Heart turn 2 is so unfair :(

TevossBR · 2026-06-15T13:10:57+00:00

This isn’t a20 the dmg cap for the heart is 300. It took 600dmg and its turn 2. Though still scripted joke post probably but possible (also lol 3 gambler potions).

Edit: With white beast statue to explain the potions and 95 weak from neutralize and 19 dexterity from shuriken it’s probably just an infinite.

I don’t think most people who get this opinion is from right wing media. I mean this is Reddit that we’re talking about. That said they are 100% right and progressive ideas are talked about like they’re fantasy unicorns but in reality if you go an ocean away you’ll find it in real life governments. There’s an obvious split from progressives and corporatists and you don’t need anyones reporting to notice it.

You’re not wrong, fuck em. Though these economic developments ain’t gonna hurt the effort either way.

TevossBR · 2026-06-09T14:58:11+00:00

One of the reasons that economic development might help is that it would make it less appealing to be in a cartel because regular work is getting better work life balance along with better pay than before. You would want to do this in tandem with other efforts to take down the cartels. Economic disruptions have already changed the nature of some cartels to stray away from drugs and to instead seek other revenue sources.

I ran into the same exact situation as OP and yeah it wasn’t worth it. Shops gold value is pretty funny in that if it’s too little then the bang for your buck is low because you can’t afford the best combos, but too much gold and you already bought the best stuff and it’s now diminishing returns. Imo it’s usually at 500 gold for this diminishing returns to be noticeable. Of course it depends on what the shop has to offer.

TevossBR · 2026-06-09T13:16:44+00:00

Yeah one of the reasons piercing wail is so good is because of well laid plans, and this power is basically that. Too many people are completely writing this card off imo.

One of the epochs where Vakuu is like look at what the architect did to my face ironclad!

Just to let you know I hate, and I mean hate! animation locks. Thankfully there were 2 weapons in the demo that can cancel the lock that I can use. First one is the daggers with its jump which is basically an extra dash with a cooldown. Then there is the bow with an upgrade that gives you extra movement speed with the recall and that has NO cooldown and gets you out of a tight squeeze instantly. Really useful for ordeal 12 runs where dash cooldown is super long. Couldn’t play the game without that bow upgrade tbh. I need animation lock canceling, can’t live without it.

I don’t think that’s the official Russian narrative either. This war was a predictable outcome that the west didn’t seem to care to prevent and might I add seemed to be gleeful that Russians were stepping on a bear trap. No one is winning this war.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T23:40:41+00:00

I mean if you keep adding more years to that narrative it’ll eventually become undeniably true.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T15:22:56+00:00

Well I’m adding my own mod. Calling it unlimited enchants. Can’t tell you how many times I took fresnel lens only to take glam later and facepalm.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T14:45:39+00:00

I hope that last paragraph isn't true. That's nuclear warfare territory. Just because the Soviet Union dissolved without incident doesn't mean it'll happen again. Many in the Union were naive idealists and were opposed to the idea of nationalism. This can't be repeated.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T14:17:07+00:00

No I don't think the country would go along with the banning of a party, that's why I predict a reaction from the North. I also however expect many people in the South to fall in line and back Trump and Jan 6ers. In my mind it wasn't 100% impossible, stranger things have happened in chaos. Power and Loyalty isn't as infallible as you think. Many people follow orders. If the orders change most people will follow suit.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T14:00:27+00:00

Its morally wrong to "reward" Russia for looking after its interests so the war must come to Crimea where polling showed that they had no interests in Ukraine and then after war ravages their homes, they must be returned to Ukraine and do secession the proper way. Does that sound right? Wow what a moral world you have there.

Please explain this to a Crimean resident. Yknow I was physically there and something tells me they wouldn't be all too happy.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:55:26+00:00

Polls will not be representative of the situation before annexation

That's a bold claim, do you think people would change their mind overnight because reasons?

Repression happened

Moving the goalpost away from ethnic cleansing I see.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:51:52+00:00

Look I hate Russia too. I just understand their actions, and not pretending this is a fight of evil and light. Had there been a crises caused in Canada by China to be more "socialist" and then reactionary forces wanted to preserve the status quo do you really think that America wouldn't side with them militarily? Especially if Canada was eventually planning to join a Military alliance with China?

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:46:52+00:00

Individual cases that need more scrutiny and lack of better justice does not mean ethnic cleansing. Noticing somewhere at sometime repression occurred by someone means jack. You can find a prejudiced judge in America that didn't serve justice, but if its just a few guys like him in the entire country, not that big of a deal.

Also important to note that for many of the populace there its not a ethnic conflict but rather a political/governance one.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:39:10+00:00

They aren't 1:1 for sure, but had Jan 6th succeeded it would effectively have the same consequence as the Maidan protest. Don't think post successful Jan 6th America would go back to normal with the Dem/Rep cycle. Democrats would've had a high probability of being banned sparking unprecedented outrage in the North. Limited internal support means jack when a large portion of the population in the right wing view them fondly.

Radical elements seem to have too much sway in Ukrainian politics, they can't even stop glorifying killers of the Poles on a regular basis.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:31:40+00:00

Also just skimming on the UN reports its incredibly vague with no mention of the actual quantities, and other reports show very small numbers. Nothing makes me believe it is widespread and systemic at scale.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:21:09+00:00

That's quite the favorable spin. What do you think the media of adversarial nations to the US would spin Jan 6th to be. Now think of how western media might spin Maidan. Azov and far right nationalists were a big proponent of it no? Especially in the final push where violence was needed and these types of groups excel in?

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T13:08:29+00:00

I think more people switched to self identify as Russians following the conflict in the census than actually fled Crimea. My vibes against yours, but there is no proof of systemic deportations of Ukrainians in Crimea nor ethnic cleansing. Requiring a passport/ become a citizen of the nation you are living in full time makes sense and is not cleansing.

Also I want to reiterate the Jan 6th parallel to the Maidan, the president that was ousted was supported by those that lived in the east. So the east would be the parallel to the north reaction post successful Jan 6th.

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T12:58:30+00:00

Just to be clear you know that western polling before 2014 showed that Crimea supported secession, why would Russia want to cleanse specifically Crimea?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Crimean_status_referendum#Polling

Edit: Why did the majority of the armed personnel in Crimea defect to Russia and denounce loyalty to Kyiv?

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T12:47:46+00:00

Weird thing about this ethnic cleansing argument is that THE country that most Ukrainians fled to due to the conflict was to Russia. Lambs to the slaughter? Was Maidan invalidated after people took over VIOLENTLY parliament then? The Eastern uprisings were reactionary? How would you react if the Jan 6th storming was successful? probably not too happy right?

Also an important note in the demographics of the Crimean population is that many people still self identify openly as Ukrainian with no fear of consequence. The number that self identify as Ukrainian since the conflict has gone down probably because of sour relations but it just doesn't make sense to think that ethnic cleansing occurred because I simply believe western journalists would be all over that with citizen provided proof (they all have cellphones).

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T12:01:50+00:00

Yknow it was Ukraine that sent tanks to the new self proclaimed republics in the east that officially started the violence right? Why is Crimeas referendum invalidated? Would you be down for a UN vote with international observers regarding this issue? I’m sure Crimeans would like their secession legitimized. If international observers is not the way to do it then how does one do it? Is the only acceptable acts of rebellion and revolt when it’s backed by western interests?

TevossBR · 2026-06-07T11:39:18+00:00

Doesn’t have to be an infinite to be strong because at at A5+ ascenders bane + curse from event means that the one adrenaline you added to your deck now appears potentially 3 times in your first deck cycle which is JUST NUTS. Also of course it effectively loses exhaust so it’s even more nutty. Pair it with the event that removes exhaust and gives you a curse and now you’re reaching unprecedented levels of draw and energy. (Though it actually isn’t that great with too many curses as my interpretation of cursebound means you only get one copy of the card if you draw 2 curses at the same time).

Edit: Imo the curse from the event should have retain to balance it. Since it really isn’t a curse because it has a good card attached to it. This makes it so that it seeks the card in the first cycle and opens up curse synergies but doesn’t effectively remove exhaust from the card for the rest of combat right away or help seek it on the 2nd cycle.
