That seems like it sucks though - it only marks a different mob next to the mob you crit? Wouldn't be that useful against bosses then?

here's a pro tip about learning about the aspects! The game doesn't save until you leave a room, so you can come into the courtyard, spend some titans blood to unlock an aspect and try it out on Skelly, then quit the game, and it'll load at you entering the room again. Just don't leave the room before you quit! Can give you some direction on which ones you want to try first.

That's the thing - base damage for Hangover is 4 per stack every .5 seconds, coming out to 40 per second with all stacks. Doom base damage is 50 per 1.1 seconds, or 45 per second, so even with all stacks out there, Hangover's a little worse. It lasting longer helps, but it also starts up slower, and the damage scaling isn't the greatest either.

Uptime is a big difference maker, I think. For Doom to be competitive at the rate you describe, you have to be constantly reapplying it as soon as it falls off. If you are on top of your target 100% of the time constantly attacking and applying as it falls off, I agree it would be slightly better

But I think the realistic approach is getting to an enemy , hitting it quickly a few times, then moving on to the next enemy or if it's a boss moving away to avoid a mechanic. Then you come back to it. This works out to you coming back to apply more Hangover when it's falling off but with Doom creates several seconds of down time.

I don't think the point of either of these abilities is to be continuously attacking either way. You would just want a straight damage upgrade in that case.

...wow. Does the game give you any indication of this at all? I see now that theres a button prompt, but I would always just grab my weapon and go, there didnt seem to be any reason to go back to the empty slot after I chose one.

Skelly gives one of his classic hints disguised as pointless chatter!

When you pick up a weapon, is there a shadow of the weapon left in it's place?

Cuz I got news for you - those have been there for 9 runs

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Do one more run after you unlock the final weapon and you'll start being able to use Titan's blood. It doesn't trigger until another run for some reason.

Hangover is strong when you can stack it quickly with lots of quick attacks and easily

Like, throwing the shield can spread it around a ton of enemies quickly, but it only puts one stack of hangover unless you spam your shield over and over, which means you can't be attacking with it. So it kinda sucks for throwing. Meanwhile, if you put Doom on your shield throw, your shield will hit everything and do a nice doom explosion on all of them. In that case I think Doom is clearly way better than Hangover.

but if you are hitting something quickly, like with the fists attack combo, or maybe the bow / spear daedelus upgrades that make them attack quickly, you stack it to max stacks basically as soon as you touch something and it'll never really fall off. in those cases it's way stronger than Doom, since those attacks only applies doom once no matter how many times you hit... you have to wait until the Doom expires to apply it again. In that case, I think Hangover is way better than Doom.

So guys
Will AMD ever recover

Recover from what? It's at $83 right now. what did you buy in at? I got in at pretty much the peak of $87.

I think that AMD has been on an upward trend for a year and I think it's going to continue this upward trend. It's been doing very well with desktop CPU's since the Ryzen came on the scene and I think it will maintain or grow that position, which will continue to grow the stock price.

I don't really see the current price as a noteworthy drop at all. Like I mentioned earlier, the price rose significantly two weeks ago from Sep 25 to now from $75 to 87, and I don't think that was natural growth, I think that was a bubble of anticipation for the news of the Zen 3 announcement which inflated the stock price higher than it should have been. Now people who bought because of that anticipation are selling, so it's coming down a bit. It's that buy the rumour sell the news thing gravy mentioned. It doesn't seem that the news was actually interesting enough that it's driving new people to come by the stock, so it's not rising. It's just the rumour buyers trying to get out now.

It's within my expectations that the peak of $87 would fall to around $80. It could even fall down to around $75 which would be a bit disappointing, but that's the reality of a bubble bursting. My doomsday scenario here would have been a freefall to well below $75, like $50 or something. That mighta happened if they announced a graphics card that performs well below what the recently announced NVIDIA cards are doing....

I think natural growth will continue though and it will rise significantly above $87 in the future. It's just going to take a while. If you were hoping for a quick buy and then sell for a profit, that's not happening here.

So story from last night

My buddy exclusively uses the sword every run and has gotten to like 10 heat, and hasnt really tried the other weapons at all, so I got him to try the shield and stream it to me on discord so I could watch. Poseidon trolled him hard by giving him the legendary fishing boon at the beginning and he never got any damage perks at all the entire run except an epic Frost Strikes attack boon from Demeter near the end of Asphodel. He got stomped many times and ended the run at Theseus. It was fun laughing at him the entire run. I even talked him into taking Special buffs from Chaos and the Daedelus hammer, telling him that he's bound to get a special boon soon. Never happened!

I'm the opposite of him and have cleared with every weapon now except the sword which I haven't used since my first or second run, so I started a run with the sword to style on him.

Poseidon gave me the fishing boon to start with....

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

The climb over the last two weeks from $74 or whatever it was makes me nervous, it's definitely at $87 because of anticipation for the announcement. If it spikes quite a bit I'll probably sell for a sick gain and if it drops, I'll hold because this is a stock I woulda bought 2 weeks go for the long term anyways.

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

i cannot beat theseus ;_;

I'm pretty good at handling the minotaur and I try to take him down first, but Theseus and his goddamn spearthrow always hits me wherever I am, even if I'm watching him I usually can't tell exactly when he's going to let it go. Constantly moving doesn't seem to help since he tracks you and fires wherever you are, so you pretty much have to be dashing or deflecting right when he fires. I try to keep a pillar between us but somehow he still hits me often even when I think I'm in cover =(

I think i could beat him if I get to the 1v1 with a good amount of health but I'm always just scraping by once I finish off the minotaur.

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I want to like the spear but it seems that trying to throw it too much or use midrange combat often ends up with me neglecting what's actually happening around my character and getting hit, which is strange because it should be keeping me out of trouble, and I don't have this problem with the bow or gun....

Hey guys, is my image here of the game right?

You start the game and play through it and maybe struggle a bit because you have a lot to learn. As you get better, you can clear through and maybe use different weapons. Eventually, once you've figured out how to deal with all of the enemies and areas and how to use each weapon, you start using mechanics to up the difficulty to keep up the challenge as your own skill and upgrades increase. You keep increasing the challenge to keep the game engaging. I think Heat and Hell Mode are both part of this?

My buddy that got the game with me started on Hell Mode because he's such a cool guy tough gamer. From what I understand that puts like 5 difficulty modifiers onto the game to make it tougher, and once you beat Hell Mode like that, you can make those modifiers even tougher (IE it applies -25% healing but you can crank that up all the way to -100% healing)

So it seems to me that, while starting at Hell Mode is probably valid, it's kinda just putting himself at a further stage of that gameplay loop to start with?

We loosely compete at games but our experiences here aren't directly comparable since he's on a harder difficulty, but I don't think it makes sense to me to jump ahead to Hell Mode right now since that seems like a logical progression I'll take later.

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

Yeah, I've never played creative mode really. I've only played survival mode

The gameplay loop is basically - you start with nothing. You find some wood and rocks. You make some basic wooden and stone tools and a hut out of mud. You dig into the ground and find some copper. You make some better metal tools, and get some nicer materials to build a decent house. You start going into deeper mines and deal with monsters and try to find more valuable materials. Etc

Tack on playing on a server with your buddies where you show eachother how cool your new treehouse is or maybe you mess with eachohter and it's just a lot of good fun.

The creativity aspect really just goes as far as you want. Some times when I get into the game I just make a basic wood house, while my greatest creation was a gigantic stonebrick castle with a lavamoat and lava pouring out the windows, with effigies in the shape of men made of cinderblock that were perpetually on fire. They were on the walls, in most rooms, and floating in the air surrounding the castle. It's just as much as you want to do, limited by the resources you gather. If you have a project in mind, you need to go on resource gathering expeditions and do the crafting necessary to build it.

Not necessarily for everyone but overall a pretty satisfying gameplay loop.

Basic minecraft gameplay loop doesn't last that long but there's tons of addon that enrich the gameplay to give it the depth you need if you want to play it a lot more.

A stock topic is pretty cool, I'll have to start following that

In all seriousness, I've improved my situation lately so I think now is the time to start figuring out investing. The story so far: I've spent the last few years paying down credit card debt and student loans. All high interest debt is gone and my student loans have low interest and the balance is low enough I'm just gonna let them clear out on their own from my $300~ monthly payments each month in the next couple years instead of continuing to focus on paying them down. Same thing with my auto loan. Right now is the first time I've ever been networth positive so I'm comfortable making this change in focus.

I keep a $3k balance in my chequeing account, which I use to pay off my credit cards every month which is where I pay for everything. I have $13k in savings account. My intent is to maintain $3k in chequeings and $10k in savings and then anything extra will go into whatever investment I want. I expect to get around $1k or more every month to put towards investing, and I also expect to get a $12k windfall in the next few months.

I think in the short term, I want to take a look at all the possible things I can invest in and weigh the pros and cons. Some I have an understanding of, some I have no clue what they are. Some topics to think about I have right now are:

Mutual funds, ETFs, Index funds, GIC's, Bonds, TFSAs, RRSPS, dividend paying stock, growth stocks, crypto, or physical value retaining assets.

Some of those might even be a different term for the same thing and I don't even know! Buying a rental property with some partners is also a possibility but won't happen for probably 2 years at least so I'm not just going to save money for that right now.

I think my intent is to end up with a list of a things I find worthwhile and, presuming the windfall comes through, put $2-3k in each of them and monitor how they do and how happy I am with the actual process of using that vehicle.

If anyone has any thoughts on any of those topics or investment vehicles I didn't list I'd love to hear them.

Right now what I don't want to do is just put all of my money in one long term investment and keep it there and then put all new money there. That might be what I end up doing later, but not till I'm satisfied that's the best choice.

I used Virtual Brokers a few years ago because they had very low transactional fees but they started slamming me with $45 inactivity fees if i didn't trade in a quarter which was not sustainable for me at the time so I GTFO.

wait what is this post supposed to mean

does board 8 see Minecraft as a "normie" game that true gamers like us don't play?

IMO, gamers were what played the game before it took off with normies, and my experience is that many many gamer communities end up going back to it by starting up a new server ever couple years. The game becoming a gigantic sensation with kids and regular people was a real pleasant surprise since such a creative outlet is probably the best case scenario for a game reaching that level of success.

This isn't candy crush or something... I think Minecraft is pretty universally loved by all segments

I will say playing with B8 is a lot different than playing with my friends.

With my friends the deduction process is more like, "Okay, they said there were in this area after the oxygen went out, but this person was nearby and didn't see them run by, so let's agree they're kind of suspicious..." but here it's like "I was watching people at admin and this person said they completed a task in the engine room but they were only in there for 5 seconds when that task should take 8.5 seconds. Combining this with the fact that the task they said they did couldn't have been generated alongside the task they said they did earlier means we can positively identify them as the murderer with 100% certainty. Gg."

Gonna push back on this one, I don't think this is accurate to board 8 at all.

I watch a lot of streamer lobbies, since I think watching them is almost as fun as actually playing and I can do it while focusing on other things. There's always a bit of task meta when everybody has a lot of experience and knowledge, but there's only a few lobbies I've seen that reach even close to the level described here

Like here's an example of Summit getting mad about it from Train calling it out. Some players like Train relish in this kind of observation, but I don't think it's true for a lot of players or the only way to play the game.

https://clips.twitch.tv/InexpensiveTameAlpacaTBTacoRight

I've complained about this kind of task meta a bit here already, so I find really fine details like Train pointed out to be too far.... but board 8 thankfully is really baby mode on that kind of thing so far. I think the most impactful task meta has been "i can confirm blue did the medbay scan before me, it told me" which is really basic >_>

I played with a different lobby even worse at it last night that had a lot of first and second time players, and when people tried to task meta they were usually just straight up wrong about it like saying "i saw you do wires and the task bar didn't go up!" when wires doesn't contribute to task bar until you do the last one. So there is traps in task meta. It was a fun lobby though. I got imposter in the first round and killed players in obscure enough locations that no meetings were called until I won the game. Fun lobby, gave me my first imposter win ^_^

That's like saying just to not have anxiety while playing these types of games. My mind is just going a mile a minute and filled with so many different things and being worried about everything.

I guess I'll just stop having anxiety >_>

Replying to this might be a bad idea but here goes <_<

I don't know that I want to start a whole discussion about mental health here, but I'd say that, no, this isn't saying not to have anxiety, this more like saying you can develop techniques and learned behaviors to manage your anxiety. I can give examples of that but maybe that would be best done in DM's or somewhere else.

In regards to memory, you just want to perform some simple repetitive exercises to keep a small number of things in focus, A simple example would be repeating a few things you see to yourself out loud or in your head. If I see red13 and sytha in weapons, if I get to the meeting I might forget who I saw in weapons. so next time I see that, i'll just repeat that to myself, "red13 and sytha in weapons", "red13 and sytha in weapons" while I'm running around. If I end up seeing ermine in navigation, i might add that to my repeat. " i saw red13 and sytha in weapons, ermine in nav," "red13 and sytha in weapons, ermine in nav". I might see other people but I won't add everybody to the mantra.

When I get to the meeting... i don't remember everything I saw, but if red died.... i can at least contribute that i saw red13 and sytha in weapons.

Maybe this it sounds dumb or just really basic but i actually do this, if you guys could hear me the entire time between meetings you'd be hearing this shit non stop.

It might not put me on the same level as what everyone else seems to be doing, but it doesn't really matter. It's an improvement at a part of the game i have trouble with, like any other skill.

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I completely agree with FD. (well, I do think "meta gaming" about tasks is way too unfavoured for imposters due to game knowledge, but it's a reasonable part of the game)

It's not 7 minutes of random walking. I spend the entire time between discussions pushing my brain to 150% capacity trying to remember everybody I see, what direction they went when I lost them, and who they were with. Then when discussion comes, I forget like 80% of what I saw. Was that a brown player or an orange player that came out of the room with the body? I saw red13 and another player at weapons.... who was the other player again??? Maybe I'll ask him at the meeting. Everybody has a piece of the puzzle of what events occurred between meetings, and they probably don't remember or interpret everything they saw correctly. Meeting time is when everybody tries to contribute their flawed puzzle pieces and we try to fit them all together. This is also imposter's opportunity to contribute completely made up puzzle pieces to confuse the picture for everyone, or to contribute their own rock solid truthful pieces to appear like they are crew. Town tries to vote based on their incomplete picture and imposter just tries to keep that picture as vague as possible.

I think this is really engaging gameplay loop, especially with voice to keep discussions moving quickly. This might be the most enjoyable mafia game I've played.

Board mafia was obviously awesome with tons of strategic depth, but required so much of a time commitment I just couldn't do it sustain it after a couple years (though I really treasure the memories I have of those games!). AIMfia I just never enjoyed because I could not keep up with reading the chat as it flew by and actually contribute to discussion at the same time. Town of Salem was a neat game but good discussion didn't really seem possible to me. In person Mafia is fun but I rarely get groups for those and the groups I have are typically a bunch of heart on their sleeve drunks.... which is a ton of fun but never really scratched the strategic itch I like in these games.

Honestly, despite a few rough edges I think Among Us is really great.

god tier 3rd imposter play

---

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

I think saying that's completely missing in Among Us is way off base. Tasks give players something to do to keep them moving them around, and to split the group up to create opportunities for the imposters. If you speedrun all your tasks, you'll be done them very quickly, but it also will isolate you from everyone else and make you an easy target for murder. As a result, players don't want to get picked off alone and instead spend a lot of time taking long detours or following other players around. This leads to suspicious behavior like watching what other players are doing. It creates plenty of space for weird actions that needs to be explained.

I do think tasks can be a bit awkward when it comes to faking. A newer player just doesn't know enough about the tasks to believably fake them, and even a pro imposter has a tough time fooling a crewmate that knows every task perfectly. But there's still a lot of room to maneuver for both sides.

What do you guys think of Voyager at this point?

I went from liking it as a teenager, to disliking it later, to appreciating it again.

As a teenager, I watched Voyager reruns ALL THE TIME. Honestly, I liked everything from TNG/DS9/VOY. But I wouldn't say I loved any of those shows. My dad was a massive fan, but to me it was just one of many shows I watched and it was something that came on and I just consumed that content to pass the time. I watched Voyager the most just because that's what stations where I live (AB Canada) were playing most often. I rarely watched TOS because it was never playing except in the morning on days when I stayed home from school.

Then later as an adult I started to really appreciate what makes Star Trek so great. Before that I was just watching it because it's cool scifi before without really appreciating all the thought that goes into the series at large and episode concepts in particular. However, I also started to realize how much Voyager just falls short at episode concepts in particular compared to TNG and DS9. So despite my appreciation for Star Trek at large massively increasing... I started disliking Voyager.

Also I watched the first season of Enterprise when it aired and didn't like it, it didn't feel like Trek to me, and never kept watching. Naming it that was an automatic strike against it for me too.

But now with CBS Trek..... I really appreciate Voyager. The writing is definitely below the standards of TNG and DS9, but I have to give it a lot of credit for being definitively Star Trek. I think I appreciate it now more than I ever have before.

Even Enterprise gets some more credit for me than CBS Trek... but I'm probably still not going to bother finishing it.

iv never really given TOS a chance lol

The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG

this is funny

any decent game these days would obviously do skill based match making...

but i do get the appeal of wanting stomps. it's just fun to own and exult in how good you are at the game. it sucks being reminded every game that you actually are the one that sucks because you play against other players of your level or better. i remember having so much fun in the Overwatch beta because nobody knew what they were doing so you could own a bunch of people if you figured out what you were doing. A year after release, everybody has figured out what they are doing.... so I'm struggling to keep up cause i actually suck at games. It was more fun when I was winning! Now I'm always struggling. It's the same in pretty much any game, like Valorant now. It's fun for me early when everyone sucks and I can win, but when everyone is good and I don't put in a ton of effort to keep up, it can feel like smashing my head into a wall.

So being able to be matched up with some noobs and own them can feel nice. Queuing up some dumb arcade mode and owning noobs because there isn't much match making in there feels good.

...but ultimately it's a false feeling. you aren't winning because you are good. You are just winning because you are playing against players who never really had a chance against you. They are having a bad experience because they have no chance, and you are denying yourself the chance to improve your skills by playing against other players of your skill. You can't progress your ability if you constantly play against bad players who can't beat you... you have to play against other good players and lose, so you can figure out why you lost and be better next time.

That tweet by that bowlingballs guy is absolutely hysterical because he could not possibly be more wrong
