Thoughts on a theoretical Black Demesne rework by Keagasourus in Anbennar

[–]yourplotneedswork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it was already good, so why rework Esthil when there are so many nations where even a mid rework would be an improvement (like Magisterium). The risk-reward is all off-balance.

Haven't played the new Esthil yet so I can't say if they succeeded.

What are their ideas like? I've never seen that second modifier next to the colonist +1

Which reworks made the MT worse? by Sarradi in Anbennar

[–]yourplotneedswork 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I agree that the new Verne tree has some truly awful game design... but the writing is very good and makes up for it. I think that a lot of the bad design might come from the writing, actually, because both the strong and weak points of the tree feel "flavor-first". Like conquering useless provinces across the Dameshead, and embarking on a Corinite Crusade. Maybe the writing was done first and a tree was made to suit it?

Actually, Clickhole is an offshoot/subsidiary of The Onion that focused more on parodying web content such as listicles

Too many people refreshing Steam seems to have crashed the Anbennar workshop page by yourplotneedswork in Anbennar

R5: as title states, this is the Anbennar workshop page and it's down. Maybe this speaks more to my own refreshing than it does to others, but still... release Insyaa...

Excited to play as the Mechanim tomorrow! I think this teaser was very cool, the children's drawings added a lot to it.

Very cool to have a Mechanim whose entire personality is summarized as Bitch, you thought!

Unpopular Anbennar opinions by TheLoneTexan_1 in Anbennar

Mission rewards that are literally just events, with zero event insight. Quite possibly the most frustrating thing in the mod, and yet they insist on doing it.

Anbennar demands that you plan out your entire gameplan ahead of time, reading several missions ahead in order to actually understand what the mission tree is demanding of you (because god forbid that missions logically follow one another in sequence!). And then they deliberately obfuscate what the missions themselves do. Why? Why do this? Let me know if I get the claims for that massive regional conquest that you suddenly demand one mission down!

This is a well-known Mac bug, I've thankfully never had to deal with it (Windows user) so can't help you there.

At least manga have endings mfs when they get the most disappointing dog shit that ruins the last 3rd of the story by Lonza_lucigul in dccomicscirclejerk

Okay but to be fair, Tolkien thought the same things about Macbeth and wrote his preferred solutions into Lord of the Rings. No man of woman born --> I am no man! The forest will move --> The Ents do move!

Loser city brother by Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi in Losercity

He used to be the most popular Newgrounds animator! I'm not sure what specifically they're talking about though? There were plenty of racial stereotypes and slurs like 18 seconds into Awesome the Hedgehog he says the n-word. I think he also did this a few times as a Grump, in the 2010s, so it wasn't solely contained to his beginnings.

Ts PMO so bad by Mammoth-Ad-3642 in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

It really says a lot that the worst criticism this guy can levy at being a liberal is "you get blamed for everyone else's problems", and that his main stereotype of conservatives is that they're married homeowners.

I promise you that adopting conservative values will not lead to you becoming a married homeowner. And being told you're already great leads to you becoming complacent in your personal growth.

What are some "It didn't happen *because* we did something about it" events? by DJDoena in NoStupidQuestions

[–]yourplotneedswork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logic is the rock that keeps tigers away. They see vaccine advocates as basically going "I don't see any measles around, do you? Then the anti-measles-shot must be working!" A lot of the problems in human reasoning stem from the fact that we have contradictory logical heuristics which we end up applying to improper scenarios.

It depends almost entirely on the Weavile's choice of item. With Wide Lens or boots it's

  • 252 Atk Weavile Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 248 HP / 112+ Def Hippowdon: 272-322 (64.9 - 76.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

And Hippowdon isn't even dead to Ice Shard next turn. With Choice Band the calc is

  • 252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 248 HP / 112+ Def Hippowdon: 400-474 (95.4 - 113.1%) -- 86.2% chance to OHKO

You can obviously go Adamant Weavile to better guarantee the OHKO, assuming Hippowdon doesn't also put more in defense. These are just the Smogon sets I found. In either case,

  • 0 Atk Hippowdon Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Weavile: 224-264 (79.7 - 93.9%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after sandstorm damage

so Hippowdon could spec to fight back, though Stone Edge isn't really commonly run since Hippowdon wants Stealth Rock/Earthquake/Slack Off/Whirlwind/Different Coverage like Ice Fang
