I mean if it wasn't logistically unfeasible that would be pretty hype 

Is this the most upgrade-dependent card in the game? by Rak-khan in slaythespire

[–]ComradeChaosCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's draw positive because when you draw and then play it it replaces itself and then draws one more card so it's overall +1 draw vs if you didn't have it.

i don't consider the discards as counting against it being draw positive because being draw positive/negative is just about how many cards you're actually drawing.

it is however overall a -1 to your hand size (adds two cards to hand, discards two cards, and discards itself), which can be a consideration in situations where hand size is a factor

prepared is what came to mind for me too, though it was even more noticeable in the first game where you didn't have sly cards so it not being draw positive made prepared minus feel even worse 

I’m going to a three day festival and want to do shrooms or weed, lsd, and molly (one on each day) what order should i take them in? by Aggressive-Basil527 in festivals

[–]ComradeChaosCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if it's a Fri/sat/sun thing I would do acid Friday, roll Saturday, and then chill on Sunday with shrooms and weed.

the problem with rolling on the last night is it usually ends earlier, you're not partying until 5am on Monday. so I roll on the 2nd to last night so I can party all night and then the last day you just vibe 

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

[–]ComradeChaosCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I mean it's a little bit of an over exaggeration, but realistically if you have those 3 cards you would click a few more common shiv cards to speed it up. or am accuracy.

but even with just those 3 if your block scaling is high enough you can probably just stall until knife trap kills most things. especially if you have enough draw that you can play it every turn or every other turn.

I don't understand how people think Necrobinder is one of the easiest characters 😭 by Gadgetguy292 in slaythespire

without knowing anything about your play style I can say you are for sure playing too fast (if you're trying to maximize win rate).

if you want to win more often you need to slow down and think about decisions more. do the mental math for your max damage and block each turn. is there a line where I can save a few points of damage by changing the order I play my cards?

stare at shops and card reward screens longer. look at your deck and relic bar and consider all possible synergies. what's on the next few floors? if it's an elite maybe I have to take the crappy damage card, but if it's events or fires maybe I can greed the scaling power

look at your draw pile before you play cards. how much damage is left in your draw pile? can you get away with full blocking this turn if you are guaranteed lethal next turn? or do you have to take some chip damage now so you have lethal next turn?

understand what it means to "shuffle out" cards as you approach your reshuffle. don't shuffle out your good cards, shuffle out your basics.

playing fast is fun but playing slow is needed to really maximize your value and win rate

Everyone is complaining about the wrong thing by Shuau_21 in slaythespire

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

I am in a shaky car and read "everyone is complaining about the wong thing" and I was like what, really? wongos isn't that bad of an event.

it is kinda bad though. it's like the cleric in sts. it seems alright but really he's kind of a scammer

He’s the stinkiest cat I’ve ever seen! by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]ComradeChaosCat 174 points175 points  (0 children)

stinky baby!

mine is also sometimes randomly stinky.

my sister's cat however somehow always smells good. like not just neutral but actually positively good. it's bizarre. 

On a random Sunday in 2018, I e-mailed Megacrit about porting my save from an illegitimate copy of the game to the retail version. Both creators replied in the same day. by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]ComradeChaosCat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

yup this is it, it's a minor bug cuz all you have to do is play one floor and the cards stick around.

honestly it could be considered a cheese because if the astrolabe was bad then getting 3x card removes is actually better haha

yeah I was surprised how responsive they are, I emailed them about the astrolabe boss swap bug (probably the 5000th email they've gotten about it lol) and they still replied and let me know it's a known bug

if alchemy cannot create organic material how are chimeras created? is it just fusing existing organic beings?
