The AI is poor and the new mechanics are repetitive. Not to mention the abysmal balance which is brilliantly illustrated by the fact that francis could win by playing only squirrels.

IIRC the moon is specifically immune to instant kills, just like boulders. You'd need a wipe to wipe it's sigils if you wanted an instakill... EDIT: I'm probably thinking of Kaycees Mod. Core game leshy is pretty weak.

I'm glad that you reference Frog Fractions here because I have, as a joke only I use, described games that massively subvert expectations as "froglikes" (for extra effect, pronounce as "froguelikes") and I am glad to see someone else make that connection.

The boss battle is so much better with music D:

29:30 Bell Ringer makes its attack dependent on where you play it in relation to the bell. If you'd played it in Lane 2, the other lane you opened, it would have had 3 attack. If you'd played it in Lane 1, right next to the bell, 4 attack. Very powerful card, which is why the rules for it are blacked out!

For the GPS, the coordinates don't need to have many digits to be exact. It's like the decimal system, 10 is as exact as 10.123456. They are just different numbers at a different position. GPS 0/0 is exactly a point somewhere south of the left hump of africa.

"10" could mean 10.??????, so it does not necessarily have the same precision as 10.12345 or 10.00000. But the card did have lots of "digits", so they were precise coords.

But that is still 10 because during the conversion you lost precision and got a different number basically same as rounding down.

Oh Francis, if only you knew what else is about to come. This ride is far from over :D Also, there are so many hidden mechanics in this game it's insane. The only hints you get is what some of the characters say or a "hidden meaning" of a card name. Been a while since i had this much fun uncovering all the secrets in a game.

Doing that fight without the music was criminal. Now that you have a better idea what the game actually is, will you turn it back on?

I am surprised to see you play this game, but it's still great seeing more play this. It looks like you had these pre-recorded so whatever people had told you before is now null-and-void from here on. There isn't much to say other than echoing another comment from last video: PLEASE TURN ON THE MUSIC, the music is absolute for the experience and without it the game becomes empty and dead. Other than that, Keep an eye for secrets like before, some will help you, and some expand the story within this game (if you're interested to learn more).

I don't know what I loved more... This game You playing this game Or your visceral reaction to the everything floppy disk! 😂

Ahh, So we head deeper down the rabbit hole! I love how Act 1 all unfolds ending in this beautiful reveal - Especially with the camera tipping. Glad to see you're enjoying this- But Francis... PLEASE TURN ON THE MUSIC!! It hurts seeing the game without it 🥲. Oh yeah, And commenters- No spoilers, No tips! Leave Francis to his own devices!! Let Francis discover all the secrets himself! This game is best experienced blind :P

40:00 yeah, you can feel the IT background, honestly that hurt pretty bad, add to that remembering having used floppy disks... I feel old now lol

"A heroin addiction would be cheaper" That... sounds like experience. With magic, not heroin.

Also, the one with the bell has attack based on how close it is to the bell. You played it in the spot where it had 1 attack, but all the way to the left, it has 4

I’m loving all the Inscryption videos!

Ep3a makes so much more sense

No matter how many digits on your coordinates, you'd still need a landmark. GPS isn't mapping to actual Earth but a model, so you'll never have this sort of precision.

It’s difficult to not write spoilers. This game is great, but it’s also full of mysteries, and there are many techniques depending on the game mode.

Your commentary on the floppy drive and videos split my sides FJ. 🤣 Good videos today. 👍

Now I want Francis react content.

The coordinates shown at @37:53 are in a lake South from Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB) in British Columbia, Canada. Likely an approximation, but the scenery on this guy's video does look like what you would see around the region.

"something a serial killer would say" , love it!.

Part 2! Part 2!

Pretty sure that the "mana", for want of a better description, is based on the four Scribes. You've seen the Blood of the first Scribe that you have already beaten, the Bones seem to be the mana of the Undead Scribe, the Blue Card one would probably be the mana for the Tech Scribe. It's likely that each scribe uses two of the four kinds I would guess It's strange though how they want you to beat Leashy again, after just beating him... Very odd.

That unexpectedly went down a very strange hole, if you know what I mean. And I don’t see it coming out any time soon either.

Taking 2 turns of free damage sounds like a bad idea to me.

Why not use the stinkbug or something with poison against the moon? ;P Also: disabling the music was a bad decision, it really helps setting the mood

Did not think about it at the time. Turn out it would be super effective in the base game. In the free play version when you finish the moon is immune to such things.

The is an infinite combo with the Skelton guy that makes skeletons for 1 bone and the character that gives you an extra bone for each death. There's a couple other ways to get infinite bones but I don't remember them.

you could have used stinkbug to reduce the moon damage to 0 or play a card that instantly kills anything it damages

It's kind of a shame that FJ beat Act 1 so quickly. I spent dozens of attempts, learning many cards and playstyles, before my first win. Oh well, there's always Kacyees Mod. If FJ get's hooked on that, I don't seem him quitting until he beats it with ALL challenges enabled. THAT isn't something that can be done with luck alone. I'd put it at about the same difficulty as Ascension 20 from Slay The Spire, depending on how good or bad the starter deck is. Act 2 is probably going to go a little slow at first until FJ finds the right cards. I don't think he's even met the OP cards for Act II yet, so he doesn't even know to look for them, and even if he sees them, the best abilities are hidden mechanics that don't show up on tooltips.

It is immensely satisfying to see FJ getting better so quickly at this game

Yo Francis. After vigorously watching just about anything youve posted, ive lost interest as of late. Dunno why, havent followed the last rimworld playthru. Stopped when you decided to make the same base, although efficient its very boring. The game itself is fun, but ill see that when i play it. Dunno if its just me, you have a better view of your views. Imho you need something, something else... while writing; the other week when you looked at your old base, you said along the lines of 'wtf was i thinking'. I remember that you were thinking back then that even though you shouldnt, since you could, you will !. Maybe thats missing, things dont always have to be the most efficient. Elaborate is way more fun... Maybe thats just me. I watch old crap gamers cause theyre fun, not good. Jingles and Neebs mostly. Anyway, my 2 cents. As always, still love ya, wont go anywhere ;)

I really don’t enjoy watching you play this game
