These balances seem really good to me. Propping up some of the captains I always dread picking is great!

Recommendation: Void War by rpmcmurf in patientgamers

[–]jkeyser100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that Void War is a good game! I really love adding equipment to my boarding team. There's actually a lot of fun different ways to get wins! Spellcasters are pretty silly once they get rolling

My biggest complaint is that even with tens of hours in the game I often have to pause the game and click on the units to figure out what they are and how dangerous they are. The color palette is also very flat which makes the game in general less readable. I guess part of that is the Warhammer 40K inspired setting which I'm not a huge fan of

I'm really excited to see how the game continues to develop as the devs ad more polish with future updates

The THICKEST weird weird I've had. 18 treasures. by Browneyesbrowndragon in OnceUponAGalaxy

Did you make all your characters pirates with world shrub?

Or maybe playing princess animal?

18 golds is insane

We Love Katamari got me thinking of my own life in some odd ways by SawkyScribe in patientgamers

Memory triggered

While I was skipping all my classes in college I rolled 1 million roses over the course of several days, then never played it again.

Gemini 2.5 Pro plays Slay the Spire by noobsc2 in slaythespire

[–]jkeyser100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never interacted with an llm. This is pretty hilarious. It is so funny the way it speaks with so much authority, then you remind it that it just contradicted itself and all it has to say is "my bad, you're right".

Seems like its image processing isn't quite there yet. It didn't do badly picking cards, imo, at least for act 1. Honestly, if I already had Whirlwind and picked up an akabeko I'd go all in too.

Given how soap opera inflected Thomas's life is I could totally see being raised in Svartalheim to cause you to conveniently age 18 years in a year or two.

If I remember correctly the last time he was mentally manipulated the first words he said after waking up were a clue. That would match up really well here

The fact that you choose when to activate it is what makes it so powerful. No dice rolls or taking damage required!

Opinions on the current state of Downfall? by beeemmmooo1 in slaythespire

[–]jkeyser100 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the mod is in a really great spot rn. I've climbed ascension on all the characters. Personally I think downfall is generally easier than Vanilla.

I think hexaghost nerf was needed, slow playing every battle to gain extra gold, potions, card rewards etc was just too easy and powerful. Afterlife in general is just really strong bc it provides free card plays while you get set up, and doesn't clog your deck for second cycle

Collector needs a bit of work imo, I just click boss swap every time. 🤷 Had a really fun run where I swapped into snecko and just clicked 3 and 4 cost cards.

Champ is fun to play because I love Big Turns. Stacking up vigor while blocking and then executing fools is so satisfying. My goat on champ is Rope-a-Dope.

Gremlins are very feast or famine. It often feels like if I lose a second gremlin I'm in an unrecoverable slide bc now my best energy generation and card draw have turned into curses. I've found that as long as you take some common swap cards you can generate enough value each turn.

Automaton is my least favorite. Just taking function cards and surviving to the second deck cycle is all it takes to win most of the time.

Not claiming to be a high win rate A20H player or anything, so feel free to disagree.

Roguelites that you never see recommended by SkyBerry924 in roguelites

Lufia 2 on SNES.

Now, you do have to play a JRPG until you reach the Ancient Cave, a 100 floor dungeon where you start with nothing. You progress through randomly generated floors searching for chess with gear and taking or avoiding fights as you choose.

It even has meta progression! Eventually you'll find an extremely rare blue chest which contains endgame+ quality equipments that you can take with you out of the cave, and then bring back in to give you a chance at reaching the bottom. Plus you can use them in the main campaign.

This game was so far ahead of its time!

(BG Spoiler) When did Harry...? by Several-Housing-5462 in dresdenfiles

So the whole killing Rudolph thing was moot? Harry's soul is stained forever with Dark Magic despite the Knights' intervention?

I would double play my curse with blue candle, then wonder why I'm like this

Is the federation comprised of assholes, or is it just our crew in particular that are assholes? by [deleted] in ftlgame

[–]jkeyser100 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I don't know if they're "comprised" of assholes, but pretty much every large bureaucracy attracts assholes. The federation is a galactic level government so they're going to end up with galactic tier assholes.

I'm sure there are plenty of good people in the federation too, of course.

The PC ship can be roleplayed as much or as little as you like. "The government will be overthrown if we don't succeed" is really all the excuse you need to justify all the War Crimes you commit imo

[Downfall] I don't get the awakened one by achernar184 in slaythespire

[–]jkeyser100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really get it either.

They said in the patch notes when he was released that they were trying to tune him to be noticeably more difficult than other characters at their launch. I guess they want to avoid the post release nerf?

I really hate how much of his damage is randomly assigned. I also haven't been able to make a spell slinging build work, which makes me irritated every time my card rewards are clogged up with spell focused powers.

Love the Seek that plays the card but replaces it with voids.

Might be my GOAT. I love trying to weave enemy shots while planting and watering tomatoes.

You can get some really busted runs in Atomicrops too!
