I haven't played or thought about Magic in a really long time but I'd like to thank this thread for making me aware of the cool art collabs. I bought the Lisa Frank cards as a gift for a friend who is on a Lisa Frank themed kickball team and I'm excited to see what she thinks.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:some of the banned cards were racist but in that insensitive grognard way while the 1488 card was intentionally racist and drawn by an artist who came out as a neo nazi wotc probably didnt know of the significance of 1488 but he likely did yeah, like he was probably angling to get that number for a while and wotc was probably like "huh, that's weird, but sure whatever." anyhow, which was the really gross rpg system that had all the absolutely gross rape poo poo in it as a core mechanic? that's the one i was having weird echoes of with the goon who modded rimworld.

NoiseAnnoys posted:occam's razor suggests that the racist artist probably really wanted to get the chance to illustrate card 1488, not that wotc are giant racists*. Yeah, but my understanding is that the card was drawn and in the game before the database was made and therefore the number was assigned to it. It’s just an amazingly unlikely coincidence, the one of the three cards drawn by the nazi, the one that was clearly an allusion to the kkk, ended up in 1488. Weirder things have happened, according to clickbait ads that pass themselves off as listicles I run into all the time when browsing social media.

theres a table top game made by white supramacists which is incredibly racist but also makes the master race (white people) the worst race in the game because they have no racist super powers and everything beats the poo poo out of them

Sure, I can do that. more like grand wizards of the coast amirite

I remember someone taking a look at FATAL and concluding that there was no point to investigating in any combat stats, because the combat system was a loving mess. The better way to kill poo poo was to exploit the orifice rupture rules by rolling a character with a penis and sticking said penis in the ear of anything that dared cross you.

The last time I played with a friend, he was doing a.. I think it was Barbaric Despoiler Necrophage or something like that, lots of words in a row. But his big trick was that he could bombard planets to steal their pops, and turn "unwanted" pops into members of his weird vampire species rather than just have them toiling away as slaves. So he spent most of the game picking fights with his neighbours for stupid reasons, immediately crippling them, and then spending the next few years just stealing everyone on their planets so they could be sent to the vampire mines. By endgame he had.. more pops than most of the galaxy, and his vampire production facility was backlogged by at least a century or so. And for some reason the community voted him emperor. We could have rigged it, but the AIs apparently thought he was the best choice even without him forcing the issue using his absurd diplomatic weight off all those stolen pops.

i havent played stellaris in a year or two but i always end up destroying all the other alien species i conquer because they're too stupid not to move to planets that they low habitability for and get huge debuffs. like you're from a jungle planet, why are you moving to a frozen mountain world?????????? gently caress you time to purge. i hope they get around to fixing that one day...

been playing a lot of master of orion 2 recently and in my early wars I'll carefully avoid civilian casualties (because those civilians are about to become productive citizens of my empire) but then once I hit the inflection point where I'm unstoppable and newly conquered colonies are just annoyances that ping me when they need orders I'll research the infinite-range fuel cells and just bomb the remaining half of the galaxy to death to get to the win screen or research evolutionary mutation, take telepathic as my bonus trait, and mind control them all so I don't need to bother building troop transports

I’ve honestly been kind of cold on Vicky 3, it feels so samey between all countries and I don’t know if the bones are there to fix what bugs me about it without pulling a Stellaris “woops, we don’t know what we want this game to be” Anyway it’s fine, I’ve got some Imperator: Rome to catch up on

16-bit Butt-Head posted:thats FATAL It's also the game where rerolling low stats and skills during character creation earns you allergies and mental handicaps. Also also, you roll for maximum animal circumference, which is variable enough that in my experience attempts at playing the game inevitably end with characters wearing each other as hats. Zulily Zoetrope posted:I remember someone taking a look at FATAL and concluding that there was no point to investigating in any combat stats, because the combat system was a loving mess. The better way to kill poo poo was to exploit the orifice rupture rules by rolling a character with a penis and sticking said penis in the ear of anything that dared cross you. The manual has sell price tables that include values for buckets of piss, but then the rules for pissing are just "roll for stream strength" with no, like, hydration or time requirement. It's just an astonishingly bad system. Infinite money for the price of a bucket. Oh and it has theme music
