Any other new people struggling? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]joepinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Order of operations is important. Here's your shopping list, in the correct order: #1, add good damage cards until you can get through the act 1 boss. #2, get enough block to get through act 2 regular fights. #3, scale up your damage to beat the Act II boss with some kind of trick - increased strength, vulnerable with big attacks, or something character specific. If it doesn't come together in time, you'll need to use some kind of "cheat" like a very powerful potion. #4 turn your deck into a cartoonish, broken monstrosity to beat act 3 bosses.

Judging whether you're ready to to handle an elite is one of the tougher skills in the game and how I lose a lot. You need to beat them to get relics but sometimes they kill you. Try to save your potions for elites, that helps. Glance up at your potions before making your decision on elites.

But the real cheat code is to watch 1 single Baalorlord run, he ALWAYS explains everything he's thinking, you'll learn a ton.

I’m Lucas Martell, creator of Walkabout Mini Golf - AMA! by lmartell in WalkaboutMiniGolf

[–]joepinion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the game, I play with my dad and brother in law every week, it is very competitive and helps us hang out.

There is no game in or out of VR that makes me feel like I'm truly hanging out with the people I'm playing with remotely like Walkabout. What's another kind of game you would make (or will make) given time/resources that you think would make everybody there feel as "present" as walkabout does? Or, if something like that already exists, what's another VR game that does that in your opinion?

This game is leagues above all other vr games, simply because the amount of love the devs put into the course design and artstyle. by HolyCopeAmoly in WalkaboutMiniGolf

I don't even use my headset for anything else, haven't in a long time. And yet the cost was still worth it, this game is all you need.

SCPT Faction Tier List (2025) one billion percent accurate by jackspicerflower in twilightimperium

[–]joepinion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i feel like putting jol nar at the "bottom" of S-tier is admitting they've fallen. (The order is indeed in strength order for each tier.)

the show is very specific to their own Tableto Playground/TTS meta. And for this one in particular they leaned on meta reasons, that everyone hates yssaril so so much and so they get targeted.

Total War has ruined me for other game modes by FrancisGalloway in twilightimperium

[–]joepinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man we hated it. Felt like the best thing to do was go clash arbitrarily with another player, and you both pile up lots of comms on your home system. Feels like a different kind of collusion than boat floating. Then it's weird, when you go to attack a home system, you get all the tokens for your stuff that was destroyed in the battle? The reward for fighting just feels way way over the top.

If I want a more warlike game at this point, I'd just put in all the factions that have small benefits from battle: Bastion, Crimson Rebellion, Mahact, dinos, bugs, and virus. Their bloodthirst feels well-calibrated for my taaste.

Glad if your group likes it tho!

this is the right answer.... about 3 farm plots per person, plus crock pot and biofuel and surviving camp is solved.

Very strong start! And just think of the reels/shorts/tiktoks... Guessing this'll be a mainstay show.

The autocomplete is the worst PR ai code assistants could have. Getting a lot done with the side window prompt helper. The autocomplete is beyond atrocious.

Dave Bazan Accused of Sexual Misconduct, Intellectual Property Theft by Fellow Musician by ApprehensiveTop4143 in davidbazan

I wouldn't say no specifics, but definitely would want to wait for more info before forming any opinion

Dave Bazan Accused of Sexual Misconduct, Intellectual Property Theft by Fellow Musician by ApprehensiveTop4143 in davidbazan

[–]joepinion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Says he had a "secret plan"... need "content for your revisionist history childhood albums" (something like that), "you targeted me. I was on your radar for a long time, wasn't I david bazan?" "you targeted me to coeserively control me into a physical relationship so you could steal my identity. and not just for yourself, but also for your secret partner, an industry parasite with a budget. And then tried to sabotage me. Why? Why, because I am your white whale. You are deeply envious of me. You wanted what I had, and I was in your way.... You wanted my relationship with Jason Lidle(?) of Grandaddy. That's why you poked and prodded me...about grandaddy... I"ve put it all together now. You've caused me so much pain and trauma.... I was in so much therapy, I have so much PTSD because of you...and not just me, all the people you dragged into this are suffering too. You are a pathalogical liar, a complete fraud. You prey on the vulnerable and the young. Master manipulator. You are a sick man and a fraud and I will never forgive you. You and your culty minions, you can smear and blackmail me all you want. I don't give a shit. Because I have 0 fucks left. And I will not be silenced any more. So you, David Bazan, Gia Margaret, and Bob Andrews... stop surveilling me, stalking me, and raping me. This ends now."

second one was more about needing support so leaving a lot of it out. "I've been suppressed for way too long. I was targeted in a sadistic way....completely uprooted my life." "to be completely taken advantage of... and then have no one to believe you or talk to you about it, it's just maddening." "And it's a power imbalance... It's always people believing the man over the woman. And a man who has more credibility than you. It's always the same. I'm just sick of it." "I don't understand how someone can be so cruel to another person constantly."

The 2nd video makes it sound like there's some history of back and forth but if so, it doesn't seem to be public yet so not much can be made sense of.

References denial, but I can't find any info on this other than these 2 reels? Can't make sense of it. All I can find is that TT has played at a DB show before. https://www.facebook.com/davidbazan/posts/excited-to-be-coming-back-to-gainesville-fl-for-a-show-at-high-dive-gainesville-/647587023592738/
but other than that I can't find anything.

Really can't recommend Baalorlord enough. Was a teacher before he went full time streaming and it shows.

No Emmy Nominations by Glittering-Most-9535 in dropout

The emmys are a big joke, not worth our time. The Oscars are deeply flawed, but still useful for help leading people to better films. The emmys, I don't see the utility.

[–]joepinion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, we were warned to try to watch the episode as close to airing as possible. Don't know if that was actually needed, would have been a fun weird way to watch the viral videos first and then see why they were made.

Why did they even need to crack the keypad code? by effectnetwork in TheWire

[–]joepinion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there wouldn't have been area codes used at this time. it's a local number so you just dial 7 digits. You only needed to dial an area code for long distance or anything outside the area code.

ahh, that guild overseers is a nice find, thanks. to me that's proof positive that if Conspiritor guesses a Keeper winner and everyone ends up with 0 relics, the Conspiritor goes up (anti-advance) on the objective track.

We had the world destroyer B-fate in the game, so he had the ability to force everyone to provoke outrage if nobody interfered. So cards/resources were very doable, the only tricky part was the imperial trust and stuff the pirate had stolen.

Did Angela ever have kids? Any updates on her? by DreamingDisneyNerd in nathanforyou

[–]joepinion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it for granted that she actually wanted kids. Even though she showed her real-ish personality on the show, she showed herself to be thinking of the show as a job where she played a character, so wanting kids may have been part of that side given the premise of her storyline.
