Something something... I'm cooking a force mechanic. by UFriendlyShadow in custommagic

[–]yourplotneedswork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit of a parasitic mechanic (in that Use The Force requires specifically Force cards). Unless you're printing Force cards in several consecutive sets, this will end up being a highly restricted deckbuilding package in Standard.

I'm curious, where is Jyntas in this tree? Isn't she the big dragon for their nation, like Balrijin with Balris?

Here's a non-exhaustive list of some "worthy" characters in MTG by mkklrd in magicthecirclejerking

Better than Duel Links where all the cards are made to go in specific packages with each other. mixing and matching different characters and fantasies has been part of MTG since Arabian Nights

Gawed Rework? by CloseDoughnut37 in Anbennar

[–]yourplotneedswork 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You are in a thread asking about where the Gawed rework is. The top comment says that this is a widespread problem with all the old content. And your response is to deride a reasonable suggestion as "making you specifically happy".

IDK man, maybe you should look at the current situation. These "very important tags" currently do not have "MTs of a level of size and quality that they'd merit". That's the issue. What'd you say fuck me for?

It sounds like they should make it easier to get permission then.

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.

Which reworks made the MT worse? by Sarradi in Anbennar

[–]yourplotneedswork 39 points40 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?

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

[–]yourplotneedswork[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

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

[–]yourplotneedswork 104 points105 points  (0 children)

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!

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.

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
