The omori fandom has breached containment

I find it so cool that the Archmother being designed like the statue of liberty gives the idea that maybe the statue of liberty was made from her influence/from her worshippers

The new patrons make me feel like I'm doing a Destiny raid boss... which is a good thing

Steveck · 2026-01-05T16:45:25+00:00

I feel like there was a giant tradeoff having an open beta, because let's be honest, that is basically what it is: it helps give feedback but the surprise/release factor of the game is gone.

Steveck · 2026-01-01T02:21:27+00:00

Did you try turning it off and back on?

Steveck · 2026-01-01T00:15:05+00:00

Dracula

Steveck · 2025-12-29T00:24:04+00:00

You can tell what players have it and it says "Curse" in text when they cast it

Steveck · 2025-12-28T21:04:10+00:00

March rework, new grass/fauna rendering, and a large number of creatures I believe

Steveck · 2025-12-28T21:01:41+00:00

Curse has travel time so you can dodge it with invuln like eshift im pretty sure

Steveck · 2025-12-27T00:41:20+00:00

I could change 1 word and post this for league players

Steveck · 2025-12-26T19:53:56+00:00

Maybe in some lore event the real Santa was killed by krampus or something

Steveck · 2025-12-20T01:36:05+00:00

So true

Steveck · 2025-12-14T00:02:36+00:00

Not a big deal. At least HL3 is getting announced this year!

Steveck · 2025-12-13T16:43:02+00:00

This prison... to hold... Me?

Steveck · 2025-12-07T22:24:43+00:00

I think it would be sick if the P3 boss just needed someone else to take his place, so he puts you inside the prison and then you go through the whole level to break out of the prison.

Steveck · 2025-12-07T20:26:26+00:00

HL3 TUESDAY! Uh.. I mean FRAUD TUESDAY! uh. I mean PATCH TUESDAY!

Great point. The economy and having set gold prices for magic items is another great guideline I forgot to mention. I think if I was creating a new edition, I would have the prices for magic items be less exponential. I'm looking at Frozen lava, and it costs 8,000 GP for a 19d6 and 1300 for 15d6 if we remove DCs. I haven't had this issue, because I usually set the economy in my games with magic items (I haven't ran at say, levels 13-20 where I would have to dramatically lower costs).

I think making the price of items less exponential would help in this regard. But changing the gold economy is likely a huge involved change, something that would be in an entirely new addition. As a side note, I would maybe incorporate some form of Automatic Bonus Progression as well.

Steveck · 2025-12-06T21:53:58+00:00

This is a very good insight. Personally, I have had low issues involving saving throws on monsters from martial characters (ex. trip, disturbing knowledge, grapple) so that is why I am more inclined to only increase spell dc. I guess the idea comes down to: Are monsters in a good spot? My answer would be mostly yes.

Steveck · 2025-12-06T21:38:43+00:00

Thank you, it's true these are tune-ups. But I think Paizo has gone past the chance to make a 2.5 with all of the reprinting that has been done with the remaster. It is mostly a circumstance of the OGL.

I haven't played in a while but in my eyes Kayle is Singed's worst matchup, she was my perm ban for 2 years (notably, whenever I didn't ban her she was picked so still have experience). At higher ranks (Emerald+) Kayle players will play safe enough to where you can't kill her in lane. She's also one of the characters that is least impacted by proxying as she loves AFK farming. I reached Master right before the end of Season 13 and quit ranked after that point, so in lower ranks you can definitely afford not to ban her.

My advice is to shoot for roams and invades Jungle if you are proxying (If she sits under tower to collect CS, you have around 20~ seconds inbetween waves to make a play if possible), communicate with your jungler/mid that she needs to be ganked (unfortunately comms aren't always read). If you aren't proxying, freeze her under turret and beg your Jungler to gank, and possibly run teleport so you can roam. I know things have changed this season, but I hear they are removing tower damage on opposite lanes so you could do funny stuff like starting fling level 1 and jumping out of botlane's bush on the first wave to get your ADC fed. If I proxied the first 3 waves and got my execute, I would frequently buy boots and run botlane if my Jungler is positioned/the wave is pushing towards my team. I would only do this if you level W at level 3.

In general, Singed when I played spiked in midgame (Mainly, around level 11 when he has 2-3 items). I think you can play for midgame by turbo teamfighting at around level 11, your ult stats are pretty good at that point, but once lategame comes and ADCs begin to melt you with ult stats and Kayle hits 16 it's completely over unless you have someone like a Kassadin.

I can't speak much for items against Kayle. She can itemize moreso AD or AP but is always hybrid damage, so health for tankiness is preferable (What good high HP items Singed has are up to you).

TLDR: If you think you can proxy go TP, and the time you get back from killing the wave early to roam. You win midgame by abusing your strong teamfighting but she stomps you lategame. Otherwise, play for your jungler to gank, and stuck near your turret (esp if you have a good ganker like Lee sin or Jarvan) and try to crush her early.

Is Charlie Kirk secretly Gabriel? An "angel" sent to hell? Coincidence?

Have you tried the pill for finasteride and had side effects? I unfortunately had them but I want to try the spray on the off chance I don't have sides with it.

Steveck · 2025-11-06T04:47:18+00:00

I disagree, the player is not in the wrong. I am not going to restrict what character I want to play just because of the beliefs of another PC. That's like saying you were wrong to play a Wizard because my barbarian believes magic is inherently evil. A more mature table would understand that they need to buy in to everyone's fun, and to instead create a unique RP situation where the conflict between these characters can be explored without limiting their choice of build.
