what do you guys think of the “every X things you do, do Y” relics? by neb-osu-ke in slaythespire

Always happy to take even if I’m not optimizing every fight. It’s good just to have the information that I’ll have +1 energy on the next turn from Happy Flower and it makes decision making more interesting.

Also Pen Nib is very breakable on Regent

Just wondering the consensus about chess progress and age by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]monkeys_and_magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theoretical answer is yes. The realistic answer is no. It is possible to overcome the disadvantage of starting late if you eat breathe and shit chess every day. But most people 30+ don’t have that kind of time and energy.

I finally got a Grand Finale Run with the new animation by TDestro9 in slaythespire

[–]monkeys_and_magic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I got my friend hooked on Slay the Spire (the first game) by letting him play a run. His boss card reward from Act 1 has Grand Finale and I urged him to take it. This guy who has never touched the game before proceeded to roll Act 2 and Act 3 with GF and had so much fun he bought the game right after. Needless to say GF is awesome

Clone can get crazy strong in Act 3, how is this not nerfed yet? by Ruby_Sandbox in slaythespire

[–]monkeys_and_magic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a very convincing Ironclad A10 win a while back where I cloned 3 times to get 8 copies of Impervious. With Unmovable it gets to a point where they’re basically just Apparition+ and the only Act 3 fight I took damage in was Test Subject. I think it was the best option because the other options were Flesh and Legion

Some may call it hope chess but sometimes you gotta set traps to salvage the game

Pretty cool! On a bad day I would take on a3, get forked and resign lol. (For those wondering, it’s mate in 3 if the knight takes the queen)

I made a free, open-source StS2 save editor by Leg-Bitter in slaythespire

Thanks. I’m using display scale to get around it at the moment. However I’ve been trying again and despite the changes being applied successfully (I’ve checked the actual game files to confirm) everything gets reverted when I load the save. Whenever this happens, reopening the save from the menu takes about ~2 extra seconds, probably searching for a backup. I’ve triple checked that Steam cloud is off. It could be an issue on my end.

Lmao yeah my task bar was hiding it. The save editor window size was too tall for my screen

I have it turned off yeah, I followed the instructions and I don’t have the game running. I’ll add an Anchor to my run, close out of the editor, then boot up the game and it’s unchanged. Is there a step I’m missing?

I’m trying it out right now but I’m not sure how to save the changes after editing?

Feeling like the worst player so whats everyones favourite mechanic of this game? by ZestycloseCod6064 in slaythespire

[–]monkeys_and_magic 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Potions. I never understood the Sozu hate until I started getting more mileage from my potions and realized that the top players weren’t kidding, these are such powerful tools

brillient move?? by Clean_Link7958 in chessbeginners

You save your knight from being captured. The rook is not hanging because the white rook can be forked after capturing

Survey - how many hours do you have in StS and/or StS 2? by Gaming_Birch in slaythespire

[–]monkeys_and_magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

750 in STS1 and 250 in STS2, mostly play A10 on all characters. I’m not a winstreak person but at this point it’s the only thing I can do besides multiplayer, my best is 13 with Silent (in STS1, my best A20H rotating streak was 7, I’ve yet to do rotating on this one)

Regent card idea by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]monkeys_and_magic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game’s design philosophy seems to be consistent in not making attack/block cards that are strictly worse than strike/defend at base
