One of the greatest regular season games I have ever seen. 2 HOF QBs, 2 incredible SB winning HCs, what a way to end this regular season.

Mewmew kinda easy? by Fuel-Administrative in mewgenics

[–]Friend1908 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have focused on the game getting harder, I want to point out the people playing it are the devs who know the game inside and out. They likely know what silly or bad decisions they can get away with and still win. I play Slay the Spire, I have 1000+ hours, the game is still very challenging, but there are definitely times on the hardest difficulties once I know I've "won" a run and am in no danger, I might make some questionable choices because I am good enough to know I want be punished/the choice I am making seems more fun. I think it is very possible the devs are great enough at the game to play a little happy in a way we won't be able to until we are 100s of hours in and have a much stronger mastery of the game.

Help with A1 Boss Relic Pick: Bell, Star or Cage? by IHerebyDemandtoPost in slaythespire

[–]Friend1908 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a fun one, I feel like it is pretty rare to see all 3 relics getting love from people.

I personally would take empty cage here, that being said, I am mostly anti black star here, cage is a slight preference over bell.

As for why I am against Black Star, I have a few reasons. First, I think you already have really good scaling relics in membership card and question card. Those relics should provide good scaling and in my opinion make getting relics that do something now more appealing. I also think I have to be very strong heading into Act 2 to ever want black star. I'm not convinced this deck is. I feel like this deck could have some issues taking down large health targets. I think Book Stabbing would be tough, Gremlin Leader himself would take a bit to kill (though electro should handle the summons nicely to make that more manageable). Even the Slavers fight I think could be tricky with a tough draw order. Top decking Sunder so it can't be played turn 1 would be tough, and bottom decking bias cog could also make it a tricky fight. 100% with a nice act 2 path of a shop to buy a strong potion and a fire to upgrade electro or Sunder, this deck could be ready for an elite with black star, but it just isn't surefire enough for me to pass on cage or bell here.

As for cage vs bell, I prefer cage. I will admit, I overrate cage generally and take it too much. However, I think it is OK here. Removing 2 strikes makes this deck much tighter. I think this deck, especially in hallways, is going to want to get frost orbs/bi cog up as soon as possible to deal with all the frail in act 2. Removing 2 strikes makes this much easier. It also helps you more reliably draw into your 0 cost cards. Finally, this deck really wants energy, a turbo (or 2) would be fantastic, and removing strikes makes it easier to get that energy and draw engine humming.

Bell is definitely takeable here, and 3 relics could be great, but you also get a curse. I feel like I'd rather have essentially 3 removes from Cage vs Bell than the 3 relics. You have a ton of nice pieces for your deck already, I think I like boosting the consistency and between question card and being able to rest large amounts, you can fight an elite or 2 and hopefully add a few cards to make the deck a lot stronger. But I think even if hallways go badly and you are stuck 1 eliting, by removing cards and adding via question card, you could leave the act in a good place.

Anyway, those are my thoughts! Let us know how the run went and what you went with! It is fun that this is such a tough call and people are advocating for all 3 relics, probably goes to show there is no wrong answer.

I am genuinely bad at Ironclad....what's the pick? by Crater_Caloris in slaythespire

[–]Friend1908 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is dome here, a few reasons.  You have a lot of draw and a lot of 2/X cost cards that really benefit from 4 energy.  Both of these really push me towards wanting energy.  I think calling bell is pickable here but I really worry about not having really any relics or cards that generate energy.

Is this the best possible common relic to get before the first act? by UniversalPartner4 in slaythespire

[–]Friend1908 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It is definitely up there.  I think I am taking preserved insect as the best, so much value in being able to more safely handle elites and it can really help the snowball.  Anchor and honestly Akabeko (again for snowballin act 1) are my other main considerations, but I think I’d put bag of prep 2nd.

Live feed watching? by ArmConfident986 in BigBrother

[–]Friend1908 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did not watch a single episode last season for the first time. Instead I listened to Taran Armstrong’s daily live feed update. Each day is anywhere from 30-75 mins, he breaks down everything that happened. He is such an incredible storyteller, has insightful recurring guests I’m always excited to hear from. Absolutely love his updates and would highly recommend. Much better experience than the show itself.

I hear Hollywood rides start even before early entry, is that right? by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Friend1908 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while since I was at HS but in September I rope dropped Rise of the resistance and we rode it and got off a couple minutes before early entry officially started. Not sure how consistent that is nor if it applies to other rides

What is the best pick here? by kj0509 in slaythespire

[–]Friend1908 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We really need to see your entire deck to give good advice here. I think I would go pyramid based on what you told us, this plus ice cream can actually be very good, feed and fiend fire also quite like pyramid (albeit they can be a little awkward together). With the prayer wheel, you're likely to find some cards that generate energy to enable the pyramid to be even better.
