RyokoTK posted:I wonder if you're in danger of the rockets blowing up on you if you try to pull that as Crystal. She's already good as hell with Gamma Guts though. Forgot to mention the rockets, that might been what killed me instead. I was actually playing Crystal that run which is the only reason I bothered taking Gamma Guts, I consider it her Throne Butt because of how hilarious it is to stomp through a crowd with her Ultra B. Maybe if you combined it with Boiling Veins? But that's an even more situational pick than Gamma Guts unless you're running super explosive weapon heavy. Still, it's a fun (but pretty situational) interaction and I'm going to keep it in mind for future runs. It'll probably be nice on loops for Big Bandits at least.

You could always use it in conjunction with her Throne Butt to telefrag enemies  (seriously why is her throne butt so horrible)

Wrist Watch posted:You can do the same to Big Dog but the bullets spiraling out from him make it suicide, which is how I died testing my newfound strat. I'm pretty sure it was the bullets killing me, but it might have also just been the initial small explosions actually being explosions and not visual effects or something. It all happened pretty quick, so I'm not really sure. I think if you were to say, pick Crystal and also have her throne butt by then you might be able to get away with it because of how stupidly fast gamma guts ticks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ppPXUz562o&t=1006s (it helps if you touch him from a corner, because you're a bit farther away from where the explosions spawn) LazyMaybe fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Jan 15, 2017 |

Completed it as Eyes, I came out of 7-2 with a lightning hammer and a minigun (which I only picked up because my super crossbow ran out of ammo). Even with 500ish rounds and sucking in pickups my minigun ran dry and I ended it dodging back and forth swinging the hammer like mad. Good fight.

Party Boat posted:I'm at 33 hours played on Steam, about half of which was in the last two weeks. gg, well done. It took me somewhere around 30 hours to sit on the Throne too. Now you gotta go for that loop  e: Unrelated, but there's a Super Bazooka on 7-1 in this weekly, which is pretty much a free ticket to a decent run if you want to have some Melting/Crown of Death shenanigans.

Wrist Watch posted:I'm not sure how I never thought to try this before, but if you pick up gamma guts you can literally stand on top of Big Bandit and kill him in like two seconds since he doesn't deal contact damage and gamma guts ticks incredibly fast (every frame maybe? not sure). BTW this doesn't work against Lil' Hunter, as I just found out, because he explodes immediately when he runs out of HP and then explodes again when his jetpack finally burns off. I have never noticed that because as soon as I kill him I always run away One tiny little explosion and I just instantly died, thanks Lil' Hunter.

the best part of gamma guts is walking on top of cops as they come thru portals. also as crystal you can teleport on top of shielders/elite shielders as they are shielding and kill them with gamma guts through it, it's actually sincerely really good

Yeah I will happily take Gamma Guts, it's just not quite as dangerously cheesy as one might hope. Being able to saunter through looped wasteland or sewers and not waste valuable ammo is so nice, and being able to just stomp on shielders is a bonus. And I wasn't explicitly trying to cheese Lil' Hunter, he just landed next to me and my weapons were not super good for the fight so I gave it the ol' yolo.

Yeah he's a huge rear end in a top hat and a major roadblock for a while. Just keep hacking at it and you'll get him some day. He has an endless arsenal of ways to be a dickhead to you, too.

Grr, if I leave the game paused and the gamepad turns off due to inactivity, then the game crashes when I turn it back on.  Guess I could look and see if it's a known issue.

TooMuchAbstraction posted:[*]He doesn't have much health (considerably less than Big Dog). A single Super Crossbow volley will nearly kill him if all bolts land...not that I'd recommend trying that as it'd involve getting too close.[/list] Steroids and YV should both be able to 1-shot him if you got good weapons, I think that's how I beat him for the first time.

I kinda want to try and see about making a Nuclear Throne arcade cabinet. Maybe with NTTogether support. Then I'd have an excuse to play Nidhogg too. Any thoughts?

I actually thought about a cabinet too, but sticks would absolutely not work -- how would you aim, move and fire at the same time? I feel like a trigger on a joystick would get really tiresome.

Dual joysticks, buttons in between, dedicated airhorn? I am still 100% in the conception phase.

Twin sticks both with thumb buttons and index finger triggers. Program rapid fire into the right trigger with xpadder. Thumb buttons do swap and pickup. All set. Edit: Plus gigantic button in the middle of the board for airhorn

Track ball with button for left thumb ain't bad. It's already how I play & work (I haven't used a mouse on my main comp for years), and you can be surprisingly accurate with even with snap aiming once you get used to the travel speed.

One of the recent Humble Bundle subscriptions I got had a game called "Neon Chrome": http://store.steampowered.com/app/428750/ I just played through the game and it's essentially Nuclear Throne meets Rogue Legacy. It has less polish than those games, but it has some nice quality of life improvements too: - still twin-stick shooter, can use mouse/kb or controller - infinite main gun ammo with reloading - most guns are automatic - all explosives do this expanding radius thing before they explode - they say the levels are procedural but it seems like they're completely static except maybe enemy placement, this is a good thing because the levels are designed cleverly - Couch multiplayer up to 4 players at once Anyway, if you like Nuclear Throne you might like this, I'd say it's more or less worth the $7.50 it's on sale for, or keep an eye out for a larger sale or bundle.

I picked up Neon Chrome per your recommendation, and yeah it's pretty decent. It's not quite the sublime madness of NT but the combat is nice and crunchy and it looks great. It's like Rogue Legacy except that you keep ascending to make the world more challenging and it scales up the difficulty like NT loops do. Pretty fun, the weapons are a little anemic but it's not bad. And the difficulty curve is much gentler than most games of this type; I got my first Overseer kill the same day I bought it, although it's tougher now.

if you choose a character and then click the ^ next to the weapon on the right side of the screen it'll bring up your unlocked weapon + crowns. you can't do this for dailys though

Click on the pistol for the character you got it as and you should pop up a sub-screen that shows their unlocked crowns and skins and lets you switch between the pistol and their golden weapon. e:f;b

Yeah it's only that character's default weapon (typically the revolver) and whatever the last stored golden weapon is for that character.

the golden revolver is yv's default weapon, that's where you would normally see the revolver on most characters or chicken's sword/rogue's gun. only one gold weapon can be stored at a time, which is the last one you took through a portal
