It’s not cheating. It’s just uninteresting in play except in the context of hyper-maximizing and exploiting one extremely narrow probability chart among a sea of billions as a demonstration.
The hobby here is creating these showcases from the seeds. There are billions and billions of such showcases that one could make.
You’re cheating relative to the other players with high scores on the leaderboard.
Don’t the leaderboards separate chosen seeds from normal play?
(I’ve never looked at the leaderboards).
If I were them, choosing a seed would make your run ineligible for a leaderboard. At MOST, I’d consider keeping a leadboard for the top 10 most common seeds, each with its own rankings and still separate from the normal leaderboards.
I have no idea. I’m just saying, that I don’t respect that high score when the player has access to information that is supposed to be hidden.
Agreed. Unless there is a high score category for chosen seeds specifically.
Like an “anything goes” league in an esport.
How well the iOS UI would function on an OG iPhone SE? I would love to slay spires on the go, but I worry there’s too much to cram onto such a medium sized screen.
Speaking of Slay the Spire ON THE GO
Excellent blog post. The seed search repo is especially interesting.
When I see snecko i in the middle of an ironclad run, I always take it
because then he’s ironiclad.
Today I learned that the “gain x stat, at the end of the turn lose x stat” cards work by applying a buff to you, and also a debuff that fires at the end of your turn.
So if you have an artifact in play, it applies the buff, e.g. “Gain 5 strength”, applies the debuff, artifact cancels it, and then you keep the buff for the rest of the fight.
I just realized the thing in the end of act 4 cutscene is Neow. 6 eyes:
6 eyes:
Are we sure Neow is good?
No. We are not sure. But he brings us back. What choice do we have?
Pretty sure Neow is a she. Some of the events refer to her… and us as one of her playthings.
If I get the weird god whale’s preferred gender wrong, so be it.
Somehow I got to ascension 10 without ever having upgraded my entire deck. This has changed.
As in, every card you had was upgraded?
I have not downloaded, but this looks interesting:
Oh shit I want to play with these data.
Rats, I checked and the license specifically forbids people who use data as plural from using it.
