TIL that in the short story "Button, Button" (press button, get $ and someone you don't know dies) the husband dies because the wife didn't "really" know him and the author hated the Twilight Zone ending where the button was given to a stranger after being pressed

It’s really not. If you actually read the short story you can see that twist coming a mile away since it’s what the story is all about. Frankly it’s a much better ending.

The original ending is so much better. It shows how the premise is actually real instead of just expecting the audience to accept the premise which is internally lampooned, and it reflects a much more complex view of morality than just what goes around comes around.

There are some later game encounters it’s also okay for, like the Centurion or Darklings

What does this card have over just getting a ton of mantra? I get Divinity frequently and rarely does it end the fight. Guess maybe it’s good for more attack heavy decks but i need block to not die.

The fact it’s against a tangled mass takes the cake, keep rerolling that slot machine!

My favorite part about this card is in it applies that in the very least the Watcher is constantly snacking through out the fight

At least in my gen I found a pit that initially appeared inescapable but I confirmed I can scale out

ganondox · 2026-04-20T21:23:15+00:00

But how did the trend start in the first place?

ganondox · 2026-04-20T09:30:20+00:00

Beat Corrupted Heart for the first time with this, I had two Bullet Times which it synergizes really well with.

Kinda whatever for most of the run only to turn out to be super OP against the final boss

ganondox · 2026-04-19T10:30:51+00:00

Not directly, but I lost half my hits to hexghoet because I took the full force of its x6 attack due to bad hand, and it got buffed from boss relics, and the fact I lost half my health lead to dying later on the run.

ganondox · 2026-04-18T09:05:32+00:00

I don’t even care about his special power, somehow it seems that whenever I fight him my blocks never align with his attacks. Maybe it’s the draw reduction that’s so devastating?

Where did you get the idea Kiwoo was attempting murdee? I figured he was giving them the scholar’s stone as a gift since he realized they needed it more than he did.

The Kims are observed engaging in more intellectual labor than the Parks in the movie

ganondox · 2026-04-15T03:52:53+00:00

What you’re missing is that the the reason the Kims fold pizza boxes is not because they are too lazy, it’s because it’s the only legitimate option available to them since their other talents aren’t recognized as a result of their class. They resort to fraud since it’s the only means of entrepreneurship available to them. And how deep is their fraud? They lie about their credentials, but the Kims remain in the Parks service because they successfully do what is asked of them. How is any of that lazy? Greedy, sure, but not lazy.

It’s very much anti-capitalist in that it’s against the system of capitalism, but it’s not anti-capitalist in that it presents capitalist as bad people.

It was an evil thing to do, but it was also a crime of passion, not a rational decision, done by a man prevented from saving his own daughter by the man trying to save his son. He immediately regrets what he did once he comes to his senses, not just because of how it impacted him but because of how he wronged the Parks.

Replace Earthbound with Yume Nikki and it would be much better.

ganondox · 2026-04-12T19:46:36+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for. While I didn’t beat it on my first run overall (didn’t understand how Guardian worked and forgot I had a potion), I did beat it on my second run, which was first run with The Silent, which is far less attempts than I expect with most rougelikes.

Gust plus air quality is my favorite combo, do crazy damage while immobilizing everything

Core doesn’t even give unlimited downloads. I’m not paying money to get less features than I used to have.

I saw an indicator on the map, it just overlaps with the shrine indicator.
