Randomly gave it a spin. Good deck, but died to heart. Still, it was really a misplay on the Spear and Shield that did me in.

thighjob!!! very soft thighjob! ✏️: @rayrie.bsky.social #ShiroNSFW

blue shoos...

Guhh, I cannot get enough of her Atou from Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra

Oh, Slay the Spire 2 is on Godot, eh

Junking really is a mechanic that's significantly easier in digital games, too much of a bother in analog ones. Despite being a concept that requires having a deck of cards.

There's some interesting asymmetry in Slay the Spire where you can poison enemies, but they never poison you. And enemies can burn you but you can't junk them.

Advantages of each TTRPG setting: Fantasy: Don't have to worry about tech like computers, guns, and phones. Sci-fi: Tech like teleporters, shields, and ESP is basically magic. Modern: I can put pop music in my GMing playlist.

Starcraft II Archipelago has been fun. Particular highlights for me are getting Infestors early on to neural parasite a bunch of Quillgors Having to do The Dig without Seige Tanks and Bunkers Having access to Time Stop, Solar Bombardment, and Purifier Beam all at the same time

I'm having trouble opening video games again. Even though I have so many I could play... 😔

I want a grid, but tbh, I'm still beside myself on the cubes vs hexes thing for maps.

One of my favourite rewards/motivators in video games is cosmetics. But it's hard to supply/justify it as a reward in TTRPGs.

Negotiation is probably my favourite part of Draw Steel so far...

Come to think of it, people just make up board games right? Like that's a thing you do and instead of publishing it you just play it with your friends?? Surely that's a thing. Maybe I should make up a board game.

Also found out during my testing that, unintuitively, you can put zealots behind stalkers in no-micro mirror fights. It's just more important to get the initial volley of shots before your opponent and have the high HP stalkers tank. Maybe Direct Strike players know this better...

I'm watching Justice League, the original. But I'll get to Unlimited soon.

Draw Steel is out. Core rules are like $90 (CAD) for me :combust: I wonder how much of the content will be made available online free, if ever.

Slow game speed attempt The opening volleys are most important. That's when the shots are most synchronized. And if you fumble even one blink dodge at the beginning the knock-on effects the rest of the fight are huge.

I tried doing this myself, 10 stalkers vs 12 I was able to get it a few times on the SLOWEST game speed. It put into perspective how insurmountable a 20% diff in numbers is. youtube.com/shorts/g1CJf...

Played House Party. Nonstandard fare for me, but it was given out for free on GoG. Pretty fun of an adventure game where you get to know people and play with items you pick up. I rly like small-but-dense worlds. And this one is just one night and one house.

Listening to this today 🤘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHF6...

funny alien and robot girl get into situations hijinks ensue good watch so far

New account. For gaming and other hobbies, as before. I figured I'd separate things again so the main accounts and their media tabs remain focused on art and projects.
