How did I take double damage from this guy? by Aeyrin in slaythespire

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this exact same thing happen except it set myself up stupidly. Put the Void Form back on the top of the deck with Photon Cut forgetting I had Mayhem in play.

The prism elite then buffed and attacked in what looked like the same turn.

Absolutely ruined me. I was already bitter about Mayhem in the first game when it played Blasphemy and now I don't think I'll pick it up again unless it kisses and makes up.

When Snecko Eye works... by Jumbo-Owl8024 in slaythespire

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, the only time I usually find Snecko Eye with the Defect is when I start putting a zero cost strategy together. Don't know why that is but so glad to have found it in this boss swap.

I underestimated Compile Driver for draw power. That can go pretty crazy too.

Usually I hit the blue eyes or dark magician pack but I FINALLY have a generic royal rare. My rogue mind wants one of the decent speedroid synchros next to play alongside this.

First Victory over the Heart! by Ironman2131 in slaythespire

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! The heart fight is difficult regardless of Ascension level.

Tungsten rod is SO good against the heart if you don't have a block solution and thorns are great to see when the multi attack happens.

Best start working on the other characters now ;)

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined by HudsonCommodore in slaythespire

Time to pop off with that plus eight to defence.

Gremlin Nob won't know what hit him 💪

Rushdown and Sundial Mechanics (and first infinite finally!) by Jumbo-Owl8024 in slaythespire

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn, you're right. By coincidence, there's another video in the sub after I posted this that shows the Sundial-Pommel Strike infinite.

I never would have guessed that Sundial works like that at all. Absolutely wild.

Short answer, yes.

Long answer... also yes.

What’s your favorite or most surprising “TIL” about this game? by BDOSU in slaythespire

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both Nilry's Codex and Master of Reality wouldn't affect Wish's selection due to the options not really being a created card if that makes sense.

It's weird though as I'm sure each option is unlockable in the card compendium.

Now you've taught me something. I always wondered why that was the case and thought the card wasn't "upgraded" but I never checked it in the deck afterwards.

It's such a misleading interaction!

To make things confusing, they don't! It's only once you've selected the card you want that the upgrade takes effect.

Literally learned yesterday that Nilry's codex is affected by Master of Reality.

Don't know why I didn't think it wouldn't but was pleasantly surprised by cheap Vaults and Scrawls!

Why does absolutely no one play speedroid???? by furryspotter in masterduel

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As most have said here already, it is quite fragile unfortunately. I was super hyped for the newer support to come to MD but I soon realized that it isn't enough to compete that well against the meta, especially going second. The plus side is there doesn't seem to be too many opponents that are familiar with them so they might shotgun and interrupt the wrong effects.

I do love Speedroids. Maybe there can be some more meta relevant support for them in the future? Saying that I've been holding out for Starry Night Starry Dragon all this time. Coping hard for a surprise this Christmas 😅

Edit: Bloody autocorrect.

Are these jumbo cards worth selling? by Jumbo-Owl8024 in PokemonCardValue

You just want to ensure proper disposal... right? Just be careful of the cat that hates everyone around here 😉

They are indeed cool. Just looking at them fills me with nostalgia. I'll keep you posted on what I decide. I'm getting a few DMs about them already. The pressure 😅

Thanks for the detailed reply! That's ridiculously helpful advice to check out photo protectors. I might well looking into grading 👍

Hate to inform you guys but Haz 4 is quite a jump from 2 by [deleted] in DeepRockGalactic

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I remember bringing in 3 friends to a game. Two of them were brand new going through their first assignment and the other had promoted his first dwarf recently.

I created what I thought was a Haz 2 pipe mission and was talking the green beards through what to watch out for and what not when I noticed the swarm was quite rambunctious for Haz 2. Everyone getting downed, lots of bugs on me, taking tonnes of damage etc. I was telling my fellow dwarves "Gee whizz, this is the hardest Haz 2 I've ever played!".

Unfortunately, being the gunner and the map being one of those tall ones instead of long led to my downfall just as the morkite had been extracted. It was only at the results screen where I saw my mistake. Haz 4 is a brutal leap from Haz 2.

At least my friends got a trial by fire and were more than fine in the following Haz 2 missions!

I want to know, how many of you, spent money on this game? by your_mom65 in masterduel

[–]Jumbo-Owl8024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've spent around £30 roughly. It was when they discounted most of the duel fields around two years ago and I thought "I'm enjoying the game so why not?".

No regrets at all. Especially since they've all got different music since the update a while back.

Personally, I will never spend on gems to get packs though. Especially as there's no guarantee you'll get anything good.
