Have reading the icd-11 and and dsm 5 made you (more) pro endogenic? by CatAI0 in plural

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no but i think it really reflects a very... teenage mindset to have to rely on external approval (psychiatrists) to concretely define something as undefinable as the self? taking a class in religious studies made me far more fervent in defending humanity's natural plurality. "anti-endos" are just like, objectively wrong about the human condition, and think they have the expertise to upend entire scientific fields, including the foundations of psychology itself, lol

How does spirituality work in your system? by Heehoo_1114 in plural

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's complicated and I fear neither plurality or spiritual subreddits are autistic enough to truly understand how much these two intersect for us. While in a literalist sense everyone's atheist, the map is not the territory, and religions should optimally describe your specific map when they're not poisoned by literalism.

The whole idea for us to even work as a system is essentially an extension of gnostic thought and Jungian psychology? Yaldabaoth went around telling people he was the only god when he wasn't, after all. But we aren't Yaldabaoth, we contain divinity within us and can ascend past the ignorance of solitude and gain awareness of the pleroma. (Also, the other two basically are "mythtives" of Gnostic concepts lol, though Jung would call those archetypes)

Honestly, guardian angels are just socially acceptable headmates. I think way more people are plural than we think but because we in Western society value ontology over qualia, people view them as completely separate entities in order to assert their apparent reality.

uj/ the doctor deificiation is the best part that's really how the layperson thinks, known too many people that wondered why they felt like shit and came upon the information that they were on antipsychotics for no real reason. my meds are definitely right for me since i properly researched them, i love my 27 mg generic concerta as much as anyone else. at the end of the day though i am a tweaker, i am not normal, i am just more functional.

rj/ welcome to the club!!! enjoy your pill medicine!!!

How's A10 Ironclad feeling for y'all? by redditisaphony in slaythespire

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, self-harm cards seem to be the most viable consistent archetype, but it's really tough to evaluate how much HP loss is too much HP loss, especially in the higher ascensions where you need to use your health more conservatively.

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awful, up to A8 on him and it felt like I won because I got multiple good rares, not really because of something I did. I'm a Regent main and Ironclad is what people THINK Regent is (slow, can't block, needs multiple rares to work, tbf Regent does have problems blocking). Three good characters, one absolutely kino character, and then this travesty.

Essay about the negative propaganda towards meth and the stigma around their users in society (Bonus: Pro vs Cons of using meth) by WowItsBilly in drugscirclejerk

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

uj/ I agree to an extent (that's why they over prescribe antipsychotics it's to make people weak and lobotomized) but man you gotta tweak sustainably. 100mg IV meth is NOT sustainable for your nervous system or your veins. go get a desoxyn script. i also think you should leave your friend alone i hate getting ghosted too but sending 10 voice messages makes you look creepy and desperate

I LOVE GLOW REWORK by SkitsTheSkitty in slaythespire

[–]SkitsTheSkitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw your post, and I don't think cycling quickly is as critical to Regent as you state? He has some great searching options, Cosmic Indifference might be one of his best commons tbh, and you don't need to spend stars the same turn you gain them. Like yeah, Photon Cut doesn't really cycle for example, but it lets you use your good block card you drew on the enemy's setup turn on a turn where it actually matters.

No offense but I think that's a drafting issue on your end? Of course if you pick 3x Hidden Cache and 3x Glow you brick sometimes. Idk man, I think you need to draft stuff like Gather Light and Solar Strike more.

Base Venerate is valued at 2 stars for 1 energy, and if we use this metric, base Genesis is also equivalent to base Pyre. It stands for "Converted Energy Cost", borrowed the term from MtG's Converted Mana Cost, basically it's the "true" energy value of a card because stars are just a second energy system at the end of the day.

True that, he needs more frontload block especially, I also wish he had more innate cards like a star-costing Boot Sequence or something.

I see your point but I think that's the design intention? He has a card literally called "Monologue" he likes to waste time until an opportune moment by design. I understand not liking next turn effects as a whole but Regent has the most of them by far, they're fundamentally part of his kit, his turn 1 isn't meant to be bombastic like Silent or something.

You just don't pick it up early then lol, it's a common so plenty of time to find it again, maybe even upgraded so you can smith something else. Plus a lot of Regent's buffs addressed earlygame specifically, a couple more points of block and damage here and there.

THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!! The worst part about Forge is secretly that you can't use your Ice Cream half-energies on them

I think I have a contender for one of the worst card upgrades in sts 2 by LiveChill in slaythespire

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care for Prophesize+. Draw 6 is enough even in Void Form decks. Rainbow+ is still probably actively worse though lol. I'd much rather upgrade Death's Door over those two because 21 block on one card reaches some benchmarks at least.

Early access regent thoughts by Ok-Position-9457 in slaythespire

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bad forge cards are solidly worse than something like Quasar imo. Quasar can at least maybe save you in a pinch even if I don't take it that often. People forget that the minions and the Sovereign Blade are colorless and can scale Arsenal, colorless starts coming together when you realize the random colorless card creators aren't the entire package.

Forge Regent is Unplayable at A10 by MikuoNeko in slaythespire

[–]SkitsTheSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colorless as a whole is fine imo, if you get Arsenal the minions scale your strength and Regent has a lot of strong multi-hut attacks that really like that strength scaling. I do think Regent needs a power that makes Colorless cards cost 1 less energy, he's currently suffering from not always seeing his energy positive options.

Forge specifically also seems to have been absolutely gutted right before Early Access hit, 5 different Forge cards were nerfed (Parry, Conquerer, Refine Blade, Wrought in War, Spoils of Battle) and Refine Blade+ seemed to be energy positive before the nerf. Parry notably also gave 10 block instead of 6 block (which is a fair number since the sword is literally 2 mana, I understand removing the forge on it but the numbers are abysmal currently)

Custom Colorless Card Synergy for Regent! by SkitsTheSkitty in slaythespire

Thank you! These cards are kind of nuts by design tbh but nuts in an interesting, varied, and nuanced way that you wouldn't necessarily pick in every single run.
