    After 2 runs I also think it will probably be nerfed. What was the 2-cost 270?

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I had played an abandoned it a few years back, decided to give it another shot (I guess because Edgerunners S2 was coming up...that was kind of a disappointment). It felt to me like a few things have been made easier. I kind of blasted through mostly main story stuff, then ran face first into Adam Smasher. Died a few times, probably not going to put in the work to figure out how to beat him, or load up an earlier save to level up. I'm not an RPG guy - poring over big tech trees is really not my thing. Sadly, I wanted to be a netrunner, but barely understood any of its systems / cyberware.

    Slay The Spire 2

    Got A10 wins with each character. A big update will be dropping on the 12th, and I'm really hoping for a new character. Alternate Acts 2 and 3 would be great too.

    Hollow Knight Silksong

    Did a Beast crest playthrough to prove to myself it sucks (it does). The pogo is ridiculous (you fling yourself forward and down then hit - if you bump into an enemy or hazard along the way you get hit) and the heal is sketchy as hell. Yes, it increases your attack speed and damage. The risk is not worth it as a lot of time I wasn't able to get the full 3 masks out of it. Just use Flea Oil or Flintstate with a real crest.

    Also did a Hunter crest (the one you start with) playthrough. I don't like the pogo but after learning to use Beast's it was a walk in the park. I wanted to see how it felt when upgraded by Eva. Didn't really notice much of a difference, I guess I take too much damage :) Or don't care that things die a little quicker if I wasn't taking damage anyway.
    Accidentally got the 30h 100% speedrun achievement, so then decided to go for the 5h completion one. Initial approach was cutting literally every corner, not going out of my way to collect anything, and I ended up eating a lot of shit at the High Halls gauntlet. It turns out 5h is actually quite a comfortable amount of time. I got 8 mask shards, the Wanderer crest, Pollip Pouch (don't think it was really necessary), 3 craftmetals for Magma Bell, Cogflies, Sawtooth Circlet, a few memory lockets...finished in under 4h.

    I started looking at doing the speedrun achievements for OG Hollow Knight too but wasn't having as much fun, so gonna shelve that idea for now.

    Scoundrel and Regicide

    Games that can be played with a standard deck of playing cards. A tutorial popped up in my youtube recommendations.

    Scoundrel is a solo dungeon crawler where you pick up health potions (hearts) and weapons (diamonds) to reduce incoming monster (spades and clubs) damage but your weapons are restricted to slaying them in descending order so you need to do some careful risk assessment. You encounter 'rooms' of 4 cards and can choose to interact with 3 of the cards (and leave the 4th for the next turn) or skip the room and put those 4 on the bottom of the deck - but you can't do that twice in a row so you might end up faceplanting into 4 big monsters and die.

    Regicide is 1-4p but I played solo. You're trying to slay all 12 face cards, one at a time, and each suit gives you a power (spades - reduce enemy attack damage, clubs - double your attack damage, hearts - put cards from your discard pile on the bottom of your draw deck, diamonds - draw cards). When you are dealt damage you have to discard cards from hand that add up to at least the amount of damage dealt.

    I thought they were pretty cool, well designed games. I messed up the rules on Regicide a couple times though (playing combos that went higher than 10, only counting shield debuffs on the enemy for a single turn instead of until it is defeated). There's a helper app I downloaded that I think will be useful with it.

    I couldn't get into anything of theirs post-Watershed...until now. I LOVE their newest album (The Last Will and Testament). There are even growls on a few tracks.

    I logged in to an old alt already for the times I end up back there. I don't vote/post/comment on it, but I decided I would rather do that than use new reddit. And I didn't want to log in with my main account because I don't want there to be any signal to them that "mods who left are returning" or something like that. I guess they might still be able to figure out it's "me" based on browser fingerprinting.

    You should inform them that the $500 bill was discontinued in 1945.

    This is a very unexpected crossover for me, but it works! Go check out Garth Marenghi's Darkplace if you haven't seen it yet.

    Could maybe add choir or gospel tags to this post.

    Any more info on why it got chopped by 90% or so?

    The Wednesday filing showed that the state was awarded $219.5 billion, but the penalty was ultimately reduced to $25 billion.

    Any more info on why it got chopped by 90% or so?
