R.E.M. poster, have you seen, I saw the TV glow?
They mentioned Michael Stipe.
I literally think if you search the script, the expression Michael Stipe shows up two
times. First, someone like Michael Stipe and then I believe someone replies, I like Michael
Stipe. It might be your favorite movie.
CS2 today? Yep, if you're watching this tomorrow, if you are watching this tomorrow, there will
be CS2 today. Also, if you are watching this tomorrow, this is a VOD, bro. Shit, what's
the fucking future like bro oh fuck oh shit I said what's the future like I
did not say what's the price of crude oil I said what's the fucking future like
bro
do not get it twisted
That is true, chat is the often time, that's the logical extension of
boomerism. Tomorrow, I'm not even sure we'll be around then. You really think
we're gonna make it to tomorrow? Nah bro, you think you're silver chair? They
already did that shit in like 1996 or whatever.
Can I say they didn't have to go that hard on the guy's weight in Tomorrow by Silver
Chair.
Why did they go so hard on his weight?
Real?
New games?
I need new games?
Is your name really the Schmechel Godfather?
Holy shit, man.
No, I'm not trying to, like,
it's just kind of mind-boggling to read that in 2026.
Along with the message,
I need new games in all caps.
Your name's the Schmechel Godfather?
You don't feel bad for making like a 37-year-old father
read that message?
like, what's wrong with you, man?
Every time you type a message, it also
has that prefix at the start of it.
That's fucking crazy, man.
That's insane.
You know that's insane, right?
I thought you were 21.
Much like Justice Smith in I Saw the TV Glow,
I'm kind of every age between 14 and 44 simultaneously.
And the only really thing that changes
and denotes that 20 years have gone by
is how fucking chapped my lips get, bro.
That they were fucking real for that.
Now that I'm old and busted, my lips get chapped as fuck,
bro, to an insane degree.
Didn't rate it though.
So here's what happened.
It's 100 minutes long.
I watched 90 minutes on the bike,
and then I said, I got to finish that,
but I have 10 minutes left.
Got home, hit play to finish the movie,
and it turns out I did not have 10 minutes left.
I had eight seconds left.
Literally, not to spoil the ending,
but someone walks out of a room,
and then the credits play.
And then I went, oh, I have a minute and a half
before the stream starts.
But I feel very confident that I'm going to give it
a five out of five and a heart.
And I think that it's, right now to me,
it feels destined to be one of the most enduring films
of the 2020s.
It feels impossible that in 20 years,
people won't be like, this is a movie from that decade
that needs to still be in the conversation.
And the director has a lot of discussion
about how the director obviously understands
terminally online culture.
And that's valid, for sure.
That's authentic.
But really, between this and we are all
going to the World's Fair, also a serious appreciation
for that period of the sunset of childhood
between the seventh grade and the 10th grade,
where getting exposed to one piece of media,
like a creepypasta or a young adult novel series or the TV show or something like that
could take on religious significance that has like outsized emotional impact on you
for the rest of your life.
I think that they, like a hundred percent they knocked it out of the park there, even
though the movie's not a hundred percent relatable to me, I think it's a hundred percent authentic
for sure.
you a recontextualization of anthems for a 17 year old girl to fire soundtrack
Malouman let's bury the hatchet let's let bygones be bygones
Malouman we love you we love you did you see Dan stream this morning no I was
watching, I was watching, I saw the TV glow, Malouman, we loved, we love, I saw the TV
glow, don't we people, we love it. By the way, me giving it a five out of five means
officially and this is going to be horrible information for you, it means officially I'm
more of an ally than Chibli who gave it a three out of five and watched it on an airplane.
I don't give a fuck if you thought I was homophobic
because I watched Gregorocky's The Doom Generation
and gave it a two and a half out of five.
I'm gonna watch Nowhere Tomorrow
and we're gonna see where it goes.
He watched, I saw the TV glow on an airplane
and gave it a three out of five.
I literally, I drink his allyship.
I reach my letterbox score across the culture, and it goes into your movie.
And I drink your allyship, Chibli.
I drink it up!
He also had to change his review because he didn't get the trans allegory.
Is that why his review just says, um, I need to rewatch this because I saw it drunk on
an airplane?
Honestly, that makes me have a lot of sympathy for Chivley.
I can't imagine posting a three star review of I saw the TV glow and being like, I don't
I don't understand, I don't understand the hype and then like the turning your phone
off and going to bed and then waking up in the morning and checking the comments.
Oh my God, can you imagine the heart rate spike on that one?
I literally, I mean, she of course can do nothing wrong.
That's crazy.
That's my goat right there.
Sorry, I'm drinking an iced Americano.
One of the best coffee drinks.
By the way, someone told me last night that an ice brown sugar shaken oat espresso is
There's literally three shots of espresso, three pumps of brown sugar, and like 400 milliliters
of oat milk.
No wonder it feels like a fucking dequelate when you drink it, bro.
When they told me that, I was like, no wonder you feel awesome after you drink an ice brown
sugar oat shake and espresso, bro.
There's three fucking shots of espresso in it.
That's insane, man.
That's awesome.
You got, you got a shot of espresso sticking out of your neck.
What?
Fuck Mary kill.
We are all going to the way we should start the video like that.
Fuck Mary kill.
We are all going to the World's Fair.
I saw the TV glow and old school.
That's a tough one, bro.
That's kind of the holy trinity of movies to base your identity around, I mean, we're
definitely fucking old school for sure, bro.
Without a doubt.
Fuck old school.
old school, play as the ironclad, top 10 movies to vape to.
Would you believe, I mean, you're like, yes, we told you, we told you, we believed it 10
years ago, we believe it even more now.
Would you believe I've never taken a hit off of a vape?
I don't even know what it's like, bro.
I mean, if we're in the vape Olympics, I'm getting mauled by like sixth graders.
With God as my witness, I've never, I've never touched my mouth to a vaporizer.
have no idea what it's like. Strike and defend, you know what I'm thinking? Strike and defend,
maybe look for a perfect strike. Upgraded attacks deal three additional damage. Can
I ask you a question, and Centennial puzzle is pretty good. Can I ask you a question about
miniature cannon. If you have something like a perfected strike, for example,
that does three additional damage per strike in your deck, does that make it do six additional
damage per one in your deck? It doesn't scale twice as fast. Okay, so it's a scalar addition.
but on multi hits this like definitely makes a multi hit better like a twin
strike or a whirlwind or okay all right all right that's good man I'm I'm
choosing to believe that that's awesome let's get as many card rewards as we
can here
this fight kind of sucks when you don't have an awesome attack in your deck I
I see you're no longer half-cat, time to pay the toll.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got, uh, I think I got grandfathered in to being able to walk in my own house without having to pay a peanut M&M.
Every single time I passed from the kitchen into the living room, which is huge for me, because, again, that's pretty much like...
I mean, to be honest, it's basically the whole house.
through apart from apart from the bedrooms that's pretty much the whole
damn house so yeah I'll be making a lot of cross-border trips from the bed or
from the kitchen of the living room no doubt about that it's got to be twin
strike man
you enjoy that sit in boy we're getting we're gonna start it early today you
You enjoyed the Fred Durst cameo and I saw the TV glow?
No, not my Fred Durst saying, isn't that a girl's show?
Fred, that's heteronormative, bro.
Plus, keep your eyes on the road, scumbag.
Anyway, great movie, though.
Great movie.
You don't got internet.
Keep rolling, buddy.
You know what?
Armament seems like it might help us out
with getting upgraded attacks.
Good bash, kid.
The guy who gets Fred Durst and Robert Durst confused, is this anything?
Yeah, bro, it's like everybody in my chat, to be honest with you.
Every time you mention Robert Durst, everyone just types okay partner, keep on rolling baby,
you know what time it is.
You wouldn't be typing that shit if you knew what Robert Durst did man.
I do think, I do think we want AOE.
Fred Durst shower thought, wait no sorry, wrong direction.
Robert Durst's shower thought is crazy, man.
I don't know what happened.
I don't think I've ever seen you guys get to live for two turns.
What did I do?
I lipped all their biscuits, of course.
Wait, that's kind of awesome.
Fred Durst didn't know he was miked up in the bathroom, man.
one of the most embarrassing moments in TV history.
All right now partner, keep on shittin' baby,
you know what time it is.
Wait, wait, now I gotta do some fuckin' math, man.
Armaments, upgrading this will make this do 10 damage twice.
Holy shit, it'll make it do 20 damage, bro.
That's insane.
And then I can kill you at the expense of one HP, which is nothing.
It is crazy that someone would name their kid Fred.
I always think of all the chibbly shower thoughts.
I really like, this is my baby Tim.
No offense if you're out there and you're named Tim.
Like people make fun of me for being named Ryan
from time to time.
But like that doesn't bother me.
I don't like lash out when someone says that to me.
I just go, you're entitled to your opinion.
Cause I'm like, I feel safe and confident in myself.
Having a baby and then being like, this is my son Tim.
It's like, it's kind of crazy.
Todd? Todd is crazy too. I also knew, I mean, I grew up in the 90s, right? So I know like
nine Kiles and 300 Michaels, but I think, let me just stop. AoE is valuable, man. And
then I think an armament that upgrades more than one card might be the play. I'm regressing.
If you had to choose to name your daughter Gertrude or Betty, which one are you going
with?
I think I would go with Betty.
There's still the names from my childhood that were really popular when I was in school.
Some of them are still going strong, man.
Elizabeth is still going strong.
You still meet a lot of Elizabeth's out there.
Attacks cost additional money this turn.
Why did I say money?
There should no energy.
I mean, cost, cost often goes with money, that's fair.
Not a lot of Gabriel's these days, not in my neck of the woods anyway, I don't know,
maybe somewhere.
I can do more than 20 damage.
my time cadence. Well, they sent for the dick sucker and one was sent. Somebody got lucky.
Their penis got bent. Wait, yet he, you've been on a heater lately. I'm pledging my time
to you, hoping you come through soon. That's kind of awesome, man. Wait, that's kind of
incredible. Can I also just say you guys need to give me my flowers for knowing
the exact cadence of pledging my time? Because I know you rate your music
performative motherfucking music listeners. Listen to Blonde on Blonde once and
then from that point onwards you skip the first two tracks to get straight to
visions of Johanna. You motherfucker. Yeah my least favorite Bob Dylan song is
It's probably Rainy Day Women number 12 and number 35.
Hey man, fuck you.
It's literally you're going to make me lonesome when you go
because it ruins the flow of blood on the tracks.
It's literally some shit he made in the 80s or whatever.
But listen, we got a lot of stuff that loses HP.
I think it's going to pop off.
You listen to old music?
Who's performative?
Yagi, I literally listened to Sloppy Jame.
You play a defend first, there you get three extra damage.
Fuck you, Yeti, what the, I thought we were on the same team.
Yeti, I thought we were on the same team.
Start here, then here, then here, then here.
I only listen to desire can you make a Bob Dylan that's more accessible to a beast like
me buddy I got some horrible news for you and I think this one's actually gonna fucking
sting wait let me see we're drawing next turn we can make this work next turn if you can
Handle the seven and a half minute long song about a guy getting married twice. You're a villain head, bro
I know it's devastating news, but it's the damn truth
That's 12 damage, huh?
That's 15 damage for some reason. Oh cuz he took extra damage
Oh man, it's hard to be so fucking good at say this by our man
I'm drawing my cards.
Six damage, three additional damage for each card in your exhaust pile.
We don't exhaust anything really, otherwise that could be pretty swag.
I do like tremble, like having some more vulnerabilities is good, but I think we're,
if that's moving up, then I'm moving out buddy.
Let's go get some more upgrades.
Bob Dylan ever went to Mozambique? That's honestly, you don't know what kind of discourse you're waiting
into here. That's a very, very hot button issue around these parts. And the answer is he's canonically
said he never went to Mozambique, which makes the song even worse. And I love a lot of that album,
but that song pisses me the fuck off, bro.
like you've literally never been there bro what are you talking about you think
you really married Isis on the fifth day of May I don't know May makes a lot of
sense man isn't that like the most popular month for weddings I got married
in May actually now that I think about it doesn't doesn't work as well though
it's kind of multi-syllabic. You'll seven damage. Whenever you gain block to an enemy, deal five
damage this turn. So I'm guessing that when this does five damage to the enemy, even when it's
upgraded, it's not going to do nine damage to the enemy, or will it? I'm guessing, guessing you,
You are correct
We're not really like a block gaining Andy to be honest. What do we need for this deck?
We actually have we have a we have decent attack. We just need multi hits and
Maybe like some swagged up relics would help us a lot the start of boss combat you upgrade three extra cards
called Dan, he's crying. Why? I saw he was playing he was playing the remnant this morning.
I think it's tough man. The remnant is definitely one of those characters where like having played
the game a little bit, there are runs where I start as the remnant and get halfway through and
just go sorry the region whatever and I just go I have no idea what I'm doing. This run and
And sometimes those runs literally win, but a lot of the times I'm just like,
I have no idea what this is, what this run's doing.
Pro armaments doesn't upgrade them permanently.
That's so sad.
Did you listen?
You're not, you're not at evil for this.
Did you seriously think armaments upgraded every card that was in your hand for
the entirety of combat forever?
That would be like the strongest card in any card game in history.
For one cost, it gives you five block and it permanently upgrades like four to nine other.
I didn't think about it.
Oh, okay.
Listen, give your head a shake.
I'm just, I'm just trolling you, man.
I'm just trolling.
That would be a take every single time.
Okay.
That would be awesome.
We should mod that in actually.
Now, I think taunt is pretty good, especially upgraded, but I also like juggling has some
great synergies.
Imagine playing two attacks and then stomp and then getting another, well here's, it
says adds a copy.
I guess that would add a one cost stomp into our hand, but wouldn't that then become a
zero cost because of the fact that we played an extra card this turn.
But taunt is kind of like the, it's kind of the gimme.
Did you make the iced Americano yourself?
Buddy, it's in a bioplastic cup, okay?
Don't, you already know the answer to that question.
Don't make me say it.
That's, you're, it's a suicide pass.
You gotta get out while you're young.
You know what I'm talking about?
It's tramps like us.
Baby, we were born to run.
Let's try this stomp upgraded.
Bruce Springsteen.
Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, have you seen I saw the TV glow?
Bruce, you would love I saw the TV glow.
This is 26 damage.
Let's let's get out in front of this whole curse malarkey
How many channels ain't a damn thing on bro, you've never seen the pink opaque it sucks. It's awesome. Um
Too damaging nothing but a G thing
How long you gonna farm that movie for allyship points?
You literally can't say that. It's actually it's it's literally good. I think
it's again it's a skip. Holy is interesting but I think this is skip.
You hear Smokings the new sitting?
Damn, this is horrible news for a cardio-based nicotine head like myself.
Anime Bruce Springsteen be like 10th Avenue, Frieza.
Okay, hang on.
Tenth Avenue, Frieza, is kinda,
there's something there.
And the Ginzoo has joined the squad.
Booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, booty, do.
I can't do, especially now,
we can't do what they do, baby,
but I definitely can't do the fucked up voice
that Bruce Springsteen does on Tenth Avenue, Frieza.
When I'm down and trying for the living I want to get down breath easy and breath.
What does he say?
He's going crazy with it.
I think we definitely want an anger in this deck because it gets upgraded.
We play more attacks.
I mean, is this zero?
Not zero, but innate.
I'll get, can I tell you something?
I'm starting to build a model that is like one size fits all for slay this buyer and
I nothing in this game is one size fits all but it's a heuristic that's been working well
for me.
Before boss, before elites upgrade your Y intercept in the Y equals MX plus B before
elites upgrade your B because you need to be able to live having a higher Y intercept
will make it easier to live.
bosses upgrade your m upgrade the the speed the rate at which you either do
damage or build defense if if the game is the equation of a line before a boss
you upgrade the B or you upgrade the M and before elite you upgrade the B so I
think if we're before a boss what do we upgrade we upgrade our M bro innate
Juggling that lets us do more damage over long periods of time instead of burst damage over a short period of time
You got to kill the ads on this one
It's a it's a simple science
It's true sir
We should have popped the dex potion well if we should have then we should I
Didn't come here to learn about math can I say something equation of a line not math
It's math if you're in like the sixth grade.
It's just reality if you live a life like me.
So we want to play Stomp last.
Stomp is going to do 21 damage.
Start there, then there, bash you, which is then our third attack.
It's still good, but not what I meant to do and we take the blood potion when we need to I
Was like we need to have the vulnerability before the stop you're doing nine damage
Literally do not care go ahead and do nine damage
At the very least, we still want to play Twin Strike Last so that we get a Twin Strike into
our discard pile.
This literally gives us 10 block.
We want an anger last so we can actually play it.
I shouldn't say last anymore.
It's last that's screwing me up.
We want an anger third.
This is the perfect turn.
It's not the perfect turn.
I don't have four energy.
My bad.
Not bad, bro. You're dead anyway. We made it through.
I think this deck is actually really good. The Rare could send us into the Moon.
All your attacks turn into giant rock. All your attacks turning into giant rock plus.
Kind of awesome. They would do 23 damage for one.
Brands? We don't have any synergy with Brand, but I think it is a good card.
card and feed is just not that interesting, man. I'd like to get feed early. I don't give a fuck about feed late.
Haven't you been winning a lot lately? You say it like it's like it's suspicious. You say it like I was barely above replacement last
season and now I'm hitting like 52 home runs and you're like piss test this guy
bro I'm pretty good at slay this buyer especially at the at the low ascension
level which we're still at here honestly like five upgraded cards is is hard to
ignore but I really think that extra energy from the third turn onwards is
gonna be really nice for us. We want lots of campfires so we can get lots of
upgrades, I think. How do you think you do on the piss test? I honestly think my
piss is probably really good.
17 damage, a bit of a fuck you, but...
Here's what it is I suppose.
Explain that?
Well I'm pissing clean as fuck, let's start right there.
So if the point of a piss test is to like not fail it and get fired from your job, like
I'm fucking passing with flying colors, let's start right there.
Unless your workplace is like you're not allowed to have caffeine, trust me, they're putting
more hours on your schedule after after that piss gets analyzed. We definitely want to keep
stomp. Shrug is obviously just I would add a shrug any day of the week, man.
First time you play a card that debuffs doublet. First time you exhaust the skill at a copy.
This always seems awesome and then I look at every single deck and I go, I have no exhaust.
Which seems unfathomable.
Seems impossible.
We really need to start cutting some cards.
You see Team Italy's espresso machine in the dugout, the aura goes crazy.
I did see it.
I did see.
I was talking to a friend of mine about the World Baseball Classic last night and I was
talking about how I was praying on Team America's downfall, but unfortunately Team Italy is
too good.
The Italian-American alliance persists for another century, bro.
He hit three home runs and took an espresso shot each time and then that's how crazy
it is that that's how much espresso is in an iced brown sugar oat shake and espresso.
That's insane.
He did say, didn't he say he's caffeinated?
He's beaned up right now?
Great expression, man.
Skrull seems good with rock.
My problem is that rocks are one energy.
I was going to call them one gold, man.
I got precious metals on the brain.
I just hate to not buy anything from a shop
except for a removal when we have the money for it.
But I don't think any of these really moved the needle
for us if I'm being honest with you.
I think it's an example of subtraction by addition.
Absolutely beautiful turn of the fuck all to be honest.
I like the Thorns Relic. It is good. I can't deny that.
Stomp? Stomp a little underpowered here for sure. Is this really just another... I mean
we could do nine damage twice, which would take an enemy to seven, or it would take an
enemy to nine, or it would take an enemy to ten, and then we could not kill you. You know
You know what, I think you make them eat dirt this turn.
Get them weak for the future.
This is why when you're the ironclad,
you have to remember and put some respect on burning blood.
Rocks only do nine, we have to recall.
I mean, six, six, six.
Sorry, I'm talking like I'm in Greg Araki's The Doon Generation.
We still would like Giant Araks for the future.
No, bro, did not just say the number of the beast.
No, man, no.
Let me analyze this in a vacuum, OK?
Oh, I clicked it.
But I think that's still what we wanted, but I wanted to analyze it in a vacuum first.
Because it...
Why would...
Okay, so this is bad in Slay the Spire 1.
And don't retcon it, okay?
I know.
I know that it's bad.
Why is it good in Slay the Spire 2?
Fuck this guy by the way.
Wrong order.
Because of Hellraiser.
Hellraiser that lets you play your strikes for free.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
I'm very interesting.
Damn, we get there.
I mean another twin star. I'm not adding it for perfected strike. I'm adding it for please
don't be combat. I'm adding it for the fact that we have miniature cannon. I mean this
This is scary, man. We can do 30 damage, which means we're about to take 18 to the dome.
It's actually 19 to the dome, to be honest with you.
Yes, you should always play the one that draws first, because we had so many better cards
in the draw.
Andrew W. K. and Slade Aspire. He is vulnerable. He is vulnerable.
Okay, okay!
I never knew cards existed like you.
Da-na, da-na, da-na, da-na, da-na.
Now that they do, I'd really like to get to know you.
That's on the workout playlist.
I'm not really like an acolyte at the Cult of Andrew W.K.,
but she is beautiful is on the workout playlist for sure.
Let's hear me out here. I think it's one, two, three, and they're all dead. Okay.
And you might say why. And the reason is my college room that used to wake me up,
I had like 10 30 a.m. Classes, and he had 9 a.m. Classes or 8 30 a.m. Classes
So even on days where I could sleep in he
Would wake me up by playing that song at like a hundred decibels on his computer speakers, and then just leaving the room
So I would buy like the half way through the first loop. I would be like what the fuck is going on man. I
Would say I would say beast mode. I'm afraid
I mean, obviously it made an indelible impact on me because I'm still talking about it now.
And this is mighty interesting, man.
Certainly you have to consider a thrash in, like, all circumstances.
Stomp is also so good for us, man.
Nah, you need a thrash.
thank you Pope John Paul the third hang on that's another strike another
strike relic holy cow man I mean honestly let's get a little bit of block
going first and then we'll figure it out it's so nice to play oh this draws for
us it's so nice to play as the ironclad because runs are like 20 minutes long
instead of 70 minutes long. Joke's on you bro. I literally have AoE somewhere.
It's a tough one for a beast like me. Because if I if I shrug I can't play
stop. We don't have AoE coming next turn. Fourth enemy intent, oh he's doing 16 damage.
Which is a lot. I think the genuine play is a strike and then a stop. As long as we're staying
alive we're happy. Seven damage that that could have gone abs- I definitely could
have killed you if I didn't play it. No I think I do it a bit on like one HP.
I think we did the right thing.
Second wind is a great kind of like one-use blocker.
I don't think it fits what we're gunning for right now.
We definitely need the rest.
also an AoE Andy, huh? How about a juggling?
An anger, primal force. I mean, more giant rocks in the deck is a good thing. Dude,
look at the damage to the giant rocks, dude.
You do fucking piece me off though. I could do 11 damage plus 24 damage twice. It's 59
damage. Obviously that ain't good enough. So we're gonna take you out and then hopefully get the kill next turn.
You're fucked, bud.
Sword boomerang.
Very, very good for what we got going on.
And honestly, the worm with potions, I feel like we do really well.
I think we dodged the elite, though.
I think we straight up just ruin your life, man.
That only transforms one card!
That's still pretty good,
because we got to play our power, but what the fuck, man?
Start with Draw.
We would probably like to play a Blood Wall.
Thorns.
I hate this thorns guy.
That's me in Diablo 2 PvP when I'm going up against a pallet.
With vulnerable, this does 27 damage, so I think it is, I think it is that.
We don't really want to get hit for 17, but life goes on.
two but I know you played hammer didn't wait who said that grab thorns are you
I'm literally never use this card I think now might be the time let's give it a
shot okay how do you know about Diablo two skills bro I was 12 in 19 while I was
12 in 2000 I'm pretty sure Diablo two came out in 99 but I wasn't allowed to
get it until 2000. You want juggling. Oh wait, we can do something here. Juggling, attack
potion. Literally, this is good, but just give me a set up strike. And then play this first,
this and then get another sword boomerang in your deck.
Literally, literally easiest turn of my life.
I'm catching the stream for my local king and not just watching on YouTube kind of nervous Lloyd. What's your favorite bakery in Vancouver?
Classic Vancouver questions favorite bakery slash coffee shop ramen joint donut place
Pure bread the general pure bread is on the damn stock market now man
That could be a coffee shop, man. Or you could be nervous.
Pure bread is pretty good, though. Brekkah's a local answer. That's a real one right there.
Maxims? I'm pretty sure that's a magazine, nephew. I mean, it's an awesome magazine.
Don't get confused, but this does a little bit more damage than, oh, but then we won't
have any rocks.
I have to think about it.
I mean a twin strike is literally better than a rock, which means our turn should probably
be Twin Strike, Primal Force, Big Rock, Defend Frantic Escape, 49th Parallel on 4th Street.
Okay, first off tourists is called West 4th Avenue, but it is good and they have good
coffee and they have good donuts for sure.
can't disagree with that but it's excuse me it's called the called West Fourth
Avenue not 4th Street 4th Street probably some fucking back me up Malik
sounds like some shit in New Westminster okay that's big we want to I think we
want to thrash literally taking damage from well I got it no matter what we're
going to bash first, we want to thrash twice. And I think we want it to hit a twin strike.
Actually, no, it hits twice, but you don't want it to steal something that hits twice.
You want it to take something that hits once so you can play this that hits twice. So this,
Then add, take some damage and add a copy to your hands.
And then this is doing, well now, now we probably want to hit you again, and then thrash again,
even though this one won't scale, it gets you way closer to death.
That was, that was the way.
And then you're dead, bro.
Oh my god, we could get nine strength off of this one potion.
No, that's not how that works.
We could get three strength off of this potion.
It's Hellraiser, bro!
This is exactly why people told me it's good!
Whenever you draw a card containing strike, it's played against the enemy.
I mean, offering is also amazing.
Don't get me wrong.
motherfucker. At the start of each turn draw two additional cards you may not draw cards
during your turn, not even a big deal considering we start with two. We only get draw from Centennial
puzzle once and then also shrug it off so that's that's a positive I will
literally just never take this and then I mean Lord's Parasol is just not
takeable you had so much garbage to your deck you're right adding some pommels
would be nice. I see what you're saying with Hellraiser, but honestly I think this is fatal.
I mean, can I say something, and maybe this will come back to bite me, but if you watch
a lot of Slay the Spire on Twitch, you can easily fall victim to the fallacy that every
single run needs to go infinite. Sometimes a run just needs to be good enough. I'm thinking
about what we want to do. Some very, very nice paths. I think we want here, here as our final shop.
Make a choice. That looks right to me.
Sometimes I think of what I could have accomplished with all the time I've spent watching your
content.
Thank you, Dredd Durst, for 136 months.
It's like 11 and a half years, that's crazy man.
You should get a pair of headphones though.
Can I say that?
You should get a pair of headphones, because you can't do everything while you're watching
the content.
definitely like you could do the dishes and stuff like that you should just marry
the guy that you're investing your time into Kate I'm sorry to tell you they
literally after you exploited that they patched out literally they said this is
OP. We can't let anybody else know about it. So they patched it. Play a hellraiser. And
then I will thrash and hope that it hits breakthrough. It doesn't really matter. Is your FPS limited
the settings. I put it on, wait this is crazy, I put it on 500 FPS, is that enough? Yeah the
FPS limits on 500. 500 looks a lot better than 24. Like the shit went from looking busted like
good fellas to looking smooth as shit like a k-pop music video on a samsung tv
primal force only transforms attacks which is fucked up man have we played we played attacks
this turn one more attack we'll get added to our hands okay let's let's make it a stop
Maybe we already added it to our hand either way. I want to I want to keep my energy because I think I do want to play for
Defense here
Twin strike was already added that makes sense
Stomp clap I'm in love and you you in love at me with my sweet
That type of shit
Is that what you're trying to get into?
I'd say the strikes are kind of a win-win right now, even though we don't have infinite
draw.
Can I get some truffle fries with that?
Ooh.
That sound pretty good.
That sound pretty nice.
Let's juggle.
arm moments. Let's defend. I'll save my potion. I'm confused as to why this shit is sucking
it's supposed to be awesome. It does 18 damage.
We still take 15 but we kill one. Can I get Bob's bitchin burger with extra kick
your ass sauce? Bob's bitchin burger with extra kick your ass sauce?
This is all that's going to be left of my generation Monday.
It's going to be a German Oktoberfest style restaurant where
instead of having your own table, you sit at like a communal style
picnic table but never make conversation with the people
you're seated next to anyway.
It's going to be that and a ski ball table and then a memory.
It's all that's going to be left of us, man.
Okay, Soldier's Stew does seem awesome against the boss.
I don't think we're really built for rupture, to be honest.
I know we got some HP loss, but we had too many competing themes.
27 card deck and the shop remaining. I would take a clumsy.
Okay, Shurikim is disgusting. Shurikim's crazy.
We can't draw, so I cannot take this and add it to my deck.
We could definitely remove that.
You seem like an IPA guy.
I'm even more annoying.
I'm a T-Totaler.
And then is there any chance of another, of another shop?
There's a chance, but the chance is low enough that I feel like we'd be better off.
just taking a potion at least. You can take Cascade at plays without drawing. I don't
want it. Former IPA guy, okay, you did get me on that one. I was a Driftwood Fat Tug
enjoyer anyone anyone with me on that one I feel like whenever you play an
attack at a random attack into your hand could be awesome or horrible but
considering this is an elite isn't an elite fight I think we should give it a
chance regardless. You're doing, you're doing enough damage that I feel like we
should play, no, but then you can't play juggling. You're doing enough damage that
I feel like I should just play my cards.
Excuse me, I drew a card called setup strike. Maybe I didn't draw it, maybe I
created it what the fuck craziest fiend fire of all time um gain six energy have
I lost HP this turn I literally don't even know man you should both be dead
for sure. Every time you play an attack add another holy shit man so for sure play
a thrash, mango deal 15 damage, enemy loses 10 strength. Because we want to play
one more attack because then we also get another card that fiend fire will be
able to play off of. And then you can fiend fire anyway and will also give us one more
attack. The Ashen Strike could go crazy too. Why do millennials drink for taste instead
of to get drunk like every other generation? You know about Gen Z, right? I'll do in all
of us by like never starting drinking. It's kind of a crazy meta. I didn't know it was
possible. They just smoke weed. Literally better though. You know what? I think this
This run is like so obviously a win, just keep yourself alive.
And then, one extra strength gain plating, honestly just give me the plating.
I think defense is the only thing that could screw us.
huge actually getting a cheaper hellraiser is crazy
I don't know any Gen Z that don't drink you think that's crazy I don't know any Gen Z at all bro you ain't special
Let me get Hellraiser, same, Yeti in Tears, Yeti might be the oldest Gen Alpha on the
planet, to be honest.
I don't exactly know when the delineation is between Gen Z and Gen Alpha, but Yeti might
be like the first baby born in Gen Alpha for all I know.
You want to play Anger 3rd.
This turn does suck though.
I'm dead center of Gen G.
Are you just saying that because I've said that about me as a millennial as well.
Excuse me, why the fuck is this got created?
That's right.
Act like it?
They kind of cooked you on that one.
I just thought, um,
I'm just gonna hit you once as crazy as that sounds.
Um,
I thought, yeah, I thought Gen Z was like 18 to 30 or something like that.
Maybe they're like,
maybe they're like 12 to 30.
I have no idea.
That's how many be so fucking for real with me.
How many attacks have I played?
30's crazy and then the next message first Gen Z's from 1997 I got some
horrible news for you bro if you're 29 you're 30 how many attacks have I played
because I need to play thrash last
look at the relic my leash it's not a relic it's a power and it doesn't show
I told you!
The Engie's Ling has invited you to play Counter Strike 2.
Tomorrow, I got Top Frag 100.
Okay, I think we need a Robic Acid.
He sent me an email that just says happy meat.
I think I know what it is.
Oh, you can figure it out from the cost of stock, man.
That's crazy.
So this will give us another thrash.
W intel from chat.
That's huge.
Even from Shuriken, that's right.
You're done, bud.
W comms.
Happy to have blood vial.
Pommel doesn't draw anymore.
I literally...
I take it anyway.
so much I'm a believer. We're literally on the boss. All cards containing strike gain
one replay this combat. That's so crazy. This not even this turn this combat. 13 block.
I mean that 13 block is enough to get us there no need to lose HP
We want honestly I think all we want is to keep our HP as high as it can go
Let's save there.
In fact, I don't even know if we should be playing Angers now that I think about it.
100% you want to play a thrash third.
Literally can't happen because we just got an extra pommel.
Motherfucker. What the fuck? Motherfucker, man.
It never ends, bro!
Okay, well, we're not going to get a free...
Holy shit.
Holy shit. We're not gonna get a free thrash, but we could get a thrash that copies the damage from Breakthrough.
Sorry, from Stomp, which is what we want.
And then we could play that for no reason.
Bro, I think your ass is in a lot of trouble.
31 damage.
This is a 72 damage.
I don't give a fuck if it does 72 damage.
We just put up some block.
Okay, this is awesome.
To get the runs over.
What's happening?
We draw and play like 16 attacks every turn, thanks to our relic, our potion, and our power.
16, 12.
By the way, the last strike didn't play because that strike wasn't drawn.
It was added to our hand by one of our, by a juggling.
I saw a lot of people putting disrespect
on Mega Crit's name saying known bug.
It's not a known bug, bro.
It says whenever you draw, it's play it.
That one was added to our hand.
It wasn't drawn, bro.
Don't embarrass yourself.
Who's disrespecting the goat?
Mega Crit might literally be the goat.
They literally make like three press releases over a decade
and then come out with like a sequel that matches
and exceeds everybody's expectations
and then like go radio silent again.
That's so awesome.
That's how you do it when you're the goatee, man.
And it has multiplayer.
They do the newsletter every month?
Unsubscribe bro.
You know what?
Let's work our way through here.
The beginning of Elite's draw two extra cards, I mean random rare on the silent could be
really nice.
I mean, cutting two cards is nice, but it means we're probably not going to be able to upgrade early, which is unacceptable.
This, okay, it's a ship build. Sorry, guys.
Whenever you play an attack, gain two strength this turn. That's an incredible rare, man.
And I, I like, I like combat and upgrades on the first floor.
I don't always need the elite max.
Never not a ship build.
I mean, when you get whatever this card is called early, you gotta take it, man.
If you get a million to one odds, you take it every time.
Blade of Ink.
Which breakfast did you choose today, King?
I had a ham and cheese croissant today.
I ran out of oatmeal, I'm afraid.
Need to go to the grocery store, pick up some oatmeal.
You think it's weak in you.
Hit the one that's getting buffed very hard.
You put water or milk in the oatmeal.
I literally put water in the oatmeal and it's already so good that I have to imagine that
Milk in the oatmeal would be like the greatest tasting breakfast mankind has ever invented
Literally not even gonna attack you because of your thorns
Okay, Caligula see exact that's what I'm saying and the water makes it good enough
three incredible cards man I'm just gonna say or damage on turn one is really
valuable it means you need less block because you just you did 10 damage on
turn one. I can conceivably I can do 11 plus 8 plus 10 which is 29 damage which
means I can kill you and stun you for a turn but you're gonna come back stronger
Water in the overnight oats, grossest than I've ever heard.
Bro, ain't nothing about these overnight.
It's just in time.
It's last mile delivery oats.
They invented a kind of oatmeal that you don't even have to make the night before.
I know it sounds crazy.
They're literally apologizing for the last silent run.
They gave us accuracy so early.
Obviously, you need to play it.
This is not it's not an incredible first turn, but that's okay
That shit's been a thing since I was a kid. What do you mean? We used to drink from the fucking hose man
We used to drink from the damn hose
You play a defense we get you next turn with the with the ships
I think I need to save a little bit of block.
Don't need the Ink Max immediately.
The Sam Pellegrino house.
The mineral sparkling water era for me is new, okay?
As a kid, I was drinking a lot of like a McCain's frozen juice from Concentrate.
And my family was saying stuff like, it's better for you than water because it has vitamins
in it.
It literally has nutrients in it.
McCain's like the frozen pizza?
Yeah, yeah, McCain's like the frozen pizza, lad.
It was a different era.
Don't say our parents were stupid, man.
I don't know your parents, but don't say that shit
about my parents, man.
They didn't know.
They didn't know back then.
They didn't know all that stuff.
we want. You guys have the juice pitcher, you put the cylinder of juice into the water
and go...
and it would just, it would take like half an hour
for it to actually dissolve.
Sometimes you would drink it
and it would still be like 20% juice crystals.
Nah, man, take me back.
You should put the lead back in the gas.
Bro, Apollo, don't talk about gas in my chat.
Do you see the price of crude oil recently?
I'm just trolling, son.
How's it going?
How's Pocopia, man?
I saw a clip of another streamer playing Pocopia.
They weren't ditto.
Everybody else I'd seen play it ditto.
How are they not ditto?
Oh, shit.
I'm letting you get stronger every turn.
I thought the whole point of the game is that you're ditto.
By the way, I'm so sorry legitimately if I just spoiled
the game for you.
If at the end of the game you get an anti-ditto like
medication or something like that and and it's a you know like a utara hikaru
moment when you walk away you won't hear me say please oh baby ditto you know
bro why the fuck couldn't Kyrie and Sora stay in the same world bro why the
Why the fuck couldn't they stay in the same world, man?
They were in love, man.
Palisades, palisades.
Oh, damn, are you getting a colonoscopy right now, Apollo?
Yo, imagine how good the fucking meal is going to taste
after the colonoscopy.
I didn't know the state that I'm in, the state of my fart.
He was my best friend, Psycho Flow.
I'm procrastinating because all three cards are good.
Last minute of the stream has purely fried my brain.
They're old references, but they check out.
You ruin this song?
Bro, every Suthian Stevens song is the same.
It's about being stung by a mosquito, and then also like I'm
love with my best friend who happens to be a boy. And we love Sufian, we love him, we
love Sufian. I do like woke Trump. You know, I saw a movie last night, I saw the TV glow.
Have you seen it? Have you seen it? It's destined to be one of the most enduring films of the
decade, I think. I think, Chhibli, have you seen it? We're going to kill you, Chhibli.
saying you watched the movie on the plane you didn't understand that it was a
lightly veiled trans allegory running throughout the film chibli you gave it a
three out of five chibli you gave it a three we used to love them now we're not
so sure we're not so sure
I gotta think about it pickin venom we have too many expensive powers bro I'm
I'm sorry to say it.
I literally think our deck already works
and you take piercing whale
because it fits into our power curve better.
You can't just take every rare card
unless Jorb said that's how you do it,
in which case I default to the master.
How long could you hold the trump bit for?
I'm dead ass worried that if I like play my cards wrong,
I could hold it for the rest of my life.
Best way to do this is to backstab strike,
neutralize them and get two of these on you.
What does that mean?
I think it means if I did like an hour of Trump voice,
it might just stay like that forever.
I might be like meeting other dads at the school.
Nice to see you with friends.
We've been friends for a long time.
I don't know that much about you.
Maybe it's better that way.
They say good fences make good neighbors,
and we are, we're people with big fences.
Four shives is 16 damage.
Four shives that do eight damage each is 32.
You're fucked, Blaine.
They're giving me like every audience favorite card.
It is hard to argue against Finisher here though, but I do like a leading strike.
But leading strike is common.
They want to lead things, strike like the common people do.
They want to upgrade uncommon powers.
I think we try and elite. Let's do it, man.
Shit.
Wait, though. This turns kind of crazy.
Um...
Most important thing to note, we can't play everything.
I know what we play. We play this.
And this.
We weaken you and then we duplicate.
It's going to leave us with one shiv in the discard pile, but you duplicate up my sleeve.
Then you have 23, which is three shivs.
We have 32 damage left, which is literally enough to finish you off.
Or alternatively, you have 34.
I think we just have to, you have to wipe one.
Duplicate accuracy on a boss, maybe on this elite.
I don't think so, let I don't think so.
Blade of Ink would have been insane there.
Yeah, the graveyard is full of people with lots of strength and zero HP.
That goes hard.
I'll be here all week.
Shively, shively, that is pretty good, sheba baby.
We need to do 25 damage.
This will, we can make this do 25 damage.
So let's, well let's start by ruining your life
just in case my, my math is wrong.
But my aim is true.
First time you gain block, double the amount gained, kind of huge.
They really want me to take in Venom, and I still think it's the wrong play, man.
We have a great focus on shivs already.
This one, let's be smart. Let's rest.
And then if we, if we no hit the elite, we'll upgrade before the boss. It's that simple.
Honestly, extremely stoked to add, we're going to need some defense at some point.
A cloak and dagger is like the perfect pickup here.
Oh, we get two.
Then give me cloak and dagger and blade dance, bro.
I wanted them both.
Let me know.
Is there a way to get artifact in this game?
Because I really think like Blade of Inc plus an artifact is going to go to the moon, man.
I heard the Yoda at that time.
I do a brother up telling you there's a straight up Yoda in this song.
I don't know.
Like it's Yoda coded.
It's like shoegaze Yoda.
It's like, argh.
Should we buy my size, do you?
Something like that.
That type of shit.
What the fuck is shoegaze Yoda?
You ever listen to the cocktail twins?
My grove is cryin'
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
I pretend that I knew you well
Especially in her hair
Jump scare when that song plays for five seconds in Night Bitch, by the way
Has anyone else seen Night Bitch? Am I the only person who's seen Night Bitch?
I know what sounds wrong when I say it
Yes, man, I saw it.
They play a whole Joanna Newsom song.
What are they doing?
A whole Joanna Newsom song?
I saw it.
I regretted it deeply because it sucked.
If anything, I'm almost like, I wrote this in my review, but I was kind of mad at it
because it was like, so, it was on the border of being good, but it had never for a single
second did it seem like it was going to cross the line. I never had any hope that it was
ever going to show its passport and make it to a different country of goodness. At least
that dad was realistic. He's literally not realistic. He's literally like the worst father
in film history.
Shit.
We have to go all in.
Wait, no, we have to do math.
And the math is fucking whole.
Oh, there's only three of these fuckers, too?
Wait, we can always duplicate it if we need to.
three shivs equals
eight
plus eleven
plus
thirteen, but it could also be way to take you to 42, and then it would be
11 plus 14 plus 17, which is literally 42 damage. Can I wait?
Well, okay, 11. This is an important moment because we'll lose a lot of HP off of this. I'd really love to keep the duplicator potion
but six damage takes you to 42 we play this our first shift does four plus four
plus three which is 11 so we've done 17 damage and you're at 31 our second one
does four plus four plus six which is 14 which takes you to 17 and our third one
does 17 and we get to save our duplicator potion
This duplicator potion is it that here's the thing this and Chibley don't take this as offensive
This is why you have to sometimes do the arithmetic in slay this buyer because you might say oh the potion is not that big of a deal
But because we have this potion we can play this on a power against the boss so we can kill the boss
Which means we get to upgrade a card instead of resting and that means we have two
entire acts of an upgraded card which pays insane dividends. Just tell him it's
the CES, it's the slay-the-spire equivalent of learning a smoke lineup.
Oh that might work on me. I mean that might work on him. I mean accuracy is
is not negotiable. Chib's not even here. The time zone is so fucked up. I think it's
like 4am this time man. It's so crazy. Okay. Honestly, let's get an infinite blades. And
I will never use this potion effectively so let's use it right now just to hold the piercing
430 in Sydney right now holy fuck if you're Australian and you're watching this you're
the goat for real man or you really need to go to sleep because that's kind of crazy
This has got to go.
I think it actually fucked us to retain our hands, because now like we haven't been able
to play our power yet.
I literally think you don't need to use your duplicator potion to live.
I think we can save it for later.
Now, the play you have to make is you definitely play accuracy and it's non-negotiable that
you play up my sleeve.
If we draw a blade of ink on the next turn with a bunch of shibs, we'll be very stoked.
Don't get me wrong.
Oh, no, we won't because you're intangible, but, well, it is what it is.
It's full of people with duplicator potions. Yeah, but it's also full of people who use their look
I invented the fucking bit so I can change it. However, I see fit. It's also full of people who fucking
Use their duplicator potion unnecessarily when they had enough damage to kill the boss anyway and as a result
They were not able to hit the
Calculus necessary in order to win the game
Mogged
Burst is like it's the greatest card in the game. Obviously abrasive is awesome.
Actually shadow step could be crazy too, but a burst into like an up my sleeve,
a burst into even a cloak and dagger, a blade dance, any defend, you have to take burst man.
Who the fuck is a Robus, man?
Enchant a skill with imbued.
This card is automatically played at the start of each combat.
Ring of the Snake becomes Ring of the Drake.
Ring of the Drake?
To draw for three turns draw two additional cards.
You may, re-rolling card rewards is good, but honestly, like our deck is pretty complete.
Not that there's nothing good we can add to it, but like we don't really need to emphasize
card rewards to get the win, I think.
Inbued, I'm just trying to think of like what skill I would want to play.
I mean, the obvious one is you force burst to be played immediately.
Accuracy.
Buddy, accuracy is not a skill.
a power. Look, I'm chatting with plumbers and accountants, man. Burst is like a great one
because it means that it gets played for free and then whatever other skill we draw gets
played twice. Now, my sleeve for the first turn could be good too, except it puts us
over our hand limit. I think we take it and I think we put it on burst. There's a shop
right there. I think that's my goat right there. We really want to upgrade this burst
ASAP. It playing for free is so disgusting then. Because now we can add six cards to
well first we have to play something like that so that we have the hand space for six
shivs. Literally my first thought was literally, oh it's bugged.
Well, we still got value, trust me it's not good, but we still got value.
Yeah, chat report that to the dev please.
Definitely this.
And we certainly ruin your life.
Hello dabs. Hey Veredna, thanks for the gift and subscription. You don't have to report it to the dabs. That's okay.
Let me think about this in terms of...
It's like I really...
The problem that I have right now is our deck is good enough, I feel, to win the game if we just get more relics and upgrade our...
uh... our cards
we probably really care i guess we care about retain shifts because it's
possible our boss might have
intangible in which case this would be game winning
so i actually do think there's a there's a play for it
we might not play it every fight but against the boss that could change
everything
we literally don't need any of these
so i will shop max
I may come to regret that decision and we'll see.
Oh shit!
I'm a fucking genius!
I mean, zero cost, gain two shares.
Unbelievably useful.
Cutting a strike.
Unbelievably useful
Whenever you gain gold raise your max HP by one actually crazy
Damn nice to see you on the come up. Don't you owe me 20 gold? Whoa. Whoa. Whoa
Is a key and peel sketch about this?
Um, I think this is good. This is basically like cheese
Because we're going to be gaining gold quite often. I actually love
poppers just to kill enemies faster so we don't need to take damage. That being
said I did kind of want master of strategy but to be to be so fucking
for real with you we may have enough gold for our next shop anyway. Well
probably not now, but more removal is good anyway.
Duplicated burst that gets played for free at the start of combat.
So fucking crazy, man.
It's so fucking crazy.
So fucking incredible.
Honestly two shibs out of cloak and daggers worth a lot.
Jesus Christ, man.
The floor is almost over.
Just give me a moment here.
You have to get kicked.
You do no damage so I don't care about you.
I think you double up on this and discard your whole hand to get four shivs.
This is awesome, man.
You're fucked, lad.
It's kind of crazy that we're able to do this without even having accuracy on turn one.
Why not, man?
Because apparently we never draw accuracy on turn one.
More shifts, please.
Why not us?
Why not now?
I love the silence!
Definitely feels like double blade event could go insane.
I'm just trying to figure out if double blade dance is somehow better.
And I'm figuring out if it's better, how could I?
Because four extra shives is still a lot of extra damage.
Oh, you get both! That's right!
You get both!
Honestly, if I don't kill you, I should probably double up on some block.
Am I really gonna try to figure out how I'm gonna get this guy to...
Because like, in order to add eight ships to our hand, I gotta think about it.
Because this only adds six ships to our hand.
Six shivs is going to do...
Honestly, fuck it bro, we play a strike to make more hand space.
Then we get seven shivs.
It's enough.
It's enough by a mile.
That's insane for turn one, bro.
We had 36 strength up.
Bag of prep, oh my god!
Oh my god, oh my god
I don't think we need calculated gamble we want at this point
We almost want to keep our deck so thin we draw half our deck on the first turn
What are the question marks for bro, this is better than any run you've ever had it burst me
We're definitely gonna want to burn attacks.
We have to make hand space.
Sad to say, but we have to make hand.
You know how you make hand space?
You play hidden daggers.
And then you've got four shivs.
And then you play blade dance and you've got eight more shivs.
And then this does like 80 damage.
This is awesome.
I just don't think you need it man.
We might because we're very like turn one heavy, but burst is not exhaust.
like burst comes around we just never see it again because the fights usually
over I mean if anything better finisher works for what we're going for is this
a once-in-a-lifetime deck or like a one in two thousand type of thing I think
it's like a one in 30 type of deck it's not like you don't have to post this on
the Slay This Buyer subreddit and be like, this is the greatest run that's ever happened.
But I think it's like, you know, it might be like, if you play this for a month, this
might be the best run you have for a month.
I don't know.
At least speaking from Slay This Buyer one experience, which may or may not even be relevant
here.
Honestly, give me a flex potion, it just seems like an appropriate time.
hit, dump four cards, play a blade dance, get eight shivs, do the shuriken or a kunai
would be so funny here. Brogius took 211 damage on the first turn, but I'm like wait every
subsequent turn sucks. Let's not go crazy. Did I get an accuracy? It feels like it's
I've been a hundred years since I played Accuracy.
You bloated the deck, Sire?
Bro, I haven't added any cards.
There's 22 cards in the deck.
I really don't think you need a second blade.
You'd rather just have another blade.
Like, you'd rather just have the one blade and another shiv.
And similarly, we don't need bullet time.
We already have such good energy economy.
You can make all your shivs free.
Plus two, plus two.
We certainly don't need an apotheosis.
Okay.
We don't need any of this.
Like, none of this is good.
We don't need swift.
We kill enemies so fast anyway.
We certainly don't need enemies to have one HP though.
Although in making elites have one HP.
If anything, we don't wanna draw on turn one.
I think weirdly enough, we want fur coats.
Oh, there's two free elites, holy fuck, bro.
So obviously we take that.
and then go this way and this way holy shit man it's gonna be like a half hour
long run unless we die we should stack some potions just to make sure life is
but a motherfucking dream you know you've done that I mean this is the perfect
first turn. The perfect smoky eye.
12 damage 12 times. Anyone else in the sixth grade that can do that math for me?
It's not necessary. Imagine if we got a reward for fucking skipping
Cards, bro.
I don't, poppers, poppers kills you.
You died of poppers, bro.
This is awesome.
Don't even have to, oh, this is,
Wait, wait, wait, wait, we gotta think this one through.
That guy actually lived through our opening salvo.
Alright, now we actually have to do some real thinking.
Lose energy potion, get a common skill, lose swift potion, obtain an upgraded common attack.
How about lose no potions and give you a middle finger and moonwalk out of this bitch?
You can skip all just skip the card. You're right
We don't need a switch potion man
Skipper potion for nothing sometimes sometimes potion for nothing is the is the optimum play bro
We really wanted to have hidden blade on this one
So hang on, I think you probably, there's two ways to do this.
One is survivor twice to make room in hand for a doubled up my sleeve.
The other one is you just go all in bro.
blade of ink twice, backstab, neutralize, a power, not a skill, like phantom blade,
and then up my sleeve.
And if we have to, who cares if we have to rest, bro, or use our energy potion.
So we double up on Blade of Ink, Batstab and Neutralize.
We can't play a power.
So we're literally going to get five shivs.
Five shivs might not do it, but also I don't want to underestimate ourselves.
It actually easily did it.
overkilled by a lot. Anchors all right. That means we never have to block on our first
turn or feel like we have to block on our first turn.
Crazy to say this is the worst first turn we've had in a long time and it's still certainly
not bad. Because I can backstab you, it's all about getting a finisher to pop off.
So then you play a strike, cloak and dagger, we'll give you all four shivs, and then finisher
doesn't kill that's devastating man
glue i'm afraid took two turns
two turns to kill a basic enemy
now man
not like this
What's the fucking point?
Oh, an elite that dies to poppers.
Oh!
Boom!
At the start of each combat,
at a random hand, card to your hand, it costs zero.
Could actually, my, this sounds fucked up.
I think you skip it, bro,
because it fills my hand with something
that means I can't draw as many shivs.
That's so crazy that it's the strategically right decision
to skip a free relic.
But I love it.
It's definitely this.
It's an accuracy for sure, I mean it has to be blade dance and then, it has to be cloak
and dagger and then blade dance.
We'll end up being, we're only going to get six shivs I think, whatever, we'll just kill
you next turn.
I'm not gonna use an energy potion, actually like could be valuable if the boss fight takes three turns or something.
It's the best day of my life, bro.
And then an all another freebie, oh there's three of them too!
value. Now that we can take. Imagine if the boss had zero HP, man. Imagine if we lose
is the run after all of this.
This is actually a really good first turn.
Accuracy, Hidden Daggers, Dump These, Dump These, Backstab, it is tempting to draw, but
I think like this is good enough, this is 8 shivs that do a lot of damage, but there
There was a part of me that thought we maybe could get a touch of ink to do it.
I think we'll be better off getting the swift potion and the energy potion to work together
on the next turn.
Mad genius, bro.
Yeah, where'd your boy go?
Hey, weren't there two of you before?
What happened with that?
Wait, wait, wait, shivs that retain, bro.
Shivs that retain, though.
And then next turn we're guaranteed to draw Finisher and Blade of Ink.
I will say we draw five cards per turn.
might as well hold five shifts. That sounds right. And I think there's no chance you're
not dead man. What's going on here? Okay, there is a chance you're not dead, but you
You are going to get hurt pretty bad.
I was normalized to the damage from like a bursted inkwell or whatever it's called.
We can't play burst and up my sleeve unfortunately so I think you just play up my sleeve and
honestly I'm getting sick of you.
Why do you only take 7 damage?
Well, cause I'm weakened for 98 turns.
Well, guess what, buddy?
Who can play that game?
Wait it out.
Ha ha ha ha.
Could be the move, bro.
Tiny ass.
Greatest run of my life for sure.
Is there a way to see the run time? 44 minutes.
It's probably the fastest slave-inspired 2 run that's ever existed.
Ascension 3 in the bag. Put the Ascension in the bag.
Hi, I'm 80 years old from Estonia. What is this?
International businessman, you literally said yesterday you said you were a middle-aged man from Slovakia.
Slovakia you probably thought that I didn't read it. I literally read everything. I'm cursed with it. I can't not do it
He moved
Literally possible that you moved from Slovakia to Estonia in a day
Literally possible you might have mugged me with that one
Call that slave-aspire tutu we go again
We go again and we break the music somehow.
And the regent, I don't fully understand, man.
I like spending 99 gold to have some theming early, though.
This seems fine.
Kingly punch and incentivizing a thin deck
Two good blocking cards
Astral pulse really nice if you can get the stars for it because having the aoe is incredible, but I
Think this works better
And fuck an early shot, man.
And now we can actually go question marks early because we got some card rewards.
Can I say now that I've got two wins in a row, I want to say something?
Definitely we go in on you.
Bring that back.
don't actually go in on you at all I'm realizing. On the first floor, and I make
this mistake a lot too, on the first floor as a lot of characters you actually
need to prioritize battling enemies. Even though you look at the map and this is
like ooh when I see this I go no no I don't want to oh no and then there's a
lot of them. This is huge early because you need things that are not strikes and
defends in your deck so that when you actually get to like a section like this
you have cards you can play that will allow you to beat the elites but instead
people are like oh look this path it's look I can hit five question marks before
I fight the first elite and then you get like nothing you might get some like
cool events and maybe a couple of relics but then you fight this guy and you're
like what the fuck three strikes okay two strikes and a and a defend whatever
Why'd you choose that path because I added three good cards to my deck with the starter event, bro?
I got three card rewards already. Don't tell me that was your gotcha. That's embarrassing, man.
Oh, that makes sense. That makes one of us. By the way, we don't need mm-hmm. I see you saying
at mm-hmm we already have we did that right we did that we already have that
I'll take pattern
what the hell is we did that I mean can't you see it for yourself I think this
This is pretty good, man.
Omni Slice is a little bit of AOE.
Definitely I'll spend eight gold on a forgotten relic.
Whenever you get a Cursed, raise your max HP.
And straight up, I'll just heal myself so I can upgrade.
We said by five, eleven damage, three vigor.
Why doesn't Omni Slice just say hit all enemies for eight?
You know, I think if we can tease that apart, we could probably figure out what makes this
card potentially awesome.
Vulnerability?
Well, yeah, but like vulnerability still affects AoE cards.
Oh, I see what you're saying. If one enemy is vulnerable, you hit them and then it hits all enemies as if they were vulnerable.
It works with vigor? Yes, but so does every other attack in the game.
I see what you're saying.
Okay, and we do, we do voln a little bit.
Avoid thorns. Oh, that's true. Avoid thorns
Or if you have tracking very interesting you guys you've educated me here today, and I appreciate that
Let's give kingly punch going when in doubt upgrade your your rarest cards
I'd rather not. I should have played that first. Wait, we literally have a perfect example
of making it work here. I think we still got thorns, but I am not at
you. Why not put up a block so you don't take damage, bro? Every four energy spend
gain energy. Real talk, we are going to need some stars. Let's just add a shitty attack
that generates a star. Orbit goaded? Literally don't at me, but I think that everybody overrates
energy in this game. Ah, motherfu- wait, this is great for Omni Slash. I think it's
pattern and glitter stream. Then we have two vigor for next turn plus we have a
fire potion which may allow us to kill like Phantasmal Gardener, this one at
least. Omniscience will do 10 and then 10 to everybody.
Huge.
Kingly Punch?
Kingly Punch doesn't have to be played, but with 3 energy it has to be played.
10 damage incoming?
We don't care.
This is not even that bad.
Solar Strike.
Falling Star does 7 damage.
This elite fight being washed is good.
Because this fight is a disaster sometimes.
Kingly Punch?
Kingly Punch?
Next time.
No Kingly Punch huh?
One movie would be best if its story was told backwards.
That's easy for a beast like me.
I'm going to say Night Bitch.
He starts as a dog, finishes it just as a lady.
That movie was bad.
I can't really disagree with that, to be honest with you.
I think we just got a nuke you and nuke you.
This was an easy fight, man.
Prayer wheel.
Prayer wheel, and then we open the map and close the map so we get two card rewards.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong.
Kingly Punch, well, does it make the other Kingly Punches scale?
I'm assuming the answer is no.
It's more like a rampage, where each rampage scales itself.
Okay.
So, if anything, we want a thin deck, but we don't want to over-commit to a Kingly
Punch early.
be like a pretty decent attack. I honestly think a gather light is pretty good. I know
nobody asked, but I feel like people are allergic to adding like decent block cards to their
deck. They get one card that has an awesome synergy and then they go, I'm just going to
ride that to like the end of time. You got to be able to have at least a little bit of
defense in your deck, man. We love shrug it off. Shrug it off. We love you. We love you.
Shrug it off. You should. But you should put some respect on true grit as well. Can I say
that? Everyone loves shrug it off. Nobody's given respect to true grit. True grit is literally
good. You're an OG. You're damn right. Honestly, it's kind of like a horrible turn for us.
I'll hit you for seven, at least. Upgraded, maybe? Upgraded, it's incredible, man. Ah,
mother fucker dude. No need for stars. It's a good point. I then I see what you're typing
and I agree. We need to learn when it's better to like not stun this guy because it stuns
him on a turn where he's doing like four and then he comes back to do 36.
Just, it makes a big difference.
Certainly need, I mean we're literally, we're all in.
And we're literally dead. Yeah, fair enough. That was all, that was all due to
stunning him at exactly the wrong time.
All right, we run it back.
Fuck the regen, man.
I let his vigor wear off and then I stun.
Oh, does he gives himself vigor on a bad attack and then I stun him and he gets it on an awesome
attack.
I see your points.
Give me a card reward, okay, 18 damage card is good.
Free strike or defend, I plus two that.
I honestly like this path.
I think with a good attack, like we already have, we can fight an elite, realistically
probably rest, fight another elite.
Realistically, I mean we might be relic maxing, fight another elite, and then maybe the greatest
shop of all time. I don't know. Mother Sauce seems like something that can make it into
the culture of lexicon. That's true, dude, honestly, I could totally see, like Mother
Sauces are already known, but they could get to a higher level. Like whenever, if a few
years ago you had some you had said something like if in 2008 you went I
think Cholula is gonna have a moment people really would have been like bro
I've seen Cholula in the grocery store since I was like four I've seen Cholula
in the grocery store my entire life yeah that doesn't mean it can't 10x bro now
they got Cholula at the at the damn slot bowl station I'm not talking about your
poatley I'm talking about the ones that give you like a kale salad in a bowl
with a marinated chicken breast on top. So even though mother sauces are known, I feel
like mother sauces could be way, way more known. The ube bowl got me feeling postal.
Oh, with the taro crisps and everything. Nah, no one cooks anymore. Can I say something
is going to anger millennials and I know eating out at restaurants is expensive. Let's start right
there. But eating out at restaurants is also one of the best things you can do because A,
the food is yummy, B, someone else is making it for you and C, you're supporting a business in your
community so that there can be one business in your community that's not just a package pickup
spot, a UPS store, a FedEx store, a vape shop or like a place where you can buy Japanese snacks.
to have to have a local restaurant that you can go into
But in some fucked up hours like they close it to and reopen at 515 or something like that
So you always go for like a late lunch and you're like what the fuck it's closed
But you were I respect their right to do it. I respect their right to do it
I think we need a photon cut to get our other attack out faster on act one
Bro, it's like 30 bucks. I'm gonna ruin your life, but they have to price it at 30 bucks to keep the lights on
At least if you're eating at a place that's called like Lee's diner
If you're eating at Harvey's, I don't know but if you're if you're eating at Lee's
That's the fucked up part.
I'm sold like Meg Resta.
Tell them I'm not radicalized, okay?
Tell Chad I'm not radicalized.
But I have to tell you, when you get mad at the restaurants for the price of the food,
you shouldn't be mad at the chef, you should be mad at the landlord, bro.
The commercial rents are going so high, every time you're buying a slop bowl from a restaurant
and going, damn, why is this restaurant so expensive?
It's because the landlord's getting four bucks of it every single time.
And they didn't grow the lettuce, they didn't put the chicken breast on top of it, they
didn't swing the iPad around and ask for a tip.
The food is 75% of the cost and 25% of the cost is going straight to somebody that wasn't
even involved.
Which I think is awesome if you can be the guy.
Wait, wait, this could go huge, but if you're not the guy, sucks ass for sure, man.
Plus they keep closing the damn restaurants down.
We're thinning the deck too early, but I don't care.
That being said, if you own the building, shouldn't the chicken fried rice be like $4.99?
Can we invert the argument a little bit?
If I find out that the chef and business owner also happen to own the building, shouldn't
chicken fried rice before dollars and 99 cents
you dig on a catsuit curry yeah bro it's like chicken tenders and gravy of
course it's the perfect food they're gonna kill me for saying hot soup curry
is chicken tenders and gravy but tell me I'm wrong I eat it bro it's it's
delicious. We don't create cards. We do generate stars. This goes back on top of our draw pile.
I'm not sure we give a fuck, man. Not sure we give a fuck. Curry is not gravy, buddy.
You're putting, you're putting a roux into a pot of water. I got some horrible news for you.
you. And it's literally good. But you're the problem is you think I'm evil because I'm
putting us on an equivalent footing. You thought you were fucking better than me for eating
Japanese curry when I'm eating gravy. They're the same thing, bro. Those are father's
sauces.
Got french fries dipped in gravy are so fucking good man.
You gotta try it.
If you're ever in Canada go to a Canadian A&W, get their french fries, dip them in their
gravy.
It's, and you can get a poutine as well, don't get me wrong, but that's a whole different
Boloax. You know what, we're so early, we can commit to like a stars archetype here.
As the cheese curd situation in BC, it's good. It's not Quebec and it's not even Ontario
but it's still good. Like for the most part they're doing poutine right. At least I can't
speak for like North Sook or Penticton, but in Vancouver they're mostly doing it right,
for sure.
Let me take a peek at what this has got first. I'd love to make you vulnerable if possible.
I do feel like, I do feel like Forged 10 is going to be basically useless for us,
so as fucked up as this is, I'm going to take a hidden cache.
And I think we want damage and then put something on top of, we'll put this on top of our drop
pile so we have an attack.
star. A strike, pattern. Now, pattern's not good enough. You play pattern next time.
Do this, draw an attack. There's nothing to draw! Oh wait, that's not, I had this confused
with another card. Okay. Well, we can still get the bigger. That's fine. We lost a 10%
damage. That's like two damage. I can live with that. And then, we didn't draw what we
wanted. That's okay. 667, bro. 667. Greg Araki, if he made the Doom generation in 2026.
See what we're putting on top of our drop. That goes on top of our drop pile. That's right. I
remember that now we're gonna make it bro we can do 23 damage mother fucker
I mean, Shining Strike does 10, then we need 13 damage.
If these are our cards, and we're going to have one more attack, the worst possible cards
to not draw would still get the kill so we have to play it.
Well we lived at great cost.
We do need a payoff.
Motherfucker.
We do need a payoff for all our stars.
We definitely do not have it yet.
So now we kind of have a Forge Relic.
I do think that it's a slow pivot.
I mean we only have 15 cards.
Still okay.
Forge has gone awful.
They ain't that serious.
It's only ascension three.
never know nephew we have no AOE right yeah that's that's obviously devastating
Let's, let's forge and then kill you.
So that our, we'd love our blade to get to the point where it can one tap one of these
guys.
I think you see what we put on top. Rot in four. I think we would put that on top. Let's
put this on top. We definitely want to do some damage, gain some block. My dream is that
we draw Celestial Might with Pat or so we can one tap one of these guys. All I can really
says that we're due. I hate using the potion on somebody like you, but otherwise I don't
I don't know if we're making it. Let's minimize our damage at least. Can you respond to yet
Yeti's been typing the same thing for an hour.
If I may, Yeti knows at this point,
I respond when the message is worth replying to.
So you're literally gonna die,
but I have to kill you so I don't take too much damage.
Sad story.
He does not know that.
Yeti, you should know that by now.
Okay, I mean the heavenly drill it just does not work but if we could get some
energy that would be sick. Does 80 damage for 4? Stardust is actually incredible
with vigor and we have enough stars to get some payout off of it. There could be
something, man. Why do you keep saying, can I say something on your stream? It's kind
of like my catchphrase. It's kind of like, my, did I do that? And it, you can play with
the form a little bit as a result. Because sometimes you can say, can I say something?
And then you say something insanely out of the pocket, like that shit about Octo mom
and trying to stuff a sleeping bag back into its packaging. And then people get like prime
to the idea like oh every time he says can I say something he's going to say
something fucking crazy and then sometimes you say can I say something and
you say like food goes crazy when you're hungry and people go what you fucking
mixed it up bro
and that's our play right there it lets you play with the form man let's do the
math. Stardust is 21 damage for 0. Wait, you don't even have to do the math, bro.
The only quit- let's- let's- we have to do a little bit of math. This would be 24 plus-
well this hits three times and this hits three times. So it's exactly the same amount of
map with vigor. It does not matter. But let's play this because it's cooler.
This is big, man. You put a strike on top, gain some stars, weaken the enemy, and then
Don't concern yourself with the order of vulnerability at all apparently.
Are you afraid one day you'll wake up and just not be funny?
No, I'm afraid it's already happened, but you guys wouldn't tell me because you don't want to hurt my feelings.
I'm afraid it happened like two years ago, but you got so used to laughing at my stream that you didn't notice.
Scary thought, right?
Alignment is also interesting, like we gain enough stars to gain energy, although we have
like very little draw.
But then it does make stardust a little bit worse, but I still think there's something
to it.
Two-eyed!
Seven damage, three damage.
We'd rather have more damage.
And we can, Stardust is better than our 3 damage for 8 attack, because it costs 0 energy
and it can scale, it can scale disproportionately high.
Are you in a, you're just a basic Andrew, right?
As a basic Andrew?
I mean, 3 vulnerable?
I'd much rather use that for the boss, bro.
Even if you're not funny, you're engaging
and you play the right games.
Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on.
Be so dead ass with me.
Did you watch Trick Shot Simulator in 2025?
Don't lie to me, Walt.
Wait, our deck is literally good.
I can't believe it.
Yes!
Are we a Crescent Spearlad?
Two additional damage for all your cards that have an energy cost.
One, two, three.
Twelve damage for one.
I think it's good enough.
deck is fat enough? It's so crazy that people like you add two cards to your deck and people
start going your decks too fat. Let's like normalize not commenting on the size of people's decks,
okay? Especially strangers. Like yeah, a friend of mine, like like a dude I play pickleball with,
if he wants to comment on the size of my deck, so be it. We have that kind of report. But like you,
a stranger? No, bro. It's 2026. We don't comment on the size of people's decks anymore. Okay,
this you are literally the most annoying enemy in the game. If it wasn't you, I would not rest,
but I'm going to rest because I hate you because I'm not a ship deck user here.
way three upgraded cards already yippee yippee I would like energy you should draw first though
Wow, what do I care, bro?
Do I look like a daily gaff?
Put that shit on top.
Gain energy.
Annoying, but we just have to punch through your, uh, slipperiness as soon as possible.
That's value.
This at least purges three of those.
And then honestly, we just need to hit stars as well.
You know what though?
This is three extra hits from Stardust, which will really get a lot of value for us.
And we get ten extra block next turn.
Freaking huge, man.
Play a pattern.
I will still do this just because the weakness is basically block.
Huge.
So I'm realizing that the purpose of the whole deck should be building enough stars that
Stardust gets a kill.
Obviously depends on the lunch.
Steel Guiga is back.
There's honestly, Guiga, you've done me a great service.
I guess we don't even need to play the stars as we get them.
to think about it. You haven't been around or at least chatting for a long time, maybe
like four to six months, and then you've been back several times this week, which to
me is like, you're becoming the type of customer where I get the iced Americano brewing as
soon as I see you open the door. Which by the way, I think is a good thing. I'm not
Not saying it sucks, I'm saying I think it's awesome.
Slave the Spire interests me more than Mario Party.
Bro, it's not Mario Party, we're literally talking about life.
We're talking about real shit.
First time you come, first time you jerked off.
thing you've ever seen in the toilet after shitting like this is real fucking
this is dude talk bro
now we play slay this fire we're just talking about oh how do I do nine
damage I guess I'll play my card that does 10 damage like this is the fucking
this is the honey that you slurp to distract yourself from the fact that
we're all falling towards oblivion the Mario party is where you talk about the
shit that makes you fucking real, man. You know what? I thought you were, you wanted
ice americano, but you fucking pissed me off, bro. You fucking pissed me off with that anti
Mario Party shit. Get the fuck out of my, you, you can have a hot americano. You can
have the 500 degree glowing americano that you, oh, I, I didn't have time to get a coffee
before work, I got a coffee at the coffee shop, but it's too hot to drink until 1.30.
That's what you fucking get.
You get the Americana where it still burns your fingertips even when you got the cardboard
sleeve on the cup.
Because they made all the cups biodegradable, but now the thermal coefficient is fucked
up.
It's like, how can it still be hot three hours later when it's burning my hand?
Like it's not even a calorimeter anymore.
It's nice to see you, though.
I feel like we're not a forged deck.
We're a Stardust deck that happens to have a sovereign blade in it.
So we literally take tyranny to thin our deck to get better cards.
This will help us on boss fights, I think.
I'm not in love with the deck so far, to be honest with you.
See 15 cards from the defect.
Choose any number of them to add to your deck.
I don't think that could possibly be good.
I don't see how that could be good for us at all.
Illuminescence, sure.
I feel like starting with six stars is crazy for stardust,
though, man.
I'm an espresso guy myself.
Me too, man.
Me too.
Choose any number of them to add to your deck and I want the stars.
One day with trust, I love that they have the meme potential in there, 600 gold and
then the shop chaching, probably want to make sure we rest here, but then we don't want
to go to this shop.
So instead, we will go, go to eat, eat, eat, eat, sounds good to me.
Holy shit, the draw technology, tube technology.
The third decree, no more rich people or poor people.
From now on, we'll, I gotta think about this one.
We'll lead us to kings, we'll really lead us to kings.
Uh-huh, I think to save ourselves,
we burn that beautiful potion.
It's not go oil always interesting.
We do want more blog.
We really just want cards that give us block and stars.
And there's enough of those in the game, even though I can't name them.
There's enough of those in the game to be good for us.
You're my shining strike.
No matter who you are, we need 7 stars, which means we have no need for 6 stars, which to
to me means we can get by, nah man, I think you take two damage and you weaken one to
a point where we possibly could get two kills next turn.
Oh it hits randomly!
Ahhhhh!
Well obviously we'll exhaust that.
It's still fine.
Star economy looking pretty good.
And now the type to eat those bugs.
A low issue, been around long enough.
I'm not a bug eater.
Now I would rather be in the smoke circle with the bug eaters than the people who are
like I will not eat the bugs and they put it in like their Facebook profile.
But I've had the bugs.
I don't really want it.
I would eat them to live, but I don't want to eat them if I can avoid it.
I'd rather eat the beans, to be honest.
I got no problem eating the damn beans.
It's the best day of my life.
I see the temptation behind a resonance.
I mean, gaining one star, but no, I don't know, because we, wow.
Cosmic indifference is almost exactly what we wanted.
We do need a little bit more block.
We still may have 19 cards.
You can definitely have a deck that's actually too thin.
Haters will say it's fake, but it's literally true.
This would do not even close to the same amount, but it would forge five.
We don't care about Forge 5, we care about Forge and Fire, the number one show on the
so called history channel.
Oh man.
Fourteen damage does cost a star, ten damage, eight damage, kind of perfect.
Put a, get that out of here.
Put a, put a toxic on top of your deck.
8 damage. Play a pattern so that we have Stardust Vigor next turn.
Having people beating the game with less than 10 cards. Yeah but like you're doing
this thing where you're like Shohei Otani hit 71 home runs and also was in
the Saiyan conversation last year. Yeah bro but you ain't Shohei. You're just
like Tim. You should worry about how Tim can win a run. Don't worry about like
being the best baseball player of all time. Just worry about, you know, Tim
beating like Ascension 4.
Bro, where's my stardust?
Where's my stardust, bro?
There it is.
You know what?
Eat dirt.
It's a tough one, man.
Boyd Forman, really good.
Child of the Stars with Stardust, insanely good.
Now, you gotta take Child of the Stars Plus.
You got a little energy greed.
I would happily...
We're already low on strikes, man.
but having nose strikes is really nice.
And we can totally upgrade here.
Void form would make stardust not cost stars
and still do damage.
Damn shorty, okay, I'll look forward after the boss.
Hopefully we live that long.
That's a good point.
Um,
Tyranny is bad just in the sense that we don't want it to be innate
because it
Very slightly decreases our odds of drawing stardust on the first turn, which is the dream
I will literally just
Increase this block and the vigor
That's a one guy moment.
I do think that the one guy is right though.
I do think that the one piece is real.
Similar that we're gaining a lot of stars do I want you on top of my draw pile?
Not a hundred percent sure bro.
I would spend a star to hit you.
You guys watching one piece season two on Netflix?
That's cute.
I'll be watching Cleo between five and seven, but you can watch your little anime or whatever.
No it's good, it's good.
No you won't?
Well first I gotta see Nowhere.
I gotta see no where but we'll get there 23 dead this kills you bro this kills you
this does not kill you
that kills you I needed an excuse to have a potion anyway
Have you seen the Angry Birds movie?
I probably should to make me better at Sinaytu Nerdle, but I've not seen it yet.
I'm sorry to say.
Um, well, hear me out.
Draw first.
We drew Stardust.
Okay.
Put Tyranny on top of your deck and then kill them.
of stars also seems amazing. Random power or random zero cost card? Ooh, what if it gave
us void form? Fuck you, bro. But whatever, at least we get spoils mapped out of our deck.
power. It is honestly, can I hit you with something that's so fucking for real? I
think you take a second stardust, not so that you have to stardust, but so that
you're twice as likely to draw stardust early. I think let's start with some
basics here. This is literally bad.
This helps us a lot.
This might keep us alive.
And then do we have another shop?
Yeah, but do we want to have another shop?
I probably take this path, to be honest.
I think it's a pass.
This is, prep time is actually kind of interesting, too.
of your turn game for vigor now but it makes us less likely to get
stardust on turn one which is like a hitter for us I don't feel confident
going up against two elites but maybe I should now one elite true could have done
and want to lead in a couple of combats.
That's, you know what?
That's pretty true.
It's tyranny shining strife.
The stars are all that matters, man.
Yeti, that one's not that bad, but it's too far.
I can't bring myself to say it aloud.
You're in alignment.
Now, what do we want next turn?
Literally just playing, oh no, put a defend on top.
I'll hit you, I'll hit you a few times.
That's a pretty good turn.
I was literally like, no, just wait for Stardust.
No, we're literally, we're literally chilling.
You have 84 health.
This does...
Well, you don't even need to think about it, which is like the best kind of card.
Okay, so we literally could have killed you with a Venerate, but whatever.
It's not like we're getting hit.
We didn't mislead.
As long as we don't take damage, we didn't mislead though, bro.
It's that simple.
Hit counter.
If I could exhaust Yeti to get eight block.
What a tale my thoughts would tell
is like an old time movie
about a girl from a wishing well.
Is that the type of shit you're talking about, Magresta?
I don't know where we went wrong
but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it.
I'm not sure if I feel this way
But I do today.
How does he always have a song I've never heard?
Emperor Narva, have you never been into a grocery store?
If you could read my mind, girl.
You getting better at singing?
Yeah, and it's making the left nervous, man.
I literally don't think this is good.
I
Royly approved this car has in Nate's and retain wait, so we could get innate stardust man
That seems extremely awesome.
Glow also seems, does it cost zero?
Game two energy draw two.
Glow also seems like the type of thing we'd love to add to the deck to be honest.
You're a fucker, which is why I'm happy that I get to kill you early.
Ewww.
Play the microphones.
Um, well now it's, here's the thing.
Is it worth the loss of 20 damage to add 5 damage 5 times?
Yes it is.
Wait, this still kind of sucks.
Wait, oh I thought you were...
I should have played the other one,
because the other one had retained.
Ah!
Oh, but I lost Vigor, which took,
like, I don't know, 10 off or something like that.
I see what you're saying.
Nine block, bring back a stardust.
Child of the stars.
literally pussy mode
wait what are you gonna do with a fucking
with a zero energy stardust next turn man
yeah nothing
does retain
You're not wrong.
I guess I'll fucking...
I guess I'll fucking snack oil.
I want to see some zero costs in here.
None zero costs?
You're fucking trolling, lad.
None zeros?
And this thing's gonna cost three
I mean we still we're all right, but it oh it got back to zero either way
I mean that's mostly irrelevant, but it'll piss you off
Seven damn it. I think I just have to kill you
Can I, can I do, I could just kill you like that. Okay, that's easy enough.
I think we need another cloak of stars. See that, the elite actually might have been easier.
This fucker.
This time, okay, we know we want to play tyranny.
We know we want to play pattern.
Then play this.
It is 60 damage.
This is probably your best turn for this.
And then, I could've, whatever, whatever, man.
15 times 6.
Decent start.
It's no silent run, but it's decent.
I will draw one fewer.
I think I can more easily absorb that.
You will exhaust a sovereign blade.
of stars, now all we need to concern ourselves with is generating as many stars as possible.
Literally take 17 damage even though you don't have to because your stardust is your killer.
We exhaust a basic defense, put a card back on top, we're going to draw a stardust next
turn. So put a pattern on top. Now that being said, we will definitely play that this time,
but then also gain some extra energy. Yeah, you know what? 18 damage is better than 10
damage from Stardust, so we'll play that. Exhaust of Photon Cut. We did not draw Stardust.
devastating. What do we got for attacks? A stardust. Problem is we're gonna get
stardust for sure next turn. I think you take a radiate and then shining strike,
venerate, patter, and then 24 damage radiate and then stardust is still good
next turn. I could have played Pat or Last and then the Stardust would do more damage.
That card literally is bad.
Ah, okay.
Surely playing falling star and then hitting you while you're vulnerable to gain two more
stars which pays for this.
To then play this so we have this in hand is the right play.
And this one has retained, so we play the other.
We don't need to play more than three cards per turn, plus we only draw four anyway.
So that's literally a buff.
That's a buff as far as I'm concerned.
We're never going to play a Celestial Knight.
We are going to play a Shining Star.
We are going to play a Cloak of Stars, I'm sorry to say.
We literally didn't- oh no, maybe we needed to.
Why are you concerned?
Well, I only have one card that does damage.
It's on purpose, but it's still a little spooky.
I know we can only play three.
We don't need Radiate.
We need a big Stardust in the future.
Dump it.
This is a good question.
Do you close the toilet lid when you flush a shit?
People say it prevents shit particles from going everywhere.
Do we really think this matters?
Jason, I do close the lid before I flush a shit.
I feel like it's...
How much does it help you?
I'm going to assume not that much.
how much does it hurt you? Less than zero. That's my that's my philosophy. I'm gonna
I'm gonna take a pattern on top because we're not gonna have enough stars to work
with next turn anyway. And we can only play three cards. Let's play Shining
Strikes so we don't draw and then seven times five is not as much damage as I
like but it's also more than enough luck
do you flush mid shit if it's a bad shit i'll flush mid shit
yeah i've i mean i've been known to at least
your retain which is awesome you can only play three cards
we need as many stars as possible i'm sorry to say
patter your three extra damage i don't know what the break even point is it
It seems easy enough to get, but oh no, this is because we're not playing Stardust this
turn.
We obviously play it.
Now we can take 8 damage because we're going to kill you fast enough.
Now we have Vigor 3.
This adds 3 damage.
also adds 14 damage to play this first and now you do 42 damage you kind of
are pissing me off because I thought I had I guess you died a parrying shield
which is insane, but I do feel I do feel like dying star is important for A.O.E and we can
always just play stardust instead. But all right, oh, don't play my fucking hand, man.
At the start of combat, put a random power from your draw pile into your hand. It's free
to play. We have two powers and we like them both. So that's awesome. Applaritions, I literally
just don't play that way. And energy. We don't need a power for free is huge. I'm not saying
the apparitions are bad. It's the opposite. I think they're awesome. I just don't like
to play that way. Yes, people killing people dying, just in
chibley northern lion. Can we practice what we preach? Lovely momo dankory. Yes, I mean
We've been we've been hidden that a lot this week, but I'm for it man. I
Don't think we need relics. I think oh, you know what we with tyranny
We actually don't need to remove anything else from our deck
We could focus on buying relics instead in which case we should prioritize getting to the shop
And we could do it
In my in my house
In my house, I think we take this path right here, it's a big-ass hammer, bro.
Really want to upgrade. And then here is like scaredy cat. I don't know what scared emoji is,
maybe like big eyes. But you know, this is the opposite. This is like, I'm really happy.
My run's going so well. This is scared. This is exes for eyes. And then down here. But
then also you could go up here if for some reason this relic has changed your life and
And now you're like, yay!
Free win!
Could happen.
Olympic.
Well, this obviously means we take no damage.
It's very effective.
We also take no damage anyway, because Child of the Stars is free.
So I think you don't have to play Dying Star.
I think you have to play Shining Star.
And then you play this, what?
This 18 damage for 3, this is 21.
21, Dev Kale, that's your music right there.
I think we play this and then just launch this bad boy out there.
I like that.
Goodbye, dying star.
It literally doesn't matter.
Can I tell you something?
It doesn't matter.
And the reason it doesn't matter
is because you don't need to go through your deck
five times to beat basic minions.
If you do, your deck probably sucks ass
and I'm all you anyway.
You need it for the boss
because you need your good cards
not to be ethereal on the boss
or not to exhaust on the boss.
But against these guys,
you don't even have to sweat it, bro.
Long story short, I'm saying I ain't the one
Uh-oh, baby
Think about what I might want to see now I'm pissed yeah
I
Stardust will give us if we play this and then play stardust we get six block and we do literally no damage to you
So I think we're much better off
gaining ten block
See but now you're out of stars
Well, that should hold forever right oh wait I got a billion back immediately
And I don't have to look when I poor because I'm the absolute governor
Chronos you're not the man in the arena, okay, that's all I'm saying to you
You're not the man in the arena royal gamble is literally a given. That's a dream card to draw early. I
Will serve as today's decider
Add shame to your deck upgrade to cards or add regret to your deck upgrade obtained to relics
I mean, relics can obviously be good, but if I'm being so dead ass with you, well, let
me look at my path.
We could do it because we're not going to want to upgrade basic defense.
I think we still got a lot of shit to upgrade.
I'm going to be the, the upgradeer here.
And I'm willing to, we definitely want to upgrade.
Tyranny would become innate, but it already,
it's not necessary except on the boss. We don't need it early.
Do you gain more stars? The world may never know. You don't.
I'd like to uncheck you.
Royal gamble retain just so we don't get it late and beyond able to play.
it seems big. Dying Star. Sure, I've decided that's good enough. Tiering is free anyway.
Well not if Child of the Stars is free though. Which by the way is also good, but Child of
the Star, this is the dream. Loyal Gamble. You can only have a maximum of 10 stars. Oh.
i would have played a cloak of the stars if i knew that
oh no because it cost us some that's right my bad y'all my bad i went with
gruber mode
this does 20 this does 18 i will do 20
then play a venerate
and just grab some stars bro
This deck is actually awesome.
I think we're content as is.
No need to thicken the deck unnecessarily.
No, you're awesome, you're breathtaking.
You're deck-maxing.
You play the one that doesn't have retain.
You play this.
You play this.
You play this? Or do we just play, we probably play Glow to make our other
star just get better faster? Or to be able to play a dying star? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes,
well then play Glow early in case you get Royal, whatever it's called.
Royal Gamble? We'll exhaust the shame.
Can't get enough having no cards to gain energy here is fucked up man
No from all four
I still go in on you
It does suck ass, but I still go in on you.
Now we want stars plus our AOE.
Exhaust some use of garbage.
Venerates?
I can't believe we don't have enough things that generate stars, man.
Wait, it's all coming crashing down.
You venerate cosmic indifference.
Bring back a glow.
You have to play a cloak of stars.
It's a basic defend.
You're gonna exhaust.
Dude, we actually will lose here, I think.
That's so crazy.
Well, I could spend one and then take a lot less damage.
That's, there is that.
One day, Royal Gamble's gonna get there, man.
Bring back the Boston Rag.
Yes, man.
Tell all your bodies that it ain't coming back.
You better bring it on home.
Bring it back, bring it back.
Wait, this is our star generator.
This is our, this is our old bro.
Mm-hmm
Exhaust a
defense and
then
It's shining
And we got it. We got to do a little management here now you get a royal gamble
Spend an energy to fuck you up
We get one big turn
I honestly think just to be on the safe side you use this and then you play a
venerate. That wasn't even that good.
I think we maybe stabilized at least.
not having enough for the dying stars like that was really bad that ended up
being really nasty okay wait wait the stability is in the room with us right
now
you bring back
venerate because it gives us the most stars
You exhaust a photon cut, now exhaust a crescent spear, I don't think we're playing it.
You venerate, you patter, now just, oh but you're going to summon again, because you're
going to summon again? I think we're all in. I don't know why I thought that these
cost different resources. Or do we, no, we have to wait till next turn, man, because
it's better to take eight so that after he summons we do some damage to the minions
because we're not killing him. We're only doing 28 damage. I think you wait, man. We
We need to take out the minions and kind of stay ahead of the game.
We're never using an alignment.
It's just not going to happen.
This time we do 28 damage, kill you, get some stars back, and then we get some punch in
on you.
Oh!
Okay, okay, we get there.
We're never going to play Falling Star.
You play a shining strike?
No.
Stardust is not very good right now.
Are we guaranteed to draw another one next turn?
We're pretty likely.
He's exhausting his best cards.
No disrespect, you don't know how the game works.
What's your badge?
CSGO Week Brazil 2022.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
CSGO week Brazil 2022.
I don't even have anything to say about that.
Glow me.
Used to be my homie now you act like you don't know me.
I mean as shining an ultimate we just need this to hit you twice out of five rolls.
Even if it doesn't, we get enough block, we kill you with any attack next time.
It hits you zero times, which is crazy.
That sucked really bad, though.
But that's okay.
We don't get to do what I wanted to do.
We have to rest.
We go this way.
This guy is also a semi-tough man.
You need to play a tyranny for free, that's a given.
Where did I go wrong last time?
Last time went wrong because of AOE.
This time I don't think we have the same concern.
I think you played cosmic and difference early so we don't put trash on top of our discard
pile.
And literally play that.
We can hold you.
This is dying star.
one stings. This is going to be tougher than I thought it would be, but child of the stars
is huge because we don't have to take damage this turn unless we want to. The low God dying
star, you simply play that, it's that simple. Okay, and then we've got that in our back
pocket, especially as our deck gets thinner. Oh baby. We still have four energy. This one's
going to be all about energy management.
I'll christen spear you.
It does enough damage for me to be stoked, I think.
He takes like no damage this turn.
This has got to be a big blocking turn.
Exhaust your forge card.
That's a given.
You play a royal gamble.
No, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can easily not take damage.
We don't have to shoot the Stardust wide.
Literally this is almost like this.
And then just keep gaining stars.
Don't even let that one burn off and we just hold.
As long as we're not taking damage, we just hold. And you're not getting any stronger. So what do we care?
We literally never play that this turn we are gonna take damage no because we
could always just fucking play a stardust to get out of it bro at any time
that takes us to nine I think on it or you're doing seven damage so we don't
give a fuck about you we don't give a fuck about you at all man
I want to draw it again I think I can avoid taking damage if not kill you outright
9 times 7 does not kill you hear me out here
It starred us immediately.
Then shining strike and venerate.
We take a little damage, but now we can play our strength sapper next time.
We needed to have three.
We didn't draw it.
That's okay, man, we can still draw it, actually.
You play a glow.
You play a shining, you play a venerate.
play a shining strike. I think we literally we just tell you but I have the I have the meta down
it's just a frustrating deck to play. The potions will help. The deck is already good. Here we're
I'd say we're we're scared. We're on scared money. So we go here.
Chet, sell me on duplicating your deck.
It would be epic. It's funny. It's funny.
Wait, wait, wait. This is big.
This is big.
Took a second.
That one switched the stamp button right there, okay.
Duplicate is awesome. You didn't sell me this pen. I need you to sell me the pen.
You're searching for perfect strawman? No, I just had to ban someone, but they deliberately made their name like something to get around.
get around regex exemptions.
So I had that literally open the mod panel
and then click on the like no smoking sign
on your cigarette break.
Actually kind of a horrible trade for us,
but life goes on, man.
I was using manual targeting.
We want, we definitely want Pat or back.
These guys are annoying.
This, that child of the stars, we want tyranny.
I'm a believer in the early stardust on these guys.
And then always ending your turn by getting some stars back so you could play stardust
next time if you had to.
This also should go.
Yay, I'm at lunch finally.
It's so fucking relatable
Best meal I'm gonna say I don't care if it offends anybody lunch best meal of the day on a weekday lunch is so Pete
On a weekend sometimes you can have some awesome dinners or breakfast on a weekend
There's no doubt about that, but on a weekday a lunch is really solid
I think we just stick to the plan then.
Then you get a shining strike.
Might as well just fucking...
Fucking...
I want to have enough stars to play my AoE next thing, so even though this looks like
we could have gotten more damage, having the AoE is big.
overrated it took me a long time to join you on this one I think I'm ready to
admit it's so annoying when you see an awesome restaurant and you look at their
menu and you're like oh look at all this awesome food I want to have and then
you make a reservation for like 1 p.m. the next day and you walk in and they're
like oh until 4 we only have the brunch menu and it's all fuck-ass eggs benedict
bro I don't want the eggs benedict I wanted the shit that I saw on your
website last night
go in on
and bring back
bring back a glow
oh i should have fucking
no we don't have the stars anyway i would have had this we should have brought back the AOE obviously
Is brunch just breakfast plus lunch?
Sometimes.
If you're lucky, it's breakfast plus lunch.
But what happens often times is that they just have eight different types of eggs,
Benny, and then like one chicken and waffles, brunch entree.
But if you want a fucking spiced pork chop, come back from 5.30 onwards, motherfucker.
You know who wouldn't do that?
Our humble Chinese Canadian restaurants that are still locally run within the community.
And you go into the restaurant, they hand you one big menu that's got like seven different
pages on it.
It has all day breakfast, it has lunch menu, it has dinner menu.
If it's nine in the morning and you order something off the dinner menu, they bring
you sweet and sour pork, chicken fried rice, and an egg roll.
They don't give a fuck what time it is.
They will not divide the menu.
They will not divide us.
Wait, wait, wait, Glow gains, Venerate gains too.
This is our combo play.
Then Royal Gamble takes you to 9, then you Glow again, and you have no energy to play
anything, which is swag.
Which is literally swag.
page menu equals frozen food. Yeah, sometimes frozen food tastes good, Gordon Ramsay. This
is big. Cheesecake Factory's from Scratch. It is and that's fucked up. It is, it is
insane. Mathis used to work at a Cheesecake Factory and I remember that he
said, you won't believe this. He was like, never eat at Applebee's. All the food
just comes in in bags. And I said, brother, the second part of that sentence
didn't need to be there. But then he said, if you go to the Cheesecake Factory,
they make everything from scratch. And I was like, that seems impossible, but I
I have no reason to doubt you.
You know what pisses me off?
There's a restaurant semi-closed by.
They have a soup of the day.
Soup of the day has not changed in two years.
Every time I walk by, same soup of the fucking day.
Now, they should call it soup of the year,
which honestly even sounds better than soup of the day.
But the fact that they have the little bifold sign outside of the restaurant that advertises
the same soup of the day every day is starting to really piss me off.
What soup is it?
I don't necessarily want to tell you, but let's just say it's not the most exciting
soup out there.
I should go up.
I'll bring my own chalk.
I'll go up there and cross out there.
Gain a ritual?
gaining a ritual would be huge. Trust me when I say it's not a soup where you would be like,
ooh, that's interesting. You're about to add 10 pieces of shit to my deck. That's fucked
Oh, man.
Holy fuck.
At least we get to exhaust one every turn.
Wait, wait, it's a goaded turn.
I should have played this first mother fucker.
And then always this and then
We're gonna draw I mean you can start exhausting them faster bring back a pattern I trust it
I'm hoping to kill you before we have to deal with the bulk of your slimes wait this might actually come in handy
We need more we need more of this
Devastating devastating because you have to play dying star to keep it in the deck
33 damage. 33 damage, huh? Definitely time for one of these. Reflect is probably still
going to cost us zero stars. Crazy. Could not ask for much more than that, man. I'm
literally going to play this to get more block and then get more stars anyway and
then not play my best attack because I got mana and energy confused again. I'd
probably exhaust one of those. Crazy play? No, we don't need a crazy play. You
literally just do that.
There's no shot yet he is 21 years old. That's literally yet his business. I know
You know you were waiting for me to say something like oh it would break my world view if yet
He was lying about his age would honestly I've seen such fucked up shit in my long-ass life
It wouldn't even make the top 500 bro
You turn on your TV lately
Second we need ritual
Certainly need to hear me out there
We have no means of generating stars which for me means we don't play stardust
Man plays worst hand of all time, has to leave.
Can only play one anyway, get out of my deck.
Have to play this.
Play this, play this.
Under no circumstances do you play a Stardust this turn.
It uses too many stars.
We take seven and we live to tell the tale.
We take seven and we live to tell the tale.
The longer this goes on for the better it is for us because we have ritual anyway.
we do have 99 turns of weakness, which is also, that sounds pretty bad. Now this turn
is a different story. We need to play, you play a pattern, and then a stardust, and then
in that glow to rebuild our, oh, we didn't play the power yet, that gave us the block.
What are we drawing next turn?
We're drawing ways to generate stars, which means we don't need to play shining strike.
So give me a challenge of the stars.
Don't even play your attack potion, because the longer the fight goes on, the better the
attack potion is for you. This is big. I can't help but feel that at some point
we're going to need some defense in our deck to play a venerate, which allows us to play
a dying star, which allows us to play a shining strike and keep our star economy pumping.
You are kind of dog shit though.
I mean alignment is six block.
See, when you put it that way.
Okay, no block is obviously horrible. Maybe we can get an attack that has block
All right choose a colorless card in your hand add a copy of it to your hands
Well that would copy
Sovereign blade is not good
So I think we want, sadly I think we want hegemony.
It would copy sword? Yes, and the name of the sword is...
Wait, this draws. This is huge.
It drew powder.
I bet I could fucking kill you this time.
SHARPINNN!
There has to be a way.
Alignment for two energy must give you enough.
And let me run the numbers.
If I put Shining Strike on top, play Alignment, 4 Energy, 4 Energy is 24 plus 27 which is
more than 43.
And now we still gotta figure out what the fuck we're gonna do here, but...
I think we exhaust this.
We need to play a glow.
Which would mean we could...
We need to play a glow.
It's non-negotiable.
It's semi-negotiable.
Stardust is a little bit of block, but it means you can't play Falling Star.
I think we need to keep Stardust pumping, man.
What are you, your blow?
The problem is we need to be able to play Dying Star, which for me means I would rather
not die.
This will save us like 12 damage, but I have no way of, you know, I think we take a chance.
Cosmic Indifference brings back a blow.
Which allows you to possibly get to enough to weaken the next turn.
Hegemony.
We could still, oh no, we can't because, okay, so that's going to be exhausted, which
is horrendous news.
Unless Photon Cut could draw into something, I mean we just don't need that, Photon Cut
could draw into something.
It didn't, but we can move this to the top at least, so that we can play it next turn.
And then draw it immediately if you play Glow, which we don't want to do.
So instead we play the worst defensive turn of all time.
And we need to generate three stars this turn.
Which shouldn't be hard, I was going to say it shouldn't be hard because we have Shining
Strike, man.
To venerate.
Shining Strike.
Dying Star, we definitely want to keep it in the deck.
And then playing nothing.
We can easily, oh we have Lizard Tail, thank you for bringing me back from the brink, bro.
We have the lizard's tail, which, if you play your cards wrong, we could still die, but
you know, I don't want to see hegemony in the deck anymore.
You really want to play Shining Strike, even though you also really want to play Falling
Star.
Let me see what Photon Cut could get us here.
I think no matter what you're playing at, Drew Patter, put a shining strike on top which
allows you to play a fallen star into a pattern, into a defense.
We die, but we don't die too badly.
is doing 15 damage x times. So if we could just increase x, things would be really good.
This is zero right now, yes, I've noticed that as well.
You're not killing me.
So I do feel like if I venerate, this is 45 damage, which is nothing.
If I venerate and shining strike, this is 75 damage, which is still really nothing.
And next turn we draw Dying Star, which could keep us alive.
I think you just put up as much block as you can until you're ready to kill.
But then there's another aspect of this that's going to piss you off.
You're going to hate this.
No, I'm going to hate this because the better rate if we could play venerate every turn
and the stardust that in and of itself that's nine block that's nothing bro.
Block with stardust yes but if we block with stardust we might be able to kill with stardust
man. My discard pile is empty. I know this may end up costing us the run. There's a
So part of me that thinks you play shining strike, because you don't kill us, maybe you
take next turn off, like you take a buffing turn, which lets us wait one more turn to
get one more strength up from ritual to then hopefully have enough stars after stalking
stars to kill you.
That's the strategy I'm going to stick with.
Please take the turn off.
And then we literally we literally don't want to see dying star we want dying star out of here
We can only play one of these three you have to play venerate it's better
This is so scary though
That's right removes itself
Now the question is
Well, then there's no question you exhaust alignment because it doesn't do anything for you
You have to play venerate
Next turn we're not guaranteed to do well the next time we have a pattern though
Which is also three times the number of stars okay, so next turn is the turn where we do our damage, which means you don't play this
So you venerate
Unless photo, well you you photon cut first
To see if you get
Okay, we don't care. What do we want on top?
Maybe now we want falling star on top, or it has to be this.
I was overthinking it.
I was like, we could get two more stars, but it has to be falling star, because at this
amount of energy it has to be falling star.
And then you venerate, and we play nothing.
You play absolutely nothing here.
You let them go and then you can only play one of pattern, which is three, or this, which
is way better, even though it spends two.
You play falling star, for sure, and you play venerate.
And then it's literally in God's hands, and I'm looking at it and I'm like, I don't think
it's enough.
Wait, 21 times 9 is definitely enough, because of the vulnerability.
Oh, okay, that was a tough one.
That one would require a little bit of mental gymnastics to get through.
But we get there nonetheless.
Great piloting.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate that.
And now we get to play the Necrobinder!
Now we get to play the Necrobinder, but first I gotta go P.
Marker sts
sts slash marker sts 2 3 I'll be right back. Good night y'all
you
you
I'm back, y'all.
I think I know.
Nice sleep.
I think someone asked me for the sleep score earlier.
I guess we should get it in the video.
Sleep score check.
Give me a second here.
I always get my sleep score and my energy score confused, okay?
I will say yet again, sleep latency needs attention.
Optimum range to fall asleep, five minutes to 30 minutes.
Last night, one minute.
How could this be bad?
Samsung, explain it to me, how could this be bad?
One minute is awesome.
Okay, if I may say something.
No, no, no, wait, that's good.
Sleep score last night was 77.
sleep time, excellent, deep sleep good, REM sleep good, restfulness excellent, sleep latency needs
attention. So literally my sleep score is being penalized by the fact that I fell asleep in one
minute. Dan, I'm so ready for tomorrow, Kate even got me a new mouse. So I have no excuses in Counter
strike. Literally like they gave me excellent in everything. And then they said you fell
asleep too fast. It was like in tech class in ninth grade, where my teacher dinged me
for typing 110 words per minute because I didn't use the home row. Now you want some
other stats. Let me see your average heart rate while sleeping 51. Minimum heart rate
while sleeping? 46. We got to pump those numbers up. I did get scared though. I looked at my
heart rate data on my watch and it said that my minimum heart rate in March so far is 30,
which I hope that's an error. I hope that's an error because it's good to be low, but 30 is really low.
And then what was my energy score today? Energy score today, 87. Excellent energy score.
They gave me a badge for it. What did I get dinged for? Sleeping heart rate was a little
out of range. I went to bed too early. They gave me, they, they dinged me a little bit
because I went to bed too early that's so crazy man we are suffering from
success is so embarrassing you know what I'm sorry I know I said we were doing a
necro binder run but we shouldn't be doing a necro binder run because
necro binders on ascension four and defects only on ascension three man we
We should be getting all their ascensions up.
Who doesn't like the defect, man?
The defect's fun.
Greed, a rare, or Neo's Fury.
I mean, a rare on the defect could change our lives, man.
Then how have you been liking Slay the Spire 2, by the way?
I saw you play the Regents and not have a great time.
I'm here to tell you.
completely normal. The regent is very, it's, it's hit and miss man. Sometimes you
get a run that pops off like easily and sometimes you're like I have no idea
what I'm doing. Kind of goaded better than you. It's crazy for you, for you to say
that. I'm not saying I disagree. It's crazy for you to say that and also we
don't have to pit two, two bad bitches against each other. But it is, it does
have the benefit of having like 80-minute runs instead of 300-minute runs.
Anyway, I'm taking a random rare.
Actually, multicast early is crazy, man.
I think we want to...this is perfect for an early upgrade.
And then probably this is a rest, if I had to guess.
But I like this path.
It even gives us a third elite option,
but that might be tough.
You know what song I haven't heard in a while?
Little Miss Can't Be Wrong.
Who is that?
Is that the Black Crows?
Little Miss, Little Miss, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong.
Got the blank, got the blank,
I don't get a shit about that,
they're the mishlong.
Oh, it is the spin doctors.
That's so, it's 100% the spin doctors.
Yeah.
The black crows are, um,
Hey pretty girl, why don't you let my kid a thaw?
Mama, mama, I'm sure I can hit her now,
tell you now, bam, bam, bam, bam.
I think I go hotfix as crazy as that seems.
How'd you hit that?
It's been on a lot of Peloton rides.
I'm not even trolling.
Kind of been on a staggering amount of Peloton rides.
Can't quite get the job done if we can't quite get the job done
I think you do will cast and then get his app in case you draw either do will cast or multicast again
Hello
How are you I'm on a heater and say this by her today
Oh this the arrow key it's been off for probably like six months
It came off like a little piece of plastic broke off it. I've just kind of been running it
I've recorded like probably 300 Isaac episodes with this thing off. Oh my god. What's wrong with you?
We do
You know Sydney Crosby still wears his shoulder pads from junior
Yes, yes, she said I'm related to Sydney Crosby
Unk, I need $87,000.
Unk, can I borrow $87,000, Uncle Sidney?
It's your favorite number.
I know it's crazy.
I never take these cards.
But I feel like Turbo plus Multicast is kind of like the way.
Now you might say Dualcast is more efficient, but like playing a zap after a Dualcast to
then use a Multicast, I'm pretty sure means that this costs exactly as much as this.
What I'm saying is there's no difference between good and evil.
They're exactly the same.
Chiblee's here?
Chiblee?
Chiblee, I was gassing you up earlier.
I think.
Well, no, actually, I was tearing you down.
I was saying I'm a better ally than you
because you watched, I saw the TV Glow on an airplane,
gave it a three out of five, and then apparently,
this is not me saying this, this is Chad saying this,
apparently you were bullied into changing your review
because you didn't understand the subtext of the movie.
Whereas I'm gonna give it a five out of five
and then I actually really don't like Letterbox.
Two days ago on Letterbox, you told me to fuck myself.
For giving two and a half stars to a movie
that you said you watched on YouTube
while you were looking at your phone.
It's so it's it is nasty work to do this to you like 15 minutes after the sun comes up
and then Dan's pickle posting with an ad.
But you know what?
I don't even care if Dan's pickle posting on you because every time I go into your chat,
people are typing my name and then me on and then I was in my discord and I went I don't
have seven TV.
What's me on?
turns out that it's a monkey pissing on my head. And then I said, if me on is a
monkey pissing, then what the fuck is monkey piss? And that's just a monkey
pissing in a different direction. So whenever people were typing monkey piss,
northern lion, me on, I was there getting pissed on by two monkeys with my tongue
out. So maybe I don't need seven TV, man. Maybe I don't need seven TV.
So I think he's right to pickle post is all I'm trying to say
I think we just take a leap man, I have no idea if this deck can do what I want it to do
But I definitely know that to get there we're gonna need to remove some cars
And then this is this is dirty work right here, but let's try it anyway
It's the Venmo guy. Venmo gave some gifted subscriptions. Thank you Venmo. I appreciate it. Venmo, did you know you don't exist in my country? I'm sure that's, I'm sure you'd like to.
It's probably more like a regulation thing if I had to guess, but we're using we're using
wealth simple cash up here or interact e-transfer.
I'm literally not trying to make you refund the gifted subscriptions.
I'm just letting you know how it is here.
E-transfer is better.
Well, what if you have to e-transfer a $3,001 within 24 hours though?
you're in trouble because there's a I think there's a $3,000 limit on it. Venmo on the
other hand, I think you could just send like a billion dollars on it, right? I can e-transfer
10k in a day. What the fuck? Are you on Scotia Wealth Management or something? He's
me off I'm gonna I need another lightning out there so I can play a second multicast
Close my stream
There fair fair um, I'll be so for real with you
Not dual casting seems like a huge mistake
But on the other hand dual casting and then not being able to play a multicast plus seems like a huge mistake I
Think it's exactly the same play use app and multicast
They are in this with some youch no doubt about that
We need to go, we need to go all in to have a chance to live.
Multicast.
Good night y'all.
That's just not survivable.
I got nothing against Venmo except that we don't have them here.
e-transfer is kind of goaded though. That's how I pay my dentist, bro. I'm not even fucking
with you, my dentist, the first time I went to them, they gave me the bill and then they
said, how would you like to pay? And I said, credit card? And they went, if you would prefer,
we like e-transfer because we save on the fees. And I said, oh, I don't have the banking
app on my phone and they said, just go home and pay us.
That's the kind of, we are bringing back a high trust society.
I literally went home, paid them immediately and then have been paying them like that ever
since.
Hello this is the CRA, what's the dentist called?
Buddy, you got your tendrils into the online banking.
no shot that shit doesn't go peep peep peep peep at someone's desk in canada or hunt club
or I don't even know where the office is to be honest. I'm assuming somewhere in the Ottawa
suburbs. Look at this shit bro. VIP Daniel, you see what they're doing to us? They say
why did he say Canada like that? They don't know shit about canada. They don't know shit
What about Nepean, bro?
Give me a random- Oh, 11 damage, all enemies evoke all your orbs.
Now we are fucking cooking.
God Booster Juice is good, man.
Just like a full Corpo episode. It is good though.
10 damage, 2 week channel of dark.
That's pretty good, and I think that the the defect lacks ways to apply status effects.
So I'm just saying I'm all for it. Thunder is obviously really good.
Evoke all your orbs. You evoke lightning, deal damage for each enemy hit. I wanted to remove.
it's honestly a little too early for a remove I guess he does have go for the
eyes and beam cell I'm going to add another another null as well
honestly I feel like we're built for combat on this one
Okay, and now, did you like the Fault in Our Stars?
I have some horrible news for you.
I've never seen it because I think I was like 32 when it, oh, it's probably like 27 when
it came out.
It's not to say that I was too old to enjoy it, but I was too old to think that I would
have enjoyed it.
You've heard the manga?
Okay, let me think.
I could do 16 damage and then 12 and then kill you.
Oh, that'll work too.
Hopefully they add it to Criterion.
I mean if they do, I'll watch it.
Honestly not sure we...
You know what, fuck it, add it, man.
This is as much value as a strike. I can live with that.
Megacrit be like, we need to nerf many of the cards, but the silent has always been
perfectly balanced.
Oh hell no.
Nephew's beefing with balance in a single player game.
Ah mom, come pick me up.
Nephew's talking about balance in a PvE single player game.
All I'm saying is you're crazy for this one now watch this drive
Huge potion
Dude, I love I mean I love orbs don't get me wrong, but I love an early genetic algorithm. That's fucking crazy
I mean obviously the earlier you get it
the earlier you upgrade it.
We'll still play it for sure.
Um...
You need a thunder to deal with the AoE.
Let's get a shadow shield going for the future.
We love our chibli.
We love our chibli. We love that he loves Slay the Spire.
We love that he's bringing his trademark irreverent banter
To a game that's normally more strategic a little bit more type a some people are saying it but
We don't love his review if I saw the TV glow
We don't love his review. He missed
He missed the allegory. He missed the trans allegory. He gave it a three out of five
Which way he knows the movies woke he knows it's woke
So when he gave it a three he probably felt in his heart that it was a two and he buffed it by one
So we didn't get canceled, but they canceled him any way for it because it's a three for a movie that should be a five
Julie do you hate me?
this has got to hurt you really bad
he said me on mother fucker
mother fucker man
This does 11 to all enemies what we're gonna ruin your fucking life, bro.
This is awesome.
This deck is incredible, man.
You might like the defect too, I mean, if you're still watching, if you don't hate
me. This should look like the bride, by the way. But you, no matter how you want to play
Slay This Fire is valid. Don't respond to pressure to change characters if you don't
want to change characters. If you want to never play a character ever again, you can
do that. If you want to only play the ironclad, you can do that. If you want to play the ironclad
until you get to Ascension 7 and then Ascension 7 is pissing you off, and then you want to
go play the silent because you want to go back to Ascension 0, go for it. You can't,
You can't go wrong.
You can't go wrong.
I'll add some glass.
They call me Mr. Glass.
Transform a card into peck.
Enchant a card with slither.
Whenever you draw it, randomize its cost from zero to three.
That's an average cost of one and a half, bro, which is less than two.
I want the chance to play this.
I'm going to put it on one of these ones.
Bucket we ball.
We take chances.
We make mistakes.
Fucking messy in this
Stop saying I'm sipping cheese by the way, I'm not sipping cheese. This is a it's a booster juice. It's another butter booster juice, bro
I was not caught straight sipping on Chuck E cheese, bro
It's an unacceptable perversion of the reality
It does all fuck it costs zero I've been chosen by God to win this run
I've been chosen by God to take a fuckload of damn ass not even that bad
this guy's an elite I literally was like oh it's not that bad to take a little
bit of damage against a regular enemy but I found out he's an elite bro that's
so embarrassing for you I'm gonna I can't I can't kill you which sucks but
I'm going to at least hit you.
I still don't think I could have killed you last time.
It'll haunt me though.
Razor Tooth.
Razor Tooth is crazy.
Whenever you play a card upgraded for the rest of combat, you know what?
We could use some Frost and some Draw, man.
My girl its first and girl at the start of your second turn gain energy man
Sorry guys, I'm out of cheese
I'm thrilled that you are also on the side, I would call it the right side of history.
when it comes to, uh,
cracked out uncle,
it's still stunning to me
that people will look at
the coolest thing that's ever happened
in history, and
be like, this sucks.
Oh no, everyone's having so much fun
at that kid's birthday party.
When that kid turns 40, he's gonna be
so fucked up from having too much fun.
And also, I'm sorry to
play in the hits, but the
They're liars man. They're liars. They're saying, oh, everybody's got an uncle like this in their family.
No, they don't bro. This is the one uncle who's like this.
This is the one person on earth who's like this. Your uncle just got like, got drunk, started an argument and then passed out.
You do not know anybody this cool.
We are kind of like dark orb coded man.
My wife and I were dying last night, watching it.
I'm so happy to hear that.
I'm happy to hear that cracked-out uncle has found his audience.
What the fuck are these guys, man?
Eh...
I mean, you still... you're gonna wanna play this at some point.
You're gonna wanna play this.
My uncle is a retired fire chief crackhead from Brantford.
He is legit like that.
I don't know.
Does Brantford have a reputation that I'm not familiar with?
By the way, it might.
And I may just genuinely not know, but he was doing frog splashes on balloons and shit
like that.
That's awesome, man.
And then Wayne Gretzky left that town.
Wayne Gretzky said, I've got to get the fuck out of Brantford.
That's so crazy.
By the way, you're all dead.
That's gotta be a pass.
Oh shit.
Oh shit.
Motherfucker, man.
This motherfucker, not this motherfucker again.
You know what?
We got two beautiful potions.
We probably should have popped this one.
That same uncle was at Wayne Gretzky's wedding?
Oh shit.
We cracked out, cracked out uncle or the other one.
Let's fucking fucking do it, man.
Damn, we're kind of beating that ass.
You're right, it would sadly mean that cracked out uncle was at Mar-a-Lago.
Which, nah, not my goat, man.
Wait, I should've just dualcasted and killed you.
Whatever, I guess we'll kill you anyway.
We literally bodied him.
The first hand you draw each combat is upgraded.
Ha ha ha.
We do need block.
But I don't think it's gonna come from hologram, although a hologram that draws into a gnome,
that's a three block, I sleep on three block.
I think it's like this.
Hologram is going a little, bro.
You guys, you got a lot to learn about the defect, man.
That's all I'm gonna say, you got a lot to learn about this guy.
I sleep on the fourth best card the defect has.
I sleep in a big bed with my wife.
you kills you well more or less California King no that's too big it's
actually it's a queen size bed but I I've long said for me personally a king
size bed is just a little too big a queen size bed is perfect a king size
But it's like I don't think you
Like hate your spouse if you sleep on a queen in a king-size bed
But there's times I've been in a hotel and we've had a king-size bed and I've been like I've lost her
She's too far away, bro. A queen is perfect. You're able to get your own space
But not that much
Essential with pets. I forgot we got a lot of dog people in chat. That's I mean I get it if your dog is gonna be sleeping with you
Makes a lot of sense
What are you upgrade you remember?
Ghibli it and I expect you to understand this okay before you fight an elite you upgrade your B
Before you fight a boss who upgrade your M. So what upgrades are M?
M? Darkness and null upgrade our M for sure. Maybe darkness most of all.
I'm holding banana. Oh, I can't wait to hold the man that's tomorrow, bro
Can't wait to hold banana tomorrow. Oh, that's gonna be fucking awesome
Literally don't play shatter yet. We want our dark orb to have a chance to get fat
Did you get grinder premium is worth the money I'm still on my free trial, bro
No spoilers. W Grinder. Unless they did some shit.
In which case L Grinder. I've stunned you.
I've stunned you on my darkness term.
I think we definitely love this and then we don't want a channel too early, we want you
to get stronger.
So we're going to hit you once and play nothing else.
And then next turn we'll evoke this for 30.
Hello darkness plus my old friend.
Oh wait it didn't even evoke, that's awesome.
By the way that was a plus too, I just briefly I had to focus on the gameplay, I apologize.
And you're still not attacking me? Are you stupid bro? You're gonna die! You're gonna die man!
You're hurting him!
Oh I can only fucking kill you with one card you idiot!
And I still got a potion!
Okay let me remind myself, what does my deck do?
This is so crazy. A 1 energy 29 block. Ended exhausts.
Crazy as it sounds, I don't even think we want a spinner, man.
We don't want to channel one glass every turn.
Now what does glass do?
I have to remind myself.
But basically if you channel a glass, it does 4 damage to all enemies?
enemies? Yes. It starts with 4, does 4 damage to all enemies, decrements to 3. And then if
you evoke it, I think it does 2 times its focus to all enemies. But I think we're better
off just getting, like our darkness orbs are the ones that are doing the burst for us.
I think we take another genetic algorithm as crazy as it sounds, man. Start each combat
with four additional energy.
At the start of your turn, spend five gold to gain energy.
To me, it seems very unlikely
we're gonna need four energy on turn one.
I honestly would rather keep my gold,
but then every three combats.
I mean, we could get four relics.
You know what? Can I say something? Five gold...
Oh, that's every turn, though.
So I was thinking like turn one only.
But you don't get to choose, right? Like you have to do it.
I do feel like toy box and then just not doing combat because our deck is already pretty good.
And then what do we want to evaporate first?
Your left most.
War paint can definitely evaporate first.
And then, I don't think you choose, I think you're forced to spend the gold every time.
Yeah, I don't think you choose at all.
And then I think, this one, I think we want to, these two have to last the longest.
So we go Canon next.
And then I would probably rather have Happy Flower at the very end.
That seems, that seems like a dub to me.
And I really do think we're in like a leap-maxing territory, man.
Go here, fight, fight, fight, pick a side, this could be, this could be awesome.
It could also be horrible if Act 2 gets, I seem to remember Act 2 from Slay the Spire
1 always being the one that fucked me up.
But this ain't Slay the Spire 1, bro.
literally ain't your daddy slay this buyer I can't afford to play this one
anymore
act 2 was the hardest I mean once you got to the ascension where the enemies
did more damage you would be like wow act act one so easy my deck so awesome
and then all of a sudden the birds would just take you for like 45 on turn two and
you go oh okay so they'll fuck myself then
That ass bro, we don't even need that null back.
If that's moving up, then I'm moving out.
A rainbow is an interesting card.
Retain your hand in the first turn of combat.
Tesla coil is also interesting. We're not really lightning coated though. We have some
lightning but not that much. If anything, rainbow. First hand is upgraded though. It's
true. Oh you could retain and then have a big energy turn too because of candelabra.
You're not, you're a joke kid bro!
Plus that means I don't have to add any extra cards into my deck.
And that means we can save a genetic algorithm if we draw it, even if we don't need it.
Actually, I fucked up, we're killing enemies too fast, aren't we?
Save that for a turn, because you might need to block.
We need to, we need to let the enemies live long enough to play our other genetic algorithm.
I just got unbanned after spouting anti-Canadian slander.
Who unbanned you though?
That was not me.
I literally don't want you to die.
So I'm not going to kill you.
I need to play a genetic algorithm.
I didn't...
You got banned six months on Twitch for a Canadian...
What did you say, man?
Oh my god!
Slash user jcain. What on earth did you say?
Are you telling the truth your first message in my chat was
Earlier this month. I think I'm being baited. I think this is why we can't have nice things etc. etc.
It's done, bro
I mean, it's possible you may have said it in someone else's chat, but I ain't the one,
baby.
Uh-uh.
Now, I'm pissed.
I am the one, baby.
Don't need a gun, baby.
It's the mistake, baby.
Sorry, there's so many different.
Eventually, we're building a...
My vernacular is a deckbuilder and I've added so many stims and the stims are now triggering
other stims.
Like I'm going stimpin' it.
My vernacular is going stimpin' it.
And it's actually bad.
Like it's too much.
Yeah, baby band, baby yeah.
I'm the one, baby.
We definitely are gonna want some AOE out there.
And who got you that ban?
The one with the ban but who don't need a gun?
And who got you that gun?
The one!
Whoa, I am the one.
Calling movie quotes stimms is like very anti-millennial, so I apologize for that, but I am lay unique.
Shit, we do.
going stimpin' it, bro.
I do, I sometimes I do feel like I might be the reference guy final boss.
There are, and I don't think that's a compliment necessarily at all, but I'm gonna take it
as one.
I don't give a fuck about plasma or loop.
Our run is already, it does what it needs to do.
you need to give me something incredible
i fucking hate jona hill bro
not for the shit that everybody else hates them for
but because his character in
this is the end did irreparable damage to reference guys now whenever you hit a
reference everyone goes well you have the sickest references
everyone's always talking about your references bro
quoting funny things can be funny okay
We expect there to be a damn original bit of like bespoke small batch humor every time you do anything
Who do you think I am bro? Connor O'Malley? Like some of we gotta work with what we got man
Magged um literally just let those dark orbs do what they do man
I don't know I think this is why we need more block in the deck.
I will play a glasswork nonetheless we take one damage I don't even I don't want to evoke
my orbs man.
I want those Dark Orbs to stay in the cooker a little longer.
We're suveding them.
Now this is what we want to see.
Because you can play this.
This does like a billion damage.
And then presumably at some point we ruin your life.
27 damage in one turn.
I am the one.
Seneca of Marble's Feral. This is also a skip.
And this is just with you. Would you rather
rest, fight an enemy, Relic? Or would you rather fight an enemy to see if we have to rest? We'd
We'd rather fight the enemy first.
Eight block?
I think you save...
Am I crazy to say you save genetic algorithm?
Yeah, cause it guarantees you a stun on this turn.
If you just play it instead.
Why do you just say I am the one, the one, the one instead of the actual lyrics?
Because I've literally only heard it in Counter-Strike.
To be honest with you, I have absolutely no idea how it goes.
Except for, don't need a gun.
I'm like 90% sure he says don't need a gun.
Don't wake him up.
plating every turn.
Can we draw?
No, would be a crazy draw.
Whatever.
Hello, sir.
uh... it a much better turn to draw no to be honest with you
we kind of did this backwards though we should
evoke and do damage den zap
taking two damage not a big deal at all
what kind of deck is this
it's still and i'm not even being facetious is a very rare type of uh...
defect deck where you actually use darkness orbs instead of just pretending
they don't exist. And the beauty is you get to add zero cards into your deck and
feel like you're doing the right thing. Now as much as genetic algorithm would
get better, we do kind of need to do more damage. And we don't have any cards that
went up great to do that. So we do need to add something like that to the deck.
Good Relic, please. Good Relic.
And that's different.
That's awesome!
We actually could really benefit from an X-Cost card now that we have Candelabra and Chandelier.
I think you literally... Well, first let's see what our colorless card is.
We really want block.
I think the mall, I think we'll, we'll thunder, zap, shatter, darkness orbit the front, play
a block.
where's my genetic algorithm 13 damage literally just play these I can get away
with that too
you're not attacking so we would be stupid not to play these
I don't know what to do with it.
I'm going to duplicate a red mask.
Garage is not...
Maybe we do need a loop so that our darkness orbs get stronger faster.
Like watch this.
Tomo do you want to be on the camera Tomo do you want to be on the camera Tomo Tomo
would you like to be on the camera he's getting suspicious his ears have gone back and he's
like Tomo would you like to be on the camera would you like to prove that you're really
a cat and I'm not being schizophrenic Tomo I'm not talking to me I'm sleeping in the
Trump again it's woke Trump we're gonna tear of Chibley we're gonna tear of
Chibley 10% for every half-star below five that he's given I saw the TV glow
on letterboxed you see right now he's got 40% tariffs tomorrow who knows could
Maybe more could be less.
You shatter darkness orbit the front so that it gets triggered by loop and then you have
genetic algorithm for next turn.
Tom all got scared of the voice and ran away.
The animals do have good instincts.
Draw?
Problem is I don't want to evoke this just to kill one of these, man.
But you have to play your cards.
You don't have to play this, but it's not...
We'll get him anyway.
Oh, because we got that extra damage.
This actually triggering twice. It's huge.
Doesn't it do... Oh, it's only on evocation.
A little bit of an overkill. That's okay.
We don't need to play that genetic algorithm either, which is big.
The mansion is closing and Kingston Man do something.
That's actually horrible news, because that opens in my third year of university and was
awesome.
I remember, I think on Tuesdays they had like $4 pints, which in 2009 was still really good,
to be honest.
really awesome
literally we just
but that part of i mean now we're like a hyper local posting that part of
kingston is uh...
it's changing fast man and i think it's changing for the better in the sense
that like it's nice that there's some housing there that doesn't suck ass
But it's changing the kind of grimy, like,
student feel of the area for sure.
Might replace it with like a sweet green
or something like that.
They're changing the other,
they're gentrifying the hub, man.
Not the hub, not the sacred hub.
Whatever, bro
You do an 18 damage does feel like a genetic algorithm is in order
If only to increment it efficiently
You know what we might as well
Actually went super well
Is Kingston where snow grew up?
No, mean streets of Toronto, Ontario, I'm sure.
Maybe like Oshawa, somewhere in the GTA, for sure.
Pisses me off that I pay into the student union building I never got to use.
Bro, you're telling me.
Student fees were going through the roof.
I graduated the year they opened the Ark, man.
All I knew about was the peck and the the J dock man
Does anybody listening to me?
The thing is I want to play four energies worth of stuff
Do we just not play?
We don't play a shadow shield
We play a cool headed, which gives us a genetic, a zap, a loop, and a null.
And then at some point this was going to give me a bunch of block.
And that did not happen.
So we'll be playing this.
Supposed to be a lot of block in there.
Holy shit, the spot is closed.
They're closing places that opened up when I was in like my last year of university,
man.
This is what getting old is like.
Soon they'll be closing places I ain't even heard of.
That's fucked up.
doesn't seem right quite frankly. 20 you're doing like 26, or two of those then.
They were planning on closing the university too.
Honestly. That doesn't surprise me.
Ah, we strike you and then a dual cast finishes this fuck-ass elite fight anyway.
I left Kingston the year they closed the goat.
Yo, the sleepless goat, yo!
One of the all-time stinkiest restaurants that had a bitching grilled cheese.
But also, great anarchist cafe to finally confess to your best friend that you have
a crush on them and have for like six years and then like sour your relationship forever.
Yes, sir, but the grilled cheese is fucking fire, bro.
The grilled cheese is actually fucking awesome
and they had a lot of board games.
I think they were anarchists, man.
I think they were anarchists, which is cool, I think.
We go this way.
being able to rest and upgrade I mean orb slots is also kind of like mission
critical man this is such a cool upgrade though but the orb slots are like so
important for us. This is so cool. It's new. This fucker again, huh? I think you say
duplicator for a boss fight, but you have to use a potion because he's very, very likely
to give us a potion.
I'm literally not going to attack you because I don't want your bullshit bees in my deck.
I just joined, what is this deck?
You wouldn't know it from our draw so far.
And if I may say so, it literally is good, but our deck is crazy, crazy hand.
Our deck is summoning a bunch of darkness orbs and then evoking them all at once.
And you don't even play, you don't even evoke them yet.
it would be beautiful to weaken you
i think it has to be done
i don't have any other block really
still taking twenty one damage
gain energy not draw five cards
whatever we get arrested that can't fire anyway man
you should be dead next turn
you should be really hurt next turn.
Am I just- You gotta, you gotta send it, man.
You gotta send it down there.
Yeah, you're fucked, bud.
Useless.
Useless and no potion.
Decent rest, great smith.
We definitely need to work on our block cards, man.
We still have very weak blocking.
Just adding like a leap would be so awesome.
can certainly play this, can certainly play that.
Oddly smooth, actually kind of helpful.
That's true, I'm so desensitized to it.
But oddly smooth stone is actually pretty big for us.
I think if anything, you duplicate your loop.
Goofy ass sentence sounds like it shouldn't be real.
Huge.
Haven't actually seen the new Dune. It's literally peak.
You gotta see it, man.
It is. I know like the book Andes are not always thrilled with the decisions that have been made.
I'll literally take damage. I don't even care.
Save genetic.
But Dune and Dune 2 are both peak.
It's not, don't call it shallow slop!
They're literally good, man.
I don't think it's the best film of all time.
I do think it's really fucking good.
Dune is way too fucking long.
It's not good enough to warrant that length.
Buddy, Wale, you see how long the books are.
Probably longer.
If I, I don't know, but I would guess that the books are in all likelihood a lot longer.
Definitely should have played a frantic escape.
I think I might be stupid.
Nah, we got a potion to get out of it anyway.
So we definitely need a glasswork.
And now finally, the darkness orbs are going to be doing something.
And now you die.
And now, and now you come very close to dying.
Also it's not even that long, man.
Jean Diehlman is like 181 minutes long.
I would rather watch Dune Part 2 personally, but ask me again tomorrow.
I do feel like you, I mean, Buffer is like, that's a patrician's card if I'm being
honest, but echo form is kind of like a given, man.
Four hours of housework.
Apparently it's peak, man.
At the start of combat, put a random power from your drop-eye into your hand is free
to play.
Oh!
We definitely want to hit campfires.
I'm liking the campfire elite paths on this one, man.
Now you can't remove loop.
Loop is still good.
Like don't insult loop.
but it could be an echo form.
Oh, it could be echo form, man.
Oh, the loop is still really good.
You're right, I should remove Thunder.
It's actually probably better than removing a strike.
He will forget to play Algo, just watch.
Buddy, it's 25 block for one energy.
Like who gives a fuck if it goes to 27?
The St. Catherine Heigl, bro.
Nuke won.
Gain some block.
That being said, it is the right play.
I'm not playing it
because you said I was gonna forget to play it.
I'm playing it because it's the right play, okay?
You're dead, lad.
Chiblee, you see the power of this little robot?
I do think we could use a charge battery.
We need one more block, something
to smooth over the consistency a little bit.
Then this should be cut thunder unless you know what?
take this path instead and then here cut thunder because that doesn't cost us an
elite and we should be pretty good against elites right now
sorry y'all
heinous absolutely heinous what they've done to me there at least give me an
Echo form as penance. Yes! All this forgiven!
And it gets upgraded! Yippee!
Why not duplicate Echo form?
Because you're duplicating every other card at the deck too, so you're not any more likely to draw Echo form, man!
You're doubling all your powers!
Ghibli, they don't get it.
Then Ghibli...
They not like us, man. They not like us.
No, no, we don't play a zap here.
We want you to get stronger.
You can echo form and echo form.
Yes, I know.
I've been playing Slay the Spires since 2017.
I'm aware of that.
Shatter on this.
Source.
I made it up.
But damn if it didn't feel good.
Yeah actually I was going to say I've played every card but I don't think that's true.
Even with all of my experience in this game I'm not 100% sure that I've ever played dramatic
entrance.
I think it's skippable.
Or sorry not dramatic entrance, grand finale.
I literally picked the exact opposite card.
54 gold.
I'm just worried that if like this isn't that bad.
I'm worried if we get you.
We won't be able to remove, but we're going to we're going to get enough.
And then we smith loop needs its upgrade back
Carlito wants his hand back
Huge echo form w echo form
W zap I
Do kind of feel shuffle all your cards into your draw pile draw five cards
I think you play a cool headed 15 block.
I think we just do things the easy way, man.
The first card you play gets played twice.
Very important.
With six energy, no less.
I think you'd do it simple mode, man.
I think you'd do it simple mode.
Double up on.
No, you know what?
You double up on.
No.
Our good.
It's literally good that our cards are ethereal because our bad cards that we
don't play will get exhausted and our good cards will get played so they won't
get exhausted.
Do I look like a Billy Gath, bro?
So we double up on you. Play genetic algorithm anyway.
Three dark orbs out there.
No shot. We're taking damage.
Is doubling genetic algo scale it twice? It should.
I believe the answer is yes.
But the other thing is like you don't really need it to get to like 90 block
In my my personal opinion is you don't need it to get to 90 block
Honestly dual cast doesn't do enough for me with no loop in the situation I
I think you drink your potion here.
Draw something better.
Double up on loop is really good.
And then evoke.
Evoking the orbs kind of sucks.
I think we'd like to wait a turn for that.
And literally that's our turn.
I know it looks busted.
That's our turn.
We need the loop to make this good enough
that a dual cast is substantially more effective.
Not even a dual cast, but just a evoke.
Double darkness.
I think we gotta draw.
Shadow Shield is better, I think.
Taking two damage.
Taking two damage, I do not care.
Especially because I'm going to play this.
Do you guys do hairline ratings?
What do you mean, you guys? It's just me, man.
And I had to stop doing it because there was too much demand.
People kept asking for refunds after I gave them a zero, man.
You know what channel you're watching.
Thoughts on David protein bars having...
Wait, does that say 80% more calories than advertised?
Is that true?
That's really funny.
I've often thought, like, how can we trust nutritional labels, man?
Doesn't a chemist just test the food, like, one time?
Like what's to stop the Pirates Booty Company from, like, testing the Pirates Booty, waiting
Even until they get low nutritional information and then just adding like plutonium to the
flour, man, to make it taste better.
To me it doesn't make any sense, I guess is all I'm trying to say.
They don't test it, it's a calculation based on the ingredients.
So that makes way more sense.
But what's to stop them from lying?
Actually, that's way worse!
Because then they could just lie about the ingredients.
And don't say that's illegal.
Are you naive?
You need block.
I want a better orb out there, but it is what it is.
Easy.
I would like to do a cast and then put a glass orb at the back and then we still have two
energy.
Holy cow.
Where's my loop?
I need another genetic algorithm stat.
Oh!
Yes!
Oh, yes.
And now the dark orbs are poppin', bro.
First card is played twice.
Literally has to be this.
Literally did not have to be that at all.
Wait, wait, wait, let's talk about this.
This is not bait, but I realize, does Enel realize that taking showers at 5.30 is the
most normal time to take a shower?
I cannot fathom how someone thinks this is a crazy time for a shower.
Setting aside people who have 9 to 5s, which is the obvious reason why it's so normal,
it makes so much sense to shower a few hours before you go to bed.
Does he just not understand because he doesn't have a job?
Okay, first off, you're wrong, and I'll tell you why.
The most normal time to shower is in the morning, because that's when most people do it.
And that's the definition of normal.
Secondly, if showering close to bedtime is peak, then the closer you shower to bedtime,
the peaker it is.
So I understand you need some time for your hair to dry.
A lot of people can't afford hair dryers these days, even though you find them at the side
of the road all the time for free.
So you maybe take a shower at eight.
Pop out the shower at 8.15.
feeling pretty good by 10, 10, 30, okay? No problem. Certainly not 5, 30. And also, I'm not going to be
called unemployed by Meatloafing Cat, who's literally, they're 9 to 5, is me when I'm live 9 to 2.
They're a professional chatter, so don't let them bait you with that one.
That motherfucker there is not real. Hang on, watch this. This is why they call me Mr. Glass.
We do not care.
I will give you blessing of the forge for a relic.
Absolutely.
Backabecco is literally worse than the potion, I think.
Better block.
Is that two cards is a lot better.
attack steal more damage it's perfect timing just as my voice is starting to
wear out we're ready to go man let's cut a strike you're right I'm supposed to
remove thunder that's why on the map it says X thunder here don't draw thunder
don't draw thunder. Loop, I can live with that. I can live with that man. 25 damage on
the first fucking turn. You foul motherfucker. Um, well obviously it's a great time for this.
Can we play darkness twice next turn?
Yes.
Or do we play Null to up a darkness with scale and so fast?
But Null will mean we take less damage.
This is the way.
And then literally play nothing because we need our darkness orbs to pop.
Ah fuck it.
Wait, we already have a loopie. I play nothing. You know, it seems insane
I'd rather take no damage I guess I could just
Take no damage by playing my block cards
That's a that's a novel thought
Never really considered that before 30 damage
Literally obviously dual cast is crazy. It'll do 108 plus 60 since that doesn't kill you I
Literally just want to stack block and let loop do what loop does man
Basically the exact same situation.
I mean, it's just a genetic algorithm, man.
We don't even have to evoke this shit.
Surely we're going to, oh, but then if we, it's certainly too united, do 132 damage or
something.
I think you could at least make the case.
It's better next turn man. I'm saying it's possible. I'm saying it's possible
Eat dirt bro. Oh
Oh, this run is looking promising so far.
I'm so embarrassed it's taken me this long to realize that that's bait.
People and it's been a whole week and it's not your fault.
It's my fault for not recognizing it earlier.
People wait till the end of the run and then type, this run looks promising.
It's like masterful level.
Yeah, they keep typing this run has potential that I miss out on some, is this a meme from
another chat that I'm only now becoming wise to?
He buffers incredible men.
New bait just dropped.
Now you're not going to draw Echo.
It's literally better to draw it on turn two when we have more energy.
Fuck, I didn't draw Echo for mother fucker.
Nah, it's peak.
We want this first, then we want this.
And you know what?
You can go ahead and get out there.
Our glass orb will trigger multiple times, which is actually like a surprising amount
of damage.
No, because we haven't played Loop yet, bro.
Heartbreaking.
forgot that he hasn't played in loop. I think we want to shatter first, then get a darkness
orb out so that it's at the front for the future. Buffer blocks 18, which I'm gonna
consider good enough. We obviously need loop and echo. Two genetic algorithm on the same
turn. Not awesome. But the dark orb presides, man. Next turn will be a crazy echo form.
an echo form and the loop with buffer blocking all 22.
They're done, bro. It's over.
We got to play all our setup cards.
Literally just go crazy on them.
Don't evoke this garbage. It's not necessary.
We need you to get looped up so you become crazy.
Now at some point, something's got to give.
Get mugged.
Bro being good at this game looks awesome when you get there.
If I see him, I'll be sure to give him the message.
Name that movie.
No shot, you know that movie.
Zero percent chance.
Absolutely no way.
Blood simple.
East of Eden, you fucking got it.
I don't believe it.
You're a legend, man.
You're a legend.
Haters will say I've quoted it 300 times in the last two days.
It's always been the exact same quote.
And you know what?
Good call by the haters.
Good call.
Put some respect on M.M. at Walsh, bro.
Put some respect on Dan Hedaya.
Worst turn in history, just dropped.
Honestly.
Sorry to say, bro.
I would prefer not to.
Well, yeah, I would prefer not to.
What's in our draw pile?
Oh, the big boy.
Get your munk of ass out of here, bro.
Muck, muck, muck, muck, muck.
I think we do this.
It hurts you pretty bad.
Kusaragami value?
Kusaragami actually doing something?
I'm the best.
Sorry, sorry to call Luigi.
Luigi Mario?
i'm the best
you're back tonight dismantle you bro as a section three
act like you've been there before
you just a movie soundboard on
without blood symbol was a book first and louise is from like mario party
and shit
uh... slash markers say this by air
to you for
6, 8, who do you appreciate?
I will send you to my wife's stream five minutes early.
I hope you've enjoyed your stay today.
And I'll be back tomorrow for some unc-cs, man.
Later.
