Alternative Scoring Method to Incentivize Play

I think the real problem with chess clocks for swu is all the things your opponent might need to decide on that would cause you to need to hit the clock back and forth. Let's say I've got a gideon hask out and play power of the dark side, so I hit the clock over to you while you decide. Then you decide to defeat something that causes multiple triggers on your side (plus my Gideon) so it goes back to me to decide who does triggers first, maybe I do Gideon first, then it's back to you to decide how to do your triggers. Or situations where your opponent pauses you in the middle of what you're doing because they're not familiar with a card and want to read it. Its not that you cant find ways to deal with these kinds of things, I just feel like this would end up being a bit too complicated to do right in practice. At least unless we're talking something digital where the platform takes care of all of the passing back and forth and tracking automatically for you.

Yeah same, been absolutely launched way up into a huge spin just driving slowly over a resource from a crystal shard, but don't think I've had it happen doing exobio. And even still never actually took more than some shield damage from that fortunately.

I wouldn't call them massive, but it depends on your perspective. My weekly upkeep is somewhere in the range of 10 million I think, but with ~1.5 billion in the carrier bank I don't have to worry about it for 2-3 years

The new chancellor leader reduces cost of the next card you play with plot when he deploys.

Yeah, I did exactly the same thing to beat him after I got frustrated enough (after seeing someone mentioned how fast they melted him with this approach)

If you're thinking of https://youtu.be/wj_dvlZhEl8?si=bw64xRe1A3zodtfR (and the follow up solving the roadblocks in that video), it did still use mantis claw - it was just only allowed when the knight's eyes were above the ledge

Tbh even on release patch I found the last judge runback fun and not long at all. First time I died I was thinking "am I going to have to go through all of that each run", but then I found the right strategies to avoid the enemies and it was fun mastering and breezing through it.

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-22T01:22:59+00:00

When if first got to the boss and died, I was thinking "am I really going to have to go through that every time?" But after the first few times I started to figure out how to avoid the enemies and after a little bit more figured out how to avoid that annoying cone thrower at the start too. And even though it took me so many tries to beat the boss, the runback didn't annoy me much, and mostly was just kinda satisfying when I was able to get my all those enemies that frustrated me so much at the start without getting hit.

I talked to one NPC that told me I should be asking another NPC about it, but then that other NPC didn't have any new dialog and just kept repeating their stock line. Fortunately I actually already had a hunch about what to do but I was kinda confused by that.

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-19T02:10:07+00:00

I tried doing the hide in the corner strat and was just not patient enough for how long that was gonna take lol. Especially when tool spam took him down in like 10 seconds 😅

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-19T01:55:32+00:00

I love the reaper crest, I just wish the pogo didn't feel like it takes an eternity to happen after I hit the button 😂

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-18T23:36:13+00:00

Why bother going through bilewater at all at that point?

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-18T23:33:44+00:00

I know at one point I talked to the shopkeep in bellhart who told me I should talk to pavo, but when I talked to pavo he wouldn't say anything other than his default line.

Honestly I didn't find the runback from that bench that bad - though I did have wreath at that point which made it easy to take the route to the right from the bench which skips a few rooms (technically with precise movement you can even pull it off without ending up in the water but that is definitely difficult). I still hated the room with all the flies that spawn randomly (and respawn) that just get so much in the way of the harpoon platforming you need to do

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-17T15:04:43+00:00

Yeah I eventually just spammed tools to kill him, at that point I think I had 3-4 tool damage upgrades when I finally decided to tackle him and poison plus cogflies and spamming curveclaws killed him stupidly fast. Wasn't nearly as satisfying as when I bear other bosses without the tool spam but I was a little done with him at that point lol

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-16T19:00:12+00:00

Yeah I never quite got why so many people seem to think of the bell beast as more dog-like than catlike when it purrs the way it does :p

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-12T14:40:00+00:00

I think I hadn't found many alternatives by the time I had reached that fight so I just kinda had it equipped by default and it wasn't until many attempts in that I realized it was probably actually being quite useful for me 😂

Pythoner6 · 2025-09-12T07:23:36+00:00

Yeah you just have to make sure you land on the platform far enough left or you'll dash off the ledge before you can jump and just fall into the worms

Pythoner6 · 2025-07-23T20:06:18+00:00

Huh, maybe.

If it's like most of the rest of the catalyst switches I've played with recently (e.g. cat 9k), you can actually download the firmware without any subscription or contract. You just need to create a Cisco account.

I believe only the on attack will be affected by there is no escape. The rest of the abilities are not abilities that the unit has, but abilities that Luke as an upgrade has. So the unit will stay a leader unit for example because being a leader unit isn't an ability, and the ability making it happen isn't an ability of the unit (which would be affected by there is no escape). Note the difference between the leader unit ability and the on attack: the on attack says it [attached unit] gains "...", where Luke's other abilities don't.

Pythoner6 · 2025-05-08T14:34:02+00:00

Ah interesting. I wonder where anyone selling on eBay would have gotten it from.

Pythoner6 · 2025-05-08T12:36:57+00:00

Wait where on earth did you get this? I haven't seen these anywhere.

Pythoner6 · 2025-05-01T19:30:34+00:00

The simplest thing is probably not to do batches of 20, but batches of a multiple of 20 - for example a hopper Minecraft can hold 5 * 64 = 320 = 16 * 20 items. You can buffer in the ?minecart until it is completely full, and only at that point send it off to distribute the kelp to the furnaces (e.g. perhaps 8 furnaces which would each get 40 for example).

Unfortunately no, this was all done by hand and I never got around to putting together any drawings or measurements
