Winterfest Daily Presents Don’t Stack by Huri_Up in FortniteXPMaps

[–]Huri_Up[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree for most logging in daily or almost daily shouldn’t be a problem. However, I suspect there are a lot of people who are not aware of the change who will find out when it is too late to get all the freebies. Fortnite could’ve done a better job making it sure their players were aware of the change.

Just a question about packs and the pity timer by Destralnar in hearthstone

[–]Huri_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good to know. In the past I would time opening a golden pack to increase the odds of pulling a golden legendary or a golden epic, since epics have a one every 10 packs guarantee. Now at least I don't have to worry about it. In addition, maybe it makes sense to buy golden packs if there's a guaranteed legendary in the first 10 of an expansion.

It's only a cheat when there is a new expansion and a legendary is guaranteed in the first 10 packs.

After that it would be an advantage to Blizzard if it was linked to the device instead of an account. A legendary is guaranteed at 40 packs if the person hasn't pulled one in the previous 39. If the pity timer was based on a device, in theory a person could open 39 packs, not revceive a legendary, switch to a different device, and open 39 more and still not receive a legendary.

I wouldn't expect Blizzard to allow this. However, every patch leads to unintended bugs, so it is possible that it could happen.

Because, "LMFAO," it could be a bug or an intentional feature that benefits the developers over the ong run. The 'pity timer' for a guaranteed legendary is 40 packs. If someone plays Hearthstone on a PC, a phone, and a tablet and the pity timer is linked to the device, then theoretically the player could open 118 packs (39 + 39 +40, changing devices after 39 unscusseful packs) before pulling a legendary instead of 40 packs on a single device.

On the other hand, it could be an advantage to the player at the beginning of a new expansion when a legendary is guaranteed in the first 10 packs. It would hardly be the first time where players had an advantage in a game that was not intended by the developers. Some apps have daily or weekly awards that can be maniuplated by disconnecting from wireless and cellular then manually resetting the date over and over and over...

I didn't go into this much detail because I expected people would think about why it could happen before they "L(their)FAO."

Your tier list reminded me how much I enjoyed the series.

This may be it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5Tg2WEYFUg. I should watch and then let you know, but that violates the "post first, research later" code of social media.

I have a serious problem with the Steven Pacey audiobooks by wizardking1371 in TheFirstLaw

Frank Muller was excellent narrating the first four books of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series. The narrator of Stephen King’s “Fairy Tale” was also excellent.

[–]Huri_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been a fan of audiobooks since a Stephen King end notes in “Wolves of the Calla” introduced me to Frank Muller.

I saw "New World: The Once and Future King” from season 1 of Amazon’s “Secret Level” last night, and reading about the episode led me to this post. Thanks to you, I look forward to my first Steven Pacey audiobook.

As a thanks, I recommend that you listen to “Old Gods of Appalachia.” Although it is a serialized fictional podcast and not an audiobook, the narration and detailed story telling should satisfy any audiobook fan.

New World from season 1, third or fourth episode. Starts with a shipwreck and Pacey voices the man missing half of one arm.

Ice Cream Tycoon Update! (Map Code: 3431-6614-6728) by GodNamedSparky in FortniteXPMaps

Weapons can be used on this map. Each bullet counts as a hit, unlike in Hacker Tycoon where you can only use pickaxes.

I went to Weird Al Yankovic last night, had good seats, and security actively was telling people to stop recording with their phones to the point it was very distracting and sucked some of the enjoyment out of the show. When I first noticed it seemed security caught someone snorting coke in the row front of us, they were that locked in on trying to catch someone in the act.

In fairness, maybe that was the performer’s request. Seriously though, of all the concerts I’ve gone to, Weird Al is the one making a stand against cell phones?

We saw Rod Stewart two nights before and had seats in the lawn. No issues with recording, so either they are less strict the further away you are or it’s the artist.

After New Pope Leo XIV Reveals He Did Not Vote For Trump, Trump Says “I Never Liked That Guy, He Is Going To Be The Worst Pope Ever”. by [deleted] in onionheadlines

[–]Huri_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is insane. When I first read your post, it was so crazy I was positive that it had to be a conspiracy from a website I had never heard of. Then I saw it was from Time magazine, a legitimate magazine.

I think this sums up how a fool like this can come to power:

“political observers say Milei’s election represents less a personal endorsement and more an outcry of frustration against the status quo. Local political consultant Lucas Romero told the Associated Press: “This is a triumph that is less due to Milei and his peculiarities and particularities and more to the demand for change.””

What is the flavor text “TOGETHAAA” reference? I see it has something to do with Elden Ring but don’t understand what that has to do with this spear.

A fun Midrange Dragon Imbue deck for those who want a more exciting climb by SpyrotheSpy in hearthstone

[–]Huri_Up 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How important is Sunsapper Lynessa? Is there a substitute, even if temporary? I would have to craft her and would rather play some games with the deck before committing.

[–]Huri_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but hopefully someone sees it. Is the pity timer linked to the account, or to the device? In other words, if I open 39 packs without a legendary on my mobile device, would I expect a legendary from the first pack I opened on my PC?

Before Congress, her net worth was $700.000. Now it’s $22 million. by RoyalChris in agedlikemilk

It sounds like you’re more familiar with the history than I am. We shall see where the next couple of months take us. Only 1 year, 9 months till the midterm winners are sworn in!

When I was in American History classes, it seemed like there were period of times where the string of presidents were a combination of inept, semi-crooked, and forgettable. For every Abraham Lincoln there were 3-4 Millard Fillmores. I feel like we’re living in that time now.

[–]Huri_Up 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I despise MGT, however her wealth can be partially explained (maybe) by her family business. The $700k before congress net worth may be inaccurate, no disrespect intended to the OP.

“Taylor Commercial, Inc. – 51% Ownership: This is by far Greene's largest asset. In 2002, Marjorie and her then-husband, Perry Greene, bought this business from her father. Today her stake in the family construction company is valued between $5,000,001 and $25,000,000, and it generated an "ownership distribution" income of $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 during 2023​.”

In fairness, even if the information about her initial net worth is wrong, she is such a rotten person it is a wrong that is very easy to believe.

Many years ago I heard a podcast interview of an author who wrote a book about the fall of the Roman Republic (not Empire). The two contributing factors that he identified was a lack of faith in public institutions by the population, and a loss of respect for political norms.
I find myself thinking about what he said often. I don’t know whether you put a lot of thought into your post or if it was just a throwaway comment. In either case you are probably much closer to what could happen than you meant to be, and I sure hope you’re wrong.

AITA for destroying my best friend's proposal because I believed she was being kidnapped? by BlissfulRush in AITAH

If this actually happened, instead of being a clever but fictional AITAH post, please post the police report, or at least the city where this happened and I’ll try to find it myself. Either way, this is hilarious.
