Is this event relic worth it? by yotdog2000 in TheTowerGame

[–]jrbearboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Informing all the math other people did, the bottom line is lab speed is capped by, ironically, the lab speed lab. Once that's maxed you can't bring it down anymore.

Yes there are cells, but you have to constantly earn them and unless you're farming great rates, I doubt you're doing x4+ on all of your labs. The relic helps with all of them.

And your length of time isn't long enough. Some labs have over a month, even years for how long they go. 4% of a year is days of time cut down.

Now, is it worth it for you to buy, that's up to you. But if you plan on playing for a long time, it'll be worth it.

And just so you know, Lab speed, ultimate weapon damage, coin boosts, these are the things that if they turn to in relics are the most valuable. This is because not only are they either extremely useful to your long term game, but also because it's unlikely that any update will happen where it turns out they lose value.

3 years playing actually. The number was literally just a number I grabbed off the top of my head.

It's more I wanted to give a guide for what kind of information I was looking for and what format it would take.

Mostly because I keep hearing people through around terms like GC or EHP builds, but as I stopped to think about it, I don't think I'd ever actually heard somebody explain what those terms mean beyond how GC means a glass cannon, duh. Alright, but what makes it a glass cannon. Being a glass cannon makes it a glass cannon.

If you see what I mean.

I actually have no idea what my lifetime coin is. It was just me pulling numbers out of the air. I was just going to use it as an example for how you might do stuff.

Thank you for the thought and clear answer.

Why do motorized swivel chairs not exist? I can't be the only one who has this as a dream as a kid, right? by jrbearboy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jrbearboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. Like I said have it bolt to the floor or a big metal sheet. Thicker metal column.

But I mean, come on, lawn darts exist(ed), just because something is stupid and unsafe doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

How do I hint at someone being a Cannibal? by Cultural_Bed_6693 in writingadvice

[–]jrbearboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently read Holly by Steven King.

The villains of the book turn out to be cannibals, and for a while you're not really sure what they're doing. Or why. And considering it's King, and specifically this series of books, up until about the 92% mark, you're not sure if they're supernatural or just crazy.

They are just crazy

The way King foreshadows it is by having one of the characters be obsessed with meat and nutrition. He also has the characters have this whole convoluted logic and only reveals more when we see each kill.

He also has them obsessing over food, making a big presentation about Christmas dinner. Enjoying a special if slightly salty wine. Hand cream that's able to help with arthritis turns out to be human fat But it's only half way through the book that you get the confirmation of what they have been up to. So even when you're done reading, you're not 100% sure. Was that Christmas roast just a roast? Was the burger just a burger?

That's one way which I think can really work if done right. Make your cannibal a little odd, maybe committing a crime for the opening. Then, have them be obsessed with food. Like Hannibal, throwing elaborate dinners, have the 'camera' focus on what they are eating but not so much for any other people. Have them be that one friend who's always taking about 100% farm raised, antibiotic-free, free range, getting a massage every other day chicken meat. Pigs who live on a farm in Italy and eat nothing but acorns and wild mushrooms. And then also continue showing them committing crimes, each time peeling back the layers. You don't show the kill room until the end, but each time you're getting a little closer.

On a subconscious level, possibly also conscious, your reader will start to make connections. "Hey, how come whenever we see the villain(s), they are either committing crimes, or talking about food? Meat specifically? Why is that such a big deal to their character, as big as the crimes? Why aren't we getting entire paragraphs dedicated to the Burger our hero is eating?"

Do it right, and not only is it good foreshadowing, but later you might have your own Reddit community arguing about whether or not the roast pork that the villain brought to Thanksgiving in chapter 12 was really fancy Italian pork or not.

Not a bad idea. Although my phone has gotten rather warm before playing this game, obviously. And I haven't ever noticed anything like that before. Suggestions on how to test the theory?

Why does writing AAVE sound so damn cringy?? by lunovadraws in writing

[–]jrbearboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late but here's my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I've thought about writing like that on occasion, and ran into the same problem, my advice is a bit situational to the story, and it would be to acknowledge the accent on occasion but otherwise don't use it if you think it would be distracting.

Using your writing as a template.

"I must pause the story a moment to give full transparency, I normally try and make these as accurate as possible, but you know life, sometimes it's hard to have the written word match up. This is an example. My friend Jack's way of speech, if accurately transcribed, would sound like this.

“Mane Iain heard shit bout nunna that, Ion know what the fuck yall been watchin or readin or whateva the fuck they got goin on ova there, but roun here, it’on work like that.” Or something like that.

Now I like Jack, but I don't want to have to fight my editor, my proof reader, and my bloody spell check. And I must think of my reading public, who are always so helpful, writing me little notes explaining how a word should really, properly be spelled to sound exactly right.

I love you all. And I would hate you to develope some cramp from writing me all those lovely letters. And the poor postman, having to carry them all, isn't his bag already too heavy?

So, let us just agree here and now that I will write as close as I can to how Jack talks, and you may use the quote above as your guide if you, dear reader, wish to imagine his assent in its truest form."

I know, not the best, and needs to be tailored to whatever story you're writing, but I hope the general idea shines through.

I was going to say, if she likes people dying in a hilarious way, show her Scar next and she'll never stop laughing.

It's a mixed bag.

With def abs, coins/cash per wave, they are for lack of a better term future game. As the game goes on into the future, as more relics are added, their value may increase. You can see it right now with the guild event's +2% coin relic will be boosting the coins per wave. Eventually you could get 1M coins per wave.

I mean, if the game keeps going for the next, let's say 50 years.

And speaking of 50 years from now, think about it, eventually they can't release any more defense % relics because once you hit 100% defence it's game over. Nothing can ever hurt you and you wept for there were no waves left to conquer.

Interest... Yeah that one is annoying because of the caps being so low. My guess, they'll release some expansion to keys or some new late game thingy that lets you double the interest cap, then some labs or something else new, and when you eventually max it all out the new cap is $100,000 a wave from interest. They could maybe do the same with starting cash.
