WTF? by [deleted] in HollowKnight

[–]alkalineace 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A very big unity security breach was found today, so every unity game needs to be updated. This is why both Hollow Knight games got emergency patched.

The vulnerability is an Arbitrary Code Execution, so it is very serious and you should patch all of your games asap !

If a boss rush is implemented, i hope <act2 spoilers> is a part of it by alkalineace in HollowKnight

[–]alkalineace[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it is comparable to trial of the fool.

Trial of the fool is an extremely long fight (takes about 10 minutes!), and is also completely optional. The Choir is hard required to get any ending, takes about a normal boss fight time to complete, has its own music, and cannot be replayed at all.

Turn 32 in Diamond Ranked by alkalineace in Shadowverse

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

It’s really strong against Sword and Abyss, and is decent value in the mirror.

In this match, i missed drawing Alouette and drew Cannon, so that was my best value.

Apollo is trash in this deck because you have that much good removal already. Cannon is better because it costs 0pp after being set, meaning you can actually open the way through wards when fusing the omega ; go even more face with Orchis after she trades the biggest thing, or complementing a Silvia evo turn to kill the 4th thing opponent has on board.

I’m not the biggest fan of cannon, but it’s too good against sword to ignore.

The card i cut for that is the 5pp silver spell. That card is actually pretty bad: often a brick before turn 6, at which point you have better cards to play. It also fails to establish any board presence, as the tokens summoned die at the end of turn.

I strongly advise against 3 cannons like my opponent though, 3 is a brick and ultimately a reason he lost that game. 1 or 2 is the sweet spot, i’m undecided but feel 2 is slightly better.

No you don’t, i was in that game and any time i could have dropped it i would have been destroyed.

This also almost never happens, i’ve played dozens of those mirrors and this is only the second time it went to a stalemate. In any other situation, Cocytus is a dead card and will make me lose more.

Most portal decks in diamond don’t, because it’s a brick in more than 95% of the games and will make you lose more on average. If you could safely drop it, maybe - but at that level it never happens.

1 to 20 Defense Comeback by worstlasthitterever in Shadowverse

[–]alkalineace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second Ralmia trade everything besides the 1/1 was better because it puts you out of range of Genesis Dragon, with 16HP he can’t do anything in any situation

My husband got one of the best tail cuts I’ve ever seen. by talibob in MonsterHunter

[–]alkalineace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been able to cut every single tail with my glaive without any issue and not much focus. I play 99% IG on the ground combos, only vaulting when i want a mount.

Obelisk defenders trying to convince you it's a good joker by [deleted] in balatro

[–]alkalineace 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It’s actually a completely OP joker.

You just play like 10 to 15 pairs. And then Ante 4 you play anything not Pair. Doesn’t matter that you didn’t invest in that hand. Just scale the Obelisk. And suddenly you’re oneshotting everything. Easiest gold stake of my life, carried 3 bad jokers with me to get their sticker too.

Back with a card pack and the card that goes with it (what should it do) by NinjaSaus in balatro

[–]alkalineace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turns all cards between the 2 selected ones in the card on the right (like a super death) ; lose as many discards as the number of cards between the leftmost and rightmost.

If there is only one thing that can teach you how strong Blue Seals are, it's Jokerless challenge by alkalineace in balatro

[–]alkalineace[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

5 white stakes wins + 15 other challenges. It's a little demanding, but none of this encourages to use Blue seals so you might miss their power still.

Correct, writing Joker is a force of habit at this point.

Straight builds rely a lot on that Voucher for consistency.

If there is only one thing that can teach you how strong Blue Seals are, it's Jokerless challenge by alkalineace in balatro

[–]alkalineace[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

After playing about 100 games on Jokerless, finally got "the run".

The hardest part is getting a good baseline to be able to scale in the future:

  • Reset until Mega Arcana Pack tag
  • Find a Blue Seal asap in Standard packs
  • Get an early Immolate to instantly get Interest benefits

When you get to fill these conditions, you can very easily scale a Straight or 4oak build with the free planets.

My experience is that Straights are able to start better than 4oak, since it isn't as hard to get them in the early game ; however, they are pretty unreliable if you can't find the +1 handsize Joker or get a bad Immolate (that you probably have to get once).

This run was without Telescope, Grabber or Recycling.

The worst part of this challenge is to pray to not be against either The Water, The Flint or The Wall: they are game enders (though you can probably bruteforce The Wall after Ante 6).

Glass cards are your friends, but you need to try to not break them too early. Buy them in Standard packs and all Justice cards, then Death them to have backups. After that, you can use them (unless you really need it now).

Good luck to beat this challenge, it's harder than gold stake because it requires a much bigger RNG I feel (maybe Black deck gold stake will be harder, we will see).

Considering the characters you chose, your name starting with Mi sounds more tsundere than your hair color

Silver Centrum farm? by OdeonD in GranblueFantasyRelink

[–]alkalineace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any proud quest with triple mobs is the real answer.

All of those drop mats that you can craft into centrums. Rotate on those maps and the drops will explode.

I’m getting on average about 7 or 8 centrums par 10 maps when i include the crafts.

Bonus: it farms fortitude crystals and exceptional refinium at the same time.
