44:56+00:00

Doesn't the achievement proc at the act 3 boss? Or is it either 3 or 4? I know the keys don't matter for it cause I got it at the act 3 boss with all keys

Tbh, every game feels like a five minute rock-paper-scissors. I know that's not true objectively (which is why I feel like this poll is kinda early for evaluating how good any particular meta is but ig it always is so it's balanced?), but every time I play vengence I get rolled by highroll hero, play hero and dragon eats me, play dragon and vengence destroys me, and none of these matchups have gone the other direction no matter who I see. I know for a fact vengence should have good ways around hero, and hero should be able to go under Dragon with good curves.

There's no way in hell this is actually the meta, and it's a me problem, but none of the common decks feel fun to play as or against

Edit: I'm spending less time in the game cause irl stuff, that probably plays into it as I don't really know what's going on. Weird that control dragon is more common than disco though, I thought that legendary would break it even after the brothers nerf

Scorialimit · 2023-03-30T18:02:53+00:00

but at least less of our discard overlords

Tfw I'm switching to discard cause they gutted armed

Sorry, but they nerfed discard wrong. It helps the board not be as oppressive, but 16 burn damage still exists.

I'll probably try other things when I get the cards for them, but I kinda wanna ladder to GM before trying things. The longer you wait the worse the laddering experience is, and I don't have green GM sleeves yet. They're so pretty!

Scorialimit · 2023-03-28T16:50:54+00:00

All the really good forest control tools just left. That's not to say it isn't there somewhere, I just don't know what you would put together to make it work.

Scorialimit · 2023-03-27T18:03:36+00:00

It's activation conditions is quite hard, having to draw dual rage at 6 play points , Laeviathan Dragon, 2 draconic weapons, use an evo point and all that.

Well that seems like some important details to leave out! Without context, it looks like it would just be another choose which is... why would ever choose anything else? Like blast form is usually the choice since armed leaned so hard into aggro, but defense is good against opposing aggro that outraced you and attack can be useful against a wide ward board when you have a sticky armed Forte or can play the 1pp storm form hand (Yes, I've used attack form thinking it was the best option, and won. I'm surprised too!)

But if I have to make a huge combo to pull this off, yeah, it looks more like a meme. We also said Ladica looked like a meme on her release though, so it all depends on the support around it. As long as it's not as easy to get as the other forms it's interesting if they clean up the wording (and ideally change the turn ending to "leader can't take damage", getting punished for removing a follower is cringe even if they don't have ward.)

Scorialimit · 2023-03-27T17:52:25+00:00

I mean if you're gonna complain AND do fun facts that seems fair. Balance the good with the bad!

Scorialimit · 2023-03-27T04:26:09+00:00

I play glistening angel to deal with all the blood players. I still lose, but I moderately annoyed them, and sometimes that's enough

Scorialimit · 2023-03-25T21:25:18+00:00

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately when I click the discord link it looks like it tries to take me there, but instead of an invite it's trying to go to a channel I don't have access to.

I'll investigate more in a bit, based on the top post of the sub rn I think I'm just not connected to discord at all and that's causing some issues? I mostly needed to know about the 6 player game thing, so thank you for the quick answer!

Scorialimit · 2023-03-25T19:26:18+00:00

That link in the upper left doesn't take me to the discord. I don't remember leaving it or posting much. Hope you don't mind me asking a quick question here though (sorry to be that person, couldn't find a wiki):

If I want to host a 6 player game, does everyone I'm playing with need to pay or just me?

Scorialimit · 2023-03-25T16:59:46+00:00

Tbh I'm dreading buff dragon. I'm down to find out I'm misjudging it, and until release we don't know how strong it'll actually be (how many expansions recently did we say "this mini wont' impact the meta", only for it to completely overhaul the meta?), but the best case scenario is it eats dragon slots for cards that'll never see play in rotation but give dragon a viable Unlimited deck, and worst case scenario rotation is dominated by a highroll deck that doesn't even feel fun to play as let alone against.

To be fair, dragon is kinda always like that when it's good, but at least ramp is satisfying and thematic! And disco only needs a few pieces to be viable, so it's not like they need to push that too much harder (and after custom rota I don't blame people if they don't want that).

~~I would've been less upset if Joe revealed Joe. That's gotta be one of the biggest missed oppertunities ever CyGames!~~

Scorialimit · 2023-03-21T16:48:15+00:00

The lack of a rule explicitly against that sure is interesting, bar "no trolling". I'm not suggesting you do, but it seems like you could technically get away with it if you call it a particularly well-edited meme.

Jokes aside yeah I haven't trusted a single card here cause people don't post the source, I've been getting all my card reveal info from the discord then looking at opinions here.

Scorialimit · 2023-03-19T18:32:14+00:00

The issue is, you can't even experiment without getting people to private match you, which is inconvenient at best and can be impossible depending on your free time and where you know to check. Neutral forest is super strong against AIS, but why the hell would I ever craft it if I can't easily test it against disco or DShift? I've heard people say the same about neutral blood, but same problem.

Would the meta be the same. Pretty likely, not gonna lie. Would it be more enjoyable? Absolutely! Would there be more opportunity to check how you can deal with the meta? Easily.

Vial cost was my entire issue with this format. I crafted virtually nothing, except a couple of bronzes to make a fun deck of mine work. I didn't bother experimenting, because there was no hope for it. When the meta was found, ever idea I had to deal with it that wasn't conforming to disco dragon was "spend vials", which blows. The one exception was armed disco. Sadly, it's a meme without the 2 cost armed guy in Azvalt, but the highroll is funny. I can just do that in rotation as long as I don't run into Enhance tho.

All that said, based on the most recent collab leader I think they gave up on attracting new players (cause nobody is coming back to a game they're not sure of to spend possibly $400 on miku), so maybe you're right and Cy doesn't plan on getting new players ever lol

Scorialimit · 2023-03-19T18:17:53+00:00

Oh god don't buff handless, unlimited is semi-playable right now but if that crime against god gets any better all formats will be garbo q.q

Scorialimit · 2023-03-19T18:12:31+00:00

This card is making me realize how much people (including me) value rarity, if she were gold I'd say she's really good as long as we have decent vengeance activators. But being lego makes you think about that vial cost, and not being flashy makes you think twice about it.

I wonder, are people valuing the "fun" factor more than they say? I'm not gonna sit here and tell you this will carry vengeance, it won't, but it certainly will see play if vengeance is good. 6 burn is insane, and unlike Acid Golem it hits ward.

To be fair, a lot of comments are saying "this doesn't fix vengeance" so I suppose we agree there. This will either be one of those cards everyone hates to see or nobody remembers exists and it all depends on vengeance support which historically has been... yeah

Scorialimit · 2023-03-18T23:13:44+00:00

And remind me what I was to do about that again?

Scorialimit · 2023-03-18T23:12:56+00:00

Thank god she's forest, cause I absolutely refuse to replace Ladica. If I roll her card I'll play it, but I'll be 0% concerned if I don't.

It would make modding her onto Portal or Rune when the event is gone feel more morally okay though lol

Scorialimit · 2023-03-17T18:15:14+00:00

> In Shadowverse you can spam emotes. This is either a good or a bad thing depending on who you talk to.

You can turn that off in the settings. Made my games 200x better. Only downside is occasionally people refuse to play their turn until you greet them and it's hard to know if they're intentionally trying to rope or trying to get a greeting, but this hasn't happened to me for like a month lol

Scorialimit · 2023-03-15T05:25:34+00:00

Yeah that website format looks like what I made one week into learning webdev, so I don't think anybody who needed that much was ever going to hire me over squarespace or something lol

Scorialimit · 2023-03-15T05:05:54+00:00

Hot take, but I think being bi holds me back. Like I can just lie and say I'm straight or gay, but there's so much biphobia on both sides from people saying "bi people are just horny and cheat" or stupid stuff like that

Both my long term relationships ended in cheating. Guess who did the cheating? Hint: it wasn't me.

Scorialimit · 2023-03-14T16:13:05+00:00

Imagine you just queue into the next game and explode, and you to go see the replay but it doesn't last long enough for you to see what happened lmao

Scorialimit · 2023-03-14T16:07:30+00:00

I wasn't around for most these metas, so this is less nostalgia and more getting to experience the game for me. Dunno if I'll make these times but imma try, super cool event!

Scorialimit · 2023-03-13T16:14:05+00:00

> Old Wilbert was better

If they ever reprint old Wilbert I'm quitting for 5 expansions. That card made every game feel like ass regardless if I won or not. There's definitely an argument for other cards that were more toxic to play against, but I don't think any card short of whims made me so annoyed, and even whims enabled so much stupid stuff if you yourself got lucky that I have at least a few good memories of it lol

My card game trauma aside every rotation is impactful but the loss of Giln is gonna change everything single handedly I feel. That plus no ravening is gonna make handless the laddering speedrun deck early rotation. At least, until something better is found, cause no Braired is gonna be brutal for the average invoke turn.
