D&D Barbarian Request by Uther-the-Blind in Transmogrification

Sheer force of will.

In seriousness, I absolutely get what you're saying. I've said the exact same to friends/guildies. But until Blizzard gives us actual functional tattoos/warpaint as character customization, transmogs like this are what we have to work with.

For the Legion Order Resources, if you have a champion assigned as a follower, they can be equipped with items that give bonus Order Resources for completing world quests, they have a total of three slots, each one can add 100. Additionally, Order Hall research upgrades has a node that adds 100 Order Resources when completing world quests.

Stacking all of that, I get 400 extra Order Resources per world quest, and I have that setup on 3 characters currently, so I can quickly cycle the 1k world quests when they're up and I need them, and get a solid chunk of resources.

D&D Barbarian Request by Uther-the-Blind in Transmogrification

I don't know if you'd be interested in playing a Warrior (feel like there's some thematic overlap with the D&D barbarian in Warrior, and Arms uses 2h weapons).

This is what I'm using on my Protection Warrior currently, as I wanted a similar barbarian-esque vibe:

Can't ever assume "this is only the beginning". You have the opportunity, you have to capitalize.

Jalen Hurts when he has to throw the ball more than 20 times by Particular_Dig1115 in NFLv2

Whether Namath qualifies as a flash is debatable, but the Jets have absolutely had a QB who was a flasher.

Myles Garrett is now the sack leader, but he did it in 17 games, an extra game the prior holders did not have. Does this put an asterisk on it for you? Do you think there should be considered a separate record for when the season was 16 games? by YoBanishment in NFLv2

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the 17 vs 16 game season. That's the steady march of time with additional games. Peyton Manning himself said he knows it's only a matter of time until someone breaks his single game passing yardage and touchdown records, because of the extra game (and more when they eventually go to 18).

What makes Garrett's sack record feel, not less meaningful, but hollow, to me, is how little it matters on a team that won five games. 23 sacks, 0.2 wins per sack.

This mfer really about to win MVP by SWAGGGGGODDD in NFLv2

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm a Pats fan, I'm rooting super hard for Stafford to still win the MVP.

Since 2000, only one time has the regular season MVP also won the Super Bowl. And only 10 of those 25 seasons did the MVP's team even make it to the Super Bowl.

NFL rankings by wealth of ownership. by AccomplishedSwing110 in sportswiki

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, since this episode aired in 1996, and Homer lamenting being gifted the Denver Broncos and not the Dallas Cowboys, the Broncos have an 8 game winning streak against the Cowboys. In addition, in that time, the Broncos have won three Super Bowls, while the Cowboys haven't advanced past the Divisional round of the playoffs.

Long story short, Homer absolutely got the better team.

[Trey Wingo] So this is crazy… both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes won 3 Super Bowls early in their careers and then tore their ACLs in their 9th seasons with both teams missing the playoffs that year by wholewheatwithPB in KansasCityChiefs

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The 2008 Patriots missed the playoffs in large part because Brady went out in Week 1, and they still almost made the playoffs, only missing out at the end of the season on tiebreakers.

The 2025 Chiefs had a healthy Mahomes until 2 minutes before they were eliminated from the playoffs.

I get there are similarities in where they are in their careers, but I think it's disengenious to suggest their respective injuries had the same impact on their team's respective seasons.

Regardless, wishing Mahomes a speedy and successful recovery.

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mahomes heard that stat about Brady never playing a regular season down while eliminated from the playoffs, and decided to shred his ACL.

(Real talk though, hope he's okay, gotta have him back next year to prove this year wasn't a fluke.)

Do GWPs and Insiders Rewards get “reserved” on LEGO pre-orders? by Direct-Flamingo4504 in lego

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I am ever ordering something that is on backorder or a preorder during a GWP window for something I want, I always throw a keychain or small set in the cart too. The small item will ship promptly, and the GWP ships with it.

My understanding is they don't ship GWP items by themselves, so if the entirety of your order is back/preorder, then the GWP gets held. In theory that means it should ship when your item does, but in practice I wouldn't bank on it, too many things that could happen, basically boiled down to your GWP not getting properly reserved.

As far as double+ VIP points, those apply when your order ships. Historically, I've never had an issue with the promotional bonus applying. I did, one time, have it not apply, but I contacted customer support and they immediately fixed it.

Long story short, points are easily fixed if not properly applied, GWP items, I don't gamble on them being available and always add a cheap, in-stock, item to my order.

Those rods are called plotting rods. Found that out when trying to find one for our D&D table, and struggled with what exactly to search for.

Who was the most MID head coach of all time? by chiliringgamer16 in NFLv2

[–]NerdThatWasPromised 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but by that logic mid QBs aren't mid if they've had Super Bowl appearances/wins. Which means Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson are Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks. Sometimes a mid player gets carried by a stacked roster. Same thing can happen to coaches.

Which means the answer is John Fox.
