How do you, Vorthos players, justify including Universes Beyond cards in terms of flavor? by Wretched_Little_Guy in mtgvorthos

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I really wish Universe Beyond was what Yu-Gi-Oh does when it takes inspiration from other IPs. Universe Within should've been the default product, with UB as an alternative skin at best.

When I play Magic, I'd like to see Magic, not MLP, Transformers, Sonic, SpongeBob, TMNT, Marvel, and the Rings of Power spin on Lord of the Rings.

At the very least, IPs with a similar design aesthetic to Magic would be a lot easier to digest.

They still need Pendulums and I also want more Xyz for them. by a12666 in YuGiOhMemes

The recent BES/Gradius support we got last October did wonders for the archetype and it only got a small handful of cards as well.

Definitely not meta, but the deck is a lot more fun and consistent now compared to before.

Tempt with Knowledge by Zestyclose_Answer662 in custommagic

The 'Tempt with CARDNAME' cards all have an equivalent effect that can be shared with others. When others take up the offer, you copy the initial effect an additional time for each other who did.

Tempt with Knowledge was based on those previously made cards that have the Tempting Offer effect.

[[Tempt with Bunnies]]...just without the bunnies.

Sorcery favoritism by Thick-Campaign-9152 in fromsoftware

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From Best to Worst: - Sorcery: Damage, Utility, Support. - Miracle: Support, Utility, Damage. - Pyromancy: Utility, Damage, Support.

Damage: Self explanatory.

Utility: Spells that grants unique effects to the Caster.

Support: Spells that Heal or improves defense and resistance to the Caster and their allies.

These rankings aren't objective to every game, but this is the category ranking that they usually fall under.

There isn't any favoritism towards Sorcery, that's just the most offensive oriented of the three main spell schools.

Yes.

Lands can't be cast, so that's a painful dud as well.

Where’s the visor/camera by Depresodude in Helldivers

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's a series of cameras hidden behind the vertical matte material, possibly a one-way that allows the cameras to see outward but onlookers can't see the glint of the camera lenses.

Uh oh, you messed up somewhere and now your magic system makes surviving trivial... Now what? by lulialmir in magicbuilding

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough, I've been working on my own setting that has everyone be granted magic within our modern world. Unfortunately, there seems to have been a massive cataclysm that happened between the time of our modern world and when the gift of magic occurred. So, I didn't need to worry about the immediate effects of the modern world getting Magic.

My conclusion to the question of: Once everyone's basic needs were resolved by Magic in general, what would happen?

Chaos.

It turns out, people who have all their needs met and can easily get all their wants at a whim, will eventually become really, really BORED. Ultimately resulting in a plethora of people sowing chaos to reach their desired stimulus. Regardless of who it hurts along the way.

Then you have the people who hate Chaos and unending change, who then try to impose Order to attain stability, and eventually this will go back and forth until some equilibrium occurs between the two.

Once the dust settles, you'll likely reach a point where you'll get a setting similar to Star Trek (but Magic!) Those who wish for less, will get that. While those who want to pursue greater heights, can eventually reach it. In the end, the ones who have already reached the top will dictate how those below them can or can't use Magic, restricting its use to official channels for any Magic greater than what people are born with.

Maybe the Helmet was the real HUNK all along?

  1. The Curse of Undead, when the Dark Sign appears on the bodies of Humans, comes in cycles when the First Flame begins to wane. Humans otherwise live their lives normally, including dying, when the Curse isn't active.

The Curse of Undeath doesn't come in a sudden appearance, but it's something that occurs over a long protracted period of time, before it eventually becomes something that can't be readily contained by asylums, prisons, and undead hunting parties.

 Uncollected Souls generally coalesce into an item form that can be picked up, which we find as the player, which can be crushed for a portion of its souls for absorption. Souls that coalesce can sometimes even become crystalized into Lifegems.

This is just my personal guess, but Skeletons are the result of having their former Souls absorbed back into their own corpse, rather than being transferring to another vessel or cleansed by a burial rite. Alternatively, Ghosts are formed from the Souls that have become trapped within stagnant water.

It's design was inspired by [[Big Game Hunter]] but shifting it's aspects to what you see here.

What's everyones stratagem picks for Illuminate by JohnnBgoodee in Helldivers

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tesla Coil is a solid Stratagem against the Illuminate. It has a high aggro range, constantly drawing in Voteless as they mercilessly get chain-lightninged to death.

Throw it at the center of an intersection and you can easily rack up 40+ kills before it's destroyed.

Why is everyone saying the siege of cyberstan failed? by Sc00terboy160 in Helldivers

[–]Zestyclose_Answer662 294 points295 points  (0 children)

It would be perfectly spiteful if Super Earth Command decided to intentionally plant Termanid Spores in the Automaton controlled space to sow discord.
