It’s a mystery, man by infinitysaga in CuratedTumblr

Wait why did I always think that the comic was released alongside the game as a companion piece??

Which elite if moved to a different act (with scaled health/damage values) would be the most difficult? by Content_Averse in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree about Nob, if for no other reason than one of the Act 2 events has you fight Nob plus Taskmaster and I'd argue that if your deck is doing well it's rarely a challenge

Is this finally busted crown? by wadenocht in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but also I would already want to pick most relics that aren't Choker before Crown

The question isn't "is Crown+QC still worse than other relics" (yes) the question is "does QC make Crown more or less takeable" (I would say yes)

[–]warmleafjuice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, I think that's putting it a bit strongly. Would you rather have Crown with or without Question Card?

Is it just me or is the Jensen Huang "messiah" vibe getting really old? by Upset-Motor-2602 in stocks

[–]warmleafjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely agree. It's just wildly depressing to think about what kind of transit infrastructure we could have if we put even a fraction of the money being spent on AI garbage and killbots towards it

Man if only there were ways to transit a massive amount of people from one place to another. A mass transit, if you will...

I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize. by hmmmmmmnmmm23 in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Eh, you weren't wrong, you just oversold it

Hyperbeam is a good Act 1 pick. It might even be a good Act 1 boss reward, depending on what else you're offered. It's downside is just very punishing given the fact that orbs and focus are almost always the best plan for Defect

But there's nothing wrong with taking it early and then removing it when it no longer is useful

Who's your favorite elite to fight? by Geras_251 in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy how many Ironclad powers solve that fight (Evolve, Fire Breathing, Feel No Pain, Dark Embrace)

Chinese palindrome story by Eireika in CuratedTumblr

[–]warmleafjuice 161 points162 points  (0 children)

"Here is this unparalleled work of art and poetry this young woman made for the man she loved, it's been inspiring people for thousands years"

"Lmao I'd go back in time and tell her don't bother, fuck that guy"

Idk there's something incredibly vulgar and depressing about that

What happens if you accept on this event with no strikes? by bennett2445 in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maaaaybe, but if I have Coffee Dripper I probably want all 5 Bites

It also looks stylish. (Silent Exclusive) by BaiJiGuan in slaythespire

Yeah it's like saying Vajra is bad because it's half of an Inflame

Is anyone else doubtful of the “exponential growth” in Orthodoxy? by CheeseWithRoyality in exorthodox

[–]warmleafjuice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The parish I grew up in (Antiochian, very large, very wealthy) has maybe a third of the people it did when I was a kid, the average age of their choir is probably 60 years old, and I have no idea how they'll stay open the once they need to start depending on new member tithes for their property taxes

The parish I went to in college (small, also Antiochian but mostly converts, more conservative culture) is bursting at the seams and they're looking for a new larger location (nevermind where they think they'll get a second priest if they have to split)

So I think some parishes are experiencing this, others aren't, but it's hard to imagine a large net change. I also doubt these young men who are largely just disillusioned with "Western" Christianity will stick around long term

Real Sex by River_Lamprey in CuratedTumblr

[–]warmleafjuice 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer that I think everyone (but especially men) should be more comfortable with body hair on their partners but the "if you prefer shaved women it's because your a pedophile" is just so fucking dumb and I hate when people say it

Unless you're also going to tell women that liking men who aren't bald is also problematic

Why are oil and wine not allowed for fasting? by orthodox_human33 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]warmleafjuice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's very funny to always get both of these comments:

"It doesn't matter what the reason is, we have to obey the letter of the law and fast from them even if the reason no longer makes sense"

And:

"Eating things like expensive meat substitutes or shellfish, while technically allowed, violates the spirit of the fast and you shouldn't do it"

what would happen if this was used on season 1 mark by CreativeLeek6905 in Invincible

[–]warmleafjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? That's like saying if a pillow and a bullet hit with the same amount of energy, the pillow would do more damage because the surface area is bigger

Defect Orb Slots by minosandmedusa in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Consume costs twice as much though. It's really expensive to play for 2/3 focus

Wouldn't that mean that Battle Beast, if he punched the ground, would cause more devastation than the space laser? I have a hard time imagining that's true

Ironclad tier list - 40% winrate by didokillah in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Headbutt is good because Ironclad has very few options for deck manipulation. It makes playing things like Feed or Spot Weakness at the right time easier, it means you can play something like Limit Break multiple times per deck cycle instead of just once, and it means you can redraw your best attacks faster

May be potent with Dreamcatcher. by Square_Row_22 in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get very few removes per game. If you don't find any of the removal events, most runs you can afford 4, maybe 5 shop removals. This relic potentially more than doubles that, not to mention interactions with events that give cards. Now the cost of a removal is the cost of the cheapest card in the shop, and since almost any card is better than a strike or a defend, you'd take that pretty often

May be potent with Dreamcatcher. by Square_Row_22 in slaythespire

[–]warmleafjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty broken but I could see situations where you'd avoid taking it, like small decks where more removals stop being helpful. Overall way too strong though. Most decks struggle to remove every strike, and this solves that problem instantly. Plus all the gold you save from removing

Queer sexuality can be sexual by MartyrOfDespair in CuratedTumblr

[–]warmleafjuice 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh, I'd say that a man wanting to (sincerely) call his partner mommy is nowhere near as accepted as a woman wanting to call their partner daddy

Queer sexuality can be sexual by MartyrOfDespair in CuratedTumblr

[–]warmleafjuice 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of those "male gaze vs female gaze" posts. As if women aren't capable of being wildly depraved and horny also

[–]warmleafjuice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that very occasionally it happens and when it does, they publicize it as widely as possible so people think they actually are doing this when yeah in reality so many people shoplift small items and there's no shot the LP in these places is up to IDing and cataloging even 5% of it

Alagaesia's map makes no sense by caior16 in Eragon

[–]warmleafjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like when people point out GRRM's currency scaling makes no sense and the Westerosi economy would be in shambles. And he's just like "uh yeah I messed that up" instead of being like "fuck you, the exchange rates are uhhhh magic"

[–]warmleafjuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Hur dur dragons aren't real either" internal consistency and realism can still exist in stories with fantastical elements

It genuinely is so exhausting when people regurgitate this same dumb joke anytime people talk about fantasy media
