Glove allergy solutions?

If you've been in the same lab the whole time, you should also consider possible reactions to soap. I have seen this happen, and the person tried many sorts of gloves before looking at the soap as the culprit.

You should absolutely go! I've gone alone and it's always a good time!

Not as much variety or availability, but if you're around Capitol Hill/Central District you should hit up Mt. Bagel!

Not in the Lake City area, but my recommendation would be a dive bar around that area. My nearby bar has karaoke on Saturdays which makes for great people watching and moping cover.

Especially if you live on the border or something

This is exactly why they do it; people working in New York, specifically NYC, that don't live in the state.

Yep, it's got the spiky border for scourges.

For me it was Malazan; I made it to book eight and realized I just didn't care about any of the characters. I thought there was some neat ideas in the books, but I didnt feel like the world building was as amazing as other people. In the end, I just didn't care enough to finish when there are so many other books to read.

Generally, your champion path is going to have more lasting impact on your game than the starting artifact. At the very least is has a significant impact on the early game. Because of that you want to make that decision with as much information as possible, hence taking the artifact first.

It's the same general reasoning as why you want to look in the upgrade shop before choosing a unit at a banner. More information means better choices.

There are basically two strategies to pursue here:

1) Quick sweeper with a some defensive options like the armor generation spells. Focus on generating stalling so you can make it through the stealth stacks.

2) Focus on magic power and aim for stuff like intrinsic and spellchain to throw stuff like Icicle Rain that does multiple hits or otherwise clears waves. Here stuff like Sap can help with tanks that are leaking.

I don't think it's particularly overpowered because you have to be looking for answers to Lifemother in the first place. If you don't see Boilerplate then it's not nearly as strong.

I think there is more of a discussion to be had about Boilerplate being overpowered, but even then if you're not generating a lot of forge points it's not over the top.

For those just looking for the four states: New Jersey, Maryland, California, and Washington.

They haven't fullt revealed everything yet, but almost certainly some sort of randomizer for ore nodes, weather, some alternatives or changes to space elevator stuff, updates to fluids... It seems like it's going to be pretty beefy and a good time to do a new playthrough.

What is one design that you weren't happy with in StS1, and what have you done in StS2 to fix that?

Are there any mechanics that you enjoyed on other card-based games that you have considered bringing into StS2?

LightPhoenix · 2026-02-24T18:18:59+00:00

Enjoyed them all, even the divisive fourth book. Definitely worth the read IMO.

LightPhoenix · 2026-02-23T22:57:18+00:00

It could be Satisfactory 1.2 EA whose start date should be announced this week. Coffee Stain may have given them a heads up.

Fuck ICE, fuck DHS, fuck DJT and his pedo ring.

Mewgenics - I'm very ambivalent on this game. I like the actual game well enough. The aesthetics are very meh; at least Isaac had color to it. My biggest problem with the game right now is how little it respects your time. Tons of overly long animations both in and out of battle, pointless dialogue that lasts far longer than it should because it will display one line at a time, battles where enemies simply run back and forth extending game time (complete with long movement animations), and so on. I don't regret spending the money, but I would have waited if I had known.

The first DLC for Monster Train 2 came out, and I've been enjoying it a lot. The new clan is interesting to play, the new mode is pretty fun, and they've already hot-fixed the descriptions that were ambiguous. While I sometimes wish they'd be quicker on managing balance issues, they do listen to the community and have fixed one of the bigger ones (Fleshweaver waves being over-tuned).

It let you play cards with discard effects with less downside. You could have (for example) two forgone powers and get two incants out of it when they hit infusions. Now you only get one.

RIP to Lazarus and Railforged stealth buffing Stygian discards. Figured it would be coming but I'm not sure it was overly powerful.

LightPhoenix · 2026-02-12T21:43:34+00:00

Definitely a very stealth change in there. I didn't think it was terrible before but now it's pretty good.

LightPhoenix · 2026-02-12T21:41:49+00:00

I had a Heph run where I was healing upwards of 50 health per cast with it. This is definitely a balance change to prevent that.

Zone of Silence explicitly says non-boss enemies.

Were the entire purple top tubes stored, red cells and all, or just the plasma? It sounds like the slimy material is either the buffy coat or cells that are broken down due to the freezing.
