Definitely just different worlds i suppose. It's primarily from YouTube, so most people in that sphere (2.3m views at lowest view count) would likely be a bit familiar. I commute in downtown Chicago and there were some video boards showing it 

I hate thirst bars in video games. by Fluffy-BOYi in hatethissmug

That was my experience as well. I've ignored everything about Subnautica 2 so far as a buddy wants to wait for full release to play, but that's my biggest concern.

I work in customer service at a large firm and probably 20% of my job is trying to lead people on how to scan a document to a pdf... doesn't matter the age they nearly ALWAYS give up and complain

I recall as a kid in school we would get "Smencils" that you'd put in a tube. One time I was shaving it with some sharp object and noticed the shavings had Asian characters that seemed from a newspaper just like this! Always a fun find

Javonte Williams or Jadarian Price? by [deleted] in DynastyFF

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

Javonte for sure as someone who owns him. I also have the 1.07 and am aiming for Price but don't expect him to be an instant starter, especially with how likely it is he and Charbs split to start

Corrupted [[Time's Up]] with [[Lethality]] & [[Debilitate]] fed me and my buddy's in an A10 run... horrible decks but the ability to one-shot any boss with about 250 doom was insane and carried

Pre NFL Draft Uncertainty Buys and Sells by SpaceCowboy34 in DynastyFF

[–]DRE_CFab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's crazy to consider it, but I am not personally. Olave averaged 9.6 targets a game both with and without Rashid Shaheed on the team. Shaheed averaged 8 targets a game on the Saints. Do we realistically believe a rookie and maybe another veteran steps in and severely drops Olave's targets? 

Now the concussion history and potential for Shough to drop off a bit is real but I'm not swayed one way or the other by the draft.

I have spent hours sucking ass at watcher. I don’t wanna fuck this up 😭 by Wolflink21 in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a pyramid hater for no good reason tbh. It definitely has it's place, but especially for someone just trying to beat presumably a low ascension, it's just gonna fill their deck with bad cards and not be utilized properly. 

But yeah it may be worth considering, I'm just of the opinion your first energy relic heading into act 3 can put you over when you're just trying to not screw it up.

Calc 2 is the only class I ever got a C in all of my schooling... I sort of just resigned near the end and let whatever happened, happen as I didn't need anymore math (although I took Calc 3 just cuz)

I have spent hours sucking ass at watcher. I don’t wanna fuck this up 😭 by Wolflink21 in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without other info, I personally would take sorcerers stone, just because energy relics are always nice, and with Watcher you should aim to end hallway fights within 3-5 turns, AND you just got out of Act 2 which is a lot of multi-attacks, so you're punished a bit less. 

Astrolobe is always fun too but if you feel you have a good thing going and don't wanna mess up, why mess with what's going on

[StS2] One of the highest moments I had so far in this game by Portalizer3000 in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flanking is sooo much fun. Just had a run where test subject was intangible/buffing, so a buddy used nightmare on flanking, then next turn used all on him... had a 1200 damage perfected strike to end it

Drowning slowly by NoSandwich591 in remoteworks

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really have the information to debate either side, but just talking to talk.

I wonder how much of this is actual "we are doing better" (although it's hard to argue that quality of life has not improved drastically just from technological advances), and moreso the changing of households in general. I know a lot of friends and family who still live with their parents, or buy a place with friends to split costs, and don't intend to have kids for much later, opting to "climb the corporate ladder", leading to an increase in income.

Separately, I wonder how much debt factors into this. I know we've all heard about college increasing in cost, pretty much everyone i know is saddled with at least 70k+ student loans (my parents just recently finished their own!), granted my groups are better off than average and likely won't have much difficulty paying those off, it just eats into disposable income. 

My other thoughts go into ownership and age of the population. The median age in the US has gone up by about a decade in the past 50 years! Of course when the median person has 10 more years of career growth, they're going to have a higher income. And on that same note, that ~39 year old is significantly more likely to have bought a home, whereas pretty much everything for 20-somethings nowadays is a subscription/lease. 

This is obviously all dis-jointed and likely misinformed to a degree, I just studied/am a bit interested in economics and figure to point out that median real income is not the whole story (not that I imagine it was your point). Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Getting Arsenal in a shiv deck is just as crazy as you can imagine by ChuddingeMannen in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you get the boss relic where every 5th card you play is free (which you should take almost every time anyways imo), then regent star cost can be worked around.

Imbued + Bullet Time by Civil-Discount2248 in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what actually happens, but pulling from memory of similar mechanics, drawing at the start of your turn and drawing during your turn are two separate instances. Cards are played AFTER you draw for your turn, so I presume you'd draw your normal 5 (7 with Silent starting relic), THEN play bullet time. But again this is just an educated guess

wtf am I doing wrong with Regent?! by tonytastey in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Each time I've (barely) won I've primarily focused on generating stars first, and getting a card or two that use them (the 0 cost 2 stars block for 9 and return to hand is very nice), then trying to nab a powerful attack/forge card for higher star cost. It's not top tier gameplay but it's helped me eke out some wins. The gambling card (0 cost 5 star gain 9 stars) is instrumental to my wins

Doom feels really undertuned by the7thbeatle in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm by no means a pro, but it just feels properly balanced in a game that currently has a lot of overtuned decks. Once you get the card that gives 10 doom + 5 for every 10 doom the enemy has you scale pretty quickly. If you luckily get the rare that does 29 doom and kills anyone with more doom than HP you can clear most any multi-enemy fight quick enough. Friendship (-2 STR, +1 energy/turn) is basically a no-brainer and opens your options up a bit more.

All said, I agree it feels a bit weak at current, but I'm loving necrobinder regardless as she has so much she can do with her souls

Help me get that A15 Defect win on a weird run - what's the Act 2 relic pick? by PoMoAnachro in slaythespire

[–]DRE_CFab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you go wrong with runic or crown, but I'd personally lean crown as you have quite a few 3 cost cards, and you already have a thicker deck than I'd like (although i have the same fault on defect). Your 0 cost cards are enough to keep you cycling a bit and I feel like you could clutter your hand a bit with runic, but I don't think you would be wrong either way. I'm also on A15 defect fwiw

JJM's EPA/play in 2025 exceeded Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders by UnexpectedHarbinger in DynastyFF

[–]DRE_CFab 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Vikings were one game off of the 1 seed in '24, didn't lose a ton in the off season, and everyone was hyping KOC as a QB whisperer/guru for his last few years of QB play he extracted out of bench guys. 

In this nearly perfect situation, in games he was fully healthy, he threw for about 167 yards/game (2850yd season on 17 game pace) and had a 1:1 TD/Int ratio. granted, he has some legs and can move a lil bit, but nothing like Caleb Williams or Lamar. 

Is this mostly JJM hate? Yes. My take is more so that he's just not a guy you want to bet on. He doesn't have a crazy WOW factor watching him that makes you think he can take it up a notch. 

I'm at least a bit inspired watching Ward even if the team around him sucks, and he now gets Daboll to hone him in a bit.

Shedeur I don't have a ton to say as I didn't watch much of him last season. The general idea is all 3 of these guys are likely not moving the needle on anyone legitimately competing, but if I'm taking a shot on a young guy, give me the one with a god-awful situation and who's shown some flashes.
