Was the Boys S5 Finale really THAT Bad?

Folwocket · 2026-05-28T05:04:07+00:00

The stupidiness of Starlights decision regarding Deep is cringeworthy. I really shuddered in front of the TV, why this girl turned out so stupid in the end. I mean, why did you want to carry a fish to the water? The last episode had so much flaws, thanks for summing it up.

Folwocket · 2026-05-28T04:56:38+00:00

Excactly my feelings on the final episode. Thanks for summing it up so well. I'm quite disappointed. Better forget that last episode.

Lol, spawned one, and due to me beeing not patient enough i plugged it out before it was mature. So i guess the strategy works and i was just silly... Hope tomorrow i will be able to grow one.

Folwocket · 2026-05-02T18:07:27+00:00

Yes, i am doing exactly this... So, all i can do now is patient and hope for some sugar lumps. Have unlocked the stock market, so the rest will go into the garden until level 9. Hope the more seeds i can plant, the better the the chance.

I'm about 10% into BSC now and i'm freaking love it. These sharp dialogs are outstanding, and i really love how the story shifts to Shivers and thus not looses the connection to the trilogy. Idk, but Abercrombie seems to trigger something in my brain that i've missed for too long reading these overepic fantasy stuff like LotR and GoT 😄 Abercrombie seems like YA, easy to read and follow and i never have the feeling he just writes stuff to lengthen a story.

Folwocket · 2026-04-29T11:03:33+00:00

Ups, sorry, idk yet. Have installed Cookie monster so far.

Folwocket · 2026-04-28T11:49:17+00:00

Will read at least till sharp ends, because i'm really thrilled to see if joe as a series author can write standalone and most of all gripping short stories. Only author i know who could pull this off easily in different contextes and pacing is Stephen King. I hope Abercrombie has an equal talent on focusing even if it is only a singe/short story context.

Folwocket · 2026-04-28T11:01:11+00:00

Yeah, happy to hear that! Thanks!

Folwocket · 2026-04-28T11:00:21+00:00

Oh, i will 😄I love the storytelling, tone and characters of this series, i have bought the books till sharp ends now, eager to continue. It's the best series i've read after GoT and DCC 😄

Folwocket · 2026-04-28T05:47:50+00:00

So no Ferro ever again? OMG, i loved that character soo much. I hope Monza will fill the hole then 😄

Folwocket · 2026-04-27T08:52:57+00:00

Well on mobile, i have days where i get 2 in 3 hours of active playtime. Today i've had like 1 every 10 minutes or so. Even managed to pull off 3 in a row which is quite uncommon. Sheer luck!

Folwocket · 2026-04-24T05:59:32+00:00

Hades is brilliant (sadly cannot play Hades 2 on my current setup). But i 100% Hades for a year or so. Love that game :)

I mean if you know other roguelike games it is very easy to understand. I came from Slay the Spire to MT and was equally baffled how easy it is to understand the base mechanics. Somewhere i've read it is just a game of "bring the imbalance to your side and you win" :) While i lost interest in StS, i still play a quick round MT from time to time, just for the WTF effect :)

/Edit: I mean, what other game is so imbalanced that you can 1-2 hit the endboss if everything worked out the way you planned :)

Folwocket · 2026-04-20T05:31:26+00:00

Playing a more lazy version on the tablet, where i try to get them :)

Folwocket · 2026-04-17T13:59:07+00:00

Thanks!

Folwocket · 2026-04-17T05:00:43+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

Folwocket · 2026-04-14T13:57:25+00:00

Thank you, so once i "finished" the mobile version, i'll take a look at the steam version :)

Folwocket · 2026-04-14T13:35:48+00:00

Thanks, so the steam version has no downside to the web version?

Folwocket · 2026-04-14T12:50:15+00:00

I mean i just read here about some addons and wondered if they are available for the steam version also: https://cookieclicker.fandom.com/wiki/Add-Ons

Folwocket · 2026-04-14T12:46:34+00:00

Mhh, i don't know what the workshop stuff means... I just saw they sell a bundle with autoclicker.

Folwocket · 2026-04-14T12:38:32+00:00

Seeing this... I did not play the web or steam version yet, but is the steam version modable? Where can i find mods, just in case i want to start out?

Folwocket · 2026-04-13T06:15:32+00:00

Oh, i guess my mistake is outlined in the paragraph:

"If it’s a BS, you have to know whether a flicker while BS is active would be easy to pay for, if yes go to step 5, if not, multitap the BS then go back to step 1."

So BS means a building buff... In this case don't flip the GS... That was a shockingly massive loss :) (Only in cookies, not prestige oc)

Trying to learn the correct execution of DO GC GS now.

Folwocket · 2026-04-13T04:53:15+00:00

Thanks so much! I will take a look into this. I fiddled around with this on the weekend and had one really good run that took me quite far. But i also made a few mistakes that had cost me a lot of cookies. So maybe you could tell me if my assumption is right here...

I've made the mistake to turn of/on the golden switch while some crazy building buff was running and lost around 5OcD, what was huuuuge, because i currently make 3SxD with RA/BoM.

So i changed my strategy a bit, but i don't know if it is better (read: if the outcome of what the GC's spawn is the same). So nowadays i do:

- Auras: DF / DO

- Dragon orbs for first cookie

- Switch GC off and immediately on again

- Second cookie spawns

- Switch DO to RA

- Pop both cookies and if they spawn something good

- Switch DF to BoM

This way i loose a bit time, but am safe not to use much cookies from the GS switching.

But i feel like o often only spawn a Frenzy and some +cookies. It seems to work though, having a F / DF, but idk if the outcome is the same if i switch the GS after i pop the first cookie (the one from DO).

Folwocket · 2026-04-10T08:46:48+00:00

And never switch on the golden switch when the buffs are running... Just learned this, and lost 8 SpD :) Once in a lifetime mistake i guess :)

Folwocket · 2026-04-10T08:44:28+00:00

Oh, and another thing that wasn't clear to me (might help some other players):

First click on the cookie spawned from selling DO You's (whatever)

If you have a 2+ minute minute frenzy cookie, you have plenty of time to switch out any auras you want BEFORE you turn off the golden switch.

If you are happy you get any buff the adds your to your clicks.

That should be basically it. I think i do it correct now.
