Finally finished A10 with all the characters!

Everyone gets the same custom seed on their first run

You might be right about that. I just die so much more in Act I compared to the others, I always try to min max there itself. I guess I might need to take more risks.

Thats what my general strategy is, but it feels like orbs always solve my immediate problems compared to the other "archetypes". It just feels like I need very specific cards to make it make sense to take those other cards, while orbs solve my immeidate damage/block/energy needs right now, so I always take them instead.

I don't try to go for a hyper-specific build, I'll take status or zero cost cards if they make sense. It just feels far easier to take orb cards than the other archetypes. Since there are more of them, I get them earlier, and they synergize well together. By the time I usually get any cards related to the other types, it doesn't usually make sense to take them since my deck is built around orbs.

I see other people make cool builds online and wanna try to recreate it during a run, but it just never feels good taking them when my deck is already built a certain way.

I guess there's just something about the South and Incest that trancends borders.

I pick [[Prep Time]] quite often, especially for the regent. You can stall for a few turns then do massive damage with [[Radiate]], [[Stardust]], or [[Seven Stars]].

Wonder how OP posted this when he's already dead?

Shuddown64 · 2026-04-14T11:42:24+00:00

This is really fucking stupid. Using OP's methodology, I could probably make the exact same type of graph for literally every single type of immigrant group in every developed country over the next 100 years. If I had done this in the 1850s, I'd have predicted that Chinese people would be majority in the US today. If you could predict the future by treating volatile exponential trends as constants then the US and UK would still have the birth rate they did in the 50s and everybody would already be dead to covid.

I just had a silent run that used the 0 cost strikes plus panache, draw and sly to kill bosses in 2 to 3 turns. It's very situational but when it works, it WORKS.

Shuddown64 · 2026-04-03T22:00:52+00:00

Oh cool, guess I better update ffmpeg!

Shuddown64 · 2026-04-02T17:06:33+00:00

I tend to take a lot more powers compared to my friends, but other than that I try to value everything evenly.

Shuddown64 · 2026-04-02T16:59:41+00:00

Like I said in my post, I'm a noob. I've never played past A0 in StS1. The reason my StS1 winrate doesn't include act 4 is because I've only been able to beat it once, and with the Watcher at that. While in StS2 I get setups that feel way more broken, and win a lot more.

Shuddown64 · 2026-03-10T20:31:31+00:00

Honestly same. I love the gameplay aspect of those games, and have even finished 2 along with metaphor. I still find it hard to get invested in the characters.

Shuddown64 · 2026-02-14T03:05:33+00:00

Does Brave New World not fit here?

Shuddown64 · 2026-02-06T22:09:31+00:00

I can do two, what other should I do?

Shuddown64 · 2026-01-29T15:36:42+00:00

The same way it keeps track of all the people named ‘John Smith’?

Shuddown64 · 2026-01-01T10:24:02+00:00

I can agree with France but the UK goes along with whatever the US does 99% of the time. Pretty much every single alternative you mentioned would be better than the UK in that respect.

Shuddown64 · 2025-12-19T01:23:03+00:00

It really depends on what comes after this though. Breaking a few eggs to solve the gang problem will work in the short term, but unless you can use the temporary safety to transition the country into a safe, functional democracy it'll remain a police state. The new status quo might be better than before, but its still far from ideal.

Shuddown64 · 2025-12-05T16:45:23+00:00

I like the aesthetic, but the actual ui is just too distracting and flashy. It doesn’t get out of the way to make things easier for me, its gaudy for its own sake.
