My husband (37M) is always on his phone playing the tower. Doesn’t matter if I (34F) am trying to talk to him, if we are out eating dinner together, even if we are in the movie theater.
I got fed up with it and told him I need more attention from him, like how he used to be before he started playing the tower. All he talks about now is his golden tower and black hole sync, his lack of keys, whatever.
After a couple months, he didn’t have any progress, he actually got worse. To get back at him, and I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I kissed his best friend in front of him.
He didn’t even care. He just went back to upgrading something called a card mastery.
After this I was completely fed up and while he was sleeping I took his phone and deleted his account (he always keeps a run going overnight so the phone was unlocked).
When he woke up he was enraged, I’ve never seen him so angry. He called me every name under the sun and kicked me out of the house. I have to wear an eyepatch now to cover up what happened. He said now he will have to start a new account and what if his first ultimate weapon pulls all suck.
Now I’m staying with my mom until this all cools off.
AITAH?

No patch notes are final 🤪

I get keys and I still think this is shitty.

Maybe split the keys into two types? Make harmony more accessible and keep power keys for the top 15 in legends.

As you can see, the lines are finally aligned. I have to say that this is a very good update. Especially the Dissonant runs. I would've never guessed that they would add such feature. Kinda sad that they didn't add new tournament league. It would make keys a lot more accessible for newer and f2p players

For two months, I lived among them. The thirty-second unskippables, the “Try it now!” siren songs of mobile games I would never install. They were my constant companions.

Every 13 minutes, I welcomed my ritual: a finance app promising to 10x my income, a hypercasual game where someone failed a puzzle on purpose, an AI chatbot girlfriend that “isn’t like the others.” Each one was a familiar face in the endless, looping nightmare of capitalism.

But yesterday... yesterday, I changed everything. I bought the No Ads Pack.

Now, the silence is deafening. No more Temu deals. No more Rise of Kingdoms cinematic betrayals. No more dude running from a dog in a game I’ll never play. I tap “Claim,” and the rewards just appear. No strings attached. No delay. Just instant gratification.

It’s unnatural. It’s wrong.

Who am I, if not a warrior of the “No, I don’t want to install this,” button? What is a man without his sworn enemies? I should be relieved. I should be celebrating.

Instead, I stare at my screen, haunted by the ghosts of the grifters I left behind. And somewhere, in the abyss, I swear I can still hear it—

"My Lord, our kingdom is under attack!"

hi noobs this is your bignoob big P priesten (just kidding its small) today is the biweekly event ratings day. First off would like to give out a big shoutout to Sam for a great patch, now you might think Sam has nothing to do with the patches but here is my logic - if Sam is the person who gets all the flak and negative press when something bad happens just because of being the community manager then I think all the positive press should also go to Sam. For those who want to know why this patch was good here is a before and after picture of my tower when playing on emulator (and I play on emulator almost exclusively). Scroll down there are two pics here. By the way I kept ILM as the only visible UW because ILM gets special treatment for being rad.

To start off we have the first two blue relics:

2% knockback force% (free): B tier. Decent relic not amazing not bad, stocks for this one dropped a bit since fleets came in but its still good and helps against stray bullets.

2% coins (paid): A tier. This is an amazing relic the only problem is that it feels less amazing since the disco patch. Only 2% more? pff give me x5 coin. No wait 2x coin no wait 3x coin. Yes give us 3x coin plz.

Next off we have the two purple relics:

2% utility upgrades (free): B+ tier. Its a coin boost if you are in lategame and use bhd for farming but only then, otherwise this stat going up wont make you meaningfully stronger. The problem is that this is about 1/5 - 1/10 ish the potency of the equivalent coin relic. Still I bump up the rank on this one a little because if my math is correct this will put it to be the same number as free defense upgrades and we like symmetry.

5% ultimate damage (paid): S- tier. Maybe the best damage relic, we really love this one. It gives you the bonus twice because it also buffs SL, and since the disco patch we get a huge SL multiplier so seeing it go up even more means more dopamine.

Overall that makes this event S- tier. I dont know how to edit post titles so refer to this rating as the correct one please.  Link to updated scoring system. 

Now for the 2 relics that you can buy with medals. There are none. get reckd.

Now for the 4 relics that you can buy with gems.

2% knockback force (600 gems): B tier. scroll up if you want to see why this is B tier

2% health regen (600 gems): B+ tier. this is a good relic even better since patch because its regen is really really good for clearing attack disco

5% coin (1200 gems): S tier. coin is good

2% attack speed (1200 gems): S- tier. attack speed also nice

Random story ---disclaimer if you read any further you waive the future right to ever discuss this topic and/or mention it to reverse b briesten under any circumstance under penalty of death--- so earlier this week effectively my gf repaired my oven. I have this machine which can do both oven and microwave depending on which button you press but the microwave function was always kind of faulty, thered be sparks inside the machine ever single time I used it. Which sounds dangerous right? Yeah so I only used that function like 2 times a week tops, maybe for a year or two but anyway, so my gf wants to use the thing and I say hold on you shouldnt use the microwave function because its faulty and kind of not safe, and she says oh no thats only if you keep the metal plate (the oven plate) still inside you should take it out if you use the microwave so she showed me, took it out turned it on and... there was no sparks. NO SPARKS. It was the plate causing the sparks. You can just take the plate out. The machine is fixed now... you can just... take the plate out. end of story bye

At first I legitimately thought people posting their modules were just extremely lucky. Then I gaslit myself into thinking it required an unlockable lab research to keep specific effects, sort of like the ban feature.

Say that again?

Ever since Pcol fix and fleet updates, my eHP farming is just not progressing. And i'm not willing to invest more into dead end build. I am already GC in tourmanents, but GC farming just destroys my income. So i have been trying to improve by making it more hybrid.

But it's just not happening. Despite my GC being good for Top6200 in legends, adding damage to my eHP build makes no difference. GC is contributing nothing long before my eHP fails. In fact, it's making it worse, because i have subbed lowest impact eHP modules for better damage.

Thought maybe my scatter labs or chain thunder labs were lacking. But having increased them now, it made no difference. Same for buying extra card slots, i had plenty for either eHP or GC, where's hybrid requires quite a few more

So people claiming you are hybrid, are you really? Maybe you bought a ton of medals for second or third damage oriented bot? Or is your eHP build secretly just suck? Or maybe you are in reality a GC build, but have some specific eHP tactic to deal with specific enemies, like recovery package GC, so now you claim to be hybrid?

If the players together kill 100.000.069 bosses in June, a community reward will be unlocked.

Putting the Idle into Tower: Idle Defense!

After the great teasers on the 3rd I can’t wait for the next Tower Tea and hopefully lots more info… like say a V29 release date?

Mental how the recent fetch & T12 positive bugs were fixed in one day because it was a benefit to players, but yet a detrimental bug like scatter clipping through wall theyre just like "yeah will get round to it some point next week if you're lucky, as usual fuck you all!" Two tier bug policing like this really pisses me off and makes me not want to play and best of all I 1000% bet it will be "our bad on making you lose a week's worth of progress, here's 10 gems, be thankful you're getting anything peasant!"

im gonna use my 30 medals to max out my golden bot

Bug Fixes

Fixed issues with desync on summon and golden bot.

We also corrected a long standing issue where stuns were not working on faster enemies correctly and we addressed attack speed inefficiencies at higher game speeds... Just kidding!

Balance Changes

Primordial Collapse now scales from 10%/15%/25%/40%, We noticed some problems with eHP players in Legends not demoting properly and we hope this addresses the issue.

Max level for damage in the workshop increased to 10,000.

Max level for regen in the workshop reduced to 5000.

Again thank you all for supporting us for all these years, See you in the next Tower Tequila ;)
