Lazy Bear posted:The Mine Flayer is actually a Dungeons and Dragons reference. Illithids, or 'Mind Flayers', are squid-headed humanoid monstrosities with terrible psychic domination powers. They also grapple onto the heads of victims they can't, or don't want to, dominate and suck their brain out through their skull. The Mine Flayer name is specifically a reference to Mind Flayers, yeah. From what I recall his business with the bell is some sort of Dark Souls or Bloodborne reference.

The Door Frame posted:Supply drop has made this game much more charitable, I think that the devs took their critics' words to heart I know for sure I've gotten 1, 2, 3, and 5. I may have gotten 4 on one run, but I haven't gotten them all in a single run for the LP yet. There's a special unlockable for that. As for the elevator, it requires a lot of money/keys so I'm trying to get through the secret floor to build up more money first.

One reason for elevator usage is that some of the bounty hunts you get are for enemies that only appear on certain floors, like Lead Maidens or Shelletons. Also on floors below two, you get a pick of a few weapons at the start. Even if I am only starting with the pistol, killing Lead Maidens immediately instead of spending 10 minutes going through the first floor is pretty much the way to go. Apoligies for no video yet, my last attempt crashed because I was drunk and forgot to record video, and I've been in sort of a depression spiral since then which I am currently coming out of. I'll get another one...eventually!

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:Haven't unlocked the Makeshift Cannon, but from the Wiki it looks like it would probably one-shot a boss. Does anyone in this thread actually have it unlocked? I've played this game to the point that I've unlocked everything besides the last few hunting quest guns and am still only part way through the one that requires me to kill 30 Shelletons. Did people actually grind out that quest using the shortcuts or just use a cheat engine or something? I ground it out using elevators and letting ammomancers resummon shelletons. As long as there's at least one other enemy the ammomancer will summon up to three, so you can get through it on four fourth floor trips. The makeshift cannon doesn't recognize the DPS cap and does bonkers damage to bosses, the downside being that it only has one shot. If you can find a way around that, say with something like duct tape, you are set for life. I duct taped it to a charge shot and chumped every single boss in about two hours.

Obligatum VII posted:Edit 2: Here's a challenge run for Scruffy that I would love to see: Reset until you get Casey in the first floor shop. Buy it and then complete a full run using only the bat. Given it does not have ammo and there's nothing you absolutely could not kill with it (though there are certainly varying degrees of difficulty in that endeavor), I think it'd make for a pretty interesting scenario. I had a pretty hot run with Cog of Battle using Casey, managed to get to Lich phase 2 largely using only it for floor clearing and some for boss fighting. That thing is a monster, I almost got the Dragun's heart in one cycle with it. Skippy is wrong and Casey is amazing.

CzarChasm posted:So, apparently Gun Reaper can get jammed. That's neat. I mean, I know anyone can get jammed, but to see it... I believe the Rad Gun can stack up its power infinitely, but reloading past 5 or 6 is pretty much a chore. It is a really good room clearing weapon, fire off a few shots and reload up to four before you start a new room and watch the fireworks fly. If you can manage to get up to 8 reloads the damage gets downright insane. There's not a specific synergy between the two like there is for having Trashcannon and Junk, but the two do have mechanical effects that will occur together.

I resynched after Wallmonger and then do it again right before the lich fight. I really have no idea what caused it but I'm not going to fix it by uploading a new video and hopefully not delete my commentary again I feel bad for having the audio issues but honestly I've got no time to fix it.

White Coke posted:Scruffy, is everyone else in your community theater production of Legally Blonde also in the military? We've got about five active duty folks and one more retired in this production. Most of the cast and crew is filled out by dependents or civil service folks. My first show was a cast of 13 with 2 active duty (myself included), second show was about twice as large with three active duty. mandatory lesbian posted:honestly i was talking more about vocal quality, you have a deep voice but hey if you got range enough to play a woman more power to ya I sing higher than my speaking voice, I can't project well enough at bass levels. I do swing a pretty good falsetto and I've got a thing for voices so I've got decent range. It helps that they aren't expecting a good woman part, they're expecting a Monty Python woman part.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:You use the Wax Wings to cheat at Winchesters game and get the BSG, a gun which kills every enemy in the room with a single shot. You then proceed to clear every room down to the Dragun with the Witch Pistol. You then go down to Bullet Hell, openly state that it's not the place to conserve your ammo needlessly, then proceed to clear it out with all your guns other than the BSG besides one or two rooms. The best thing I can think of to describe it is this: Jade Star is doing XCOM 2 and he usually doesn't use a lot of his shitwrecker options. He calls it Giant Robotic Crab Syndrome. As soon as you use your shitwrecker option, something will come along that will make you wish you saved it. Saving your trump card for a moment where it will do the best good feels really good, until you die before you can use your trump card. I HAVEN'T REACHED THAT POINT YET.

GeneralYeti posted:Here's a question: does the Robot take damage from the Electrified Blank? Since he's immune to electricity and all. I assume you mean the tasers, the electrified rubber bullet dudes. Robot isn't immune to electricity so he would still take damage from that. It's less electricity damage at that point and more contact damage. Samovar posted:What's the maximum number of gluon stones one can have? I'm not sure what the max guon stones is, the most I've had at once was three and I lost them before finding a fourth. As for getting devolved, I'm not sure. Enemies usually get devolved into something with lower health so it's hard to say for sure if they're taking ongoing damage or if the new health limit is really low.

Mooseontheloose posted:Can you do a max curse, max cool run? Coolness and curse both affect your chances of drops in opposite ways. Curse will lower your chance to get drops after clearing a room, coolness raises it. There is a special item that will give you coolness scaling with the amount of curse you have but once you get to 13-14 curse like I had in that run you're going to have a bad time. Unless you've got a really good way of killing jammed enemies, and I didn't. Theoretically, there is no max and both of them can stack infinitely.

That exact video was actually the first I'd seen of the game It's not really much of a spoiler, but I don't plan on showing it off. If you're dedicated you can play as the Cultist, it just requires two methods of control and killing off one of the players a lot. The problem with that is that in co-op mode, if you've got a dead player, every chest will be a revival chest. So you don't have as many upgrade opportunities. The Cultist's past is a one-on-one gunfight with the main character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mW2uhkjrWo
