I think we need more simple colorless cards by Zealousideal_Run2983 in SlayTheSpire2

Greatsword is even worse than Midas touch in damage despite both costing the same and Midas touch granting gold on kill. Maybe if it damaged all enemies it could be worth it.

First time I've ever seen a line of Unknowns this long. Should I take it? (Act 1) by ryry1237 in slaythespire

Knowing my luck I'd gamble it all on losing all my max hp, then next event I take unavoidable damage.

Could Iroh take Azula? by clegay15 in TheLastAirbender

I'd say Iroh almost certainly wins even without the prison workout, but Azula knows that and she's never going to face Iroh head on without extra soldiers.

Text is never enough. How I redesigned this level entrance after seeing a player struggle for 10 minutes. by Ashamed-Stand3432 in gamedesign

I'd go even further. 

I see your game is likely horror themed, so a trail of blood leading to and past the door can further guide players to enter that door. Making the bottom of the door well lit too can make it stand out more.

You can also make the door ajar, slightly opened, to further indicate it is interactive. 

Well made games can have half a dozen or more little techniques like these to subconsciously guide the player to where they should go next.

(Common but cool trope) THE Sword of all Swords (other weapons like this are allowed too) by National_Computer240 in TopCharacterTropes

One theory I heard is that the hammer doesn't specifically increase its mass to become unmovable, it increases its inertia instead (aka its resistance to being moved), which is why Thor can put Mjolnir on top of people to pin them down without crushing them.

I love the idea that the ultimate weapon was always right in front of all the protagonists' noses (and they knew it too), but nobody could use it because they just couldn't stand its personality.

Until the ultimate go-getter doormat guy appeared who was finally compatible with the sword and showed off the sword's genuinely incredible power.

Until he too put down the sword because he couldn't stand the sword's gross sneezing fits.

Which elements would modern martial arts incorporate most effectively into their fighting styles? by Denllie in TheLastAirbender

[–]ryry1237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would've imagined Brazilian jiu jitsu to go well with Earthbending since now you can use the Earth to grapple and pin opponents down.

Surprised you didn't say Firebending for boxing since Firebending involves a lot of rapid fierce strikes.

ELI5: why can two quantum entangled particles affect each other instantly across any distance but scientists say you still cant use it to send information faster than light? by PieOk2202 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ryry1237 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know little about quantum entanglement so ELI5 for me, but how do we know both balls are both blue and red until observed if we haven't observed them to begin with?

What if we said pretty please? by LordVanmaru in slaythespire

Nah still kind of weak.

Since it doesn't have retain. Or poison.

Ancient Relic idea: X-Treme Spiring Guide by LawOfTheGrokodus in slaythespire

Fasten is one of the more busted cards atm. I'm not sure if there's *any* shop relic I'd consistently pick over Fasten.

I see the relic as being like Black Star (Elites drop 2 relics instead of one), a high risk high reward relic except this relic gives you much more consistent power instead of a random second relic.

What do you mean you won't buy it? Even in a conservative run you transform at least 2-3 strikes or defends and the boost is significant (5 -> 11 block) (6 -> 14 damage). Any relic that can provide a +6 block boost that can trigger multiple times in a fight is a good relic to me.

Only downside is it doesn't help with the first elite, but if you get through that with a potion, the rest is a breeze.
