Kylie - Slow

I really don't know what to say.

I gave up on PvP matches ages ago and have been playing NPCs ever since. Admittedly, this gets a bit boring.

Tonight, I thought I'd try other players again... OMG... so sloooooooooooooooow.

I'm aging here!! Come on, I could die of old age before you lay those cards down.

Back to NPC matches for me.

looool i feel you. this is why I have my switch or a book with me while I play cards. Some players are just sitting there choosing their fate.

Yes, sometimes I really wonder what strategic chess mastery these people are contemplating when they are staring at 4 coins and a poopy tavern. Like, just pick a card or hit the treasury and hit the hourglass. You don't need to contemplate the fate of the universe every other hand, bro.

What really irks me is when all the coin is spent and there's no other moves. The hand isn't timing out as if they went afk, they're just... I don't even know what. Answering a text? Hoping I DC for an auto-win? Just hit the damn hourglass and then wipe your butt, people!

I think we all have to remember that not everybody has the same challenges when it comes to playing the game. I have members of my ToT guild that have talked to me on the side about the challenges they face in playing the game regarding some limitation whether it be a physical one or otherwise. What may seem like a clear decision for one person is not always the case for another and we have to remember that.

We also have to remember that people may have IRL things going on at the same time. They may have children that need attending, they may have a package coming to the door, they may have to take their dinner out of the oven. We just don't know what is going on in their space of the world.

You know what? You are absolutely right. I stand corrected.

There's also a thing I pointed out a long while back, people who play on PC but use controllers are forced to play much slower than kb+m users. The cursor moves like it's treading through mud, and all the icons on the table have an obnoxious magnetic effect on them that cases the cursor to move even slower when hovering above them (player and opponent cards, graphics showing points/prestige/power, clock, all elements have this ridiculous suction/magnetic effect on them).

If you play against someone who seems to be playing a bit slower it can simply also be they're playing with a controller. It's pretty bad to be honest. I've pointed out the gamepad interface (or rather, the way that the cursor moves in the gamepad interface) for ToT should be redesigned for these reasons.
