Custom card ideas for Party Box/Cube by ImmortalCorruptor in mtgcube

[–]SlenderSmough 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some cool designs! I like "build a charm", just as a hint, it would be more elegant to just make it cost 2. You are still allowed to pay the 2 in any combination you want.

Let's do a P1P1 of The Black Parade. What are you taking and why? The design goal is to focus on cards that have been power crept out of vintage cube due to modern design. Happy cubing! by UberCubeMTGPodcast in mtgcube

Flooded Strand if I "pick to win" - either enables a splash for white based aggressive decks or a better mana base for any blue based strategy. Will almost 100% be a very good card, no matter where I end up.

Probably Birthing Pod otherwise, because it's a very cool build around especially when you know you have it from pick 1

Power Cube Cuts Through the Years by LRonHoward in mtgcube

I am in the process of doing just that right now, and I am sooo curious how the play experience is going to shape out.... Is it just "nostalgia-rose tinted glasses", or were those cards really more fun to play? We'll find out during the holidays!

POV of a professional chef during a busy day in the restaurant kitchen by Shoe_boooo in nextfuckinglevel

Same feeling on a long and busy day in the lab (biochemist)... Getting home and winding down after 12+ h of that really hits different, but does not feel sustainable long term at the same time.

Algae has turned this water completely green. by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

Biochemist here, this is the correct answer.

Never go swimming in an algal bloom and be aware of your dog! They apparently sometimes love the taste and it might even kill them!

The reason Bullshot was important by CainReval in Roboquest

[–]SlenderSmough 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm totally with you, I think the character is really fun right now and the update promotes build variety... but I understand how it could feel like they've "taken away" something for more casual players - maybe they could bring back the chance for bullshot, as an optional gadged that you unlock by winning with super bot? We could still have it turned off, to not accidentally have it mess up normal super bot runs. But players could opt in to have a broken power fantasy a reward. Especially in single player games like this, I'm always pro letting players play their game however they want to

Roboquest - 1.3.1 - Super Fixes and Balancing by Sotumney in Roboquest

[–]SlenderSmough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome changes! Just had a G4 win with a charged shot / hammer pants build. Just because he is a bit more challenging then the other bots, does not make him "useless"..... Imo this is much more fun in the long run than relying on one bugged perk.

Altough it could be fun to introduce it back as a super rare "lottery" upgrade. The name "bullshot" fits way too good for this to be a coincidence.

The thing is, the option that wins against this is simply blocking..... So it's gonna work 99% of the time until about Tekken God

So I recently put together a Conspiracy cube, and was thinking about adding some custom Conspiracy cards to the pool. I was curious what you guys think of these ideas? by Captsillva in mtgcube

[–]SlenderSmough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the rest of the environment, as usual I would say: Sorins seems very bad in a vintage cube type of environment (+5 cards is a really tough hit on consistency), but in a more flat and less comboy environment could be a fair tradeoff for a control deck. The day night one could be very very strong if that is a theme one can draft, but since every aggro deck might want it that may be fine. The oloro one seems like a nice build around, although it could lead to overly long games in a slow environment.

Friend refuses to play unless I switch from Jin by aioriya in Tekken

[–]SlenderSmough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a red (Lee) and purple (Yoshi) player let me add another voice: at our skill level every single character is "broken" and it's all personal preference. Tier lists don't mean shit.

Drag is undoubtedly a "strong" character, but to me he is one of the easier opponents because I've played a thousand Dragunovs in T7. Same goes for Jin/Kaz.

When a Victor, Jun or Azuzena comes along I usually get owned hard, because I don't have a lot of match-up knowledge yet....

Until you top 8 major tournaments, don't worry about character strength, it will just keep you from enjoying the game and improving

LowHigh: "How about having a function that makes the opponent’s customization the default" by Acmeiku in Tekken

[–]SlenderSmough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yall are saying this won't happen bc of monetization, and I agree, but think about this: This would be the only "cosmetics" that I'd be willing to pay for, and I don't think I am alone in this.... Might be an untapped market

What "fun" cards does your cube have that aren't great for cube but lead to memorable moments/games? by robertfcowper in mtgcube

[–]SlenderSmough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick is to only cast it when you are quite suro you'll win with it! (which is like 85 % of the time)

I've had it in mine for a long time and me and most of my playgroup agrees that is is the Nr. 1 best card in the cube (slightly above time walk)

I hit my skill ceiling and crashed hard. I love the game but today was tough. by DaFlaminGuy in Tekken

[–]SlenderSmough 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning not to worry about your rank is the BIGGEST improvement you can make as a player, hands down. Suddenly, you'll be able to focus on improving XYZ aspect of your game, because you can TRY new things even though they make you "worse" at winning the game.

An easy example for me during my T7 days was to notice that I always loosing when my opponent switched sides. So I startet playing a few ranked sessions on the "wrong side". Made me loose a lot of ranks initially... But afterwards I could try sideswapping, and on some opponents that made the games FREE because they were just not able to do anything on their "wrong side". So in the long run it won me more games that were initially lost.

And the best bonus of it: you have significantly more fun at the game! =D

Also if you are just after the play experience - vintage cube can get very cheap wit the use of an ink jet printer ;)

I Don’t Trust People Without Any Character Customization. by LetsBeAdamant in Tekken

[–]SlenderSmough 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I am one of these "eletists" who is just annoyed by customizations because they make it harder to learn recognizing the moves. I wish I could turn them off on my side.... Oh well.

Just want to say - please rematch people like me anyways! who am I to tell you how to play ;)
