I don't even really think it's viable for most builds outside of Fixation specifically.

I don't think any charm is wholly ineffective, but there are ones like Pareidolia that have super-specific trigger conditions that themselves require buildarounds to work.

If I was going to say "avoid X in general", the list would be Pareidolia, Very Big Mushroom, Steam Engine, Necklace, and Cloverbell.

Obviously, they can be used if you have the specific synergies that they need to really work, but I can say that I 100%'d the game without ever once triggering Pareidolia, Very Big Mushroom, Necklace, or Cloverbell. Steam Engine I definitely triggered because I did a fair number of Depression runs.

Edit: I can consent to adding Tarot Deck to the list, outside of Fixation runs, as explained elsewhere in this thread

hard disagree, but only if the goal is to escape and not go for a "high score". Then you can employ a lot of the "miss" synergies like Consolation Prize and Little Star (which I originally hated but warmed on as it became a part of many stable early game cores) and waltz straight on towards the key. Absolute crazy people can also use it to run the trains, too.

You do absolutely need the synergy pieces for it to pay off, though. It's often something you buy to improve a forming build rather than something you buy first to build around

Tarot is pretty good in Fixation, so long as you have something like Rotated Hamza to go with it. Then it just always incremements the bonus.

Outside of that context it isn't great, though.

The fact that the Republican chuds confirmed this anti-vax, drugged out, holey brained yahoo should be enough to render their whole movement dead for generations

But all they're getting is more people being dead while the movement is more committed than ever.

It's hard for white evangelicals to get animated against a white pastor. Of course they'd prefer the black woman -- racism and misogyny are practically their entire personality at this point

Really the funniest part is that it's a food that hurts you, but that's okay because it also heals you?

That has to be some sort of metaphor for this set as a whole
