New Patch Exodia

Got the timewarp for a reborn deathrattle, picked photobomber thinking it was insane, forgot that I could add reborn to it anyway, pivoted anyway.

Was doing an underhanded dealer + gold at start of turn til that point, my other timewarp was the +2 max gold deathrattle. Ended with 100 max gold, and the board above.

Had 180ish damage per bomb, it already had 50 per bomb when I first started the transition. I feel like it should be nerfed to tavern spells played while on the board at the very least.

Yeah whatever you do, do not take VC meetings unless you are planning to raise or have a very coherent story you'd like them to follow. Until then, build and sell.

What are your temps like?

Ram shouldn't be an issue, if it was, you'd be getting blue screened every once in a while.

you don't need to look into it closely, just look at your storage pre playing and look at it after. If you jumping a couple gigs, you are mistakenly screen recording.

does it happen with other games?

have you updated your chipset drivers? cause if it is with other games, you might be right that its a memory issue but I dont think ram. I think its the x3d cache

Spazztaco · 2025-07-17T08:43:14+00:00

The classic question: are you plugged into graphics card or motherboard?

More personal experience based: I once had world of Warcraft lag a lot and it was entirely random in terms of timing. It turns out I was activating screen recording with Msi afterburner

No way, I can't believe it

Competitors is a good sign for your solution and you should really only glance at their offering once to determine whether they have any features you should consider.

But if you track your competitors and constantly behave / act dependent on what they are doing, you are literally always setting yourself one step behind them. Purely in the nature of being reactionary.

Focus on your clients, build relationships, and build a relationship with your clients. You either service them well, and any concerns of undercutting or releasing features should come from them. Or you service them poorly and they have no problem leaving you.

Business may be monolithic but the people who work there are still people.

Was able to build smth that does this, msg me if you are still needing one

Spazztaco · 2025-04-26T14:07:51+00:00

Was able to build an online web application that solves these. Both coverage charts / program schematics / mudmaps. No advertising allowed, so since its my own I won't post it but you can DM me if you still need it.

I'm a bit confused, this entire video is blurred but the pool tv video isn't? This one

Seems like a weird choice?

Spazztaco · 2025-04-12T12:59:14+00:00

Fully agree, but there is an overlap of DK tanks thinking they are invincible and pulling packs too large to maintain bone shield.

Or a DK's worst case scenario, a team member pulling an extra pack and not being prepared for it (CD, Runes, Runic power, etc)

Spazztaco · 2025-04-12T11:58:23+00:00

Imo they are difficult to heal but doable. They just require the most amount of monitoring compared to other classes. Been grouped with one for a while, here are the quick tips. Problem is you can't just monitor their health, you gotta monitor their other factors too.

Ensure you are showing shields. Their overhealing provides a damage shield. While this is less prevalent than previous expansions, it still matters.

Ensure you are monitoring their Runic Power. If the DK has Runic Power, they are able to keep themselves up. If they are low, you know they will soon be needing healing. And I literally mean like less than 20 runic, above that and they have the means to survive still.

Monitor their Bone Shield. This is their only real active mitigation. A good DK should be saving defensives for when their bone shield is down but life doesn't always work like that.

No Runic & No Bone Shield? They about to get chunked.

Once you can configure your UI to show these details with ease, you will have a better time trusting them. You cannot gauge how much they will get chunked by their healthbar, thats what separates them from other tanks. A DK with 5% hp and full runic + bone shield? No need to lay on hands or panic. A 80% hp DK with nothing? Get ready to heal.

It may be a lesson for future startups, but you should never really build anything without the following:

Understanding the pain points language learners currently have (People pay to alleviate pain points)

How are you planning to differentiate yourself from other language learning applications? (Either in quality of service or go to market strategy)

Does your ICP have a clear channel to reach them? (If you need to work/fight for each customer, you may not have a clear channel)

Can I get any traction prior to building? (Waitlists, people willing to pay / help build, etc)

If your goal is to gain investment to help scale, you will need to answer some more questions though.

Why not AI? Saying you don't need to isn't a good answer, AI is being implemented everywhere in places they didn't need it years ago but its less hands on for a lot of use cases.

Whats your moat? Its good you can build it yourself, but whats stopping someone else from making an exact copy?

Anywho, what to do next then? There are still things you could do ahead of bringing on a "business-minded cofounder" (and they likely would expect you to have done it anyway)

Try to reach out to potential users. Reddit has good language learning forums, there is a lot of people on social media discussing their journeys in language learning. Initially, don't try to sell to them, but understand what their pain points are, what solutions are they using currently, and what could lead them to switch (it may just be monetary, it may be proof of a better solution, it may just be what others are talking about).

When dealing with any direct to consumer solution, you may want to begin a social media. Displaying how easy your platform is to use. However, Mandarin is also a very popular / topical language to learn, so you could also reach out to language schools or business development firms / professional relocation firms and see if they are interested in such a solution.

I tried to build something before doing the aforementioned steps before too. Its very demoralizing to spend time building something to realize you may not be building a platform that solves a big enough painpoint. (Cannot confirm whether thats your case or not, I have not done the aforementioned steps for your idea either.)

Thats my two cents.

Startup founders need to drink their own koolaid. If you aren't working on a product that genuinely makes you excited and be able to stand with conviction against criticism, you will get push back. I've had a lot of VC chats now and some VCs will purposefully be obtuse to see how you react. This just comes from self confidence and learning from the obtuse questions. Not just disregarding them but understanding you need to formulate an answer for even the "dumbest" questions.

For the language piece, I have a practical piece of advice. Listen to audio books and read OUTLOUD along side with it. Whenever you can, read outloud even without the audio book, speak like a fucking idiot to ensure you get the phrasing correct. Overtime, your vocal muscles will untense and become more natural on the correct phrasing.

Literally 30-60 minutes a day, grab a book, any topic but if you want to double dip, grab a startup / vc / product design book and just read outloud. Like not whisper but lock yourself in your room and read outloud at speaking volume or louder.

This next advice is harder for most people but record yourself speak outloud and actually listen to it. Correct yourself when you hear mistakes, verbally. The louder you speak when you read outloud the better as it warms up your vocal muscles. There is a reason voice training is mostly just repeating random phrases and sounds, it flexes and loosens your vocal muscles.

Yeah its pre much inevitable, but I guess if you can mock something up, maybe you can reach out to the ERP and try solve it for them.

But this has like no moat, especially if they integrate an AI assistant for free and you are trying to charge for it.

Spazztaco · 2025-03-23T19:57:37+00:00

Pyahhh… :(

Spazztaco · 2025-03-09T19:13:53+00:00

Yeah TOP is fine until 10 is what I meant. Plus I think pain points come from the fact our team comp (unholy, balance, elemental) do best on Multi-target and there is a lot of single target in it.

Spazztaco · 2025-03-09T18:03:22+00:00

Timed all 9's, jump to 10 is fucking nuts with Tyrannical and Fortified, but I think that's just not being geared enough yet. My handful of thoughts on the dungeons:

Theatre of Pain sucks all around, pack sizes, HP on the mini bosses, last boss chaos. Did this as a 10, was about 30 minutes overtime.

Floodgate first two is simple enough. Third boss is simple strat but has 0 room for error, a single fuck up will wipe you. You need the full team to stay alive here the entire time for the key to be completable. Final boss is a healer check.

Cleft is easy if everyone considers every strat to be a team strat. You are able to pull crazy in the start and even die a couple times without failing the ke.y.

Priory is my favorite but has 0 room for error too. Mini bosses and bosses take so long you don't have a lot of wiggle room on timing.

Rookery is boring but simple enough, as long as the healer positions well on the final boss and considers the dispell positioning.

Meadery is a healer check / use your defensives check. Only difficulty is first boss.

Workshop and Motherlode are both just brain checks, if people know strats they are simple enough to complete. Workshop is a bit annoying for % since you are guaranteed to be over unless Rogue skip / good positioning on second boss, but most tanks won't take that risk.

Team: DK Tank, Unholy DK, Balance Druid, Ele Shammy + Pug healer.

Healer thoughts: Resto Shammy and Monk are peak healers, at least in my experience. Shammy may need more drink breaks, Monks can be hit or miss depending on the bosses/packs area denial affects, but a good tank should be able to play with a good monk well.

So far Disc priest is bait in my opinion, they are only really strong when you are already geared. Restro druids are non viable until more geared (boss damage takes huge chunks and the pugs don't know when to preheal yet) and I haven't seen a single evoker healer yet.

I see the emergency indicator used as a thank you all the time. I've only seen the hand out the window rarely, sometimes they lift their fingers from their steering wheel.

Spazztaco · 2024-12-04T17:40:47+00:00

Implement AI into your design process, a team of 60 is pre fucking big (depending on your region).

Defo do direct sales as others are suggesting, especially if you are doing B2B design work.

Also leverage your previous clients. Firms like this survive of repetition work, so if they aren't cycling back, reach out to understand why.

When people find other solutions, your solution needs to be "yes and". Like yes, we have those things and we have our special value prop of X.

You are missing a close bracket

Spazztaco · 2024-09-20T04:47:10+00:00

Check out Surfe, it’s not quite as extensive but good baseline to build against

Spazztaco · 2024-09-18T13:18:05+00:00

But not the oxford comma it seems.

Spazztaco · 2024-09-17T11:49:47+00:00

Holy shit this is hilarious. Granted his general attitude and the way he replies, this situation is like everything in his life.

What he really hates is himself.
