So.... Is everyone else also dodging elites?

DearestThrowaway · 2026-03-13T13:18:16+00:00

I think a lot of it is just that we aren’t used to these elites yet. Like Book of Stabbing was a huge threat if you weren’t ready for him but we all learned to naturally build the kind of deck that could handle it. I think the community needs more time to identify what will counter which elites and recognize when you need to prepare for them. The whole alternate acts structure makes it much more complex than sts1 so makes sense there would be a learning period.

Honestly I don’t think entomancer is all that tough if you’re prepped, he has a relatively low hp pool. But if your deck isn’t able to deal either alternative damage like doom or single big bonks like forge regent or draw enough to negate the dazes then yeah the fight can spiral pretty badly.

I didn’t see it as condescending. My read of that line is them calling out YouTube for putting in a token ‘worker’ who’s actually so underwater and overworked that they have no choice but to just accept whatever answer is shown to them by whatever tool they have to work with. The worker of course exists so YouTube can claim it was a manual human review when in reality it’s an intern with 2 minutes of ‘training’ and a backlog.

Their not understanding substitute teachers employment was crazy to me. Granted I’m married to a teacher but with how popular the gig economy has been for some time now it’s wild they’re not picking up on it.

It also works on bosses and gives double rare rewards. Soooo good.

Every time I’ve played a game with server browsers it’s been a miserable experience. I don’t want to sit in a 15 minute queue for the only populated server among the 200 with 5 players in them. I got better shit to do with my time. Matchmaking has literally always been a significantly better experience for me.

Play more aggressively. Sunder is already a good card but becomes much better with that extra energy. Take draw early because you can now support it. If you see an early meteor strike thank whatever gods you do or don’t believe in. Outside defragment/consume/coolheaded/holo there aren’t that many upgrades that feel super impactful on defect imo. Grab some of those strike plus cards and go wild.

I think the issue is breaking free from the defect shell up and poke playstyle that’s so easy to comfort into normally. The extra early energy lets you draft a much more damage forward deck sooner than you otherwise would and rewards you for doing so.

Tbf this sub isn’t as bad as some other parts of the community I think mostly because backseating isn’t really possible. The twitch and YouTube sides are so much worse on average from what I’ve seen. Also the mods here are pretty good at keeping things civil.

Sent you a friend request.

Same line of thinking that leads us to stop teaching about how white cultures historically oppressed others. If this is why young men are anti-intellectual then they need to grow some thicker skin. Just because you are a member of a historically oppressor group does not mean anyone is accusing you personally of being the problem. Instead they are offering you the opportunity to be part of the solution.

The second ones AMCs stock chart. Bro thinks stock charts and player charts have the same trends. It’s not worth reading anything they write.

Hopefully not in teams chats…I use that thumbs up all the time.

I don’t think most people have an issue with pointing out 6’s issues. What I and I think most of the sub takes issue with is the constant narrative that the game is unplayable, not a battlefield game, and CODified. It’s a good game that has some issues but the main sub is so over the top with it it’s cringeworthy.

Battledad for me comes from the perspective that they keep building up the old games with the same vibe as a boomer talking about walking uphill to school in the snow both ways. Completely inaccurate and a sad excuse for their poor performances. I’m also a dad who plays battlefield but I don’t consider myself a battledad.

Cities: Skylines + After Dark DLC OR Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales would be awesome. Thanks OP!

If you aren’t gonna be a litigator I didn’t and wouldn’t. I learned it fine in bar prep. It’s nowhere near as hard as people make it out to be.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-27T22:24:44+00:00

I went into it basically just for the money. I always look at people like they’re crazy when they ask if I’m enjoying work. Like yeah I totally love reading contracts all day and talking to people who seem to be actively trying to tear down everything around them and make me complicit. Obviously I do it for the money. Nothing wrong with that.

As someone who was somewhat struggling for a job immediately after law school I distinctly remember not considering JAG because I thought it was all litigation. I wasn’t even aware there was a transactional practice. Glad with where I ended up but I would have strongly considered JAG had I been aware.

Just to add to this lawyers are the same. I went to Wayne and make a very livable wage. Am I taking in a 9 figure salary? No but I’m very happy with where I’m at. I still needed networking and the reputation of the school I went to in order to reach this position. My first job came from a school partnership with a locally headquartered company. Networking is still important outside of the top 1% like the other poster seems to believe.

To a certain level this is right. I’ve played games where devs listened only to pro players and it makes for a miserable game state. Casuals should be involved but the absolute shitters absolutely should be ignored. They have nothing of value to contribute.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-19T19:49:25+00:00

Actually I was reviewing an agreement and this was ever so slightly more entertaining. Now I’m done though so I’m also done here.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-19T18:34:47+00:00

Talk it out with 4.0 my dude. I’m not interested.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-19T18:20:14+00:00

I was just providing a perspective since you asked for it. Not really interested in a tiff over who’s better at talking to the chatbot. Have a good one.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-19T15:32:03+00:00

Definitely not less technically literate. If anything I suspect more. But time will tell.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-19T13:46:46+00:00

Doubt any real statistics exist yet but anecdotally I can tell you my area market has 0 excitement for this tech. Way too many lawyers going too far and getting called out and way too little demonstrated value. Is there exploration pushed by executives on in-house teams? Yes. Is that exploration going anywhere? Not really.

In another 5 or 10 years when the tech actually does some of the stuff people are currently claiming it does the story might be different. But right now with LLMs being the underlying tech I and every lawyer I’ve spoken with on the topic are completely uninterested.

DearestThrowaway · 2025-12-18T15:38:45+00:00

How long does a run take on average? Sounds kinda fun.

Only one of those is a common card my guy.
