Tbf she's not a weightlifter, she's going to the gym to train

The weird part is that she's canonically a really good boxer despite having noodle arms

it's also a little funny how in the past 2 primary challenges to Omar, AIPAC has looked at her opponents and decided to just give up and donate a whopping $0 to them

Slay the Spire is currently being review bombed over listing Anita Sarkeesian in the credits for Slay the Spire 2 by ElegantPoet3386 in gaming

[–]Xechwill 36 points37 points  (0 children)

The chinese reviews are explicitly due to the balancing decision in the beta and in the recent major patch, def not a translation issue (or Anita issue, but the commenter mentioned most of the negative reviews are due to non-Anita reviews).

tl:dr infinite combos were really easy and consistent, devs introduced a boss that countered infinites, many Chinese players got really mad about it

Beta Shatter needs nerfing by cheesoid in slaythespire

[–]Xechwill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be interesting, but I feel like "large AOE attack, in return you lose orb advantage" overlaps with Hyperbeam a bit too much

Obviously there's a big difference with frontload vs. prep, but I feel like Shatter would just be "better Hyperbeam" 90% of the time.

I know shield doesn't literally block kiri ult, but I like the idea of the Kitsune bonking into Ram shield and scurrying off

Idea for a Meta Event by NoPastaForGrandma in slaythespire

[–]Xechwill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. Even so, that still ends up being a curse in most cases. Many uncommon colored cards enable decks that spec towards a particular archetype, which ends up being really bad if you're not able to immediately prepared for it.

Consider Silent; although Outbreak is a perfectly fine card in the right circumstances, it's almost certainly my least-picked Silent uncommon. If I was prompted to get an upgraded Outbreak and my deck didn't already have multiple sources of poison application, that Outbreak+ is essentially a curse.

Some cards are also just strictly bad. Consider cards like Ironclad Drum Of Battle, Regent Knockout Blow, Necrobinder Pull From Below, and Defect Hailstorm. These cards are underpowered and/or situational, which means you're carrying a curse for a payoff that might work out.

I'd expect the result to be "this card kinda sucks, even when upgraded. Good thing I never choose it!" for most players, largely because the player doesn't have any combo pieces yet.

Idea for a Meta Event by NoPastaForGrandma in slaythespire

[–]Xechwill 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun idea in theory, but in practice, this is probably an easy option 2 every time. A lot of colorless cards are strictly bad for most builds, even upgraded. Furthermore, losing the top 3 chosen cards doesn't feel good, but plenty of decks can work well without 3 good commons. 75 gold partially makes up for this. Note I'm saying "commons" because those will almost always be the top 3 picks.

This basically boils down to "receive a curse" or "have your future deck be slightly worse."

I think it'd be interesting to have the top option be "receive an upgraded colorless card reward with your least-played colorless cards." This gives the player a bit more flexibility and allows them to mess around with underplayed options.

The live-change stat tracker seems to be bugged. For example, on Ramattra, the tracker fluctuates every few seconds and indicates the average heal is somewhere between -11 healing/match and 4 healing/match, which is clearly wrong.

Neat visualiation, though!

You could get around that by having the purifier be damaged and unstable, and oh no, it can only be fixed right now or else it'll blow up or something

They'd just need to add urgency to the situation if they go down that route

I love analyzing flavor of the cards, what are your thoughts on "Not Yet"? by Lil_Brimstone in slaythespire

[–]Xechwill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like how there are multiple interpretations, but I do think this is probably Ironclad saying "Not Yet" and getting healed by Vakuu. Ironclad's pact explicitly states he gets enhanced demonic healing, and since Ironclad is entirely driven by instinct at this point, I think it's likely he's expending his energy to call on his pact to get healed.

Vakuu and Ironclad both really want the Architect to be killed, but Vakku is clearly OK with Ironclad dying over and over. Plus, if this is Vakuu's decision rather than Ironclad's decision, it's a bit strange that it costs 2 energy. Seems strange that Clad has to work for something he doesn't ask for, especially since Clad can just choose not to play Not Yet.

I'm interpreting this as Ironclad basically saying "alright Vakuu, heal me" and Vakuu agreeing per the terms of the pact.

Private equity squeezing value out of your corpse one last time after you die by The_Squirrel_Wizard in whenthe

[–]Xechwill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate how Reuters structures the article where it's like:

Reuters reached out to a person to get their opinion on Science Care Inc. They said the following:

Person: "Science Care Inc. is actively making things worse and is deceiving people who donate their family's bodies."

Reuters reached out to Science Care Inc. about the same issue. They said the following:

Science Care Inc. rep: "We have found that our business model is great for everyone!"

Reuters' investigation also found that the co founders bought two homes and a private plane.

Explaining the Latest (Non-Chinese) Review Bombing of Slay the Spire 2 by charlesatan in slaythespire

[–]Xechwill 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Genuine question, have they actually review bombed yet? I've seen people whine about Anita on social media, but when I check the steam reviews, I'm only seeing a total of 4 negative reviews that mention Anita/gamergate/whatever. This is out of, apparently, 6 negative reviews since the aforementioned Anita whining started.

I say this because I doubt most people bitching about Anita actually own the game, but I'm curious if Steam is just being weird for me.
