Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!
Haha, xylitol is also "some weird sugar alcohol". Perhaps the weirdest.
It's usually a whole bunch mixed up, and not usually xylitol. At least not high up on the ingredient list. Instead it's other sugar alcohols like sorbitol, erythritol, or maltitol. Xylitol is deadly to dogs, but also to bacteria, so some gums do contain it and then advertise it as especially good for bad breath.
Eclipse gum, for example, uses sorbitol, maltitol, aspartame, and acesulfame K as sweeteners. Orbit does use xylitol, but it's way down on the ingredient list after the "less than 2%" indicator. I couldn't find a Trident or Ice Breakers that uses Xylitol. Not that I tried that hard.
Yeah, but gum does a pretty good job of actually cleaning your teeth.
The vault quest always seems gives you one or two upgraded rings. I often get +4 plate armor, a +3/4 wand, or an upgraded artifact. And you get to choose between all of these things!
I definitely do not miss hunting down golems. What a waste of time and food that quest was. Especially when you sometimes didn't get the imp until floor 19. You had to waste a ton of time waiting for the needed enemies to even spawn.
The new vault quest is superb. I've only died once, and that was to like a 38 damage boss hit I wasn't expecting, and for some dumb reason I was hoarding my health potions.
I love waiting to start the quest until I'm starving and low on health because it gives you a full heal and full satiety when you do.
The friendly ghost quest is different. You kill one enemy and it spawns as soon as you start the quest. Rotating the enemy keeps it fresh. But hunting down monks or golems is so boring compared to the vault. Asking to have that back is like asking to have the old gold-mining quest back in rotation with the modern cave quest.
That's funny, because people aren't quiet in libraries anymore. They're just normal spaces, now. No quieter than a bookstore.
Ah, no, I was definitely saying that, and I still think "retro" is definitely incorrect. It was just confused that your first reply didn't actually contradict me. I don't mind at all that you think I'm wrong, but I'm not convinced. When everyone else but gamers seem to understand the difference between retro and classic/vintage/antique, it's the gamers using it wrong.
I don't see how your first paragraph contradicts anything I said, so I'm confused by your use of "actually". You can call old games "classic", although I'm not sure any of them are old enough to be called "antique". Maybe an old Pong home machine or something. Those words all largely mean the same thing.
I would say "retro style" is redundant. Retro is always referring to the style. Looking back and taking styles from the past is what retro means. Like modern bell-bottom jeans, or cars like the 11th generation Thunderbird which looks more like the original that any previous models.
The Wikipedia article uses the word to describe it.
This was the last year [4th generation] for the convertible until the "retro" models of 2002–05.
Gamers are the ones with the damaged vocabulary. Everyone else know the difference between vintage and retro. ;)
Vintage emoji right there. Or wait... is it retro because the font is modern?
Retro means modern games that remind you of old games. Like Shovel Knight or UFO 50. There's not really a time limit to that. Shovel Knight is quite old now, but the graphical style it copied is even older, so it's still retro.
Obviously, I'm sort of joking, but y'all do use the word "retro" wrong. You're talking about vintage games, not retro games, and yes, I will die on this hill. Gamers are the only people who don't know the difference between retro and vintage. Everyone else gets it right: car people, clothing people, furniture people, sneaker people, jewelry people, etc.
10+. I don't remember exactly. So, yes, much of the damage came from that.
Who needs a +6 Hourglass or some wand? I need 10 darts!
Behold the glory!
I thought I was imagining it, so I took a screenshot. Is this by design? They didn't always seem to be crooked.
Someone's about to get really hurt.
Just for fun, I tried dumping it on a charging Evil Eye. The stored damage had decayed to around 200, and it did 63 damage to the eye. Not bad, but not enough to kill it.
Killing a slug with the Runic Slash stored a lot of extra damage!
I successfully ascended after dumping every upgrade into the rogue's throwing knives
(thelemmy.club)
0-challenge. I played as a Freerunner, of course, since I was dumping into a thrown weapon.
I didn't use any upgrades until after I had the Troll made the knives +2. I got lucky and found a +2 Sword at one point, and +1 Scale Armor. Those helped a lot.
I used one upgrade as a Scroll of Enchantment and got Corrupting which was great. I was corrupting enemies left and right. I ended up having to craft like 6 Magical Infusions. That's a lot of energy, but I did have the Alchemist's Toolkit which gave some for free.
My trinket was a +3 13-Leaf Clover, which was both fun and maddening. Hitting for minimum damage (often zero early in the game) for 5 turns in a row will have you cursing RNGesus! It was kinda nice when I found an early Sickle. It was only +0, but it topped out at 20 damage. I abused sneak attacks to make sure I didn't miss, and it hit hard when the clover rolled right.
I burned through all 4 Ankhs. Mostly because I'm so stubborn about using health potions sometimes. Also because I was running around with +0 leather armor. I forgot to save my cloth armor and sold it. I was momentarily tempted to take the cloth armor out of the new vault quest, but a +3 Crossbow was a much better choice.
[Fixed] Vault Quest: Tapping on the Strange Door from a distance causes a "You don't have a matching key" error when you arrive.
(thelemmy.club)
I got all 10 tokens then tapped on the door to walk to it, and I got the error. If you walk a step away and do it again, it'll happen again. Seems to me like this shouldn't happen. It should either open the interface for the "Strange Door" or not do anything at all.
The patch notes say this was added on purpose, but then say it was removed as a bug in beta-2. Did you forget you added it on purpose, or am I missing something? Is there a differnce between "from" and "in" the fog of war?
[Fixed] The new Dwarven Vault crashed when I tried to imbue my staff. Had to start all over.
(thelemmy.club)
I tried to imbue it with a Wand of Disintegration and the game immediately crashed. I was still in the mirror room at the time.
I'm playing Battlemage, and have the talent that returns the previous staff wand once per player level, not that the staff currently appeared to have an imbued wand, not even Magic Missile.
Update:
This time I quit my game before trying again so it would save. The crash happened again, so it's repeatable. I was not in the mirror room this time, and trying to imbue other wands crashes, too.
I definitely have it saved. See screenshot. But it never auto-fills. What's the deal?
