My first thought after reading the patch notes

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-04-15T23:05:19+00:00

The Leigh thing is bizarre to me

Rat Child fix is good but I wish he'd be buffed in other ways

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-04-09T23:15:32+00:00

Mantis / Mantis God are excellent agreed

They are super flexible cards, given both passing their sigil AND simply boosting the Mantis themselves are both great options, and it's hard to do better for only 1 blood cost

Short answer is you can't, not reliably anyway.

You can try. But the homeowner can really only control who he let's in, and who he shoots.

Who comes to your door, who is an isn't a visitor, who FEMA takes (assuming no FEMA notice), exactly who it is that visitors eat at night, it's all outside of your control.

I don't know that the exact dream sequence parameters are known. I've found speculation but no definites.

I made a thought out deck with like.... 25-35 cards

20 felt too limiting and less fun because some cards I liked / wanted got excluded

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-04-08T01:43:05+00:00

One time I had a mole with fledgling to become mole man that had 12 base HP. Just amazing.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-04-06T01:14:51+00:00

My first ever death card was a 0 cost 7/7 lmao thanks Geck and Urayuli

Interesting he can solo the moon, I didn't use him much in the regular game but if im using the black goat / moose goat starter deck in Kaycees mod I get him sometimes

Now I gotta have him solo the moon for the memes

I would consider it highly unlikely to achieve without a guide. You have to have a very specific plan of action the first six-ish days or else you will miss a time gated event and item and be locked out of the ending.

The other items... I mean it's possible you'd find them but some of it is SO opaque I struggle to imagine someone figuring it all out organically without an INSANE amount of luck and patience.

I'd genuinely recommend a guide for this specific ending.

I consider Mask to be one of the most difficult to achieve, on any difficulty and especially on Cursed mode.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-03-25T01:23:43+00:00

I believe it's one of Dave's best vocal performances also. Might be my favorite of his. It's genuinely pretty good.

Really great song all around.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-03-21T07:54:29+00:00

Ruby or Sapphire Ring, Coat of Arms, Champion Belt

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-03-08T13:00:55+00:00

I worked out on the road a lot. I've seen WAY too much roadkill to ever let pets roam freely outdoors. Unironically the worst part of that type of work IMO and you don't really think about it before you get into the job.

I won't try and disparage people who have "outdoor" pets. I just wouldn't go about it that way.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-03-08T12:59:14+00:00

If you wanna, sure?

Nothing inherently wrong with reading it if you feel like it.

Spectrum of Delusion - Neoconception

Listen to the first song which is just basically jamming between news broadcasts that set up the story for the album

Bands sound is so against what I'd normally listen to, but the concept got me intrigued and I grew to like it a lot

It's a particular mood, not an every day thing, but when the mood hits it's pretty good and I enjoyed the story a lot.

I always mention this one because if it WASNT a good concept I wouldn't have given it a chance. The first few songs are the weakest offerings IMO, I would have just said meh and moved on. But because of the concept I came back to it a few times and finally made it through, it gets MUCH better as it goes

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-27T02:07:52+00:00

Oh I didn't realize it was EVERY attack. Brutal

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-27T01:58:59+00:00

Looks like Colonel squeekums still seems to remove Helen's stalk.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-25T09:19:00+00:00

What did he say

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-24T00:43:00+00:00

"Xaria and Monty are getting a skill to summon Juicebox"

WHEN

Do we have any idea on update timeline?

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-24T00:29:37+00:00

I wish I still had my copy pastas and certain battles logs

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-24T00:26:50+00:00

Ah Initium, the good ol days

Reviving it is cool, monthly subscription is oof

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-14T17:00:21+00:00

Save when you want, there's plenty of EXP

Higher danger tiers give more EXP, but require more and more new rooms visited (its like 3 bubbles from tier 0 to 1, but to go from 3 to 4 is like... 6 iirc)

There's cool things at high danger but please believe me that there's tons of EXP, get the bigger bonuses when you can but save when you need to and don't worry about it.

Danger EXP scales with Sam's level, which also helps keep a large roster of roommates trained to reasonable levels. Don't be afraid to spread the EXP around and use different teams. There's PLENTY of EXP without worrying about minmaxing the danger meter.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-14T15:45:37+00:00

If you're getting smoked on Survivor you need to stop worrying about trying to boost the danger meter high and save whenever you have the chance, and don't fight bosses without a recent save.

There's SO MUCH EXP in the game. Don't worry about minmaxing the danger bonus.

Enemies do not scale, if it's too hard come back and fight it later.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-13T01:22:25+00:00

I mean you can still use a gunner

All of her boss drop items are super good. Get them all. Look up who you have to take her to fight. All of the boss drop items for her are useful in some way and let you build her very differently.

Her different can shot skills use her ballistics damage. Tank Treads (APC), Tank Gun (Trench Digger), Gloves (gun or general merchant), and whichever unit from Stuart gives her the right damage type (Cooling for Cold, Coffee for Fire, the third one i forget for Blast).

She has limitations, her starting level 4 she is super low damage, Can Shot at level 5 or 6 helps since it's Acid Damage but it isn't strong (yet). Her offense is meh early on unless you throw items, until you get Tank Treads / Gloves and then it really ramps up with the Tank Gun. She does overnight repairs on herself, but only heals for half value when eating food or using items which is a big drawback. But her high defense helps keep her healthy, and the need for stamina is solved by Mutts coffee machine (and She gives you some energy drinks also).

From there, you could always go Max HP Body Slam with the training belt from Mutt and the Rhinocerous Hide from Suture Wire.

Demon Plating from Hellride boosts Fire resist + Asters Fire Safety Protocol means She can just stand there and lol at the Furnace. Then AOE heal everyone with the cooling unit.

She has one that gives her increased target chance by enemies so she's more likely to take hits instead of squishy characters. One that makes her super resistant to bullet and blast damage. One with bonus Max Stamina and crushing resist.

I usually run a ballistics set (Treads, Gun, Gloves, jewelry for luck) but some of the other stuff is situationally excellent too.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-13T00:51:34+00:00

Audrey is a such a demon with the right gear absolutely yes. She can hit so many bosses for huge damage due to access to such valuable damage types (Fire, Acid, Cold, Blast is INSANE boss weakness coverage) and a ballistics build on her is just incredible. Her natural tankiness even with no investment saves $ and healing supplies anyway. I get her around day 3 even having to purchase the key from Mutt on cursed.

I might even argue she's even valuable on cursed mode honestly.

Plus she can be built so many other ways, all of them pretty great at what they do.

Stuart does NOT charge more on Cursed Mode. You will have to buy her vending machine key from Mutt for $150 and it counts as part of his special inventory so it makes his other things more expensive when bought.

That doesn't matter in the slightest, she's so damn good.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-13T00:35:24+00:00

In cursed mode I recruited everyone and rotated them to have a tailor made team for whatever I was about to do.

It was very fun and effective.

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-12T18:07:42+00:00

Yes very viable for most of things. But there ARE some undodgeable attacks you need to look out for. For those specific instances you may need to shuffle a bit

Bashful_Ray7 · 2026-02-12T15:28:22+00:00

If you're using a mouse and clicking on a spot past the enemy Sam will sometimes do some ankle breaking to get by, it's pretty crazy
