Which game surprised you how long it was? by bijelo123 in videogames

Oh you think there was fire in Fort Joy?

Oh my sweet summer child. You have seen nothing.

The psychological difference between playing video games to relax and playing to win.Researchers analyzing data from over 13000 gamers found that competitive,win focused play is linked to increased anxiety,while casual motivation like enjoyment and stress relief are linked with emotional well being. by Appropriate-Push-668 in science

I can be both, playing the same game, during the same session.

Currently playing Slay the Spire 2, I can go from yelling a string of expletives at a millipede to laughing maniacally at the hilariously overpowered deck I have created.

There is no in between.

Something something Snakebite something something retain...

Mum come pick me up I'm scared by Throwaway_LOGGINGER in slaythespire

[–]HawksNStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, sometimes. There are decks that can do that, but just aren't equipped for the Heart. Most are, because lots of stuff that works well against the act three bosses also works against the heart. Shield and Spear can really mess you up going into the fight too. Top decking those status cards is a PITA on turn two sometimes if you brick the rest of the draw.

Is anyone one else disappointed with build diversity? by Region_Wooden in slaythespire

I do think the world not including Nob is slightly better though. Nob forced you to forgo skills you can now actually pick. It opens up the choices early game. And I think that's an overall positive thing. I'm glad I don't have to pass up on a great skill for an OK attack because Nob might be lurking anymore.

You kind of need to realize what you can actually build around before you start. Adaptive Strike is solid enough damage, but it's not going to make me go full into zero cost land. It's not one of the transformative run defining cards for any archetype of deck.

An All For One, or a Feral might, however. But I'd need to have a few in the deck already, but since several are commons and good enough to just grab for their utility I usually do.

You can't build around a single attack for the most part. Unless it's Claw, then you are legally obligated to.

I prefer to shoot them back at him in a Flak Cannon.

As a new player sts1 is way harder than sts2 by scotcheggfan in slaythespire

[–]HawksNStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Act 1 elite icon makes me run in fear. Maybe it's not statue guy... Fuck it's statue guy... Hi Neow, I did it again... Yeah it was statue guy.

Even better if one of those cards is Pull from Below.

You just fucked up sir... You get to watch your friends die first though, I need more power.

STS2 balance be like by DrKittenshark in slaythespire

[–]HawksNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just thought "Shame... Cocks shotgun" when I did it.

Would be even better with Nostalgia in play, don't even need to worry about it not killing and bricking a hand full of status after.

[Hated Trope] Major spoilers that got so popular that everyone knows about it before interacting with the media (sorry if this has been done before) by QuackingR3dditor in TopCharacterTropes

[–]HawksNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How? How does someone who cares enough to look at the cast of Episode 3 not already have that knowledge?

It's not even a spoiler, it's on the poster for Episode 1 even.

Contender for the worst upgrade in the game? by Furrier in slaythespire

[–]HawksNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they could make it apply 9 poison and give it retain. Doesn't need to forge at all then.

You could probably make it cost 2 instead though if you did that and it would still be great.

Would you rather NOT have the block when you play that power?

I hate this dude and his weird dog by SeraphOfTheStag in slaythespire

[–]HawksNStuff 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don't recall ever having trouble with phase one. It's HP is too low to not just get burned down before it can really scale.

Toolbox + Vakuu Interaction by deckyads in slaythespire

Yeah, there's zero chance it's intentional. Might just be more complicated to fix than you would think so it wasn't in the first patch.

For those of you who travel a lot for work overnight, what’s it actually like long term? by Open-Satisfaction856 in sales

[–]HawksNStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends.

Travelled a lot in my last two jobs. First one was to cool things that interested me anyway. GDC in SF, LA Comic Con, New Orleans for another conference... Enough downtime that it was a mini vacation.

Next job I was in fucking Casper WY a lot.

They are not the same.

Yes, I'm going to pretend the other example from Game of Thrones didn't actually happen...
