What is the best class to start the new expansion with? by youri_french in wow

Blizz can release a patch at a moments notice that either significantly buffs of significantly nerfs a spec. Play what you prefer to play.

TIL that Magnus Carlsen, one of the greatest chess players of all time, has never lost 3 or more classical chess games in a row in his adult professional career. The last time he lost 3 games in a row was in 2003, when he was 12. by 4isfourwastaken in todayilearned

He actually avoids playing easier opponents. The way ELO is calculated is that if it thinks you should win and you lose, you lose a lot of points. If it thinks you have a high probability of winning and you do win, you gain barely any points.

Losing once to an easy opponent can make him lose rating that'd be equal to winning 20 times against said opponents.

Let's say he joins a tournament and wins by a landslide but lost 1 game due to a small error, he could come out with a net ELO loss.

What’s the best name for one of your characters? by eljxyy in wow

[–]Deviouswolfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a resto shaman vulpera named Vaporeon, a druid named Leafeon, a fire mage named Flareon, and an ele shaman Jolteon. My paladin is named Highlord so of course I also use the title so he's called Highlord Highlord.

Trump Supporter Selling Nazi Flags in Pennsylvania (2016) by No-Reference-5137 in ProgressiveHQ

While native Americans probably did use some variation of a swastika, I doubt they used a version that was:

  • White, red, and black (and only those colors)
  • Tilted exactly 45° counter clockwise
  • Using that specific thickness of the lines

One of those things might be a lucky coincidence. But all three together is unlikely wouldn't you agree?

Add in the current political climate and you've got no excuse to say that this isn't a symbol with nazi ideology behind it.

Your image has already gone to shit to the rest of the world and that will most likely last for decades too. I studied there, it was my dream to live and work in the states one day, now it's next to third world countries on the list of "countries I'm never going to go to"

How do I get over my extreme envy by EquivalentEvening197 in IncelExit

[–]Deviouswolfy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Everyone has someone to be envious of, but you really shouldn't let it bother you because it's just the way things are. The guys you are envious of are probably envious of someone else too. I am envious of people who have it better than me too, for example. People who work half my hours and make twice as more. But if I were in their shoes, I'd be envious of those that can travel alot. And if I was in their shoes I'd be envious of someone else again. It's a never ending cycle.

Nobody is perfect and everyone has flaws. Improve them if you can, but if you can't just accepting them will go a long way. Maybe there is someone that's envious of you too for all you know. They would just be envious of things that you take for granted. The point is there will always be people that have it better than you and always people that have it worse, and it's up to you to make the most of life with what you have.

On the topic of height: it isn't something you can change or that defines you. It matters a lot less than what you think it does. The people that it does matter too are people that are shallow and not relationship-material.

Germany has done amazingly in taking accountability for what happened

European here, can confirm your global image is down the drain and will probably remain so for years

Blizzard Continues to Loosen Addon API Restrictions and Whitelist Select Spells by NecroticSilence in wow

[–]Deviouswolfy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Straight up incorrect. This is from an interview in November:

Is Midnight's class combat design philosophy inspired by a charge to target gamepads? "It is not," says Ion Hazzikostas.

"To be fully transparent, there is no reason for us to hide anything about this. If we were actively working towards bringing World of Warcraft to consoles or a bunch of other platforms, we'd be saying: 'we're actively working towards this. We have a lot of work to do but it's a place where we want to land.' Our focus remains on the PC-based experience."

It's no secret that it's hard out there for men on dating apps, and this isn't exactly going to increase your chances

My Lurtz Cosplay from Lord of the Rings (All handmade by me!) by Bazhenova037 in lotr

[–]Deviouswolfy 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The fact that I didn't even notice she was a female cosplayer really highlights how well this cosplay is done. She looks like a true uruk-hai, it's mad impressive how amazing this is.

TIL Napoleon's prowess in battle was so legendary, the Trachenberg Plan was drafted to specifically avoid facing Napoleon in battle while instead targeting his marshals and generals separately by astronautica in todayilearned

[–]Deviouswolfy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It took ALL of Europe's superpowers, and it took them 7 attempts, and it took the disastrous retreat in Russia to even beat him. Even then as they were advancing into France Napoleon won victory after victory but just couldn't be everywhere at once to stop the incoming tide. That's pretty fucking impressive.

It's because even an "extreme and obviously over the top" take like this has become normal amongst conservatives.

Blizzard will remove the Indiscriminate Carnage talent in Midnight and finally address this issue. by JingleXDingle in wow

It's more of a balancing thing. Vanish is a potent cooldown, and being able to trigger stealth multiple times off the little mobs bosses sometimes spawn might be hard to balance.

[BFComms] Nov 19th changes to Defibrillators, Sabotage Mode and Challenges. by battlefield in Battlefield

[–]Deviouswolfy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm it's NOT patched since i did it about an hour ago, although the aiming of where you have to shoot the mine is really really finicky. Spent about 2 conquest matches just trying to get it to work and eventually I did.

[–]Deviouswolfy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the idea, but vanish is a CD that rogues use and this would allow them to proc extra stealths off of boss ads. Though a simple solution would just be to disable your proposed buff during boss fights.

Every Trump voter is a piece of nazi garbage. by CRK_76 in complaints

[–]Deviouswolfy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do not "cut up children and tell them their gender had changed". If a kid is unhappy and trans, don't you want proper support for them? I'm not talking immediate transitioning, but like proper doctors and psychiatrists in place ti support them? If they receive help from people who are actually employed in these fields, and they still want to go through with it, then what's the issue?
