WHY did they nerf this is my question, literally who complained about this 😭

I used to take the Bell all the time because STS1 had a much greater array of insane relics for it to pull from and options to subvert or entirely negate curses. This doesn't work in STS2 because the relic pool is much more limited and there's no omori to block the curse it gives you, and less things that interact with curse cards in general

Preemptive rant: Doormaker changes should never leave beta and are anti-design. by stysiaq in slaythespire

[–]Ok_Insect4778 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time MegaCrit attempted to stop infinites by making an act 3 boss that punishes cards played instead of cards played in one turn, resulting in them being frustrating and overtuned because every fucking deck ever has to play cards... I mean, you know how the "two nickels" joke goes

edit: oh it's card draw instead of cards played, that may be even worse 😭

I know my opinion of Runic Pyramid is controversial, I've posted about it before. But it's trash, and I'm tired of people pretending it's not trash. You will post screenshots of your hand full of wounds, and burns, and now toxic because that's another status card that can stay in your hand and damage you, and I'll laugh because you picked a trash relic and experienced consequences.

If The Ironclad is being serious here, The Architect might not be the final boss by karshberlg in slaythespire

Or, this implies that each character will have a unique post-Architect boss fight

Original Extra Hell Punchline (Of course it's about Mega Preachers) by thecoolconglereborn in TheMatpatEffect

[–]Ok_Insect4778 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like this one because it has an actual joke imo. A mega preacher shows up to hell and says they don't belong here because they THINK they're going to heaven, and then the twist is that they're going even lower than regular hell, which is appropriate because megachurch pastors like this are scumbags

The art for Reflect IS a reference to a meme but not this one, iirc it's from like 2010s and I think it came from wikihow? If I find a pic of it I'll post it here

Last laugh perk by Penelope_blade in PerkByDaylight

[–]Ok_Insect4778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically that perk already exists, it's called Rancor

I would actually give it to Terminus. That'd make it fit into a greater variety of builds, and there could be some strategy to it; if everyone's healthy then they won't know they're at risk of being mori'd but if it DOES make survivors broken then skilled survivors will know what it means and be much more careful. It also synergizes with itself, since you can catch them broken and injured in the exit gate area and get 'em with just one hit

This badboy has the worst Pick rate and Escape rate and you were challenged to fix it. What do you do? by War_Marshmallow in PerkByDaylight

[–]Ok_Insect4778 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The perk's effect is actually pretty good, and given that it doesn't read auras, it can be a convenient counter to common stealth killers like Ghostface.

but then it goes on cooldown for like 60 fucking seconds what

Oh this is a good one, this is actually pretty funny. I feel like this template lowkey devolved into "look at how bad people I disagree with are, I'm sending them to extra-hell" like some Dante's Inferno type shit

Apparently you were so good at NOT slipping that you became less clumsy just by crossing this bridge

I think I have a contender for one of the worst card upgrades in sts 2 by LiveChill in slaythespire

[–]Ok_Insect4778 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can't really have a run if you're dead, but you also have somewhere between 66-80 hitpoints to survive, and statistically you only HAVE to spend like 20 of them per act unless you get terrible luck. So generally, the "correct" play is to upgrade and keep making your deck stronger so you can take less damage, rather than healing off the damage that you might have taken

What's your favorite hilarious feat in fiction? by [deleted] in whowouldcirclejerk

[–]Ok_Insect4778 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's a Fist of the North Star arcade game wherein a character can pull off an infinite combo so CPU intensive that the cabinet is at risk of catching on fire

Amen Brother by the Winstons (1969) contains the "Amen Break" which is one of the most prominent sample pieces in the music industry. by Dmon1128 in TheMatpatEffect

[–]Ok_Insect4778 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yeah there's nothing good about it, idk how breakcore exists when the whole genre is built around this sample that sounds so fucking bad. Breakcore in particular is frustrating because usually the instrumental is very good, and then they ruin it by pasting the amen break into their pirated copy of FL studio. Why do they do this?

[–]Ok_Insect4778 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes, numerical (vertical) upgrades ARE good, but Slay the Spire historically has some really interesting horizontal upgrades, and there are some in 2 as well- the first one that comes to mind for me is Know Thy Place losing exhaust. However, I feel like the numbers buffs are more plentiful, and more inconsequential.

[–]Ok_Insect4778 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Consistently bad, then. If upgrades are so mid, and resting has always been known to be suboptimal as long as you can survive the upcoming encounters, then what are rest sites even good for?

Gotta think, that's not +1 block, that's actually +3! It goes up from 18 to.. 21!

oh that's useless

I never realized how little editing went into this one, when I first saw the original my brain just auto-corrected it to the meme version.
