In your character menu, you can change your portrait. That's what the avatars are. Great game man.

Only problem is that the audio and screenplay are messed up

[@twhite350]

lol you don't have to scrap.. you can choose not to!

[@gschneyer]

What do you use to record?

[@makemeabetterplayer62]

the screen recording software is called Camtasia and for the sound a zoom H3n. afterwards i mix the video and audio together in cyberlink powerdirector.

Don't you always wanna recycle so you can cycle through your deck faster?

[@glennestrada3736]

Hope Honey sometimes you don't want that. there was a scenario here where he wanted the trade to get the escort. if he cycled, he would have been short the trade needed.

[@aaronsamuel501]

Sometimes by recycling you make your deck cycle slower (although in the videos case i think you're right Hope he should have recycled as the trade would have been regained through what he would've drawn). Say if I discarded scout and viper to draw into 2 scouts, even though I would break even on the trade i lost for activating the recycle effect, all those cards i discarded for the effect will be in the next deck cycle and would thereby take up space in the long run. If you have only 4 or less cards left in your deck it's usually better to not recycle, unless the cards you'll draw into are really useful. This is because the cards at the bottom of the deck won't be in the next deck cycle as the deck will have been shuffled so instead of appearing twice in 2 deck cycles they'll only appear once (aka bottom decking). The ideal use for recycling station is so you have scouts and vipers being 'bottom decked' as much as possible so you can keep your deck cycle as slim as possible which means your combo cards appear together more often.

@@aaronsamuel501 Thanks for the insight. Which other channels do you recommend for Star Realms improvement?
