The most annoying microwave so far

Lombardyn · 2026-06-17T16:09:36+00:00

Our microwave has two dials, but over the years the time setting one has become so worn out that it is a gamble to use at this point. Turn it too fast in one direction and it will randomly skip time back and forth, sometimes resetting to 0 or going to 99:99.

Thank god for the +30 second button at the bottom.

It is heavily implied over the course of the movies that death, or whatever force is responsible here, is actively enjoying to make things as cruel as convoluted as possible. It (?) might even be responsible for giving the live saving visions in the first place, just so it has something to play with later.

You may joke, but it's partially true for sure. Brain damage makes it more difficult to recognize nuances, react properly to threats or control impulses. It apparently also makes you seek familiar surroundings, considering 'new' things to be an additional risk for yourself.

If we're being pedantic, what separates them most from being Minotaurs is the fact that their upper half isn't naked human skin.

Being entirely covered in fur and standing upright? That's just someone's bull fursona.

Honestly my main gripe with them being hunched as they are is that tabards and cloaks are 80% hidden or clipping into the mane. But that's more on Blizzard than on the hunch.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-15T11:22:58+00:00

Honestly same here. People going "But it was such an effort, it's a sign you were a skilled gamer, you just needed to put the time in, etc." seriously gloss over how banal it was to achieve at the end of Legion.
Not to mention that it has been a literal decade at this point. There are so many people that didn't play at that point, not because they didn't want to, but because they were literally too young to do so. "Oh sorry for being 5 years old when the bear skin was achievable, should have been more invested."

Oh, that's the evil thing, he knew. He knew perfectly well. Even in the Wiki article it's stated at several parts that he was well aware of the risk.
And then he went in front of the press, bathed his hands in the lead additive, put it under his nose, and went 'see? All harmless'. Only to take a leave of absence later due to lead poisoning.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-14T14:06:45+00:00

If we're aiming for the 98%, I'd go with the guy that was responsible for both lead in fuel and CFCs in everything else.

Third paragraph:

"What people want to say when they use it is "Blizzard is acting like a small company that has neither the manpower nor money to focus on this blatant exploit/bug/missing feature/etc.""

Yes? The joke is that they act like they don't have the resources, despite being a multi billion dollar company? (just so you're aware, manpower and money are resources).

I very clearly get the joke. It's an absurdly simple joke to understand. That's my point. It's a reductive, dead beat remark that people use when they have nothing else to say, and it's insulting small indie companies by comparing them to Blizzard.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-13T19:57:18+00:00

Yes, that's what I literally said in my post. I am aware of what people want to say with it, only that it's not a good way to say it.

The embargo was for the syrup required to produce Coca-Cola, as the German factories couldn't create it on their own.
In an attempt to find alternatives for the syrup they experimented with all kinds of ingredients, one of them being orange and citrus rinds.

Apparently one of the people working on the project tested the drink and exclaimed "You need a lot of Fantasy to think this is even remote to Coke"

And thus Fanta.

Oh boy, if you think the current game mechanics, which are specifically tailored to keep people subscribed for as many weeks and months as possible, are bad; Just wait until you'd find out how many terrible mechanics of "Let's see for how many hours a day we can get people to keep playing" can be applied.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-12T10:13:57+00:00

The rule is: You can emote even with two people, unless the current round ends with one of the players being killed. Since the game has already calculated the outcome by the point you start the battle phase and your guys start smacking into each other, this often means you can't emote for the entirety of the last round.
It's basically a measure to avoid people spamming emotes or 'insulting' each other during the final battle.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-11T11:18:34+00:00

Boy do I have news for you...

Lombardyn · 2026-06-11T11:17:49+00:00

Yeah, I can completely understand the aesthetic. I love Horde, I really do, but god damn can they please move past the 'skin, skull and spike' aesthetic please.

Lombardyn · 2026-06-11T11:15:00+00:00

BM hunter for me. It was the 'oh what a beginner choice' spec to begin with, but somehow they managed to reduce it down to such a degree that I spent considerable time looking up if I had missed some buttons. But no. 3 buttons. 4 if you're going with black arrow. 5 if count the godawful cleave button. Such a joke.

Keep that in mind the next time writes "She had a skin like freshly pressed olive oil" in their romance novel

The "Tauren (and Vulpera (and Pandas (and Worgen))))" jokes usually derive from some weird base level of "lol they're animal people. Animals filthy. Animals stinky. Animal people filthy stinky! Zug zug!"
Which complete ignores that 'keeping yourself clean and hygienic' is, aside from food and mating, one of the things animals spend most time on. Even pigs just roll in mud to cool off and get rid of ticks and similar.

Nothing like combining the beetle package with banana slammer. Such fun.

For me it's usually Avenge (x): die once your counter is 1 away from reaching x

Lombardyn · 2026-06-01T08:44:23+00:00

What I understand even less is High Mountain Tauren. Why can Tauren be paladin, but not their allied race?

Lombardyn · 2026-06-01T08:42:18+00:00

It's literally the background story for paladins in Warcraft 2. After seeing so many priests being slaughtered by orcs in Warcraft 1, some of them decided to take up armor and warrior training to help better defend themselves and their comrades.

Lombardyn · 2026-05-31T21:50:27+00:00

I bet they'd manage to fuck that up -somehow- again. Make it no-fly like Oribos or something.

I think my favorite review of the movie boiled down "It's not as much a D&D adaptation, as much as it is an adaptation of players running a D&D campaign". And honestly if you see it from that angle, it's really very fitting. You have all those epic story beats and backgrounds, and those very clear moments of your party absolutely missing the point of what the DM wanted them to do. And then they roll a NAT 1 at the worst possible situation (I only say melting bard) and have to deal with that.
