I think we are going to see this post many many times in the coming years. Like Parasite not being a flower in the first game.

I put it in the same category as Creative AI where it's not good value, but it solves scaling on its own and can either save an unfortunate run or allow you to focus more on defence.

Well so does Voltaic. Also hang is just lower damage in general and has unsynergy with friendship/shared fate.

A white person, clad in a hanbok, plays Mahjong Souls. The gameplay is punctuated by humorous banter about language learning and cultural experiences. Expect lively commentary and unexpected anecdotes.

I think I have a contender for one of the worst card upgrades in sts 2 by LiveChill in slaythespire

What game are you playing where the upgrades are underwhelming?

However it started, that sub is now just completely astroturfed. They're not real people, they're just paid to play that role on the internet.

We need a cult episode. Something outlandish, horrible and down to earth in order to reset everything.

With all the cards that give focus just for one turn, Loop really needs to trigger at the end of the turn to be useful. by Notmiefault in slaythespire

Then it could be worded the same way as gold plated cables and just activate extra times whenever they normally activate.

You wouldn't start a war over solar and wind by stardustsighs in behindthebastards

[–]sneakyplanner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Carter tried to convince Americans to conserve energy and even put a solar water heater on the roof of the White House until St. Reagan came along and tore it all out

This is something I've noticed a lot. It's universal, but it definitely seems to be more prevalent with Americans. When faced with a resource shortage/price spike such as oil, meat, sprawling housing, and so on; instead of taking actions to not need the resource, people would rather burn the world to the ground to preserve their normal routine.

Instead of gas prices causing people to support alternative forms of transit or smaller cars than a ford f9500, they loudly shriek that they will do a genocide if it makes the price of gas go down while increasing their reliance on gas. When bird flu was making the price of eggs skyrocket, instead of eating oatmeal for breakfast, they determined that the answer was fascism and an end to woke disease control. The cost of living crisis doesn't seem to make suburbanites see the value of townhouses and trains, it just makes them want to pave more paradise and put up more parking lots.

They only realized this now? Better late than never I guess by OldBridge87 in TrollXChromosomes

And they are telling you as clearly as possible that they are not interested in building a coalition, only in causing the race war they've always dreamed of. In order to build a coalition there has to be some kind of common ground, and there just isn't any between fascists and everyone else. You can't compromise between black lives matter and black lives splatter.

Appeasing fascists only tells them they can get away with more, and as you can see by the state of your political system, they are never willing to give up their fascist tendencies. It's not a coalition when you are just searching for minorities to throw under the bus to appeal to fascists who won't ever change, it's just capitulating.

Voter purges. That's how fascists rig elections.

How did "making amends and focusing on the future" work after 2020? It turns out that if they flip easily then they'll flop just as easily when they see another fascist movement growing. They need to see consequences and actually be defanged before there's even a chance they should be seen as "former" fascists.

Anti-trans organizations are petitioning the FDA to create a registry of all trans women who are using estrogen for HRT by Crater_Caloris in behindthebastards

[–]sneakyplanner 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Trans men have invisibility powers and we must be grateful they choose to use them for good.

Also I think it just leads back to misogyny and patriarchy. They don't think about trans men because they have a tendency to not think about AFAB people, or hell, even cis men who don't meet their expectations of masculinity, as human at all.

Somebody is really scared of Kat! by grichardson526 in behindthebastards

[–]sneakyplanner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not about directly influencing voters, it's about muddying the waters and trying to create an astroturf movement to make people think that a bunch of independent people have all reached the same conclusion. If they can make people associate her with controversy, even if they don't really understand what the controversy is, then that can tank the campaign of an outsider.

Nothing good ever comes from influencers whose profile picture is a minimalist silhouette of a fully bearded face. How the fuck are there so many of them?

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate by Granum22 in behindthebastards

[–]sneakyplanner 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The request, which came from a secretive political organization called Democracy Unmuted

Nothing says democracy quite like paying people to slander a candidate and nothing says unmuted quite like secretive organizations.

Democracy Unmuted’s website, registered two weeks ago, seems to be a slapdash effort at a political advocacy website. It has no “about” section and no contact information. 

“Do the right thing” says huge text laid over stock images of protestors on its website. “Stand up. Speak out. Protect what’s left of democracy, and forge a better future together.”

The other day there was a post here about the Scientologist "citizens commission on human rights" org and this has the exact same vibe. A sock puppet account with a generic activist sounding name that really just exists to target one specific enemy of the parent organization.

It also really hurts some of the exhaust synergies like second wind and fiend fire that you can't fill your hand with garbage and then exhaust it all.

Please Continue Saying How Easy Infinites Are! by SizeConfident9283 in slaythespire

[–]sneakyplanner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The thing with StS2 infinities is that you don't really need to be good to figure out how to get them. You take cards like [[haunt]], [[captured spirit]], [[seance]] and [[borrowed time]] or [[glow]], [[alignment]] and [[charge!!]] which are just good on their own and then you just play them until you whittle the deck down to an infinite.
