also look at this deck... really? I was under the impression that kitasan is meta, Spe & Flash are pretty good speed cards for late surgers and I use them, a friend told me I should use Manhattan Cafe because it's underrated and one of the best Stamina cards, and we all know Super Creek was meta..

"I like it when girls kiss, but only when they do it to put on a SHOW for me, not when they LOVE EACH OTHER"

praying for more (dynamic) RNG systems as failsafes!

![A partial twitter thread from Nick Popovich (Slime Rancher development) posted originally on 3 July 2018 on twitter, that reads:
"And since I mentioned luck... Being lucky feels good, so LIE. There's nothing wrong with fudging random systems to come out in the players favor at key moments. Heck, you can even display false %'s so long as it's not cheating out another player. Game design is full of LIES.
That all becomes very important because of this simple equation:
[Random + Time = Frustration]
It sucks to bang your head against true randomness and not get the outcome you want. So make your drop rates for loot or whatever change over time based on player effort.
Systems like that are great because a player can still get lucky and get the thing early, but worst case they eventually get the thing when you've decided it still feels good. Again, randomness is no excuse! You made the game. Be responsible with your players' time.

it's pretty insane and involves getting lucky with the early 'sales' aligning with the upgrades I am looking for, but; this was my loadout entering into it haha
basically I am always looking to max out medkits FAST no matter what; then a bit of survivability from either 1x max hlth, or the shields

#VinTJGames I am so proud of this haha... I've been grinding Overbold in UFO 50 for DAYS basically.. because I keep believing that 9K score is possible after doing some calculations... never thought today would be the day, I thought I might need to play another solid week or half before I get it-

if we're talking about on-platform playtime.. I'm sure some people have me beat and I play slightly less in recent years, but hey. it's been a LOT of fun years!
wonder if I'll even reach 1k this year, it's doable, but I get very easily distracted by other stuff 😅

ok maybe it 'was' temporary, but notice how this cuts off at less than 5k. curious. almost like that's exactly the line when it starts breaking down, lol..

lol, it broke
wonder if this is just a temporary hiccup or it will forever be lost. like, maybe I can't ever see the list of games I follow anymore via steam? I can only hope steamdb's 'sale' filters still detects which 5k games I follow and show up all of them, instead of 'missing' some titles.

I have fallen further into depravity and decided to, a few days ago, mass-purchase things on JAST
my purchase impulses on steam are already bad and averaging 6 unplayed games per month but well.. this is a new low for me... (good)

my favorite is discovering that Wall Mimics can be inside the Chamber 1 Furnace... what are the odds!
other than that pretty standard stuff. First time no-hitting Chamber 4 bosses, killing pasts, beating Double Beholster in general are all fun times too!
