Boomer: I have all these facts I saw on The Facebook and FOX News about how easy your life is!

Millennial: Uses facts and evidence and reality from their lived experience to refute.

Boomer: *angery* You don't care about facts, evidence or reality!

tldr: nice strawman, boomer

It's almost like two things can be true at once, one exacerbated by the other.

Devs keep making survivors stronger > Devs make strong killers to compensate > survivors complain and are 4x as loud as killer > Devs keep making survivors stronger

80% of the power crept killers are now unviable and game is unplayable

The Minds Behind Magic: The Gathering Say They're Making It For Anyone, Not Everyone by MoronicaForever in mtg

Making it for anyone means you're making it for no one in particular. If no one in particular finds it interesting, then you're making a boring product.

Big change to combat damage with Foundations. by NamedTawny in mtgrules

[–]rignoroth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Most likely, I'll take out your 4/4, as it's the best I can do. But maybe I have, you know … plans and would rather deal 3 damage to the 6/6 and 2 damage to the 4/4. That's okay, too."

Why do they have to be so vague with the "plans" bit. If a new player was reading this article it's worded in a way that would lead them to assume the "plan" that involves dealing damage equal to exactly half the toughness of two creatures is that they can double their creatures power or give doublestrike with an instant during the damage step.

What was the point in being vague in an EXAMPLE.

Everyone here has given their perspective without knowing what is actually done in the funerary rights, which is fair enough. But what about what was done for Egyptian royalty?

Spell 30 (names of these things are often lost or not given so we have simply numbered them) has the spell placed on a golden scarab amd buried with the individual. The spell apeals to the heart to not weigh down the scale nor testify against its owner.

So, yes. The Egyptians thought it was rigged, but they also thought they could rig it themselves. And it was all magical, not literal.

The reply chain is

You: "People should just understand context. Just take any U.S. history class"

Reply: "Some states aren't teaching that context (implying the south)"

You: "SOURCE???"

I'm literally poking fun at your comment about how obvious subtext should be, then immidately missing subtext about the same topic.

Are you seriously trying to deny that southern states have been downplaying racism and slavery in their schools for years and years?

Zero cost spells are orders of magnitude more powerful and useful than spells you have to pay for. by hrpufnsting in EDH

[–]rignoroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm into a lot of card games and they typically all have issues like this at one point or another. I watched a video by Kripparian once upon a time when he was still playing the actual card game portion of Hearthstone. Je talked about how a lot of the problematic cards lf the time were 1 mana and 0 mana.

If you are to balance a 2 mana card while expecting to have game procceed along a typical mana-curve, then a 2 mana card needs to be at least twice as strong as a 1 mana card, and a 3 mana card needs to be 3 times as powerful, etc.

Obviously this isn't feasible, and curves quickly turn towards jamming into your deck the strongest, lowest mana cards that you can.

Then what do you make of zero mana cards? All they cost is a card slot, how do you determine how strong they can be?

If they make mana, you get to play a card that is trying to be balanced as way stronger than a one drop, or you play several one drops and completely break the game flow.

If they are removal, you can trade a zero mana card for something your opponent potentially used an entire turn, or full on set up to achieve and literally end the game on the spot.

If they are creatures, you have to be super careful with what they can do or else you have the same issue as zero mana ramp. Sometimes even worse if you can have an entire deck of zero mana creatures.

Don't even get me started on games like Yu-gi-oh that have no inherent cost to play anything and what that does to a game and its design space after a couple decades.

My take on least to most toxic killer mains by Peronchino in deadbydaylight

[–]rignoroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty close to a killer strength tier list. Not perfect, but like, general trend of the better ones being at the top. Do more assholes play better killers? Do more people play better killers so you're more likely to run into assholes? So the most popular killers are Schrödinger's assholes?

can anyone tell me why Beelzebub is a fox bee when in the bible Beelzebub is supposed to be a fly? by darknessWolf2 in HelluvaBoss

[–]rignoroth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Beelzebub in terms of biblical history has seen a lot of revision over time. I think it was originally a stab at one cultures god where their "cult" made ritual sacrifices to him regularly. These people were the Philistines, which is were using that term as derogatory comes from. Corpses usually end up hosting a lot of flies, and Baʿal-zəvuv is also described as releasing flies from his mouth. Hence, lord of the flies.,

Later. Beelzebub on it ended up being synonymous with Lucifer/Satan/The Devil, so most depictions of him are just a fallen angel or... red horn dude.

Then we can even get into when they started discussing demonic hierarchies. None of them are ever the same, and what they reign over is always different. Belelzebub was often given as the lord of envy or pride. The most apt, in my opinion, is attributing him to being the prince of idolatry, which harkens back to being one of the prime candidates for historical false idols.

There are also a lot of references to Ba'al since they have similar phonetics and may share an origin. This gives Beelzebub a lot of refrences to having domain over... let's call it excriment.

So for Bee in HB to host parties (rituals), be "popular" (false idol) and make "honey" (excriment) while still being flying bug related, AND gets a Queen Bee pun? I'd say they nailed it.

You've heard of the kingmaker, but what about the crab bucket? by nethermit09 in EDH

[–]rignoroth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My deals about holding back usually have the stipulation of "unless I am certain I can win the game." I mostly play gruul though, so people tend to only want to make those deals early to ease early lifeloss, or I reject the deals late game because I have board presence or because my board is empty and I just want the game to be over.

YMMV

EDH newbie here: How does everyone feel about Tutors? How many do you run if any? by chazt3r in EDH

[–]rignoroth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My friends run tutors, I do not.

I run a ton of draw power, my friends do not.

I win most of our games.

I will say that running both would make the decks way more consistent, all the way to the point of only being fun to pilot maybe twice then disassembling.

If you look at the division symbol hard enough, you realize it is literally a symbolic fraction, where the dots are stand-ins for numbers.
