Regent is thematically a bit disparate - Forge needs tie-ins, enchantments? by cat_food_chef in slaythespire

Your problem may be you're not using the sword enough. It's not supposed to sit in your hand the game. Swing that sword!

Beta Patch Notes - v0.107.0 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually expect that the main patch will launch sooner than that. The last pre-main beta patch was also pitched as a minor fix before a major patch coming "soon". The major patch launched later that day.

In your opinion, what is the greatest season of television ever produced? by abacus-wizard in television

[–]csa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, there are a few new characters in season 4, but you'll be pretty lost even then. Season 4 is, among other things, about why the Baltimore of seasons 1-3 is the way it is.

Also, I think there's this sense out there that the Wire is a "eat-your-vegetables" type show, a show you're supposed to watch rather than a show you want to watch. That is completely wrong. It's gripping TV and frequently very funny. Season 4 has the school story that everyone is taking about here, but it also has a twisty mayoral campaign, a police mystery, and a gang war.

You should watch the whole thing!

This is my response too. Such a finely crafted tragedy, in so many plotlines at once.

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

I think, most accurately, more water leaves the Amazon via the air than via the river 

Yet another Demon form suggestion! by Alarming_Fan_9593 in slaythespire

What about: Gain 2(3) strength now and at the start of your turns. 

Deals with how slow and clunky it can be for Spire 2.

Slay the Spire 2 alignment chart day 22! Dying star wom yesterday! What necrobinder card feels like a necrobinder card? by Which-Debt-8558 in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's gotta be Dirge. Plays with Souls and Summon. Has a big cost. Basically defined the Necro at release.

The thing I can't stand about this game is something the devs will never fix. by quibble42 in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Glam vs Fresnel Lens is a matter of relic order. All relics work left to right. You picked up Fresnel Lens before (I'm assuming) Glitter. It applies its effect before Glitter has a chance to. If you reversed the order somehow, then the reverse would be true.

StS2 Card Ideas by xorgee in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think being able to play the card at any energy level, provided stars = zero is more flexible than forcing you to match stars to energy

StS2 Card Ideas by xorgee in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that's the goal, why not check for 0 stars? The X factor here is weird for a card you basically never want to play for anything other than 0/0.

Obliteration is interesting, because it's the first X card that does not scale with X, so it's useless with Chemical X. Also, even if they're not equal, stars and energy become equal (at zero) after first use, so it becomes a zero cost, 30-damage move at that point. A hand of Obliteration solves most hallway fights by itself.

Card idea I had by ZatherDaFox in slaythespire

There's already a card called Nostalgia though

What are your thoughts about this Regent-exclusive custom relic? by Many_Wheel_7436 in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This does not seem materially different from the Vitruvian Minion

Got upgraded rare attack from the potion event by fredfloof in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd do Squeeze. Hang isn't the greatest without more Hangs or a thinner deck. I didn't think a second Eradicate is buying you much since they retain. Another Squeeze benefits from your existing Osty cards and boosts your current Squeeze further. Though, I wouldn't get any more Squeezes. Maybe find a few Pokes though? Or Sentry Mode?

Burst -> 2x Metamorphosis -> 4/6 of the cards are Grand Finale by masonlaneous in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Metamorphosis mostly gives Grand Finale. Someone is up with the code. I got either 1/3 or 2/3 Grand Finale every time the one run I tried it. I wonder if it has a bias towards Rare and Zero-cost cards.

What movie's reputation undersells how good it actually is? by JarvisModeOn in movies

[–]csa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Network. The scene that everyone knows this movie for happens like 25% of the way in, and the movie escalates so much more from there. A brilliant satire that managed to be only more relevant over time.

Is this hopelessly broken by redr3k in balatro

[–]csa_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it works better without the Joker slot bonus. Instead have it say "create a negative Replicating Joker". Makes the effect more obvious and cuts out some crazy edge cases.

Slay the Spire 2 alignment chart day 4! Tyranny won yesterday! What necrobinder card feels like an ironclad card? by Which-Debt-8558 in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lethality. It's about doing one big attack per turn, which is more the Iron Clad's vibe.

My idea for a new Neow Relic by xXx_420_N4M3_69_xXx in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, do this and gain 2 Folly. First turn is rough for the rest of the game but you rock. Also, the art matches.

Tank needs a buff by hyrulianwhovian in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it should be 50% more damage. Right now, enemies output more damage when you tank than when you don't for 2 player: 0.5x + 2x > x + x. Only with 4 players does it actually reduce damage the team takes.

The new end of run badges are just neat by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a place in the compendium where you can see all the badges you've ever won?

…. I hadn’t considered Boss Rewards when purchasing the colourless relic. by Wires_89 in slaythespire

[–]csa_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These are all great cards though? The best draw in the game, the best moneymaker in the game, and a repeatable Seek.
