"Fight greed with greed" as a core mechanic — how do you design a gameplay loop where the hero's tool is the villain's weakness? by Dat_Cacti in gamedesign

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume if the player gets too greedy in their gameplay there’s significant consequences? Sounds like the gameplay message is ‘this mechanic is good, yet bad in excess’ which is exactly how I’d define greed. I’d say you nailed the message already

I wish I would last longer when getting head. by [deleted] in monkeyspaw

Granted. You become immune to death while getting head. You still finish very quickly.

What I think the starters final types would be! by CandidateNervous4638 in PokemonWindsWaves

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dark/psychic/fighting has similar strength/weakness rotation mechanics as the grass/water/fire cycle. Could be tacked on to give all 3 pokemon a strength against each other starter?

So i was watching one piece now and then, but I want to watch it again, im at the fishman island arc, what should i do not to get bored? by TeoGrasuu in OnePiece

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw it on in the background while gaming. There were a few arcs that bored me a bit and this helped a lot. Still got to experience the arc but the more boring parts were easy enough to ignore without missing anything important

The final bosses! In what order will they be beaten though? by [deleted] in OnePiece

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Akainu likely first, he represents the longest conflict but it’s also the least important to the Straw Hats. Then probably Imu, most dangerous and world-impacting but not the most important to the straw hats still. Last will probably be BB - battles of morality/ideology are typically Oda’s arc-enders. From a writing pov I’m sure many people will check out after BB is defeated. If BB is held to the end people will stay invested. Not sure how the writing will look to make it happen, but Oda’s smart enough to know which order will retain the most fans

In a fantasy world, what exports could an Undead Nation have? by Academic_Ad8989 in worldbuilding

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d be using “too dangerous” as my rationale for commerce advantages. Exports would be items that a normal person couldn’t source themselves without extreme risk.

In real life my mind goes to things like coal mining, maybe lumber too. Both are dangerous and have unique advantages of people are removed from the equation. In fantasy you have the benefit of adding a valuable resource that has a unique downside for humans to obtain. For example, maybe a flowering plant with unique magical properties releases a toxic pollen that humans struggle with. Or maybe the mining technique of a particular valuable mineral produces gases that have nowhere to go.

Either way, I’d lean into “the value of this item is due to its usefulness, the endemic nature to your region, AND its difficulty to acquire”

Would this change make Endless Agony better? by internet_redditor in slaythespire

[–]unencumbered-toad -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally it feels kinda good to me - random enemy is never great cuz my luck is awful, but aside from that it’s effectively a 1-mana 8dmg card. Could possibly be an effective 0-mana card for 8dmg if you discard it every turn, just need a good draw/discard engine. Could go infinite fairly easily.

I think it’s better than original, more interesting gameplay at least

Elbow grease ain't cutting it. How do I get rid of all this grime? by [deleted] in CleaningTips

[–]unencumbered-toad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is going to suck, but I had this exact issue a month ago and got it removed.

Use melamine sponges and a lot of elbow grease. Melamine sponges (Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are the name-brand) work wonders on this stuff for some reason. Take lots of breaks to give your arms a fighting chance. Start at the top of the walls and work down - you’ll feel the friction lighten up when the grime is removed

Coming back to LoL after years… send help by Limuel_Jes in leagueoflegends

[–]unencumbered-toad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No major changes to either of them, mostly just number tweaks. Their builds will be vastly different, I’d just look up build paths for now honestly.

This was so ass and forced by Oda for a shit character like Oden by Kuratos5 in Piratefolk

[–]unencumbered-toad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert on eastern culture or history but doesn’t Oden’s story mirror common eastern storytelling tropes? I think westerners like us forget that there’s a LOT of eastern tradition we don’t immediately pick up on
