For the record. On .77 and since 12:31 today I have managed to shoot up 5.5Sx/Sec in PI Credits popping now at about 22 second each. Between work tomorrow and a surgery on Friday I don't suspect I will have more time to look at the game until Saturday or Sunday depending on how I feel. So...

I believe back in the ancient times we call this... Stagflation! I don't normally completely love these guys, but this was a decent thread of analysis.

In my case, and trying to be careful as to not dox myself more than I have, my company has done to the order of 110% better than the S&P since the Covid crash in 2020, but like many companies more of that outperformance came in 2023 and 2024. 2020-2023, were still outperforming, but not by as...

Just went .75 to .77 and PI is definitely boosted a little.

I'm struggling right now as the single largest position I own, has essentially just barely beat the S&P so far this year. Pragmatic Haus Brain has been nagging at me to diversify out of it for a while, but Nostalgic Haus Brain remembers how before this year it's seriously outperformed in many...

Hurm.... Around a minute and a half per credit for me : at around 2.5Sx/sec My current diamond hoard... All cards purchased. General stats : I assume some of those numbers don't line up as I think you just started tracking some of them not too long ago.

Yeah, I have less use for any Earl tracking spreadsheets now ;)

Sounds like you're reaching a point where each "Content pack" is going to look something like : Some new skins. Some tied to achievements, some purchasable with diamonds. (Add reward) A new mob to increase the "high HP mob" challenge gate. (Add challenge) A new card to be the goal to make...

I think that's a solid approach. The only mathing would be around if there is a point even with that in which the diamonds would be more valuable than the Shiny. heh

That could work. Determine around what the diamond cache of a person hitting one of the harder "soft walls" is then place a diamond booster card around there. Maybe make a series of cards with escalating costs and each has the benefit of "diamonds do 10% more boost".

That is helping. Unsure what OOmph level needs application at this point, but that's also why this is early access. ;) In terms of bizzare things I'd love to see just to see.... The ability to toggle certain attacks on/off (Daggers, Zap, Fireballs, Skulls) to see what difference for instance...

I want to say things felt quicker, but not a ton quicker. I was focusing on getting to that first Sx/sec level at that point. Then I think it was .64 (or around there) hit which amped things up and I was suddenly closing in on 10Sx/sec , and .69 went into plaid drive and I was closing in on...

Yeah, there seem to be two "walls" you approach. Earl is stuck and not advancing in arenas. Ranks , 2x bumps, and upgrades cost so much you have to wait so long to afford them that you might forget about the game... You solve number one by arming him better with ranks in skills, but that...

This is going to sound crazy but... Have they checked your T level? (kinda assuming you're a guy here). I remember one thing when I was doing T pellets was that RBC count seems tied to T level in men, so they always monitored mine. Higher T often causes higher Red Blood cell production. Just...

I'm kinda worried about this as well. Not to mention now Trump trying to fire someone off the Fed board and the courts telling him, I think today, that he couldn't so she'll be on this fed board meeting with an axe to grind against Trump....

Volunteer to bring donuts.... Bring a veggie and dip tray... choose violence.

OK, did a rebirth/reload to test. Did rebirth first, within an hour had everything unlocked, and was back into Sp/Sec fast. Then realized I had just rebirthed at .69. Did a reload, so now at what seems to be pre .64 levels but with the first hour of .69 level progression : Observations ...

This will show to what level my inner autist has taken this.... I know if I do a rebirth in the morning I'll be right back to where I left off arena wise and passive wise (plus diamond bonuses) by around dinner the next day. heh In my head I already know that I will have work meetings taking...

I'm popping a credit around every 8 seconds, so yeah, that bolstered up a LOT with this update. But also this is , as you can see, at a moderately advanced passive income level. If I let it just run in background and rebirth tomorrow morning I estimate I'll harvest something stupid crazy...

Here's my current snapshot : Currently in that "rebalancing freefall" where I'm watching to see how low that Arena number goes before I get back to around a "win one, lose one" rate. Own all the perks... Even the skin. heh Last night I was just getting past 3.xxx Sx/sec in passive income...

Well. The native steampunk part of my brain would probably start off with just brass with blackened areas. That's easy. You pour the key, rub this blackening stuff on it, rinse it off. Then sand/polish the top to remove that blackened area and expose the brass. It's what I did on my daily...

And this morning... Thanks for that "Next 2x" button. Make a fresh rebirth much easier.

I don't see how they improve on the original cinematic swamp thing and Adrienne Barbeaux's incredible contributions.

They literally decided to never release this movie because it's greatest value to them was as a tax write off full loss.

And now you'll see how stupid my brain gets thinking about shit while I'm tidying up my workshop. In my head I imagine damage happens something like this : Attack calculates damage and well call that %damage Subtract %damage from %hp_bar_remaining if %hp_bar_remaining < 0 round is over and won...

Yeah, it's not breaking. If I had to guess I would say the logic is as I do damage it reduces the main HP bar, when that bar reaches 0 the round is over. But for some reason there are more mobs on the board than there are HP in the bar. So I magically finish a round with a few mobs still let...

.64 and the rework seems solid. Although one thing I swear I've seen (I believe in .62 and now .63), but it happens so fast that I haven't been able to screen shot it. I would swear that every now and again I'm reaching the "end phase" of a round, have around 5-8 high HP bad guys around me...

Not even sure or going to ask how the math under the hood changed up (and yes I read the patch notes). But I loved having around 3x the passive income when I refreshed from .62 to .63

Somewhere buried in my workshops stockpile of gear I have an OG Old school model M. It's still the favorite feel of any keyboard I have known. But my neighbors thinking I'm firing an automatic weapon when I start typing fast became a drawback. ;)

Back with another edition of "Haus has thoughts about the Arena" for @pwe .... How about a diamond purchasable card that adds "Time is Money". Here's what it does : When you successfully complete an arena, any remaining seconds on the clock are cashed out to you at your current passive...

Yeah, silicone doesn't hold up well at all to even the lowest temps of molten metal. If I were to try to make keycaps it would probably be along these lines : Print keycap on nice resin printer for best quality Sand print for additional smoothness use sandcasting to cast print in metal of...

That makes sense, it's just that elsewhere passive income was referenced as the $ amount, not the % boost off base. So I was , as usual, easily confused. heh

You don't sell Token based AI usage. You bundle it into an "artificial assistant" subscription service, make it flashy enough and optimize what actually has to be handled by the model to minimize cost, and crank up the subscription fee.

Is M% supposed to be the variable used for denomination?

The vast majority of what people currently use "AI" for is really over glorified English language parsing search. The real AI usage doesn't tend to be things that the everyday person would find in the least big "fancy" or "cool". Vibe coding with AI is still a category 5 shitshow in most...

on .61 , Earl looks to be leaving a slow walking shadow following him around, which also slowly walks back to the start point between rounds....

Oh, make no mistake, I don't mind the change at all. I just found it funny that poor Earl is gonna be walking backwards for a while. And it does make sense if you want there to be more uphill battle rather than it feeling like Diablo where you walk into a room and instantly kill dozens of bad...

OK. new oddity I have now seen twice in my cascade of out of times. (Down to Arena 21837 now) On a couple arenas I have gotten the initial witch doctor blast out of the way, had a couple mobs left. Then the faceless would just vanish, but the HP bar would still be over 80B or something. But...
