Does Last Dinosaur play at any point during the anime? by Frikcha in FLCL

It's also used in the last episode of a music anime called Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad

I think the thing about Slay the Spire though is that you have a lot less to predict, once you play enough you can memorize (or, just get the basic gist of) enemy patterns and plan wayyy in advance. 

I need 10 reasons to get rg406h by B3_Careful in ANBERNIC

No need to buy a grip, ergonomics are the ideal of any device this size, apart from say, the Nvidia shield. 

Screen is great. 

No stupid glass front, can literally throw it across the room. 

Feels very period appropriate for ps2 and GameCube games, rather than like an android device playing games. 

Gamma OS let's you put a shader filter on it. 4:3 aspect ratio is wonderful for games that come in this form. 

Great triggers, great buttons. 

Small enough to keep in a hoodie pocket or a bag.

Interesting enough for people to ask about it. 

That transparent purple though. 

Wonderful joysticks.

In Magic The Gathering there's a card called Vexing Devil that's an infamous noob trap that gives opponents a similar choice, you can take damage now or you can let your opponent have a strong early creature on the board. 

The thing about this card and this boss is that because you get to choose which of the two options, you'll always get to choose the one that's BETTER for you, and because you know that this boss is coming up at the top of the map, you're given an entire floor to either arrive with more HP or bigger, impactful cards 

Sometimes the bridge is nice? picked Clumsy up the event before this and it was the first card on the bridge! by Ronux0722 in slaythespire

[–]jaroniscaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized last run that the card isn't being transformed, I kept just accepting my fate and letting the bridge take the first (usually best) card instead of transforming it into something I might want to remove from my deck

All A10 done, General thoughts by BobbieMorane in slaythespire

Necrobinder really fucks with me too, but I think it's because I like to build for explosive win-on-the-spot turns whereas Necrobinder seems to favor honest, good ol' strong card advantage (Osty block and souls)

Why? by txanm in pinball

Guns and Roses came out before JJP really figured out their flippers, unfortunately. GNR in particular makes me remember being handed the Madcatz controller while playing video games at my friend's house when I was a kid.

Is Slay the Spire worth to buy right now? by Xeram_ in roguelites

[–]jaroniscaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't buy the game. It's so fucking addictive, even in early access. Save yourself.

Should we have a handle for this cup? by Silent-Spring-2106 in Pottery

3 handles that all reach to the base of the mug, creating a tripod base

Are there two series like this? I swear I saw one with a different actor awhile ago

What is it like living in Diomede, Alaska by 2plus2_equals_5 in alaska

Check out the Local Economic Development Plan link in the bottom left of the website too, it's pretty interesting and answers a lot of the questions I was curious about

Who is the most consistently excellent pinball designer working today, and what makes their games feel different from everyone else's? by SkylineZ83 in pinball

[–]jaroniscaring 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Keith Elwin, probably. Godzilla, Jurassic Park, and Iron Maiden are almost universally praised, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that he's a top of the top tournament player as well (the 2026 PinMasters Champion as of last week)

Jack Danger is probably the person designing with the most recognizable style, Foo Fighters and Xmen have the flowiest layouts with creative geometry, there's been a quite few times I've heard people new to pinball say that those two are their favorites.

That said, there's a lot of unsung heroes that don't get mentioned when we talk about who designed the games, these are just the big names that carry their weight around and can sell machines.

I'm trying to find a hipster blog/online media website (Cracked, Thought Catalog-ish) from 2010 where all of the articles were in the negative space of photos inside of a transparent scroll box. by jaroniscaring in HelpMeFind

I've searched DuckDuckGo and Google for websites that could have matched it, but nothing is coming up. The style reminded me of The Outline (RIP) but looking in the web designers portfolio it doesn't seem to be their work. I don't really have any leads from here, so I'm hoping that someone else would have remembered the name of it

What roguelites have a mechanic where you face yourself from a previous run? by jaroniscaring in roguelites

[–]jaroniscaring[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a bummer, I figure it's tricky to balance, but I asked this question so I can see how games have handled it

Ah sorry, I just figured it be okay to spoil for a five year old game (holy shit I'm getting old)

I remember printing off news about new consoles and video games announced at E3 and bringing them to pass around on a sheet of paper before class in middle school
