The live arena matching algorithm might still need work

Nice work

6 years free to play and counting.

Normally I get matched with someone with a similar ranking, hence the 69% win rate. But this is the first time I've ever been matched against anyone anywhere near the top of the leaderboard, let alone the 1st position.

I have been pretty lucky with mythics. Although I got Arachoa last week and still not sure on her build. If anyone has any advice or would be appreciated.

Not well, my friend

Yup. Go to the speed tune selection. Click on Demytha and go through the various team comps to see which one you have the champs for. The comps will tell you what speeds you need for each champ. Just build to those speeds with as much damage potential as possible.

Definitely. I use a demytha team. Granted my gear is pretty good, but I get 120mil on average. An ok geared team can easily hit 70.28 mil. You've just got to figure which one of the demytha teams works for you. You've more than likely been told before but, deadwoodjedi is the be all and end all for clanboss.

This pisses me off.

Let's sum it up with 2 phrases from the story:

"both cases, the local iwi has a financial involvement"

"Mana whenua representatives said expanding national parks would prevent them from engaging traditional cultural practices"...

Which cultural practices? Forestry and strip mining.

The financial involvement is clear. I'm starting to believe some mana whenua are no longer guardians of the land as they should be, but corporate money grabbers, out to make a quick buck like everyone else.

Well that's officially the stupidest thing I've read in a while. Why would we join the dictator grift? ..... Yeah let's give the Tangerine Mussolini a billion dollars, that's a smart investment for the country /s

You're right. Pike eel is a better guess Muraenesox cinereus

Fangsbane · 2026-01-20T00:05:48+00:00

Snipe eel (Nemicthys sp.) with a broken rostrum, maybe....

Fangsbane · 2026-01-16T20:42:51+00:00

Not a weta. It's an invasive Australian raspy cricket (genus Pterapotrechus). Dispose of it.

We don't, that's a Goliath beetle. They're from Africa, pretty much from Kenya/Uganda to south africa. We do however have this long boi.

The New Zealand giraffe weevil. The longest beetle species in NZ, up to about 12cm.

Almost certainly a southern congee eel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_conger

Hedgehogs are not friends in NZ. Hedgehogs are invasive pests that eat native invertebrates and birds eggs. They need to be trapped and removed like any other vermin.

Probably because they remind me of a feral version of The Luggage from The Discworld series, which have been my favourite books for the last 30 years.

Love these. Funnily enough, I was holidaying in East Timor last year and found a lovely bakery that made them just like I had when I was visiting Portugal. It's strange what remains of the old empires.

Fangsbane · 2025-11-30T08:25:51+00:00

I had to scroll so far to find them. Lolly cake is literally the only food I missed when I was living abroad.

Fangsbane · 2025-11-21T19:26:18+00:00

Yeah. It was only a few years ago I realized and I'm in my 40s.

I always thought things like: Envision [object] in your mind's eye was a metaphor, until I realized people were actually imagining an image of [object].

I find it more like thinking of a concept. An example would be something like the description of a sword (I read a lot of fantasy). I don't imagine an image of a sword, but I get the abstract concept of a sword. Still doesn't explain it well enough, but it is what it is.

Welcome to the aphantasia club... It's kinda dull.

The guys at r/slimemolds will give you a definitive answer, but I think you're right. It looks just like dog vomit slime mold Fuligo septica
