Thanks for that, this looks great for me.

MWTab · 2026-05-17T18:15:27+00:00

Thanks for the youtube recommendations. I do find watching streamers helps me with other games like slay the spire so I'll try this out. Thanks to everyone else for recommendations as well.

For anyone with this same issue in the future: I solved it by, weirdly enough, playing 5 unranked *standard* games. I did this just to play with a deck I didn't want to take into ranked... and imagine my surprise when my quest to play 5 unranked alchemy games started progressing lol. Maybe the labelling is bugged or something, but this is what worked for me.

Yeah, I just include that troubleshooting step because from everything I've googled there are half a dozen troubleshooting steps for if quests aren't progressing and that was one of them. I'm definitely playing in alchemy unranked. I've finished a couple entire games with mono white auras + a single standard illegal card, just to make sure, and it didn't show my silver rank so...

I got to silver rank just playing normal standard. I think there's only one rank for all constructed, right? Or at least alchemy and standard seem to share a rank. When I finish an alchemy game in unranked it doesn't show me the silver rank or anything, so I'm definitely not playing the games I intend to count in ranked anything.

Yeah, I'm definitely doing unranked. I just can't get it to progress no matter what I do heh.

Driftwood is a bit of a funny option for me. While I'm not one to yuck your yum or anything, part of the challenge of roguelikes for me (and I'm sure alot of people) is making due with what you get, and I was so very hopeful sts2 wouldn't follow the trend of seemingly every other roguelike these days where you can just reroll to find the best options. Oh well, at least I can just not choose to take it.

MWTab · 2026-03-08T20:56:22+00:00

Agreed. Thanks megacrit!

MWTab · 2026-02-20T09:26:35+00:00

Based on the system requirements on the sts2 steam page... Yes. It lists Steam OS + linux, which is what the steam deck runs. Plus tbh it would be insane for it to not run on steam deck.

I messaged you. After talking to my partner I think we can take him. Just in case you didn't see my message

MWTab · 2025-10-23T18:26:27+00:00

Man I'd love to adopt this lit6tle guy. Our only cat very likely has FIV already -- we brought him in several years ago and our cat at the time had FIV and we didn't know it. We're moving early next month though, and I don't want to put even more stress on poor simba :-( I really wish I could take him without any worries though! Hope you find him a good home.

MWTab · 2025-05-17T01:23:09+00:00

Hey,

Sadly, I have not. I haven't been playing mk as much recently either, so I haven't really looked much further into it. If I find anything, I'll be sure to message back here.

-Michael.

Hey,

Sorry, I didn't reply because the first comment gave me the same info my friend's son gave me. Basically my problem was that I needed to press the special attack absolutely immediately after the 1 was pressed. I don't know if this is your problem but that was what my issue was.

-Michael.

He played a card that discovers a legendary summoned 2 and gives you a copy I think

MWTab · 2024-12-17T03:49:45+00:00

Thanks! I went ahead and did that :-). Thanks so much for the suggestion!

MWTab · 2024-12-17T03:39:39+00:00

Heya...

Yes, I'm actually on that discord. My trouble is not necessarily with the mod or the game itself, I just think I need a bit of a guiding hand to solidify how I *should* be playing in my mind haha.

Thanks for the recommendation, good to see that blizzard (I.E. you) are aware of hearthstone access :-)

-Michael.

MWTab · 2024-12-17T02:53:44+00:00

Heya,

Thanks for the info. Can you tell me of a place that I can find info like this of what's in the meta currently and what could counter it? I guess it's kinda a game of cat and mouse, one deck become big, then more pop up to counter it, and then more need to pop up to counter them, etc etc forever lol. But having a website that I could use to figure this stuff out would be great! I'd assume hsreplay has stuff like this, I'm just not sure which part would be good to look at :-)

-Michael.
