Who's the worst cartoon character? I vote Henry, the dad from Dennis the Menace. He's a mask deliberately invented to whitewash the identity of his creator, Hank Ketcham, one of the worst men to ever make comics. It's gonna take a thread.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

What’s it based on?
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- my own sake. This was the former and my final breaking point. I uninstalled the game from my Steam library and hid it. There are only two games in that library that I’ve done that with, the other being Hearts of Iron 4, a game I despise for much the same reasons as Slay the Spire. I’m done.
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- shreds my health, the guy in front then deals the rest of my health and kills me. It takes a lot to genuinely get me to quit a game, either something needs to irk me on such a fundamental level that it turns me off completely or I get so angry that I physically need to stop playing for - [13.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- and defending. On the 3rd round of combat, I see the guy behind me going to defend and the guy in front going to attack. I say whatever, stack on some defense and throw a mark at the guy behind me to go around his shield. Suddenly, without any warning, he pulls 55 damage out of his ass and - [12.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- I go for it. It was a close fight but I just eke out a victory with 4 health remaining and move on. I enter the final stage and get all my health back before entering the second to last boss before the true final boss. The boss surrounds you on both sides and alternates between attacking - [11.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- which becomes 33 etc etc. I easily push past the Stage 1 and 2 bosses and enter the third stage with roughly 25 cards in my deck (not particularly great). I take a bit of damage previously before I land on an event that lets me skip to the Stage 3 boss early. With 64 out of my max 72 health - [10]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- that means. I got rid of my starting damage cards, picked up only defensive cards with the ability Scry (Lets you see the next X number of cards in your draw pile) and stacked up on Pressure Points, a card that stacks damage on a target every time that specific card so 11 damage becomes 22 [9.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- a perfect run but I didn’t have the defensive card when I really needed one and the boss was thinking of hitting you 16x3 times when I had 5 defense. That all changed tonight, i was playing Watcher and was on a good roll with a Defense-Heavy Mark build. For those who have no idea what - [8.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- same old story. I’d get to the 2nd or 3rd end of stage boss and get within teens worth of damage of taking them out but every time I’d be one card or point of damage short and have to chalk the whole run. Sometimes I could see the fault, shrugged and said “oh well”, other times it was - [7.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
I started plotting out my route more effectively and efficiently. That seed of bitter resentment and anger was still planted however and that’s where the third strike comes in. For the past two weeks, I’d been attempting on and off to break through to the final boss and every time was the - [6.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
“Why did you build your deck that way idiot?” “The best player in the game can reach Ascension Level 11 without breaking a sweat, it’s not impossible you idiot.” And for the most part, I took that advice when it was actually given. I tried only taking cards when it didn’t benefit my build. [5.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- but those experiences are typically few and far between. Slay the Spire? It’s an entire GAME built around that experience. That was the first true strike for me, the second came in the form of the community who I best describe as Soulsbros with a Card Gamer mentality. Just “Just git gud idiot” [4]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
- much chance with what I have but if I play this smart, I can get through this.” Slay the Spire feels more like “Ah dang, I picked a bad card 10 stages back and because of that, I’m now unable to kill the boss and need to reset the entire run.” Don’t get me wrong, that happens in other games- [3.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social) reply parent
Hades, Enter the Gungeon, Curse of the Dead God, other games of similar ilk like Soulslikes. Slay the Spire is where I draw the line. See another thing I like is being able to clutch when the aforementioned games give you a bad hand, the feeling of “Ok, I’m low on my resources and don’t have - [2.]
TheRatmanReturns (@theratmanreturns.bsky.social)
I think Slay the Spire and I have finally reached the end of the road of what I’m willing to tolerate. I’m just gonna say it, I utterly despise this game. I’m generally someone who enjoys Roguelikes/Roguelites, I enjoy the sense of progression and sense of challenge they typically dish out [1.]

Today I remember the past by remembering a past comic about a game that remembers the past of another older game. Ys: Origin was neat, but I still resent it terribly because "bumpkin brutalizes every single demon" is apparently not canon.
