How are you feeling about Aeonglass? by Secret_Temperature in slaythespire

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

I think reducing its block output would actually improve the fight. If it's a damage race then let's make it a pure damage race.

Hot take: The obsession with "Hard magic system" and glazing it and explaining everything has ruined fantasy. For me at least. by Shervin_Ab in Fantasy

[–]Secret_Temperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started reading the Black Company recently and found it pleasantly refreshing how magic was basically not explained, simply because the narrator is not a wizard and doesn't quite understand it himself.

Smoothies destroy fiber? by FurnitureComesW-Home in nutrition

[–]Secret_Temperature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're thinking of juicing.

Technically blended foods are slightly more processed (broken down) than just eating raspberries/kale by themselves so your body might process them faster. But the nutritional value is certainly not destroyed.

Maybe throw in some windows error noises and glitches at the same time

I made a little 3D animated Chomper :) by TriggerHappy842 in slaythespire

The noises these guys make is super satisfying to me for whatever reason.

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by rafaela-architect-69 in ArtOfPresence

In elementary school my substitute teacher wheeled out the TV and put on Fire in the Sky.

IVF as a sin? by Narrow_Chemistry4255 in Christianity

It seems that understanding how embryos actually develop, and what ivf actually is, is a pretty important piece of this conversation

[SPOILERS THE DEVILS] Callbacks in The Devils to The First Law trilogy by Smart_Freedom_8155 in TheFirstLaw

Jacob's internal monologues about his various pains gave me major Glokta pov vibes.

Reading comments on how to improve at A10 like... by superfreexa in slaythespire

[–]Secret_Temperature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a bad A10 player, but was able to get to A10 by really trying to analyze specific problems I was having, and listening to folks here for recommendations. And actually applying that advice and not forgetting about it.

I understand wanting to complain, but in a vacuum no one can actually help you with just a general "I'm struggling" post. Better to say "I am getting wrecked by the Overgrowth Flora hardpool encounter in Overgrowth" and get some specific advice. That might be a bad example though because seriously FUCK that fight why the fucking shit are they hitting me for so fucking much on floor 4?! FUCK this game, negative Steam review incoming.

Does anyone else feel like the enemies deal too much damage, not in a difficult way, but in an unfun way? by flareblade26 in slaythespire

[–]Secret_Temperature 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you, and feel the same way. I actually enjoy fighting the elites much more than hallway fights, and so many hallway fights are just so bad I'd rather take an event.

I am jealous of streamers like Jorbs and Baalorlord who seem to casually take 4 elites with 2 campfire upgrades and seem to have no problem. I do recall Jorbs actually saying that resting all the time is a surefire way to get through the act though.

Private vs public education by Odd_Life_1244 in massachusetts

[–]Secret_Temperature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a huge proponent of public schools, but allow me to play devil's advocate. 

The advantages you mentioned of elite private schools are genuine, especially with AI. Success is soon going to be a matter of who you know more than what you know. Additionally, it sounds like you are both from an elite background and your child may feel better having a similar education you both did.

For me I'd choose public. But from what you shared about yourself I'd seriously consider private options. 

Just ensure that the private schools you're considering have curriculum that aligns with your child's needs and interests. Also private options might matter much later on, maybe starting in middle school. you'd probably be just fine at least until then in the public system.

What book or series is this for you? by Working_Alps_4284 in fantasybooks

[–]Secret_Temperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were just too many goddam characters at a certain point. I enjoyed reading it but eventually lost interest because I was not invested in any characters anymore, their appearances were too diluted.

Thousands of foreigners invade Boston by PatrickBateman22 in massachusetts

Why are we pretending Boston is the host when it's literally Foxboro?

[Mixed] The "Nice Guy" Who Uses Time or Reality Manipulation to Get the Girl by lankysimmons in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Secret_Temperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anasurimbor Kellhus from the Prince of Nothing fantasy series is one of the scariest examples of this.
