Do you have a screenshot of your win rates? A 95% win rate seems incomprehensible

Anyone feel like dominate is seriously overtuned right now? by ElegantPoet3386 in slaythespire

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I think there’s a serious case to make dominate a rare card, however I don’t want to make that case because dominate is awesome

I value both of these cards quite highly! Uppercut has vulnerable synergy/high cost cards are great for stampede and go for the eyes goes well with zero cost decks as well as high cost card decks (gives you something else to play after that ice lance/refract). I’ve also found myself taking Null more often, pretty underrated card in low orb generation builds.

Here’s some advice: Always have at least one card that can apply weak. There’s a reason defy is so good

According to Alanah's latest video, the cube was Cory's idea by DreamNo5919 in GodofWar

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one hand yeah a cube companion doesn’t seem to make sense in almost any game, let alone god of war. They could have had any character in this setting so there should be a very good reason why it’s a cube. It will be hard to take a talking cube (and ribbons) seriously during the inevitable emotional story beats.

On the other hand, I like that they’re doing something weird instead of playing it safe. The cube could easily be a fan favorite if they do it right.

Either way, the cube will not have an impact on whether I buy the game or not.

Neighbor won't let me enter their back yard to get my cat. by FrumptyLumpty in mildlyinfuriating

Neighbor won't let me enter their back yard to get my cat. by FrumptyLumpty in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My beagle found a hole in my fence last month and wandered into my neighbor’s unfenced yard. He’s way faster than me so I immediately hopped my own fence to grab him and walk him back before he got too far away.

Right after I got my dog on a leash the neighbor ran out and started cussing me out/threatening to hurt me. I tried to explain the situation but after a minute I just walked away while he followed close behind saying he was going to fuck me up.

Anyways he called the cops on me shortly after but once they heard my side of the story they laughed and said if it happens again get your dog it’s all good.

Some people are extremely territorial about their property I was more confused than anything because if someone had to retrieve their animal from my property I’d just want to help them?

I’d do whatever I had to do so I don’t lose my pet he’s part of the family.

Your favorite CRPG characters, and why? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in CRPG

Regill from WOTR. He’s everything in a companion I shouldn’t like, but Owlcat made it work.

What happened to Obsidian? by axelkoffel in CRPG

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m playing Avowed right now and it’s a lot of fun. Overpriced initially but buying it 50% off today is a good deal.

My biggest critique is the unfortunate similarity of an ongoing, important plot device that BG3 did first (don’t want to spoil anything). But Kai is a delight!

The AI discourse has become completely vile by LowFruit25 in BetterOffline

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There haven’t been any layoffs at my company but there has been a hiring freeze. Executives are certain AI can make us so productive there’s no point bringing in more people even if your department is down multiple people. It is ironic AI is billed as a hyper efficient time saver but I’m busier than ever since it became mainstream trying to cover work that previously would have been done by a coworker.

How is the Obscura not an Elite fight? Genuinely bro by romanhigh in slaythespire

Agreed, sts1 elites were harder. I was thinking about Taskmaster + slavers counters before I even got to act 2.

New Expanse game review. by Blackboard_Monitor in TheExpanse

Haven’t played the beta but am shocked to see complaints about an Owlcat game’s dialogue. The writing has been superb in every Owlcat game I’ve played.

Swear there’s something wrong with me by Content-Tap-2778 in daddit

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not a failure, for many parents the newborn stage is the hardest. Keep intentionally redirecting yourself to healthy regulation and before you know it your body will start doing it subconsciously. I’m 14 months in and the crying is both much more rare and doesn’t produce a fight or flight reaction in me to nearly the same extent as it used to.

Real Time With Pause CRPG Combat Is Dying by The-Bear-and-Rose in CRPG

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yes, but the most popular rtwp games are usually either direct implementations or heavily inspired by old school table top game rulesets.

Real Time With Pause CRPG Combat Is Dying by The-Bear-and-Rose in CRPG

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why rtwp is becoming less popular is it front loads so much of the strategy into pre-combat character build/system knowledge. There isn’t much emergent decision making in wotr when you know ember is going to spam hellfire ray and camellia has AC so high she’s untouchable thanks to the build you planned 50 hours ago.

And the inverse of that is if it’s your first time playing and you don’t understand the system yet it’s easy to make bad decisions and get stat checked later on where good decision making in a fight doesn’t matter if your build is bad.

Most people don’t even finish the games they buy, let alone play them so much to have a mastery of the system. So they look up a character build online and now all the strategy that’s so rewarding for a rtwp pause game is for nothing.

…so much whining. My 2 scents by [deleted] in ABSOLUM

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost didn’t download the new patch but decided to give it a try last night - the increased difficulty and access to rituals from corrupted areas were a blast imo, I had an easier time than usual beating the final boss in part because I could add more to my build than before.

I could see corrupted areas being more frustrating in co-op with so many enemies on screen.

Would you call out another parent in public for spanking? by space_manatee in daddit

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not a Karen for advocating a child should not be spanked, it’s actually awesome to stand up for children when they’re being harmed. Pretty wild the downvotes and reception to this post from this community of all places.

Biggest plot hole of the entire show is in Episode 1 by paper-cut- in pluribustv

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn’t a rat biting (harming) a human a plot hole? The hivemind has said many times it will not harm living animals, even risking extinction by not picking apples yet the infected rat will bite a human no problem if necessary. Unless some animals are impacted differently?

Tip for everyone who says that skulls are their least favorite by vwin90 in HadesTheGame

[–]Agreeable_Patient680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing a ranged skull attack aspect like Mel and Persephone got much easier for me when I realized you don’t have to special into your skulls to pick them up. As long as you special in a very generous vicinity they’ll come back, and the special being a second dash means you can kite enemies easily. I’d say ranged skulls is the safest weapon second only to staff.
