Yup, and never bothered to clarify even when responses were given or when explicitly called out on apparent contradictions. Reposting images or memes is one thing, since the image is the whole point, but I can’t comprehend reposting personal asks from Reddit over to Lemmy. The entire point of a community like this would be to give help and answers to the actual OP, who in this case would never even see them.

These aren’t stories, these aren’t entertainment, they are (supposed to be) earnest questions people want answers to. I replied to a few of them assuming good faith, and received not a single word back. It’s just lame, I thought they were honestly asking for some guidance initially.

Thank you very much, I appreciate you checking it out! I love hearing about the how’s and why’s of what people create, so made sure to write about it here. If I get any response from Alastor, I’ll add an update to it.

You’re simply sharing the joy of yelling with your baby. Now you’re a parent and a teacher of a fun and valuable skill, which the baby seems eager to learn!

YELLING IS AWESOME!

Something that stresses me out is when the game tosses me into scaling +mult with Ride the Bus, and then trying to discard face cards while playing something like pairs. Only scored face cards reset the bus, and if you have a hand full of them with no discards, you will be screwed if you don’t burn them in earlier hands. Every time I toss what should be an unscored face card into a hand, I get a bit of a sweat I fucked it up and will blow the run. A learned stress after absently mindedly clicking and making a two pair instead of a pair on more than one occasion, it’s not a nice feeling!

I do, and have, posted OC here and to other communities. I pretty much have a rule that this account will only ever post things I’ve made, photos I’ve taken, things like that. This also comes with the caveat that I simply don’t create all that much, and when I do, it’s likely not relevant to a lot of communities anyway.

Only thing I’ve created this past month was an FSF memorabilia action unboxing video of a plush GNU I won. Not exactly the meme centric type of post 196 largely appreciates lol. If I create something I feel fits in the future though, I’ll post it!

Find hive, throw it.

I understand what you mean, so many people love to harp on about skill, quality, and commercial viability when they talk about ‘art’ for some reason. Fuck that noise, art is just a genuine desire to express yourself. All I want in this world is for others to feel willing to express themselves, and share it with others—genuine human to human dialogue. No matter what you create, as long as you wanted to make it and express yourself, you are an artist. More than that, a human with experiences who wants to communicate with others, and that is wonderful no matter what.

Please keep creating! From one artist to another, making what you want to is always worth it. Putting yourself out there takes courage, self expression is vulnerable, and people will be hurtful sometimes. Try to remember you are valid, and deserve the ability to express yourself like anyone else. You are an artist! I’m not saying platitudes either, I still remember your comfy sweater post from a couple weeks ago I commented on. Anyway, thank you for creating, and please keep expressing yourself.

Oops sorry, that was my bad! Thanks for the heads up, and too bad about the run. What a buzzkill that must’ve been.

The answer for this setup is basically luck, but also some unlocks and strategy of course. The pillars holding this up are:

• Pekero, a Legendary Joker which can only be acquired at random after finding a 0.3% chance The Soul card while opening a Spectral or Tarot pack in the shop. There are several, but this one is required for the effect to make a negative copy of a consumable item you hold after exiting the shop.
• Ghost deck, required to obtain spectral cards in the shop. It is otherwise incredibly difficult to obtain spectrals as a consumable, and you need to have Pekero make negative copies of Cryptid specifically.
• Cryptid, a spectral card which creates two duplicates of a selected card in your hand. When in a blind, this means you are temporarily increasing the cards held in hand by two as well.
• Brainstorm, a rare joker only unlocked after discarding a Royal Flush. Brainstorm copies the ability of the leftmost joker slot, meaning if you have Pekero there before exiting the shop, you can create multiple negative copies of a consumable such as Cryptid. Blueprint is similar, but for the joker to the right of it instead.
• Baron, a rare joker which makes Kings give 1.5x xMult while held in hand. In this case, the ideal setup is a red seal steel king, so the xMult effect triggers several times, alongside Baron being duplicated by Brainstorm.
• Joker duplication, as you normally only get access to one at any given time. This can be achieved through the destructive spectral cards at an opportunistic time (like Ankh when you only have one joker), or getting lucky with Invisible joker, a rare joker unlocked by winning a run with only ever having four jokers at one time. After two completed blinds you can sell it for a random duplicate. You can also hold onto Showman, an uncommon joker which allows duplicates to show up in the shop. Ideally you’d duplicate both blueprint and Brainstorm, but I assume this run didn’t get the chance. You’d also normally have Mime, to further retrigger held in hand effects.

After all that, you’d just keep beating blinds, accumulating Cryptids, and whenever you’re ready, duplicate an unholy amount of red seal steel kings and have like 100 kings in a ridiculous hand. Play high card, and let the fun start!

Favorite deck is definitely Anaglyph, no question. The feeling of hitting several negative tags is just far too fun for me, but obviously it gives you much more flexibility for skipping to really turn around something you’re behind on (like economy as you mentioned). I also like Ghost deck a lot given the free polychrome, and the unique ability to get spectral cards in the shop.

I think people hating on Black deck is pretty much the norm, so I’ll say another one that bothers me is Nebula deck. It’s not even that it’s particularly super hard as much as it is that I can’t stand only having one consumable until maybe Crystal Ball shows up as a voucher. I want to collect tarots to utilize in the shop before opening a tarot pack, so I have to hold one fewer card. I want to gamble on High Priestess and Emperor sometimes (or maybe just pump numbers up for Constellation or Fortune Teller), but they are way less useful. Sometimes I’ll just take one absent-mindedly and then realize, that’s right, I’m on dumb Nebula deck and only get one card roll. Sometimes I want to hold onto a copy of the fool and utilize a blue seal, or maybe two blue seals, and I can’t do that either. Ante 1 telescope voucher is not worth this price.

As for Erratic deck, I was expecting a lot more than what it actually is because I guess I didn’t consider probability properly. Most of the time when I check the deck for any given seed I get a somewhat even suit spread with all cards somewhere between like 2-6 in quantity. I already reset for an actually useful small blind skip tag, no way I’m also tacking on significantly more for a much more rare interesting Erratic deck.

What do they say about the furry femboy, Jimbo?

Don’t forget Mastodon! We’re already here on Lemmy after all, may as well mention the properly federated alternative too.

Also want to piggy back because if this is a sona, do you (OP) have a clear idea of what you are or look like? The more time you spend figuring these things out, writing detailed stuff down, making crude sketches or perhaps editing bases, the more likely whoever it is that you speak with will be able to bring your idea and identity to life. Whatever mediums work best to help you visualize your sona, will also help the person drawing it. In this way, both of you have less headache making changes, or being dissatisfied with results.

I am a simple man. If I see negative tag, I skip the blind.

With great puter comes great responsibility.

Comfy sweaters are the best!
