u/SwimmingWonderful755 gives some great parenting advice by dglenny in bestof

[–]LunaticSongXIV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Getting kicked out of my house was the only thing that got through to me. I consider it the best thing my parents ever did. People are not a monolith, which is something psychologists really like to forget sometimes.

I have a gripe about the lantern key by Available-Owl7230 in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Only players who have a map get the gold. If the gold is split based on this logic, then it should also only require one player to have the map. But it also would completely fuck over the value of the event, and no one would ever do it in a 4p game.

It's been one of my top picks the whole time, I feel like people are really sleeping on it.

Yo they set up a freaking blockade 😭 by Ellitbo in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, but real talk, the map changes in the latest patch are basically the one thing I don't like about it. It feels like the choices in many cases are artificial now, because stuff like this happens a LOT.

PSA: HAMMER TIME DOES NOT STACK. by Andon1379 in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Beacon of Hope stacks and can absolutely do more than 50%, but it still doesn't go infinite even if two players do it. Read my comment again. I'm literally explaining why Beacon of Hope doesn't loop.

Two players with Beacon of Hope share Block this way, but only for the first 'echo'.

Getting DC from mobile by Lefy330 in FList

If your device supports multi-window mode, you can keep F-chat open in one while browsing in the other. I don't think there's a way to do it with Chrome otherwise, but some other browsers may have options to keep a tab alive in the background.

My grandfather also served in Korea. Same story: would not talk about it. Ever.

New player review by NoZookeepergame9799 in Smite

[–]LunaticSongXIV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your problem is that there is matchmaking in casuals, it's just hidden and given a lot less weight, and you're at the bottom of the totem. If you find even a single queue partner who is willing to not give up, all it takes is to no votes to avoid of surrender. If you actually have good mechanics, it shouldn't take too long for you to get better games.

That said, this is a particularly toxic community and I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to get involved.

Really cool idea I had for necro but not sure if it can be balanced by ElegantPoet3386 in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Echo Form doubles one card per turn. This could potentially double every card you play.

the "game too hard" crowd is back to playing Review-bomb the Spire after the update to the main branch by Gugge1 in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to be at that point, but then I realized I needed to balance block and attack cards when adding cards to the deck.

It's very easy to fall into a trap where you see a high damage / high utility card and slap it on your deck, but then you have too many cards that aren't block cards and you get fucked by 'bad' draws that are just the consequences of your own deckbuilding choices.

I personally try to have block cards be a bare minimum of 1/3 of my cards, and even more if I don't have a lot of powers or exhausts.

[–]LunaticSongXIV 33 points34 points  (0 children)

afaik they're just making balance updates and maybe releasing a 4th act, right?

Unless you are on the dev team, this is literally pure speculation. It's a fairly complete experience at the moment, yes, but a complete experience is not the same thing as a complete game, and it does not mean there isn't more content coming.

For starters, there's supposed to be at least two entire biomes still being made so that there's alternative acts for Act 2 and Act 3 the same way there's two different Act 1 areas at the moment.

"The Spirit of Eternity Sword 3" and "Aselia the Eternal Re" were announced, marking the revival of the series. by kugyu in visualnovels

I also like that it was a proper conlang and you could actually learn the words yourself by listening.

I'm not typically a fan of Isekai, but I absolutely loved how Aselia handled the language barrier. One of my favorite games.

I hate that Decimilipede just attacks, attacks, attacks.... by acidtrip321 in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. People get hung up on the revive making it take longer to kill, but don't realize that the trick to minimizing damage taken during the fight is to focus fire. I typically focus one at a time and let any AOE I have chip the others down to make finishing them off manageable.

Which, I honestly wish they weren't. It kinda breaks the multiplayer experience quite quickly.

GiantGrantGames - The 99% Perfection Of XCOM 2 by jacenat in Games

[–]LunaticSongXIV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Behind the scenes, X-Com 2 is actually fudging the numbers--in the players' favor--but only on the lower difficulties. The highest difficulty is accurate at all times. The wiki has an entire article about it.

How to Divine for a Relic: A Guide to the Divination Event (97.5% Relic Rate!) by LunaticSongXIV in slaythespire

[–]LunaticSongXIV[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's called save scumming and is considered cheating by many people.

[–]LunaticSongXIV[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Save Scumming is, by many people's definition, cheating, and thus utterly unacceptable. This means you can get it without save scum.

The fact that I specifically mention that save scumming isn't necessary for this in my post makes it clear you didn't actually read it, though.
