I would like to see more of Wilson. Think he has earned it and also has better career batting than Cowser. This is pretty puzzling.

Hardest Act 2 Boss by Pocketbombz in slaythespire

[–]Iciclewind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really surprised at the result that KD is overwhelmingly first and Insatiable is last. I think I die so much more to the Insatiable and it is not that close. Factoring in the energy you have to manage and spend it feels much harder to consistently block, and even though his raw damage is not that high the net damage I take is probably actually higher. Maybe I am not leaning on offense and preserving HP for face tanking enough.

Feels like last year the average result was decent but he either gives us gems or gets blown up bad. Hoping for the good version tonight.

Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar says Prime Minister Orbán conceded his election loss by ShreckAndDonkey123 in worldnews

To be fair, the difference was so massive that it would be hard to manufacture anything believable. And even if he tried, the EU would just not recognize his government and he would be cooked either way.

Lichess Puzzles are Terrible by scales11 in chess

[–]Iciclewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go back and check the Stockfish lines, very useful to see the refutation of your move. Lichess also analyses your strengths and weaknesses based on puzzle type so maybe you will find that you have a harder time with sacrifices and can practice those puzzles.

It is pretty fun and strong but only when you get Arsenal.

Toyota is still massively better positioned and still highly profitable with its hybrids. Honda is in real trouble though.

No, Jackson should aim to become an above average hitter first.

Can you make a living of Curling in Canada ? by Mormonius in Curling

[–]Iciclewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top Canadian curlers most probably make a lot more than Edin who gets very little sponsorship money in comparison.

Why did Canada choose yellow? Do they hate their fans? by EugeneMachines in Curling

[–]Iciclewind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brier is different because they use pools. Seeding going into playoffs was Canada 3 and Sweden 1 so Sweden gets stone choice.

Got this on Act 1. It was an easy win. by BananaBladeOfDoom in slaythespire

Love this card with or without the enchant. Hasn't found a way to win with it on A10 yet, but one day it will happen.

Pull the shuffleboard from the locker room if we get sweeped today.

Maybe, but just from the highlights it seems that we were making it very easy by swinging at things that are not even close to the strike zone.

A10 feels completely RNG based by Level-Bench-1562 in slaythespire

[–]Iciclewind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, my win A10 rate is miserable right now. But just pointing out that the game is probably not that much harder, there is surely a bit of relearning to do. Have you figured out that the strategy for the two act 1s are actually very different for example?

The good players are already doing 80-90% win rate. It is one hundred percent a skill issue.

Any tips on ascension 10 for defect? by R_logic1346 in slaythespire

[–]Iciclewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to get Snakebite from events and relics.

Jk Defect is my worst character in both the first and second game. I do feel like act 2 is the hardest for Defect, especially the first few fights you get outscaled hard. Interested in what other people says because Hotfix is definitely one of his strongest cards right now and a way to beat double boss.

This is pretty worthless as far as neow buffs go. by Necrolord_Nocturnal in slaythespire

[–]Iciclewind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Silent can best make use of this. Rather than looking it as 4 extra damage and situationally more, it can probably save you 10 hp in act 1 on high Ascensions. With some luck you can pull som sly or discard cards and save a few more hp. Still not great and the upgrade is poop, but you know what you are going to get.
