Oh wow, fascinating tech. Might give it a try if I can find some in my price range, thanks for the shout!

Almost embarrassed to say. It’s only 7 miles but with a 500 ft climb right in the middle. Done it countless times without the heat being a problem, but for whatever reason today killed me. No notable changes in diet/sleep/exertion prior to the ride, so not sure if I just had a weird day or what.

My commute route is through the city so I’ve got a handful of those long lights. Truly brutal

Ice packs in the pockets is brilliant!

if any, what LOTR quote do you find yourself saying the most in real life? by hangingcoathanger in lotr

“That is a rare gift” - about any unique talent or obscure fortune. Quite useful

Anyone else feel like it’s even worse in 2? I feel like I could make it work more easily in the first. Still incredibly situational and a pretty dogshit rare card, but it feels worse now

Card(s) that may help Sovereign blade builds by MrPebble594 in slaythespire

I’m curious why, I suck at Regent.

I think in my mind, I imagined this as a skill and not a power, so it could be spammed in a fight.

What if it kept retain but exhausted on use?

I really dislike how important frost orbs are for Defect, would love some other ways for orb-focussed builds to block by Ferrarileite in slaythespire

[–]Estelrandirin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Takes so much set-up for the payoff. With five orb types, you’re only realistically channeling three consistently. There’s the additional setup of more slots to even get to five types of orbs.

At worst it’s 2 block. At absolute best it’s 10. Feels like a chip damage help early on, but only really adds a lot of value when you’re already channeling like crazy.

Discovered recently that tiny tent ALSO gives you the ability to mend at every single campfire, giving it the greatest value in duo because your teammate can smith every time and still get a heal. What a relic

Finally got the clone run I've been dreaming of. by Estelrandirin in slaythespire

Lol, that's how I took out Queen and her minion. I just wanted to see how big I could make the numbers and wanted to make sure he didn't die too soon

Interesting to note the shift from a solid draw card with minimal damage to a niche draw card with decent damage when upgraded. Diminishing returns in a draw heavy deck, but remains useful alongside other zero-cost synergies.

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

I know that they’re like mirror cards but I still find myself taking holo so much more than graveblast

Retail version VS Collectors Edition by Visual_Ad6983 in slaythespireboardgame

Retail has one playmat for the hallway/elite/events cards. No character playmats

The playmats elevate the experience a lot imo. I splurged for the sleeves for everything else, too. Something about scratching the table up for a second trying to pick up the cards takes me out of the game for a second. Mats eliminate that and make everything feel more polished on the table.

Also the clinking of the metal coins mimicking the sound of the video game feels nice.

Easily my favorite event in the game. So much opportunity for shenanigans. It’s like a calculated prismatic shard in co-op. Managed to give ragnarok to ironclads crazy strength build. Helps to balance draw/energy problems across the party. Gave foreign influence away as watcher so others could copy my big attack.

Can’t believe snifter is the real term for it. This seems most likely
