BlueCrystalTear 04/21/23 10:43:08 PM #11:	I voted "Boss battles" but my honest answer is "That one goddamn boss that is giving you fits."

paperwarior 04/21/23 10:46:46 PM #12:	Limited-supply items are kind of dumb because they encourage hoarding even when it isn't even useful. But then you can usually get by just fine without them. I think the best use case is actually spamming elixirs for healing on the final or optional boss, because they provide the most benefit there and you won't need them afterward. --- "God Hand is the ultimate expression of the joy of humanity, specifically the punching part of the joy of humanity."-Shigeru Miyamoto <cite>paperwarior posted [p:972998052] in When is th...

Underleveled 04/21/23 11:37:47 PM #13:	If I'm at the end of a long boss battle and close to death I won't hesitate. Alternatively, if I'm on my third try of a boss, it's probably time to whip them out. Of course, if I'm on the final boss, everything I've hoarded comes out as necessary because why the hell not? --- darkx Games beaten in 2023 - 4; Most recent - Pushmo <cite>Underleveled posted [p:972998724] in When is th...
