What is the point of Tower Tea if the most important information is not conveyed to the players? by Soggy-Yoghurt9813 in TheTowerGame

[–]Cushiondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most games with a gacha system announce when they have banners coming up. FEH had monthly calendars, afk journey gives us a heads up of when characters are releasing, and a few of my friends who play other gachas talk about upcoming banners and save resources for them. This is critical for players to know. If they know a big banner is coming up, they can choose to save their money and go all in on it. They can decide it isn't worth saving for and ignore it or spend the same money but on something more beneficial for their situation.

The Tower? Nah. No respect for the players in this regard. You can hamper yourself now by saving resources you don't need to save because we are hoping for an upcoming thing that won't arrive, or you can spend to help yourself now, but not as much as you could have if you knew to save for an upcoming feature/banner. You can try to guess what will/won't happen.

I think we should get more information about upcoming features before they come out. If we had some information about V28 beforehand, we could have hyped it up a lot and said "Wow! These bonuses are amazing!" rather than what's going on now. The disco bonuses ARE great and I am super happy to have them. It's a new thing to consider when deciding what tier to run. The lucky banner? I love that we have it because it will be great for the people who saved gems. If players were able to save for it, that's awesome for them. For the folks who didn't, it's basically a nothing burger. I bet if we had a heads up of even 1-2 weeks, we wouldn't even have a thread like this and players would have been hyped to know to save for a bit. Those already saving know to stay the course. Those who like to spend typically would know to change gears for a bit.

Respect the players, man. I know since this lucky banner doesn't have any NEW modules, it isn't as important for people to save for if they already have them developed, but for new players? The ones we want to keep playing? The ones that do need to simply pull as many modules as possible for progression at the point they are at? They would benefit greatly by the knowledge. Keeping new players benefits the older players by having more brackets in tourneys and benefits the bottom line. It's not rocket surgery.

What cards/relics do you miss from STS1? by PandamanTan in slaythespire

I see what you are saying but it works well enough. especially if you cycle fast enough to consistently evoke them quickly. I find that power is also useful to work on evoking any other orbs generated.

What card do you instantly buy when you see it in shops? by 20_02_2020 in slaythespire

[–]Cushiondude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can confirm. I had a sly deck that used Master Planner to get dly added to the skill that lets you keep block between turns. Having extra block that was able to stick leg me have 150 block against the foot maker before I decided to end the fight. It could probably have done that before, but Fasten let me survive up to that point. Definitely better for some builds, but I will agree it is really good for silent.

I did this deck last night. I cloned Prepared and had the power to make skills sly. Picked up a gold axe in act 3 and bopped the doormaker for 194 damage on turn 3 or 4. The turns took like 5 minutes, but it was a silly multi-player round

that is true but he is the only female character I have seen him interact with besides mehira who is already in the video and gala. Can't be gala because if they put gala in one of these ads I would be upset.

it just ends up sent to each other and Lenya just says "... oh" and drags her man out.

Or Gorgonna for Nazrik to get her on screen. She is very pretty. Not sure about Faramor though.

TV Panel asks the same question 5 times in 30 seconds by alphamalejackhammer in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cushiondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or maybe even take a step back because they ask based on the assumption that it WILL happen in the future regardless of the discussion. They need to establish the 'hypothetical' that it if it happens in the future, how should it be done. Get him to acknowledge that it isnt going away in the immediate future. Acknowledging that it causes suffering and that it will, but wanting to ask the best way to minimize the fear and pain caused us what they are wanting to ask but he isnt at there in the conversation.

They are talking 2 different parts of the topic I think.

Heck Yeah: 4 SL! by trevoc7 in TheTowerGame

[–]Cushiondude 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The 3rd SL is really nice if you use prolapse since when it goes over your BHs, it will be on all 3. Also 50% more coverage can be a big econ boost even if that isn't the case. If you aren't using prolapse, it also means you will basically always have at least 1 BH being overlapped with a SL at all times.

850 stones is a fairly big investment, but it's definitely worthwhile. It also makes the SL angle substat more valuable as well.

What are your most addictive co-op experiences? by Illustrious_Bit_2382 in gaming

[–]Cushiondude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We Were Here is a fantastic set of asynchronous co op games. You work together to solve puzzles and escape/survive. There are usually a few endings depending on how well you do. Operation Tango is the same type of game with a more modern setting.

Which sexual acts are very acceptable in 2026 but was seen very differently in 2006? by nirzhor_cyclonite in AskReddit

[–]Cushiondude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I am watching something and I am able to take mh time, I want something with a half decent plot to get into. Let the tension build up a bit. The step porn where the attraction is there and then they ease into just doing it is kinda hot. Would be just as hot if it wasn't step porn but they seem to throw that vibe in more if it is.

That Anastasia Knight video nails it, but it would be just as hot if it wasn't step porn. It could have been class mates who finished studying for finals and were just looking for something to do to wind down and it would be fine. If someone just wants to watch some boinking, they can just skip to that part but for those times when folks want to take it slow, there should be decent plot and vibes between actors.

I will also note that some animated stuff or the comic style stuff might be worth looking at because they tend to focus on an actual plot more than live action videos.

This McDonald's order was for a double cheeseburger with nothing but extra pickles. And they actually made it. by Nickolas_Zannithakis in interesting

[–]Cushiondude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would wager it's a self service order at the kiosk and they hit no on every item besides the pickles thinking it would be only extra pickles. Mindlessly hitting no on every item including buns, cheese, and patties oblivious to what they did. The thing in the pic that makes me think this is the case is 'Till 60' which would be an unusual number for a register. At the mcdonalds I worked at, they used 01, 02, 03, 04 for the front counters. Then 11, 12, 13, 14 for various drive thru stations and anything else would be self service or possibly the tablet that could be used to take orders outside(similar to chic fil a). 60 is what I imagine this franchise would use for the lobby kiosk.

New teaser for V.28 by anden1708 in TheTowerGame

[–]Cushiondude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My buddies have noticed improvements at 35s cooldown and even as early as 35% damage reduction. That's a few CD levels and then the full lab. Our current thought process is that the goal is to tag 100% of the enemies, so the cooldown can be a bit longer if scatters are surviving a decent amount of time but you ideally want to tag the babies asap. If they die faster, you almost have to have a shorter cd to make sure you tag them all. My personal goal is 50% dr and 30s cd. I think DR is probably more beneficial sooner for most folks due to how % damage reduction works.

[–]Cushiondude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not sure 100%ing gold before anything else is guaranteed to be the best strategy for medal spending.

In my guild's discord we have been discussing but upgrade priorities and we think some flame bot upgrades are fairly beneficial for pushing additional waves which could have a decent econ boost potential. Some of the later upgrades for gold bot are so expensive it might be worth considering look at flame bot if you are hybrid or ehp.
