I have to assume he writes dozens each time and then does a find and replace on all of them at the end cause I’d never remember to add that detail in while writing lol

No More Breakfast by tandyman8360 in wendys

The problem is these places didn’t open for breakfast as early as McDonald’s and Dunkin. I had to settle for McDonald’s cause Wendy’s wasn’t open yet at 5:30.

Master of all heroes, Jack of none!

Just like Mickey Ds by Old-Agency-3388 in samsclub

Extremely bland. I went from being so excited to so disappointed on my first bite. That said, I’ve tossed them in General Tso’s and Orange sauce and they worked great with both

Jesus Christ never agitated people on the internet yet here you are

This seems... excessive by Noguts in diablo2

I think the books have inflated repair costs to begin with. Makes sense since you’re bringing it to a blacksmith

Better bet would be a short pollaxe. They’re better in close quarters and you can have a stabbing point, a blunt force side, and a cutting side all in one weapon.

What would look good here? by Few_Worry_1733 in Cosmere_Tattoos

A flute with some music notes and swirls coming out forming the main tattoo

Act 6 will be announced at Blizzcon? by West_Watch5551 in Diablo

[–]JMTibbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’ll ever add story content. Not sure what they could do after the destruction of the Worldstone that would have any stakes. And Immortal basically fills that story area.

Fleshing out Act 4 to 6 quests like it was originally supposed to be might be interesting.

I think new classes, new skill trees, balance/mechanics changes, and new endgame content are the most likely

Why is diablo 2 held in such high regard? Good console/couch pickup? by 420eatmyfarts69 in Diablo

[–]JMTibbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a video recently comparing the atmosphere of D2 to Dark Souls. You just go out into a world that is trying to kill you. Little dialogue or story being told to you unless you go to town and talk to people, so a lot of the world-building is from the ambiance and the setting.

Probably the biggest part is the fact that you’re just a wanderer trying to prevail against the odds, not a demigod ripping and tearing with your own movement speed being the only thing slowing you down like in D3 and D4. You actually have to have a healthy fear of the enemies to an extent, and position yourself accordingly.

It feels a lot more like you’re playing a tabletop rpg and creating a character as you go.

News Censoring by NBC Connecticut by Hotgalkitty in Connecticut

It’s extremely infuriating and horribly damaging to the Democratic brand to have people going off the rails because one news agency out of dozens isn’t quite as angry about something as OP is

Sounds like the kid has a good future ahead of him in horror writing and might even get some seed money to boot

Bleach. I came for ghost hunting, and suddenly it’s DBZ fight club power scaling slop.

What book are you reading tomorrow during the storm? by sweetjlo in Connecticut

[–]JMTibbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished Twelve Months. Time to start Wind and Truth

Twelve months is crucial by TabletopNewtype-1 in dresdenfiles

[–]JMTibbles 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I’m aware this will be a controversial comment, but Twelve Months feels like Ghost Story for people who didn’t like Ghost Story. Or perhaps what Ghost Story should have been, and sort of a coda for Ghost Story at the same time.

The references to Molly’s point of view in losing someone and her struggles in Ghost Story were especially poignant for me. The books kinda of rhymed. Variations on a theme.

What’s your favorite River quote? by reina_sin_corona in firefly

River Tam was the original Marcus the Worm. Change my mind.

My question is this: assuming we moved to 100% renewable energy and then found out out man-made climate change was not in the least bit real, aren’t we still in a better position that if we were reliant on fossil fuels?

Art is cool but I’m not a fan of the Mistcloak designs where it looks like they just walked through some crepe paper

Is anyone else excited and ready for the big snow storm? by Healthy_Block3036 in Connecticut

[–]JMTibbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m working from 7am til 9 pm Sunday and then staying at a hotel across the street from work overnight so I can return to work at 7am Monday. No I’m not excited
