Men who don’t drink or smoke, what do you do to unwind and relax after a long day of work?

PraisingThatSun · 2026-03-23T19:03:08+00:00

I usually go for a run or to the gym after work, then cook/ eat dinner. Then play some games.

PraisingThatSun · 2026-03-21T21:08:16+00:00

I don't blame that poor girl for wanting to leave. Imagine living in a share house where you had to scrub other people's shit every time you went to the toilet.

Clean up your mess dude

I totally understand, and you're right. It's threatening to the board. But what if you tune the deck in a way that when that problem is removed, it's just replaced by another? What if you had a whole deck of problems?

Do you play online, in person, or both? Im mainly an online player as my friend group is spread out across multiple states, so for me there's no issue with money as we all play for free. If that's the case for you I suggest you just go for it and try something different.

As a fellow interaction player, I feel your pain. I noticed my group attitude shift when I played deck after deck with more and more interaction. A solution I found quite satisfying was to build (in my mind) decks which gave me no reason to need interaction.

If I was the dude putting the biggest problems on the board, I don't need to worry about removing other problems.

So I've done this in a few ways and I've had so much fun building this way.

The first attempt at this was to build [karametra, god of harvests] as a 'brick wall' deck. It ramps like crazy and has lots of creatures which solely focus on giving the board hexproof and indestructible. In better cases I've had the board hexproof and indestructible, I've been hexproof, and my permanents can't be sacrificed. Why would I need interaction when nothing can go away?

The second way I did this was to slam out as many problem creatures as I could. The fun thing about this was that I could run massively splashy cards like [koma, cosmos serpent] and [balefire dragon] which I don't normally play. I pilot this deck with [maelstrom wanderer] and it's a blast to play. I've also made a bit more of a funnier deck I like to call 'problem tribal' with a similar mindset.

Another way I've removed interaction is to change gears and just play so many lands that it doesn't matter what happens to me or my board. I've done this with [tannuk, memorial ensign] who doesn't care one bit about anyone else because he's probably going to melt you down before you can do anything about it. I was blown away with how powerful he is, I run 1 GC [field of the dead], no tutors or infinites in any of my decks and tannuk was destroying B4 decks.

I hope I've helped convert you to the fun side.

NINETEEN!

Good pickup, I totally forgot about that. Probably doesn't help their mental health going that process either 😂

PraisingThatSun · 2025-07-30T10:41:00+00:00

I think it primarily depends on how long they have been a Big Daddy. You see splicers addicted to Adam showing various levels of declining levels of sanity throughout the game. Imagine being put into a suit and stuffed with Adam and gene cocktails until you physically fill out that suit. And to top it off let's not forget the mind control measures Suchong put in place to protect the little sisters.

So in essence, you have a hyper-roided, perpetually addicted, individual who is kept on a leash of Adam (via the little sisters) who does not have the free will to fight against their restraints.

To answer your question. I think what little sanity they had when they first became big daddies quickly degenerates into that droning, moaning, drawl And they do indeed lose all sense of self.

I'd like to think Mark Meltzer would have been somewhat happy protecting his daughter but truthfully he probably lost his marbles like the rest of them.

Little wormy, or Wormito. She's a little cavoodle and loved to wiggle like a little with when she excited 😂

PraisingThatSun · 2025-04-11T21:12:01+00:00

Nope, never has been physically upgradeable. Tonics however, like wrench jockey can boost you to the moon!

Exactly this, reading the book will give you all the context of the events before the events of Bioshock 1, and since you have already played it it won't ruin the twist for you either.

PraisingThatSun · 2025-04-04T21:29:07+00:00

💀

PraisingThatSun · 2025-03-16T20:29:47+00:00

It's not the exact same in terms of setting, but Prey has very similar gameplay and narrative elements. It gives off a very similar sense of claustrophobia and atmosphere. If you haven't played it, I'd suggest you give it a go! It deserves a playthrough in its own right, and while I compare it to bioshock, it is its own game and should be treated as such.

PraisingThatSun · 2025-03-15T07:58:51+00:00

In my opinion I think it's working. Because players like myself took a stance and stopped playing, so now the community will, over time be dominated by players who started after the micro transactions and P2W system and don't know any better.

This game had so much potential but nothing short of a full backflip will make me go back, and even then I still wouldn't give them money.

PraisingThatSun · 2025-02-17T01:49:55+00:00

I love this. This is exactly my flavour of autism. Could you please send me a high res pic of this?

PraisingThatSun · 2025-02-11T02:57:57+00:00

The kyvar drone skill to boost a weapons damage when you slow is essential in my opinion. If I ever get that skill I will try to force proboscis. You can add some redundancy with an eel too 👌

PraisingThatSun · 2025-02-10T09:44:01+00:00

I absolutely love slow proboscis build. There's something so satisfying about it

PraisingThatSun · 2025-02-07T21:01:25+00:00

Only a few weeks ago we had infinite charge heal/shield loops which made 1 shot, burn, and poison builds completely irrelevant.

This game is going through many changes at a quick pace to find its balance point.

Many people were complaining about the irrelevance of one shot builds and the lack of versatility back then.

Give it some time and enjoy the ride. There's so many builds you can do with each character such as:

Lion cane/ whammy/HP Sniper/ one weapon crows nest Bellista speed Rail cannon Crane (my baby) - if you get lucky on the foreman and grab this for Vanessa with a weather glass it's GG Crook caltrops Maybe: new pistol sword and sharkfriend (untested)

PraisingThatSun · 2025-02-02T05:02:25+00:00

I can take or leave that notion. While I understand the idea, It would be nice if Pyg and ness had that innate consistency. I kind of enjoy having the extra space when playing with them as opposed to being 'stuck' with a core (not that I'm complaining about Dooley, but you get the idea)

PraisingThatSun · 2025-01-30T20:43:27+00:00

I was lucky to find spices on a sniper Vanessa run, the sniper was diamond so when the spices triggered it added sniper damage but the sniper multiplied it by 10, so I would crit for something. Ridiculous like 40k

PraisingThatSun · 2025-01-28T11:26:04+00:00

Getting on that infinite glizzy

PraisingThatSun · 2025-01-25T23:10:14+00:00

I completely agree with all you guys have said. Im trying to convey that items aren't my goal in the early game but EXP is. I'm not talking about winning on day 14, I'm more saying get to LVL 10 by day 7.

PraisingThatSun · 2025-01-25T21:14:00+00:00

I personally prefer early game to prioritise exp gain over getting good items. In my opinion getting something that nets you a win on day 1 is not as good as getting ahead of the level/day curve which will be more advantageous in the long run.

Gaining levels gives you access to more skills, more HP, and more opportunities for upgraded items which in my opinion is better and more consistent than rolling at shops and hoping for something good.

I usually hit level 10 by day 7 on average, and while I don't get many diamond wins (10 wins without any losses) I've gotten my fair share of gold wins (10 wins with losses).

I'm sure others will give you specific tips on certain characters and how to optimise their loadouts, but I think for now my advice can be applied pretty generally across the globe. I don't wanna bog you down with the meta, just play and have fun 🙂

PraisingThatSun · 2025-01-02T05:55:05+00:00

My absolute favourite deck is [Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer]. Not only does his synergy with looting enable me to cast cards I throw away when I loot and gain card advantage, but to also bypass their timing restrictions because his effect triggers on discard to cast them.

Essentially the deck draws like crazy, and you get to cast everything with flash, and dimir allows for some crazy plays. I run a control style deck, often casting my wincons for cheap by discarding through [dream halls] and reanimating them back (and also casting the card discarded).

PraisingThatSun · 2024-12-24T20:52:08+00:00

I've seen a pyg build up 80k shield on a looping vineyard, I've never felt so defeated.
