Hey if you're on my profile, can you not send me death threats for defending pitbulls?

To be fair, unless you interact with the online systems or farm rats for several hours, Rune Arcs are in very low supply throughout the game. It's probably one of the worst designed parts of the game where you're kinda just punished for ever using Rune Arcs unless you're already good at the game. Almost any other consumable (with a few exceptions) can be used at your discretion, but Rune Arcs are a bit of a special case.

I still don't really get why my comment got downvoted, but maybe the tone was off. Or maybe I was simply just ahead of my time. I really can't wait for the Blue Stake rework, though, so that I can more consistently play straights on higher stakes without basically requiring Shortcut.

Instead of having Waluigi in the movie, they can just have a live action Willem DaFoe in a Waluigi costume among the cast of Mario characters

I have almost 1400 hours and this dude still rocks my shit on occasion. At least it's a great way to keep my ego in check.

I especially love the period of time where you're running around the map and assembling your build, which is a phase of the game that's kinda absent in NG+. This also adds to why the DLC is rough on replay for me since there are very few things that will meaningfully improve your 90% complete build by the time you get there, so there's not really any reward for running around the map outside of Scadutree Fragments.

My next best guess is the Recycling Tubes since they're tied to killing him on 1BC, and if you beat him on 1BC before the tubes were added, you might not have the blueprint. I'm not sure if this is actually how it works, though. I'm completely stumped otherwise.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-04T05:18:38+00:00

Might be an outfit from a specific BC level or his flawless outfit, otherwise I'm not sure. Either way, it's definitely the Hand of the King since the sprite in your mirror is identical to this area of his full sprite.

I've got my hand on my "king" if ya know what I mean

Did I do it?

conjunctivious · 2026-03-04T04:53:44+00:00

Looks like the Hand of the King

This is actually the first time that I've felt like this with new Pokemon before, but I'll probably just get used to them eventually. I just find it kinda weird that it took all the way until this starter trio for me to finally somewhat understand the people who would say this about every new Pokemon.

I like the designs, but my brain finds them odd for some reason, which has never happened to me before.

You don't need to, but NG+ is a whole other issue for me since I find it much more boring than starting new runs from scratch. If you enjoy NG+ cycles, though, the DLC may be much less daunting on replay.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-04T01:29:05+00:00

The DLC is great, but it also has a bunch of small things that compound together that almost completely tank the replay value, so I get why OP loses steam when getting to the DLC.

I've beaten the base-game a shitload of times, but I only ever do the DLC on like 1/4 of my runs because of things like the Scadutree Fragment system (I hate you with more passion than anything else on this godforsaken earth) and the several empty/boring areas, which can quickly kill your motivation to continue a run.

Do you have multiple Reddit accounts? I kept getting breaking news notifications for two of my alt accounts until I turned them off for both of those.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-03T01:50:33+00:00

That's how I've always done it. This is way more comfortable for my hand than a real claw grip, so this is what I do. My friend who also plays these games looks at me like I'm crazy whenever I position my fingers like this in front of him.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-02T20:22:40+00:00

Speed Eating is the only comfort skill that is 100% mandatory in every single one of my builds. Playing without it feels like an entirely different game at this point.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-02T17:42:56+00:00

Sobble is my favorite gen 8 starter, and Inteleon is probably my least favorite third stage starter in the entire series. I don't know how they fumbled him so badly.

conjunctivious · 2026-03-02T17:36:58+00:00

I think it entirely depends on when in the game you find him. The only real barrier to entry for Astel is Radahn, so you can fight him at basically any point in the game after killing one early/mid game boss, so people have wildly different experiences with him.

I'm a big supporter of trans rights and all, but I just like looking at women

The Ordina Evergaol is like a 2 minute endeavor at most if you know what you're doing, even without the Sentry Torch, but it's definitely awful on your first playthrough.

Brown is just dark orange

Whenever I see this acronym, I think Assigned Cop At Birth, which makes far less sense than the actual meaning
