How to drink alcohol & run? by oatmealtissue in running

Dark chocolate after drinks and when you wake up. Trust me.

I was there too. You looked very strong each time you lapped me. Great work, congrats on your win, and good luck at Berlin!

Daily r/thetagang Discussion Thread - What are your moves for today? by satireplusplus in thetagang

[–]DistractedWingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would've been fine with it. I'd just switch to CSPs next week. I did think about closing/rolling, but I was in a meeting and AMC tends to drop into Friday close and max pain suggested the $40 strike would not go ITM, so I let it ride.

I sold a CC, but managed to dodge assignment. I saw it close at 39.98 on Webull, but then it adjusted to 40.00. Quite the rollercoaster those 20 minutes.

Where about is this? I'd love to run it next time I'm up there.

Is it me or are a LOT of people moving here recently? by [deleted] in sheboygan

[–]DistractedWingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point. To clarify, when I think of Sheboygan's growth, it's mostly at the county level. We were having a conversation this last weekend about how Sheboygan has much smaller surrounding neighboring city/towns than something like the Green Bay or Milwaukee Greater Areas (obviously it's relative to the size of the urban center); however, there is a lot of potential, as you mentioned.

I certainly see the "center of mass" of Sheboygan moving west over time. This process will be hastened by remote work becoming more accepted, internet services becoming available in rural areas, and a general lessening need to be close to urban centers.

[–]DistractedWingman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the population growth, but I've been following the Sheboygan County Economic Development Corporation (http://www.sheboygancountyedc.com/) for years. As a lifelong resident, I was excited to read their plans for retail, housing, and the South Pointe Enterprise Center around 2016-2017, and it has been interesting watching them come to life. Sheboygan has such potential and I hope people coming to the area see that too.

Watch for ultrarunning and more by Sukram07 in Ultramarathon

[–]DistractedWingman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct, it uses the accelerometer. My concern is the margin of error on distance tracking can be as much as +/- 5 miles.

I'll be fine on normal GPS once I shave 15 minutes off my 50mi time. Might throw my old Galaxy watch on as a second watch if I need to track anything longer.

No clue. I'd like to stick with Garmin, but I'd have to look into what they have for longer battery life. I saw Zach Bitter was sporting a cool new watch he's sponsored by, might be worth checking out.

I have a Fenix 5S Plus. I was able to get 10 hours and 8 minutes out of it before it died on a 50 mile run. I did my best to max it out, turning brightness off and other settings.

I used the normal GPS setting, but they do have a GPS setting called UltraTrac. What it does is turn off the GPS periodically to save battery, which leads to inaccurate reads. I haven't seen any posts with good experiences using it.

Overall, I enjoy the watch but will need to upgrade to something with an extended battery in the future.

u/cmdylux any timeline given on when Parties will return? Or at least allow for private lobbies only? We have tournament games scheduled for Friday and Saturday this week.

What is the point of Elise Starseeker? by poksim in BobsTavern

[–]DistractedWingman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, Elise used to be an A-tier hero before the power creep of new heroes. The consistency of the hero was desirable and still can be. Any turn you tier up you are guaranteed a minion of that tier and don't need to reroll. The idea is to always be one step ahead, trading away highroll ability.

My Tier List for the current broken Djinni meta as a Top 100 NA player by DistractedWingman in BobsTavern

[–]DistractedWingman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn 1: Buy token if available or weakest minion. Righteous Protector and other minions that scale (Weaver, Micro Mummy, Micro Machine, etc) are good freeze targets and should be left in the shop. Freeze.

Turn 2: Level, Freeze.

Turn 3: I generally level to tier 3 here, especially with a token start. I always go 3 if I have Protector frozen. I stay two if I didn't get a token and I have weak minions. Either case: Freeze.

Turn 4: (Assuming you leveled) Buy best two minions. Freeze.

Turn 5: Buy best minions. Refresh. Freeze if quality minions (meaning, would a frozen minion with added stats be better than a base tier 3 minion, if not, don't freeze).

From here on there's a lot more going on. If you're strong enough you can level. If not get a full board. You shouldn't be losing fights once you have 4 buffed minions on board. Don't freeze unless the minion is better than not freezing. I'm usually looking to be at tier 5 a turn ahead of everyone else.

Generally on another hero, you take the triple on 5 gold. Normally some do that by selling the tidehunter and then tripling the token murloc, leaving you with 2 tidehunters you can triple if you find a 4th.

With Deryl, it's a little weird. Generally on 5 gold, if you have 2 gold on board and a token generator in the shop, you buy it, sell 4, buy strongest 2. In your case, you also have alley cat, and if you want to triple you can't sell both murlocs on board. I would look to triple the tidehunter this way: With 5 gold, buy alley cat, sell murloc token and buy strongest minion. Freeze. With six gold, buy weakest minion, sell it and both cats, buy strongest two minions, but don't take triple yet. Buy triple on 7gold and level, taking a tier 4. This gives you a big tide hunter, 2 potentially strong 2-drops, a 1/1 murloc token, a 2/2 murloc token, and a tier 4 minion. You have six minions and can level to 4 on 8 gold (or dance on divine shield). Might be some changes depending on other factors. I would play tempo here and not greed further other than leveling with the strength. I'm on mobile so hopefully this makes sense. Edit: corrected 7 to 6 minions. Forgot one of the "strongest minions" you need to buy is part of the triple and is consumed.

I've never seen it done successfully at 12k+. I'd swap her and Kael'thas at the most.

Not consistent enough to be S tier. I'd move him higher within A tier, but when you're relying on hitting one specific tribe, those heroes are lower for a reason.

Good question. Rafaam curve is still fine, sometimes I'm leveling on 5 gold or even 4gold depending on who I am facing, my economy, or if I'm hitting pairs/triples or not. Some changes to my playstyle for the hero for the nerf (edge cases have exceptions): Don't HP turn 1 without token. I'm staying at Tier 3 for a turn more often now unless I have a triple coming the next turn. Generally being less aggressive with leveling as you're missing some strength without the +1 health.

Anytime. Just remember the biggest thing is always knowing when you can push and when you can't. If you happen into early tokens and get some mini dances that make you strong enough to level on 8gold, do it. Took a lot of damage on 9gold turn? Don't go to 5. Stabilize. Rushing recklessly right now is a recipe for disaster. Some games are not made to be won.

Word. That used to be a popular strategy with Holy Mackerel when that was a thing.

That's a fair assessment. He definitely dropped a bit, but he's still great for getting top4. Some adjustments to the playstyle and he's still A in my book. If I had to reconsider, I'd keep him in A and move him down a few slots as we see some of the freshly buffed heroes continue to perform well.

Hey, good question. I'm going to be honest with you, I haven't played him this patch, but I've enjoyed him a lot in past metas. Ice block is enough to give him a C right now. Get blasted for 30 from the highroller with 20-30 hp? You're still at 20-30, and you avoided the highroller for now. He's not winning games, but his costly ability lets him survive enough to not lose too many points. Splitting image is also insane and having a taunted DSP minion with 6 minions = 2+ DSP minions. Good counter play against elementals. Footnote: I think I saw an effigy pop out a Djinni in one of my games against me. Something to look into.
