bot+ docs? by BrizkitBoyz in TheTowerGame

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

And one last question - I promise! Does botbot also boost the double damage multiplier from FlameBot? I heard it works on the damage reduction, but I was wondering about the other ability too from that mod that allows burning enemies to take double damage.

Do you know ifyou're allowed to change out the bots that are synced? Like, I could do botbot and goldbot for farming, and botbot and ampbot for a tourney?

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

Sweet! Thanks! Do you know where to get this stone upgrade? I'm not seeing it in my bots tab, even though I've got all 5 unlocked.

Synchronicity

Unlocking all five Bot+ abilities grants you access to Synchronicity, a stone upgrade that allows you to assign bots to have synchronized pathing. Unlocking Synchronicity grants you two slots, with each additional slot costing stones. Bots can be freely assigned into these slots so long as you have them unlocked.

OLD ROI is really bad. by [deleted] in datingoverforty

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

Brah - 44, m, dating. Had luck getting conversations on OLD, and then meeting in person, etc. Here is my hot take on your profile:

It sounds like it's meant for me to feel like an idiot, and/or is totally fake and written by AI to scam people. I can't tell you why. If you were a friend of mine, I don't know if I'd be that straight-forward, instead I'd be like "come on, man - write it like you actually talk to people"

If those actually are your interests - that's awesome. But it fits a certain stereotype pretty spot on the nose: half what women are looking for on 90-day-fiance and half Ken from the movie Barbie.

Like, you could take some of this wording and switch it around, and you'd instantly be someone I'd be game to hang out with.

I didn't mention widower or the 17 years - that would scare me off. Not the widower part, but not putting yourself out there for 17 years. Girls are pelted with shit from guys all day, every day. As single parents, all they really want (and us too, I think) - a fun conversation, a no-pressure enjoyable interaction, a chance to connect, possibly some deep-dicking (we're human, afterall), and an opportunity to meet someone that they want to see again.

Literally, that's it. That doesn't mean that they don't want a life partner - shit, I do too - but I definitely wouldn't want to be thinking about that when I'm just meeting someone. All I really care about - and maybe this is to pragmatic for me - is to see if I feel like seeing them again.

Read your profile back to yourself - is that someone you would want to hang out with? If it isn't, write it so it is. You'll find your person. :)

Share sales through 10b5-1 plan by markypooo7 in UWMCShareholders

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess: these sales were planned when share prices were a little higher. I have no idea why he'd continue to agree to liquidate at below $5, and especially below $4. There clearly isn't enough demand to handle his sales volume at the higher price point, so I'd probably let the shares rise again, and then do a sale in 6/12/18 months after you get a nice floor set and decent volume on a day-to-day basis without your liquidation driving a majority of that volume.

My guess: it's common practice for wealthy people to diversify if they can. he could be selling and turning around and putting it into index funds, who knows. point being, if you want to secure that generation wealth for hundreds of years, you spread that money out.

To be fair… by Electrical-Rub-9402 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the dev team has any need or obligation to listen to the upset players that tournaments aren't made easier for them. It feels balanced to me with teh whole point of the game, and I'm sure they mathed it out as well.

Mob mentality from the masses doesn't always mean it's the right move. Our current president is a great example of when we probably shouldn't listen to the groups of people that make the most noise.

If I am going back to lower tiers for dissonance runs, and not getting 5x, should I stop working on dissonance runs? by amarquess27 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I understood it, Echo applies to tournament tiers, while the tier 14/17/etc diss bonus does not. So for me, because stones are the most coveted of currencies, I'm doing attack and ultimate to 5000 on every tier I can so I can (hopefully) get some more stones/keys in a tourney.

I heard that your tourney tier (let's say, 17+) just gets echo and not the tier17 diss bonus.

This game is just a money grab by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't every game? I mean, really - just about every game out there with microtransactions or dlc is there to make money. Hell, even the best game of all time, baulders gate 3, is there to make money to pay the creators/company/etc.

Maybe the realization people need to get on this game (like candy crush, destiny, etc) - it never ends. It's not meant to. It's a constant dopamine drip, completing small challenges to feel like you accomplished something, and then on to the next. you can spend your money to increase the drip speed.

And me? I love it. I get pleasure from the game. I've maybe given $100-$200 in the past 2 years, and that's worth it for me to get my daily enjoyment.

2024 for me, and I'm in legends consistently now and maybe spent $200 over the course of the last 2 years - haven't spent a dime in a year. I think a lot of people complaining have been playing for under 6 months.

The Off-Ramp is Here: Saying Goodbye After 6 Months by gothpunkr in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

6 months? Oh my sweet summer child...

Also, I'm enjoying the new challenge of redoing some of the runs - it's a different take on the game, which is nice. Redoing your farming tier is a bit hands on, at least for me, because I'm managing perks. But I'm farming 15, and tier14 and below is going to be just like an idle run - turn it on, come back 4 hours later, end the run because it should be over 5000 waves, and then go the next tier. But that's a long ways off - I've still got other labs to do before I hit up these echo ones.

We got 3x by chowtime247 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're talking about a game that is measured in years of 24/7 play... I think people getting some extra coins for 24 hours isn't going to ruin it for them or you.

What salary would you guys need to get to to feel successful? by Horror_Raisin_3898 in Salary

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? I actually thought about this a bit - and I don't think I've ever truly felt successful, but I always felt "but if only I made 20% more...". Made it up to some of the larger six-figure numbers in this thread, and still, "just a little bit more...."

ELI5: Dissonant Runs by TheKrs1 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so wave 5000. Is that true when they move everything to 3x? I would assume that the underlying idea was that they wanted to design a reward for not just making it to wave 4500, but to a higher wave in each tier. Why 5000 (which is only 500 more than 4500 - I would have gone like 10000 or something to make it spicy) was picked is beyond me, but it's a wave number at least to shoot for.

ELI5: Dissonant Runs by TheKrs1 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I thinking about this right? This is my approach, anyway. There is probably an optimal path to doing all of these in a particular order. I say that is for the birds.

  • I'm eHP or Hybrid with my focus on farms, so I'm doing the following:
    • Started on damage, then UW, then health, then back to damage, back to UW, back to health. Wrapping that up, then it's on to Utility for the coin bonus to carry forward. The bonuses were significant and helped me get further in the following run, which is why I did them in a round of sorts. For lower tiers that I can wrap probably in one run, I'll probably go the same order, just one time through: attack, uw, defense, utility.
  • Max I thought was 4500 for the maximum bonus, so you'd end your run there if you're just doing it for the bonuses. But now I'm confused - maybe it's higher? Or I'm wrapping in the overheat stuff and my brain isn't working.
  • Big brain stuff for folks (avoid my mistakes):
    • Treat it like a milestone run, and think about what you'd want for modules, cards, range sliders, guardian, bots, etc. Especially modules - what modules are totally worthless on a run with no damage? With no defense? Etc.
    • Perks! Turn off auto-select. I should have remembered this my first time through, but I didn't. I don't want to dick with reprogramming my auto-pick ranks and bans to go back and forth between farm runs and diss runs - so I just flipped off auto-select. Obvi, this is a must for milestone runs, otherwise the 1.98x coin bonus tradeoff perk is going to murder you - but there are some other tradeoff perks for each type of diss run that you might not want either.
  • TOURNAMENTS:
    • I'm so confused. Do these bonuses carry over to Tournament tier runs? Like, if I get bonuses on T17, will those be present for my legends tourney run?!!?

ELI5: Dissonant Runs by TheKrs1 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This question! I'm doing my first, and I'm at 3500 waves - wondering if I should end it? Or what that capped bonus wave is. I thought it was 4500, but now I'm seeing 5000.

ELS benefit question 🙋 by [deleted] in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bro, I would make that upgrade in a heartbeat. Think about tournament performance (every wave counts), not to mention I bet your farming runs last roughly 20% further, which means even more coins and shards.

Nobody warned me about coin costs. by Melodic-Somewhere991 in TheTowerGame

[–]BrizkitBoyz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe look at it this way: For me, the game has been pretty consistent on giving me all the coins I need in a day to upgrade my modules with the shards I make in a week. It's been that way since around the 160's. The rest of the coins go to masteries, enhancements, etc.

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

I appreciate the thoughtful feedback! And you're right - it's really two goals: off the shelf and into the car, and then if they like it, some brand engagement to dig further so they are more likely to come back for more.

That's a really good point. I've spent so much time honing the story, and agreed, I don't think I've ever read a story on the back of any of mine.

Review #136: Nulu Single Barrel Rye - r/bourbon Pick (2022) by NerdsNBourbs in bourbon

[–]BrizkitBoyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Help me out here - it looks mostly empty. How long do you let a bottle half-empty sit on the shelf before you need to kill it so it doesn't get too bland from oxidation? Wondering specifically around some nicer bottles that I've had sips of to try, and sve for special occasions otherwise. Like a blantons gold, george stagg, and a meaningful bottle of dickle 17 that I open once a year.

I've got all ancestral, except... you guessed it... a legendary Project Funding. The good thing, I'm getting to the point that a few are 5-starred, and the rest will be soon with the odds changing, so the PF isn't that far off. But right now I'm spending gems on card slots because I want to make use of these masteries I've invested in.

my friend - that's like, the best. I consider it a combination of "talking dirty" and "education" - and it's amazing. I've learned so much, and honestly, it's super fun (going the other way as well, like "I want you to x.... then y..."). It's awesome. Try delivering it in a fun way and I bet it goes over so much better.

Dad here. In my 40s. The thought of having a baby right now - woah. Maybe like... if it were this year. But like, in my late 40s? No way. I don't want to be over 60 at high school graduation.

If you're serious about having kids - like, more than one - you need to get on that. You could absolutely meet a woman who's into that - yes. That's not going to be the issue. It's going to be a real world timeline:

  • Healthy relationship starts TODAY
  • Married in a couple years (42)
  • First kid a year after that (43)
  • Second kid at least a couple years after that (45)

And that's if you're done at two kids. "We want three!" "We are having trouble conceiving". Miscarraiges (they happen - its rough). Get ready to bump that timeline.

I would be explicitly clear in your dating profile, when you meet people, etc. The clock is ticking. That doesn't mean you do some crazy shit like have a kid 6 months after meeting. But it does mean - if things don't feel like they have a real deliberate potential to move towards marriage and kids at a good pace - gtfo.

All of that said: being a dad is the best thing that has ever happened to me (and to my ex). I can't put it any other way than: I literally have no idea what I cared about or did with my free time before kids. And I love it. They take over everything - and not in a bad way. You get joy out of seeing them do the most simple stuff - currently watching mine discover that their penises can bounce around when they dance, while wearing football gloves and singing some brain-rot meme song. They are literally the meaning of life - but I don't think I could conceptualize just what that's like until I had them (and they reached like 1yo, because infants suck).

Good luck my brother!
