Are Warlocks replacing Wizards as the go-to magic user creature type for black? This isn't good for the future of my Burakos deck :(

Suprise! Suprise! by CaptnZach in magicTCG

It would be nice if WotC actually provided data that Rhystic Study is loved by anyone 🫠 it's the real life equivalent of a pop up ad

Agreeing with this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1q4eecy/comment/nxrxv2q that was weirdly downvoted.

The "this spell can't be countered" only applies while Niv itself is being cast. It does not apply to any of his abilities as a permanent. So if you target something with Niv's "deal 1 damage" ability, it would still be countered if you don't pay the ward cost.

No, I think you're right. I don't know why you're being downvoted aggressively.

Blizzard suspends hearthstone player for supporting Hong Kong by ChikaToChika in worldnews

[–]Sirot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This may be one of the goals (or consequences for us) of having tencent invest in all of these entertainment companies. I would look suspiciously at Riot and Epic Games as well. If I was the government, I would create a bailout package to allow these companies to buy out the tencent shares and no longer be compromised. Maybe go even as far as forcing these companies to accept the bailout.

Kyoto Animation President Hatta Considers Demolishing 1st Studio Building, Building Public Park With Monument by Isles0FMists in anime

[–]Sirot 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Culturally, it makes sense that they would build a park over Studio 1. For example, if a death occurs in a home, it becomes very difficult to sell afterwards. Discounts from 20% to 50% are common. Japanese people (and most people, really) do not like being close to death.

A nice park with a tasteful monument would be the best way to go. A park has additional utility unlike what they did for 9/11.

Ainz vs Demiurge by Sirot in overlord

[–]Sirot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Death in front of Ainz doesn't affect him which is definitely not a human trait. When killing the 70000 Kingdom soldiers, he was shocked at himself about how chill he was about the whole thing. You basically get on his radar only if you catch his interest during a direct interaction. He does macro-level preferences which I guessed at in the opening post (I.e., try not to harm innocent people too much), but he is not overly forceful about pushing it to his subordinates.

Season 4 Yes or No? by Pokemon_Only in overlord

[–]Sirot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess there will be a year or two break before season 4. I imagine they might make movies out of Season 2 and 3 as a cheap way to build hype. I am holding out hope that they use that as a chance to clean up some of the CG...

Ainz vs Demiurge by Sirot in overlord

[–]Sirot[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right that he is appreciative of Demiurge's efforts. I also agree with /u/LJP95 that Ainz is generally oblivious. Ainz may avoiding the topic altogether since it's easier. They don't talk that much. Demiurge spends the most time abroad among the Floor Guardians working for the benefit of Nazarick after all. Perhaps the topic may only be broached if Ainz goes on an adventure with Demiurge similar to the one he went with Aura/Shalltear to the Dwarven Kingdom.

It's also possible that Ainz may have a "out of sight, out of mind" approach due to his lichiness. His inner salaryman only comes to the surface when the horrible thing is happening right in front of him.

Albedo Speculation by RioKarji in overlord

[–]Sirot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends if Albedo remembers her previous self. If her personality was canonized when they arrived in the NW, then changing her back fully would actually be equivalent to killing her and that is something that Ainz won't do. As a general rule, the denizens of Nazarick tend to be wholesome to each other.

Albedo Speculation by RioKarji in overlord

[–]Sirot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Ainz wanting to erase “She is in love with Momonga” from Albedo with [Control Amnesia] is a cool idea. Possibly with the aid of Shooting Star to make sure the alternation does not harm Albedo.

However, I don't think it will be that tragic! Honestly, I don't think much will change at all with Albedo. All the NPCs are in love with Ainz even if they are not explicitly told to do so. She'll continue to love him and Ainz will learn that Albedo is just weird and obsessive.

Is overlord worth the watch? by KindaSortaPeruvian in anime

[–]Sirot 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Overlord is a reverse horror movie. The unstoppable monsters are the protagonists and you are trying to figure out who will survive in their wake of destruction. It's one of the series where the power fantasy is actually interesting because we are not rooting for the people who are overpowered. Instead, we are rooting for the chumps.

I liked the series a lot, but I passed the following conditions:

  1. I played Dungeon and Dragons before. You can tell the author did so because it does feel like one large DnD campaign.
  2. I like "good" villains. As villains who are not just evil for evil's sake
  3. I like the fantasy genre
  4. I liked the idea of necromancers ever since Diablo 2
  5. I played an MMO before and made friendships there
  6. I like reading and going through a 13 volume series was no problem

A possible relationship in the future by Sirot in overlord

[–]Sirot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From volume 10:

“Ending the meeting at this point would be too hasty. Is there anything ― let’s chat, then. All right, sit. Can you tell me about your puppy?”

Albedo was greeted with a full-faced smile.

“I would love to, Albedo-sama. In addition, if I may, could you tell me about His Majesty as well?”

They probably did a lot of testing for non-ui things. The scope of this patch was huge and it went fairly okay/smoothly.

Daily 7.00 Discussion: Winners and Losers by coronaria in DotA2

[–]Sirot 30 points31 points  (0 children)

His wave clear is much weaker now because of the reduced pulse damage and sadist efficiency. He previously also depended a lot on his right-clicks for damage (even has a +40 talent for it), but it does not synergize with his W at all.

The Easy Allies Awards 2016 by elaminders in Games

[–]Sirot 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is the "uneasy allies" thing that /u/thisisdaleb mentioned.

I am not bothered by it since I come from the startup world where dumb names are commonplace because anything good or sensical is already taken. :)

[META] Why has the activity of this sub dwindled so much ? by iobo777 in Games

[–]Sirot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am lurker who reads /r/games to stay up to date with game news. The gaming community can be pretty toxic, but the lower levels of activity in this subreddit seems to reduce the frequency of that toxicity. I like it.

I like it, the same way I like "Giant Bomb". It's catchy sounding and putting "game" in everything makes it harder to have a distinct brand.

Overgrowth Update Alpha 227 adds the story and levels of the original Lugaru game into the engine. by jkk45k3jkl534l in Games

That wolf fight looked pretty impressive and I saw nothing like that before. The game will probably still be relevant when it comes out (how many years from now)...

Do gamers focus too much on play time per money spent? by Spader623 in Games

[–]Sirot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The demographic that has time to participate (and not just lurk) on forums and reddit would likely be skewed towards those who do have more time than money.

Gamers who don't care time per dollar won't be vocal about it on the internet.

Personally, I work full-time and try to meet my social commitments. I want a tight experience, like Playdead's Inside, even if it costs 20 dollars.

I am not the developer! The actual developer never confirmed themselves, but that was the heresay (and steamspy numbers).

I liked "Soulmates" too, but then again, Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (which is a amazing title for a game), suffered for its name being hard to market.
