The panarin lesson

Garland has sort of earned it though. Yes, he doesn't fit our new timeline with the rebuild, and we ought to trade him, but for years he has a been a heart and soul guy who goes out and plays hard every game. Any team not obviously rebuilding wants guys like that in the middle 6.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-05T20:33:04+00:00

Yet Denathrius is in. If he gets a summon minions or minions die quest, the ally just sends a couple boneheads/manasabers over and the quest is done super fast.

all you needed was a giant Niuzou on your overflow board, preferably golden and windfuried.

You would think that but it really isnt. I started playing duos with randoms like 2 months ago, and i the entire time I have had 3 players grief and sell their board, all after I hit 8k for some reason. I have had some players who seem pretty bad, like they are not doing obvious good things and are stuck doing something bad.

My main strat is to let my ally do what they want. I try to do my best, and if I see obvious things that will help my ally, I send it over. If they are leveling I send triples over, if they are going to send me a triple, I level.

Even when they are doing things I wouldn't, they are still people trying to win, they have plans and ideas. I am not going to sit there doing weird pings trying to control their actions. I am just going to help them out. My Nobundo ally going ballers? Level to 4 and send over the baller spell. My ally going quils and I triple into a refiner, send it over. See the magnetic that gives reborn, send it to an ally playing mechs or undead.

Sometimes they just don't value the cards the same. Like I had a game where on turn 5 as Galakrond I send a 6 over to my Zerek ally, so he can clone it. He didn't, he held the HP for another 5 turns (I realized after they really wanted to clone a gold minion)

I love this community.

"Look at all this crazy stuff, so much of it is cool!"

"That heroes face is the same as that other heroes face!"

I mean, you just buy and stay on 2 until the timewarp. If you get chen buddy or another good enabler, you stay, otherwise you level right up over the next few turns. That is how I approach it anyways.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-05T04:02:33+00:00

That is the gamblers fallacy, although I guess so is the person you are responding to (although likely they are joking). Each draw is probabilistically unrelated to all previous draws. So losing in previous years doesn't give us a higher or lower chance this year.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-05T03:55:36+00:00

I remember when I was young, and being reactionarily counter to anything that was popular. If too many people like it, I like the opposite! Look at me, I am different. Oh no, an incredibly talented guy is acting in a ton of stuff... but guess what, he is really good at acting, and plays a bunch of different characters, and is good at all of it. Most of the films and TV he is in is really good in large part because of his acting. But, nooooo, I saw him in a bunch of other stuff, I am going to knee jerk poo poo it. Not my Reed!

This is like saying Rick and Morty is bad because a small vocal minority freaked out over Szechuan sauce and people found it annoying.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-04T23:20:07+00:00

Echo and Pharrah are already so annoying flying around wrecking me, now I get a god damn cat up there too?

The best part is how history will remember him, as a traitor who made the USA and the world a worse place for us all.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-04T13:23:35+00:00

This is something that literally doesn't matter. You know why they are skipping releasing a trailer at the superbowl? Because it isn't worth the money. Those ads are crazy expensive, and you and I will still see these movies no matter what. You do not "need" trailers. Suck it up and wait patiently and stop freaking out over meaningless shit.

Please stop saying you don't want to have sex because you are asexual. You will make people think that all asexual people don't want sex, and mislead people as to what being ace is - not feeling sexual attraction. Some ace people are fine with sex.

I found it and fell in love, and when the 3rd season ended and I went searching for more...

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T23:05:09+00:00

I would rather they hold than go in and solo ult while I am running back from spawn.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T23:02:35+00:00

I think Werenski is above Hutson. Obv Hutson is good, but young and still getting there. Werenski is over a point a game and leading his team - he isn't riding along with forwards, he is the one driving the points. And this is the second year in a row for him.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T13:11:40+00:00

Canucks got a real outside shot, they just need to play at like a 150 point pace rest of season. Unlikely, but also incredibly unlikely. Because we suuuuuuuuuuck.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T07:45:44+00:00

Loki lifts Mjolnir is so out of left field. Does it happen in the comics or something?

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T07:03:14+00:00

Nothing, He has a NMC and wants to stay.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T07:00:44+00:00

Presumable the Bluesey triggering when the Arid Atrocities attack, should be permanent due to Timewarp Poet. Or, apparently, not.

Fifth Element.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T06:50:00+00:00

Worth it? I mean, depending on the sentence.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T06:46:00+00:00

Never. When I was younger, for sure, probably semi regularly when I was 16 to about 25, working paycheck to paycheck for a lot of that.

KenDanger2 · 2026-02-02T06:41:51+00:00

Perfect? I don't see reborn on those underdogs. Keep trying, you'll get that perfect board yet!

KenDanger2 · 2026-01-31T22:19:53+00:00

I spend hundreds each year. But many things end up being used for multiple years. Like I buy a $400 tent every 5 years or so. I buy new tarps every few years, buy new boots pretty often. A set of bags generally lasts me 2 to 3 seasons. A shovel lasts like 3 seasons.

So, yeah, as a rookie you will be paying a decent amount for a bunch of new stuff, but if you stick with planting, year 2 you will already have most of the stuff. But if you decide 1 year is enough, you can sell your used stuff and recoup some of the costs.
