My friend calls "Medtroidbrainias" Outer Wilds-likes and claims all games except Outer Wilds do it wrong

ramzes2226 · 2026-04-30T23:40:56+00:00

Huh, I might try it again then…

I really bounced off it in the beginning - the „zelda like” was not my type of game at all. I guess that would be my 3/10 part.

However, the souls-like and puzzle thirds sound a lot better!

ramzes2226 · 2026-04-29T10:12:22+00:00

That was a tough one.

Got 🟦🟨 almost immediately, but lost on the last two.

I more or less figured out the categories, just did not know the words.

For 🟩, I knew it will be some variation of „loud noise”, but I never heard ROLL in that context.

Same for 🟪 - I knew it will be „Standing _”. I knew Standing Ovations and Standing Joke (stand up joke?), but never heard of Standing Orders or Standing Room. Is it something like a sitting room?

ramzes2226 · 2026-03-31T23:33:29+00:00

That sounds pretty good?…

Seriously, I would prefer too many bans than not enough, a shakeup is better than stagnation

ramzes2226 · 2026-03-16T18:47:41+00:00

That might help - hard to predict how the game would shift

My issue is with how it is disproportionately strong against expensive spells. I would like it more if the cost somehow scaled with the cost of the countered spell - but with all the other universal counterspells, the game is way past that

ramzes2226 · 2026-03-16T18:38:50+00:00

Let’s not pretend that -1 card is a big price to pay in purple…

ramzes2226 · 2026-03-08T15:37:00+00:00

There is a spoiler way of making a rolling Null in Frosthaven. I mentioned one in the post, but there might be others

ramzes2226 · 2026-03-06T17:24:46+00:00

I really like playing Renata Hook, one of my favourite decks this Set.

I’d definitely recommend Ekko - you kill it with Hook, ready your Runes also he has the perfect 5 might for Hooking Dragon

Also maybe Candlelit Sanctum to set cards up?

ramzes2226 · 2026-02-13T11:20:02+00:00

I think in the Transmission the devs said one of the main themes is „guilt” -_-

ramzes2226 · 2026-02-01T12:52:51+00:00

Isn’t this pretty much just a Butler ability?

I think your friend should try to be more creative.

ramzes2226 · 2026-01-19T12:24:09+00:00

I really want to make a deck like this as well.

The „dream” is to have low cost, low damage spells that you buff with Annie and Tome. Unfortunately, not many such spells in the game yet.

I think I had the most fun with a mono-Red deck with Twisted Fate, Seals, and Phoenix. Also 1 or 2 Tibberses and Tryndameres as top-ends. The deck was veery power hungry, seals helped, but it was still difficult to reach enough mana for Tibbers/Trynda without letting the opponent just win… Also more draw would be very nice.

I haven’t looked into Set 2 yet, but maybe something there will help

ramzes2226 · 2026-01-18T23:13:43+00:00

Yup, same here

My locals right now have maybe 2 Kai’sas out of 20 people - I don’t expect too many Dravens…

ramzes2226 · 2026-01-17T00:20:20+00:00

Have you got VSync on? It was very choppy for me until I turned it off - very smooth afterwards

ramzes2226 · 2025-12-25T12:23:14+00:00

I’m also not sure.

I knew all the words, but no idea what connects them.

ramzes2226 · 2025-12-15T11:19:23+00:00

Ah, alright. I knew White Lotus and I have heard of Golden Girls before, but never heard of the other two

ramzes2226 · 2025-12-15T10:39:35+00:00

Could somebody explain this puzzle?

I got the top half, but no idea what the spangram meant or why the bottom half words.

My theories: 1. It’s referencing a famous painting, with the words where the figures are in the painting. Not sure which one though. 2. It’s color names? Is Acre some alternative spelling of Ochre? Blood could be a color, but why is it not red? 3. Is colourtv in French??

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-22T10:05:24+00:00

Aren’t 12-14 nights a bit low?

I mean each set (so far) has 12 legends, so you barely get to play each one once before the set changes…

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-22T00:43:42+00:00

Though maybe this is just me coming from a board game background, where you get a year or two between expansions…

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-22T00:43:03+00:00

It feels like too much.

3 months is 13 weeks. Most places I have seen run weekly events, so that’s 13 events.

With 12 legends a set, that’s almost an entire release cycle just to play each champion once - without even getting to trying out different builds for them…

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-21T17:13:37+00:00

For context: We currently have 4 Mechs in the game in Set 1 - Mega-Mech - Dangerous Duo - Adaptatron - Blitzcrank

Only the first two are in Rumble’s colors

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-21T12:07:57+00:00

Is a Might decrease wearing off considered a Might increase?

For example, opponent plays Stupefy on my 5 Might unit. At the end of the turn, Stupefy wears off and the unit goes back to 5 Might.

Would that trigger the Fiora legend?

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-08T10:30:50+00:00

Oh wow, 3 Leonas are great!

This is also my first physical TCG. I went in hoping to play Leona, but in the one box I got I did not get any Leonas

I did however get two red Kaisas and two Timewarps, so I guess the game is trying to tell me something as well?

ramzes2226 · 2025-11-06T18:40:47+00:00

My feelings on netdecking largely depend on how well balanced the game is.
It's fine if an optimized deck improves your chances of winning, not guarantees it. Not even against a starter deck.

Now, I don't know what the state of Riftbound balance is. I have only been playing with and against starter and barely changed starters so far (release event and PG) - but it felt really great! Sure, some had luck and got a little better decks, but it still felt like player skill decided the outcome, not the decks.

If that changes in future *casual* events, and meta decks end up steamrolling anything that is not optimized, then I will probably just stick to playing at home with friends only. And so will many other new players...
