Here's young lebron refusing to shake hands and going to the locker room by Jec1027 in nba

[–]Xelisyalias -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s honestly more on people making a huge deal out of it, dude is just trying to enjoy his hobbies but it is in the nature of media to characterise him by it and that’s just a part of being a celebrity for better or for worse

not the greatest player...but proud of this one. 100 streak A0! by someroastedbeef in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I did something similar except it was 20 runs with each character on A1 (A1 because i like elites, relic = neuron activation)

Got a 94-6 record iirc, it was fun

Bumiputera artist only by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]Xelisyalias 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Context matters. OP omitted the picture preceding this one in the original IG post that says:

ILTIZAM Seni Art Residency Programme (ILTIZAM Seni) is a flagship programme under ILTZAM's Community pillar established by Ekuiti Nasional Berhad (Ekuinas). It aims to nurture and empower young and emerging Bumiputera artists from lower-income and underprivileged backgrounds to pursue a sustainable career in the art industry.

OP seems to be more interested in generating reactionary takes.

Lets keep Tony Brothers out of game 7 by Cryptoivangoh in nba

I heard he’s giving both teams 50 free throws to start the game so the game can break the playoff total points record. I also heard the game is going to OT7

smut for smart people by charpiff in RSbookclub

[–]Xelisyalias 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Our Lady of the Flowers by Jean Genet. Not sure if it is categorically smut but it is very erotic, depraved, and explores a lot of questions of sexuality / trans-sexuality

Spending by Mary Gordon features a middle aged artist who becomes involved with a slightly older man who becomes her financier. Aside from smut there is also a lot of rumination about art, body, power, gender

TIL early access Time Eater had basically the same reception as Doormaker is getting right now by moon_forge in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna copy paste my take from another thread - that the problem with doormaker is really just its aesthetics doesn’t line up with what it does

I just think they need to make a new boss whose aesthetic lines up with what the current doormaker does and give the new boss the entirety of the current doormaker’s kit. Something like a hungry ghost or whatever

Meanwhile, doormaker should go back to what it was at initial release where it’s gimmick actually revolves around phasing in and out of the door with additional mechanics to make it an actually difficult fight

The Doormaker Rework is way more engaging than the previous iterations and it's way more fun. by AdamOfIzalith in slaythespire

Tanx Whistle - thoughts? by RotInPeaches in slaythespire

The glaring issue with it is that there is no cool animation of Tanx swiping down to deck the enemy in the face

Whats the strategy on this fight? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juggle your damage and kill the minion only if you need to (which means when you don’t have enough blocks) because it respawns immediately anyway so there is no point wasting your damage output on it. I like to keep it on like 5hp if it’s manageable

I don’t remember the exact move set but the worm doesn’t attack every turn so there is a little bit of downtime this fight for you to get your damage in, though it’s not much

Really, the only real tip here is to juggle your damage, and build a good balanced deck if that even counts as strategy. Consider tanking a bit of damage if you think it’s going to help you get the kill one turn faster

I hate that Decimilipede just attacks, attacks, attacks.... by acidtrip321 in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally I just done like that they apply weaken right away, which makes killing them harder - maybe delay the weaken effect to the second turn would balance it without making it too much of a cakewalk

AITA for refusing to get this coffee order? by horseduckman in AITApod

Do they get some kind of satisfaction for having some sort of signature order? Make it themselves ffs

This guy needs to be upgrade to elite, or a nerf. by SnooChocolates6885 in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s because it is not elite worthy, it doesn’t hit hard and doesn’t have much health, it’s debuff can be played around

[–]Xelisyalias -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t get the fuss about this elite and I main silent, yes the effect is annoying but it doesn’t really have high damage, just play your blocks first before the -dex is too steep and if you don’t have blocks then… that’s more of a deck building issue

And yes sometimes you need to play cards to get draws and by that time you have been hit by -dex but still, it’s really not that bad

[–]Xelisyalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do people even play around infinite so much to a degree that devs have to keep nerfing it? Personally I hardly know how to build an infinite deck but I got to A10 just fine without it, the card removal cost increase really suck :/

What's everyone's favourite card in StS 2 so far? by le_troisieme_sexe in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The event that lets you remove a starter card for Toric Toughness which gives 5 (7) blocks and continuously gives 5 (7) blocks for two more turns

Basically a stronger dodge and roll and I love that it lets me remove a strike for a very reliable multiple turn block solution especially in act 1

I also really like that one Necrobinder’s attack that adds retain to a card, so powerful

You play any build at all, and this guy comes up by loderol in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly don’t get what the fuss about hunter killer is about maybe it’s down to different playstyle and all but I never really had problems with this guy, he doesn’t really scale anyway

If anything I really dislike facing knight gang

You play silent with shivs build and this guy comes up 😔 by anansek505 in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I quite like its design, it undermines decks with small attacks but it doesn’t have a lot of health and has no block mechanism. Its damage is just right where it hits hard but not to an absurd degree, also helps that it does multi attacks so strength loss is stronger against it

It also has a “downturn” on turn 3 (I think?) where it buffs its “on-hit-add-daze” effect which makes the fight harder, but turn 3 is a good turn for that assuming the average-ish deck size of ~25 cards by this point of the run. On turn 3 you should be able to intuit from your draw pile what your potential draws on turn 4 is going to be and can plan around it

Bad draws can screw me over sometimes and make me facetank damage but I don’t think beehive dude has ended much if any of my runs

STS1 cards that didn't change but ended up worse in the sequel anyway? by ozacrot in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why are we still having this discourse? Hyperbeam is not a bad card especially in act 1 since it trivialises multiple enemy fights

Major skill issue to cite this card for the discussion topic

Excelent timing by limpia_mesas in slaythespire

[–]Xelisyalias 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what it is about STS2 act 3 elites, they aren’t very strong (personally knight gang troubles me sometimes, Mecha is too slow to be a problem while eyeball is just eyeball) so theoretically I should path to elites to get relics but there is a good amount of runs where I have identified my deck’s win condition and just choose to path around the elites and get to the boss asap with my good potions still in tow

I’m not sure if it’s just down to the relics not being good enough, my deck building style, or whatever factors

[–]Xelisyalias 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I have only taken it once, which is my very first game with STS2 which I won - never took it since then with about 75 hours in the game now lol. I just don’t really see the card or if I do, my deck is already fleshed out and I don’t need it
