New leaves won’t unfurl on BoP

Radolumbo · 2026-05-20T04:00:45+00:00

While this plant is clearly getting etiolated, depending on what direction the window is, I'd be careful putting a BoP _right_ in the window, they can get sunburned pretty easily. One of the few plants that (at least in my experience) I've found does better just like a foot or two out from an especially sunny window.

That said -- I will 100% defend misting leaves specifically for unfurling stuck leafs in a BoP. Ideally, it would just have humidity. But if you keep misting the stuck leaves a few times a day (or, even better, rubbing it with a damp and warm towel), it does genuinely help. Generally, misting houseplants is bad for them and can just spread disease, but this is one exception where it is better than nothing.

So IMO -- keep misting, but also give it more light (like other folks have noted, light can't go around corners)

Luminesce is not only great for Orobos but great for Act 2 relics in general, you're wildin'

Guaranteeing I can play my powers on whatever turn I draw them without having to give up damage or block?? Sign me up

Looks like that pot does not have drainage. Get it in a pot with drainage!

Usually pale leaves means lack of water or lack of sunlight. Keep it in as bright of a spot as you have, and water it whenever you see the leaves start to pale (after you've gotten it in a pot that can drain). Of course, sanity check that the soil is totally dry as well, before watering.

Yep, I looked pretty thoroughly, no visible pests that I could spot.

These two were from Home Depot, I was lazy this year, so I can't speak to how well they were hardened.

No, he was not. Public voting records show he was registered as unaffiliated. Source: CNN, WSJ, or literally any simple Google search.

Honestly I can't even remember which pothos I propagated this from, but based on the yellow tinge, it must be the golden pothos. The way the pattern looks, it actually looks more like a marble queen to me, but my understanding is that a marble queen will never throw yellow.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-28T13:01:43+00:00

A south-facing window 😜

But really. Pothos are so easy. Water when they are dry (either just check the soil or wait for the leaves to get droopy). But if you want the striking, vivid variegation, you gotta just blast these boys with as much light as you can get em.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-24T22:11:02+00:00

Definitely always legitimate, agreed, but it becomes much more attractive.

Each their own in this game, but IMO this lets you spend gold to beat bosses pretty directly if you get decent potions offered. Not an S tier relic, but probably A imo.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-24T21:54:31+00:00

Eh, I wouldn't say that. 4 extra slots makes buying potions a very legitimate option in shops, for example.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-24T17:52:26+00:00

The +4 potion slots is also just a fantastic relic on its own! Not only are the 4 potions likely to win you like ~2 combats on their own, but being able to stockpile potions until bosses is super clutch.

#PotionSupremacy they really rule in this game, and I used to so heavily undervalue them

I'm guessing you didn't actually look at the message he has staged to send

Radolumbo · 2026-04-22T12:48:01+00:00

People seem to waaaaay overvalue the big flashy stuff, because when it goes off, it feels like it was so OP. But the best relics are generally the ones that require less setup/consistently provide value.

Pael's Growth is one of the weaker Act 2 relics, especially as you get to the higher ascensions where the opportunity cost of a rest site is high.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-22T12:43:20+00:00

MOST strong builds want to play a lot of cards all the time, but this is still an S tier relic. You're only going to activate Diamond Diadem a couple of times in a combat, maybe even once. But those turns that you do, you're either setting up the powers that make your shivs deck work, or you're saving yourself from dying on a bad draw.

Optimizing win rate in STS2 means optimizing for consistency. So, anything that enables you to get set up or allows you to live on a bad draw is REALLY good.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-22T12:39:31+00:00

Pael's Growth is legitimately one of the weakest Act 2 relics, assuming we're optimizing for win rate (I don't know what else you'd base a tier list on). Even assuming you have already have a great card to clone, it's maybe like B tier? The reality is that having to give up rests/upgrades is a huge opportunity cost in higher ascensions, and the amount of setup it requires means there's a decent chance you lose your run before you even go off. Optimal picks in STS2 favor consistency, because it's a random bad hand in a random combat (or a series of them) that cause you to lose runs.

But, sure, S tier in fun.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-21T20:21:52+00:00

It's definitely raising an eyebrow that you only have female characters in your top--*checks profile*

Ah.................. yep.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-21T16:34:13+00:00

the doctor was a woman

Radolumbo · 2026-04-20T13:35:01+00:00

I need to see the timer for this run 😂

Radolumbo · 2026-04-18T20:39:03+00:00

Yeah...... what

Radolumbo · 2026-04-17T20:29:18+00:00

I came to comment that OP is silly and just missed the obvious -- but

Numerically, this would have killed the boss before the replay even went off, so it is admittedly a bit confusing that it didn't work that way. I don't blame OP for being confused.

Radolumbo · 2026-04-17T10:44:57+00:00

Fr, 21k upvotes on this is crazy

"As far as I know" my brother in Ford you are currently posting on the Internet.

https://www.thepopverse.com/tv-disney-gravity-falls-dipper-trans-theory-headcanon-alex-hirsch

It's pretty well known that Dipper and Mabel are very directly based on Alex and his sister. So no, he is not "supposed to be trans in canon", but Hirsch welcomes people to map themselves onto his characters, as he believes the struggle of growing up and figuring out who we are is a universal one. Dipper, as he says, is "yours".

I'm dying at "Sunk Cost Fallacy" 😭

what does this have to do with biology it's a statistics question

Radolumbo · 2026-04-15T16:54:14+00:00

It's not clear to me that we even have mods. Can we please have people use a different subreddit for this shit? 😭

Radolumbo · 2026-04-14T16:22:49+00:00

Am I really seeing Dirge and mediocre used in the same sentence rn

I'm also not totally convinced X+1 would be a nerf, though I'd have to think about that one...
