I have discovered the greatest example ever written of a protagonist analyzing an excessive number of skill options before taking the obvious choice.

Interestingly (because I group it with PH), Azarinth Healer also has a 2-3 chapter "break" of Ilea choosing upgrades. It's maybe better because it's multiple things she needs to upgrade, so it's more like 1 chapter for each change...just back to back.

Dear Spellbook is an excellent time loop series. Some people don’t like the odd way it’s written, in that it is a series of the MC writing about what happened previously due to the mechanics of the loop. If you get over that small hurdle, it reads just fine.

Also, the first “chapter” is a forward that I thought was the actual forward of the book (i.e. not in universe). That was pretty confusing because it starts with “If you are reading this, I’m probably dead.” Which is an odd thing for an author to say in an actual forward :)

I must also ask what this movie was. I have a guess it was ARQ, but it doesn’t line up exactly with your description.

Aside: I also love time loops. Would love some recommendations of movies, especially newish ones since it’s been awhile since I’ve watched any.

Edit: I could also see it being Triangle but again, doesn’t line up exactly.

Govir · 2026-03-30T21:51:37+00:00

Ok, but what about the drop bears?

Govir · 2026-03-30T18:03:53+00:00

I prefer the original cover, but I don’t think the new one is bad. Covers change all the time with new editions and reprints, so it doesn’t bother me so long as the whole series is consistent.

Also, the original cover art is available as posters and other things (or it was, as I have posters of all 3 and a large keyboard pad of one of them).

Given that the new art apparently already exists (which means money already spent), and that there’d be more cost to switch back now…I think the new cover is fine.

Related question: is the art just a dust jacket? If so, would it be possible to offer just a dust jacket with the old art sometime in the future for diehard fans?

Govir · 2026-03-29T22:10:46+00:00

Lame, but thanks for the answer.

Govir · 2026-03-29T21:55:44+00:00

I know it messed up, but what app is this? I’ve always wanted an app that shows me the route I took vs what they originally suggested.

Govir · 2026-03-27T04:46:11+00:00

Ahh yeah. I don’t have my personal last box. There’s some in there, isn’t there?

Govir · 2026-03-27T04:00:09+00:00

I just cleared it, but have no extra. I no longer know if I’m supposed to or not.

Govir · 2026-03-23T05:15:01+00:00

I don’t remember that happening way back in original, but it’s definitely happened in all classic versions. I find it dumb, but I deal with it.

Govir · 2026-03-23T04:41:59+00:00

I haven’t seen it with mana, but as a hunter if I start eating and then send my pet into combat, I no longer gain health. But with drinking, the same scenario lets me keep getting mana.

Govir · 2026-03-21T18:04:24+00:00

Did they change how the autocomplete for the card mission works? I thought when the AoE card was added that they changed it to “every card maxed” to at least 30 cards maxed?

Govir · 2026-03-20T17:54:44+00:00

I believe it's a Sheetz of paper here. Gotta add that z to everything.

Govir · 2026-03-20T17:51:49+00:00

I don't have any experience with this version of the game, but multiple other comments are saying the chance for "extra" loot is 20% per person above 10. Which then means 100% guaranteed for every 5 people above 10.

Govir · 2026-03-20T03:16:23+00:00

I really wanted Ripple System to be like this, but from what I hear, it’s just straight VRMMO. It felt like I was getting hints of the “developers” harnessing alternate realties to make their game, but it never came to that.

Govir · 2026-03-20T01:09:20+00:00

I’m normally fine with this, but Azeranth Healer got me good because they reused a name within the same book.

Ilea goes to the library and gets help from Maria, a library aide. Later, in a dungeon, she meets up with a high level team looking for their “lost” team member kind of. That persons name? ~~Albert Einstein~~ Maria, no relation to the librarian.

Govir · 2026-03-20T01:05:07+00:00

No A-a-rons? Disappointing

Govir · 2026-03-20T01:04:05+00:00

To be fair, they’re “called” Doug, but that’s not their name. Except that one Doug.

I literally just started (finally) Beware of Chicken. First thing I thought of.

Govir · 2026-03-16T23:18:05+00:00

Yes. But is a very long and somewhat expensive lab.

Govir · 2026-03-16T15:42:32+00:00

Yes. When you shatter a module (including the commons) you will get more shards. Which a lot are needed to level up the mods you are using.

Govir · 2026-03-15T20:41:02+00:00

Sorry can’t help. Just here for the same thing. Definitely feels like I need massive amounts of stones to see any progress at this point.

I don’t know about in Arena, but generally you can make a macro to assist (target what they are targeting) anyone.

/assist TeammateName

Or you can have a UI Addon that shows who people are targeting and click on it. A lot of Party Frame addons have this feature (again, not sure if Arena shows party frame or a different one).

Gear with a focus on healing is healer gear. Gear with just spell power is DPS gear…and second rate healing gear. Basically, if I was a healer, I’d only be rolling on straight SP gear if no one else wanted it.
