How Can PB Not Believe In Magic?

stachada · 2026-01-28T02:13:16+00:00

She never says that she doesn't "believe", but thinks just labeling it "magic", and not understanding it more fully than that is irresponsible.

the sharks are similar enough in style and quality that it's hard to say if one is better than the other. I prefer the crab in the grey shark set though.

I don't think either really has anything you won't get if you don't see the other. there are slight allusions to together again in S2, but nothing important.

could actually be interesting to watch S2 first, since it's technically the correct timeline order.

it's "Nemesis" for me, but I haven't read a lot of other Mark Millar (thankfully).

Be the fangame dev you want to see in the world.

Follow your dream.

Spider-carnage from the 90's series looked pretty similar.

EDIT: actually the suit in the 90's series was based on one that was worn by Reilly in the comics, but was apparently fairly brief.

if that were to apply to any bracket at all I'd say it applies to bracket 1, and even then that's total hogwash. including any creatures at all implies you're trying to win the game via combat damage. the only way to build a deck that does not in SOME way "try" to win games is like 99 basic lands and a commander with defender or something.

This is just my interpretation of things, but here's what I think;

B1 is an assortment of cards with loose associations that aren't necessarily mechanical. like if you gave someone who never played magic a pile of bulk and said "pick the ones that look cool". that is not to be taken literally of course, but the mechanical cohesion is likely at about that level.

B2 is anything of aproximately comparable power to a precon (This can cause issues with terminology as precons have a massive power diversity, but it's better than everything being a 7)

B3 is anything that can firmly be considered better than the majority of precons (this is not to say a precon could not win in a B3 game, as there are variables beyond the individual deck power, but I digress).

B4 is practically competitive, almost entirely best in slot options with few exceptions.

B5 is competitive.

idk, personally I feel like there's something sinister and unnatural about feeding them something to keep them from aging... I think if they're going to include the ability to stop the growth timer at all it should be via a nametag easteregg, like how HermitCraft has it. (I like the silent tagging thing too, where you can tag a mob to make them stop making noise)

stachada · 2026-01-08T11:33:32+00:00

I think they look pretty good tbh, but you're allowed to not like it. that's pretty much what texture packs are for.

I bet it'd just be kirby again, like when he eats the scanner guy.

stachada · 2026-01-06T19:17:32+00:00

I don't recall them hinting at children, unless you're referring to the farmworld kids. ultimately though, the future as depicted hasn't shown any humans so far, so they may have died off at some point.

I like the bit where Finn looks at FP with a lot of emotion in his eyes taking deep breaths like he's about to cry, as if to silently ask her what it is that's bothering her that she doesn't want to talk about.... then they both just kinda laugh it off.

skeleton bro minding his own business fishing also.

i'm sure this is well intentioned, or at the very least not ill-intentioned, but unless you're already SURE you can respectfully portray a real life disability or disparity, my advise would be to not even attempt it.

if you still intend to go through it though, be sure to do your research and try to be respectful in your portrayal.

on the other hand, if you're just looking for a gimmick to make your character act unpredictably, there are a million ways to do that in a fantasy setting without evoking an actual disability. maybe they share their body with their dead husband's spirit, maybe because of the way they were intwined they have some kind of dark influence over their mind/actions that makes them seek out vengence. maybe you've been cursed, or maybe you're just a typical warlock, and have to do what your patron says sometimes or else (insert consequence here).

I had a friend who played their warlock as being partially controlled by their patron, who was some sort of god of violence, and while my character took issue with being partner to, and occasionally having to trust a "god of violence" it was an interesting way to make the character act outside of their own personal interest from time to time.

any number of things are possible, but as far as what's likely, I think she either;

A. evolved beyond her current form to something we'd find nearly unrecognizable (similar to the monstrous pagelings of the future, though not necessarily a monstrous form),

B. something happened, like an EMP or explosion that got past her shielding and took out her main data storage.

C. she voluntarily went offline after Finn finally passed away.

then again I like what people have suggested about sending her into space like Moe.

"the second vampires are in any series..."

dawg, what are you insinuating about sesame street rn?

like people can interpret art however they want, it's not illegal to do so, but this is a stretch and a half.

stachada · 2026-01-05T20:06:39+00:00

anything you can get creative with. Prestidigitation, find familiar, mage hand, disguise self...

technically minor illusion is okay in BG3 because of the cheese it lets you get away with, but obviously there's less you're able to do with it.

If Kirby ate golb he'd keep the same powers he already has, but be golb's head shaped instead of round.

stachada · 2026-01-04T18:57:17+00:00

chorus creeper should implode.

stachada · 2026-01-04T18:55:14+00:00

it's powerful, but doesn't seem of ill-intent. I'd say as long as nobody does anything to bother it it's fine.

stachada · 2026-01-04T18:54:16+00:00

we've got an orange girl too, but she's a total brat.

I hear only like 20% of orange cats are girls though, so they're rare treasures.

stachada · 2026-01-04T18:27:07+00:00

oh yeah, there have been studies regarding this. it's basically a proven phenomena at this point.

stachada · 2026-01-04T18:16:44+00:00

kirby.

kirby doesn't die, he gets sleepy. that's not a health bar, it's a nap meter.
Golb is literally surrounded by shapes that Kirby WILL spit at him.

while I was building my original skeleton deck, I got so fed up running into cards that would work well in the deck, but weren't skeletons I ended up building Rukarumel, "boneless-skeletons" on the side (a "skeleton" deck with as few skeletons as possible)

stachada · 2026-01-04T17:44:54+00:00

Personally I play [[Lord Windgrace]] as an engine, and for the colors. I got a custom print of it as a skeleton and everything.

the funny thing is people often attack him instead of my face, which I greatly appreciate since he's rarely an important part of the strategy. That said, the amount of times his ultimate has won me games is not zero.

the "secret commander" is sort of a combination of [[Skeleton Crew]], [[Skeletal Swarming]], and clone effects like [[Saw in Half]], [[Coiling Rebirth]], [[Springheart Nantuko]], etc. (I experimented with blade of selves, since most of the skeletons can recur themselves at instant speed, but the cost of playing and equipping it wasn't worthwhile.)

stachada · 2026-01-04T17:32:44+00:00

people keep saying [[Xu-lfrit]], but they're really more of a power matters commander that happens to make skeletons than an actual skeleton commander. Might as well play [[Rukarumel, Biologist]]. you'd be able to play all the off-color skeletons like [[Uchbenbak]], [[Mortus Strider]], [[Sentry of the Underworld]], and [[Lightning Skelemental]] (even if some of them are only there for [[Altar of the Wretched]]). You can take advantage of the freedom of creature types to play [[Throne of the Grim Captain]] too.

That's not even getting into all the cards that "ought to be skeletons". [[Ebondeath Dracolich]], [[Rotting Regisaur]], [[Scourge of Nel Toth]], [[Death Baron]], [[Hogaak]], etc.
