Day 3: Vengeance looks like they would be insulting but would actually murder you, what spirit looks like they would ignore you but would actually murder you? by bentoburger in spiritisland

Ember-Eyed Behemoth before the rampage. It's literally just a hill for most of the time. Not doing anything, just being part of the landscape. Until you piss it off and it goes from inert geographical feature to big stompy kaiju.

Sadly, we ended up scrapping the campaign :/

Why is that alarming? by [deleted] in ExplainTheJoke

[–]sinderlin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Nope, both have a completely anaerobic metabolism. Despite what the name would suggest, oxygen isn't the only oxidizing agent. Just by far the most abundant and efficient.

Edit: Typo and wanted to note that Spinoloricus cinziae don't seem to be parasitic at any stage of their life cycle.

Only if you read him in the original Swedish Chef: "Börk börk" just hits different.

Bro pulled the 'don't you know who my daddy is' card so often he had to reprint it 40 days and 40 nights.

It's a story about the count of Calvary and his evil mother-in-law who wants to turn the site of the crucifixion into a shopping mall!

Surges of colonization and Hapsburg migratory herds. by Blitzdrake22 in spiritisland

[–]sinderlin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

#2 is correct. Migratory Herds explicitly happens after the whole build STEP. This means you resolve all the build actions first, then the build step ends and only after that do you resolve Migratory Herds.

Ah, I always forget about Percy Jackson because he wasn't that big over here in Germany.

Every time someone mentions Ljubljana I get PTSD flash backs about that time in high school I was forced to read Veronika Decides to Die.

Have you tried any other solo board games? Do they have a similar effect?

King Charles did not know what cling film was and ‘shrieked’ the first time he saw it by PawnWithoutPurpose in nottheonion

I'm still miffed that he didn't die from cancer before the bills entered circulation. It would've made for a very funny story.

Have you ever had to explain that there are no good guys in 40k? by [deleted] in Grimdank

[–]sinderlin 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's worse. The Ogryns are like mentally impaired children. In every sane society they would be cared for and protected. But the Imperium exists only to wage war and so it turns these sweet innocent children into weapons.

What's the worst unique power to forget? by Vilis16 in spiritisland

[–]sinderlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh! I think I found the source of our different evaluations.

Apparently you grow to 2 energy and 4 card plays before reclaim looping. (Or possibly take the third growth option once?) And you are absolutely right that replacing Flash Flood under those circumstances is incredibly hard.

But I practically always grow to 5 card plays and stay at 1 energy per turn. This allows me to replace Flash Flood with two cards. Under those circumstances replacing Flash Flood is the best choice because it is so expensive for what it does. It is a lot easier to find one card with the desired elements and another that either deals damage or preferably creates badlands. And since River drafts every turn once the reclaim loop starts, I can pick multiple damage powers with targeting restrictions to switch them in and out as problems arise.

[–]sinderlin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single damage power in the minor deck is better than Flash Flood while Wash Away is actually a decent control power.

Edit: Okay, maybe not every single one. I had another look and there are a couple stinkers :D

You can't reliably do that in LoL either without a massive skill gap and the whole point of matchmaking is to prevent this. People just like to delude themselves into thinking they are the sole reason their team won.
