0:00 i did, i didn't. i haven't. i should. although there were like nine people on the morning ride this morning alongside of me. so 10 people in total, which is pretty good for just a random tuesday in july, man. we're getting the band back together. no. 150 gold. dead ass. 150 gold right there. let's do it, man. pop me right there. i almost, just to keep you posted, two days ago, no, maybe three days ago now. not that, i mean, that's too relevant.
0:42 i finally beat a20 again in my a20 cycle on my phone. now i'm on the defect and i beat, i did the classic a20 victory that's actually a loss. i beat the first boss and then died to the second boss. so let's call it an a19 victory. when are you beating a24? i can't. they keep hiring like wunderkind directors. it's not possible. i wish i could. give me supermassive. let's go card creation.
1:23 honestly, go big, go home. 9 hp, a strike becomes a devastate. and also, you didn't know that, because i should be here. i just found out that the back rooms is directed by kane hodder. i was like, that's amazing. isn't he like leatherface? isn't he the dude from the texas chainsaw massacre? i guess i could have played other cards, my bad. shut up and play the game? whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't like my mistaken identity jokes anymore?
2:10 you love the joke about how drake won the beef and then whenever people go, oh is he being serious? i go, yeah bro. i mean as soon as brighter later dropped kendrick didn't have a chance. i mean five leaves left maybe you're like he doesn't have another one of these in him. but then this is before we even talk about pink moon man, which of course is probably considered his most seminal album. card that creates more cards please, you tried.
2:53 i'm gonna beat your shit off with socks and batteries? for what? because i thought nick drake won the beef. okay, kendrick, what did he say? they not like us. and nick drake, what did he say? um, could have been a sailor, could have been a cook, a real life lover, could have read a book. i mean, i know who i'm putting my weight behind. in a matter of speaking, give me a zoller strike.
3:32 kendrick clear she's way prettier. okay, see now you've added another you've added another wrinkle in this whole discussion and i don't know how to yes end it, but i think it's really good. i really appreciate that am i losing my mind? yeah, there's multiple people named drake nephew. there's like drake nick drake, there's like a bunch of dragons that apparently you don't give a fuck about and
4:11 how much blowback all the the dragon and wyvern community has gotten because of this mistaken ass identity. and you just like couldn't be bothered? you just don't give a fuck i suppose. i'm kind of getting my ass beat here. he circumnavigated the world too? did he? maybe, i don't know. i always did multiple people do that? i thought it might be magellan. magellan definitely did it. he did? good for him man.
4:49 so it's crazy as time to do that in between being a rap star, a folk singer and also has been deceased for i'm gonna say 50 years and a dragon of course and a dragon. give me some orange dough man. probably how money is gonna look like in america in a couple years. and of course the nunchaku's and of course we were just going to question marks nonstop and then i'm gonna lay it all on the line right.
5:30 fucking now. right fucking now, bro. because i've already created... yes, exactly. i've already created some cards. we put this shit on your ass. whenever you play an attack at a random card to your hand. i think i gotta put this shit on your ass too. do i give a fuck about calamity? i mean for three energy? i can already play three attacks. i gotta pass on that one. i should have played defend first. oh, it is great for card creation. you're right.
6:08 and i'm a fool. let's not do that one. that's too crazy. we got a wandering star. let me get a solar strike. a strike. super mashup black hole. we kill you next turn. should have played one of these cards first. and that's not even good.
6:43 i was trying to think of a great lyric to pull off of pink moon, but a lot of pink moon is more about the tone to be honest with you. you know, something like that goes kind of hard. brighter later is better. it's prettier, maybe a little too pretty. know what i'm saying? a complete unknown heads. and now we strike and we are everywhere. no? is that joke? so that's a joke for nobody.
7:25 that would in the complete unknown he says, hey, let's give it over to joan baez. she sure sings pretty, maybe a little too pretty. i haven't seen the movie. what, you're not 100? you're not 100 years old? i mean, he literally won the oscar for it, but i guess i'm an asshole or something like that. no, he didn't. he should have. who won that year? who won best actor of the year? adrien brody? wow, for king kong? oh, politics, man.
8:10 i've been playing like absolute shit. it's crazy i'm alive, but we do not deserve to be alive. so just all absolutely horrible performance up to this point. and yet here we are 14 damage, 14 damage or two stars. you'll get better later. you'll get brighter later. give me this 14 damage. that's as good as you're ever going to be one of those. one of these things first huge place. i would like to put a card into my hands. i would like to put a be gone into my hand.
9:01 and then begone transforms one of these into a minion strike. it makes our supermassive do even more damage. let's get a solar strike out there so i can hit you with a debuff on a subsequent turn. you're taking a turn off. horrible news for you, i think. and now you take one more turn off. what do i want in my hand? obviously i want a fucking supermassive in my hand, bro.
9:42 and then i play my highest damage attacks, and then next turn i just need to draw one attack and you're fucking dead. eat shit, okay. that's a dub, that's a dub. to make it to act two, that's a dub. bob dylan fan who hasn't even seen cate blanchett play bob dylan in the german arthouse movie? is it a german movie or is she just doing the part of bob dylan's life where he's in germany? they feel that's an american movie, but he just spends some time in germany.
10:26 they got arsenal, when are they adding west ham united? that's damn true. is frank lampert in chat? i know he's not gonna like that joke. when are they gonna add fucking what, mate? he's got a beef with west ham united is what i heard. i heard frank lampert, he doesn't like west ham united. it must be arsenal, of course. do you finish the pit? bro, that's the only part of the pizza you don't eat. no, i didn't fucking finish it. i threw it in the compost. pay attention! too relaxed or goopy defends or pales eye.
11:15 i don't mind a goopy defend, we need some defense. relax? just not exciting. pales eye, almost certainly i'll forget that i have it. so let's be smart. that's true, we get to say i like my defense goopy, bro. why don't you give me a go for the eyes so that you're nothing and then i'm gonna transform this junk, this fucking junk, so that you become even better. although you being better doesn't do anything for us, i now realize.
11:59 in that case we should have attacked you from the start. well, i'm gonna trip up the goopy on this one. not the card you want to see. i think it's fair to say. our defense, yeah i was just gonna say they exhaust now. so they all become like genetic algorithm. okay, okay, fair enough. weaken you a little bit. evoke your orbs, rocket punch. rocket punch draws two. that's big for a beast like me. crazy turn.
12:55 what's the chatter equivalent of yelling fire in a crowded theater? i mean, without a doubt, 100% is saying, german's live. because even i go check. when someone says, german's live, even i have to go, but i don't have a discord notification yet. how could this be? enchant three cards with a dois. but i can't enchant my defense with a dois. words i've learned thanks to the larry sanders show. is it the first time it's played or every time it's played? three cards, let me think. thorns, forge,
13:37 i actually like this. i would pop a little bit of this on a manifest authority, a finesse. fuck it bro. and an arsenal. and a fucking... knawing them forests, mate. what about gnawing them forests, mate? arsenals of power? yeah, obviously they won the premier league this year. bet you didn't expect me to know that. go ahead, take one of those. yeah. yeah. let me know how you feel about that. who's your favorite player to watch in the world cup?
14:26 so i'm allergic to taking things seriously, but i do feel like both mbappe and jude bellingham, every time they got the ball, you felt like there was a chance they were going to make something happen. i didn't see every game of the world cup, but of the dozen games that i watched, those are the ones that stood out. is this slay the spire 1 or slay the spire 2? i'm being serious? daniel, daniel, i'm playing as the remnant.
14:57 leonardo dicaprio, tom hardy, alexander iñárritu. i'm fighting a bug that's flying. he's taking a card of mine called devastate. these were things that were not in slay the spire 1. i hope it was a... you wrote honest questions, so i'm taking it as if it's an honest question. but if it's not an honest question and i just got baited, i don't know what to say. i don't know what to say about that. fuck it, bro. be gone, be gone. i agree with you, by the way. i think he can take devastate. devastate... losing devastate also saves us from...
15:36 the indignity of having to worry so much about the number of stars that we're creating. i think this is free. i still kind of want to just hit him just because it's fun to play cards, but i think it's free, man. it's free. brother, the bait goes both ways? i just wanted him to know that i could kill him. not daniel, but like the supermassive could kill the thieving hopper here. the bait goes both ways? that sounds like something like a self help book for fish. you should kill him and get the rewards? oh yeah.
16:14 and then just not take the card. one step ahead of you, brother. don't remove my defense, they're goopy. i like my defense goopy, bro. should have played your goopies too? source? you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. if this was on youtube, you would have removed the defense. possibly true. here's what i'll say. i want to walk back what i said earlier that was so rude.
16:57 when slay the spire 2 first came out, i said, every time i play it on twitch, i lose and every time i play it on youtube, i win. that means you guys must be horrible at slay the spire. that has changed. you will probably now notice i have a better win rate on youtube or on twitch, i should say, than on youtube. and that's because you are much better than me at the game now. and also i get a little distracted. so every once in a while,
17:27 it's nice to go off on a tangent and then someone in chat goes, hey don't forget about this thing that you said you wanted to do and i go, oh that's right. oh, that thing that i said our run will lose unless i do this. i should do it now because i'm at the place where i said we need to do it. i get it now. but this deck actually kind of, it kind of pops man. you know what? we have a lucky tonic. let's roll the damn dice.
18:16 don't forget to cancel your subscriptions. i literally... you've saved me. because as soon as the stream ends, i'm going to cancel my crave subscription that i got to watch the canadian soccer game. you've saved me. that's like 22 bucks in my fucking pocket, bro. that's huge. wchat. oh yeah, i need to cancel peacock? dan, don't listen. you would really say that? you'd say that with my friend here?
18:52 my number one nbc defender, dan gheesling, in chat, you would say, oh, right, i have to go cancel peacock? couldn't wait a little bit with your silly little comment? oh, man, that's crazy. do i have zero cost? i do. bro, no, you fucked up. you fucked up now. you were supposed to give me finesse. goop me up. this does 11. okay, so that temporarily saves us a little bit. you gotta remember, like, all your defends are gonna disappear, bro.
19:55 so you have to use them strategically. i think we're just dead. unless you're doing 17 damage, that's not enough, man. i mean, it's enough to... maybe it is enough, because i can fucking hit you with one of those. and i get hit... i don't know, because i'm not going to have any damn defense left, man! well, thankfully we don't need that, which is nice. to really just... oh, i can fucking get you mighty close.
20:50 this is the sort of timbre we want the fight to take now. that was w speed, as soon as yu mentioned it. two super masses, one does 24, the other one does 20. i'm gonna let myself take seven until you next turn. we're literally gonna make it, bro. do it, we need the blocks. gwyneth paltrow almost got you. cuz of the goop. this would have been really nice actually. use defense, bro. exhaust, exhaust, exhaust, exhaust. get this trash out of here.
21:52 astro pulse is really nice. we have no aoe. limited ability, great stars though. who's our boss? the insatiable. we can create our own vuln. i mean, you need to buy something. it's that simple. then we have to rest. we got a regal pillow, that's right! shrimple ass, exactly. type of shit we'd be saying at the wolverhampton wolves games. you know what, bro?
22:36 i mean, we gotta take some big swings or we're gonna lose anyway. might as well swing big. this seems like a beautiful lucky tonic turn. it's free, right? whatever we take is free. give me the scythe. most damage ended exhaust because i don't want to see that garbage anymore. 15 damage or... i think i've begone to get better strength. and we do some damage. 19 damage each. it's not so bad. in fact, it's actually... that was pretty darn good, man.
23:36 well, we're gonna goop you up. that's a given. it would be so swag to kill you this turn. and it's literally gonna happen. but first let's make it hurt. that's what it's all about. and we got a potion and we got the lantern key. and when you create a card get three block. and i didn't put any aoe in my deck, but that's okay. you know what? pop the dex potion right the fuck now, man. probably should have played this first to be fair, but go in on this fella. he's doing some damage.
24:26 you know what? i'm going crazy. you see that they're nerfing that card to make it only block once per turn. pillar of creation? pillar of creation is too good, so they're nerfing it? i thought it sucked! do the devs know anything? it sounds like they're highly mistaken. it's one of the region's best cards. yeah, if you look at the data. or as i call it, the datum. you're cooked, lad.
25:20 regent can't have shit? hey, anybody that's in like the slay the spire discord, any plans to get the fuck ass aeon glass like out of the game or maybe make him possible to kill? i get that like every boss gets to counter like an archetype in the game, which is good. because you don't want just like, oh, i'll steamroll everything. but like when your archetype is playing cards at all,
25:45 it makes it pretty difficult, man. because yeah, yeah, i guess i'm an asshole because i built a deck of cards where my cards are what generates the block in the attack. that's just the time slug? the time slug is... take it from an a20 hit. the awakened one is the real nightmare on a20.
26:08 at least when you're playing as the defect and every run turns into a fucking power deck. and then you beat the timekeeper easily and then you're like, oh here's this motherfucker on turn six. my choices are use my one strike and two defends to do 700 damage before he kills me. or alternatively, play the powers which are the engine of my deck and die on turn two. i wish i had a soft desk. i'll pass on this.
26:49 you need buffers? oh yeah okay i have some buffers in my deck when he does a three times 18 damage every second turn man use your freaking head. i'm sorry to say as i will play jackpot at some point it's great to have it but we need to play arsenal first they always try to walk it in is what i hear and then you can go on top of my fucking draw pile which is fine we need we need to play calamity too to be honest with you we need to play it all
27:29 whenever you play a card this turn, gain one strength. this turn. play a skill. return it to my hand. hit you two times. okay. never need to see a venerate again. 31 damage. we can do better. we can do a lot better. is it worth using? i don't think it's worth using the stars, man. i think you send that out there instead, see what you draw. this is actually kind of a beautiful turn for a beast like me. two frantics when we don't really have anything else to play. fuck it, bro. let it ride.
28:35 colorless card to add to your hand. you know, 185, give me some block. i can't afford it. can't afford that for something i thought it would be free. remember you play a card game, okay? yeah, gain some strength, some strength, some strength my lord. this is not a skill, it's a status. who are those? 57 damage out of that, five seven in chat please. and then you know what? play the more expensive one. i can't let me get close. and then we die.
29:13 no, we don't both die because... well, because i live, as simple as. by a lot. and then you don't attack and i get to play a supermassive and you die. huge. hard not to play a void form, man. with the kind of burst damage we got. hard not to take it. powers cost more. that's tough. it's not that tough considering we gain energy now that i think about it. a free attack...
30:10 or three attacks get insta ohhhhh. it's really tough for me because tribe boomerang, i mean double damage supermassives, they're gonna you know what no no it has to be crossbow because crossbow gives us a small impulse earlier in a fight that changes our trajectory is better than banking on getting like one insane if everything goes right then i'll be able to play a supermassive for 400 at the end. there's not going to be an end if you if you do that man you're going to die on like the third turn.
30:58 yes, yes, skill to put in my hand. yes, yes, please. we're gonna need to play pillar. you know what? just give me some shit that sucks so that i don't draw it next turn. galaxy brain, good. and then we drew lantern key. we drew lantern key so we don't draw it next turn, huge. you get everything, pay attention, beautiful. first two cards, first two cards are free this turn. fine, fine. and then a crazy forge, 34 damage, okay.
32:08 you don't need void this fight. you know what i don't need? your stupid comments. this fight or ever. how do you feel about that? i don't need your pithy little own, okay? so why don't you keep your stupid comments in your pocket? give me orbit. yes, bread pirate roberts 88. good job. good job, glen coco. some of you were typing. you were typing the right thing, but just a little bit too slow. it's not your fault, sean. it's not your fault.
32:48 it's unnecessary. get that out there. goopy ass defend bro. i'm just gonna level with you. i don't think an attack potion is like crazy valuable for us, but it is if it gives us this. i mostly just wanted to make space for the potion. the last played attacker skill is added to your hand or two relics. i mean it has to be the last played attacker skill gets added to your hand.
33:25 oh, it gets played. you don't... oh, so it gets played for free. play a copy of your last played attacker. that's crazy. this has changed in beta too? okay, so that means that this is overpowered. so obviously we'll be grabbing that. it's that simple. yeah, go ahead. go ahead and make more changes in the beta so i can keep ponging up. you're giving me the keys to the kingdom, bro. do we have an upcoming shop? i'm going to say it's unlikely we even go that way.
34:01 take 100 gold, give me the jiu jitsu bracelet. we can do it. you always take the middle option. it's like ordering a bottle of wine. don't want to look cheap, but you also don't want to pay 300 hp. and that's just not something you want to do. okay, there's one turn down. that's mighty nice. should we play that? no, we should play that now because it's free. what should we play last? last we should play manifest authority. it's free anyway? it's always going to be free?
34:50 oh, cuz this one came from crossbow. okay, yeah, you're right. you're right. german. yeah, okay. start with this orbit. we want to play that way if we just play this last we went i should have played. excuse me. i should have played more attacks to get closer to nunchuck though, but not a not a big deal. i think i am my goopy ass defense. you're not wrong pillar of creation red mask. i'm gonna get a supermassive. okay, we might stand a chance maybe.
35:59 against you. i'm feeling fairly likely that we will want to have played a void form. the void form, no matter what, is gonna be the last thing we've played. unless we don't play void form. you gotta play void form. it has to be played. it begs to be played. that's such a good draw. holy... well, i guess you're already weak, but weak for one more turn makes me feel a little bit more confident about it. you have no idea what hit you, obviously. um...
36:45 first two cards are free. kingly punch doesn't get cheaper. oh, history course doesn't care about powers. that's right. so let's finish in that case with supermassive. ah shit. you know what? maybe they'll let me get a second goopy. all right, i'll live with that. might even be better, bro. don't really want to play bolas for free. i want to play you last though. 2x goopy. yup, we cloned defend. we brought him back.
37:38 am i crazy to think because this is free, won't this give us, it'll keep our stars? cost us nothing and keep our stars? it's not free, it's x. only the energy is free maybe. i don't know. what a strange world we find ourselves in. i'll bolus you. although i don't really want it back in my hand now that i think about it. i mean, i'm kind of, i'm not going to lie to you. with 19 damage on the line here,
38:14 kind of obsessed with the idea of the double goop to be honest. i didn't play the other one because it might whip back around and we need to defend but 28 damage. i think it's okay. i think it's okay, man. play your goopy defend last and then you basically get to play an exhausted card twice. okay, not too bad. entropic brew. i don't think we need a second bagon.
39:02 and it stacks twice? well true, not so relevant on the boss fight i suppose. i get a little relevant on the boss fight because there's two bosses. it's aeon glass anyway, motherfucker! motherfucker dude! yeah sure, i mean we only have a few fights left. i've never taken royal poison i think. probably not on the one that ends your turn when you play it. i'm going pussy mode. oh you're right, begone is gonna go kind of insane for us.
39:52 because it can get rid of the wither or whatever it puts in our hand. forget the exact name of it. i want to kind of rush you down. give me that last. if this kills an enemy, gain stars. not that impressed. you really think i won't fucking transform my best card into a minion strike? i don't even want to say the word minion strike bro, because if hollywood got that idea we might never get another movie again. i don't want to put that evil on us.
40:47 or put that's true, put that evil on gru either. i don't want to put that on gru. he's been through a lot. so these are all awesome. sure, man. i guess pale blue dot. energy potion will go crazy this time. the order was fucked. did they take some artifact off of this guy? probably not. people would have said something like, on the beta patch it's different. wither. that old chestnut, huh? okay. this has to be played, of course.
41:47 might as well play this. have to play that. give me another pillar of creation. 21 damage. i sleep on that. and the beauty of this, we get another manifest authority on the next turn. why not, man? i don't really want to waste a goopy defend just to get two goopies on it. doesn't seem like the right move. i think a venerate just straight into a supermassive pass turn. play it with history course. i need defends in my deck to defend the damage that they do, bro. it's not all about getting goopy high!
42:34 you obviously really wanna play void form, but you know what? there's a part of me that thinks we don't have to play void form. on this one, i think we could just let it go. i think we already got the tempo we need. i mean, sounds crazy. sounds insane. we can get energy back to be fair, but fuck it. i'm planting my stake in the ground. we don't need it on this one. then you give me energy back. and this time, this time we definitely do want a goopy.
43:28 so that we start with the defend on the next turn. but we might want to end with a supermassive. it's 32. we're already there! we're already there! play this, play that. we don't play this, we don't play that. and then we finally do some motherfucking damage to you. and now we're sitting here with a bunch of wasted energy but still, we want that free stardust. and now we want to play manifest authority last. sure.
44:21 very interesting. i don't think i can get there. i mean, i can kill you, which is a big milestone for me. okay. it feels like we probably want to just rush it down like a production on arsenal, an orbit, a manifest authority, flash of steel. no reason. if i may be so bold, fuck it. fuck it, man. double up on a sovereign blade.
45:07 i'm not gonna play, i'm not gonna exhaust a good defend out of my deck just to not waste energy. and we can only play one of these beasts. you know it and i know it. it has to be pillar of creation. now i'll finish with a goopy. wait, there's a chance, bro! there's a chance! and then, we're one energy away from orbit. you definitely send this. you probably want to finish with the goopy. oh, but voi oh! oh, it's so sad though!
45:54 because if we play void form it ends our turn. if we play void form our turn ends. but then it'll still goopy because it'll it ignores powers bro! so... let me think about it. because i think we got a falling star. solar strike triggers orbit, takes us to takes us back to three energy. nah, what we want to do? that's stupid man. and we wouldn't even be able to play the goopy because we would these are shackled. so...
46:30 you defend, trigger orbit, end your turn with the void form. take 12 but give yourself a great chance. okay, we get the doubled up goop. it's not that good man to be honest with you. we can only play one of these. i mean it might be goopy again but it might be super massive. either way i think you start with pillars of creation. okay man let's get you out there. you've been good. for some reason i thought you would be free. because you were, i think when we, when you were put in our hand you were free.
47:12 um, in that case, i mean, that's just far too expensive. lots of block? i think the story tells itself at this point. we hit you with a fucking 51 damage supermassive. and then we get 51 damage on the next turn as well. free beatdown? yeah, yeah, it's gonna be that. maybe you play supermassive first so that you get the beatdown to maybe trigger more supermasses.
48:05 okay, you hit the wrong fella. just disappointing, but that's okay. is this free? yes? well, it's gotta be banshee's cry, bro. and then you would play heavenly drill, i think, and then you would win with banshee's cry. it's that simple. then you would just win with banshee's cry. so this is a game that we've said is too difficult. it's supposed to be hard. maybe they were right in the beta to make it more difficult, to be honest, because this was kind of a joke.
48:56 also, oh, it's so nice to be able to put a good one on youtube sometime this week. not to say that the ones that are coming out are bad, but it's been a minute. it's been a minute. sorry to leave you with a shorter story.
