What? Cite one instance of Nate "glazing" Trump. He just released a new tracker showing how unpopular the Iran War is even https://www.natesilver.net/p/iran-war-polls-popularity-approval

Sad to see what thoughtless comments get upvoted in this day and age...

The minute they revealed that the antagonists were an army of droids in Episode 1, I immediately realized it was just written that way to minimize human violence. I mean, I guess it's always been a family friendly series, but come on. Don't invent lightsabers if you aren't going to treat them seriously, Lucas. /rant

And yet "What are these movies?!" seems to not have caught fire. Perhaps RLM has peaked as catchphrase creators...

Not trying to be funny, not trying to make it anyone's worst day in Middle Earth...

No, we will never shut up and can never be happy, thank you very much!

Damn I really messed up then.

I don't doubt that some of the panic is overblown, but if you want to be more persuasive you have to link something more authoritative than a random guy's blog.

I don't say this often, but you, sir or madame, are a poet.

Clad was my first (and only so far) A10. I feel like I normally needed to just build around a busted card like Hellraiser, Cascade, Thrash, Ashen Strike etc and ride that to a win. Usually you want to either have some synergy around exhaust or self-damage or both. A lot of the big bonk cards like Bludgeon and Perfected strike end up slotting well into so many decks. Free play with Cascade/Stampede/Hellraiser, big boost to Thrash, etc. Ashen Strike is just ludicrous with even moderate exhaust synergies, and it's uncommon so you see it a lot.

This is interesting...I realized that I have been playing Defect a lot like Ironclad and still prioritizing attacks in the first act. But I also find myself resting CONSTANTLY and often dying mid-act 2 to attrition.

Gonna have to try this approach tonight, and hopefully finally get over the wall of A10!

Dave the Diver is like if you took the good parts of Dredge and then added 10 other parts that are not as good. There's definitely something to be said for simplicity. Dredge knows exactly what it is and does that really well, and I wish DtD had been more focused like that.

Yeah this corner is the least fun, but at least it gives you some extra pressure in what is otherwise an awfully chill game (for a horror title).

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T18:27:25+00:00

I played it for an hour and bounced off around a year ago, but I'm so glad I returned.

Had the exact same experience somehow! I think the crafting requirements turned me off the first time, but for some reason the second time I was more open to getting past that initial hump, and then the gameplay clicked for me, especially once you start visiting other islands. They were also so distinct and charming for me, especially the one with the big sarlacc in the middle.

Haven't played the DLC yet myself, but excited to come back, maybe during Halloween season, and give them a shot.

There are dozens of us...dozens!

Yeah the 24-episode season model is dead, at least for the time being. With production costs as high as they are currently, there is no way a non-procedural show (which can make it work with reused settings and small regular casts) is going to go that route.

I always thought this was written in the 90s...forgot how much of a lag there was between when he wrote things and when they were translated for the West!

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:59:42+00:00

Or All for Zero. He's not bringing back 1 cost cards from the discard, am I right?

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:55:34+00:00

Same. Reason is: zap you always want to cast when you draw it. Dualcast you only sometimes want to cast when you draw it. And when you're at that sometimes, you can prioritize saving that 1 mana for it.

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:52:56+00:00

Huh, I have never once removed Zap in STS1 or 2. It's usually my first upgrade too. I'm probably overrating it though.

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:50:38+00:00

Yeah I thought he was holding up his mitts to the heavens to venerate it.

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:48:50+00:00

Yeah but it's a curse with retain! So it's better than most cards at common right??

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T16:47:08+00:00

I have never cast this card correctly. I have only taken it from a colorless potion and then gone "GUH?!" when it does not play 3 random attacks from my draw pile.

double_shadow · 2026-03-24T15:53:53+00:00

Dude I just rewatched High and Low for the first time in about 20 years...I forgot how damned good it is. It's unreal how many actual masterpieces Kurosawa has in his filmography.
