i got all the steam badges for pyre
yes, i payed money to get it
no i am not ashamed

@serene tulip I have all the Pyre achievements too though 
Well, technically all but one. The only one I don't have is Lick of Flame but I did get it, it just didn't count because I got disconnected or something, it's pretty easy to get. But yeah, basically my whole achievements showcase is Pyre achievements, because True Nightwing is 0.80% rarity right now, they are all even rarer than FEZ achievements, which are pretty hard to get.

cedar rock
hard to tell its just a lot of very small glimpses
its a card game, a competitive character based fps, a fighting game, and something that looked diablo-like but there was no details on it
also an animated series
suffice to say a lot bigger than most people were expecting for the 10 year anniversary of league
upbeat scroll
aping blizzard's whole lineup, huh
cant blame em
are they all in the league universe?

The hero shooter isn't
cedar rock
yea i think all of them but the shooter are
raven harbor
Like truth be told I can't see myself going back to League but if company policies are actually turning around from however many months ago I'm in on a couple of those projects
Especially since a chunk of them will likely be free?
I hope they learned that charging for a card game is a mistake from Artifact lol
cedar rock
the card game monetization will be interesting. they seemed to stress in the video that they were not into the idea of paying for randomized card packs, so i wonder in what way itll be monetized
hasty kernel
Hero shooter isnt, the others are
It seems you can buy effectively a card of your choice
So that likely is their monetization
raven harbor
I'll have to actually catch up on the vids once I get out of D&D
hasty kernel
Anyway, brief overlook: Hero shooter that seems CS:GO-like in terms of the core gameplay. Also mentions stopping cheaters and fixing netcode
Given that league is basically hacker-proof (Ive been playing the damn game for 10 years, Ive seen one hacker), and their infrastructure is technically impressive, I am optimistic about those
upbeat scroll
good netcode? by riot?
hasty kernel
Theyve come a very long way since the weekly burning EU server

yea they seem pretty focused on aim, which in combination with abilities is pretty cool to me because I got frustrated a lot by overwatch abilities. thats really hard to speculate from like 2 clips tho lol

Fighting game looked solid
But very little info
Standard 1 on 1, good choices that are locked into the roster, most likely UMvC3 style

Card game looks curious
Its Artifact-esque, somehow
But fixes most of what players hated about Artifact, including monetization

Im not sure about the animated series
Vi is not an interesting character (And the worst designed kit the game has), while Jinx is a bit, uh, hit or miss
I hope that we get at least some of the other Zaun/Piltover champs appearing
In particular my boy Viktor
lavish anchor
I'd argue Mundo has a pretty bad kit, coming from someone who played him back in the day
raven harbor
Yeah I don't think I agree that Vi is anywhere near the bottom of the poorly-designed barrel
lavish anchor
Besides, if anyone deserves more story and to be in an animated series, the obvious pick is my giant metal encased, nigh emotionless boy Nautilus!
lavish anchor
Drag them down
cedar rock
like just getting a cinematic of what is already written about him would be so ocol
im hoping that while there is a good story to the series that theres also lots of snippets of stuff we are more familiar with
lavish anchor
I was too bad at the game to play squishies so I got familiar with all the chunk in the roster
And Naut is a hefty bit of chunk!

Also, Senna!
cedar rock
yea thats hype
serene tulip
who'saprettybirb
hasty kernel
Mundo has a dumb kit, yes, but Vis kit commits a cardinal sin that solidly puts her as the worst design
She has no counterplay. By design, at that. She is extremely unfair, and can prevent one player of her choosing from enjoying their game, with everyone being powerless to stop her
Also the one who deserves an animated series is the always misunderstood Viktor
Though I'm at least glad they unscrewed Viktors lore and gave him one of the best short stories
chilly flume
haven't played the game in a long time but no counterplay sounds very wrong from my experience, especially now that stopwatch is a thing
hasty kernel
Stopwatch is a one-time thing
Outside of that, the adc or his team can't do anything
It's targeted, so you can't escape. Vi is cc-immune midflight, so you can't just cc her
Hell he even changed the cc-type from the original stun to knockup
To ensure that it cannot be cleansed or QSSd
As those would be counterplay, and he did not want Vi to have even the slightest bit of counterplay
He was very meticulous about removing every possible counterplay avenue, and he unfortunately succeeded
raven harbor
I mean if she's built to delete someone she just dies immediately
And if she isnt then there's a plethora of tanks that can peel her off someone
Especially since she can't Q through them
Also Pokemon announced FAT PIKA and I am here for it
serene tulip
what can I say except good morning, to the tides, the sun, the sky
raven harbor
serene tulip
Hey its okay, its okay, good morning
raven harbor
Good morning!
serene tulip
I'm just an ordinary sleepyguy
also
You're Welcome is a great song to do at karaoke
hasty kernel
I mean, yeah she dies immediately
But so does her target
And since she is the one picking the trade, it will always be favourable
The issue is that noone can stop her from choosing that trade and succeeding in it
She completely locks one player out of the game, and back when she wasnt kept intentionally weak (yeah riot doesnt actually want Vi to be viable, as they know how problematic of a design she is), she often decided games that no other player had input in.
serene tulip
And since she is the one picking the trade, it will always be favourable
you have obviously never played chess against me
hasty kernel
Rengar is almost as bad, legitimately the only reason he isnt is because there are 7 champs that have CC that can stop him
serene tulip
my chess philosophy is every trade is a good one, because if I'm the better player I will win with it.
hasty kernel
Against Vi, youre either Xayah or sivir, you have a morgana on your team, or youre just screwed
raven harbor
She can also still die in midair
hasty kernel
That is exceedingly unlikely, since she ccs people in the way and gets a shield
raven harbor
And from what I remember her ult range isnt that long
hasty kernel
800 on its own
Thats quite long actually, but not unavoidable
But combined with her Q, its 1550 range she can engage from
Thats outside sight range
A good 400 units outside, to be precise
raven harbor
But that brings the question of why the tank isn't immediately in her face in a teamfight
If she's that big a damage dealer
hasty kernel
She engages before the tank knows she is going to, and kills the ADC without the tank being able to do anything
Tanks are only good at peeling off the likes of, lets say, Yasuo
Or Fizz
They struggle with people who dash onto the target with great speed and/or cc-immunity
raven harbor
Fizz is a much more problematic kit imo
hasty kernel
Not really, Fizz has counterplay
Ever since they fixed the fish, a good deal of it for an assassin
raven harbor
It used to be worse when his bleed made no sense
hasty kernel
His bleed? That one was like never a real issue
What was an issue was that his fish had a nonsense hitbox
And did max damage up close
raven harbor
Yes it was? The fact that it scaled off missing health
serene tulip
witchdoctor is pretty problematic because he's obviously a charicature of bahamian voodoo priests and that's racist.
hasty kernel
A lot of things scale off of missing health, its practically an assassin special
Missing health damage on an assassin has never been a problem
raven harbor
No other dot scales off missing health
hasty kernel
On a tank it has been a bunch of times, but tank fizz doesnt really work
Did briefly, but I think at that point they already removed the % health from his W
Yeah, but a lot of raw skills do
raven harbor
The issue was that the bleed would recalculate damage every tick and deal way more than it meant to
hasty kernel
It did exactly as much as it was meant to, the recalculating is part of it
raven harbor
I'm saying that was a poor design choice
Because it was very hard to estimate just how much you'd take from it
hasty kernel
It was rather easy actually. Because losing 500 health meant 10 damage extra per tick
raven harbor
Aight
hasty kernel
What wasnt easy was calculating it with the damage amp from low health targets
From masteries
Because that one was a jump type threshhold
But yeah, missing health on assassins is generally fine, its bad on tanks and to a lesser degree bruisers
As it becomes free inevitable damage for them that is higher than what tanks normally should do
Anyway, as far as unhealthy kits go, Vi and Rengar are at the very top for the same lack of counterplay reason, and after that you get a bunch that have less crazy flaws, mostly breaking some rule they shouldnt break, having poor balance from solo Q to pro play, or just being wack
Ill still watch the series, because Vi as a character has a nice design, even if her personality is rather incredibly one-dimensional?
raven harbor
It seemed like the series was focusing on brand new characters from Piltover
hasty kernel
Yes and no
The blue haired and the red haired girls are Vi and Jinx when theyre younger
They, and the group theyre a part of all will almost certainly be the protagonists
Now the characters around them will be new characters from Piltover and Zaun, yes
The villains and allies as it were
Hopefully we also get Viktor appearing, but yeah, its Vi and Jinx origin story

That's the worst.

What game?
serene tulip
Stranded Sails Explorers of the Cursed Islands
serene tulip
what I wanted: a mixture of don't starve and stardew valley
What I've gotten: a poorly written version of those set on toddler difficulty.
cinder blaze
Ouch. That bad?
serene tulip
I mean, thats a bit harsh of me
but like the closest thing the cast right now has for personality is the french chef looking girl is tsundere
also: I have had no need to plan to do anything
gather resources, build what they tell me to, gather resources, build what they tell me to
there is nothing else to do besides harvest my 2 plants.
also sprinting uses energy and that makes me angry
serene tulip
aaand refund requested

RIP
serene tulip
there's no risk either
if you run out of stamina it just sends you back home
so no risk and no freedom
and no story
well, good story
and no amazing music
at least in the 2 hours I played it
wide ember
making a good game isn't easy I guess
still amazing that a game made by one very patient and dedicated guy can be miles ahead of games of similar genre made by entire teams
(fishponds are coming)
wide ember
btw @serene tulip , if you want a game that is a mix of don't starve and stardew, maybe http://www.unlok.ca/wayward/ will be more up your alley
it's free, and you can farm, but unfortunately the free version does not have NPCs (and you can't date them yet, only trade)
you do get chased by monsters or animals though

yeah the q&a is over now! but darren wasnt in this one

seems it would have been off topic anyways because I want to ask him questions about Will of the Scribes š

Not at all!! Next time we have a Q&A that Darren is a part of, please feel free to ask! We usually schedule these to coincide with our Hades updates, but questions about the processes for other games are always welcome.

it looks really good, i really hope they can hit that goal š
but if you share it around, you should probably share it with the fig link and not just the trailer!

@copper lark the two that jump out at me are bahamut as the tower (sudden change, upheaval) and crystal exarch as the hanged man (sacrifice, being suspended in time) based on my limited understanding of tarot
copper lark
ooh mayb exarch makes more sense as hanged man
for the hanged man i put 'thancred?????'
ionic viper
nah, that doesn't strike me as very him
i'm not sure which one he would be but i don't feel like hanged man would fit
copper lark
yea
u r correct
do u have anyone who could be the lovers bc
the twins somewhat fit but im doing everything i can to Not put them as the lovers
ionic viper

I wonder if the twins would be better match with either the hanged man or devil
Lovers is more the desert place leaders no
The lalafel queen and the general

WoL is def the fool c:
upbeat scroll
https://twitter.com/BabeyoftheDay/status/1185375900096794624 any fans of lwa in here
honest glade
Personally, I'd say the WoL is either Strength or The World.
Strength doesn't represent physical power, it's about strength of heart. Courage, unwavering willpower, continuing on in the face of adversity. If Strength comes up (right side up, anyway), more often than not, it's telling you/the person being read to roll with the punches in order to come out of the ordeal stronger than before. If you want a card that is the epitome of the Hero Archetype? That's Strength.
The World, on the other hand, is... almost the opposite of The Fool (since they are the ending and the beginning of the Major Arcana respectively). It's about being content with oneself and the knowledge gained from life's experiences. You've accomplished much, typically in the vain of promoting unity and/or enlightenment, and are ready to move on to a new journey. If it comes up in a spread, it usually means you need to travel or start anew.

Every time I open the file to work on the card I see her face and I get flustered. I've developed a crush on a fictional character who isn't even from or for anything.
