I have typed "please" far more times than I've typed "you useless donkey" into Cursor the past 24 hours. This is a stronger marker of a shift than anything else I've seen
For context, I've got about 90 hours in the game. Maybe 15 or so D5 wins. I'd never looked anything up about the game and played purely on vibes. When nightmare came out, it was clear that I wasn't going to have a good time, so I started watching some YouTube and reading this subreddit.
For me, the biggest "woah" moment was realising how broken Curse is. I kept seeing people say Creature was very strong, which was bizarre to me. Up until then I basically always skipped cursed items. Why would I want something that's cursed? I don't want to be cursed. That sounds bad. I tried it - Creature is the only character so far I've oneshot nightmare with. Nightmare creature is easier than most characters D5, imo.
Am I alone in this kind of thing or any other nuggets people have picked up?
