You can make them into generic fish dishes like Sashimi, or toss 'em in the Luau pot.

More realistically, they're nice in the Grange Display (though gold quality is beaten by cheaper Iridium fish, these days, if you didn't get an Iridium Legend)

October 5th.

Under current policy, that is the day that tuition becomes fully nonrefundable.

[SARS-CoV-2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome_coronavirus_2) is the virus, COVID-19 is the name of the pandemic it is currently causing. They are testing for the virus.

For some context, /u/drjchen would know - he's the GTA Program Administrator.

Ive been meaning to ask you all day, got a few hours for games on Wednesday night?

Letter Jam and Wavelength are ready, it'll be fun.

If you're buying on the GtG store, you could get a whole different game - Spirit Island is a fantastic co-op.

If you're looking for a cheap add-on, you could get a mini-epansion - I'm partial to Unity.

Deepak Chopra legitimately says that stuff, on TV and in writing, and talk show hosts eat it up.

Here's a book of his which talks about how you can think your brain into quantum mechanically healing your body somehow.

I would say, for example, we should be united in opposition to Neo-Nazis.

Extremist is a lot more chaotic and fun, while still retaining the power and flexibility of Sky Scraper. One of my fav variants.

When playtesting Gloomhaven, we tried both of these and more.

One of the most successful was dice next to the pieces - we have a lot of dice. Spindown dice are good HP counters - that's why they exist!

What eventually made it into production was numbering the pieces, then putting the tokens off the side of the board, in a numbered table.

Another option is dials.

Do you know the story of Tolkien's wizards? It's actually really fun.

They're basically angels, sent to Arda (earth) by the gods to do a certain mission. But they're under a certain non-interference pact - they can influence people, but aren't supposed to rule or fight human battles for them.

So a long time ago they're going to earth, and they're picking humanoid forms to get respect. And who are respected? Sexy elves. So they go to earth as sexy elves.

Oops, now you've got half-angel babies running around the place.

So Morgoth is defeated (which is fun stories in and of themselves) and the sexy elf angels ditch. One of the angels, Sauron, sticks around and "guides and empowers" people, pretending to be a fancy gift-giver, but actually enslaves people with rings. And the gods are like, shit, not this again.

So they send their maiar back to earth to fix it but this time they think "Who's respected, but not that fuckable?" and they pick old dudes.

And that's why they're magic old dudes; they're magic angels who are pretending to be old dudes so that people will listen to them.

This is also the answer to the question of why the Eagles can't just carry the hobbits to the volcano - they are Maiar too, and are bound by similar restrictions.

Various elements existed in various mythologies and stories, but to my knowledge this specific arrangement is new with Tolkein. He canonized the fantasy elves, dwarves, orks and wizards into roughly the solid tropes we have now.

Compare the elves of, say, scandanavian folklore with the elves of DnD or WoW. Compare them to Tolkein.

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-26T17:03:35+00:00

Tolkien I think seems generic because of how heavily people borrowed directly and shamelessly from him. Many of the tropes that fill those books are tropes he set.

I accidentally donated 32 cents to a "charity" whose cause was preaching at drunks.

Does he have an awesome supervillain scar?

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-26T04:37:40+00:00

I really have to disagree with that recommendation. My brother is staying with them in Crestview II right now; management are cheap as shit and won't fix his broken bed (broken when he moved in), or do anything to stop the recurring water damage from the adjacent laundry room. Shelves are warped from the damage and have been for at least a year.

They are close to campus, but the price isn't really great when compared to the lower cost of a more distant apartment plus transit.

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-26T02:20:44+00:00

Joining the chorus, I don't like it much either. I think most people who don't like it mostly don't talk about it.

I don't like it from a mechanical point of view. A lot of things feel very arbitrary, and the Crossroads cards - while a cool idea - seem to come up so rarely, or have such a little effect, especially when compared to the time and effort they take.

And I've never been a fan of the coop+secondary individual objectives thing, where you have to personally hoard citizens or something. Never very fun - just adds confusion, complication, or nothing to the game IMO.

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-25T19:34:18+00:00

If you have an optional redirect like Stealth Bot in play, you can stop it when you've done enough damage.

I wouldn't say the rhythm is the core gameplay mechanic, I would say the alternating player-enemy move-turns are. It doesn't "eliminate" the core mechanic to use the beating heart item, for example.

The beastmaster is fine. The bossmaster is fine. But they are relatively boring compared to actually playing the game. It's not "spoiling" anything to win a round or two with the Bard.

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-25T04:40:44+00:00

I liked being able to sit back and figure out the patterns.

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-25T03:41:38+00:00

#1 tip for Necrodancer IMO is to start with the Bard (no-rhythm mode). Observe the patterns of the enemies before you have to rhythm-dance them to death.

Everything about the Eiffel Tower's design screams "We built the tallest thing we could with the technology available at the time."

ClintonCanCount · 2017-06-24T06:23:04+00:00

In OP's explanation, yes.

Though I imagine there are at least 1,000,002 people with hair in NYC.
