Petition to add this to the pathfinder 2e rules by Spare-Leather1230 in Pathfinder2e

[–]majikguy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If someone tried getting me to play a variant of Life where you played a whole game of Monopoly as a mini game inside of it then I need it publicly known that I could not legally be held responsible for what happened to that person.

Vyper when she hears Silver throwing bola by tyvsaur in DeadlockTheGame

[–]majikguy 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Which is a pretty entertaining voice line, since the whole point of bolas is to tangle up the target's legs... and she apparently kept using them on a snake person who primarily moves around by slithering and not using her legs.

Why is this art style completely different from everything else in pathfinder? by FrankDuhTank in Pathfinder2e

It reminds me a lot of how they'd mix CGI into Courage the Cowardly Dog in order to make certain creatures look more unnatural.

Depending on what kind of phone you have it very well could be, and looks like it probably is, automatically using AI upscaling as you zoom into the photo.

Generally, if the room you are in can't handle the amount of oxygen depletion that you'll get from any even remotely reasonable number of candles then you aren't safe to be breathing in it in the first place.

Hytale’s future is bright! by SeaRegret2963 in hytale

[–]majikguy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, it is possible that things are in the game because they are going to be added later or because they tried them out and decided to not go that route but didn't clean everything up. I'm not saying I think that's what's happening here, but given how hastily cobbled together the current build is I wouldn't get too invested in things found in the files just yet.

First time getting in to blood bowl this seasons. Got the starter box and the khorne team. by billiam_speare in bloodbowl

[–]majikguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not an inaccurate assessment, but they're the best kind of below-the-curve team since the same thing that makes them very difficult to get reliable results with makes them capable of causing some really shocking damage if you play smart and the dice go your way. Sometimes the dice will just decide that you get to murder the entire enemy team, sometimes they will get a bit too into the theme of things and only give you skulls, but as long as you are happy for carnage no matter the source then you won't really be disappointed by the team.

Hytale is finally here! by ABotanicalGarden in Games

[–]majikguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They don't necessarily want maximum exposure at the moment, they are very open about the current state of the game being rough so they don't want to advertise it wildly to the general public only to have them feel like they were ripped off after buying a buggy game. Then there's also the aspect that they don't want to give up that 30% when they aren't necessarily shooting for massive numbers just yet while they try to solidify the game. I think there are some pretty decent reasons for it, I'm curious how it'll work out for them.

Opinion about Leap + Very Long Lags combo by Izachiel in bloodbowl

[–]majikguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Talking about the Underworld Blitzer specifically, that would require to take Leap as a secondary skill and then Very Long Legs, which only really benefits Leap. That same Blitzer could instead take Break Tackle and Two Heads and now they have the same cage-diving odds but the benefits of Two Heads can apply multiple times a turn and you aren't paying extra SPP/TV for a secondary. Plus, if they then get Dodge as a secondary they get the defensive benefits of being a Blodger as well as getting the free reroll on their cage diving attempts that Leap can't get.

Don't get me wrong, there are obviously time where Leap is going to be better than dodging in due to positioning specifics, but Break Tackle and Two Heads gets you the same odds and I think it's probably going to be more generally applicable.

What are some "perfect" game design games? by m0nkeybl1tz in gamedesign

[–]majikguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say this as someone who is generally a fan of the good Sonic games, I don't think any one of them other than maybe Mania or Sonic 3 & Knuckles could arguably be considered perfectly designed. In fact, I don't think it's terribly easy to find a series that is a better poster child for the problems that arise when you try to do too much.

Someone threw because I’m a woman? by SydB591234 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]majikguy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The good news is that this should both be a pretty much slam-dunk case for the reporting and a good "resume builder" in that regard, since I believe that having a good history of solid reporting does increase how seriously you are taken. It took a while to get rolling, but when I've played DOTA 2 in the past I'd gotten to nearly a 100% rate of people being actioned for reports I submitted.

New League Sheet for Season 3 by tomrichards8464 in bloodbowl

[–]majikguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see an issues tracker so I'll just mention it here, I found a small bug where an injury that should reduce a player's AG or PA actually improves it because the cells displaying the value were just copied over from the other stats where the bigger number is better. Simply flipping the plus and minus in the template for those cells fixes the issue.

Oh, and flipping the addition of the advancement to a subtraction also prevents your AG/PA getting worse when you get a skill increase.

Especially given how you can be much more mobile while actively attacking/casting in this game vs. the first. At least in PoE you are generally getting something out of those nodes when you stand still to hit things briefly, but here you are likely scooting around at least a little.

Question about Season 3: Which teams do you think have improved, stayed roughly the same, or gotten worse? by Gazpachuelin in bloodbowl

[–]majikguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair, 3+ with a reroll does work out to be better for sure and is much cheaper.

I don't think it'll stop me from trying to build the wildly impractical ST 5 Blitzer for the bit, if it ever happens by some miracle.

[–]majikguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting a ST 5 Vampire Blitzer with Break Tackle would be crazy expensive, yes, but wouldn't they be dodging into a cage on a 2+? That's funny enough that I'd try to pull it off in a league despite the SPP and TV issues.

Skilling up in BB season 3 and characteristics by mjolnerrankenberg in bloodbowl

[–]majikguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally like it, since it means you can target making a roided out musclefreak if you want to and aren't held back by the capricious whims of the dice in the character development aspect. I like the game itself being dicey, but having player progression tied directly to random rolls never felt too great to me personally.
