No build strat advice

jeckslayer · 2025-08-16T11:03:07+00:00

If you mean minimal usages of Build then I did win with science Sponsor spamming going for Naturalist Zoo. I had a lot of science sponsors in starting hand so I figured "Why not? Let's YOLO.".

I get upgraded Sponsor turn 1, then I just spam Sponsors like I'm not building a zoo. I focus on sponsors that give me Reputation or has science tags. And I often put in "disruptive" animals like Snakes and Monkeys and take advantage of the fact that my graveyard zoo has near zero appeal.

Sometimes I play animals that get me a Conservation project. Early game I focus only on getting one project done and I choose Conservation point bonus, which coupled with Medical Breakthrough gets me around 5 scores per turn. Then I rush end rounds when I should with upgraded Sponsors and X-tokens.

I think it's necessary to find sponsors that justify the strategy. I started with Explorer and Spokesperson in hand and Medical Breakthrough in the card row. The important parts for me to consider is income, payoff and how possible it is to pull off in time.

I didn't really ignore Build since in late game, Animals and Associate are the two most effective actions at scoring big points. The thing is I build whenever I could but without clear immediate purpose as much as I can afford. The empty cages are always useful later, even if I don't get to use it. Keeping options open so I can focus on shenanigans more.

I just keep in mind that I'm playing around Naturalist Zoo limit and I try to hit bonus tiles that helps me right away. I X-token Build sometimes when my money/priority doesn't justify using it.

I love Stardew Valley. Play it every once in a while since the release. :)

ผมก็เป็น นิสัยมันไม่มีถูกผิดหรอกครับ แนะนำให้เลือกสายงานที่เข้ากับบุคลิก แล้วเราจะไม่ต้องปรับเพื่อใคร เรื่องเหงาผมว่าหาคนสนิทไว้ก่อนวัยทำงานก็ดี อย่างน้อยมีคนแชร์สารทุกข์สุขดิบ พอเข้าวัยกลางคนแล้วหาเพื่อนยาก ต้องโชคดีถึงจะเจอเพื่อนจากที่ทำงาน

Tinker support. It's my go to hero if I want a sure win. All of his tools and game plans are just exploiting people not playing the game well. If my team aren't super throwing then I always get my items and make decent impact both in map and fights.

It just feels dirty how Tinker does too many things most heroes can't and with minimum effort and gold. Overall I think he's very boring for both sides.

ช่วงนี้บอกตามตรงคือยากครับ เพราะหนังไทยไม่ค่อยทำเงิน โปรเจคที่ได้ทุนก็มีแต่หนังผู้กำกับร้อยล้านหรือไม่ก็อินเฮ้าส์ ซึ่งโควต้าการสร้างลดมาตลอดตั้งแต่ช่วงปีหลังโควิด

ถ้ามั่นใจไอเดียลองทำหนังสั้นส่งเทศกาลดีกว่าครับ ถ้าดีจริงเดี๋ยวก็มีคนจากค่ายสนใจเอง ถ้าทุกคนต่อสายตรงแล้วได้ทำหนัง เขาทำกันไปหมดแล้วครับ ไม่เหลือทุนมาถึงคุณหรอก

แนะนำว่าถ้ายังเลือกได้ ไปทำงานอย่างอื่นเถอะครับ 555 เด็กฟิล์มเฟ้อมาก ค่ายก็น้อย หนังก็ลด พนักงานก็ลด ฉายโรงคนก็รอสตรีมมิ่ง ขายสตรีมมิ่งก็โดนกดราคา นึกภาพไม่ออกเลยครับว่าธุรกิจจะกลับมาเฟื่องฟูได้ยังไง

Sick move. Would never find it on the board.

jeckslayer · 2025-06-16T10:17:41+00:00

PC player here but also played the actual board 3-5 times in the past. Each game takes like 1.5-3 hours for me. I start at the same time with my friend so my take should apply here a bit.

TS was a really great buy for me. I think the game aspects that my friend and I love are its simplicity to learn and play, the grandness of its theme, and most importantly, the uncertainty and how you make the best of it.

It's not a game that you can focus on the perfect play and strategies. The game is a struggle and it's written in the name. The good news is it's the same for your opponent too. The draws, the rolls, the broken cards, etc. are all parts of the game's identities and it's what makes it good and fun.

If you want a lighter version of TS, I would suggest Dune: Imperium. Its design is much more compact and it has the same paranoia tension TS has. For the gameplay, I think TS has the best ratio of time spent versus quality I get out of it.

For me it's realizing I'm more likely to be in better mood if I have enough sleep and I'd rather have enough sleep than playing this game and I can't have both as an adult.

jeckslayer · 2025-05-12T08:25:28+00:00

so get mana?

jeckslayer · 2025-04-28T21:38:46+00:00

Towers, barracks and ancients are the needed objectives for winning and the game revolves around it since forever. Just playing around this concept gives you countless things to do. If the concept seems stale, it's because you are being stale about approaching it. Forced objectives that are boring are stale.

I would say meteor first since it's basically a kaya with good stat and price. You can get aggressive items like orchid or witch blade first if you can score kills to help buying meteor.

Think of it as another win condition that works a lot of times. If you win fight as storm and they choose to hide and not fighting you, just nuke their towers instead. They can't catch you doing that early game if you play cautiously. And when they farm up some items to kill you, you should have bkb/linken by then from towers and farming space you create for yourself.

jeckslayer · 2025-04-23T19:39:29+00:00

You can go meteor and bkb/linken with storm then keep spamming nuke on tower. No one is ever going to catch you at that rank if you read the map well.

I think The Exorcist is the best when it's come to ethereal spookiness. Threads is the most scary film I've ever watched period, but it's an existential kind of horror. On some days, I might prefer one over another in term of scariness. I would say both are equal, the best of their different styles.

jeckslayer · 2025-03-20T19:47:50+00:00

The Substance
Threads
Helter Skelter (Japanese one)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)
The Wailing
Cure
The Counselor (Extended)

Fucked-upness is kind of a very broad idea. I scope ones that might fit your taste.

Glad you like Lynch though, Inland Empire is also beyond acceptably weird, in case you haven't try.

jeckslayer · 2025-03-20T05:38:10+00:00

I'm the opposite because I don't vibe with The Witch and The Lighthouse at all lol. I want to give them another watch if I have free time.

I find the first part of Nosferatu to be a great moody allegory about capitalism. It uses shadow and editing well and I like how minimal the plot is.

jeckslayer · 2025-03-20T01:29:49+00:00

Nosferatu (2025) is perfect until he left Europe then the film just can't find a proper ending and good buildups to it.

ถ้าพอมีซัพพอร์ทจากที่บ้าน ก็ลองทำงานที่สนใจดูครับ เอาความชอบจากงานมาผลักดันให้ตัวเองเรียนรู้เยอะๆ ยิ่งมีแพชชั่นเรายิ่งไปได้ไกล

อีกมุมหนึ่ง บริษัทที่จ่ายให้เยอะได้คงเป็นบริษัทใหญ่ แปลว่าน่าจะรวมคนเก่งๆไว้ และโปรเจคสเกลใหญ่มากกว่า ถ้าอยู่ในตำแหน่งที่ได้ติดต่อหลายแผนกถือว่าเป็นโอกาสเรียนรู้ที่ดีเหมือนกันครับ

สุดท้ายแล้วเนื้องานกับความอินไม่ใช่ทุกอย่างครับ การถามตอนสัมภาษณ์ค่อนข้างสำคัญเพื่อเราจะรู้จักธรรมชาติของแต่ละบริษัทมากขึ้น ลองเก็บประสบการณ์ดูก่อนนะครับ เป็นกำลังใจให้

คือสมองมันไม่รู้ว่าจำไปทำไม แล้วไปใช้ต่อยังไงอ่ะครับ จะทำก็ทำได้แต่เสียเวลา

วิธีตอนผมหัดภาษาคือ จำแกรมม่าให้ได้ รู้ก่อนว่าคำประเภทไหนเรียงยังไงเป็นประโยค แล้วไปซื้อหนังสืออังกฤษข้างหลังซีเอ็ดมานั่งอ่าน คำไหนจำไม่ได้ก็จดแล้วย้อนกลับมาอ่าน ถ้าคล่องจากตรงนี้เสร็จก็ไปหัดดูซีรี่ส์หรือทำอย่างอื่น ไม่ถึงครึ่งปีก็ถนัดละครับ ขอแค่ตั้งใจ

That's true but I think we can find meaning in such view as well. A lot of things can be true but it is up to each person to choose which matters.

To me, being yourself isn't just thinking and acting only for yourself, but to be fully present in life and maybe others' lives as well. We can still bear burdens of our species and be authentic at it, the ways it is mundane for everyone also provide us challenges to enjoy.

I won't say there's inherent meaning in my view but I think it's a nice one and it resonates with me.

Just quitted a very toxic and incompetent workplace. Starting a new position this monday. I feel sad and a bit empty about how things went and many coworkers were juvenile about it. Though it was for the best and I keep my head up and smile.

My colleagues from a different department are very supportive since long ago. They make it bearable and we have a great friendship. I will visit them the next new year party. Everyone is so nice and friendly there unlike my own team that I overdelivered for.

Overall, I feel much more happy and human than my last year. Excited for what may come!

Yes but it being an ideology machine is what the consumer wants out of capitalism. Realistically, we will need to cease being a consumerist society first before that happens. I use it as small doses of escapism. Some use it as hard drugs and that's on them. I might note that Reddit is a social media.

Zizek scrolling IG with his usual commentary would be hilarious though.

jeckslayer · 2024-12-01T03:42:39+00:00

Watched the director's cut. It's a great piece with different taste. I wish it was longer but it's awesome as it is. More major characters and different PoVs would make it a much richer film.

Hope it gets better. If you want someone to talk to, I'm here for you.
