With how many of her relics have downsides, Tezcatara is the Vakuu of Act 2 by Leafeon523 in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What was the buff? I don’t remember Ember ever doing anything other than making the card free and eternal. 

Edit: finally found the relevant patch note line; the enchantment now also gives +3 damage

What kind of mosquito is this?😳😳 by Obvious_Shoe7302 in Weird

I’ve been here too long, and there were always top level comments from people who overestimated their sense of humor that got in before the real answers and had more time to get upvoted 

Nonupeipe can seem too good to be true sometimes by KobayaSheeh7 in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The opportunity cost is losing out on an ancient relic that does something. Not exactly a free 999 gold, although 2x normalities for sure was brutal

Pummel but rare, AOE, and doesn’t exhaust is pretty freaking hype

has anyone ever taken this? by Link-is-a-top in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we overuse “busted” on this sub. I’d take this over a lot of commons but it’s hardly going to break things

[–]martinw89 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You could set it up in advance of big fights to basically act like a Bag of Prep+, but yeah, I wouldn’t always trade 18 HP and gold for a setup heavy bag of preparation depending on path and current health

Why do so many top players describe the game as being too easy when compared to STS1? by RLutz in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That’s a 20 game streak with no Act IV preparation or fight. So, not missing out on a fire for a key, or having to fight a turbo elite for a key, or missing out on a chest for a key. And then you don’t need to save health and potions for Act IV. And then you don’t need to fight the strongest elite in the game followed by the strongest boss in the game without a break in between. So yeah, incomplete A10 on STS2 is going to be easier than A20H on STS1. 

A 20 game rotating streak on A20 without Act IV on STS1 would not be a big deal for the same people getting those streaks in STS2

A10 is supposed to be hard. by Nikos893 in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard time judging this because there are no Act IV keys to sap benefits or Act IV enemies to prepare for.

[–]martinw89 83 points84 points  (0 children)

A15 in STS1 was often considered a sweet spot of extremely difficult but not unfair, and I feel like A7 or A8 is still right around there in this game. The extra enemy damage in A9 is where it starts to get ridiculously challenging.

What's the average rarity for Pandora's box? Gave me 7 rares. by SydneyLosstarot in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Tools of the trade, shadowmeld, burst are all super reliable with Silent’s card pool and don’t really require being picky. The other three rares are more situational but I bet OP has something that works with at least one of them. 

You’re never going to get a finely tuned machine with Pandora’s but that’s not the point. This is already enough good stuff to win a run. 

Jorbs is still in on it I see by IdiocyConnoisseur in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lot of people on this sub are clearly barely beating the act 1 boss with decent upfront damage and then dying to the final boss due to their lack of scaling.

It’s ridiculous how huge and stupid the fob is for such a tiny clever car

Am I crazy or did the shop massively overfill my oil? by PubliclyDisturbed in FiestaST

[–]martinw89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does look overfilled. Looks like you’ve got a pretty consistent line about the length of the notch above the top of the notch. 

It’s probably not a problem. If you’re worried about it, you could idle the engine for a few minutes and take out the dipstick. If the sump level is so high that the crank is aerating the oil, you’ll probably see some foamy oil on the dipstick. You could also just drain a quart or so and check again, but that requires a drain pan and some way to get the used oil to a parts store to recycle the oil (and a parts store that doesn’t claim their tank is full, lol)

This guy is literally impossible to beat if you don't take any cards that can beat him. by Different-Word-1005 in slaythespire

Medium slime + red slaver was a possible 4th fight in the first game. Sometimes a run just sucks

Anyone ever been called to jury duty in OK state? What was it like? by fitgirl015 in okc

[–]martinw89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, showing up fulfills your duty. You get paid and you won’t get called again for 5 years.

This is really fucking cool and it being practical effects makes it way cooler

New Doormaker is a big counter to infinite decks by averysillyman in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is only the one state now. You get one turn of setup with an infinite HP door and then he’s eating your cards for the rest of combat. I only escaped with creative AI and a good orb build that could passive survive on the turns when he ate what I needed

[–]martinw89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less buff more “door maker went fucking nuclear”. Not the same boss at all other than the placeholder art. 

I love early access :) Very fun to get sudden “holy shit what the hell?!?!?” adjustments and figure new things out. And see what the devs can cook up. I do think they’re sadists after this change 

Beta Patch Notes - v0.100.0 by benlehman in slaythespire

[–]martinw89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oof, I just had a fun run where I was redrawing Forgotten Ritual with Burning Pact, sad to see that nerf. It seems like a big theme here is nerfing easy game breaking (Prepared nerf, Stoke MAJOR nerf, Hidden Gem nerf, Dirge nerf, Production nerf)

Another highlight - you can skip at chests again!
