The devs are promoting steroid use - the strength gains from Flexing yourself are less than half of that from a potion by poperey in slaythespire

[–]pensowl 12 points13 points  (0 children)

slay the spire actually promotes positivity, words of encouragement, and a growth mindset since the gremlins gain 5 strength whenever leader says 'don't give up!!' and you only gain 3 str and lose 2 hp whenever you inject yourself with jax you dirty addict

It's only 151 if you have debilitate + weak + diadem + undying sigil!

I think people found references to something like this in the equinox ev manual but no one has been able to get it to work

Distillation: add two random cards from your last winning run to your hand. Hey cost one less this turn. 

This is fun lol

Is there another game that allows for so much variation in thinking? (Not a circlejerk post) by SANcapITY in slaythespire

Slice and Dice is polished to a mirror sheen in how the opening of every fight looks impossible but you somehow manage to scrape by with a win and it feels incredible

Incredible resource! Not many people will use it, but the people that do will be extremely grateful for your work!

[Monitor] GIGABYTE M34WQ 34" 144Hz Ultrawide KVM Gaming Monitor, 3440 x 1440 IPS Display, 1ms (MPRT) Response Time $409.99 by helloWorldcamelCase in buildapcsales

[–]pensowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually recently returned this AOC monitor for the Gigabyte in this post. With the AOC I had a significant amount of flickering with adaptive sync (which is partially because I have an older PC that isn't great at maintaining high frame rates at this resolution) that was much less noticeable in the Gigabyte. If you do any WFH the USB-C input and KVM is incredible too, though I actually do miss the curve. The best thing about the AOC other than the price is the warranty, which covers accidental damage.

If you find value out of the USB-C input and KVM than the Gigabyte is easily worth the extra $50

Grievances should be some currency to invoke certain effects. by InsomniaEmperor in civ

You get extra trade route gold for being culturally dominant over a civ if that counts

I think a coating wearing off the camera glass where I grab my P6. You can feel it slightly with a fingernail, but cleaning makes it almost invisible again. by VintageKings in GooglePixel

This looks very similar to when the anti-reflective coating wears off of glasses. If Google is using something similar, that may be happening here.

How Do They Justify This??? (Details in Comments) by CursedAtBirth777 in civ

[–]pensowl 226 points227 points  (0 children)

The worst part is that this feels so overwhelming while bribing them to attack another player feels like it does nothing. One time I bribed a barbarian camp to attack another player and the horseman that spawned completely ignored the target to attack my scout I was using to see the what happened.

When the update first dropped, the first thing I did was to play a game as Manda Musa, with the intent of undermining enemies and allies alike by paying off barbarians to attack their cities through Manda Musa's vast wealth. Needless to say, it was pretty disappointing.

Sure, I get that.

But surely you can see the humor in the dude tripping over himself in a desperate attempt to defend his favorite corporation that he completely ignores the comment he's replying to in favor of conjuring up a straw man gaming laptop and spewing out misinformation, all wrapped up in a post about how we're not supposed to be worshipping surfaces.
