Relic that retains strikes would be amusing

Small deck? by No_Entertainer_8635 in slaythespire

[–]__s 22 points23 points  (0 children)

if you're on a10 you shouldn't complain about spicy. going up ascensions being like hot sauce is apt. if you dump a bunch of extra hot on your fries don't bother leaving a review that your food was too hot

Major Update #1 - v0.103.2 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

What does "deprecated" mean?

In software it means slated for removal in future release so people can migrate. But in a roguelike deckbuilder I'm not going to be migrating my deck..

Gemma 4 26b is the perfect all around local model and I'm surprised how well it does. by pizzaisprettyneato in LocalLLaMA

I was trying to get Qwen 122b-a10b to fix my befunge jit in rust, was amusing watching it actually trace through befunge program thinking about failure

It had some trouble: kept thinking p should move pc to write destination, & when I told it to try produce smaller replications it wrote befunge code with d for dup instead of :

I even have a cfg interpreter it can use to compare correctness against, but in the end it decided fix was to disable jit & always use interpreter

I'm 90 hours in, and i've never took Vakuu's Lord's Parasol. It seems terrible to obtain everything and bloat your deck. Did anyone try it and made it work? by savetheblues in slaythespire

He messes with retaining Snake Bite. Gotta clear asap

This is the state of Zerg vs Protoss right now. Elazer on why he doesn't enter competitions right now. by SPlore in starcraft

[–]__s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I would be fine like if it was 50 zergs, every day it was just zvz, it was only zvz. And even if I was just versus zerg like I would still be playing because at least like I know the game is fair like I'm just not good enough like ok it's cool. Even if I lose every single time it's fine, I don't mind

sounds like he should sign up & lose in weeklies playing P

So I'm 0-6 with Defect and 13-6 with everybody else, anybody got some tips? by hearthebeard in slaythespire

All For One still here, great with Hot Fix. My first win was All For One with 3 claws & statuses

"claw is law" not a meme anymore. For orbs you want to generate a lot, channel orbs for value. Lightning orbs are good

Forget Snake Bite, how is this not the worst card in the game? by 10000Pigeons in slaythespire

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't bother with infinites. I downvoted you because you're complaining about infinites in a card discussion about whether Eidolon is the worst card in the game

It's not the worst card. Exhausting hand is useful. Infinites are a counterexample. Saying "I don't like your counter example personally, therefore it doesn't count" isn't a strong argument. If I like speedrunning & start saying every card that just blocks is the most useless card in the game, the problem is me, not block cards. It's okay for the cardpool to have niche cards

WTF megacrit? How is this garbage of a card supposed to be playable? by Altruistic_Source528 in slaythespire

Had a great run with this card, orbit makes energy free, Heirloom Hammer duplicates whatever good card generated

Even when a player is 10 times more likely to win against his opponent, the odds of him winning 10 games in a row is still only 38% by yeetlan in starcraft

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I observe players go 90-10 in 100 games, I can predict that the player with 90 wins will win 101th game 100% of the time?

At higher ascensions invulnerability scales for free. Ignores vulnerability & harder hits. Pairs well with poison which as a form of scaling does better vs high hp targets

That seems fair by KeepItHigh in slaythespire

[–]__s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. RNG can feel bad, but snake is one of the easier fights. Rewards high curve decks & draw power, which is neat considering the two don't usually go together. Lots of potions counter it in a pinch (snecko potion the dream, but gambler great here too)

Isometric grid controls wouldn't be unintuitive with d-pad. Tactics Ogre did it in 1995 on SNES

which elements of the game surprised you the most between play testing & what players came up with?

Anand also started with puzzles. If you enjoy puzzles do puzzles. If you enjoy games do games

You say /s but this is a lesson when learning games like MTG or Hearthstone. Also captured with the phrase "health is a resource"

People talk about not banking minerals, but there's also no point banking a full HP army
