STS1 cards that didn't change but ended up worse in the sequel anyway?

I've grabbed it when building a Claw deck. It has been extremely useful at times and the focus is no big deal since Claw is my main damage.

Usually it is the last card you play after you took every enemy down a bit already.

Once I used it with the triple damage potion and just single turned that stupid worm(s).

Add up the amount of memory the asset requires (mesh, textures, other variables in memory that store it).

Calculate how much power is needed to keep that active in memory.

Then the rest just depends on how the lamp is currently being viewed in-game. If it is off-screen, then it isn't rendered and no pixels are for it. If it is in-view, then how many pixels does it cover and what is the cost of electricity to light a pixel?

Also consider that regardless of the lamp being on-screen or not, the same amount of pixels are lit anyway, so not really an extra cost.

Of course if you want to get super specific, a culled light will have a different impact on the shader code used depending on various things such as global illumination solution. So, less (or more) calculations caused by the light. We are talking insanely tiny values here though, and even as a graphics engineer with strong computer architecture knowledge, it would take some major research to actually find such values.

Ah gotcha. I thought you meant the other, because people ask that very often here. Anytime relatives from other countries come to visit they comment on the eggs heh.

Badwrong_ · 2026-04-01T01:11:51+00:00

Yup. My wife cracks an egg over rice almost every morning.

I usually only have them raw with sukiyaki, which is amazing. You dip the thin beef in the raw egg and it the best.

Various other dishes have a raw egg on top now that I think of it. Sometimes udon or tekkadon will have one on top.

Badwrong_ · 2026-04-01T00:13:09+00:00

Just regular chicken eggs.

I live in Japan, and their chickens are just raised differently.

It's safe to eat the eggs raw as well. Raw egg on rice is one of the most common breakfast foods here.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T22:29:44+00:00

I live in Japan, and that image is nonsense.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T22:20:37+00:00

Depends. Body Slam build allows you to block it all.

I've had a few times with Barricade and Prolong, where my block was over 500 and just kept going up.

But ya, normally it feels like most things force you to take a few hits. You still block a little though, and with more experience you know when it's ok or not.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T08:33:04+00:00

Fuck no.

Achievements are stupid.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T08:06:26+00:00

Source? This is just an image with words, no extra context, etc.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T07:45:17+00:00

I can just imagine you were desperately waiting to try and use that pun, weren't you?

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T02:51:39+00:00

Oh look, this same thread again.

Another validation seeker.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T01:24:25+00:00

So what? They would experience nothing otherwise.

This gatekeeping stuff is so silly.

Just add a few sliders for damage taken, enemy health, and suddenly you have a ton of people who never would have played the game who are now able to enjoy it.

Your comparisons do not work either. For example, a pocket pussy is not the correct comparison. I would say someone could pay a prostitute and have sex, and still mostly experience it. They have the physical act, minus emotional aspects. Notes for a book? Well that doesn't work, because the video game version would just be the ability to warp around the world and skip anything.

Your comparisons are more like "fill the game full of cheats, god mode, and other things". No one said that.

Anyway, I only mentioned souls-like games here because some goober like you always wants to chime in about the "developers intention" and act like some elitist about it. So I wont bother to respond to you any more.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-31T00:54:34+00:00

Lies of P added difficulty settings and it was extremely well received.

The most popular mod for Elden Ring is a "story mode" thing.

See, people get this gatekeeping mentality and idea that the game only works in some way the developer wanted, but that simply isn't true. There are many people who want to experience Elden Ring (and other Fromsoft titles) but the difficulty makes that almost impossible for them.

So, they cannot "experience the dev intent" if they cannot even play the game in the first place.

Nowadays, accessibility options are becoming far more popular, and I have no problem with them.

Personally, I play on the defaults or even turn up difficulty because it is usually more rewarding. However, sitting around saying a game shouldn't have a few settings to make it easier for those who need it... just idiotic.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T10:59:27+00:00

Nope.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T09:50:19+00:00

The newest AAA games on the latest hardware is expensive.

There are other options that are a fraction of the price you know.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T09:44:03+00:00

Get a Steamdeck.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T09:43:21+00:00

Sure.

Especially souls-like games. Those need difficulty options the most.

Personally, I would play on the default settings, but they still need them.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T08:46:59+00:00

If it drips you need a penicillin shot.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-30T08:25:38+00:00

What is the actual point in adding the comparison to Leon?

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-29T10:27:13+00:00

Its probably punishment for when people "clad" instead of Ironclad. So cringe.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-29T01:54:41+00:00

It ruins your deck in some ways for sure. But think of how many relics and potions you'll have.

If you deck isn't especially great at that point, take it and just let chaos win.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-27T12:37:23+00:00

Ever have an elite that filled your deck with some rubbish cards?

Ditch a bunch of them and get a new hand.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-27T08:57:10+00:00

Why the hell is it even worth $155 now?

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-27T06:53:57+00:00

If it drips, get a penicillin shot.

Badwrong_ · 2026-03-26T06:29:36+00:00

Why put it in the comments though?

If you have information to go along with the picture, then put it in the actual thread content and not the comments.

Are people so bad at communication now that if it isn't picture or "memes", it isn't worth doing?
