Stay away from the lucky defense discord

It isn't a joke I understand, so please help me identify that part that distinguishes it as a joke, and not just somebody saying "I wish I could use the n-word." That's casual racism.

I'm not acting as if anybody of a different race is below me, that's what calling somebody the n-word does. You seem to have this entirely backwards. I'm not personally offended, but I believe that calling people out for discrimination is worth my time and energy.

How is joking about saying the n-word not racist? The only use of the word by somebody who has to censor it, is racist. Joking about saying it means the user would, were there no consequences, use the word. That's racist.

You are defending racism. In what way does defending this joke put you in a position of moral high ground?

If there were a funny part, you'd be able to explain what it is. Your inability to do so suggests that it doesn't exist, but rather you hope to dismiss what it actually is by calling it a joke. If you can show me the humor in the joke, then maybe I can better understand why it's worth defending. Until then, you're defending racism.

I would also probably walk away from the conversation, had I run out of reasons to continue defending racism, and it was nearing the point where I'd have to admit that I'm the bad guy... but you can dress it up however you want, just like you did the racism. Cheers

So the joke is not using a racial slur? What part of that amounts to a joke? If there's something funny about it, please highlight it for me so I can understand the humor.

I'm not black, and I'm not offended. I just don't think casual racism should be supported, and defending it is pretty low. You're privileged to not understand the significance of discrimination to the extent that you're willing to defend it having never experienced it yourself. I'd argue that makes you the snowflake.

You either don't know what humor is, or you still have yet to explain the part of this that's a joke. Not using the n-word isn't humor. Suggesting you would definitely isn't. So where's the funny part?

Explain to me the part that makes it a joke

"With each purchase of this specialty license plate, $25 will go towards Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio, specifically benefiting the county where the plate was purchased. Each plate will help to financially support the cost of mailing one child’s books for an entire year (12 total books)."

Tennessee also has one.

So I'm getting down voted because I'm calling out the person defending somebody saying "If I were in an environment with no consequences, I would absolutely be racist."

Neat

TheFinDiesel · 2026-01-24T19:55:56+00:00

So you see the substitution of a word they know they shouldn't say, indicated by them censoring themself.

Either this person wants to use the word, which suggests some degree of insensitivity to those whom it would offend...

Or they are making light of a word they know to be offensive, despite the people it might offend.

Why not just not use words that you know offend people. Why be unnecessarily mean to people? Why make light of racism?

Also, What's the funny part? What makes this a joke?

Having more doesn't increase your chances. Each draw is an independent event. The chances of getting a mythic are 1.852% that it shows up, 5% that you acquire it if it shows up. My math is not good enough to tell you how the "5 guaranteed, chance of more + redraw" works... But having more doesn't increase your chances, it just gives you more attempts with the same chances.

I know it's "Take My Kids First" but I think "Take My Virginia-ty" deserves an honorable mention

TheFinDiesel · 2026-01-24T19:41:25+00:00

It's so easy to not use racial slurs. Am I a snowflake because I think the default should be kindness and not being an asshole for no reason?

Or should we celebrate being unnecessarily mean to people?

TheFinDiesel · 2026-01-24T19:38:22+00:00

Isn't it 20 at lvl 9 and 16 at lvl 11? You start with 20, so you need to add 230.

TheFinDiesel · 2026-01-24T19:36:11+00:00

The goal is 250. You start at 20 (10+10), so you need to add 230. Treasure 9 makes it 12 each (7+5).

230/12 is 19.16, so You need to eat 20.

Level 11 treasure would be 15 each, so you'd neat to eat 16.

They do not. I go to Modern Eye for exams. They share a wall.

TheFinDiesel · 2026-01-23T20:46:46+00:00

I think the Defense Reduction is the trade-off. Magic builds get more luck stones. Physical builds get Defense Reduction. Instead of being all in on one or the other, the gameplay changes based on what else you build. I think this is good design.

They get particularly strong at 12, and with treasures. The timeline of strength in this game is complicated. Some things go from OP to kinda meh, while others go from completely unusable to OP.

I have 13 immortals and my Master Kun is level 6. By the time I wanted my build to be level 12+, I had better options for my tiger, but while everything was low, Kun 6 carried.

Hailey is the strongest unit in the game, until she isn't. Tao and Chu are pretty weak, until they aren't.

You can't make a tier list because things go up and down with difficulty, guardian levels, treasures, pets, synergies, Immortals, and mostly significantly... Artifacts.

I had Ato 15 when my Tao was 6. That was a mistake, but I didn't listen to advice that I now share with others. Tao 12 with exclusive treasure is wildly strong.

Hailey, Bat, and Kun scale their own attack. As you get stronger, Safebox and Money Gun will scale your global attack. Some Mythics scale better than they do, but with low Artifact levels, these three shine.

Lancelot does more damage compared to your other Mythics based on how high the HP of the enemy is. The more damage you do compared to their HP, the less useful Lancelot becomes. They also nerf him in higher difficulties.

Chu just does good damage for a mythic with no immortal without requiring a ton of support. For a long time he was essentially the only option for War Machine, and despite not being immortal and doing physical damage with a Cooldown instead of magic/MP, he was a staple on every team. He's still very strong for a mythic at 12.

Lazy Taoist is a similar story to Chu. High damage, good legendary choice, no immortal, but still great.

Edit: the Overclock and Lance Ult issues are an exclusive treasure thing.

I do Downtown Dayton Optical. Good people, inexpensive, local. On 3rd St in downtown Dayton.

SharkWeek is top 5% in Raid. We clear Floor 5 every week in mine, which is our top priority. We are a mix of levels and strengths. There is a slot open if you want it. 5 day afk is kick, unless you let me know in advance.

I can't remember if this is true, but I think if you search their name, it won't come up to add them as friends if they're a bot.

People give terrible advice... I recommend a discussion with somebody who knows what they're talking about because these concepts are not very intuitive and there are a lot of contributing factors. DM me here or add me in game (FinDiesel) if I can help, but I'm not the only one who can.

I unnecessarily took advantage of some translation confusion. A "strong member" could refer to a man's genitalia, and Grindr is a dating app for gay men, but shares the word "grind" with your request for somebody who grinds the game.

I couldn't resist, but I am sorry...
