🧵

#

Just trying to make sure I have my bases covered, so far I explain Negative for Ectoplasm, any joker that references an enhanced card (Marble, for example), any joker/spectral that references a gold seal, any card that references Holo/foil/poly

ionic raft
#

Maybe for planetarium when you initally buy it?

raw acorn
#

i am unclear on whether or not stone cards get played regardless of hand type, i believe they do? but i am not sure

Sounds good

ionic raft
#

maybe be able to hover over the box for some of these?

something on supernova that tells what the multiplier is for the current hand

ionic raft
#

I was gonna say that but it makes no sense because this is just when hovering over.

the suit , i quite often find myself using tarot on the wrong suit (mistaking spade for club)

ionic raft
#

Imo

quick harness
#

I mean, any highlighted text should have a related tooltip

ionic raft
#

yea but like the uncommon, rare, the hands, discards, boss reroll, etc

#

kinda already explain themselves, or would be more of a way to introduce things to new players that dont know much yet.

#

The rest are kinda nice to not have to remember.

#

These tooltips are designed mostly for references to something specific. Most of the operative verbs in the game mean something pretty close to their english meaning

#

So Tags for sure could do a better job

#

But what about the word 'Planet', should that be explained?

raw acorn
#

from the perspective of a new player, knowing what a planet card does would be helpful

#

same for tarot/spectral

hexed fractal
#

Would a tooltip be able to do that?

#

No, I think Planet and Tarot are so core to the game that it would only be helpful once and be clutter forever (where as the rest are actually potentially helpful)

ionic raft
#

thats what im saying.

#

Those are more conceptual

ionic raft
#

you eventually learn the concept

raw acorn
#

it'd only really need explaning one time, after that it would be clutter

A tool tip what debuff means

I'd like to thank you very much - This is based on my reaction to not being able to hover over what "stone" meant. Would a tooltip be available for skipped antes (Sometimes, I forgot I skipped an anti and have $15 coming at me and don't plan accordingly)

The tutorial already describes consumables, and I have not heard any complaints about the word 'Planet' not being explained

#

Is it hoverable, tho? Or just a picture? I don't remember.

hallow thistle
#

It reads the effect of the tag when you hover iirc yeah

hexed fractal
#

Not in the blind selection screen they aren't, only once you skip and it gives it to you

#

I'm a long time StS player, so much of this was intuitive for me. I was just thinking about fresh newbies.

Otherwise the settings screen would be littered with options for QOL features

#

I have heard other players say the same thing as well

#

So I'll add those

past shard
#

maybe a tool tip that lets you know your current handsize when taking spectral cards that reduce it or Juggler

#

that adds to it

ionic raft
#

doesn't the hand that appears during spectral stuff and tarot, etc correspond to hand size?

#

for some reason the first time I saw juggler I thought it meant +1 joker size but for some reason it said +2 hand size and included itself...
