    Ugh, I got about "this close" to getting to 400 on the first run of the annihilation. I got the last boss dude down to like 15% on his second life, and just couldn't quite bring it home :(

    Me, after hitting 200 kills and the fireball guy shows up: "FUCK"

    So yeah I had to get rid of the gimmicks ;(

    I nailed the 400 but no shenanigans allowed booooo

    This was the strat I used:

    It works stupidly well. Like a couple mins of setup and then just let it run for the next 15 mins or whatever (Annihilations are way too long)

    Eh, the podcast is provided to you for free. Yes, they're going to run ads, and yes, they're going to want podcast audience metrics, just like any kind of media wanting ratings to know its effectiveness. Getting good metrics from podcasts is actually still a huge challenge and why there are now a billion ads in every podcast you listen to, because it's the only way to get decent money.

    It's why Spotify is trying really hard to turn itself into a podcast platform because they can provide metrics to the podcasts that go through Spotify.

    I'd opine that there would actually be *fewer* ads in podcasts if there was a better, more universal way to get better listening metrics. If podcasters/advertisers had better knowledge of how many people actually listen to an episode instead of just going off of downloads, ad rates would go up, which could mean say, 3 ads instead of 5 to make the same money.

    It really is a problem that needs a solution.

    Thorns, Murdock, and Blue Poison were my core for this one. Thorns can take out Mandragora(?) before she moves at E2 75 S3M3.

    I threw in Mizuki too as more damage to the mid lane in front of Mudrock but it wasn’t strictly needed.

    FINALLY!!!

    srpk7ii5olgi.jpg

    Didn't have anything too amazing for artifacts, just a bunch of +hp ones, and the one that stops him regenerating. Which just allowed me to tank the falling debris with some healing. Kal'sit was able to solo the left side, while I loaded up on dps on the right.

    Just finally got around to watching this movie.

    And now I'm kicking myself for not watching it sooner.

    This is a f*ckin amazing movie.

    There's so many parts I love. One amongst so many: somehow, a movie that actually gets how the multiverse works. And then not just gets it but builds on that with the idea of intentionally doing something totally off-the-wall to intentionally branch yourself into a reality closer to where you're trying to get to. Like, that's so goddamn ridiculous and yet makes total sense somehow all at once and I LOVE IT.

    And yet AND YET in a movie that has something that awesome, it pales in comparison to TWO ROCKS ON A CLIFF.

    And YET in a movie that has something so awesome as the scene of two rocks talking, it one-ups that with GOOGLY EYES ON THE ROCK.

    THERE ARE NO RULES!!

    AAAAAK!

    How does this thread only have one page!?

    Investing in Honeyberry a bit earlier was good timing for this Annihilation. I also decided to use Rosa just because the spacing of the level is perfect for it, so this was her first time being of use.

    There just isn't much argument about this movie. It's astonishingly good, and almost everyone who's seen it agrees. It's not like a Marvel or DC flick where folks have FEELINGS about how faithful it was to the comics or whatever.

    Also, I think we got most of our reactions out in the [Movies] thread.

    Cleared the main story of Chapter 9 since we have this breathing time between events at the moment. It was amusing running into the boss "for the first time" well aware of their gimmicks and how to kill them (they honestly are tougher in the story, though). I still have a bunch of challenge stages and hard difficulty levels to complete, but I'd also be kind of disappointed if I'd done literally all the content and could only wait for more.

    Wait are the new characters out? I swear this is like the one game where I just get blindsided by this shit. You kind of have to go digging deep in the news to even tell when new stuff is coming and then when it's here there isn't like a splash screen or anything to tell you. It's so weird and this is like the only game I've seen act that way. (I swear, at the minimum can't you guys add like a "new" to the Headhunting button? :P)

    Oh yeah, I saw that notification too (honestly I think that's how I finally noticed this.. I was surprised to see a little orange diamond on that tab). I don't know how I missed this when they first added it (I guess I haven't looked at this page since then?) but man, this one took way too long. It has always annoyed me that the one page you want to know Trust on is like the hardest one to figure it out with. This is such a nice QoL upgrade.

    Now if only they'd actually do something with the base itself... I must have a bazillion of those building materials at this point with literally nothing to spend them on :P Add some more rooms! Even if they're just "for fun" rooms of some sort (give me more stuff to decorate :3)

    Raise Nine-Colored Deer to at least E1, then have her play around with the building blocks in the Workshop. When she is going to turn over to 40 "points" (pay attention to the unique icon she gets in that room), have her make a 4 cost Elite Material, she'll generate something else guaranteed as a bonus. Repeat as her stamina allows.
