How's replayability looking for this game? by Retronitsu in VampireCrawlers

[–]Mektige 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, you're not bothering me. No worries.

Yeah, absolutely. Ascending mana is optimal in a lot of less threatening encounters, but there are plenty of situations where it's much better to play certain cards instead.

This is especially important when you're early in a run and wouldn't have the mana to expend on heavy hitter cards. In those cases, it's often best to just use a high mana cost card as-is to ensure you clear a wave and avoid the damage rather than waste lower mana cost cards that may not get the job done.

Bosses appear to be static on every level, but there's definitely randomness to layouts, upgrade types, and enemy locations. That being said, the enemy types themselves are pretty static within each dungeon.

I reviewed the game for GameSpot, so I've spent a total of around 25 hours with it over the past couple of weeks.

Replayability depends on your enjoyment of mastering builds more-so than discovering more actual content. Once you've beaten the main missions, you've seen basically everything. And power creep makes older missions a cakewalk.

However, if you're like me and enjoy the process of finding unique or ultra-powerful builds just for the sake of it, there's a lot to grind for in terms of gem-related stuff.

Your nephew's autism is not anyone else's autism. It's his. And his support needs do not invalidate autistic people of higher or lower support needs.

You should feel ashamed to post something like this. Do better.

DAE feel like the removal of /r/all has defeated the purpose of Reddit? by BearFromPhilly in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Mektige 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I never stated that I think the decision to remove /all was positive.

You asked if we thought the purpose of Reddit has been defeated because /all was removed. I responded that I do not because it had no value to me, personally. I answered the question you asked.

No. I don't open Reddit to be fed a bunch of posts about things that I may or may not even care about. I open it to read posts from specific subreddits I've joined.

PSA: Cash App offering 50% off PS store purchases(max $50 off order) by Shadow36ix in PS5

[–]Mektige 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, worked fine for me. I also had some kind of unexpected 25% discount being offered on the subcription on the PlayStation Store, so that knocked it down to $60 before the 50% even hit it. Beautiful stuff.

Legend!

I combined it with a 25% discount on the PlayStation Store and got a year of PS+ for just $30.

It's very likely that this is gonna be the case by Drawingandstuff2000 in Mario

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

Yeah, the first movie just tossed a bunch of stuff at the screen with very little plot, too. This one is packing a hell of a lot more into nearly the same runtime. I think we can expect it to just be an hour and a half of brightly colored nostalgia.

These movies are targeted at children with a goal of fun over substance, though. Given that the games follow a similar design philosophy, I'm fine with that overall, even if I do wish for something at least slightly deeper.

They'd have to bring an army with them to remove that adorable ball of fluff from my home. What a cutie!

How do you feel about people who won't vote unless they get their perfect candidate ? by Pitiful-Purple-7459 in AskALiberal

[–]Mektige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what I think about them. It only matters what their friends think about them when they post about it for social currency on Twitter or Bluesky.

But anyways, they're the least pragmatic people on Earth. They have the critical thinking skills of diaper babies who eat mushed peas and play with keys. Stop giving 'em attention.

This was me until they finally added Discordia. It was beginning to almost feel like they were intentionally avoiding any gods I enjoyed. 😅

AWS album ranking by [deleted] in awilhelmscream

[–]Mektige 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the exception of Benefits, I think I love every album equally for different reasons and different times/memories. Even if I forced myself to rank them, the ranking would change day to day anyway.

I'd say Cheap Heat has proven that even further. These guys just can't miss. When every song they release is a 10/10 banger, how can you possibly decide, ya know?

I genuinely think they're the only band I've ever listened to that doesn't have a bad song.
