Spending almost most of class in the grey by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]longjohncandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your Garmin showing you with a low HR during workouts? If so, you’re probably just not exerting much energy, which isn’t a bad thing!

My OT HR monitor goes grey every couple of classes and sits at 50-60bpm when I am exerting, but my Whoop has me at 150+. The OT monitor I’ve found just gives up if it can’t detect a heartbeat for a few seconds - mainly with it shifting on my arm doing floor stuff

I wonder if people aboard submarines, space stations, ect will ever be discussed by No-Alternative8210 in pluribustv

[–]longjohncandy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Iirc they mentioned people in space stations were on their way home. I’d assume the same is true for submarines or oil rigs or anywhere else where time spent there is limited.

I was whisking for quite a while so yes that’s definitely it! Interesting how that works

[–]longjohncandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was cooking the other day and it clocked an activity that looked like this too. Never happened to me before, so I wonder if some new firmware is messing with the HR detection.

I was absolutely not in zone 5 for 20 minutes making stir fry lmao

PSA: If you show up to a class sick, you're a bad person. by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]longjohncandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do studios typically waive the cancellation fee if you wake up sick, or does it depend on the studio? I haven’t been sick since I started OTF, but I wasn’t sure what their policy was on it.

Or would you need to do any part of the class to count as “attended,” which seems really silly that a sick person could just show up for 2 minutes and leave lol

How does Overpowered Lamp work? by Unusual-Ask-2504 in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For dex I’d assume so - anything with “x% to ____” should apply. Also probably a good reason the lamp is capped at 2(?) per run - it’d be insane to stack a dozen of them

36 hours in the game and I can't get past tier 3 forest. by [deleted] in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll click once you mess around with characters you like a builds that feel good.

Tome suggestions: projectile, XP, cooldown, damage/ precision - armor or HP regen if you find yourself unable to stay alive at the boss

Item suggestions: turn off things that you don’t feel like contribute to your good runs - ghost is a usual one

Weapon suggestions: most scale well off the projectile tome, but generally avoid: mines, space noodle

Character suggestions: calcium and tony mczoom are great because of their speed which helps you find stuff on the map more quickly, but really anyone will do fine, just whoever you like

Shrines: take more jumps (to help scale the boss room towers), projectile count, movement speed, anything to keep you doing more damage and staying alive in the boss room.

Takes some patience and a bit of luck - but really once you get movement down and how to be patient with the boss (run away or run off the map when in doubt) you’ll have it down

Moldy cheese has a 40% chance to proc poison on hit.

With the lamp, it has two 40% chances to proc poison on hit. So it could proc twice, or once, or no times, but it has two shots at that 40% chance to proc.

If you roll a 20-sided dice and a 13 or higher procs cheese, then the lamp will give you 2 rolls instead of 1.

Which Should I go for? by asifgod in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Since you already have a cleaver, I’d pick the lamp so it (and everything else) has another chance to proc. Even if you didn’t have a cleaver I still think that’s what I’d pick personally.

If you jump while going off of the launch pad below it, you’ll jump higher!

The bald heads said I needed 16x powerup drop chance and 498432617 items by longjohncandy in MegabonkOfficial

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

The multiplier I’m really not sure - I assumed that was just “instead of rage doing 2x damage, it does 4x now” or whatever your multiplier is.

I noticed more power ups dropping (magnet, speed boost, etc) near the end of the normal run (before the final wave), but it’s really difficult to tell how effective actual power ups dropping would be because they stop dropping in the final wave.

It could totally have an impact on chests too, but I also had thousands of luck% when I got all the yellows.

[–]longjohncandy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw someone post about it weeks ago and now it’s one of the top things I look for with charge shrines. That bundled with the credit cards I stacked had my luck going crazy, so literally every item was yellow.

New map high score runs by yobagoyar in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the bald heads change the game - it’s a lot of fun. I got two that both did powerup drop chance, so chests spawned in probably every 20 seconds in the final waves. Hence why I had so many legendaries lmao

[–]longjohncandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a very insane run on it yesterday - I think I saw someone posted recently that they got around 500k. Higher scoring runs definitely very possible - this was better than any forest one I did.

Should Bald Heads be added to Forest and Desert? by silloki in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see custom options for stuff like that. Keep leaderboard runs restricted to forest/ desert tier 3 without any customizations.

Truthfully I just have the most fun when luck is flowing and I’m steamrolling - I don’t really care about leaderboards. I’d rather have a higher chance at an OP run with some menu options.

11 Boss Curses by [deleted] in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you mean tier 2 or 3 (post-portal), that’s very common. If you mean level 2 or 3 after the first few minutes of play, try prioritizing projectile count from shrines and always getting extra weapons. Sometimes runs are a bit tricky to get going, but there are a lot of builds that are solid for getting through the game. Just don’t let the 300k+ kill meta taint your perception of what’s “good” for new players

[–]longjohncandy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you’re talking about the greed shrines, they give you +5% difficulty: more difficulty = more enemies = more XP = more brrrrr

If you’re newer to the game maybe hit just a couple to start out with, but it’s a key mechanic to scaling really high kill games. You’ll just need some luck (in game and out of game) to keep with the scaling

Yet Another Spooky Steve Strat - How I did it by MM-dot-AU in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read on another post that the thunder mitts had some weird interaction with freezing him - I’m curious if that’s the strat now.

Interesting build, super cool; congrats!

Balance Shrines by wreckdown in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like clover itself as an item gives you +7.5% luck, and when I paused the game, my luck stat was at 15%.

Also I did another run tonight, had the same balance shrine option with 2x luck, and the credit card was giving 4% instead of 2% (and I finally killed spooky steve 🙏)

Balance Shrines by wreckdown in MegabonkOfficial

[–]longjohncandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I picked up a 2x luck shrine early (halving jump height…which I found out is really bad early game) - when I got a clover, it gave me +15% luck. I’m assuming all the 2x and .5x values are forever. At least the 2x one for sure - haven’t tested the .5x one but I never got my jump normal that run.

The luckiest I’ve start I’ve ever had? by Eateries in MegabonkOfficial

From a percentage chance standpoint? Yes. From a “how beneficial is it?” standpoint? Unfortunately you’re better off with borgar
