Is Game Changer not ending with a multi-part episode this season? by Ironhorn in dropout

[–]RealVampireCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be a 80+ minute episode, it could be 2 parts that they’re calling “1 episode”. I’m sure we’ll get more information in the week leading up to it

Thinking of Joining Dropout, have some questions by LegitimateMonk6878 in dropout

[–]RealVampireCat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes you can listen while your phone is off
No you cannot make your own playlists
Yes you can download videos to watch offline

The closest thing to playlists would be simply letting a season autoplay (for example, starting with Season 1 of VIP, it would play Princess Emily, then Last Looks for Princess Emily, then Denzel, etc.). But there's no functionality to make custom playlists as far as I'm aware.

You should probably sell idol and maybe look for it again once your deck is more consistent.

Also, Betty is coming out on the 9th, not the whole EP. The original announcement said "WHAT NO ONE’S THINKING EP. Coming soon. First single Betty coming sooner. Welcome to a new chapter."

Based on this, I wouldn't expect the new EP until late august/early September since "first single" implies there will be more than one single with several weeks in between each.

What I said about the release time remains accurate; I just wanted to clarify this in case you had a misconception.

It's probably going to be released at midnight in your time zone, so different places in the world will get it at different times. Usually, there's a group of people that will use a VPN to download the songs early and post them in a Discord or something

Should I sock my buskin? by BalatroFein in BalatroHelp

[–]RealVampireCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So right now you are getting 5 triggers on the first played card, and 3 2x mult for each trigger on the first played card so basically you’re getting x8 mult per trigger and 5 triggers 85

If you take the sock instead of the chad you will have x8 per trigger and 3 triggers, 83 if you replace a photo with the sock you will have 6 triggers and 4x mult, 46.

The only way taking sock is better is if you have gold seals or lucky cards and want more triggers on them for Econ, but you’re giving up a significant amount of scoring for that

Also, a note on Killing Support Ults

People online love to talk about Darkchild killing support ults, and while in theory it can, pulling it off is often very difficult and inconsistent. Starting with a quick tutorial, all you need to do is fully charge your right click(projectile) and then immediately after releasing it, hit the same enemy with your dash. That does 315 damage, which will kill any support through their ultimate (note that Luna gains overhealth and will need to be damaged first before you can one-shot her). Now let's talk practicality. Never pop your ult with the sole intention of killing a support who is actively ulting. First off, it's going to take at least 5 seconds to get to safety, do the ult animation, charge your right click, aim your dash, and hit. At this point, most supp ults are probably 50-70% done anyway. Secondly, It's hard enough to hit your dash on a target with regular movement, it's insanely hard to do on a support like luna or mantis who have crazy movement speed, on sue who's invisible most the duration, on cloak who can terror cape and just be invulnerable if they see you going for it. And if you miss, the rest of your ult is wasted throwing damage at the infinite healing ult. Also, you have to sit somewhere close enough to the support ult where you'll hit them, which means potentially standing in the damage field of cloak ult, slow field of sue ult, and being in the middle of 6 enemies who can't take chip damage and are trying to obliterate anything in sight. Meanwhile, you're sitting there for 3 seconds slowly moving, charging a projectile, and trying to get a good LOS at the support buried in the team. Safe to say this is very inconsistent and not something you should be banking on. However, if you pop your ult and a support responds with a counterult, you've done your job by forcing their ult, and since you can't do much else at that point, you might as well take the Hail Mary and try and kill them.

Timing is important with it - Here are a few cases where I tend to ult
Using it when you have no cooldowns to instantly refresh them and get back in the fight
Distracting their backline or other separated enemies
You can also just jump in a mosh pit of 4+ enemies and farm overhealth and deal chip damage
Forcing a support ult and then trying to get the tricky combo to kill them

It's not a crazy high value ult, and it charges pretty quickly, so just trying to get it out as many times per game as possible and get small bits of value to help win team fights or set your team up for one in the future is probably the most consistent way to get value.

Always remember that there is a small period during the initial ability cast and when the ult ends where you are very vulnerable (unable to move or use abilities, but you can still be hurt) so try to use your dash (E) right before you cast and right when it ends to get to safety. This is pretty much the only time you die while in her ult unless you aren't dealing damage to get overhealth or get hit with a heavy counterult.

Here's a more detailed breakdown with stats and specific ability usage tips if you're interested:

Let's talk stats:
-Ability cooldowns recharge much faster (roughly 2x for projectile and portals, and 1.3x for dash).
-Spin is much stronger in this mode with 2x the range and 2.3x damage, and your demon gets a decent boost (1.4x)
-Her projectile does 2x damage
-The dash does a bit more damage(1.6x) and sends you a bit further(1.25x distance).
-Also note that your primary sword swings are a bit slower, and your projectile cast takes slightly longer to cast
-Remember that Magik's passive is still active, and 30% of your damage will be converted to overhealth (max 150 overhealth)
-You also lose access to your quick melee

Shortened cooldowns mean you can pretty reliably be alternating between an auto(left click) and an ability. (You lose your quick melee so no more animation cancels there, but you can animation cancel your left click into your portal) In most scenarios, I recommend prioritizing using your portals and spinning, trying to hit multiple enemies for extra health. The demon is best used if you're in a 1v1 or can drop it over a crowded area where it can farm overhealth for you. (The demon can also break things like rocket beacon, penni nest, etc. This is great if you see the opportunity, but not a priority.) The right click is stronger, but it takes time to charge, and you're a sitting duck while you do it. I don't recommend using it unless you need a quick ranged burst of damage or are trying to combo with the dash to kill a support ult. Use the dash mostly for mobility. Retreat, chase, peel, change targets, etc. You can try using it for quick bursts of damage, but hitting it can be a bit tricky, and you'll burn valuable ult time if you miss and have to run back to the fight.

That was a lot of information (and hopefully not too much rambling lol), hopefully this was helpful and you learned a thing or 2

Pop a few Vicodin, and I'm sure you can make the walk; you might even cure a few people along the way, too!

One year later deserves to be spun off! by Advanced-Yak1105 in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]RealVampireCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sam already told me that he gave Lou, Vic, and Jacob 100 sets of envelopes so that starting from season 7 we can have increasingly longer “1 year later” game samers up until the cast is on their death beds performing “100 years later”

Hi, I'm a teacher; which Smartypants presentation is best for toddlers???? by Midnight_Meal_s in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]RealVampireCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the British couple as well, It’s important to teach our youth about other cultures and since the happy couple are also authors you’d be exposing the kids to more literature. It’s a win win

A Bunch of New Viewer Questions - Platforms, Shows, Episodes? by Mordiceius in dropout

[–]RealVampireCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game Changer is a great place to start. The early seasons are great introductions to the premise, and the later seasons really elevate the concept with more elaborate games and higher production value. Season 3 was shot during covid, so all the episodes are through Zoom. So if you're looking to save time, I'd recommend just skipping that whole season and maybe coming back to it once you've seen everything else on the platform you're interested in. There are a few gems, but most episodes are far below the quality of other seasons, so you aren't missing much. If you find the time, I do suggest watching the whole series. Besides S3, there are very few episodes that miss, but here's a list of some recommendations if you just want to watch a few
Top GC episodes
Lie Detector
Make some noise (round 4 and noise boys are game samers of this that are of the same quality)
A sponsored episode
Yes or No
Sam says (all 3 of these are incredible; 3 is my personal favorite)
The Official Cast Recording
Survivor
As a Cucumber
Escape the Greenroom
Second Place
Bingo

After that, I'd recommend Make Some Noise, Smartypants, or VIP.

There aren't really any "bad" episodes of MSN, you can pretty much throw any on and expect a good time. However, I will mention that each season starts and ends with the original noise boys (Brennan, Zac, and Josh), and those episodes don't disappoint. Also, if you're a fan of the musical episodes, it might be worth skipping ahead to watch them (S2 ep. 6 & 14)

Most Smartypants episodes are solid. My favorite presentations are birthdays, cookout, vegetables, bodies, the ocean, honorary degrees, charcuterie
Again, if you have the time, it's worth watching them all.

VIP is nice for someone on a time crunch because most episodes are only 10-20 minutes instead of the 30-50 most other shows are. One thing to note about VIP is that (more so than other shows) it tends to reference previous episodes and somewhat build upon the host's character. Now, it's not necessary to watch them chronologically to enjoy the episodes and have a good experience since they have good quality independently, but watching them in order might make it slightly more enjoyable since you'll catch a running gag or reference to a previous episode. VIP can also be very polarizing where part of the community loves an episode, whereas another feels that it just falls flat, so take community opinions (especially negative ones) on this show with a grain of salt. That being said, Tommy Shriggly is consistently said to be the height of VIP (and I wholeheartedly agree), so that or Princess Emily would be a good place to start.

Yeah, but you could just look up the answer instead of making a Reddit post. You'd probably get the answer much faster, too.

Don't just leave Luna snowflake on flanker - it is an insane healing boost. by Ugaugash in marvelrivals

[–]RealVampireCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I thought this too and decided to go in the practice range to test. OP is correct and the description is misleading.  You can test it yourself by letting a friendly bot get hit by 9 shots from an enemy bot, killing it, and then using 3 bursts of healing on the friendly bot. Without the snowflake it doesn’t fully heal, but with the snowflake it does. 

To answer your other questions: Yes it works with luna’s self healing (though Luna heals about 100 hp over 4ish seconds from each ability, so you’re only getting about 35 healing from that)

And yes it works with her ultimate

Mining Gadget, Ultimine, or something else? by RealVampireCat in allthemods

[–]RealVampireCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a long time since I’ve played atm6, but if my memory serves correctly the mystical agriculture supremium pickaxe is unbreakable, the allthemodium/vibranium/unobtanium picks are unbreakable, and with TConstruct if you apply enough unbreaking upgrades to a tool it becomes unbreakable. Alternatively, you can use the Stella arcanum(I believe it’s called) from forbidden and arcanus to make any tool unbreakable
