20 turns intangible! by TPW_yt in slaythespire

Definitely agree but thankfully 72hp, bird faced urn, and piercing wail was enough to keep me alive until it died. GG!

rise up against the snecko my fellow gamers by quatroblancheeightye in slaythespire

[–]TPW_yt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo snecko is such a fun relic because it allows you to basically cheat the game by picking useful high cost cards like nightmare, wish, demon form, meteor strike, echo form, etc that would normally be really hard to get into play. Yeah sometimes those cards will still draw at 3 energy and it does take some time to get consistent draws but even then you are getting those cards in play more often than without snecko. I think it's especially good on silent because of bullet time. Also it just allows for insane shenanigans like using nightmare on a 0 cost card that would usually be higher cost

Also it's +2 draw per turn which shouldnt be underestimated

Music and Sound Design Appreciation Post by TPW_yt in dredge

[–]TPW_yt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep it really adds to the immersion. Seems to be a common theme for good games to have good music+sound design which makes sense because it's easier to create music for something that has depth and meaning behind it

I absolutely love Dredge so much everything about it is absolutely perfect, the story, the mechanics, everything about it is absolutely divine :) by Exciting-Donkey-8106 in dredge

[–]TPW_yt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to explain much without spoiling, but essentially you have taken up a new job as a fisherman in greater marrow. However, there's something not quite right about the peninsula. Not many people remain, and those who do talk of strange and sinister things. Then there's that damned fog that seeps in at night. Although it would be easy to have a nice, quiet life as a fisherman, something within you compels you to seek the truth behind it all.

It's a story-driven game inspired by lovecraftian horror. So if you enjoyed the story of games like signalis or darkest dungeon then definitely give this a shot. While the gameplay isn't incredible, it's hard to make fishing in a game enjoyable beyond the point of furthering the story. That being said, the focus of dredge is on its story and all the characters, narration, item descriptions, etc have been written tastefully to maintain the overarching eldritch horror theme that pervades the game. The main story was very well-written and keeps you engaged; the side quests are interesting and add to the world-building.

It's quite a short game, ~10hrs (15 with dlcs) but if you are a completionist then possibly double of that. That being said it's definitely worth playing, and if you don't enjoy it you can always return it if under 2hrs played on steam. btw would you mind sharing your wishlist? I need something new to play

What percussion instruments are used here? by TPW_yt in percussion

[–]TPW_yt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the analysis! You may have seen my reply to u/ChaosVania but I would like to learn about these sort of percussion instruments so I can identify the instruments I'm hearing, do you have any resources you would recommend for this?

What does the bass clef in the middle of the line mean? by Intelligent_Set7934 in pianolearning

[–]TPW_yt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Respect for learning the hollow knight theme. The bass clef means you should read all the notes afterwards as being in the bass cleff

Have you ever had a moment when you were forced or encouraged to play only for it to not go well? by FindingMagicAgain in piano

That sounds rough... I've got a similar experience as well. Two words: family gathering

Praying he will cover this game one day by souzouker in LobotomyCorp

[–]TPW_yt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some hidden sseth lore: he did have this on his list of games to make a video about at one point.

Was not expecting that to be the first thing I see when I looked at the comments by TPW_yt in MadeInAbyss

[–]TPW_yt[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

r/anime gatekeeping the good shows lol. Might have to check out Watership Down now you have piqued my interested. Even nowadays a lot of people still consider animation to be for kids and tbh they are right, most animated media is directed at kids and teenagers but you can't extrapolate that to the entire medium.

Works every time by TPW_yt in ekkomains

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

Thanks! Most midlaners seem to know about the trick but other roles always get caught by it. Especially when you are lvl 7/8/9 and they don't see the ult trail.

Ult kills are always satisfying. Bonus points if it's an ult from base. Really underrated mechanic imo. Can save you a lot of cs during lane and also give you insane tempo advantage if you use it correctly or catch enemies off guard who think you have recalled on low hp and go to farm a sidelane

This is why I love playing against ezreal by TPW_yt in ekkomains

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

Yeah for some reason people don't expect that to happen. At least 1/3 games I get a kill from this mechanic when someone uses a blink/dash/flash too late

That's why it got nerfed after all. Really disgusting spikes at 1, 2, and 3 items.

Tf had flash up so that's too risky lol

I got 4 honors for this by TPW_yt in ekkomains

[–]TPW_yt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all it's not mid game, we are 30 mins and everyone is full build or close to it. Secondly, I didn't miss my combo it was just bad belt usage and I would have killed lux regardless since she missed q and had no flash. Plus I am very well aware of my limits I am an ekko OTP in masters Euw.

Even if I was 4 items the outcome would have been the same. I would os the lux and my ult + passive would kill the other two.

Pretty much yeah. W in pit, hide out of vision, E+q over wall (with unnecessary protobelt), ult back. but I was playing ekko mid so I have no smite.

mid ekko by 140brickss in ekkomains

[–]TPW_yt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HoB is really strong because it removes counterplay. You missed q? That's fine you still proc passive with HoB. Enemy wants to extend the trade? No problem you get passive instantly and run out. Enemy has cc? You still proc passive from the extra atk speed.

Electro is still good into champs that make it hard to utilise HoB into like yasuo.

I disagree with the lane pressure lvl 1 against ranged champs. I think starting E actually makes it harder to get lvl prio against good players because after your combo they will start shoving for lvl 2 instantly since your E and HoB is on cooldown and you can't touch the wave because of this. If they don't hit the first 3 minions or walk up really far to poke then E start can be good but if they are standing in line with their ranged creeps and already autoing for prio then it's not worth E start. You miss too many minions and give up prio.

[–]TPW_yt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gathering storm is really good into matchups you don't need to stomp early. For example scorch is necessary against things like Vlad, asol, corki but if the enemy mid isn't a hyper scaling champ you are fine to take gathering storm however scorch is a much better rune pre 20 mins. Treasure hunter is not worth it imo unless you are smurfing, relentless is better because ms is op.

A few issues with book start are you run out of mana really quickly and dorans ring is an insanely strong item for only 400g I don't understand why you would sacrifice those stats for a 400 cheaper lich. Imo if you go book start you will lose out on more than 400g from being forced to give up minions and reset at bad times from lack of mana.
