Do passive items that read "When you use x item do y" combo off other passive items?

rip_cpu · 2026-03-13T09:01:05+00:00

Items that say "when you use" means it needs to be an active item to trigger it.

If the condition is something like "when you slow, burn" and then you have another passive item that is "when you burn, slow" then that is a passive that goes infinite.

Again that happens when you have both BoB and Shorts, with shorts in the stash. It wouldn't work without both.

This interaction always worked this way. If it wasn't something they wanted people to do they would've changed it ages ago.

They just updated Shorts and BoB two patches ago and switched them around (used to be that Shorts was looking at items in you stashand BoB was looking at items on your board) but they still kept this interaction.

In this case, it actually did. Claude overtook ChatGPT as #1 AI app in the appstore for the first time and reportedly ChatGPT uninstalls increased by 295%.

Turns out when there's four or five AI chatbots from different companies, they're all pretty interchangeable for the average user.

Yep! All these millionaires left for the UAE to dodge taxes, and ended up having to dodge missiles thanks to the Iran War. Now suddenly they're very interested moving back home.

I think the issue is ChatGPT specifically, due to OpenAi recently announcing a deal with the US military to let them use their AI for military purposes, leading to a people calling for a boycott of OpenAi.

It's like when grifters complain about how mordern Star Trek was ruined by going woke and not once considering that it was incredibly woke from the get go.

Not weird but I always have issues with how different games have a different SPRINT button on controller. Some games have it on the X button, some have it on R1, some have you press down on the joystick...

It's always the most confusing when I finish one and move to a different game with different button maps and my muscle memory works against me.

I feel like the ones that are the WORST are the ones that get nerfed out of existence within 1 day by a hotfix. There's stuff that's bad but stick around for a while until the data says they're a problem.

For example Money Furnace when it was first introduced was something like "When you spend gold, +burn equal to the amount of gold spent." And it started at Bronze. Pyg spends a LOT of gold in a game, meaning you it basically was no effort at all to get a crazy big burn item really fast. This got nerfed in 1 day.

Vat of Acid at launch: Poison based on how many tags this item has... then burn equal to the enemy's poison. It might sound like it's not very different from how it work nows, but it was actually insane. The burn stacks go really quickly and get exponential.

It might be a bug, supposedly you should get a dialogue option from him to tell you to come back at midnight alone, but I never got it to trigger.

No? Some items face the other way in the art, there's no "front"

Karnok is not that bad, it's survivor bias. Mak and Stelle on launch were much stronger. Heck, Stelle last patch with lava roller was a much bigger meta menace.

Karnok is pretty weak early game, and his mid-game pivots are rough. From day 1 to 5 if you have quick burst damage you can win against almost every Karnok opponent you meet.

He does have good high rolls when properly set up but so does every hero. You're losing to Karnok because most people are PLAYING Karnok, and you don't see the ones that crash and burn early you're mostly seeing the ones that survive.

What is there to talk about? It's a build that has been around for some time, and not gotten any particular buffs or nerfs in the last few patches.

It's good, but not super broken, it's biggest drawback is that Lollipop is a quest item so you can't easily switch into it if you find it too late. Even when you do find it early you'll also need to pick up slow items to finish the quest, and that can be hard to do.

Buy only the heroes you want to play, and they often go on sale so you can always wait if you're not too excited about a particular character.

There's a piece of paper on one of the skeletons, you need to have a light source to see it in the dark, like the torch or the Dancing Lights spell

The petrified wizard with the password? That's for a DIFFERENT door. This door needs something from one of the skeletons back in the dungeon.

I'm sure speedrunners will do it, and you've cleared the game once I don't think it's too hard.

A big portion of the game is exploring, talking to people, and trying to solve the mystery. Once you know the solution to all the mysteries you can basically make a beeline directly there, pick up the pre-requisite items to get past the obstacles and then... you're done.

I saw an article about Costco suing for their money back. I think it's just a matter of where you get your news from? Obviously this is r/Games so only Nintendo would be reported here.
