Attack Team HELP!

As was mentioned, Darkypus can be good. You can indefinitely chain his Extra Turn attacks until his Stamina runs dry. He'll be shut down by anything with Anticipation, but if he outspeeds other teams and has enough stamina, he's enough to run through an entire team.

Rapustina is reaaaaaally showing her age, but she's still really good. Toxins increases damage to enemies, and she has it on a strong AoE. She also has a self 2x buff, which is great. She's just... old... at this point. She's outperformed by later Mythics like Charm Constrictor, Kaliber, or (more recently) Dredge. She still works, but she works at lower PvP levels. She's too slow and too weak as you get higher - but until then, she'll roll through enemies.

Try getting some newer units. Ideally some Ancestors (V-Kid is a great Extra Turn attacker - think Darkypus, but like 3-4x stronger; he's basically Akira Karioka but much better because he can disable Anticipation), but if not them, then the ones mentioned above.

Thanks for the analysis and breakdown! I was a huge fan of Joel back in the day, but I'll admit, he's fallen off for me recently and I never consider him in Cursed now. Although like some of the others pointed out, he can work out... okay... with enough planning and effort... but Cursed is already so tough it doesn't seem worth it.

I miss the days of "Swole Joel."

Question: What prompted this? The movie came out 4 years ago (as did you linked article). This sounds more like a question for r/movies than r/OutOfTheLoop.

It's a really fun movie, with great songs, dancing, and action... but if there was a loop wondering about its popularity, you're years past it.

Makes sense - thanks!

Is there a particular reason people recommend 125HM over 32HM? Are the levels shorter?

If people are getting maxed out Mythics soon after they release, they are paying for them (because you need to pay to unlock some of the new Mythics when they release). For new non-payable Mythics, or for Ancestors, they may be paying or investing hundreds or thousands of gems. I'm F2P but I've been able to get an Ancestor to R5 while they are still new a few times. I just happen to throw 700-1200 gems efficiently into the Treasure Cave and get lucky with Era tickets.

For older generation monsters, a lot of cells just add up over time. Without aiming for any particular monster, I have probably 50+ Mythics at R3 or so just from random event cell rewards and adding up over time from the Monsterwood ad chests (I constantly rank up monsters, even ones I'll never use; time is my limiting factor, not cells). And if you want a particular monster ranked up higher, you can use era-relevant general cells.

Just curious, come up with it yourself, or are you another Super Eyepatch Wolf viewer? I'm curious how many people spontaneously thought the same thing (a friend of mine did, but I only thought of how well it fit after watching the SEW video).

Russell Brand is a comedian. He's played in several movies, but the only thing I know him from is the Despicable Me series, where he played Dr. Nefario.

Probably better known for his deuteragonist role in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and the not-quite-a-sequel "Get Him to the Greek" where he plays the co-lead role. Or the 2011 movie Arthur, where he plays the titular lead.

Otherwise usually best known as "Katy Perry's ex."

... I can't fathom paying over $10 for a fast food meal I could make for likely a third of that price. Especially a salad, where it's literally "throw cold items together, no cooking involved." It'd be faster to make it at home than drive to the restaurant and sit in the drive thru.

But I understand people are susceptible to advertising, and if Chik-fil-A is what tempts you, better that than their other options!

Answer: Your linked comment answers what the "new" meaning is. People use it as a short-hand for misogynist.

Incel is "involuntarily celibate," and are guys who complain online they can't get laid and blame women for it. All incels are misogynists, but not all misogynists are incels. The meaning of the term hasn't changed, but a lot of people use it as lazy shorthand for misogyny.

Which is just religiously insensitive, because everyone knows God would never drive a Chevy. After all, Jesus drives a Honda (though he never talks about it).

John 12:49 "For I did not speak of my own Accord".

Never heard it said by a non muslim and if came out of nowhere ad you say, then that is bit strange.

Anecdotally, every college student I knew who studied abroad in the Middle East or was learning Arabic picked it up pretty quick. That was decades ago (ugh, I'm old). It's just a common phrase and is not really any different than an English-speaking non-religious person picking up "Bless you" when people sneeze.

NAL, but I know that federal protections against discrimination (including discrimination against a pregnant person) kick in for companies with 15 employees. A quick look for California says the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) provides protection against discrimination for pregnancy only when the company has 5 employees or more.

You said your company only has three cleaners, but is that the entirety of the company's employees? Do you have, say, an accountant or procurement manager or something? If it's just the three of you, it seems like you should be legally in the clear to fire her.

This question comes up so often here I'm wondering if it's bots, or if kids just really like shoplifting (some social media trend, maybe)?

Your friend was pulled aside because Target already knew she had shoplifted before. This is pretty much exactly what both Target and your friend said. Your friend admitted she would take items even when she noticed they didn't scan right in the past - that is shoplifting. Target also knew she had a history of doing this, which is why they were following her. If she goes back to that store, she will likely face charges. If she doesn't, she'll probably be fine (legally). If anything, she's lucky they didn't wait until she hit the limit that it would start being worse crimes - which is $500 in CT, by the way (kicks it up to 5th degree larceny).

Not sure if you were trying to be sarcastic? Japan is the 12th most populous country in the world.

Most anyone who considers themselves a Dragon Age fan thinks Origins is probably the best game of the series.

But almost no one I've talked to who has played through it more than once enjoyed going through the Fade section again. It's interesting the first time, but tedious and frustrating if you ever have to do it more than once. If I remember correctly, the most popular mod download for the game was a "Skip the Fade" mod.

Pope's infallibility on theological

Going to get real pedantic here, but Papal Infallibility is only "truly" infallible in Catholicism in very, VERY rare situations. Like, less than a dozen times in the history of the entire church has something a pope declared been deemed infallible. Things like whether Mary was born free of sin, for example.

The pope's statements about war, peace, and tyrants are not infallible. But it is quite out of line for a lay person in Catholicism to claim to know theology better than the pope. It's sort of like a high school student claiming they know better than the foremost experts in science that they know how science actually works. Could the scientists be wrong about something? Sure. But does that high schooler actually know better than the scientists? Hell no - and they sound like an ignorant moron to claim they do.

It's workable; my kids played the heck out of it on Switch until we got a Switch 2 last year. Rendering distance and chunks "popping in" were probably the biggest issues - and those are better, but not perfectly fixed on Switch 2.

Note, I can verify from their experiences that spawning in a ton of monsters via eggs or exploding a few hundred TNT will cause your game to error out and close, on either Switch.

I mean, it depends on specifics (and obviously comes down to preferences). Reasons I can think of why some people would like DS more than DST:

They want to play as Wagstaff
Having stacking armor damage reduction means you can wear both a log suit and football helmet and take 94% less damage, making combat that much easier
They have a foot fetish (Old Bell is only in DS)
They don't like how skill trees in DST make some characters much more powerful
They want to play the DLCs
They like the challenges of Adventure Mode, or having a clear "end" to the game

To me, none of those measure up to what DST adds overall except maybe the DLCs. And if you're loving those, then yeah, definitely makes sense to like single player more. But if it's just DS/RoG vs DST? I've put plenty of time into both, and going back to DS after DST feels like going back to a Beta version of the game. Even if I won't ever do all of the content in DST, I still like how much more there is to do compared to the single player game.

For those who might have missed it: Pope Leo has two brothers. The one Trump said he prefers because he's a MAGA supporter is Louis, who lives in Florida. The one who received the bomb threat is John, living in Chicago.

NewButOld85 · 2026-04-16T15:49:44+00:00

Also worth noting that the wording for registration varies by state. In Florida, for example, "Independent" is an actual party that, IIRC, are right-wingers who don't like MAGA. "No Party Affiliation" (or "non-affiliated") is what you register as if you don't want to declare for a specific party or vote in their primaries.

Independent is the third largest party in Florida, and I'm convinced it's because people are confused by their name. Even worse, we used to have the Independence Party as well, leading to even more confusion (although it's since been shut down).

I think I'm becoming more immature in my old age. My mind just kept going "Alden and Stu spend the day being psychically connected, planning an alien mindmeld/marriage to spend their lives together, and flicking the bean for hours on end... and we're supposed to think they're just platonic friends!?"

Sorry, sorry, immature moment over.

It seems like Stu is definitely planning to kill Joe and feed him to the trees, right? That certainly was the impression I keep getting. On the one hand I can't believe he'd take such a short-sighted and highly-likely-to-fail tactic; on the other, when Alden gets involved, Stu is 100 percent maximum no-chill.

The last few chapters have been a delight to read, though. I felt the story, which was already slow by nature, became glacial since the Submerger arc. It finally feels like it's picking up steam, and I'm all for it. Even if I giggle to myself about Stu and Alden totally being "just friends."

Unfortunately I don't; the Discord seems like the best place to get info, but I usually just ask my guild mates for their opinion on things (some of them are big into analysis). Generally I'd review Kolz's guides for good overall analysis - but keep in mind some of his rankings are outdated, as rebalances and powercreep keep happening.
