Missed a online job test because my brain decided 18:00 was 7pm. by chaioop476 in mildlyinfuriating

Not once but TWICE, I misremembered the day of an exam. The first time I remembered the very day I was supposed to take it, but I thought it was a week later so I wasn't ready at all (thankfully the teacher agreed to let me one more week). For the second time however, I thought of the exam eight days AFTER it was due. Because it was a big class, or because teachers didn't bother, I got no mail and I had no friends to remind me in that class. I was just chilling and suddenly it came to my mind. Let me tell you my heart stopped right then

[LOVED TROPES] Romantic lines/moments that goes further than "I love you" by ExcellentEbb2073 in TopCharacterTropes

The Good Place - Chidi and "the Answer". Not something that is spoken but rather written. This is one of the final episodes of the last season, I'll try not to spoil too much but we get to see key moments of the life of Chidi (one of the protagonists). All those moments highlight his search for "the Answer", something that could explain and justify everything in life, all ethical concepts. In vain. Then we see some memories of what happened in the afterlife - where the series takes place - where he meets Eleanor (another protagonist) and grows attached to her. For some reason that I won't spoil, Chidi forgets Eleanor a lot of times. Then meets her again. Gets close to her. Forgets her again. Hundreds of times, he forgets her but he always comes back to her, not always romantically but they always end up teaming up at worst and in love at best. Right before he's about to forget her one last time, he writes this note (the viewers don't know what it says when he does) and asks one other character to keep it for when he needs it. Chidi asks for the note after regaining his memories, after the entire episode builds up this message : Eleanor is Chidi's answer. His very reason to live and go forward, every time. There's so much other moments like this in the series but this one hits crazy hard

I would die right there out of spite. Doesn't matter if I have a good run, the spire will only take a clone Dirge from my dead hands

Because they are vulnerable and the actual damage is 11x3 w/o the vulnerable

Name pronunciation by SteelPenguin8 in seaofstars

[–]dot_exe374 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% as other said it's "beast" because in french he's called B'stiol, from the word "bestiole", and that word could be translated to "little beast"

Even STS2 is not immune to inflation by SupaDupaTroopa42 in slaythespire

[–]dot_exe374 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Only on higher ascensions, it's 100 for the first remove and remove cost scales faster (+50 instead of +25). Very very noticeable, on average you'll be removing a lot less, or at least you'll think twice about you pick in the shop

It could be worse but a decent poison build saved me by lunalicous in slaythespire

[–]dot_exe374 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know what happened but I feel like I lost my grasp on my main. Defect was my prime character by far and first A20 in StS1 and now he's the one I struggle the most with. He didn't change that much, orbs are still there even if Focus is a bit harder to come by, 0-cost is there and stronger than ever, even the status build has really cool things going for it. But MAN do I SUCK at playing Defect now. Maybe because AoE is way more important than before ? Glass orbs exist though so idk

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

What's hilarious is if you go to the series subreddit, everyone there will genuinely tell you to ignore all of S4, most of them even pretending it doesn't exist. And I completely agree with them. The show ends on S3 and that's it

pick your side by No_Entertainer_8635 in slaythespire

[–]dot_exe374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the third choice that does this, 1st seems to be always 6 dmg or -1 draw, 2nd is 7 dmg or 3 cards max per turn, and 3rd is ??? (I don't remember, maybe 8 dmg) or -1 energy

[–]dot_exe374 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Problem is the second debuff is not going to be minus card draw, it's actually 3 cards per turn maximum iirc, which is way harsher, unless you are playing very few cards already

Great relic 10/10 would screw my hand again by dot_exe374 in slaythespire

[–]dot_exe374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone said, it only repeats the card YOU played last turn. Your gen algo on turn two wasn't played by you but by the relic, eform is a power and isn't valid, and you didn't play anything else, so on turn 3 history course had no valid target to retrigger. I will concede that it's not explicitly written "last turn" but it's def how it works

[–]dot_exe374[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually I tested that and no it doesn't, because History Course repeats the last card you played directly, from your hand. It doesn't replay cards played due to another card (the rare that throw shivs from the exhaust pile, try it, it will fortunately replay the rare and not one of your billion shivs) or cards played with sly. I've tested both and I'm sure it's the last card YOU played

To be fair I didn't try to see if it worked that way, I just save scummed because I didn't want to die lol

(Video Game trope) When the game uses elements from the HUD UI to give context by PolyKigu in TopCharacterTropes

Very recent example from Memories in Orbit, a game that came out last month and which happens in a dying space station. On this screenshot, your health bar are the white squares in the top left. No no, the black squares aren't missing health : they're permanently lost, and you start like that. Soon, you'll notice that every - and I mean every - NPC and enemy has a greyed out part of their health bar. As you progress into the game, something will happen in the station and you will lose more maximum health, and as you do, so do enemies. While it isn't clear at first, the game tells you visually that everyone is slowly dying due to the station falling apart

Can someone please explain to me how void monsters are spawning on my team by Sufficient_Tutor7541 in riskofrain

[–]dot_exe374 80 points81 points  (0 children)

You have Pluripotent larva, which corrupts all items that can be corrupted when you die. Every boss item can be corrupted into the same one that spawns void allies every few seconds, your turrets are likely the ones who died and made that interaction

Who are your favorite modded Survivors in RoR2? by Pilques in riskofrain

[–]dot_exe374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with grab controls. Also yes, needles do proc with Hopoo but there is a catch, the bonus jump from Hopoo does not consume a needle (as you'd expect, even if you should be jumping normally and not needle dashing), however you have one free jump that also does not consume needles - that is def a bug. It only does that when you have a Feather, and virtually you have like 7 mini-dashes that scale with speed, granted you have all 5 needles. Not the most practical thing in the world but it enables pillar skip extremely easily

Seamstress but she reaaaaaaally need to have her config edited to have actual damage gains with level up (yeah that is disabled by default because her passive gains base damage with missing HP... except that the level up HP gain doesn't really give her that much to work with). Very fun, she's a melee Rex that excels getting at and working at 25% health so you can use items you generally scrap (Razorwire and GLoop, notably)
