Since he profits off of his youtube videos he can technically count in-game purchase as a tax write-off. If he gets audited he would just need to prove that the purchases were essential to his business (making youtube videos) and he could show the money he made from the videos.

Considering the views he gets I'm sure he's doing fine either way

He's already rainbow and I have 5 dupes sitting in my box already

:-(

Also he's a support card that hits like a wet noodle I doubt his EZA is going to help unless he gets like a 200% ATK buff or something.

Weekend summon results: 13 SR and SSR Toppo

for the 2nd week in a row

They did the tri-class cards in the past but that felt more like restricted neutral cards versus being able to use cards from a different class.

The deckbuilding in Runeterra is so much better I really can't stress enough how much fun that game is compared to current Hearthstone. One day I lost like 5 games in a row in Runeterra and I could point to specific misplays I had that could have turned the game around. Losing a game in Hearthstone nowadays just doesn't feel good because so often it's out of your control.

skull

I'll give it a shot eventually but I also can't take Lin Manuel Miranda seriously in most of his roles. He's a nice guy and I like him as a person but he gives off a real dork energy in most of his performances. It feels like those high school actors who put on a weird stage voice when they're performing.

I'm open to watching it eventually though

I think they need to nerf highlander more because it's stale versus being overpowered. It's not a fun novelty anymore and with the power of the support cards they've made it's barely even a restriction at this point.

I know they're probably hesitant to make more cards based around deckbuilding after the even/odd fiasco but highlander needs to move on already as a concept.

Personally I think they could re-invigorate Hearthstone by allowing you to use cards from 2 classes instead of one. It would basically be a brand new game at that point! Runeterra uses that system and it creates so many more opportunities for creative decks it's honestly crazy that Hearthstone still uses such a simple system.

I'm a theater fan and I've never seen Hamilton but I also don't have a strong desire to see it either. Something about rapping musicals comes off as really cringe to me.

Tobi has basically been the #1 Dota caster for the last 15 years so yeah I think he's probably more well known than Nairo but it depends on the community obviously

---

skull

I called someone an old person for being a slow typist and got modded for ageism.

---

skull

Wow Tobiwan too? He always gave off a sort of Michael Cole, "I'm better than you" vibe so that one's not too surprising I guess.

skull

I only really knew him from the Hearthstone meme where he missed lethal but that's a shame. He seemed like a nice guy, RIP.

That's when you just start filling your team with tanks like STR SSJ3 Vegeta, TEQ Golden Freiza (maybe he wouldn't work since Trunks is INT), or AGL Super Vegito

PHY
Extreme AGL
Extreme INT

Those 3 categories don't have any damage reduction when attacking so you could try building a movie bosses team or something with some tanky AGL/INT characters too

---

skull

This is the team I used to beat level 30

PHY Transforming Vegeta
PHY Kale
AGL LR Gohan
INT LR Gohan
PHY SSB Vegito
PHY EZA Trunks
PHY Beerus friend

Try to use AGL or INT exploding rage cards if you run out of good PHY cards

---

skull

Yeah that's fucked about Nairo. He was one of my favorites

---

Did another multi on Nappa because I was feeling an LR on the next multi. Ended up with an LR STR Broly dupe so I'm satisfied I spent stones on that dumb banner.

Sheldon could tell jokes until the T-Rex loses his will to live and starts bashing his head against a rock or something I guess.

Finally an EZ-area I can actually do without investing anything. The most recent EZ-area was a mess with all of the useless units you need to invest into

---

skull

Pretty sure that's bugged out and she's not actually available in the Bulma stage even though it says she is. You can get her from one of the GT events though

---

skull

Oh I guess I could farm the Bulma event for Whis drops but I really hate doing that stage. Feels like it takes forever and you can run it like 20 times with a full stamina bar. Feels like it takes an hour per stamina bar to grind that stage and you have to actually focus to land on the right item squares.

---

skull

Finally done with that Krillin Grind. Not sure what to do now, maybe start farming those EZA units for LR Goku but that's a long time away

---

Or my Zapp can't kill Baron before HIS parrot goes off. Or his cleave kills 2 of my units before my parrot can buff them. I feel like Ulti but man I wish you guys could see some of the awful replays I've had in BG today

I've lost literally 5 battlegrounds games today where I would have kept going (and probably won) if I attacked first.

I need to install that plug-in that tells you your win chances because I swear I've had the absolute worst luck lately with BG

Seven's weapons are also all anti-mechon by nature I believe.

Again it's stupid but agree to disagree about his intent I guess. If he didn't think there was anything wrong with it of course they'd do it multiple times. If someone told him it was a bad idea or he got a warning and THEN he kept doing it that would be one thing.

"Don't film in a bathroom" seems obvious when you spell it out but if I were in the same position I might have made the same mistake. His entire apology could have been "whoops, my bad. won't happen again" in my opinion.

Not defending the guy but people are hating the wrong parts of his personality.

---

skull

The bathroom thing is overblown in my opinion because it seems obvious they just weren't thinking about it. Like he didn't intentionally take a camera into the bathroom to be edgy, his cameraman was just stupid and followed him in. I guess you could be mad at him for being stupid or not hiring a good enough cameraman but to put it on the same level as "cheated on his wife" just seems like you're trying to find reasons to dislike him.

There are already plenty of reasons to dislike him, you don't need to pretend like you're mad about him accidentally filming in a bathroom to make more!

---

skull

Toppo is an important EZA because he uses Jiren medals to dokkan awaken. They've never given an EZA to one of those "35 medals" unit directly. It's always included as a secondary thing like AGL and INT Golden Freiza.

So yeah no rules for EZA anymore basically.

---

skull

I mean it felt pretty obvious who the spoiler was considering that Fiora gets a combat tutorial and she's in the game for all of an hour. I wasn't spoiled that there was a 7th party member but I was still expecting the 7th to join

skull

Best thing about new Krillin is that he's on Representatives of Universe 7 so you can run him with TEQ Android 18. That team is too stacked though

new LR SSBKK Goku and SSBE Vegeta

translations here:

That LR is BUSTED. Greatly raises attack on 18 ki, 70% attack passive with a nuker bonus AND guaranteed additional attacks with rainbow orbs. Don't know if those additional attacks can super or not but jeeez this card needs to chill out.

also new Krillin

He posted this on twitter 30 minutes ago:

"Champions Club,

Twitch has not notified me on the specific reason behind their decision... Firm handshakes to all for the support during this difficult time.

-Dr Disrespect"

From that clip it looked pretty obvious he knew he was getting banned or was in trouble (even if it was an act) so IDK

---

skull

All of his sponsors suspended their banners and ad campaigns featuring him but they're all back up now.

https://www.gamerevolution.com/game-culture/651326-dr-disrespect-twitch-ban-sponsors

Maybe not so serious after all? Current rumors are that he's breaking his twitch contract to go elsewhere and he was trying to poach other streamers from twitch. That doesn't line up with the leakers saying this is serious though.

It seems like that's just the standard when a game has a spoiler-y character join. It's the same thing in Dragon Quest XI with Eight referring to a certain character

I don't think it does. There's also no tutorial on the tension mechanic which I kept forgetting to look up how it works. I finally googled it after I beat the game and it would have been some useful information!

Iconoclasts is not a Metroidvania.

Why not? It definitely has some Metroidvania elements unless there's some silly gatekeeping reason you don't consider it one.

I think that particular challenge might only require a B even. Some of them definitely only need a B

Yeah I'm just going to try my luck with a Super PHY team. Only exploding rage characters I have on Super PHY is SSJ2 Sayaiman Gohan (which I rainbowed for some reason) and Kale.

How do you deal with enemies blocking/dodging all of your attacks when you're underleveled? I found that if I was like 5+ levels under an enemy then I literally couldn't do any damage to them.

You just sold me on Shantae tbh, a nice 4-6 hour metroidvania sounds lit

I mean don't get me wrong the Shantae games are quality but a little hollow. Other shortish Metroidvanias that are worth playing:

Momodora (4-6 hours)

Iconoclasts (10-12 hours but it has a pretty involved story)

Outland (fantastic game, 4-6 hours, I think it's not on Steam though)

Game beated. Pretty good stuff! The combat really does not evolve from the first fight to the last fight which is a bit of a bummer in a JRPG but I didn't find myself losing interest. I don't have any motivation to do any post game quests or anything though.

I played about 30 minutes of the epilogue and I'm not sure if I'm going to bother with that either.

Final Verdict: 8/10

That Alien Baseball game actually looks pretty good for $4.

This. If an enemy has Spike, chances are they are very susceptible to Topple, and tons of characters have good Topple setups (Shulk, Dunban, and Reyn are a great team for this). If you're having trouble Toppling them during the normal course of the fight, try it during a Chain Attack. Much easier to Topple em then.

No what I meant was like some enemies just have spike all the time and some enemies ONLY have spike when you topple them. The always-on spike enemies are weak but the "spikes only when toppled" enemies deal crazy damage with their spike ability. So just don't topple those enemies

---

skull

The $5 off $30 is only for your first purchase and it doesn't stack (no $10 off $60).

That's pretty lame considering how generous the Epic Games coupons have been for their sales.

---

skull

In my experience spike damage is not very high if they have it baseline. If you're dealing with an enemy who has spike damage when they get toppled then it does a fuckload of damage for some reason. I've never had an issue with spike damage unless it came from a toppled monster

---

skull

What is the default in the Remastered version? Is it the original or the new? I'll need to switch to the other option and try those too

---

skull

Here's my big recommendation:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/449610/Monster_Boy_and_the_Cursed_Kingdom/

It's like Shantae minus all of the weird horny stuff and it's also 15-20 hours to 100% instead of the typical 4-6 from Shantae games.

---

skull

The only advantage would be setting up topple/daze situations more effectively I guess. If the AI is freely using their skills you might not even be able to do that and if they're NOT freely using their skills then they're useless in combat without switching.

They'd probably need to redesign the combat to add more synergy if you could switch characters. Might as well just make it turn based at that point in my opinion.
