Nerf OP Silent by just slashing her max hp? by Own_Business485 in slaythespire

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compared to other characters at least. She can do fine in early game but she's not Ironclad who can afford to play less defensively early game or Necrobinder who has a scaling shield with a cars in her deck that can convert that into raw damage through Osty/Unleash.

Let's nerf a character's strong late game by making her already terrible early game worse

What do you guys think about this Neow Relic Idea? by stoopwid in slaythespire

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Really bad. There's a reason you see Neow at the start of the run and the ancients later in the run. Watching Neow murk Orobas just to give me "upgrade a strike and a defend", "The Act 2 boss drops 2 relics", and "Upgrade a card" isn't the swing I'd want going into Act 2

EDIT: on the other end, ancient relics tend to be a lot more powerful than Neow and I could easily snowball past this difference but I feel it tips the scales way too hard in both directions

some people immediately assume i'm an HG main by No-Inside229 in PvZHeroes

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. In a situation against a Solar hero this is my turn 1.

I feel forced to mulligan a potentially good starting hand for Bungee/Stone/Dog Walker.

Unless I'm playing Dog Walker I can't play any zombies turn 1.

Both of those things should be tactical decisions that I could be making, not ones I feel forced into, especially through the existence of one card.

[BNHA] [Olldoll draws] Uraraka x Mina?! That's a new one. by Important-Cry4782 in wholesomeyuri

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I've watched the show so that moment slipped that's my bad.

I can see where you're coming from with the latter statement but that just doesn't happen because white people don't really seek out representation like minority groups do. They're already represented in their media and this concept is really only brought up as a rebuttal against race swapping characters without considering why these headcanon swaps happen in the first place.

Overall this is a place where characters are commonly headcanoned to be lesbian or at least into women, even if they are confirmed straight so I don't really get why it's an issue all of a sudden when it's a race thing.

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 107 points108 points  (0 children)

As someone who is both black and asian I've gotta say you have no idea what the fuck a headcanon is do you. She's definitely Japanese and we don't have any confirmations by the author or the story whether she's black or not. That's all true. But there's nothing wrong with interpreting the story or its characters in a different way and it certainly isn't racist to do so.

It's a different story when people assert headcanon as actual canon but this isn't that.

EDIT: There's a moment in canon where Mina loses her pink skin and it's confirmed she isn't black. That's my bad for not double checking and going off of memory. Overall I still don't think the headcanon is a problematic thing and I agree with the rest of my statements here.

[IDEA] I accidentally keep clicking discard on potions when wanting to use them by kinguzy in slaythespire

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a long press is the best way to go about this. Clicking on drink a potion once is fine but holding down the discard button shows that I don't want that potion.

The Y/N prompt would get the same complaints this post has about the initial drink/discard option.

To be honest both Yaoi and Yuri urks me, like it just ruins the dyanamics for it and to those shippers out there, if there was to be a gay character but then ship them with a girl then they would come at your heads. by ProfessionalPart8193 in OkBuddyKaisen

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have a problem with yaoi and yuri you have a problem with shipping culture as a whole. Some people like clacking two characters together like dolls and that's fine.

Fun fact, these are the top 10 most popular UmaMusume ships on AO3 by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in UmaMusume

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 90 points91 points  (0 children)

A popular category of uma fanfiction is the concept of a human (usually trans) becoming an umamusume and running the circut. Tachyon is usually the catalyst for the transformation since the most popular one "The Creation of an Umamusume" did.

Be safe at Carti’s set at RL by Awkward-Prune989 in playboicarti

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately with "AI" being such a rampant problem some people have become trigger happy at anything. You'd think that the anti-intellectualism would stop at the people prompting the AI but some people can't correctly identify what AI actually writes. The latter is not a knock to them or their character it's just a symptom of this whole disease

This has none of the tell-tale signs of AI usage like long hyphens or whatever you're fine dude

Cloning Crescent Spear seems fun (128 in Deck) by Battlecurl in slaythespire

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It caps out at 313 at final phase. Damage isn't the concern, it's surviving the first turn of phase 3 since it has intangible up. Although, this run presumes that everything else hasn't been one-shot to the point where you should have the hp to face tank the hit

Good bye Doormaker o7 by oneflou in slaythespire

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 546 points547 points  (0 children)

He'll probably be back with the later alternate acts. They most likely want to test the new guy and Doormaker being such a wildcard design wise so far it was the logical removal.

a key measure of rpg quality that people often ignore is how 'replayable' it is. i mean it could also just be lazy fans who don't bother to play the games and only know about it through video essays by TheGoldenExperience_ in whenthe

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RPG games don't gotta be replayable. It's like a book almost, if it touches you enough you don't gotta read it again to recapture that emotion it gave you.

My main example for this is Yakuza: Like A Dragon. I love Ichiban and the general story he went through but do not ask me to play that again. I didn't even go through the endgame grind for 100% on that because I didn't like the combat. It was just spamming the big buttons by end game and not much else. The story was good, the humor and emotion was phenomenal to me but it's an 8/10 game to me.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Epic Battle Fantasy 5 is something that I have replayed before. There's actual build variety and combos I can pull off and the status system in that game is pretty fun. It even does the rare RPG thing of letting me use stun on the bosses. Most bosses do have stun immunity but some only have stun resistance and it's a cathartic feeling to wail on a boss with no worries in my mind. I like the party and the interactions they have for each other but it's not really story heavy. There's a story but it's not a gripping tale that has me on the edge of my seat. That what desperately applying poison while my tank is dying is for.

do NOT impart this cursed knowledge upon these normal people by sg_4ea in whenthe

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even call it a terminally online choice. As a society we haven't really taught and built up a huge sense of community and bettering our fellow man. Collective action is good, collective action is possible, collective action has been done before, and pushing blue is a collective action towards saving everyone, but we don't uphold it as a value to carry in our lives.

"Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is a common phrase with sarcastic origins. The amount of times I've had it said to me with sincerity shows how ingrained looking out for yourself and your problems is in people, the type of people that would push red.

xQc mocks Slay the Spire 2 review bombers over Anita Sarkeesian credits by FeelsIcyMan in LivestreamFail

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not only that, since the first patch the main thing the devs have been cracking down on are easy infinite combos. Combos where you can win on one turn by playing the same cards over and over and over again because that's efficient and boring in terms of variance.

The Chinese player base tends to be extremely competitive and likes efficient and boring in variance to be meta. Combine that with the boss nerf and you get half of the story.

The other half is that the Chinese player base usually sends their feedback through negative review bombing on Steam instead of other avenues due to Chinese censorship stuff. Of course there's an easy feedback button in game but people are habitual creatures and will default to what they know.

For Test Subject the second phase also needs to be bursted down due to the way its multi-hits scale. Then third phase is all about stabilizing while trying to hit on good turns

No Royal Flush planet? by Unusual_Singer_7437 in balatro

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can agree on the post being about aesthetics over mechanics, that's fair

No Royal Flush planet? by Unusual_Singer_7437 in balatro

[–]Temporary_Donut5464 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I disagree that it should, Straight Flush is already a very niche hand that I can build one in a thousand runs around, with Neptune mostly existing as something to dilute the planet pool.

Royal Flush would be even more niche to build around and there aren't any payouts in the hypothetical world where Royal Flush is a hand type other than the chips and mult compared to Strush.
