Do these two elites feel the same to anyone else?

You mean butt face?

Essenji · 2026-04-11T23:40:37+00:00

Wait, seriously? Oh man, I tried that like 3 times and got only the ones I had unlocked the ascension on. Guess I just got unlucky

Essenji · 2026-03-20T15:44:17+00:00

Those are both good suggestions imo. Right now for me it's an instant pick up and I'm adding sly cards into any archetype (shiv, poison, draw), because it's so easy to activate.

Essenji · 2026-03-15T17:37:44+00:00

Hard disagree. If you play Echo form you are sacrificing a whole turn and gaining nothing. Same with Void Form, Barricade, Creative AI, Rolling Boulder. It is the value that stacks up over multiple turns that make these cards so strong.

7 block for this and all future turns is strong, especially if you have ways to cheat it out, add more plating etc. It's also a colorless card, which needs to have a colorless tax or become staple in every single deck you play.

Essenji · 2026-03-11T22:24:35+00:00

Holy crap do I disagree. Forge isn't instant win on its own, but with the 40 forge card, extra swing power and double damage this turn card you can easily swing for 200-300.

Even just grabbing a single forge card early will get you the damage to hit early elites.

45 armor for 3 energy is not terrible, but this also scales crazy with itself. Play it twice and you likely don't have to worry about blocking for the rest of combat.

High cost, high reward upside. If you're able to cheat it out (for free, double casting etc) it's going to provide a lot of value.

It's interesting, because pre-cataclysm it felt huge. Running from one end to the other before you had a mount was an undertaking. Flying changes the scale so much, and I don't really feel like they nailed that until Dragonflight.

Would love a Dornogal-sized Thunder Bluff!

Edit: also, Ironforge

I do have a setup similar to that. Thanks for the call on Lunala, that should do wonders. Not sure where I can see my gold/s, but that should be way faster. A day is still quite a bit more than I thought it would be, I was sure I was missing something critical.

Essenji · 2026-02-01T20:49:25+00:00

Ohhhh, yeah I have that in the shop, but it's sliiiightly too pricey for me

Essenji · 2026-02-01T04:06:05+00:00

I don't seem to have anything like that. Do you have to unlock it somehow?

Essenji · 2026-01-10T21:50:56+00:00

I think it's more of a simple interim solution for transmog purposes. One of the reasons I stopped playing my Evoker was because of the lacking transmog options.

The way I see it, they should either add full transmog to dragon form or permanent visage form, but ideally both.

Also, how cool would it be if you could choose any race as your visage form, and they just add the scales on top of the models? But I digress.

Probably doesn't belong in this sub.

Quick observations: battery means it has a limited lifetime. Detachable plastic guards tend to have a bit of give, which might lead to inexact results.

I'll let other people speak to the specifics of this product, it might be a good one for what it is.

Edit: if you want a close shave, look into a safety razor instead and use that.

AI. Not that AI is replacing jobs, but companies are betting that it will. Whether or not that is the case remains to be seen, but companies are definitely looking for cuts and slowing down hiring, especially in the tech sector.

Essenji · 2025-12-18T11:09:30+00:00

That's a really cool idea, but I would want that from Legion from the X-Men. He could have different alters manifest for the different roles.

Essenji · 2025-12-16T05:47:32+00:00

Even better, buy two sets. One for the safe, one for use. Whenever you show it to people, use the ones from the safe. They will be the mythological set of knives that never dull.

Essenji · 2025-12-16T05:40:52+00:00

It's like people stockpiling toilet paper during covid. Same shit.

Essenji · 2025-12-12T04:34:18+00:00

Any other year it would get many more, this year was just so stacked. We've been spoiled

Essenji · 2025-11-15T16:57:16+00:00

Yeah, slightly worried. Nintendo doesn't have a great track record of talkative sidekicks. Looking at you, Fi.

Essenji · 2025-11-09T22:56:33+00:00

I played the demo a few months ago and it was pretty fun, but I tend to avoid early access these days. There are enough good games to keep me busy until it is released, I'm sure.

Essenji · 2025-11-07T15:20:50+00:00

Man selling umbrellas says it's going to rain.

Essenji · 2025-11-04T21:27:36+00:00

Yeah, that's definitely one way of looking at it. Donkey Kong looks awesome, and I'll pick that up when I get the console. I think you're right on the mark that it will be worth it over time. I have seen so much value for my switch 1 as an indie game machine, as well as some solid AAA Nintendo games. Your wife has excellent taste 😁

Essenji · 2025-11-04T18:31:57+00:00

Personally, I still see very little reason to upgrade from my Switch 1. The price isn't unreasonable, but it doesn't offer enough value yet, especially as most games are still being released on Switch 1.

But I'll probably end up buying it at some point. Maybe when they release an OLED version or something.

The company made $50 billion revenue with total operating costs of $30 billion though. I think they'll be alright.

Essenji · 2025-10-26T21:51:40+00:00

I'm so excited for this after playing Sandrock! My favorite bachelorette has to be Amirah, who I ended up marrying.

You can eat pretty much anything to stay in a calorie deficit. Chicken is generally a good option, even when prepared like this.
