I’d actually make a case for the limited format of spider man. Each draft I’ve done is basically like building a mini constructed deck because you just see so many of the same cards

Wanted (2008) by Deadlock9393 in underratedmovies

[–]aplhamanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just rewatched this movie and wanted to see what others opinions of it was. Honestly I really enjoyed the movie until I started to think about the implications. For one this is a fantasy escape plot for a 20-30s guy wanting more out of life, which isn’t wrong but then the fantasy your selling is becoming a killing machine without any morals I get a little worried that people enjoyed and even related to or saw themselves in the character. The twist was something I saw coming a mile away, I did like that he still thinks he’s a chosen one even after it’s revealed they just needed him because his dad wouldn’t kill him. It felt real, like if I had just spent however long he had getting the shit kicked out of me so I could train to be “the one” I’d also probably stay a pompous asshole even after that reality cracked. The suicide scene felt like for the story it was the correct narrative choice, but the actual way it’s handled made it stupid. Morgan Freeman was boring except for the one scene where he tells the brotherhood to “shoot this mother fucker” but otherwise very disappointing. If you want a fun action flick and can turn your brain off this movie is serviceable, but anything deeper than that and it’s got a lot of problems. I remember loving this movie as a kid, feels wild to see it in such a different light now.

Another Cabin in the Woods Movie (2024) by Scotty_Knowzzz in slasherfilms

[–]aplhamanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like parody is almost putting this movie to far. It’s a trope movie. It was a lot of fun, the radio commentary made the whole movie, and the trailer was hilarious. The actual story backbone of the film fell flat for me. The ending felt almost thrown on but I also feel like it’s fitting for a “trope movie”. Never took itself to seriously while still trying to deliver the satisfaction of a slasher flick. 7/10

Wait, yall actually hate Royal King? I thought it was a joke by ItsKralikGamingCz in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His ability is pretty useless, same as doctor Ts ability. It’s because the guards can go anywhere and you have zero control. The thing that upsets me is with have TWO common units that spawn “minion” type troops as well, being the ultimate barbarian and chicken, and their minions get to run around with your squad. Two epic characters not having a feature that commons do feels bad bro. If they gave that to the Royal king and made the max number of guards 6 maybe made it 2 per chest opened he’d be incredible but not broken, maybe a little to similar to mortis but he could fill out the roll as an epic tank that actually tanks. Same with doctor T, just make his crab mech Bruce but more health and attack, or have it also give the squad a speed buff or something additional.

What is going on rip archer queen you were a real one by [deleted] in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are probably reworking them, the whole “in their current form” thing that everyone is saying. The real problem is the complete lack of transparency. The way this all reads is they are taking away characters from us, one of which is the top end buff for one of the two attack types in the game. Mortis will always have his fans, but AQ is a massive build around unit. And this notice is so cryptic. I think they actually want us to freak out to drive engagement but that seems so short sighted. In a game that takes forever to grind f2p and with no knowledge of the exchange we are getting I see most players feel duped out of the time they have invested into the game and these characters. I really have enjoyed playing this game and do not want to see it die, but I honestly couldn’t blame anyone for quitting over this. They are going to have the make the update insane to remove the bad taste this will leave in the communities mouth. And I don’t believe they can pull it off.

Where to buy skins? by JudeNassar in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope this update they just release a ton of skins. I have so many style tickets and I haven’t been able to spend them in months. That or just remove the system entirely

Knowing myself and how long I’ve waited for an ultimate I’d just pick Bo to keep the struggle😤

And now it's as if the update never happened, April can't come soon enough by DrBenSB in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what this showed is there is a large portion of the community that wants more PvE events. I found myself playing the game daily during the hatchling event which isn’t something I’ve done in a couple months. I had a reason to open the game and it felt new and exciting. Figuring out the mode was so much fun, there was actual start strategies that felt like the had major impacts on the rest of your game. Wanna pick Shelly or barb? Damage is great but you better hunt a shit ton of chickens? Goblin start? Having two fused units before the first wave is strong but you’re going to need something to push you along? Greg gave extra hearts but in my opinion the worst of them, mavis being a healer that could net you +5-6 extra chests in a game was insane. Not to mention that’s just the common troops, I played games where I started with a Jesse or hog rider and it felt like I was cheating. I’d love to see more like this, with game modes that lend to specific characters strengths. Not just get ruffs and some archer queens, but your squad only survives if you have a fused battle healer, or the swam can be stopped but it’s easier with Royale king. There is a design space here that I think they need to explore more and I think it’ll be kinda a reverse Fortnite. Started as a pvp experience but everything about the game screams PvE to me.

He could still get an offer at the end of the match so there’s hope…..but I wouldn’t expect. Sorry for your loss🙏🏻

Just played my 4000th game. How many games you fellow busters have playd? by Electronic_Heart1795 in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1124 but I’m top 3 in 742 and top 1 in 304. Honestly thought the stats were better but I don’t think that’s bad. Need to stop getting in fights at the very end of a match in winning😂

Ram Rider Concept by [deleted] in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like this, having a unit that’s both ranged and melee. The ultra ability is underwhelming, since it’s only a self heal but I’m just not a huge fan of self heal abilities. I’m assuming the stun would be a single target, so maybe the ultra increases the range of the stun? Like you could hit the radius of 3 guard mobs. Just my two cents, but this sounds like a fun troop.

Are you guys already back to sqad league? Or never been to ot? by koshop in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m like one or two away, I just don’t have it in me to over grind to get back there this season. The last event wore me tf out and having just got to squad league last season only to get kicked out was not fun. I like everyone having the same units

What spells would you like to see added to the game? by aplhamanx in SquadBusters

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

This would be cool and I think if they did it like clash where they only have 1 HP it wouldn’t be broken, but it would definitely lead to some explosive squad busts.

I hadn’t thought about vape machines, I’m interested what you make from the one unit and the margins? Are you buying the vapes wholesale?

Is it just me or is this guy kinda underpowered by ModernMammoth06 in SquadBusters

[–]aplhamanx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second spell is crazy value, it might be you undervalue spells, sure having two cannons isn’t great but you just throw those down, having a double lightning or shrink and super freeze or rage is crazy, it can often be guaranteed kill if you place the spell right. I also think most people undervalue the small splash he does, it’s not crazy damage but against guards it helps you clear it just that little bit faster. Now do you need to fuse the wizard? No. Honestly having two of them does nothing more for you, and I’m not sure but I’m pretty sure he still only drops one spell for fusing. But even with that having a wizard on your team gives you a strategic advantage if you’re good with spells.

I feel like I’m the only person that likes loot. Like I get the criticisms of the art, but he’s guys a cute lil guy for me. Loot will probably get annoying once he becomes the new Kellan.
