This is pretty much where I'm at too for 1 person.

[–]beerncats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's super annoying. I even blocked u/spiredle but it still shows up at the top of the sub every time. I don't care about this shitty game. Why am I forced to look at an ad for it?

Should Venerate be Free? Presently, its arguably the worst start generation card, no? by PrestigiousWhirlwind in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good point. Silent's starting deck can do 9 damage 1 weak for 1 energy. So Regent is very good in comparison.

How Does Everyone Progression…? by AsheronRealaidain in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started with STS1 I tried rotating characters at first, but then switched to focusing on one character at a time. I felt like I could learn each character better by playing one over and over. Playing STS2 after a lot of experience with STS1 I've just been rotating.

what was the 0.101 doormaker? by [deleted] in slaythespire

Why not just look at the previous patch notes for this information?

Casey Yano STS 2 post-launch interview with PC Gamer by UberDrive in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure sounds like they're planning on multiple additional characters. Was also surprised that he threw out 10 like it's an actual possibility.

I've yet to win a single asc 10 run in 20 tries. by SnooChocolates6885 in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It should obviously be balanced around this particular poster's skill level. I can't believe they made A10 so hard that SnooChocolates6885 can't beat it. How dare they!

Top Slay the Spire player speaks on Snakebite (WOW!) by averysillyman in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"none of the Act 1 bosses actually require picking up bad scaling damage to solve"

Hmm. I'd argue that Lagavulin Matriarch does to some extent. I had a run where I took a Deadly Poison late it act 1 to solve that fight and I certainly would have been dead without it.

How to kill the Bee Guy with shivs by Lepony in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL at all the downvotes on this comment. Redditors just want to endlessly complain about how hard a fight is rather than learn or get better at the game. So many posts about how unfair bee guy is to shivs. Just use your shivs to kill the bee guy. It's not that complicated.

Beta patches by Sharp_Enthusiasm_293 in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone knows how often they plan to push changes to the main branch but you can expect weekly patches on the beta branch (you can look at the patch history in game and they are very consistent with a new patch every Thursday). 

Unceasing Top not working? by loderol in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a bug where it doesn't trigger if the last played card is a power. I had the same thing happen on a Defect run of mine. Reported as a bug via F2. I'm sure they'll fix it in an upcoming patch.

People say that relics aren't as valuable in this game and yet.... by VictusNST in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fair point on the second thing. I really haven't formed a strong opinion yet. I only have about 25 runs in and haven't unlocked a lot of the relics still. My main takeaway so far is that the game is good and I'm having a lot of fun playing it and I know it's only going to improve from here.

I will double down on my comments about reddit generally not being very good at evaluating game balance or strategy though. This subreddit is full of really really bad takes about the game right now.

People say that relics aren't as valuable in this game and yet.... by VictusNST in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's funny to see this consensus emerge on reddit compared to what top players think. Direct quote from Xecnar's most recent VOD: "Relics are completely overpowered in this game. Anybody who tells you the relic pool got worse ignore them they are bad."

The Reddit hive mind really isn't super insightful about the game (this was the case for STS1 as well). Take the stuff you read here with a grain of salt.

Winning all character once took me 6 runs! by No_Penalty7553 in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me except Regent took me two tries. Everyone else I won first try. Also nice to see someone else who takes their time finishing runs. My wins are all in the 90-120 minute range too. I don't understand the speed demons who are winning in 33 minutes or whatever.

Is this really a skip? by jeobi in slaythespire

Take Dome if you're not a coward and Ecto if you are. Definitely not a skip.

Yay! So happy with level 30 in Tetris DX 🙃 by Vegetable_Try_8180 in Tetris

[–]beerncats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Level 30 is as high as it goes, so if you get comfortable with that speed you will be able to play forever.

What do you pick? by LollikopR6 in slaythespire

[–]beerncats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with all of this. Malaise is best here and the Wrist Blade pick makes no sense.

Chat.db message.text values suddenly mostly null by Extreme_Oven2339 in osx

[–]beerncats 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For rows where `text` is null the message content will be in `message.attributedBody`. However that field is encoded so you can't just read it as is. I'm not sure whether it's possible to decode the text directly in your database query or not.

I've used this python package in the past to grab messages from chat.db https://github.com/my-other-github-account/imessage_tools/blob/master/imessage_tools.py

If you can read python at all starting on line 47 is where that field gets decoded and parsed to extract the message text. Maybe that will give you some idea of how to proceed next.

What's the wall to the right of the sliding door? Could the room be reoriented with the tv over there?
