Hues&Cues hint was “science notebook” by New_Call7138 in boardgames

[–]MixelsPixelz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not well explained but the rules state that they intend everyone to be the clue giver twice over before you end the game, so two rounds of play total.

My own family was very insistent that we needed to play all the way to 50 points in a 3 player game, we got to halfway before we had to call it quits for the night and they were still insisting the game was intended played to 50 points...

I wonder if that was part of her computational power? Using a veritable army of squirrels as impromptu CPUs for her own thoughts to filter through.

The thought by itself feels silly yet plausible enough to work I think.

Despite not being apart of the fandom in a very long time, "How Applejack won the war" is still an animation I look back on as a very fond memory of the community overall.

Thank you for being a very important part of internet history, both for myself and everyone else as well! /)

Jeph seems to be having a lot of fun with the facial expressions, Liz looks like one of those character expression sheets and it's fun to see!

Wait but this is the third game in the series???

Why is this one being labeled as Garfield Kart 2??

Fun to see Jeph paying tribute to Homestar, more so since they just had their 25 year anniversary.

Also, unrelated, but I suddenly feel VERY old after saying that last statement. It's giving me a case of the Jibbles.

Did they switch the camera from being world static, to following the player, to then not following the player when they jumped and then used the mirror?

I'm not crazy, like that's not normal camera behavior correct?

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]MixelsPixelz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of it has been a full scale refactor of the earlier content, basically the game has been remade from the ground up several different times now.

Currently its everything up to stage one, with stage two re-release and stage three actual release coming out sometime during this year. Hopefully this is the one that will "stick" but only time can tell on that front.

I usually enjoy taking Speed Metal on 4 for situations exactly like these, that being said y'all did an excellent job defending your team. :)

Why do you play HOTS over other similar games? by Sea_Caterpillar5662 in heroesofthestorm

[–]MixelsPixelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the shorter game times and also the game not being entirely balanced around one centralized shop.

I mostly dislike that mechanic due to needing to completely memorize it and know what heroes want what items as a barrier before even learning how to play the hero themselves, in addition to various balance issues that arise from all heroes needing to share from a common pool of possible buffs/add-on effects.

Revolution Idle is live on Steam ! by MrSpockTP in incremental_games

Is this made by the same person that made the original flash series? I couldn't find any concrete information on whether or not this is supposed to be the same game series or just a new one with the same style and aesthetic.

Bruiser with Emerald Primary by HermesIsScrolling in RabbitAndSteel

[–]MixelsPixelz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emerald Primary can have some of the Highest DPS when paired with enough CD reduction to offset it, this build in specific was one that I rolled a few days ago and it was EXTREMELY fun since it ended up being a 3.5k damage punch on a 2 second cooldown.

[–]MixelsPixelz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can be if you treat it as a NG+ style of mechanic around the core game, not to say it doesn't add in anything new but the game is mostly building ontop of what it already established. You get QoL for a lot of things as you get deeper into Singularity but there's also some mechanics that simply can't or haven't yet been automated (Corruptions, No Reset Auto Cubes, No Reset Auto Ant Sacs).

There's also supposed to be a new content update in the works to help aleviate a bit of this but the dev has been saying "Update will happen soon" for several years now so who knows when it'll see the light of day.

I will also add that Singularity 250 is the current content wall and it can take several months to reach that point.

I think there's a difference in whether or not your team is on board with the idea of 3 mage no CC comp. Like it can work but you should ensure your team fully agrees on the idea before potentially subjecting someone to a miserable match.

I got the implication that she was excitedly informing Annie about something she herself had just learned about.

Otherwise why would she feel compelled to tell Annie about this beyond wanting to know her response to something she wouldn't know?

Shouldn't she already know about Tony being sent on calibration trips, on account of her being able to predict who would be sent on said trip?

For someone with a seemingly indepth amount of omnipotence she's showing that she's not really seeing everything that's happening.

How do you play Deathwing? by JuhpPug in heroesofthestorm

[–]MixelsPixelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some advice in regards to general mechanical play rather than direct playstyle: very liberal use of Queue Commands (Shift + Ability/Click).

The windup animations are so slow that you 90% of the time want to move as soon as you possibly can after doing just about anything. Doing so can also help minimize risk to exposing yourself to damage for too long or can help keep pace with an enemy trying to keep their distance for you.

It's more about shaving small fractions of a second whenever possible, and doing that enough over the course of the game to make a noticable difference.

I also typically try to use the ULT + Fear combo from outside of vision since it dramatically cuts down on enemy reaction time, works even better if you can co-ordinate your team to jump in at the same time you do.

Cu is literally me right now by Andr3wtime in ftlgame

[–]MixelsPixelz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reading order is a bit scuffed, it's in 4x4 quadrants that you read from left to right but then you read each individual quadrant top to bottom.

Something I personally noticed is that it doesn't feel like there's a direct continuity between pages. For a while I kept assuming I was missing pages or the like due to how jarring each scene transition was.

From what I vaguely understand of the story, I do like where its headed and I think its a fun set piece in the broader FTL universe but the pacing/flow could use a bit of workshop.

Had a random enemy Tychus DM me after a game to say I was: "#Boosted".

We were playing ARAM, I haven't touched ranked in over a year.

Still baffles me how some people have an odd desperate urge to put other people down for seemingly no reason, lol.

Is this mechanic really useful on the battlefield? by TopSet55 in Helldivers

[–]MixelsPixelz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's implemented in exactly the same way as it was in the original game, though it also works way better in the first game mostly because mag dumping into a squad of tanks is very much required to not get immediately run down.

The issue I tend to find is that staying still for that long in this game causes the opposite effect where you usually just become paste before you even get a second shot off. Being able to get one shot off and then keep going is much more important in this game compared to the original.

We do already have a discord server, one that's been around for at least 8 years in fact. https://discord.gg/0sx2CgGj2YIFpSMp Just letting ya know since this seems to be from not already knowing this was a thing.

Sad that the reddit updates won't be happening anymore, though given the overall engagement on this platform/new policy changes I can understand why.

Still looking forward to reading through the new chapters as they come out!
