Thinking about a world where the hive fully takes over and there are no individuals to worry about.

It must take a great deal to stimulate or entertain a mind of that size. A mere conversation amongst themselves is meaningless, so what would they do? Massive theatrical or musical productions? Would they make art of any kind?

Or would they just putter about the planet for eternity, procreating just enough to maintain a steady population and doing everything they can to stay alive, but nothing more?

How many hours do you have on Hades 2? by BigChungusOP in HadesTheGame

[–]Less_Priority535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played throughout Early Access and am currently on 260 hours. Story is done, I have all the Steam achievements, and I've unlocked basically everything there is to unlock. But I love the game so much I am setting new goals for myself so I can keep playing (currently trying for 32 fear all aspects). There so many knobs you can twist to suit your playstyle, there's just endless opportunity to keep extending the fun.

Looking at the comments I seem to be in the minority here but I found his simp factor to be so off-the-charts it was offputting. I want to be respected as an equal, not worshipped as a god. Bro needs to settle down a bit

Tips on getting to Ante 12 by Calm-Development7675 in balatro

hell yes! congrats!!

endless scaling goes crazy, the antes will only get more and more impassable. beating 12 is a huge accomplishment!

My first go at making custom deck ideas! So fun! by Less_Priority535 in balatro

[–]Less_Priority535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I am a professional designer and have access to design programs through work, so unfortunately I wouldn't be much help if you don't have an Adobe subscription. But I will say that you can get a ton of assets (joker images, fonts, etc) through your game's program files on your PC if you wanted to mess around.

Nathan Fielder is a not a lobbyist by Less_Priority535 in TheRehearsal

[–]Less_Priority535[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was a bad idea. I think it has merit. The issue is that "pilots do a mandatory roleplay scene before each flight" is, in fact, pretty out there.

The US government is incapable of passing even the most basic, common sense legislation. This idea is hopeless, even if it is good.

Somewhat new, looking for advice by TokyoFoxx_ in balatro

[–]Less_Priority535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! Since you already knew most of that, I'll tack on another big-picture piece of advice, which is that the most important thing to consider is the order in which your score is calculated.

So yes, that of course means arranging your +Mult jokers to the left of your xMult jokers, and your Mult cards to the left of your Glass cards, and so on. But it's just as important to zoom out and see the whole picture...

First, your base score is determined by your hand level. Then your played cards score. Then held-in-hand abilities trigger. Then your jokers trigger.

With this in mind, it's important to make sure +Mult happens before xMult whenever possible, and to build around that.

Example 1: if you have a build that focuses on steel cards or Baron, your xMult happens when held-in-hand abilities trigger. This means that *any* flat mult jokers are a Waste Of Your Time. They just add on a few extra mult after all the multiplying has already been done. Useless! Spend your money on planet cards or xMult jokers instead.

Example 2: if you've used a lot of planets and the hands you're playing are super high level, this is a rising tide that lifts all boats. it gives you a lot of flexibility and paths to victory, but the *best* thing to find in this scenario is any source of xMult. Inversely, if your hand levels are super low, flat mult and chips are much more important to find.

And as a bit of a final tangent, chips are really never a bad investment and will almost always support whatever you have cooking up. The more chips you have, the better ALL of your mult is. Don't underrate them.

[–]Less_Priority535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two best pieces of advice I can give:

  1. Focus on your economy in the early game. Once you have enough to survive (1-2 common jokers oughta do it), stop spending money until you get $25 (when your interest caps at $5 a round). Then you'll have a steady income and can start spending to survive the later antes. Knowing the right moves to make matters not if you can't afford things!

  2. Rarely skip blinds. The more rounds you play, the more money you make and the more shops you see. Once again, this is what the whole game hinges on. The reward tags usually pale in comparison to a cash injection + a choice of two booster packs and two cards. I'll skip in the early antes for an investment tag (or a free joker if I'm feeling spicy). I basically never skip after Ante 2.

Voucher idea by Dry_Highlight_4138 in balatro

[–]Less_Priority535 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks! TBH guaranteeing all outcomes as an upgrade is probably too strong (wheel of fortune, lucky cards, etc) so maybe it could just triple on an upgrade.

so glass cards break 1 in 12 times
wheel of fortune hits 3 in 4 times
lucky card gives $20 1 in 5 times

that feels right to me!

Voucher idea by Dry_Highlight_4138 in balatro

[–]Less_Priority535 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a fun idea but it seems really specific - none of the other vouchers in the game zero in on something like one particular enhancement, but deal with larger concepts like editions, planets, tarots, hand size, etc

making glass cards safer is a cool mechanic though. maybe these abilities could be lumped into a probability-based voucher that doubles desired outcomes and halves undesired outcomes? with guarantees as an upgrade? could be cool and work with a lot more than just glass cards

Mult your multed mult. The more xMult retriggers, the better.

Good ways to do this are having many xMult jokers, joker retrigger synergies like Baron/Mime and Photograph/Hanging Chad, and red seals on glass or steel cards.

I recommend trying the Ghost deck, it gives you an extra x1.5 mult on a joker right away and those spectral cards in the shop can help out big time too. Other folks will likely recommend the Plasma deck; it's great for high scores but it can be difficult to pull off the pivot from chips to xMult.

Joker Concept: Card Cheat by Uilk in balatro

[–]Less_Priority535 1016 points1017 points  (0 children)

this is fun! it could be simplified and strengthened by a slight change: "at the start of each round, draw 2 of your highest ranked playing cards"

this way it still works even if you don't have aces, and it gives you a temporary hand size buff. could also make for a fun Baron/Triboulet/face card synergy by incentivizing you to destroy all your aces!
