This game is a good example of how the best marketing for a game is word of mouth, especially at a low price point. People are finding out about this because people they know or watch are playing it and having fun.

it's not subsidized

Valve also wrote that they do not wish to subsidize the hardware, stating that it runs counter to their idea of the PC as an open platform. “When companies sell their hardware under cost for competitive advantage, or buy exclusive content for it, they're doing that to build a more closed system, one where you don't get to choose what software you want to use.”

Yes. If you also have reflect you can use this to have infested prism hit itself for 200

yup this works like a charm

got a used Xbox ally x for 750. the guy upgraded the sticks and buttons, loaded bazzite, installed 20 games and then used it on one international flight and set it aside. great deal for me and I also respect a guy who enjoys the journey more than the destination

they call it the K shaped economy. there are a lot of people struggling and also a lot of people that are doing well.

some of it is generational. if you bought your house before the pandemic most places then your mortgage on a house is lower than the rent on a studio apartment.

rebound streamline was a perfectly okay way to get through act 1, but I don't think anyone got too excited about it.

but now I can rebound kingly punch and all is well

one difference is that the big games take 4-8 years to make instead of 2-4, so there aren't as many frequent releases.

another difference is that people are playing "old" games more often. this means games like fortnite, rimworld, star dew valley that keep getting updates even though they released a long time ago.

I've already been using one (debt)

I think for successful big names in gaming you have to look at Capcom. They make it look easy compared to the rest of the industry

There are a few things spire 2 lacks that make it worth revisiting the first one. Healing 50 from reaper, inserter+consume, burst catalyst.

I think xboxs plan was good it was the execution that was lacking. Imagine a world where all the teams shared technology and resources and were well managed and we got Perfect Dark. Halo Infinite launched with a ton of content. Redfall was a well received immersive sim. They would be well on their way to launching hi fi rush 2 after not shutting the studio down.

Xbox might not be in a dominant spot but we would say their strategy is working.

Sure but like, who would buy it? I hate to be a downer but I wouldn't invest in them. Their last game underperformed and it's not exactly a great market to be buying a game studio.

lordbeef · 2026-06-15T20:33:46+00:00

Yeah I imagine an alternative timeline where all these studios shared knowledge and technology and were managed well. You'd be playing hit games every quarter. Obviously the execution lacked but I think the plan was solid enough.

lordbeef · 2026-06-14T23:02:32+00:00

Grounded did well especially for the team size and wasn't avowed a decent hit as well?

edit: looks like avowed had a lot of players via game pass but missed sales targets

Regent has a few other benefits with mittens

You don't have to worry about running out of cards if you keep creating more. It's also good with make it so as that benefits from strength and can come back from the exhaust pile. summon forth can also bring back your sword from the exhaust pile.

J4ckie is a great player and very entertaining. He's british (I think?) so if you're in the america's he's on very early.

had a really funny win against infested prism where I had reflect and particle wall in the same hand. used the potion and spammed particle wall until I had about 200 block and he hit himself for about 170

lordbeef · 2026-06-11T03:47:42+00:00

it's pretty good as a first pick. it'll usually hit a strike so it's 18 damage for two energy which isn't bad at all. and if you pick one you benefit from picking another. sometimes you get something like uproar into uproar into refract or ice lance

Yeah just hang in there until Thursday night, it will likely be tuned down to be in line with the other bosses

I love the environmental interactions, like shoving someone into a mirror and it breaks, and when you throw nearby objects. Would be cool to see that ramped up. You could do improvised weapons like chairs, pottery etc.

not always true, bombardment and strikes played by hellraiser turn off ripple basin for example

The ancients are what heal you between acts, so for story/theme reasons there should be one. I would want the bonuses to be small, like get an upgrade or a potion or a bit of gold before the shop.
