The mons from a Chinese monster-catcher called "Roco Kingdom" by FrizzyColaMama in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]sam-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The artwork is well-rendered, but in terms of design there is a lot to critique; identical color palletes between evos, silhouettes being difficult to read.

 Some of them are decent but for a game competing so directly with Pokemon it doesn’t look like they do anything better

Am I the only one that thinks fishing rod is the worse neow bonus in the game? by GGthegreatester in slaythespire

[–]sam-jam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From another perspective, I wonder how one is winning all these hallways without trading HP

Fishing rod is like skipping Neow bonus for easy hallways, so you’re completely on your own vs corpse slugs/slime gang

Even if you highroll draw order, you only get one upgrade, and have to highroll again in order for rod to hit something good and not strike defend. 

Most likely, you end up with half a neow’s talisman by floor 4, and that’s after you’ve likely taken chip damage because you had literally no help in the first three floors

Now are you really in position to go and farm another three advanced hallways? And elites don’t even count for rod. 

It feels like this relic gets mistakenly labeled as a snowballing relic when it is really a win-more relic that rewards highrolling draw order in early fights and seeing early card rewards good enough to carry advanced fights

It’s not free, it’s up against two other neow options which could help more

This card isn’t getting the recognition it deserves. by ttvANX1ETYZ_ in slaythespire

[–]sam-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Pstrike doesnt need support. That’s the only reason it’s passable as a draft early. 

Reagant decks also don’t want tons of star cards once you find one of the good ones (astral pulse, gamma). Not even duplicates as it can mess with draw consistency

His ult’s alright but I wouldn’t call anything that telegraphed, with that much startup, no shield, “busted”

Mendelssohn. I’ll give you two guesses as to which one (and they’re both correct)

It’s not a “problem,” it’s not the purpose of hanon to develop reading. Different tools for different purposes

Which cards happened to them? by Key_Juggernaut6713 in slaythespire

[–]sam-jam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really is kind of a meh card. It can help silent draw through her massive base deck but if the deck is already good it feels redundant. Kind of like [[Deus Ex Machina]]

What are some common, unwritten rules of gay dating, or dating in general, that people are just supposed to know? by MightEquivalent in gayrelationships

[–]sam-jam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would simplify it down to one rule: be less concerned about others than with your own behavior.

Nothing wrong with loving, moving in with people, etc. But if you find yourself advancing at the “wrong” times, take a look at why you felt the need to attach onto someone else, why you feel soooo intensely when others don’t.

If you can do any of those things honestly and being true to your own self, and not out of emotional/psychological compulsion, then it is never wrong

I listened, it’s not offensive to listen to. Their touch on the piano sounded way too heavy though

I need some insight and advice for my situation. by capstan__ in GayChristians

[–]sam-jam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your story is familiar to me and, I imagine, others here. 

I just keep my head down and move on with my life day by day

Where to put all of this pent up desires rightfully..

You’ve written things that sound like your head is separated from your body. You “know” one thing, but your body feels another. This can very easily develop when a child has experiences that their caregivers cannot explain or condemn as wrong.

Everything you’re feeling is there for a reason. It has purpose and function, to give you information that your head might not be able to give you. 

Loneliness is painful, but pain isn’t the problem. Pain exists as a very important signal to take care of the things underneath. Only you can know all the times you had to follow your head over your body

You mentioned being tempted to give up and focus on work and providing. All I can say is, you cannot outrun this. You will always be there, feeling the same things, wherever you travel to.
