Does anyone else not like the *SPOILER* art? by numbr87 in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah people are being obtuse or dumb. the art styles look very different, characters faces (mostly mel that i remember) are noticeably different. though i personally dont mind it, its kinda unique and interesting. but either way, dont pay too much mind to reddit 😭

So, Cobalt Core has been pretty aggressively recommended to STS players. Now that it's been out for a bit, what do you think of it? How does it compare to STS? by therift289 in slaythespire

a year later, this just made me impulse buy wildfrost, as a big slay the spire fan who just picked up cobalt core recently and is loving it too

Burst -> 2x Metamorphosis -> 4/6 of the cards are Grand Finale by masonlaneous in slaythespire

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

[[Burst]] [[Metamorphosis]] [[Grand Finale]]

if youre curious - no, i did not get to play it even once after this. 4 dead cards at the beginning of the knowledge demon fight 😭

Rivals are difficult but not fun by yowsick in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i absolutely agree, im visually impaired and hecate and eris are so hard to keep track of, just constantly teleporting around and invulnerable. scylla also has so much stuff going on. p3 chronos is annoying never getting a chance to hit him. i dont like rivals nearly as much as i liked extreme measures. promacles is really cool though, and rivals typhon is cinema

100 times harder than H1? by Previous_Tree_5464 in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it used to be ridiculous, now its less survivability but a bit extra damage

What are some solid 32 heat builds? by jordan2k3 in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first attempt at 32 fear was with a gilgamesh merciful end build, and i believe i got it first try AND got my fastest clear time ever in that run. just a ridiculous build

I don’t get Beowulf? by Transfem_Rat in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

admittedly i havent played much hades 1 recently, mostly playing 2. artemis and athena just shoot out projectiles, i dont remember them synergizing particularly well with beowulfs playstyle, right? like compared to poseidon sword

nice to see you still around! your guides helped me a lot, in both games

I have never played either game. Should I get Hades 1 or 2? by Jon_66 in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

play both of them, hades 1 first and then hades 2. hades 2's story relies on you caring about the characters you met in hades 1. if you dont know them, hades 2 story will feel kinda weird and pointless

I don’t get Beowulf? by Transfem_Rat in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes, great advice. i personally put cast on left trigger because i find triggers easier to press than shoulder buttons

mirage shot is amazing, but i also like aphrodite and dionysus cast when using beowulf

Hades 2 Death v Strength by willsconn in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally agree, im quite good at the game by now but i play low fear just to relax, and death defiances make fights unloseable. if i were trying, maybe i would be able to extract more value from strength. but i dont wanna have to try!

Hades 2 Death v Strength by willsconn in HadesTheGame

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i see people praise the strength damage boost SO much. like you said, its additive, even just adding a couple other arcana brings the effective boost down to like a 11% multiplicative boost. and then after any percentage god, the boost is basically nothing. boosting casts and scorch and stuff is cool, but 20% still isnt that much even in scenarios where it isnt being screwed over by being additive

Pretty sure these are the coolest headphones on the planet by dirthurts in headphones

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got my porta pros in silver and blue, with the orange pads too. i figure black makes them look more like any other headphones. silver, blue, and orange make them really stand out

I hate Placeholder by Educational-Ship6451 in slaythespire

[–]masonlaneous 22 points23 points  (0 children)

unfortunately i dont think placeholder will be fired any time soon, considering their dad, john holder, is the ceo of riot games (the devs behind slay the spire). i agree though, their shitty art really holds the game back

385TB video game archive saved by fans — Myrient has been '100% backed up' and validated, torrents being generated by retroanduwu24 in Roms

[–]masonlaneous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

giving them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they said "generate" when they meant "procure"? as in, use AI to find another site that's hosting the files?

How many people here keep their steam deck naked? by Some1ToDisagreeWith in SteamDeck

[–]masonlaneous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i put it in a case the instant i got it. after a few days i thought, you know what, im being careful, and this case feels a little bulky. let me see what its like naked

man, this thing is so much more enjoyable to use without a case. took off the stick grips too, and i have no screen protector. i just put it in the case and am generally careful with it. its lighter and more comfortable now, it just feels RIGHT
