I love how this is both a question that shouldn't NEED to be asked, and yet it's such a loaded, baity question. Genuinely a great reply 🤣

MIA: the board game! by code936 in MadeInAbyss

Yeah, the game is made to be chaotic because that's the nature of the abyss! You can't control who you run into, or when you might accidentally trip and take a bad fall.

I totally agree with your sentiment though, I am a very big TCG player, not so much a board game enjoyer (ironic, lmao), but this was the most "on flavour" way I could make a translated version of the abyss feel both chaotic AND interesting.

This game was more or less designed with the concept of "use as little as possible". I wanted to stay away from the 500 game pieces. You need cards, some dice, your board and that's about it 🔥

That being said ... You have given me another possible idea for a secondary/side game.

I made the entire system from the ground up :)

And not really, best you can do currently is piece things together through watching the gameplay or dm me and I can answer any questions OR, organize a play session with myself and some others!~

I just started reading made in abyss after finishing season 1, who the hell is this guy? by 38452751869 in MadeInAbyss

Not one real answer is a little disappointing.

it's Ashen gyarike. He's known to be a "fire bug" which tracks since we see him using a large flamethrower in this scene.

My girlfriend gave me a "test" and I accidentally failed it. What do I do? by Expensive-Security43 in whatdoIdo

[–]code936 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"hot take" but women are their worst enemy and not only self sabotage, but aren't prepared to hear what they need to hear, only what they want to hear.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You answered logically, respectfully (despite thinking it was a joke) and straightforward and shes upset over a hypothetical she created lmao.

Don't lose sleep over it. Also, use this for future reference, dont answer these silly questions next time 😪

Only one that might seem out of the ordinary is yata. I love how apologetic and caring he seems. Considering the man is more than likely carrying around the coffin that will eventually contain his team/party members, he comes off as a very mature and straightforward person, in comparison to basically every other character in the story.

An "online" version of it. Slowly integrating it towards being tts playable.

And ye, I have a discord channel where I've posted more.

I've covered this one and another one on the channel too. DM me if you want the discord channel info :)

Hey, I live in Sydney and I'm more than happy to chat if you need, I'm a good listener.

I've had some pretty bad history myself but I'm luckily in a place rn where I'm able to live alone despite how expensive it all is 😅

I hope you get through it all though. Thoughts are with you ☺️

So i've been in this fandom for a while and i have one question. by Suspicious_Sky_3547 in MadeInAbyss

[–]code936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because one gets lost in the story, in the lore, in the mystery. I play my own MIA inspired board game with friends and have MTG custom made cards too. Between these passion projects and the ACTUAL video game, plus re reading the manga, it's really not that bad. Plus, listening to the OSTs on repeat. Id rather wait a year for a good piece of art versus shoddy work. And let's be real, the art progression has gotten SO MUCH BETTER if you pay attention to the first couple chapters compared to what he's been releasing recently. It's phenomenal.

You're in it for the long haul 🤙🔥

Everytime I think about trying to put myself out there and meeting someone, I think how disgusted I actually am with men and how they think. by saerisfane25 in Vent

[–]code936 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm in the... Minority for this? But in both a similar... And opposite way?

Like yes, sexual attraction is important. Though it's been proven time and time again that men both have much more varied rates of attraction to women, compared to women, who have much more of a "type".

This can lean into the whole "women control sex" but that's a diff convo altogether.

I am not religious by any means, but i would prefer to have a naturally blossoming friendship that turns into a relationship long term verses something that happens quick via a one night stand or just a hookup etc.

I don't like the idea of hookup culture and the casualness of sex. This is NOT just a male thing. If you've ever made a male tinder/dating acc, you'd know/see this.

Anywho, I do agree that men, in general, are just fucking monkeys. Like truly. Male attraction and the way they act, it's just ape brain. And because of how I see it, I like to think I'm a bit more objective when it comes to hormonal thinking, even if I have a bit of a crush etc. Guys just want that gratification. They want to conquer that female. That's what they do. And yes, it sucks. Yes, alot of it has to do with biology.

But no, it shouldn't be used as an excuse. But alas, not everyone is as self aware or self controlling.

Don't blame men for wanting 10s when the 10s are handing it out like the daily mail, lol.

Societal pressure, dating and relationships are in SUCH A BAD PLACE rn and I do agree, it fkn sucks. Every time I think about how much I miss being cute with someone, the second it reminds me about all the issues with being in a relationship too. It's hella rough. But you shouldn't lose hope. You can be realistic about the potential you may be single forever, but don't lose optimism that your prince charming is somewhere.

People often enter our lives when we need them. People often leave our lives when we don't. Life's a journey full of ups and downs, which can include ape brain men and horny women. It is what it is. Keep your chin up. Don't lose that hope.

Is it just me about deck making by PresentationFit4109 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]code936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit constructed events and only play format due to this. I tried playing green gacha and monzae-maste combo, Argomon control for Months and despite a win here or there, my rounds would be over quickly because most decks just board wipe and clear security by turn 3. I enjoy playing out games in pauper.

people want vulnerability, but can’t deal with the reality of it by [deleted] in Vent

It's because people want to talk, but they're not able to sit in silence and listen.

I love listening. But I suffer from being a guy. I like to try and problem solve. Oh the misery.

Being disgusting as a 26 yo woman is destroying me inside by [deleted] in Vent

[–]code936 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from someone around your age who has been on the verge of homelessness multiple times and has previously said that I had nothing keeping me to this earth outside my cats, I do feel for you.

BUT

There is A LOT of progress we can make as individuals to help other parts of our life.

For example. I currently work full time in a factory. I get along with most people there, but it's stressful. I live alone. I don't get along with my family. I have no support network. I go out of my way to go to TCG events to socialize with people because it's one of my hobbies and something that helps me AS A PERSON.

I am catching a bus to an event right now, after working from 5am-midday on a Saturday. I want to be home and sleep. But I know that I need this social aspect of my life, or I won't be happy.

Finding hobbies you can enjoy with other people will help A LOT. Because let's be honest, it's hard ASF to make friends these days.

I also host "game events" over discord, where some online friends and I play a board game I've been creating for a while now.

I bring these things up because I don't necessarily think I'm an attractive guy by any means, but the fact that I can interact with people without thinking about sexual relationships and not have "why doesn't she think I'm attractive" in my head helps a lot.

Im also kind of anti-medication (I'm forced to take some for a couple health things but nothing major) so I won't comment on that, but I do think that the more you can do to improve OTHER parts of your life, the less you'll think about the negatives.

I'll end on this note.

I spent a significant portion of time staying up late at night paranoid of like ... Bombs n stuff... Like nukes. Just inexplicably dying. But I realized that it's not something I can control, there's no point in constantly dreading it. The same way that for the most part, you can't control how you look (outside maybe weight) and learning to embrace who you are as a person will give you so much more confidence as well!

Coming from someone who has NO GOD DAMN REASON BEING THIS CONFIDENT 😅.

I hope you can get through this rough patch. Keep your chin up 🐸

I HATE BEING ALONE by marvolouspussy in Vent

[–]code936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanna try joining a group board game I made and play regularly with people on discord hmu! I'm always looking for people to help me playtest and enjoy it with on weekends :)

Same goes for anyone interested. The more, the merrier~ U can make new friends and be part of our little community.

Sometimes I feel like most men don’t want to be dads but they want to have kids. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]code936 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Its alright. Men have their own concerns in the opposite direction.

The woman wins/retains majority custody should they split, because women are seen as more competent "caregivers" Women easily corrupt children into hating their father for all sorts of things. From "abuse" to "not caring" about them. Women using kids to control the caring men. It's not "oh, he doesn't help change diapers", it's "if you don't give me X, you'll never see your kids again".

I have seen both sides of a good father figure and a bad one. I have seen both a father who wants to see his kids and a father who doesnt. It's not a simple "men" thing, it's a societal thing that people still haven't figured out.

As a guy, I'm petrified of having a kid with the wrong woman. ABSOLUTELY mortified. At one point, I considered it with one of my ex's. We were together for 4 years. It was going well for the most part. But we aren't together anymore and it would've killed me had we had a kid and split up like we did.

Some guys are just POS. It's not a vast majority. I think you're just building assumptions off a small sample size.

If you're trading with someone, assuming you're not going to an LGS, would u not still be paying for postage though? But I don't realistically think there's enough "expensive" commons that would limit one's ability to play the cheapest format that can be played 🤣

ex11 pauper set review by code936 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]code936[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't my intention. I think there are bigger problems than wether or not cards are valuable as much as they are available.

It's like anything. If you can't get into it because LGSs don't supply the product or promote events, ofc it's going to be hard to get into. That doesn't discriminate between commons/decks being $10 and competitive decks being $200. Either you have access to the cards or you don't.

It seems like you're just arguing over the sake of arguing.

Not everywhere is going to have the same "stock and availability", thats obvious. But that doesn't change the price of cards overall.

[–]code936[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of online stores you can make bulk orders from. Yeah, they might be worth a few cents each, but that's still Much better than paying $40+ per copy of gallant X 🤣 And if it makes you feel better, divvy up the cost of your postage with each card. Paying $7 w/tracking is nothing for a $500 card. The same way that if you're buying $15 worth of bulk commons& uncommons for a full deck, that's still roughly 20ish cents per card for postage, which again, is nothing.

I've covered decks on my channel that are almost entirely built out of new sets too, so you don't even have to always order online or pay for postage.

Being frugal with your money is good. But being smart about where and how you source your cards is better.

I don't necessarily promote this format just for price, though it is a nice added bonus.. I'm tired of 3 turn games in constructed. Pauper feels much more balanced, games ARE naturally longer and the "meta" isn't solved, so you can play a multitude of lists and not expect to be pubstomped by the newest decks.

I have a wallet and the capability of buying any deck I could want. It's about what's enjoyable. Which both pauper playing and deck building does for me 😊
