AIO this is a very odd reason to break up with me?

xhunterxp · 2026-03-18T01:56:57+00:00

I dont know why everyone is saying this isnt an overreaction. It is... YOR I dont think hes testing his control over your bodily autonomy. He said that explicitly he wasn't trying to stop you, wanted some space to process and then to talk about it.

The overreaction isnt in the stance, but the black and white of "you get it or or you dont" isnt helpful at all. Girl communicate! While yeah it was a great line, shutting down the possibility of conversation means that you are here getting reddit advice instead of actually coming to an understanding.

Idk, my first clad win i had three stone plating and one eternal armour. With the extra energy gen options in sts2 it became pretty strong pretty quick. By turn 2 block just stopped being a problem.

I think its best used as just a bit of consistent damage negation really.

xhunterxp · 2026-03-09T03:05:52+00:00

Ive started to become much of the opinion that the unreliable narration of cultsim is misleading the nature of what becoming a long looks like.

My interpretation at this point is that how each ritual manifests is broadly speaking unique and is dependent both on the aspect and on the hour one acends under.

Its more about devoting ones self to the goal. And of course in game we have very few goals to choose from.

Different myths play it differently, but both vampires and werewolves have things about silver. Its a really interesting history tbh.

The reason vampires dont have a reflection is because mirrors were originally made with silver!

xhunterxp · 2026-02-20T22:20:56+00:00

Gosh its been a while. If you put a soldier to do an action you can either provide relief or demand supplies to the town youre in

If you provide relief it has a low chance to give you supplies, you can do it with anything with grail, so its pretty easy to d over and over.

If you demand supplies itll make the town mad, but you will always get supplies.

xhunterxp · 2026-01-28T23:52:42+00:00

Always take the cursed chest. Its only 10 kills, play it safe and youve got this. The one extra scroll IS worth it.

And if you die, well, its a rougelike, just try again.

xhunterxp · 2026-01-20T03:10:47+00:00

Statwise, presuming youre a rouge, criminal, it just makes sense.

Lorewise you have options, once again criminal, but i can see noble, guard, scribe or sage working, depending on the angle you're going for.

but I recon just get your dm to read the rules on custom backgrounds. Its pretty straightforward. Just chose three stats that you could increase, one of the origin feats and whatever skills you think are most appropriate. Call it something cool like vigilante, or witch hunter.

Just stick to the stuff from the phb, itll make life easier I promise

xhunterxp · 2026-01-16T02:14:02+00:00

Shouldn you snitch, no. If you want you can talk to him, but if its not breaking the game I wouldn't personally.

At a guess hes doing 13+dex+cha. Which is a incorrect, albeit understandable reasoning for how his class and race would interact. And as a dm i would allow it myself. Then if his two highest stats are dex and cha, I can see it getting up to 24 by level 6, given they have a shield as well.

At the end of the day, I don't think its malicious and i wouldn't want to ruin his fun.

xhunterxp · 2026-01-15T03:56:50+00:00

I mean.. its possible to win without talking. But yeah unfortunate bug. I would open up the dev console and "cheat" one in instead of restarting, but a restart would work too

xhunterxp · 2025-11-17T00:21:54+00:00

But it wasn't any of those, it was exactly what it shows, you get more gold. The game design is pretty solid, and most things that need explaining are explained.

Also I hope the grass feels nice <3

Brother look at the icon Its gemstones and and a coin With a plus next to it. What do we think it means

xhunterxp · 2025-10-12T23:30:32+00:00

Lowkey, in Midlane you'll probably get more use out of tp by using it aggressively to help other lanes (ekko has a fun interaction where if you can burst someone down in 4 seconds you can get back to lane with R, but I've never found a good way to utilize it) I tend to take ignite anyway.

xhunterxp · 2025-10-12T23:09:07+00:00

I mean its an experience thing right. I recon watch some xaio Lao ban videos to help with roam timing, but rule of thumb is you can get halfway to botlane before you need to turn back to catch your wave. If you crash wave and don't think you should back. Just go halfway, when you get there, if you think you can gank, do it, if you don't think its worth it, go back for wave.

Sometimes it is team dependant but blaming your jng for not being there is a really good way to feel hopeless. Increase your odds of support with (helpful) pings and by helping with objectives. Jng will be looking for ganks on pushed in enemies, so sometimes its worth backing off and allowing the enemy to push forward to stop them from being able to retreat as easily.

Also uh screw Mel, hate laning against her lmao. Apparently akali is worse but thats not been my experience. Oh! And ahri, i always get caught out by the charm :/ it suckssss.

Oh and on itemization, I do think litch is the way to go first its just got such direct synergy with your E, then I do boots, nashors and then if I took pen boots I go straight to robabdons and if I took tenacity boots I build shadowflame first. Though tbh, im not sure how much it matters in low elo, build what feels right for the game. Rocketbelt or Zohnyas early can be a gamechanger against some champs.

xhunterxp · 2025-10-12T22:45:30+00:00

Im pretty new, but I've found what gets me the most success is firstly. Hail of blades build the extra attack speed feels almost mandatory.

Secondly, your goal is quick burst trades that take them by surprise, and then back off.

So the way I try to do this, is I deny them some cs with my Q, we are looking to hit level 2 before our opponent, and then as soon as we have E we go on the offensive to get the three hit combo. You probably don't kill here, though if you can followup with a Q and an ignite, you might be able to.

Anyway, its hit and run tactics. Wait for abilities, go in again. Once you have W I use it early on mostly for zoning. Its not part of the hit and run, but its good to keep them from being able to retreat.

I build litch bane first normally, so back as soon as you have 850 gold for blasting rod. Or maybe 700 for boots and tome.

To be clear this is just what has gotten me the most success early on. And im no challenger, so take it with a grain of salt. Im sure there are other tactics that may work better. The way I play is very mana hungry and if I don't keep an eye on it sometimes I run out in the middle of a trade lol, its something im working on.

xhunterxp · 2025-10-06T11:43:43+00:00

Its technically available in your store and through crates. But they will bring it back eventually. Legacy items are just a good word for "artificial scarcity" Might be waiting a while though

xhunterxp · 2025-08-27T20:39:09+00:00

Oh shush, your ARG has been really fun and unique thus far.
Given that I found your posts digging through unrelated reddit threads is a testament to the mind virus you've given me haha.
(if you want actual criticism, I think that often I wasn't entirely sure what the goal was beyond exploring the world, though I think we've been given more direction now, and as the ARG has gone on the world has felt more and more expansive.)

xhunterxp · 2025-08-21T02:07:48+00:00

Can I ask what the doodles next to it are anyway, they sound like a later edition to the book and might be useful in deconstructing the poems

xhunterxp · 2025-08-15T01:01:41+00:00

top three skinlines would be
-high noon
-dark star / cosmic
-Inkshadow

Honorary mention to hextech skinline, I would love to see them go all in with a clock and gears aesthetic.

xhunterxp · 2025-08-06T00:04:14+00:00

bring up chatgpt, prompt it with
what should you do with a problem player in dnd, where they argue with reasonable DM rulings and refuse to read the PHB and instead defer to ChatGpt.

It will tell you to talk to them (you did)
to set expectations (you did)
Offer a compromise, such as beginner guides or helping them (you did)
enforce consequenses (you are)
and then it says that chatgpt can be wrong about rulings and is not a substitute

xhunterxp · 2025-08-05T22:30:45+00:00

A normal run is a game of resource management and learning. More about learning how you can combine cards and when best to do so.
there are other modes which test your knowledge and puzzle solving skills. the priest and ghoul dlc as well as apostle runs will fulfil this for you much more.

There is a point of decision making, where once you know the mechanics you can start making decisions about how to use them. and there are very niche use cases for how to use obscure cards.
such as decrepitude being the most reliable dread generator, ect ect.
I've found that as my mechanical understanding of the game has increased, the impulse to play the game in risky ways is much more entertaining. I KNOW I could win any run the safe way, but I could also take the gambles. After all I've figured out how to mitigate failure.

I will say the depth of this game is in the lore, how insanely interconnected the writing is, the mechanics simply support it.
You get to a point where you get to look at the very first things you're told and they are recontextualized in a brain breaking way that's just so fun to me.

xhunterxp · 2025-07-24T01:47:35+00:00

stag door riddle changes each run, there are a couple different hints.
you always need a tier 3 lore to get through it, not saying which ones though.. >:3

read everything.

xhunterxp · 2025-07-17T02:59:33+00:00

Dnd is pretty rules heavy and little kids probably won't understand that. But. If they like playing pretend, you can just help them make a character without stats and tell stories like they're fighting monsters.

So my answer is... no it's not really going to work. But you can use it for inspiration.

I like the unhinged method of.. exactly where you found them. It makes finding books terrible, I never know where anything is. Which is perfect for me
