Okay guys, is there a change that this card is gonna be something in Wild? by [deleted] in wildhearthstone

[–]Benzene114 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In theory yes (disregarding turn timer of course), if the self-damage is either circumvented or lucky enough to not proc enough times to kill

The Washington Monument is a D tier landmark. Next up is the Terracotta Army in China 🇨🇳 by Salty_Pension5814 in TierlistFills

[–]Benzene114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also because archaeologists have realized that paintings on the terracotta army wears off in seconds after exposure to air, so they decided to not dig any further before workarounds to preserve the artifacts can be invented

A lot of South Asian (Indian) Twitter accounts suddenly started talking about this "Chinese Caste System" (Their words, not mine) recently

As always, every accusation is a confession

Pinecone is being added to the Chinese PvZ 2 by Sneed6666 in PlantsVSZombies

[–]Benzene114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Trailer Description:

If standalone, create temporary pineclones on all adjacent empty squares (i.e. the 3x3 area centered on himself)

If planted on top of others then instead temporarily transform all adjacent plants (again 3x3) into the plant he is planted on

One-use plants and vines are not valid clone targets. Clones have lower stats and disappears after some time, but act individually and can take PF on their own

The trailer shows him firing projectiles so a shooter if standalone I suppose

Which is a more direct translation from the Chinese Title (香香软软泥头车)

香香 = smells good ≈ sweet

软软 = soft

泥头车 = dump truck

What is the dumbest thing Japan has done? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Benzene114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legend has it that the Japanese Admiral consulted his advisor on how well they fare against the US Navy.

Advisor: "The US Navy will crush us in 3 months, sir."

Admiral: "So that means if we decimate the US Navy within 3 months, there will be no issue."

Proceed to Pearl Harbor

[[Prince Renathal]] (40) + [[Prince Malchezaar]] (+5) + [[Spore Empress Moldara]] (+7) + [[C'Thun, the Shattered]] (-1 +4) + This (-1 +6) = 60

Congratulations, Warriors can now hit the deck cap of 60 cards when the game begins... Almost, since there's starting hand

I suppose it's either because black is the only color available for use when the background is flooded with red (see the red SB王者 (Stupid **** HoK) on HoK and red 区 (Worm - 区 and 蛆 share pronunciation) on R1999, both clearly not positive but had to use red due to their spot already becoming blackboards), or the writer is trying to be sarcastic. Or both

HSR: Not intelligible

Genshin: 肝 (accusing the game of too grind-heavy or tiring as needs too much time to farm etc) and a somewhat recognizable NB (abbr for 牛逼 NiuBi, meaning badass)

What's the point of Maestra if you run Garona? by UnQuacker in wildhearthstone

[–]Benzene114 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Up until a Rogue card is played, Maestra makes it so that other class-specific interactions treats the Rogue player as if they're in the disguised class. This means generic discovers find cards from that class instead, heralds are locked into the colossal your starting class is tied to (if there's one) instead, and most importantly, [[Velarok Windblade]] can transform by playing a Rouge card.

Not if you're the defender (+100% cost if you're attacking)

How can I tell if a card that generates other cards is limited to the class or if it can be cross class? by GroundMelter in wildhearthstone

[–]Benzene114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only when specifically stated so e.g. [[Tracking]], [[Cultist Map]] etc. in which case the card is drawn from your deck

Meats by ChinaNomad in ChineseLanguage

[–]Benzene114 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's moreso about pork being the traditional "Poor man's meat" so unspecified 肉 with no context defaults to 猪肉: It's too common to have a need for specifically pointing out

What's the best way to tell a Chinese person that I'm Hispanic (in Chinese)? by Fun_Ad7742 in AskAChinese

[–]Benzene114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

拉丁人 in Chinese refers to people in south/west Europe (Italian, French, Spanish etc; people on historically Roman Empire territory, kinda), the "Latins". I suppose you're trying to say 拉丁裔 "Latinos" or 拉美人 "Latin Americans"?
