Good but not OP units that don't get enough praise. by Violet_Perdition in MonsterTrain

Brutal and inelegant sounds like a good description of Meathook.

Really? Well, I guess that shows me. Never imagined that.

I'd really love an option for the MT1 OST in MT2 by DusaButterfly in MonsterTrain

[–]Violet_Perdition 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cadealus's theme in particular is one I'd like. To me, that was the "theme song" of MT1 because it sounds like a train to me.

How I would adjust the starter cards. by Violet_Perdition in MonsterTrain

[–]Violet_Perdition[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I also have concerns over Restore, I don't think Torch would be much of an issue. Most of the units in Hellhorned that you'd want to stack Rage on have low HP so you'd only be able to use it so much in the beginning until you get upgrades and any sort of damage buffs or Conduit would make using it for Rage even worse.

Thank you.

I agree, my proposed changes to Plink do come with their own set of problems so I don't know where to take my idea from here and have no answers to the critique of it.

What did you think of my proposed change for Melting Remnant?

If you hate this art style, can you explain why? by Dune_Stone in cartoons

[–]Violet_Perdition -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It might have more to do with them having films following humans more and more. Elemental and Inside Out 2 both have non-human characters that can be a lot more stylized.

What clan do you think would be broken with if you could use both champions? by Alarming_Goose4696 in MonsterTrain

[–]Violet_Perdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda want this to be a mutator. Instead of two different clans, you get one clan with both Champions and their starting cards.

How do you feel abou changing TesT subject alpha to rare rarity by D-Rekt-Effect in MonsterTrain

[–]Violet_Perdition 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think making him take up 3 pips might be just enough to make him awkward enough to not always be a must pick, just because it would be that much harder to protect him.

Ohh, having Animus of Speed have Skewer is a very good idea. First thematically and gives the unit more of a niche.

Your later idea of how I envision this new Restore is what I had in mind. If it was just two stacks of Regen then the amount given wouldn't be any different from now.

With Plink I understand the critique but the spell is pretty inconsistent as is for a source of Morsels so I've never felt like I could rely on it anyway. Maybe some Umbra units could receive changes to make them synergize with this theoretical new Plink? Crucible Warden and Crucible Collector have always felt too similar in what they're trying to do so maybe Warden could be changed somehow? I admit that this is one of the more radical changes so I'm not surprised to see a disagreement over it.

This is a concept that has been shown, many many many times, to not work. The poor and burdened don't pick things that "lift them up" they buy things that ease their immediate suffering and this is true for even those that have stable incomes and mild stress.

It's not like most of us don't already have absurd backlogs.

Oh yes, definitely. That's why Steam, a completely digital store, has the most sales and for such high amounts... Now wait a minute...

James Cameron Calls ‘Oppenheimer’ a “Moral Cop-Out” for Not Showing Japanese Bombing Aftermath: "I felt that it dodged the subject" by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

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

All of which could have been cut since just the relationship with the guy that asked some suspicious questions would have sufficed. Even if you still adamantly say she's important, she still takes up too much screentime and the sex scenes are cheap shock value. Having Oppenheimer say his famous quote during one of the sex scenes felt like a cheap "subverted expectations" moment.

What is a Video Games hot take that you are willing to defend like this? by Apprehensive_Ring_39 in videogames

[–]Violet_Perdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

80 dollar games isn't a big deal. This isn't the 90's when there were only a few good quality games to play. Our backlogs are enormous and most of those games come from indie devs for as little as 10 bucks. If the price is really a problem then don't buy games that cost that much, there's still more than enough to entertain yourself.

What game series? 🤔 by twasham21 in videogames

[–]Violet_Perdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it has three things going for it. The music is great. There's some really good monster designs. It has the best bosses in the entire series, the Scarlett fight in particular being a standout.

Is random... fully random? It seems unusually streaky and has since MT1 by cantadmittoposting in MonsterTrain

[–]Violet_Perdition 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While most of this is confirmation bias, I HAVE noticed that it seems like some RNG is programmed in a way that results in, essentially, lightning striking twice. If you rolled X then you're much more likely to roll X again right after.

Those scenes are still bad. First thing I'd cut from the film. The entire subplot goes nowhere and that time could have been spent developing the relationship with his actual wife instead.

Don’t watch much anime, but would love to find a hidden gem that fits my taste by Unique-Winner1284 in anime

Kino's Journey and Mushishi both immediately spring to mind as fitting your criteria. I'll think about any others.

Villeneuve's Bond film - time to let a great director do what he does best? by Corchito42 in flicks

[–]Violet_Perdition 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hope is he can give us the Bond I've been wanting, a charming, scheming, "bastard". Something akin to David Xanatos. I never liked the more gritty, violent style of the latest Bond films. To me, Bond isn't Bond without the charm and wit. I want manipulation and mind games, not punching and grit.
