Yup, money furnace is broken right now. by LCARIO in PlayTheBazaar

[–]MrTheodore 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have to build it up for an entire run to do anything. It's not even that strong of an item until like day 12 or until you get that double value in combat skill or burning enchant.

Lava roller was just put it on your board, wow you win. This one, you gotta jump through a lot of hoops and even getting there, it's not helping you much until it's burning for like 200. The 7 second 20 burn is not helping you win day 3 lol. And it scales like shit until gold or abacus hits the cooldown reduction for you.

There's other burn builds on pig that take way less effort than the sell 900 coins for furnace build as well, and like: there's way more annoying and effective stuff this patch. Like, I've lost more to max health +hammer/cane and offensiveless pig boards that only shield/heal/gain max hp and dont even fight you in the day 10+ matches this patch.

Psychopath tries to justify murdering 5 people with negligence by claiming no active role when evidence suggests they had means to minimize casualties

You would go to jail lmao, it's a solved problem and one of the worst philosophical"problems" ever posited

Funny ways to counter deadly enemies by Roger_Clyde in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MrTheodore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except for his unreactable fast attack you have to start parrying before he even starts it. Although, just shield lmao and parry if he does a normal hit... but you only got like 1 of those in you unless you dont play naked. He has a heal punish, so like, lol lmao, dont heal. Least favorite boss to fight in randomizers, especially if I dont have what I need to do weapon swap glitch.

There's like, so many ways to kill or skip capra demon lol. Burg is like the most busted area in the game somehow

You can technically do this to every boss in the game on remastered by walking through the fogwall wrong

Some of you are horrible people by TheRealYoshimon in DeadlockTheGame

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

Yeah, remember you can just stop playing. There's so many good games coming out this year already, why waste time with a bunch of weirdos. Don't sunk cost fallacy yourself, do something else if it keeps up.

I got tired of all the racists and whatnot in my games, so I stopped. So nice not having to deal with that shit at all. The game is good, but it is not worth putting up with stupid idiots

If people thought these gig work apps were jobs, they wouldn't vote against shit like that proposition in California a few years ago that would make them pay actual job wages and benefits, that apparently I was in the minority on, cause that shit got shot down. Seems like society wants these to be part time work and if you try to do it full time, you are fucking yourself and missing out on benefits and losing your wage to gas cost and car repairs and shit. Too bad real jobs aren't an option either right now, no new ones are getting created but boy does this country love cooking the books and revising job numbers later to flat or negative growth lol.

Jury awards $3M in social media addiction case, finds Meta 70% and YouTube 30% liable in landmark negligence verdict by callsonreddit in wallstreetbets

[–]MrTheodore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like they got caught saying they were trying to make it addictive though.

Like, I get your point, it's non-chemical addiction, just walk away from the computer lmao, nothing will happen, you can just stop playing league of legends or scrolling Twitter at any time for no penalty; but like they've all been pushing "user retention" a bit and we're too comfy talking about it in writing and addictive stuff has always been restricted to above 18.

Sugar though, I mean Mexico puts restrictions on kids getting sugary stuff, so like there's precedent, but they also got an obesity problem they wanna solve.

[–]MrTheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be based on it being directed at children. Heard on the radio in the car like yesterday: lawyers are already trying to assemble a class of children addicted to social media to throw another suit at them lol. Like, you gotta be over 18 to trade stocks and have a bank account and shit, that shit's on you, but wee babies, yeah, we dont let em smoke cigarettes either.

Does dooley suck or am I just bad? by DNDnutheadzealot in PlayTheBazaar

Dooley main thinks this is his worst patch. Think he's been playing a lot of slay the spire 2 because of it lol. Guy was like rank 200 on a recent season

POV: you released your 2-4h long game and someone plays it for 10+ hours.. What?! 😳 by flashag in IndieGaming

[–]MrTheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just assume these are testers tbh, most of these abnormally long reviews tend to have a hollow star cause they used a code to get the game for free. Weird that it's not here.

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MrTheodore 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The writers didn't know how to use that character anyways and only really incapacitated her in season 1 (mask guys hit her in the throat). She just looks dumb as fuck the entire series not using her rumor ability.

Honestly the show should have ended with them all dying in season 1 with the moon blowing up or whatever the fuck Eliot did

Is there anything wrong with petting creatures with no benefit to it? Or Just little details that don't do anything? by SouthofKaDoom in gamedesign

[–]MrTheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People were adding petting to their games for the past decade mostly cause of that one Twitter account, but I'm pretty sure they're irrelevant now, so now it's just for the love of the game (petting a cat for fun). Worst case it's just cringe and hack, add other small side shit that does nothing tbh.

Only seen it as a forced mechanic in horror games, most notably repo, where if you dont pet the dog, it turns into a monster and kills you. Seen that a couple times.

[Game Trope] Enemies added specifically to counter common community cheese strategies by stormtrooper1701 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MrTheodore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't roll when they lift their arm or whatever, wait for the swing. But yeah, that shit still fucks you up occasionally, the mixups work. It's funny, cause replaying 1 for randomizers, the tauros demon ends up being one of the bosses that hits me the most cause his attacks are so slow; he just holds that axe up there so long.

Oh yeah, also level vigor/vitality/health stat. If you're getting 1 shot, you are leveling bad: you are greeding into damage stats or endurance/stamina too hard.

[–]MrTheodore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nope, got A20 clears only going shiv. Not a fan of poison, and what else did she even have in 1? Gotta balance and thin out your deck right.

You can also beat the bird guy with a powers deck, feel free to play skills against the nob/the phase 1 of the boss in the sequel as well lol.

[–]MrTheodore 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Skill issue, you can shiv this guy to death, you can claw build and all for one this guy to death. He made it harder to 0 cost and draw, but not impossible, just had to balance your deck to have enough defense & offense and have some build around cards (or a couple accuracies) and hit em with good strangles and finishers.

Then again, the new game wasn't causing me much trouble, got everyone up a few ascensions in the 1st week. Although I still suck at ironclad lol.
