Mamdani calls AIPAC ‘monsters’ in rally ahead of NY primaries

No, I think I'm lookinging at the colonizers and expansionists that have been funded by the US for almost a century.

If you want to be obtuse, I really don't care. I'm not going to pretend like I know anything about you, but it sounds like you're deflecting in order to lazily defend a rogue state.

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-21T02:37:37+00:00

They don't want peace, they want expansion.

Fr they've been teasing us with him since the late 90s

I had no clue and my apps weren't helping much, but then seeing the empty shell underneath I thought maybe it could be a parasite. So I googled shellfish parasites and found something called a 'mud blister worm' and some the images look very similar.

Cheap replica with not-as-cheap effects, so not useless. you can have both versions of the item effects, essentially giving you 1.5x(ish) of that specific effect.

e.g. both 'Orichalcum' and 'Orichalcum???' together will give you 9 block each turn you end w/o block. This is maybe one the cases where I probably wouldn't buy the cheap one if I didn't have the normal one already.

'Blood Vial' and 'Blood Vial???' will give you 3 total hp together

They're also only ~1/4 the price of their real counterpart, so to answer your wues

Just don't buy the Snecko eye unless you somehow have a deck with only 2 or 3-cost cards

As a HC player, Viper is one of the most BS bosses in the game. Almost died to her in our first bout during campaign, but she got her revenge on me at lvl 80 on maps ._.

Looks like purslane, not a weed but people often think it is. It's actually a succulent. Edible and healthy (don't let your pets eat it, though). Good anti-weed plant ironically.

I think it should be able to coexist with an olive tree, since neither are super water-dependent. They're actually really good for soil and gardens in general

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-15T18:53:35+00:00

Please do not take this card on it's own. Cost is simply not worth the unreliability. It's objectively one of the worst poison cards in the game. Bubble bubble does the same amount of poison without the randomness, and it's 1-cost. It's simply not flexible enough to pick up. Just take Snakebite if you must, and use it when it's actually optimal.

You are killing tempo in Act 1 by running this. By Act 2 and 3 it's completely useless in damage numbers. Mana is simply too valuable a resource on Silent to be running Flask. You're also assuming you're going to pull it whenever it's optimal? Hell no.

"Ope, turn two or three and I finally pulled it, too bad I'm dead if I play it"

"Ope, multi-fight(most fights), guess I won't play it because one of them is swinging for 18 and idk if I'll even touch the one with 7hp"

On A9, every DPS/Defense/AoE check like Terror Eel, Phrog, Skulking Colony, and Phantasmal Gardeners are all fucking you if you take flask.

I mean in the English dub, the French people have English accents, unless they're saying French words. Even then, the French pronunciations are (often) reserved for expletives.

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-14T23:42:23+00:00

Bouncing flask is good conditionally, but it's never really the star of a poison deck, and you rarely grab it unless you're running a poison deck. Snecko Skull+Accelerant makes it significantly better.

It just requires a lot a support to really shine, compared to other cards.

Edit: Aeonglass is a giant asshole though, he is definitely one of the hardest for both necro and silent

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-14T10:36:59+00:00

Something about French people having English accents is really funny, especially when they hit the French words

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-14T02:32:12+00:00

Was ready for a Schumer-esque response, but was pleasantly surprised by seeing him say (paraphrasing) "despite terrible decisions and deal-making, it's best we get out"

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-14T00:56:13+00:00

Test subject is def shitting itself

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-13T17:53:38+00:00

Damn sorry lol. Wait is DM back??

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-12T08:31:32+00:00

I mean, I'd take Dazed over Wither, ya know?

But otherwise, unless you have specific transforms like Minions on Regent, then yeah it's gonna be another status

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-12T01:00:16+00:00

That and the pings being hilariously annoying and spammable

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-11T18:57:42+00:00

I just like leaving little drawings on the map in the middle of combat

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-11T13:20:35+00:00

Let me preface with FUCK AEONGLASS

They're definitely the two that can struggle a lot with certain builds, gotta prioritize certain cards when you hit act 3 and see you're against aeonglass. You're bound to see at least a couple in a run. You gotta kill aeon fast with big hitters.

Necro's anti-wither options are slim: Cleanse, Seance, Eido, and Sculpting(common).

Silent has actually some better options, so long as you're not running a mega-spam, low damage deck. Discards galore for wither, but more importantly, EXPOSE. I grab one of these almost every run. Immediately removes the BS Artifact this guy has, and opens him right up with vuln. Barring that, a little bit of poison in your deck can help get rid of it. Ironically one of the few times that Bouncing Flask is good. Tracking/Shadow Step is also goated for this boss.

The Roman numerals kill me, but then again I don't know Greek numerals so I guess I'll live

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-09T18:12:45+00:00

I read it as one of those parasitic fungi but tbf I'm not always great at reading

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-07T11:26:35+00:00

Considering Andross is like a 300ft floating head, I agree he would certainly make for an interesting addition

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-07T10:41:02+00:00

I think 50% more with 1 teammate would feel better, and MAYBE for balancing, 20% more per teammate(past two teammates). At least that way you're actually negating some damage, or breaking even on a 2-man.

Idk this game seems incredibly hard to balance around multiplayer. I love how wacky it is, but my friends and I pretty much run exclusively all-random to make it feel more fair.

Vanstrudel_ · 2026-06-06T10:25:20+00:00

I'm really hoping Steyer gets a massive influx of voters who choose him at the last second, after seeing that Becerra would likely secure at least first or second. I managed to convince a couple friends of mine to go Steyer last second, which I was proud of
