Finally, words to express the way I really feel

Not a type but a theme: Moon Badge. Team is Lunatone, Clefable, Umbreon, Ursaluna. The latter would all have poor movesets to counterbalance their evolved stats + give the player an implicit lesson about not evolving their pokemon too early, so they can benefit from their early stage learnsets.

TTRPG with 187 pages that boils down to "just wing it." TTRPG with 2 pages that boils down to "just wing it." The illusion of choice.

"why research anything?" i can and will hunt ai for sport. i can hit it with a bat, it cannot hit back. evolution has been preparing me for this very moment. ai i am in your walls.

My feed is increasingly looking like the pre-credit montage of headlines in a post apocalyptic action movie.

This is how I was sold on it years ago. Between all the weapon types and crafting and upgrade trees and other subsystems, Monster Hunter is like 10 diff games and if you are good at a couple or decent at half, then you are good at Monster Hunter.

Got to thinking about this essay today and realized (with some irony) I should probably post it at least once since it does a good job of explaining the rationality for why I've never posted very often cjthex.substack.com/p/those-aren...

One of the biggest things that made me better at winning games of all kinds was understanding the difference between "playing to win" vs "playing not to lose". A gamble with only a 50% chance to pay off is actually a safer play than a series of surer bets which won't earn you enough to win the game.

#TTRPG ADDED MORE GAMES AND NOW IT'S TO THE TUNE OF THE SONG AND EVEN SORTA RHYMES A LITTLE BIT ⬇️🧵

Every day I have to hear about some asshole

Kind of a cross between mechanics/world, what you might call the vibes I guess? Like for my Hades-inspired game it started as wanting to bottle the feeling of concocting absurd character builds to commit high-octane violence while the gods watch, in a setting where death doesn't matter.

I'm the guy in the market who sounded like they were starting some interesting unique overworld dialogue but as you walked across the square in my direction a fucking story cutscene triggered and afterwards you never heard anything but generic lines from me again.

Writing a restriction like this is like a designer peeling back the curtain and taking most of the set with it. Tho I AM amused at the idea of a game where every character has a precisely listed number of times theyre allowed to be narratively impactful, and when they run out the session just ends.

Went 4-3 in the tourney! Deck performed as I expected, but turns out what I expected wasn't v good. Being decent against every high-tier deck isn't great if no matchups are actually *favorable* Still believe some variant of this might be solid in the future. It will one day be time to EGGSTERMINATE

Gonna see if my boy Exeggecutor can carry me all the way from this meta into the next

Really cool youtuber guest lineup, give it a look whynot

anyways the only major news outlet I've seen directly call musk's nazi salute a nazi salute is the Daily Show so if you had any doubt that mainstream journalism is completely cooked, abolish that doubt from your mind
