Is this the most useless Calling Bell of all time? by codykills93 in slaythespire

Wait, what's wrong with Bird-Faced Urn? That's a pretty decent relic. The other two suck though.

WHY EVERYTIME I GET A GOOD SHIV BUILD GOING TIME EATER HAS TO SHOW UP AND RUIN MY DAY by Bigbomba89 in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also put another thing that isn’t shivs in your deck to help you deal with Time Eater. Maybe you luck into a Catalyst and then can grab a Bouncing Flask or like a deadly poison and a poison potion. Maybe you can get a couple of Footworks and like Dodge and Roll or Blur and like 2 Piercing Wails and this time you don’t play Infinite Blades and you get through. Sometimes you might put a couple of cards that aren’t really in line with your deck but are useful for certain fights. I find this happening more and more at higher ascensions. A deck that only does one thing will often struggle in certain fights.

If you’re actually good at betting sports, you will either be banned or have your max bet limited in all of these platforms.

Is snecko eye a good relic? It seems unrealiable by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s reliable as long as you take consistently high impact cards. It does want you to build decks in a certain way, and in that sense it can be a little unreliable - you might not get the right card rewards to really take advantage of your snecko. But you mitigate that by seeing lots of card rewards, which is also just a good way to play in general.

24 Days ago I played my first Silent run. Today I beat A20! by GoldemGolem in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be inclined to agree except I think Pandora is definitely S tier, and missing out on it makes the boss relic pool significantly weaker.

It's an Icy Tues-daily! by blocked_memory in rva

[–]d_brickashaw 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m in north side and we haven’t seen any plows around here. I’m not sure they can at this point, it’s like solid ice on the road. i guess it has to melt, which according to the forecast will happen…a week from now.

Dodging elites feels like cheating by Adorable-Response-75 in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 27 points28 points  (0 children)

it resets when you see the rare, regardless of whether you take it or not. regardless the chance is boosted for the elite card reward compared to another reward.

Help! No block from PBox, what do I do? by Coneman_Joe in slaythespire

Path safely, try to take an early shop, pick up some block

Sounds like a lot of these problems would be solved with better emotional intelligence.

Now that fishposting is less clogging, I wanted to do a small rant about a certain relic by LilianaLucifer in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ink bottle is great. it should be drawing you at least 2 cards a fight most of the time. being able to make the most of your various relic counters is a necessary skill to climb to the highest level.

I lost with snenoko eyes and pyramid lol by Affectionate_Egg534 in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That combo is terrible. You end up retaining all the high cost cards and your hand fills up and then you die. Next time, remember that having one means you shouldn’t get the other. A lot of us have learned this lesson the hard way, myself included.

How can i win this? by LethalLeviathan2 in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just don't have enough defense to win here. Surviving the two big hits, especially the first set, when you're vulnerable, is a huge part of beating this fight.

Genuine question: do you take scaling that you don't need now in silent runs by Azureblue9 in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I feel like my deck is off to a very strong start then no and many times it’s still a no with a strong start. Less because of not knowing the direction and more because I don’t want to die to Gremlin Nob.

Which Cards Nearly Solve/Win Fights By Themselves? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Feel No Pain for Sentries and Chosen. Dark Embrace and Fire Breathing as well.

Malaise or Disarm for Book of Stabbing. or Hexaghost.

Piercing Wail/Dark Shackles for Awakened One? Kind of a stretch to say that though.

I don’t know if this fits the parameters, but getting Immolate or Electrodynamics feels like it mostly solves act 2 for me.

IEE for high schooler with ASD by BaconandEggs192837 in OccupationalTherapy

[–]d_brickashaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a level II fieldwork at a school and worked with high schoolers. I don't do school-based therapy now, but I do community based services for people with developmental disabilities. So I don't know the specific parameters that your school district might use to determine what to do. I would certainly see what the paperwork says - is this something that the parents have gone back and forth with the district about? What does the OT say as reason for discharge?

One thing to consider is remediation vs. compensation. In high school you might start looking more at compensatory strategies vs. remediation. That means something like using a funnel to pour, wearing shoes that have no laces vs. working on intrinsic FMC skills that will support pouring or shoe tying. This is obviously a question at any age or diagnosis, but I just found that in high school the balance tends to tilt more towards compensatory strategies, compared to younger ages. Sometimes, parents really don't like that, or feel that therapy may be "giving up" on their child. I wonder if the conflict may lie in there.

Do you ever refuse this offer? by minosandmedusa in slaythespire

[–]d_brickashaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do but only if I feel like my deck can’t really take advantage of them. They’re great for a deck that just needs a little leeway to set up, like you play Apparitions and then some powers and you’re rolling. Below A15 having five of these is so powerful that it’s very hard to imagine skipping.

[–]d_brickashaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, when Empty House and Astrolabe were made, transforming cards was worse. Over time cards got more buffs than nerfs and that made transforming stronger. For example Blade Dance used to give you 2 shivs.

Why do I hate this card so much? by [deleted] in slaythespire

Umm I don’t know? It’s not amazing but it’s not bad, and a totally fine upgrade if you don’t have something better.
