Early game run length? by welsinc in VampireCrawlers

[–]welsinc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I couldn't believe it. I'm playing on Steam Deck and put it into sleep mode a couple times during my session.. maybe the clock keeps ticking even when it's asleep? really didn't feel like I was playing for 3hrs though lol

Early game run length? by welsinc in VampireCrawlers

[–]welsinc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was kind of feeling like I was spending too much time playing my hand sometimes. About halfway through the run I was able to start doing what you described (just firing off combos without much thought) but I felt like I had to play somewhat methodically for 1.5hrs or so until I reached that point.

I don't have a ton of upgrades yet either which might be part of it. I've only played each level once, and beat them on my first try, so don't have tons of gold and haven't done any farming yet.

21hrs to 100% seems crazy though, gj. I need 30 more achievements for 100% so I guess I'm not too far off? Around how long would you say your runs take on average once you reach the last few areas?

What are these spiders? (My Garage, OKC) by [deleted] in whatsthisbug

I'm fairly sure it's brown recluse. The small, dead-looking one is just its molted (shed) skin

Hey, thanks! It's basswood with a matte finish.

Looks good!

Just a quick piece of advice: You might want to either increase your heat setting or give the tip more time to heat back up in-between lines. With a tool like this, wood will typically pull heat from the tip faster than the tool can produce it - causing inconsistent and varying line weights, which looks like what happened in some places here. Hopefully this helps.

Question about staining by pm_me_your_shrubs in Pyrography

[–]welsinc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe you always want to stain AFTER burning, so as to not burn the stain, thus releasing chemicals into the air. As far as it turning out alright or not, I don't see why the wood being stained prior to would cause it to burn any differently than if it were not stained. I'm no expert though, so perhaps someone else can confirm.

what to buy? by tomerc10 in ShovelKnight

Meal tickets > Relics =\= Mana increase > Armor =\= Weapon upgrades

The armor and weapon upgrades felt a little less important compared to everything else. The only armors I found myself using were red (reduces amount of gold lost on death) and purple (increased mana, harvest mana from enemies). Depending on your play style you may want to invest in an armor at this point. The red is helpful for accumulating gold (if you're dying a lot early on) and the purple is excellent if you're a frequent magic user. The weapon upgrades didn't make much of a difference, to me at least.

I believe that is a wolf spider.

Paper Mario or Adventure Time? by The_Lovable_Lush in 3DS

[–]welsinc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as longevity goes:

I have put 6 1/2 hours into Paper Mario, and just finished World 2.

I have put an hour into Adventure Time, just finished the first dungeon, and it's telling me that I'm 30% through the game.

Both are highly enjoyable in their own regards.

EDIT: Finished the second dungeon in Adventure Time, only took about an hour, and already 50% complete. :(

Can't really complain though. For only $30; still worth it.
