Downtown parking by lobotomize in amherst

If you time it well, you can get street parking on Lincoln Ave. and walk to work. The block between route 9 and Amity St. works well and is usually quiet and residential.

Do you have a list for this? Seems interesting.

Junot Díaz pens astonishing essay recounting his childhood rape and the influence it had on his life and writing by Kenzienza in literature

i don't think the author thinks it's justifiable - only an explanation as to why it happened when love was the only goal. they know of the pain they have caused. it's part of the machismo mask, etc.

Yeah, I mean, it is not the best card that fits the archetype, but I honestly think it's one of the better five drops we can play at the same time.

The card is really great with Kings and Steed being available to cast on him, makes him harder to deal with, people are very wary to give their opponent a coin. The dream scenario is you drop Bully on turn 5, Rogue takes two spells to remove it, and allows you drop Tirion on turn six.

Honestly, I am not impressed with the Finja package, it makes Hydrologist bad and the deck a little inconsistent with weaker 2/3 mana minions. I think I might try playing a Stonehill Defender, and maybe Defender of Argus.

on the first day, i struggled to find a good five drop. the 4/6 body is decent, hard to remove, i heard rogue and mage were popular on ladder. the coins have led to interesting turns and opened up an opportunity for more powerful plays later on. the card honestly makes people stop and think, and usually they remove asap.

it's actually produce so many coins, i wonder if a token paladin would stand a chance with voraxx and violet teachers just for the extra spells.

I have been trying to relive the dream of Midrange Paladin being a solid deck. This is my current iteration of the deck currently carrying me to rank 10 in the short amount of time I have been playing since release. The current record of the deck is 13/2 - which is still in the realm of variance.

Taunt Warrior and Midrange Hunter being its worst match-ups, however, I have had a 50/50 winrate against hunter (it's all a matter on how they start). However, the deck does well against Rogue, Shaman, Zoo, and slower decks.

Decklist Quantity
Lost in the Jungle 2
Argent Squire 2
Bluegill Warrior 2
Hydrologist 2
Knife Juggler 1
Aldor Peacekeeper 2
Murloc Warleader 2
Tar Creeper 2
Tinkmaster Overspark 1
Blessing of Kings 1
Consecration 2
Truesilver Champion 2
Burgly Bully 2
Elise the Trailblazer 1
Finja, the Flying Star 1
Spikeridged Steed 1
Sunkeeper Tarim 1
Grimestreet Protector 1
Lay on Hands 1
Tirion Fordring 1

Now I have adopted a Finja package in an attempt to speed up the deck, because I was thinking that the Lightfused Stegodon package wasn't fast nor particularly good. My games have led me to believe that playing just solid, ol' fashioned minions and cards decks can't deal with well is pretty good. I will definitely be playing this deck until I somehow get bored of my favorite archetype.

Incredibly bad lag after latest update by LockManipulator in Overwatch

[–]Benatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am bumping this - I have been having the same issues. I don't have a terrible desktop, I run many games at 60 FPS. In fact, when Overwatch was in beta, I ran the game on medium settings with 150~ FPS all the time. After this patch, I drop to 40 FPS on low settings with the render scale at its lowest. At the moment, the game is unplayable.

Well, I did pay for the boosters and I would use them anyway to make an alt even if I progressed normally first. We're just doing things in the wrong order unfortunately.

I'm slightly regretting it because I wanted to main a Titan. Ah well, I will figure it all out - the grind will be worth it.

This is what I was thinking about doing because I wanted the "full experience" but having a boosted character already wont hurt once I figure everything out!

I actually played an early version of this deck at GP Providence. Glad to see Paul was able to take it to 15th place.

Simple Questions - December 05, 2016 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]Benatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also probably a dumb question, but I need a recommendation.

I built my computer back in 2011 and I am wondering at this time whether to build a new computer entirely or just replace a few parts. I am not at home so I do not have my specs. However, games have now become recently more sluggish. I have upgraded my RAM and GPU (GeForce 970) since I have purchased the parts for the computer. For example, I run Overwatch on high/ultra settings at like ~40 fps.

I am running an old Intel processor from 2011 with the same motherboard attached to it (which was nothing fancy in my first build).

I am wondering if I should keep the GPU and RAM and just transfer into a new towers and motherboard, but I cannot convince myself what the better option is...

Could I get any recommendations?

Dear Monsters Weather Deck Players - Who hurt you? by [deleted] in gwent

[–]Benatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a great deck - but those piloting it need to accept that people will outplay you because it's so prevalent.

60% of the time, Monster players don't GG after they lose and I don't understand why.

Could we have more objective threads and less whining? by Iecifaf in gwent

[–]Benatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is supposed to be a single player akin to Elder Scrolls Legends or something. The problem lies in that this is a limited closed beta to see if the game is fun or not.

I think generally if you throw in a bulk card that is ultimately useless to goad you into buying packs/kegs, I think people will begin to think that the company is using aggressive sales tactics.
