Absolute crazy how he had no scalling, decided to bet on a Jax ( you dont really see people picking jax because theyre afraid of losing Hp ) and got immediately rewarded with a limited break that allowed him to win the run Well played Nl, well played

[@HaruIRAI]

Okey, gotta be honest. This playthrough made me download (and accidentally get addicted to StS), and I am surprised. Before playing it I was under the impression that NL plays suboptimally, possibly because of all the Type A chatters. But now, I get somewhat a very different appreciation for how the Egg is handling the game. This stuff is hard and he manages to find and fit very interesting build most of the time

[@knmrt2760]

On top of bantering to entertain us viewers, it's not an easy task

[@jamesweaver4796]

This was me two weeks ago but then I beat A20 as the ironclad and I’m back to thinking he sucks EDIT: he is the GOAT game narrator though

[@phillystevesteak6982]

NL is a decent player. Anyone that can best a20 is a solid sts player. The view is very different from a spectators lense

[@andrewdant2780]

A lot of people are genuinely much better than him at the game, but the vast majority of them got there by watching hours of really really good players and learning from them. Egg is self taught and I love that for him.

[@gaysfortrump2024]

He's not terrible strategy-wise but he makes lots of objective misplays in fights that he wouldn't if he stopped to think for 2 seconds. Like at one point he plays full mana whirlwind for the same damage he could have played bite and whirlwind for. Few minutes later he's fighting the transient says his plan is to heal up as much as possible and last turn he overkills it with whirlwind when he could have played the two bites in hand. Those little things add up and can kill a run esprcially on higher ascensions.

I watched the entire Dinosaurs TV show again about 12 years ago and it really held up against the tides of time. It was a good sitcom. I would probably watch it all again and I'm not really a watch show kind of person. Man, I can't wait for The Silent runs. Def my favorite, if it wasn't obvious.

I think with this particular Neow Bonus you can afford to take the Bomb: it ends the Sentries fight after 1 1/2 deck rotations at latest, hits Lagavulin for 40 pretty much for free and is even good against Gremlin Nob if drawn on turn one (albeit terrible on any later turn). Nob is the one elite fight where a good act 1 deck would be better off not having it I'd say, it beats Magnetism and Sadistic Nature quite handily.
