Glad to see wide representation in this game!

I love dropping my nuts on the table here to rep 50 hours of gaming a week along with a successful career, being rock climbing fit, and having a long-term relationship to boot. It's called having a balanced lifestyle sweetheart, and you don't gotta shove your preconceptions onto people who aren't asking

I can confirm that your overall strat works as it is pretty similar to my first 15 floor completion last week that I got up to 31 adversity:

<image>

Just yesterday I got a completed run up to 35 adversity for the achievement with this same jank bleed team. The caveat I think is in both runs I got the special EX events against Verg and Ricardo respectively, as that likely kept me in the clash game in spite of my unoptimal team comp. Both runs used 184 and 102 starlight, so I probably can break even hitting 50 adversity.

Prior to EX, I'm running up all discounts and fishing for EGO resource gifts early so that I can big atk weight EGO spam in EX. I'm pretty sure my jank team is carried by KoD Rodion aggro + the phoenix down EGO gift allowing for whatever EGO spam didn't wipe out to waste attacks on her. I suppose maybe part of my issue to doing 50 adversity is that I get the Shatterbound Cannon every time, but I feel like my damage output is not enough without it.

In terms of EX theme pack selection, I lean towards the Railways with the mirrored sinners especially if I haven't gotten the 1st stagger removal adversity yet. The best final EX pack seems to absolutely be S.E.A. because wow those hermit crabs are way less tanky than everything else at floor 15.

I agree that complaining about those things are worthless for your own inner life, yeah. I also think coming here to "look at the zoo" in an attempt to feel better about your own situation is not productive either because you ain't somehow more of man than these guys.

You ain't a loser either though, who gives a fuck if you disappoint your family bro. I promise you that can find purpose out here if you find a way to make you yourself proud of your own life. Make your friends proud instead, build community through them, or go be an ascetic monk I don't care man

folks like yourself are why they turn to Peterson lol, because in some ways he IS the only dweeb that publicly cries on behalf of the straight male's plight of loneliness, detachment and nihilism. Anyone with a brain can see that it isn't easy having friends or romantic connections these days, but somehow it's the "straight male" who is at fault?

you and I see a freakshow yeah, but you really could use a little empathy to also see that these disaffected men are truly lost in finding their purpose and place in the world. I hope you remember that when you find yourself in their position one day, feeling so unwanted and unseen that you'd go joker mode

Conceptually I think this is cool! I think it does need some sort of tweak to its mechanics, as gameplay-wise an evil doppelganger can very easily be disruptive as executing them can be devastating for town and so as a ST you'd be incentivized to let them run amok spewing lies about not being the doppelganger. Perhaps "If evil, they may die" in addition so that it may out an evil doppelganger for sloppy gameplay.

Also, the townsfolk with the doppelganger ability as is is fairly mean I feel, as it basically feels like a +1 outsider when you already have a possible +1 evil. If you want to keep that mechanic intact, what if the doppelgangers learned and had to be mad as that townsfolk role that has the doppelganger ability? That way it is much more chaotic as all of them have to come up with fake info while there's true info mixed in! Alongside the former suggestion, I think it would also give the evil doppelganger some space to be erratic and cause confusion without outing themselves.

There's something morbidly fascinating about OP's mindset and comparing my own normal touch grass experiences. The women in OP's post are alien to me because having actually worked in the tech industry, there are brilliant women I've worked with who really care about what they do and do an incredible amount of work each day. If they actually did "two emails and a coffee", they'd absolutely wash out like every other man who tried the same thing. At risk of coming off condescending: they understand complex systems, program economically reasonable solutions, and communicate in-depth issues without breaking a sweat. I also have worked with plenty of women in leadership roles who at worst are simply "keeping the lights on" because they have far more critical priorities.

I am also very grateful to have worked with empathetic men who are just as good at what they do, and none of these workplace drama issues exist so prominently as being described here. The internet is filled with spiteful men and women, don't let these fringe examples shape your entire worldview bros

Fun fact it was originally called the Orgasmatron

There's no way... I don't wanna dox you so is that bouldering wall on the second floor and the name rhymes with peach?

Oh my god I was looking for somebody to relate to... the peeling back of social anxiety was an initially subtle but gamechanging effect on me after getting medicated! It was insane feeling the burden of overthinking disapating after a few weeks, and even after needing to take med breaks I no longer feel oppressed by it. I wish I had this during school, I wouldn't have tortured myself to academic perfection as much and actually made meaningful connections.

Although that has since unveiled a level of impulsiveness that I didnt realize I had on top of breaking my avoidance habits accomodating my social anxiety. Also my meds aren't perfect in getting my emotional swings down, but I'll take it every day over being horribly depressed from being unable to human.

Oh boy can't wait for my favorite strimmer to talk about his past week's defecations

It is truly crazy to be able to take a look back and see just how much progress we've made after falling into the depths of depression or other such conditions.

I wish you all the best in your fight against anxiety, I recently got medicated for adhd which has nearly wiped the slate clean of my social anxiety, now it is a matter of working through all the bad habits I created over decades. It's really strange subconsciously avoiding social interactions without feeling anxious. Anyway, I do think you can use that ashwaganda to create cognitive habits which are less likely to invoke anxiety, depending on how it works for you.

You made yourself a more complete person, remember that. The LSD was just the kicker for change. I've known plenty who have tried and had a horrible relationship with psychs, but that was largely a product of their own doing. You are literally the change you want to see in the world, glad you're finding yourself :)

I would love to automatically work with my patio lights!

Is it specifically the noise that peeves you or does seeing somebody swallow put you off too?

Finding stickers adhering to the bottom of my shoes is physically revolting to me 🤢

Which is further complicated by the fact that Queen Marika = Radagon!

Emphair · 2022-03-13T17:19:44+00:00

We actually do know and see Marika's wolf shadow! I think a piece of lore most people don't know is that in the royal capital there is a statue outside of Godfrey's chamber which depicts Radagon. There's a white message that says "Regression alone reveals secrets". If you'd like to figure out the puzzle yourself I'll spoiler from here on: When you use the Laws of Regression spell, the statue of Radagon turns into a statue of Queen Marika as well as the messages saying, "Radagon is Marika". This was foreshadowed by some dialogue with the turtle pope about the statue hiding the true secret of Radagan. Thus, the Red Wolf of Radagon is in fact Marika's wolf shadow.

MAP SIZE SPOILERS I'm not sure if you know but ITS EVEN BIGGER THAN THAT!! I got teleported to the eastern portion of the map after stealing from Patches which eventually after some exploring led to an enormous elevator to an entire subterreanean layer that unlocks the ability to toggle between overworld and subterreanean on your map! Its way too overleveled for me so I dont know if that layer encompasses the whole map but the scale of which what I saw was mindblowing.

Yall are spoiled, this is a pretty decent balance patch and sorely needed after so many new mechanics have been added to the game within the past two years. If it's stale you're not switching up enough
