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!

If the squirrel takes cookies from a plate I just so happened to bring along, I'd say the squirrel fed themselves. I am obeying the rules!

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.

If the Tony the Tiger fiasco says anything about how this goes, just tell the brand you're horny for their mascot. They'll block you of their own accord.

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

I'm amazed most sites would even let you tbh, so many seem to have arbitrary cutoffs well before 128 from my experience (kinda silly given you're sending a hash, not the data itself). I also have to log into computer systems at work from time to time, which obviously I'm not using my keepass file for. Beyond that though yeah, it's largely just the keepass master password for me too, and my login for my computer itself.

Thank you!

Honestly if you have a tablet for long enough, the marks on the surface become pretty evident. Before my cheap huion tablet of several years finally gave out, parts of it felt like drawing on top of a vinyl record because the marks were so numerous and dug through the surface. In a way it was pretty cool to think about the amalgamation of all the strokes I ever used to create so many different things, all overlayed on top of one another onto a single "page."

Pour one out for the fish (into the bowl).

 

The story behind this little guy is that a few friends and I went to a Toys-R-Us over 5 years ago, which was about to close down because of the bankruptcy. I found him on a fairly empty shelf staring me down with this amazing face, and knew immediately I wanted to bring them back home! Now I see Litten alongside their many other plushie pals every day, I'm glad I found them.

 

Mmm...big borgar 🍔

 

I actually saw this adorable bean late last year and I absolutely had to get him! Maybe you are familiar with the Fundy, who is a Minecraft fox on the internet that codes up a bunch of silly things. I've watched a few of their vids, but really I just love this plush design, and I would've bought it anywhere I saw it.

I've had them for a few months now and I just absolutely adore their smile, and also just how much stuffing is in this plush omg. Soft but firm, I imagine I could squish him for ages and he'd spring right back instantly. Regardless, nothing but small hugs and boops from me (I'm too scared to accidentally hurt my babies lol).

 

Because they're a bunch of cover artists!

Today I went to a few different retro game stores with a couple friends, and while it was fun to check out many of the things available there, in two different stores I found one plushie I wanted to take home. Sprigatito from one, with their amazingly big head and cute smile, and a black Yoshi from another store. As much as I love Yoshi, this is my first plush of him which is exciting! As for Sprigatito, I'm just very partial to those cute cat Pokemon designs I guess, they are so cute! I felt the same way about Litten, who I also have a plush of and should share in the future too!

Anyway, here's another picture of them in the bag from the store(s):

A two year old doodle I forgot I had made. I like it still, so I figured I'd share it with you!

 

I found this adorable bean in a flea market earlier this year. They are sleeping in an oversized stocking, and I just had to take them home! God I wish I could sleep like this Pikachu does, I'm so envious lol.

I don't know much about where they came from, though the tag looks to be in all Japanese. They likely had a long journey to get into my hands, I'm glad to have found them!

 

This may be a modded game, but I very manually crafted this map out with hundreds of stacks of stained glass, diorite, and golden pressure plates. Free-handed in survival last year on a server, here are some incremental pics: [#1] [#2] [#3]

Do you remember when and what helped you discover your affinity for furries? If you do, I'd like to hear your stories!

To get the ball rolling I'll start with mine. While I certainly can't pinpoint the exact date I became fixated on anthros, I can absolutely remember getting Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast when I was 7 or 8 (2000ish).

Seeing Tails was all I needed to get hooked, and want to be a cool fox like him. I didn't even have a word for it until I started using the internet years later, but my furry fate was sealed from then onward. It was the catalyst that got me into fantasizing about having fur and a big tail, and got me doodling lots of Sonic art as a kid. While I've long since stopped making Sonic art, Tails still holds a special place in my heart over 20 years later.

 

This is Bumble, a handmade crochet bee! This little one was given to me by a friend a couple years ago who was getting into crochet as a hobby! They actually made a ton of these for many people in their life, and I was elated when they showed me some and asked if I'd like one too. I even got to pick the colors and a fragrance for the inside (lavender). When it was done a while later, I nearly cried from how kind the gesture was.

Anyway I figured I'd take a picture outside today to show them to you! Enjoy your day!

 

This is a picture from the day I found this adorable guy all by himself in a store, and I just had to take him home. So here I have Kicks all buckled up and ready for the ride home! In the time since then he's met a few more friends, who I intend to also share over time if some people find plushie posting fun!

Seeing people's plushies is something I'm missing a lot from Reddit, I hope to reignite that here if at all possible.
