Topic | Anime & Manga Discussion Topic 276: Day 325 Stone Ocean is not confirmed |
Sceptilesolar 08/28/20 8:21:58 PM #312 | To be honest, I felt like my biggest problem with Worm was just how creative it could get with its power usage. Also, though, consider reading the Vigilantes spinoff. I think it's a lot better than the main series. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 08/02/20 1:44:55 PM #456 | I don't think devoid was ever really a problem, but it was sold as a mechanic when it really wasn't. It's functionally identical to Ghostfire's colorless mana identity, but once you label it with a keyword, people expect more from it than mere labeling. I don't think it's a big fault simply because it's really not obvious that people would react that way, but basically it would have all been solved if they had found a visual symbol to use to indicate the colorless mana identity instead of keywording it. It also only has flavor significance, for the most part, so unless it was on a setting with a heavy colorlessness theme, even colorless mana identity isn't likely to come back. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |
Topic | Tales Of Crestoria Released (Mobile Game) |
Sceptilesolar 07/18/20 11:07:35 AM #255 | I'm not expecting to spend too long on this game, being only somewhat versed in Tales games, but I figure I'll try it out and see some of the story. Finally had a good reroll with 4x SSRs, not including the free one, so I have Kohaku, Jude, Milla, Kanata, and the Rita I picked. Seems good enough to me. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 07/03/20 9:54:47 PM #150 | My memory of Kill la Kill is pretty spotty, but I don't remember Ragyo being remotely sympathetic in the way her song presents. Also they used only a tiny snippet of her song for her introduction that made it seem more menacing than the full song actually is, so it's not a great representation. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/28/20 7:18:03 PM #2 | I mean, this deck can't beat Rest in Peace/Leyline of the Void very easily. If you want to just counter him outright. But really you could just play a faster deck, especially one that doesn't win with creatures. Like a spellslinger type deck. Edit: Or an artifact combo deck, of which there are many. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

I don't think it has a lot of great tracks (and it's kinda hurt by not having a real final boss theme), but Spiral of Erebos is my favorite dungeon theme in the series. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

I will regretfully pass on the SQ because even that temptation won't have me break the chronological order. An event would basically kill any hope of it but without one and I can just focus the whole two weeks on Salem and LB1? ...Maybe? Just skip Salem for now?

Sceptilesolar 06/19/20 1:48:26 PM #328 | Yeah 6-6 is really dull. I would say it drags the game down, but 6-4 already does that splendidly. It was certainly a disappointment compared to 5-6 which I really like, anyway. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/16/20 2:19:44 PM #371 | Sometimes the autotapper guesses wrong. The rule of 'prioritize tapping lands that allow the player to cast an available spell' isn't such a bad one. You just have to learn not to take it for granted. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/16/20 2:15:12 PM #184 | Not only is it so inscrutably Japanese that even a weeb like me can't appreciate it. Not only is it a really bad showing for Athena in this game, who I like overall. I just can't forgive the game for the culprit's boob jokes. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Topic | Magic the Gathering bans racist cards |
Sceptilesolar 06/13/20 2:10:40 PM #130 | I also don't really agree with the premise that an unpleasant fantasy element is necessarily worth including even if it is genre-appropriate and something the setting can explore. That's why D&D-likes move away from the Half-Orc 'product of rape' backstory that was so endemic to early D&D. Yes, it's appropriate, but it's unpleasant enough that it is better excluded nonetheless. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |
Topic | Magic the Gathering bans racist cards |
Sceptilesolar 06/13/20 2:06:17 PM #128 | I'm not sure I would call any of these cards 'exploring the complexity of problematic natures of humanity'. There's no great meaning to 'Crusade, a card that is a reference to the historical Crusades'. I don't see what intrinsic value that has that needs to be preserved. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/13/20 9:07:20 AM #76 | Mass Calcify destroys all nonwhite creatures, which is arguably worse in that respect. I don't think white and black being in-game terms is a problem by itself though, so it doesn't really matter. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/13/20 6:49:41 AM #66 | No, it is true that, in the past, they have refused to make functional reprints of cards on the Reserved List. Not that anyone cares about Invoke Prejudice for non-racist reasons, but if that were somehow a card with a useful effect, it would be hard to replace it for this reason. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 06/10/20 11:29:00 AM #44 | Musse was very good for me, but Arts has a really sharp curve of usefulness as the game progresses. They start out very weak, but once you have access to Bells and Cast 3 (to say nothing of Diabolos Gem) Arts become insane. I don't mind Musse's crafts though, they're limited but they do all they need to. Ash was the character I used the least of new Class 7, since the area on his crafts is really harsh. --- Just killing time until the world ends. |

Sceptilesolar 05/25/20 7:42:07 PM #10 | As I recall, the primary point against me was that I was on Puns instead of Red when I had a strong preference for Red rather than Lea. My explanation is that the last time I checked the votals, with very little time left in the day, Red had a massive lead. You don't believe this explanation.
