so we broke the game... | Ascension 20 Silent Run | Slay the Spire

[@Triad_Orion]

This run was a work of art, a maddening spree of a man flying too close to the sun, tempting the fates with his grand ambitions of Make Number Get Bigger. And then when said ambitions caught up, threatening to send him plummeting to earth with melted wings, the man just says "I do have Sneaky Strike," and somehow lands with the grace of a swan. God. Seriously an amazing run, that was a real treat to watch.

[@Other-AllOfTheAbove]

Props to the video editor. To the viewers surprise this is actually the non-cannon ending. To this day jorbs is still nightmaring nightmare, apparition and adrenaline happily every after.

22:30 using terror is 6 + 1.5[4(3) + 8(3)] = 60 instead of using strike for 6 + 9 + 4(3) + 8(4) = 59. Both are lethal, rip that chatter lol

At last, the heart has acquired immunity to the poison.

[@bertschumacher2097]

I had no idea that was possible! He just pumped so much poison through the heart it gained a new abbility.

The heart simply replaced all of it's 'blood' with poison. The spire now coursed poison through its entire veins. It was no longer the heart it once was, but just a shell reenacting its designated attack patterns and routines.

[@Goodlesmilan]

f guy in chat, probably died of embarassment

[@Zebo12345678]

Yeah I thought the same thing. Doesn't matter which one you use, they both deal enough damage, but guy in chat had the most optimal play.

[@lunafoxfire]

I mean a) it doesn't matter that it does more since they both have the same outcome, and b) jorbs has literally one rule -- no backseating -- and yet people find it impossible to follow. Personally, I agree that jorbs is a bit of an ass sometimes and overreacts but I think dealing with chat trying to backseat and being wrong 99.99% of the time every day for multiple years would drive anyone crazy.

[@Zebo12345678]

Agreed. I do wonder though, what is it that he actually wants from chat? He seems to take issue with them regardless of what they talk about. Obviously the backseating is unacceptable, but sometimes he gets annoyed at people for just discussing regular things. I think an accurate headline to describe his channel would be "Local streamer hates streaming, but likes it anyway"

[@CycleMantis]

@@Zebo12345678 Jorbs can play the game well enough on his own, admittedly making mistakes here and there, though backseating doesn't help that anyway... So oof to guy in chat, but I respect Jorbs for laying down the law even if he miscalculated by a couple hp

At 22:40, Jorbs said the suggested line was wrong. But terror, corpse explosion, blade dance, finisher was also lethal. Corpse explosion (6) + blade dance (6×3) + finisher (12×3) = 60. Jorbs calculated blade dance as 4×3, that's why he thought this line was not lethal.

[@FreeWillMind]

It's not about the comment and more about the general rule against backseating.

[@spilledbeansrecords5685]

@big chungus bad part was the guy in the chat breaking chat rules. u know?

[@Danz___]

@big chungus if both are lethal, how is one more optimal than the other? That's faulty logic.

[@Jorbs]

the comment was "you need terror for finisher", which is wrong. my line killed on turn one while taking zero damage and did not use terror. so, claiming terror is necessary for finisher is incorrect, and saying that while i'm trying to calculate something is also incredibly distracting and disorienting, and removes my ability to focus on making good decisions in the game and my agency in choosing which paths are most beneficial to explore. it also breaks the channel's rules. i don't know if there are other iterations of these words i can type which will make you understand them, let me know if there is something which could help.

[@shadowkeeper88]

He miscalculated the benefit of terror. Strike adds 9+8(from finisher) so 17 while terror adds 18 damage (4*3+8*3) *.5 = 18. I don't mind him getting the math wrong in his head. It is understandable, but being smuggly rude to that commenter who was actually right is frustrating.

[@srsgoblin]

Imagine you do this for a living, and you have 1500 people every day backseating every little thing you ever do. At some point the annoyance of the backseating takes over and you just assume (usually correctly!) that chat is wrong. I'm just trying to point out why that attitude happens. I think it's fairly understandable, especially when at this point he was like 25 days into the month challenge and the grind was probably wearing on him. When you're there on Twitch watching the runs live, it ends up making a lot more sense than when you just catch the KZbin runs. Edit: additionally, the commenter wrote "you need terror for finisher," rather than "terror gets you more damage there." He clearly didn't need terror for finisher as he had won the fight before the comment even showed up. So the commenter wasn't necessarily wrong if you extrapolate he was trying to say "terror gets more damage" but that isn't what he actually said. He was wrong in that he posited Jorbs NEEDED terror for finisher. Jorbs did all the math he needed to, because he realized he had lethal. There was no need to work out the damage terror did.

[@CycleMantis]

I'm sure the backseating is 10× more frustrating, so getting defensive is respectable here. Besides it was undeniably entertaining and based

[@srsgoblin]

@@saitejavangari7678 it's not foolish. He's always a pretty sarcastic dude, and gets even more snippy toward the end kf these challenges.

It might be in your best interest to not waste time on someone who's attitude annoys you. Baalorlord might be up your alley.

[@srsgoblin]

@@saitejavangari7678 there's a nice way to backseat, too, which is by not doing it at all. Let's say you have a job. You're good at your job. In fact, you are more successful at your job than the vast majority of people you interact with on a daily basis. When people come to your job, they see a big sign that says "Don't tell me how to do my job." The first thing anyone ever does is tells you how to do your job. He doesn't owe it to people to be nice about telling people to shut up. You don't go to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant and tell him how to cook a chicken, do you? And if you did, would you expect him to not call you a donkey?
