A short-ish post by me on how to use SMB3 (not the plumber game) with NixOS.

Did it make sense? No… but I had an early burnt joker that was unfortunately eternal so I thought why not.

Run died on on Ante 16 unfortunately because I got no hand size voucher (also didn't pay attention to skips, which didn't help), but still a solid run.

Deck during final round:

Not perfectly fixed but whatever. I knew run would die because of lack of hand size and one joker slot missing from eternal burnt so I focused on leveling high card for fun.

Edit: I also had some blue seals for most of the run which with the two mimes later would give three planets, which is where a lot of levels came from

A follow-up to my post last week, the title is a bit unfortunate but it is what it is.

Anyhow, here I set up a repository that defines one host using the dendritic approach in a very simple manner (plus another one before to introduce how flake-parts does this). It uses the package and service defined in another repository in Part 1, also linked in this post.

It only goes into the basics and is already long enough in my opinion, but I tried to write everything down to start with a clean base from scratch. There is a lot of room for improvement, but it should get the basics right.

Currently in the process of writing this, but I felt like the current progress already has some stuff worth sharing. I'd be happy for some feedback and possible improvements!

Steam doesn't show a lot of the achievements, but that's fine.

I guess next challenge would be NaNInf but I'm not sure I want to do that

No true xmult joker (though wheel was generous enough for a random poly) and a single scaling +mult. The initial Vagabond can be bought after the very first round and copied a bit later, leading to huge deckfixing potential. Obviously two eternal vagabonds are a hindrance for anything more serious, but this won gold easily. Seed is VDY57414 (PS my instance doesn't seem to show previews by default anymore, you might need to click on the image box)

Got an early DNA that had a 50% chance of being copied by invis joker (forgot which other one I had back then), used it to clone tons of purple seals to feed fortune teller (only bad luck of the run was no crystal ball or discard vouchers when I could afford), an early hologram from a judgement made this really easy as it gained 0.5x every round from DNA. Round 7 shop had Idol which for me was completely unstickered, Round 7 Boss Blind had 2 of Spades for Idol which were my purple seals, after that it was Ace of Spades which were cloned blue seal iron cards, so I skipped straight to the final Boss Blind.

Seed is S4INQKLR in case anyone's curious

Beat Jokerless today after trying since some days and some ragequits and restarts. Video is Ante 8 only, run started around 10s (mostly a 10 of hearts mult with gold seal) until a grim destroyed exactly that card from a draw where this was the only 10… anyhow it turned out well.

Mods active: better mouse and keyboard, and Talisman with scoring animation disabled. Actually a handicap because I wasn't able to assess early how significant lucky cards are for hitting the score.

I always procrastinated playing this game more (and other fighting games in general because none of my friends play any) but I said when / if Strive releases ranked, I'm gonna put some time into it. Well here we are and I'm having a great time, much better than with the silly tower.

In this post, I go into hopefully better output parsing.

Another funny win on gold because of the unimpressive jokers. Got golden first which I think was really risky in painted deck, but took the gamble and it actually paid off! Runner and Fortune Teller were just meant to be stopgaps but painted is probably the best deck to build runner so I did just that. Rental Hallucination by mid game to build mult (which it did, unfortunately no screenshots) This is how my deck looked, I tried to get a lot of red sealed steels into it to make use of the hand size. Fun run and shows what's possible if you make use of your deck's strength.

… remember you're not as useless as this Banana:

Just stumbled upon this in my recommended videos. I didn't create this.

After having a lot of trouble on the previous stake using the deck, this was a breeze (first try back to back after https://youtu.be/X3SDc_Ik5aE). Definitely not flawless, but still good result.

Some facts about the run:

• First time reaching Ante 15
• my best hand with 7.6e15 points (https://youtu.be/RC5sNNQ8q7Q?t=4100)
• 4 legendary jokers (effectively 5)
• actually sells one during the run
• sells Blackboard with an almost completely black deck (https://youtu.be/RC5sNNQ8q7Q?t=2714)

Recently started recording my runs because I thought it's nicer than just screenshots, this turned out to be my best one so far. Sure the hand score is skewed due to Plasma, but hey, I don't make the rules.

No, I'm not expecting anyone to watch this whole thing.

First time actually having a working deck around madness. Was good enough to reach Ante 13. https://imgur.com/a/7jIb8qO

This is one of the best buffon packs I ever got, and it was the very first one I opened that run… and at that point, neither of them did anything (since it's abandoned deck). Blueprint was still appreciated but I thought it was a fun coincidence that technically, neither of these would help right after selecting.

Finished the run, was low stakes anyways but wanted to share the situation.
