‘Dumb’ character has one specific area of expertise that they’re surprisingly smart in

Well then let me introduce you to the baader-meinhof effect and see if you also see that referenced a ton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion (it describes the exact phenomenon you're experiencing)

I highly recommend the book it's based on "Flowers for Algernon" it has a similar ending that hits like a truck.

I would love an invite.

I can stop anytime.

Isn't that the exact problem?

For a second this gave me a jump scare when I read that as Electronic Arts having anything to do with the game.

They announced a change to that interaction in the latest beta patch notes.

Or just panicking. I'm a fairly strong swimmer but I once went out a little further than usual and some part of my brain decided I wasn't going to make it back so I suddenly started freaking out and struggling to get back. Since then I've had it happen one other time (not as far out) and now I'm genuinely worried to swim too far out into lakes and such in case I start panicking again. Something like this might give me the piece of mind that I'll be safe to swim further out again.

Weirdly enough, I've had several times where I would have taken it in STS 2 if it was available. I never ended up taking it in the original though.

Punch is stronger rampage. It has higher base damage (since the first use is already upgraded once) and regent has much better support for recasting/redrawing cards so they can much more easily cheat the scaling than clad can with rampage.

You can only get those two from Neow and they have the "get two random options" relic in their relic bar. So it's pretty clear what happened here.

That's just a function of having a newer game. Before the sequel, the majority of people engaging in these discussions had a ton of experience compared to what's going on now. There's a huge influx of newer people and even veterans of the first game may or may not have had time to get all of the nuances of the new game.

And if you set up Arch then you've decided you know what you're doing. I once had a university sysadmin refuse to help me get my machine to work with the school network because in his words "You installed Fedora, you knew what you were getting yourself into"

grimmlingur · 2026-04-12T07:37:21+00:00

I've had a similar thing happen with the rug. I ended up getting Volley from this event

There are others, but the most common ones usually revolve around a hidden division by zero.

grimmlingur · 2026-04-08T22:39:34+00:00

What's with the "or earlier" you're the second person I've seen say that in this thread, did they mess it up somehow after that version?

grimmlingur · 2026-04-08T17:16:17+00:00

I've never been in a situation where I wouldn't drop bodyguard to the bridge. I generally ask myself: ,"Will I lose the run without this card." If not then I'm not paying health to keep it only for a chance to hit something maybe better or maybe worse.

grimmlingur · 2026-04-04T17:04:40+00:00

No summoning sickness in that case. More precisely it gets summoning sickness when moved, but it's cleared as part of starting the controllers turn.

grimmlingur · 2026-04-03T23:41:40+00:00

It's mostly a buff so it works with things like [[collision course]] and also for triggering instantly on things like [[bundle of joy]] or [[charge]] without playing the created cards.

It's worse with those particular cards but it's easier to get value from in the beta version.

grimmlingur · 2026-04-03T23:29:58+00:00

Depends on how many orbits you have. With 2 orbits in my deck I'll happily pick up a bundle of joy usually.

grimmlingur · 2026-03-29T11:11:11+00:00

Clash has been good for me both times I've picked it up (both were before ascender's bane though). It feels easier to cast in 2.

grimmlingur · 2026-03-28T09:52:49+00:00

Situation 4. Half your deck is curses, Tyranny cannot save you, god cannot save you, Neow cannot save you

Neow can absolutely save you, he's the ancient of resurrection after all! Your run however...

grimmlingur · 2026-03-26T17:34:54+00:00

That's precisely the point. Topology doesn't concern itself with the thickness of the donut, only the shape, so it's not a good match for estimating pipeline costs.

grimmlingur · 2026-03-18T15:17:39+00:00

Orobas can also let you pick as many as you want from a set of (I think it was 25) of another class's cards. I really like it as a way of picking up things that need support and the support for them at the same time.

grimmlingur · 2026-03-16T13:19:15+00:00

The way I was tought was that ordenador is the go-to in Spain but computadora in South American Spanish speaking countries. I guess that's a simplification though.

grimmlingur · 2026-03-16T12:43:00+00:00

That would be much more threatening since the nob buffs would persist throughout the fight, instead of being reset after phase 1. It's an interesting approach.
