  • This may not be helpful to you in particular, but I wanted to throw this out there.

    I don’t like Auto Rotate because apps can undesirably rotate when the phone is in odd positions. However, I think it’s great for video apps, camera apps, and photo galleries.

    Auto Auto-Rotate fixes this. It’s free and open source. When you toggle the Auto Rotate setting on or off, you’re doing it for just the current app!

    So now I just rotate my phone the way I want and YouTube matches. No need to hit the full screen button.

    Also, if you don’t know, in the YouTube app you can swipe a video up to make it full screen without having to use the full screen button. Of course, it’ll rotate the “natural” way first, which is what’s annoying you. Just thought I’d mention it. I sometimes use that feature when my phone is flat on a table while I’m eating or something and I don’t want to pick it up to engage auto-rotate.

    To work best, Auto Auto-Rotate equires a persistent notification, but even with that off, it will work for a long time before you have to relaunch the app. Battery optimization for the app should be off, of course.








  • Wand of Fireblast is soooo good. It’s hands down the best unupgraded wand because burn damage scales with the dungeon, it has a large AOE, and the burn ticks for a significant time. Just avoid using it in grassy rooms you haven’t trampled yet.

    Tips on using it:

    1. Never zap it if you are standing on something burnable (grass or doorway). You will immediately catch fire.
    2. If you kite enemies over grass or through doorways, it restarts their burn timer. You can kill enemies with a single zap of a +0 wand this way.
    3. It’s fun to zap Evil Eye’s as soon as they charge up, before you duck into cover. They’ll already be burning once you’re ready to start fighting them again.
    4. Flying enemies like bats and flies can’t put out the fire in water. Hit swarms of flies with ranged weapons to split them a couple times before zapping them and the one zap can kill the entire group.
    5. The wand can burn those piles of debris to save you from needing to use Liquid Flame. Same thing with those bookshelves in that one secret room that hide a Stone of Enchantment.
    6. It can’t burn Scrolls of Upgrade. Those can’t be destroyed in any way. I’ve definitely burned a scroll or two in my day, but it’s worth the risk.

  • I was recently offered Exotic Crystals and some other junk and went with the random trinket because I’ve used the crystals several times and they have annoying downsides.

    1. Inventory pressure. You simply can’t carry so many different potions and scrolls early in the game.
    2. Some basic scrolls are often better than their exotic versions. Specifically Identify, Remove Curse, and Transmutation.

    On the other hand, you get a ton of alchemical energy from exotic items, so if you don’t need them, alchemize them.


  • Only thing I’ve got is throwing items at the grass squares adjacent to the point of impact since they can keep spawning grass for a couple of turns, depending on where the gas landed.

    I’ve never been offered the censer, so I’ve never used it. I have literally no idea what you’re saying here. 😅

    What does the censer have to do with grass?
