Just had the best Act 3 run in Slay the Spire 2.

Sealed Throne, two Big Bangs, Particle Wall, and Seven Stars let me just roll over all the enemies in Act 3. Unlimited stars to fuel both Seven Stars for attack and a Particle Wall with Retain gave me all the block I needed. This run made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing.

@Quetzalcutlass Being able to sell and craft directly out of the stash combined with being able to add items to your stash from anywhere using the bonfire was huge. It simplified things so much. I just wish I could also submit quest items using the stash as well.

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is amazing.

I love the atmosphere and music. It also has several quality of life improvements to standard game mechanics. Magic has a Light and Heavy cast which can do different things. For example, a heavy cast might summon a creature while a light cast tells your summons who to attack. When interacting with merchants, you can sell directly from your stash without having to carry it all around.

@Arkhive I really got into the game after I got a Steam Deck. It's an easy game to pick up and put down allowing me to easily fill small periods of free time without requiring muscle memory or in depth game mechanics. Everything I need to know is explained on the cards itself and it's turn based so I can take my time.

@KnitWit Regent is hit or miss for me. I feel like he relies heavily on a few specific cards that are needed in order to really do well. I also have problems getting good block cards with him. I lose a lot with him but the few times I've gotten a good setup with him he felt really powerful. I've had the most success using star cards for block and some extra damage while buffing the sword up.

There's a power that makes the sword hit all enemies which really boosts him.

The new characters, Regent and Necrobinder, have really interesting play styles. Overall, it's proving to be a great sequel to an already great game.

I just played Azul for the first time and I really like it. The rules are straightforward and it's quick to setup and pack up. It reminds me a lot of Sagrada. (mastodon.world)

I tried to mod Cyberpunk 2077 and it was not a smooth experience. I first tried using Vortex in Bottles but it wouldn't run. I then tried to use ProtonUp-QT but couldn't figure out exactly what to do. (mastodon.world)

I then tried to use ProtonUp-QT but couldn't figure out exactly what to do. I discovered that there's a new NNM AppImage that's early in development that works with Cyberpunk.

I'll have to try again in the future and figure out how ProtonUp-QT, ProtonTricks, Steam Tinker Launcher, etc.

I finished my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. I absolutely love the setting for the game and hopefully they'll make a sequel. Cyberpunk is going to join the very small selection of games I by Dharkstare in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] Dharkstare@mastodon.world 3 points 11 months ago

@BotsRuinedEverything My opinion on games and mods is that the first playthrough should always be vanilla. This allows you to get a feel for what the game is actually like and allows you to provide an honest review for the game. It also lets you know what parts of the game need improvement so you know what mods to look for.

One thing I would suggest is to get the Phantom Liberty expansion. It fits really well with the rest of the game and adds a merchant to buy missed Iconic weapons.

@Cptn_Slow I've only immediately replayed two other games. Mass Effect and Dishonored.

I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com. by Dharkstare in c/books@lemmy.ml

[-] Dharkstare@mastodon.world 6 points 2 years ago

@YurkshireLad I hadn't noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn't see any restrictions so I'm guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.

I recently got the Asia expansion for Wingspan and I've been really enjoying the Duet board. It adds a whole new layer of strategy that really makes you have to pay attention to the birds you're by Dharkstare in c/boardgames@sopuli.xyz

[-] Dharkstare@mastodon.world 1 points 2 years ago

@BloodSlut Besides the usual stuff, it adds Duet Mode (for 2 players) and Flock Mode (for 6-7 players). The Duet Mode adds a duet board that you add pieces to every time you play a bird. The goals from the expansion are all related to the duet board. The placement rules for the duet board really forces you to pay attention to the birds you play.

I was thinking about getting a Steam Deck but I'm not entirely sure if it's better than my GTX 970. I'll have to do more research since there's no point in getting something that isn't an upgrade. by Dharkstare in c/steamdeck@lemmy.ml

@BumpingFuglies You don't have any problems when using it docked? I had read a few posts claiming that running it docked caused it to struggle.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It's the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that's probably accurate.

Something I've noticed while playing [#totk](https://mastodon.world/tags/totk) is that the further I progress, the less I want to fight enemies. It's no big deal killing everything I see when my weapo by Dharkstare in c/games@lemmy.world

@echo64 I think the system wouldn't be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I've only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.
