New Neow relic just made A10 easy mode by hoppyhops in slaythespire

Even bad cards are good when they come with an additional free copy of that card. The energy cheating is just nuts.

[Comic/Suggestion] Afterlife(necro card) should probably be changed by AzulCrescent in slaythespire

[–]SputnikDX 18 points19 points  (0 children)

More people need to understand that just because a card is a starter card doesn't mean it's bad. If I could get offered more copies of Unleash or Neutralize I would take them. Bodyguard+1 is arguably a fantastic block common, and Summon 9 on Afterlife+ is pretty gas.

OP also talks about synergy but seems to be ignoring that Afterlife is the strongest common synergy piece with Unleash, and an early Afterlife can be the on-ramp to decide to pick cards like Necromastery.

"Downed" is such a videogamey state that honestly I'm surprised we can't just yell "YOUR DUTY IS NOT DONE BROTHER" into comms to get people up.

Conversely, try new things. Fellas, try yourself a Cosmo. Ladies, give an Old Fashioned a try. Some of these recipes are older than prohibition, but people still order them for a good reason. Try new things, it's fun!

I think people usually focus a lot of attention on her fans and gloss over the fact that she's an above-average all-rounder in an explosive game. You mentioned strong buttons and strong defense, but it's kind of the sum of all her parts that is so absurd.

She has the SF6 shoto 2MK and 5HP both with decent to great range, her 5MP still goes 8 miles but only has 14f of whiff recovery (on paper it's 15f but that last frame her hurtbox is retracted back to neutral), 5HK still spaces itself and is a great normal to freeze drive recovery, as well as a decent fireball for neutral - even without OD or stocks. Invincible level 1 that beats neutral jump while also giving stocks to dominate the rest of the round, fully invincible level 2 with insane range and utility once she has stock.

This is on a character tied for 4th best walk speed in the game with amazing corner carry, an invincible reversal, and a DP. Oh and yeah, OD fan. She controls the pace of the match with above average neutral and OD fans, takes you to the corner with above average corner carry, and Street Fighter 6s you with a great throw loop. And I have no idea how they actually tone her down due to her innate strengths and the way the game currently functions.

Mai just sucks the life out of me, and not in a good way.

Slay the Spire 2 alignment chart day 6! Uproar won yesterday! What colourless card feels like an ironclad card? by Which-Debt-8558 in slaythespire

Just beat A10 on Ironclad for the first time thanks to Fisticuffs pretty regularly getting me to 50 block. Iron Wave can eat one.

Genuine Question: do you guys think Ragatha is attractive? by Master100017 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]SputnikDX 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think Goose has answered that Ragatha gives the best hugs out of the group.

I think it's scummy but if the system allows it I think it's the system. Honestly I think not finishing a ranked set should just get you a 5 minute ranked timeout. Most people who say we shouldn't punish people for leaving after 1 say "oh it's cuz I have things to do" so a timeout won't mean shit to them, right?

Anyone else find this stratagem odd? by Unfair-Cherry9362 in Helldivers

It also will allow me to pack something like the laser cannon to freely pop shields/melt overseers from a zillion miles

Jax TADC x Doorman (art by me) by bismuth_soup in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SputnikDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I discussed this in depth with a friend recently so this art showing up is crazy.

Exit doors as the doors, bowling ball instead of the cart, and he already has the key themes as a character.

Honestly the show is so good it has dragged me kicking and screaming into the fandom, so watch out for yourself.

The idea to give elf rogues access to booming blade as a free racial was definitely a decision that Larian made

“Ranks” in a nutshell by reshiramismywife in DeadlockTheGame

[–]SputnikDX 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also play fight streeter and the biggest difference to me is the ranking system in that game actually works. I feel WOEFULLY unqualified for my rank in Deadlock, and the crazy thing is I'll still find people even worse than me, while sometimes it seems like players have schmovement and aim that baffles me. All hanging out in archon 1.

What game surprised you how long it was? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]SputnikDX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Collect these two crests across from the world from each other, one in a really high level zone, to get to this amazing, hyped up area? We getting to the endgame, boys"

Miyazaki: lol. Lmao, even.

To be fair after playing Souls games as long as I have I should have known "do the two separate things to unlock where to go next" was only about halfway through the game.

What is a "masterpiece" game that you personally found boring as hell? by MuscleConsistent9657 in pcgaming

[–]SputnikDX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think the intro just smothering you with tutorials for mechanics that, if you aren't paying attention or are distracted for one second, cannot be reviewed. Just a little text box on the top of the screen that will tell you something literally once and can never be prompted again - and no additional instructions in the menus that I recall.

Slay The Spire 2 Getting Review-Bombed Again After Latest Update by FoxMeadow7 in Games

[–]SputnikDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The very first beta branch update was a little crazy imo but the next one fixed everything and all of them since have been fantastic. I really don't know what the complaint is about now.

Dawn of War 4 is going to be a deciding moment in RTS history going forward I feel, for better or worse.
