That's not a very helpful trick, since you don't know what's coming until you open the thread. Better is to just put everyone you see performing the undesired behavior on ignore. That way you don't need to be prescient

I'unno, I remember most of the 90s being kinda' shit. Better than what folks spoke of for the 80s, but... not great. Especially if you had any health issues in the US, bleh. I guess those were the years of Infantry, though, so it wasn't all mediocre-to-bad. Unfortunately '96 was before those days, so...

Mimics, trapped chests, really the moral of the story is to just shoot all the chests open and make peace with however many that ends up ruining. It's for the better.

Yeah, the bigguns have that, too. I never noticed the little ones had, mostly because they die pretty easy, so... none got close. Big ones have much more health, plus those tentacles can do the get-over-here thing, so I've ended up close to them pretty often.

Yeah, last I checked it's aimed basically right at where Michael hit, so... well, there's a lot of people hoping quite hard it stays a tropical storm, instead of deciding to become yet another overnight fuck-all-of-you event.

Ooh, small tip that might be easy to miss: Wands with some knockback make traveling to places like the spirit essence much, much less tedious. Can speed you up pretty significantly, which is nice when places like the lake are so bloody deep.

Poly pots aren't far from it, though. Game seems to be lousy with the things, poly and chaotic poly always feels like they're one of, or the, most common flasks. Which is kinda' annoying, 'cause they're also probably the deadliest substances in the game.

E: Now, what there really needs to be is a perk that lets you stay poly'd indefinitely, probably let you kick your way out of it or something. Then you can play poly roulette until you hit the lich or somethin' and have some fun. _{actually, can you hit bosses with those things? Is there some small chance to turn into the dragon?}

E2: Also daily (or just random) form runs would probably be pretty great. Have your base form for that game be some random critter.

Fliers do get stunned by impacts, though? Tends to feel like not as long or as hard as you do, but you totally can swat stuff out of the sky. It's super evident if you fly up to the works and hit one of the floaty squishy things a bit.

Edit anywhere is... honestly kinda' powerful, and strips a lot of the decision making from the game. Maybe if it destroyed wands you drop by default or something, with a replacement perk changing that behavior? That'd be a decently hefty nerf. Alternatively, you can only move spell components a certain number of times between mountains or somethin', stuff like that. Edit anywhere lets you casually strip wands of spell components as you go, which cuts a fair amount of strategy et al from the game. If it was default it would probably need to be limited, somehow.
