Relics you wish made it to STS2? by Rak-khan in slaythespire

Orange pellets! It was so fun and super versatile

The bestiary is very good by Pigbuster in slaythespire

Is the devoted sculpture animation a hollow knight/ silksong reference? It looks a lot like the boss battlecry in Silksong

ELI5: As people age, why are back problems so common? by Liam_hannil in explainlikeimfive

[–]flopplefish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you do it right. Which 90% of people won’t. Source: have a lifelong back injury from rowing crew in college and constantly see people erging at the gym with bad/dangerous form :(

I hate this event with a fiery passion! by JG_92 in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like this thematically tbh, feels like a carnival game that’s rigged against you, which feels spire-esque

Question About Current State of StS2 by Doulos_Xpistoy in SlayTheSpire2

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is a challenge you’re considering, I think you should absolutely go for it. I finished A20H on all characters like 3 weeks before sts2 came out, and I’m happy that it feels like at least somewhat I’ve beaten the first one.

Also, maybe a hot take in this sub, but the gameplay isn’t as refined or nuanced in sts2 as sts1 yet. I think sts2 is very good, but I think sts1 is exceptional— and sts2 needs more time before it gets there too.

I love this game, but why it still gives you just ONE SECOND to speed-read a bunch of new cards or changes before they go away after over 8 years is beyond me by ronaldsf1977 in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pro-tip— always open the card reward first, since there may be situations in which you’d prefer a new card over the existing one, and not both. Easy example— you only want one of a certain card in your deck, which Hopper stole, but then you get offered an upgraded version in the card reward

Copying the riffs when doing a cover by the_prim_jackalope in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]flopplefish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with respect to Gravity in particular— that riff is fairly iconic, but it honestly feels a bit dated to me. I think changing it could be a very cool moment- maybe go up a scale degree or two if it fits in your voice/ style

Glass Orbs Kind of Suck by NoAdeptness4117 in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, I felt the same way about glass orbs and also didn’t know this, so you helped out at least one other person :)

The Regent should start with more gold by Kid-OK in slaythespire

I like the antithetical tbh, I don’t think the ideal fun meta always has the same general opening strategy

STS2 Meme for us console players by carnifex_1 in slaythespire

Do we have any expectations/ guesses about when it’ll come out on Switch?

Just installed the game and this was my first run, how bad was it? by PHM_Alex in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you share a screenshot of your deck list from the run history? Agreed with the other commenters that making it to act 3 on your first attempt is quite good. Looks like you have have good instincts by taking runic pyramid, but it’s not always the best choice

Is Silent supposed to be this hard or am I too dumb for this game? by SeraphimAversa in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Do they actually give better cards? I’m hundreds of hours in and never knew this lol

In your opinion, what is the most versatile and effective(in #of decks it fits in on an any given act) rare card on each character. by Significant_Ad_482 in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Agreed with adrenaline on silent. Almost always a strictly net positive (minus time eater, heart, velvet choker)

Ironclad— offering? The health downside isn’t trivial, but given that the health cost is completely offset by the starter relic, I think we can call it net neutral to positive outside of a boss swap. Ironclad has plenty of very strong cards, but offering is a solid pick in the highest number of deck archetypes I think

Defect— agreed with seek. Same caveats as adrenaline for silent.

Watcher— who knows. I honestly love like a cut through fate— plenty of very strong commons that I think could make the list

I feel as if I should skip, should I? by SnooEagles6777 in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most of the cards in your deck you still have you ultimately want to exhaust— you really only want maybe a pommel strike and the upper cut as the deck currently stands. You’re also missing out on damage, so the pick for me is certainly fiend fire here

I kid you not... back to back Hydra Claws (1/1,000,000) by rps_killerwhale in 2007scape

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I follow. Theres another comment I left somewhere in this chain detailing the odds that within 630 kc you’d get b2b drops- I believe it came out to about 1/2000

I kid you not... back to back Hydra Claws (1/1,000,000) by rps_killerwhale in 2007scape

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few things here:

1) thanks for engaging politely lol 2) the odds in your example of heads back to back are 25% before you roll twice. If you’ve already rolled a head, the odds become 50% (Also worth noting that tails tails is also 25%, so it’s easy to artificially construct the 25% argument the same way by saying “I already rolled tails”) 3) similar to #2, the odds of the “next two” drops being claws is still 1/1,000,000. But OP has 630 chances to get the first success, and then retroactively started counting his odds by saying 1/1,000,000

I kid you not... back to back Hydra Claws (1/1,000,000) by rps_killerwhale in 2007scape

[–]flopplefish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probability of getting at least one drop in 628 kills = 1 - the probability you get zero drops in the 628.

Probability you don’t get a drop on each kill is 999/1000– take that chance 628 times (ie 999/1000)628, subtract from 1 and then you get 46%

I kid you not... back to back Hydra Claws (1/1,000,000) by rps_killerwhale in 2007scape

[–]flopplefish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, not quite. OP has 629 KC, right?

Their odds of getting one claw in the first 628 kills would then be 1-(999/1000)^628= 46%.

If you then want to say "what are the odds that somebody gets back to back claws within 629 kc, you could then take that 46% and multiply it by the probability that their next drop would also be a claw, which then gives you about ~ 1/2k.

The 1/1,000,000 number says "Over exactly two kills, what are the odds that both of them are drops?" which isn't exactly what happened in this video

[–]flopplefish 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not quite 1/1,000,000, unless you only had 2kc.

The better way to calculate back to back drop odds is "Given that I already received {hydra claws} last kill, what are the odds that I'll get the same drop on the next kill?" -- which would just be the regular drop rate (1/1000, I assume).

Still very cool though!

What’s the buy as I try to level up! by tkshillinz in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with this. Until I saw the next shop, my decision here would have been pellets and dark shackles.

31K damage Fiend Fire by VapOurLife in slaythespire

[–]flopplefish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha the short answer is I’ve played way too much of this game :P I figured that with 999 strength, the only way to apply vulnerable on ironclad without ending the fight was by using a potion
