Kramer opening a ghost kitchen in a Hilton is one of the most authentic Seinfeld things I've heard. It would start from Jerry complaining about hotel food prices, and when Kramer is rejected to start his restaurant legally, he would just rent a room and run the restaurant from inside it. Hijinx occur as the restaurant inexplicably becomes the hottest dining spot in the area, which of course draws Elaine in to the mix. You know George would want in on the scam side of things, and Jerry would tag along because he wants to be there as a witness when it goes sour.

[@ebonyaxe]

"It's a golden opportunity Jerry!"

[@owenedwards8514]

This is superlative perfect.

[@journeysa]

George would be trying to use one of the hotel’s conference rooms for some Yankees event without telling the hotel. Bob Sacamano is working for DoorDash and gets the ghost kitchen put in the app. Elainnee…Elaine is dating someone who works in the hotel! Kramer’s plan is foiled, George gets found out, and Elaine’s bf finds out she’s friends with these people and dumps her. End Credits.

[@PieMan061]

I hope they update with more interactions/weapons. But yeah, for $3 I've more than gotten my money's worth! It is a dopamine paradise, just wish there was more variety than "get 2 or more evolved weapons to win"

[@GeassX]

From the interview with the dev on reddit. -------------------- "Are there plans to have all weapons upgradable?" There are 9 evolution left on the design doc "Are there plans to implement an endless mode?" Not now, but will definitely try an implementation of such mode later down the line "Will there be new characters and maps" Yes, there will be 5 maps in total. There are 8 characters left on the design doc. "Does Luck effect the chance of legendary chests spawning over the regular ones" Yes, remember to have a look at the FAQS for all major Luck effects "Do the maps have edges or could we walk forever without finding an edge?" You could walk for 30 minutes, but there isn't an edge anyway ------------------------ One thing to note, there is currently 17 base weapons in the game, and 7 of them have evolutions. Now, either some weapon isn't going to get an upgrade (bone/pentagram) or two weapons will evolve together (probably the pigeons).

Delivery driver here. Two ghost kitchen implementations: 1. A restaurant expands its offerings by opening one or more ghost kitchens that operate under the same roof, often treating the dine-in experience with a single menu with all the kitchen's offerings 2. A ghost kitchen is founded providing delivery only for many restaurants under one roof on many delivery platforms.

Started off rough with my first try at Hyper, in the Inlaid Library, but then it hit the point where it was too good.

Get more damage. NL was making a mistake avoiding new weapons. Chose your secondary skills mostly based off what levels up your weapons. And pay attention to the post game dps stats. You’ll start noticing weapons you overvalue

The Guitar Hero hyper speed analogy is 100% true though. That’s exactly what happens. You play on Hyperspeed and then you try to play without Hyperspeed and the notes just look like they’re stuck together. Guitar Hero 3 Hyperspeed 4 all the way.

[@DmmyV]

26:16 He has no idea how wrong he is. Edit: whip is amazing, candelabrador is also great because it affects every weapon in the game for better screen clearing, axe is okay. I think its better to secure other items you want rather then upgrade something to max as fast as possible, having a full arsenal really helps compared to upgrading a singular item a ton. I so far havent lost in hyper yet by doing these things, plus i think he needs to work on his awareness of things and when to do something like go for items, lots of strange mistakes were made.

[@InvictumDT]

Agreed. I realised the worst thing was being forced to take an augment you don't want so now I go for filling slots early & quite like just taking augments for weapons that are evolvable if theres no better option.

[@bobson_dugnutt]

He also tends to start just running away from a horde at some point and keep running in a single direction and leaving all the XP on the ground. You need to keep killing stuff and getting XP to scale, like the massive horde of weak skeletons before the werewolves, they give massive XP, if you keep running away from them you will probably just die to werewolves.

[@dj66800]

Has NL figured out the whip tech yet? You can wiggle waggle with the right timing and make every projectile fire to one side, since it's based off where your 'back' is when it goes to fire.

[@nathking4427]

At one point (very quicly) there s no real use for it, being able to hit both in front and back is what make it so good

[@Perplaxus]

I pretty much beat the whole game rn, waiting for updates. Need em

[@chandl34]

I like whip with many +projectiles. Turns you into a helicopter. Whip is also a strong first weapon to max out, because the life drain helps you survive that werewolf+ghost wave. I've been beating hyper the easiest with weapons that focus on keeping you alive and keeping stuff away from you: stuff like whip, magic wand, axes. Cross for the paths it makes and Clover early-game value. Fireballs for the Spinach value. Peachone and Ebony Wings are suicide options most of the time. They take too long to get good, and they're still weak late-game. Garlic is more-or-less a noob trap.

[@TheTreydogg27]

Dude garlic is so good! Especially if you play Poe. Max it first and the knock back makes it hard to lose. Even on hyper.

[@sonan333]

It's been a week so people may already know, but here's some info from the devs via steam: What Luck is for - enables the chance to get a 4th option when leveling up - lowers the chance of negative events (bat swarms, flower walls...) - improves the chance of getting good items when destroying braziers - improves the chance of getting a Treasure Chest that is different than usual - raises chances of dealing critical damage (for weapon with critical capabilities) - "Luck affects many things"

[@PadaV4]

But bat swarms are free xp, how is that a bad event > improves the chance of getting a Treasure Chest that is different than usual That must be broken. Max luck and it doesn't feel like the 3 or 5 piece chests drop more often.

[@sonan333]

@@PadaV4 Bat swarms can be bad, depending on what your level is/what you get, and that's because they can push groups of enemies into you. But for the most part, yeah bat swarms are awesome. As for the better treasure chest spawns, I'm guessing that it is just a low chance per percent of luck, which is pretty misleading.

As someone who owns a ghost kitchen (we tend to call it a dark kitchen) and makes desserts, can confirm you can’t set up a ghost kitchen without the hotels knowledge cause you’d have to set an address for pick up & you can indeed fill half a waffle iron to make half a waffle Edit: to get onto Uber eats/Deliveroo/just eat, you do need a health hygiene certificate, initially it’s set to awaiting inspection and then when it’s done they update it

[@danielgch2]

My understanding of a ghost Kitchen is a normal restaurant kitchen which has spare capacity so as well as producing food for the restaurant it also provides food for the other business who pays to use the ghost kitchen services. In theory a ghost kitchen could be used by multiple businesses at the same time.

[@The_Void_Constellation]

I played a mobile game like Vampire Survivors two months ago called "Magic Survival." Just with a simplier art style, more spells, and unlimited spells slots. It's basically a reskin but in mobile but it's free

I can tell you they only fill half the waffle maker, but 18 for half a waffle is a joke lol

[@chaosmastermind]

Especiallly since it probably cost a grand total of $.03 to make.

[@blahthebiste7924]

2 reasons Garlic is god-tier, and part of all my wins: 1. How fast you level up is directly proportional to how fast you are killing. Garlic stomping the early game is like a huge XP booster. It's easy to stay ahead of the curve and not die early with Garlic, not so easy with other weapons. 2. Garlic lowers knockback resistance, so all your DPS can actually clear space around you rather than just getting crowded out by the tanky waves.

[@jyoutube989]

For the algorithm. The devs owe you a shout out cuz I bought this game after seeing your coverage of it. Thanks

Ghost kitchens can operate out of any kitchen facility. Theres one in my area called the meltdown and its operated out of a Shari's. I think theres also a burger ghost out of the same place too. Basically its a menu that any kitchen can field out through uber or doordash, etc

[@eamonntee]

1:50 this is a little MC trick to warm up a crowd. If you make them applaud more and put more effort in, they're way more likely to do so for other acts. The other version is when a performer will say 'we were at (insert other city) the other night and they were SO LOUD, I don't know how you guys could top that'.

[@MrHeorhe]

Once it gets to the point of elites, like the red winged bats, green zombies, or werewolves, you need to herd them into a group. If you move them off screen they despawn and the game will spawn more in front of you to keep the enemy numbers at maximum. Then as it increases the limit of enemies on screen you will be quickly overwhelmed as they spawn all around you. But with a massive group chasing you that you keep just barely on screen, it will cut down enemy spawns enough to shmoove through them
