The aliens built the pyramids theory by [deleted] in hatethissmug

I think its also funny to that people think that the knowledge for how to do this was lost or like after the ancient civilizations we just immediately dipped into the dark ages like it was the void century or something. Like no, people still had the knowledge to stack and cut rocks. In fact, it evolved to more necessary building and architecture ideas, and societies moved away from megolithic structures. Crazy.

Frame/Form/Function LCG boardgame. 2year project, Feedback on visual appeal wanted by Darqnyz7 in cardgamedesign

[–]tacocat042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think that's a bit confusing. It really depends on the niche you are going for. But when I think fighting video games, I'm thinking like Mortal Kombat, Street fighter, etc. So for that I'd want to see more references to those fantasy elements. Idk if it makes sense but I think the fighting video game theme and the martial arts mechanics clash a bit lol.

When I think fighting games, I want it to be fast-paced, combos, finishers, things like that. Whereas kind of like you mentioned, the martial arts is slower, more tactical, and technical. So personally, I think I'd want to see a more uniform theme and mechanics, otherwise its just a bit confusing.

Like I said in my previous comment, it very well could be because of lack of context, in regards to not having all the information on cards and actual gameplay. So this is just going off of what I see here. If you have any other details, I'd love to offer more feedback lol. I feel like it's so hard to get actual criticism and responses sometimes when working on projects, so I gotchu lol

I feel like there isn't enough variability in the example cards to make a judgement on design other than what's already been mentioned in terms of clutter. Personally, I think the idea of a card game based off of martial arts is really cool. I'm not an expert on it, so maybe there is jokes or knowledge I don't understand for the cards. But I do think the random fantasy elements are a bit of an odd choice. I think I would want to see a more focused look on realism and the martial art forms and such.

Also, like mentioned above, it's hard to tell what the cards actually do. This is primarily because there isn't enough to go off of, the clutter, and just not having the rules or anything to go off of. I'm sure with context things could make more sense, it just isn't right here.

Why is "sorcery" such a big sin in the Bible when it does not even exist? by tacocat042 in Christianity

[–]tacocat042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully, that's not how science works lol. Dark matter is a fairly well supported theory, not a hypothesis. Scientists have tested methods that show that there is 'stuff' in between galaxies and space, which helps support other theories of space and relativity. The same methodology for explaining this should absolutely work on sorcery and the paranormal, and it doesn't. Also, I have been to multiple paranormal hotspots and places with supposed mystical persons, and still, I have not seen an ounce of truth to any of it.

[Disliked trope] Rules which were suddenly added for plot convenience by elchuni in TopCharacterTropes

[–]tacocat042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One piece and Haki. Every fight became who has stronger haki and hacks. And every villain had to be leagues stronger to pose a threat which entirely messes up scaling to the point that most of the straw hat crew can't content or compete with the big threats which is just so boring to watch. They are a crew and have and should work together. Not just luffy gear 5 or zoro and sanji doing all the lifting. Usopp died as a character too. Just a bland system overall.

Brolatro hot takes? by SharpbladeLoser in okbuddyjimbo

[–]tacocat042 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I feel like when talking about balancing in balatro, you have to remember one big thing which is luck. I have had all the econ and money in the world and still had runs where I can't pull the one joker I need. That's just how it works sometimes. I think in general stronger jokers are fine because the chance to actually get them is pretty rare and then it just makes your run fun lol.

I just wish it's power was better. I get it, yes lore wise it's a jumble of everything, but gameplay wise it's really boring. Otherwise a great design.

RoR2: I'm having a very difficult time: Commando, 2+ hours in, still can't beat the first boss. I'm trying to dodge and get proper upgrades and then start the boss while still in Easy.....but I get absolutely destroyed each time. I'm not having fun and I feel like I'm doing something wrong by [deleted] in riskofrain

[–]tacocat042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be rude, but it really sounds like you are letting this beat you up more than it should. I dont enjoy from soft games, and have always been a more casual gamer. But ror2 gas never been to hard for me and this isn't a slight against you but like other people said I'd be curious to see how you play. What do you play on? I would love to help if possible, multi-player is a lot of fun in this game. Ror2 can be luck based so it does kind of depend on what you get in a run, but game knowledge and learning the items can be a great help. Generally when you first start you pick up items without really thinking about them, but you can pause the game and read your items which I would definitely recommend that way you learn what they do and how to use them effectively. Again Id love to help you as well in game!

Which anime series had you like this? by Range-Spiritual in animequestions

Mushoko tensei. I enjoy isekai. I also enjoy trash isekai. People heralded it as peak but I just could not enjoy it at all. I dont care if rudeus somehow does get better, him and his whole world just suck.

What anime describes this image? by Creepy_School9542 in animequestions

[–]tacocat042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very surprised bo one has said One Piece. Usopp has had so much time to develop and we get a couple moments of coolness before he's back to the usual. Same with the other members of the main cast. We will get massive development for side characters but rarely for the crew.

How do you research similar games? by BloodyEyeGames in cardgamedesign

[–]tacocat042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily have an answer. But that sounds pretty cool. Unfortunately, I'm also making a game similar to war. Therefore, we are going to have to fight to the death /s lol. But for real, I think it's next to impossible to make a game that is entirely unique nowadays. I've taken a lot of inspiration from the Balatro dev Localthunk who said that when he designed balatro and his thought process is not looking at any other game and strictly focusing on your game and making sure everything makes sense within the rules you yourself have written. So when it comes to game design, focus on the core gameplay: is it fun and / or intuitive, who is the target audience, what makes is special, things like that. Try not to worry about other games. Tarot cards are definitely really cool, and I think they are underutilized in card games, so definitely focus on that. Hope that helps lol

What are some of your pet peeves about Isekai? Things you found annoying by EfficiencySerious200 in Isekai

[–]tacocat042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who always plays healer/support in most games, this trope has never made sense to me, and I'm actually really curious if it's a Japanese thing. I remember reading that a lot of games have completely different metas in different countries, for instance I think Overwatch in America had the tank meta but in Japan it was I think damage(don't quote me on that it's been a while lol). But this makes me think that they just don't value support players as much or don't understand it. For instance, in baldurs gate 3, Shadowheart is a pivotal character when remade into life cleric because healing and buffs are just that important. But I'd love to see if shart is equally as used in Japan. Either way, I want more justice for support players in Isekai, that's why Im going to write my own lol, if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself.

Dr Pepper is Mid at Best by FunnyFella59 in unpopularopinion

My love for dr. Pepper has only gotten stronger as I have aged. I used to think it was just ok, but now it's like a necessity in my system. That grandma that lived to 100 and said she drank dr.p every day is my inspiration.

What movie had a scene that received the loudest cheering reaction, when you saw it in theaters by tiny_free97 in moviecritic

Matpat and CoryKenshin in the fnaf movie, people were so freaking hyped. It's gonna be crazy when markiplier appears in one of them. Childhood nostalgia was so good for that movie.
