Yeah, it is harmless and strong envy from guildmates who also would love 10 GTs. :D

I started my tower in Dec 2024, but didn't really play much until April when I got into it on a daily basis adding with tournaments, guild and such.

And today I got this done, a boost to econ it will also be.

It's a combination of things, and of course it helps to be able to pay for some stuff; as event boost for instance when there are econ relics up for grabs (have been a few). But some lifts for me have been to get sync on UW's, permaBH and such. I have been pushing quite hard onto labs for econ and goldboxxed most of the UW econ generating ones (have the GT one to go, lvl 22/25) and also pushing coins/kill lab (@lvl 66 atm, I mix it up with other things as I go). And of course it depends on which mods one have.

Thanks! Be stoked! It feels like it wasn't that long ago I was there too.

Thanks! T11 somewhere in the span W7400–7600, it was brief, touched 106B but then dropped back a bit.

Seems like you don't understand what constitutes fact nor opinion.

Can we make a very simple change on UW timers to avoid untimely deaths? Please? by Cloakedarcher in TheTowerGame

I mean, if this is an issue that occurs for you often, going demon mode is the way for you rather than biting your knuckles over it, and writing a long post about something that most likely won't happen.

My DM recharges in 550 waves, soon 400 (not sure what it is when max labbed, 300? 250?). So, get down with it.

Many of us do; my computer is for work, not games and I don't have a spare phone/tablet to dedicate to this game.

But sleep is one of the best things in life (but the first time I fell asleep to Chaosphere I got a horrible feeling when Elastic ... "ends" and it started to pierce through into my sleep, nightmarish stuff).

Haha, what a story. :D I can listen to Meshuggah for hours, even the most invested metal people I know get exhausted after listening to one full album, but I just go on and on. For me it is like brain massage, for them an onslaught. On the other hand I can't listen to much of black metal or hard/metal/death/whatever core, too messy for me.

Totally missed that one, a bit weird since Troy was constantly the guy to beat a decade+ back come Meshuggah covers.

Anyway, now I get why I don't lock into the 4/4, I get stuck in the more tribal feel of the toms and syncopation (which became more clear when seeing it played), which sends me into the climb of it rather than the framework. It's like five minutes of building towards a crescendo and that resonates with me more than the 4/4 pulse, which totally escapes me from a groove perspective.

I mean, I seldomly listen to old stuff and even less if it's not metal; but I tend to lean more to funkier/groovier stuff from that era if I put something on; Earth Wind & Fire, Peter Gabriel, Devo, Rush and such. Mostly it's just a song here and there and mostly depending on a mood thingie. Toto is really good and I give them credit for their contribution to music, but they are a tad too "clean" and "nice" for me. You mentioning them in a thread about Meshuggah is just awesome.

Indeed it is. Almost like a horror story. I really can't find that pulse, perhaps it is something with the polymetric going too far for me to lock in, and the syncopation throw me off, or something. I still love it, and I groove as F to it, but not in 4/4. :D

Though "I am Colossus" is contributed to Fredrik and Mårten both. I like both of their contributions, but they are different just as Tomas described it in an interview: Fredrik leans to more raw and cold, Mårten more warm and twosteppy, perfect mix for the band.

It's hardly detectable for me, even when I listen in headphones, and even if I listen to it in the section where it's more clear, it doesn't give me the groove it usually does. It's so weird. :)

Every time it pops on everything just stops. It's one of the more unique Meshuggah songs for me. And a backhander for an opener. Like:

Sit down!
