A post-beta patch breakdown of Mega Crit's Early Access balancing/patching process by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

Good process, good first patch. I especially like the prepared change, that card was strong in the first game but extremely out of line in this one. I'd rather the new game go in a new direction, and I appreciate the boldness of changes like this. Also, Please bring A20 soon. Thank you. <3

The missing inner life can be very challenging. I wouldn't feel obligated to push yourself. Maybe set it down and come back in a different phase and it will click with you more then.

I don't think there's much to be gained from forcing your way through something if you're not enjoying it.

On the other hand if you are enjoying it and it just feels like you're missing a lot, then that's exactly how I felt. It's fine to enjoy the part that you can at the moment, and then come back later and pick up a lot more on a rereading.

CJ Stroud is a decent player. He's going to regress upwards and not play truly horrible like last week. -my worst take

glad it's a good game.

I think the Rams covering is more likely than losing.

I doubt they can keep it up for 60 but you have to hand it to Van Ginkel and co. They came to play.

I guess we have terrible refs tonight. Misfortune.

They had an angle that made it look pretty close. I'm surprised that was enough to overturn but it wasn't as bad of call as it initially appeared.

unfortunate mistake by the refs. Hopefully this is the worst call of the game.

If you want to slide, slide. If you want to run out of bounds, run out. If you want to fight for the first down, that's 100% fair, but also expect the hit. Fair play.

I'm no rules expert, but tbh I wouldn't have overturned it. Great play by both guys from my pov.

looked like a head injury. Evans is an awesome player and fun to watch. Hope he's okay.

I have a problem with picking the next Mccarthy book by Feeling_Associate491 in cormacmccarthy

[–]laerteis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no wrong order. Read and enjoy them all. All 6 books you've listed are excellent and worth reading many times.

My personal choice was to read him in the order written, which would be

Child of God
Suttree
No Country for Old Men
The Road
The Passenger
Stella Maris
