That would eliminate being able to block with vehicles though. I think limiting it to the combat step would at least reduce the amount it occurs

I always enjoy their behind the scenes articles. Magic is such a huge, complicated game that changes all the time so it's interesting seeing how they have to build the software around that

So first off, related to above, I think the monster designs are far above the usual "Pokemon clone" in quality. A lot of these games can descend into "cute/cool animal + X element" but I think the devs wisely avoided falling into that trap and there are just a ton of really cool monsters in the game that aren't derivative of other games.

The second is the combat system. An AP system lets you decide if you want to pump out max damage each turn or use weaker attacks and shoot off bigger ones later. Where I think it really shines is in Passive moves though, as you can set up moves that will automatically trigger whenever you do something. I managed to get one set of moves that always crits on type advantage and another that will auto-attack on a critical hit that together make an infinite damage combo if I have type advantage. Pair that with a monster that can change the foe's type and I can obliterate almost anything in the game.

Lastly the I think this game does a really good job with boss encounters. You can fight rule-breaking eldritch monstrosities, fused monsters, and actually competent rival humans with unique teams and strategies and all of them have different ways you need to battle them.

Oh yeah, and the music rocks. Plus when you're battling, if you fuse with your partner the song gains vocals. It's a bunch of cool little touches that make the game special like that.

I mean just look at this little guy

He wasn't kicked out for being racist, he was kicked out for blowing their cover

Granted, anyone with a brain could figure it out, but he said the quiet part too loud

It was also intended to counteract a rise in the price of bread, caused by the Office of Price Administration's authorization of a ten percent increase in flour prices.

This is how I find out that the US had an office for food price and rent controls (which was of course sabotaged by private companies and Republicans)

I loved the lore of the house of Duskmourn but what I didn't love is that now they just use it as an excuse to drop random contemporary objects/fashion into the world

There's a couple, but they have different restrictions on what they can and can't copy

I feel like I didn't appreciate this movie enough when I first watched it but it only gets better as I get older

1. The official Pixelfed app just has a nicer looking UI
2. There's not really a competing app for people leaving Insta like there is Bluesky vs Mastodon
3. Pixelfed's content is mostly visual so it's easily digestible to casual users and you don't have to scroll past dry Fedi arguments
4. Better discover features so users don't have to do a bunch of legwork to find who to follow

Just my guesses though, but like any social media it really depends on if big creators will switch and if users stick with it over time

Vanilla legendaries hype! These guys look fun

Maro's teaser said there would be a cycle and Fang-Druid Summoner shows 5 symbols in its art so I assume we'll see a W and U legendary soon

I love that someone at WotC either knew that offhand or took the time to look it up
