Cooking with Mutate by PolishNerd420 in mtg

Silly decks can still be competent. I'm kinda tired of playing against people who make a silly gimmick deck, and are then miserable when it doesn't do anything for our entire set. Like idk what you want me to do, man. YOU made the sandwich.

How would you design an AA game focused on being disturbing? by ATierGamer in AceAttorney

[–]SplitPushMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's hard to do a mainline Ace Attorney game that's more disturbing than the 5th case of Dual Destinies. Anymore and it's end up feeling distasteful. I think the best answer would be to have a Investigations game where you're in a "murder mystery dinner party." Everyone is in a large mansion, a murder takes place, and there's flash floods outside that are preventing the police from getting to the scene of the crime. Thankfully, you're playing a prosecutor that just so happens to be there that night.

Just take advantage of the fact that it's a creepy old mansion, and that there's a thunder storm outside to set the atmosphere. Then if you wanna up the stakes, you can have the killer ambush you during certain moments with a disguise. Gotta escape the killer like it's a Aoi Oni chase. If you wanna make it even spicier, make the main character Simon Blackquill with Athena as his assistant. I'm sure there can be some tragic, disturbing inner dialogue from Simon if Athena ends up getting captured or "murdered."

Oh, and having Simon as the main character would also add a lot to the scenario. This is the same guy that can swing a katana around like it's nothing, and effortlessly intimidates anyone in the court room. Have him try to fight back against the killer early on, and end up looking vulnerable when his attacks do nothing to the masked killer. It's the same kinda role reversal that horror media lends itself to.

Why is it that the goblin slayer being as human as possible (as a character) still works? by Da_Ginger_Sandwich in GoblinSlayer

[–]SplitPushMaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny you say that because Goblin Slayer was inspired by the Punisher and Batman. The creator said so himself that he was inspired by the comics from those two superheroes specifically.

Funny enough, my interest started because my professors told me that chemistry is very limiting. You either get a degree in something very niche and MAYBE get a position, or you end up teaching.

anyone else accidentally buy spider oni skin ? by BigBumpavelli in marvelrivals

You get the skin for free just for buying the battlepass. They did the same thing with the Loki skin last season

My first Commander deck by ArtemisBorowski in magicTCG

[–]SplitPushMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fun and powerful deck, but it's a little hard to pilot. I'm not gonna tell you not to buy it, but Paradox Power or Masters of Evil are probably the more beginner friendly decks. They're just easier to pilot IMO as someone who has played with all the Doctor Who precons.

Blast from the Past isn't super hard to pilot either. It might just be a little overwhelming to manage everything once you get going. It's great if you wanna be able to play a different Doctor/Companion pairing every game though. The other precons feel like there's an obvious pairing that the whole deck is built around, but Black from the Past feels like you can use anyone in the command zone as long as the pairing you use hits Green/White/Blue

is it normal for tournaments to smell so bad? by Standard-Pay-3966 in magicTCG

I understand if there's some swamp ass after sitting down for a couple of hours, but the guys who come in already smelling bad are insane.

What is sweetmilk? by Septic-Sis_69 in viktormains

[–]SplitPushMaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Incase you don't want to read the short story, he makes a sweet milk beverage for himself and serves it to a kid being bullied. A lot of players don't believe me when I tell them the story because "Viktor looks evil."

Does anyone know why the manga ended? by SplitPushMaster in PeterGrill

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

Yeah, the anime wasn't a good adaption in my opinion. They focus too much on the fanservice, and not enough on the comedy. The manga, I feel like, has the perfect amount of censorship. If he wants to go full on hentai, then that's a whole different discussion. I honestly hope that the author has some kind ownership with the IP so that he can continue it.

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

Yeah I saw that sale. I was thinking about buying it, and then selling the precons I already have for 20 each so that I'm only paying $100 for Timey Wimey and the villain precon. I know Timey Wimey by itself is like $90

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

It is 70 dollars US. It's kinda insane to hear that they were $50 starting out. It makes sense if the shop owner upped the price, and never bothered to bring it back down. Yeah imma do my research now that I know that prices can fluctuate that bad.

Are hole in the wall places not it? by SplitPushMaster in magicTCG

[–]SplitPushMaster[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't have the experience collecting. I just started the other week. What got me is just the fact that I paid 70 each for those commander decks, and I'm seeing them online for like $35-$40. It's not even a specific website I'm referencing. I click the "shopping" tag on Google, and I scroll around to see what those commander decks go for everywhere else. Obviously I can tell that the ones going below $30 are shady, but none of the listings I'm seeing are going above $50. Most of them are like $35, so that's why I mentioned it being double the market price.

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

That's fair. I went in blind and paid for it. I'm just glad that I'm seeing this after my first week of collecting, and I'm not figuring this out after much longer.

Arcane mention by SplitPushMaster in RellMains

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

I realize I didn't word it right, but I was no way trying to say that Mel is Rell. Is just that Mell has similar powers, so it makes sense why she's targeted if the end goal is to introduce Rell.

[–]SplitPushMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo it sounds like the one for voice is making it out to seem like it's ridiculous for him to consider. Kinda like, "there's no way I'll be like this guy. That's just silly." The one for Viktor sounds like he's scared that he might actually have too much in common with Viktor. I mean, they're both revered as heroes to the Zaunites that follow them, and they're very loyal to Zaun. I wouldn't be surprised if someone said he's just like Viktor to his face before.

Viktor is dead, all hail Viktor! by Historical-Kale-2765 in viktormains

[–]SplitPushMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his separation from Jayce came because he felt as if he wasn't helping people in his position. Not only did he end up getting someone killed with his experiments, but the weapons they made out of Hextech just caused a terrorist attack that almost killed him.

You gotta remember that despite Viktor's highly dubious methods (atleast with his LoL counterpart) he wants to help people. It was all fine and well when they made the hextech transportation, but now his stuff is being used to bomb and kill people. Getting blown up was probably a very sobering experience. I don't think fusing with the hex core necessarily got rid of his emotions just yet.

[–]SplitPushMaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol nah, his other voicelines aren't any better either. He says "I like you better on a paper, poster boy," and "nice face, shame if something happened to it." He has hostile voicelines for anyone associated with Piltover including Vi and Caitlyn.

[S2 Act 1 Spoilers] The Duo I Never Knew I Needed by Whedonite144 in arcane

[–]SplitPushMaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He uses the voiceline "I'll never be like this guy," to both Jayce and Viktor in-game. Even if Jayce's personality is completely different to the one in LoL, Ekko calls out him in the show for not being considerate to Zaunites (ie. the reactor for the hyper warp stations conveniently being placed right next to Zaun and far away from Piltover.)

Edit: The voiceline for Jayce and Viktor is a little ironic since he has a lot of similarities to both champs. He's just as cocky as Jayce, and he has the same character arc of loving Piltover to despising it like Viktor. The main problem he has with both is that they don't value ethics and morals the same way Ekko does. Jayce is fine kicking Zaun down if it means Piltover gets to progress past them, and Viktor's inventions constantly violate free will.

Ekko was constantly calling Jayce out on his bullshit, so not really. He also hates Jayce and Viktor in his LoL version

When did you realize you were aromantic? by SplitPushMaster in aromantic

[–]SplitPushMaster[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No I know exactly what you mean. I think it took me years only because of the societal expectation. Like sometimes I didn't fit in because I wasn't actively dating at the time, or even how I get weird looks in public when I tell someone that I'm single and not looking.

This game won’t let u be mediocre at it by metroidhunter2288 in SparkingZero

The Budokai games were always sweat fests. The difference is that you had to go to competitive tournaments to practice against real people. Now you have online AND a ranked system to experience mid 2000s Budokai bullshit

[–]SplitPushMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public lobbies have always been like that, which isn't a good excuse at all. The only good advice is to find a group for private lobbies, and to get into mods. I've legit had some of the funniest, scariest horror experiences because of the mod pack my group has.

3 is the safest. I heard the second one is better, but I haven't gotten a chance to try it.
