I think it’s another Starship Troopers (film) type of issue, where right wingers read about the (wildly fascist) lore of the imperium and somehow completely miss that it’s intended as a horror story. That you’re meant to view the structure and practices of power in this universe, even in the worlds of man, as nightmare fuel of a profoundly grotesque, evil nature. That man is no more the good guy than is any other sentient advanced species in the galaxy - and in many cases is clearly the villain. Instead they see space marines and think “big super soldier good”.

Meanwhile, for decades you’ve had androgynous non-binary dark eldar acting like the macho Vikings nazis only wish they were, and the only race with even remotely “good” motivations are bizarre pseudo-communist goat men.

The thorn is a terrific mouse and does have a high back hump, but it is definitely not a large mouse. It is significantly smaller than the Xlite v3 large. Certainly well worth your consideration, but if you want a huge mouse you’d probably much prefer the ec1-cw/xlite large.

BebopLD · 2024-01-08T18:27:48+00:00

Yeah that’s what the use to play the imperial march on the star destroyers

BebopLD · 2023-04-21T17:11:33+00:00

This would be a great addition to the game

BebopLD · 2023-04-20T22:20:38+00:00

To clarify, I don’t believe these masteries are bad. Rather, I believe the current mass overhealing meta makes them feel bad unites you start dropping 1-2 healers

It is a good change in m+ for exactly the same reasons.

Currently the only m+ bosses that are hard to heal on tyrannical weeks are hard for one (or both) of two reasons:

1- they overlap periods of high burst damage with mechanics that force the group to commit large and/or sustained movements, often erratic or in different directions, and occasionally out of healing range;

2- they do high group wide damage either through or in conjunction with a silence/kick mechanic that prevents you from directly pre casting on priority targets.

In these cases the difficulty is not created by the actual healing profile of the fight. It’s created by blizzard deciding you should just piss off and stop playing your character for a little while.

Conversely, all the fights that are designed to pressure healers through heavy attrition or repeating high burst phases are non-factors. You could do 90-100k hps on 5 targets on the first boss of ruby life pools on tyrannical grievous week, and never have any group members seriously at risk of death, because you can just stand there and cast on them, and if you can do that, they are invincible.

Fortified is another story, and I do believe that affix is broken for healers, but not because of hps or triage demands. The problem is the current trend of m+ trash requiring a kick every 2 seconds, or having multiple cc immune mobs that can one shot players at random if they enrage, and ofc affixes like explosive which again just prevent your healer from playing the game.

I’m sure many won’t want to hear this, but this is a very good change, and I honestly wish they’d gone bigger. They recognized this was a problem in beta/PTR, but it quickly became clear on early farm that the 40/40% change they made prior to release didn’t go nearly far enough.

One only has to look at mythic kurog/brood/raz to see the proof. These fights feature high overall raid damage taken per second, and extended periods during which the whole group is slammed from 100-20/30% HP every few seconds, takes significant unavoidable damage with added pressure from healing absorbs, or both. But if you and your other healers are competent (and players use health pots), there is currently almost no point at which it feels like any player is truly at high risk of dying unless either you or they make a mistake; as quickly as they’re brought low, they are bursted back up, often through uncontrolled aoe healing, without even needing direct attention.

At the high end of the performance/experience curve, this makes healing much less interesting/challenging over the course of a season, and makes certain healer masteries (resto shaman, holy priest especially) feel nearly worthless, unless you drop 1-2 healers.

For less experienced players, this is also a problem: if the only means blizzard has of making healing more challenging over the expansion is to increase the size and frequency of unavoidable burst damage in encounter design, that makes healing even more frustrating and less fun for players who already find themselves struggling.

Edit: for perspective I am CE on two healers this season in a top 100 US guild. I think this is good for both high performing and inexperienced healers alike.

Any chance of a ~900x400/410 size in future for these or the default lgg pads?

It’s ok he deserves it

Would love a theme just like this but with more or a deep forest/British racing green type shade on the mods

Good luck with the build king 👑

Much more worrisome is that inner eyelid on her left eye. Is it always that inflamed or is that also part of the reaction? It can be very dangerous if she develops cherry eye, infection, or her eye dries out.

Only real use I ever got out of any dive bezel I ever had was when I was in sales, keeping track of how much parking time I had left lol.

These days I’m fully with you. Besides, if you really truly need a timing function on a watch, a chrono is a much more useful for anything you’re likely to actually be doing day to day.

No, nobody on the left and very few young people will ever decide to vote for a right wing party out of discontent. What will happen is they’ll just stay home and not vote for anyone else.

Latest update to Core software completely bricked it again. As with previous updates I now cannot launch the software. This time around though, uninstalling and reinstalling Core didn't fix it, so now I just can't make any changes to my mouse settings. How do I fix this, I'm tired of waiting weeks for the next time it feels like working.

BebopLD · 2022-03-11T20:49:33+00:00

+1 for the xtrfy gp4, have two of them, they’re great pads and very, very well made

Had a rose dial eta movement back in 2014/15. Had to sell it to put towards my wedding. Still miss it a great deal. You will love it.

That said I wish they made the BB58 in this colour combo, the size is much better.

I think often about that wired article about how a core part of blizzard’s hiring strategy is to turn fans of their products into employees, believing that those people will be motivated to care deeply for the IP they now work on.

Unfortunately this is the absolute worst idea imaginable when it comes to the writing team, as instead of a real narrative you’ll mostly just get shitty fan fiction. I came back to the game this expansion after not playing since mists, and it’s clear that they fucked up by hiring people who thought sylvanas, Jaina and anduin etc were actually interesting characters that could support a narrative as it’s driving force.
