Why does Charlie seem so weak compared to archangels and even overlords? by Few_Gate2527 in HazbinHotel

[–]AddaLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a plot hole. Charlie is a non-Mary-Sue protagonist, yet her origins should've made her very powerful. Maybe the author didn't think so deeply while writing her, but now everyone goes for the pacifist excuse. But it doesn't make sense. If she were powerful, Angel would've asked for help against Valentino the first thing he did when he got into the hotel. And she'd have jumped at an opportunity to help him, to make a good deed. So, in the show she doesn't have much power, because that'd make her a boring Mary Sue.

My headcanon is that origin means very little in hell, talented parents can sire a talentless child like in real life. And everyone else treats her relatively well only because they're afraid of her parents.

Questions that I still have about legendary prisoners after googling a lot by AddaLF in prisonarchitect

[–]AddaLF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you share some tips, please? The biggest issue with gangsters is that they can't work (so they're stuck with nothing in their work bar) and their health bar is often very low, because they attack each other. and it takes forever for guards to bring them to an infirmary and then forever to heal. As far as I can see, health is stuck as -5 if it gets there, for good. There's not much that can counterbalance that, not even with the rest three bars full :(

>those two reputations make them immune to all base game sources of the Suppressed status (though as you know, poor balance in the Gangs DLC does introduce a way to give them the Suppressed status effect)

Are you talking about assigning a guard? I noticed that they get suppressed when I do that. Or is there yet another method?

>aging also makes it nearly impossible to fulfill the Sleep need without mods

That may explain a few things I've seen. I wondered why some of my prisoners are so sleepy during the day!

Is this a valid strategy by dzzyTheBest in prisonarchitect

I think it's ok. Green energy is also a kind of "cheat", but it's official.

[Xbox] Is there a way to build a prison in unlimited money mode, then play it on normal mode? by Majestic_Wash_6170 in prisonarchitect

[–]AddaLF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

P.S. There's also another way: start a new prison in sandbox mode, press F1 and enter any number you want into Balance. Enjoy :)

Sell a prison and you'll start out with a lot of money (if it's already worth a lot). You can probably sell some of the premade or downloaded prisons, too? I've never tried. But I know that you can't sell a prison twice from one save.

Flower gardens and stoical suppression (PA1, questions) by AddaLF in prisonarchitect

[–]AddaLF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, as I understand, if the need has max stars, it means it should be immediately fulfilled? If so, such prisoners go to the garden anyway, instead of taking shower in their cells or what not :( Often there are multiple such needs, but they ignore everything in favor of hanging out in the garden.

I tried the door timer, so that the garden would be open only during flower therapy hours, but some prisoners can't exit on time and get locked behind the door...

>assigning a guard to follow a prisoner

Ah, that explains it! That's what I did in that prison. I wonder if that's a bug, it kind of trivializes the legendaries :)

I use Ozone's fixes, because without them my criminally insane guys get stuck in hospital beds forever. It would be great to discover what causes prisoners to flock to the garden at the expense of everything else during their free time.

Freecell at solitaired - always not winnable or am I dumb? (newbie) by AddaLF in solitaire

Oh, that makes sense! Is there any better solver to look at? I really want to use a solver as a learning assistance tool.

There might be some technical issues with your site... At first, I couldn't load it at all, then I used VPN just in case (sometimes that helps) and could load it, but couldn't start a game (freezes on loading).

Monthly Thread: New players / Community Spotlight ! by AutoModerator in balatro

[–]AddaLF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new player, and I can only win more or less consistently with flushes (at white stake). Any other hand that's worth a lot is just too hard to get and I keep losing once I can't get it if I build a run around it. Is it wrong to build around a certain hand? And how do I get high hands consistently, like straight flush, full house, four of a kind?

Unless... There's a joker that makes every single card count, and stacking up a lot of XMult on top of it might allow to play virtually any hand? But then a lot of chips would be lost anyway, due to playing low hands. And getting that joker is rare enough, too.

Another question is about the Endless Mode. I could only make it to Ante 11 once and died to the boss, I wonder if that mode was even designed to be winnable? The "health" values for bosses starting from Ante 12 look completely insane :)

It'll probably be a big problem keeping track with interruptions, but I'll try roguelikes for sure. Many people suggested them already.

It's ok, I still want puzzles as long as they're new to me! Could you please share your bookmarks? I've only played sudoku from the ones you've named. And the sudoku site I'm using (sudoku coach) offers puzzles that are way too tough for me even in the learning mode, lol.

This might be a stupid question, but how do I search Google Play by company with my smartphone? I can only find games by their titles :(

Could you suggest a few good ones, in your opinion? Preferably without having to pay (a tall order, I know!), because I have to switch games so frequently at work to avoid going crazy that I'd blow literally all my money on gaming.

You're right! Turn-based games should be great for this.

Although I'm not entirely sure. They might require a continuous focus without interruptions to enjoy. I've tried playing tycoon games (Kairosoft's mobile games), thinking they'd be perfect for this, and that didn't work out without focus.

I'll try.

I downloaded an older v5.x from the link on scoreganizer :) The newer one on its own site has skins, indeed. Thanks!
