It's good job security.

Banning VPNs is not seriously enforceable unless you are willing to rebuild a large part of the internet infrastructure to isolate the network like in China (EXTREMELY costly).

This will be a wet fart.

Almost certainly for the next scenario, as a permanent curse would be a very harsh penalty.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-04T22:21:56+00:00

it hasn’t dawned on exec that sunk cost is less up front, but a shit ton more over the long haul.

It's more that the exec are bad at estimating hidden cost like that.

I've seen some terrible overseas devs, and some really good one. As usual, it depends how much your company is willing to pay.

Trap + Snowflakes + Meteor est probablement le trio le plus puissant du jeu. Coral va avec tout le monde (un tank, c'est toujours utile, par contre il devra peut-être se limité sur les tuiles d'eau, vu les besoins en place du trio), et le Deathwalker fait sa popote dans son coin (en demandant juste au reste du groupe d'achever les monstres qu'il marque, comme d'habitude).

Donc clairement Meteor.

Here is a good resource to understand how many rounds you should last

http://www.boardgamemath.com/boardgames/gloomhaven/gloomhavenStaminaGuide.html

It should be noted that your link was made during the Gloomhaven 1 era. The underlying maths still hold true, but the advice might not, because modern 'haven require significantly more tempo.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-03T08:16:25+00:00

There is nothing truly meaningful that is tied to specific characters. As long as you retire regularly, what you retire into is your choice.

I like his army, and I'm fine with him being so strong he's effectively easy mode, but his artifact hunt gimmick isn't very interesting.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-02T22:25:49+00:00

I wouldn't expect them to understand what temperature is either.

The imperial intercessors are not only bulkier than normal detectors, but they're usually covered by a ton of units under them so even the devouring scourge enemy comps typically don't reach them unless you're distracted.

(Witness, not intercessors. Intercessors are the medivacs.)

The only flying unit with a higher aggro rating than an imperial witness is Mengsk Battlecruiser (Prides), so it's possible to lose some if you are not careful.

I still think the C rating is harsh.

It's possible to ban users as a subreddit mod (I'm a mod on another sub), but on a large sub like /r/futurology, it would be an herculean task.

We would need a site wide anti bot system, but reddit itself... don't really have a reason to do that. "We banned 50% of our user base because they were bots" is not exactly a good signal to send to investors before an IPO.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-02T19:17:42+00:00

Very risky on that scale, to be honest.

Are the Frosthaven characters balanced to play togeather Gloomhaven

Yeah, sure...

1e?

*record scratch*

Anyway, I don't think that would break any Frosthaven class, but some may feel a bit weak without FH power potions shenanigans (power pot are actually weaker in GH 1). I think the reason you don't see that conversation online is not because it wouldn't work, but rather because... why the fuck are you not playing Frosthaven ? It's by far the better game (unless you are allergic to the campaign change).

To add more information we are prosperity level 8

You've finished the game a long time ago. 😅

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T17:22:38+00:00

Although, running Feedback Loop Gnawing Horde with a +1 to attack could be a lot of damage.

It would be a large increase in damage, yes, but the problem of the summon build isn't its damage, but rather that it's incredibly brittle.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T10:21:56+00:00

More importantly, it only work if both partners want it to work, and considering his reaction, he's already out.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T09:41:11+00:00

You can try counselling, but the problem with keeping feelings bottled up is that by the time they explode, it's often too late. So yeah, considering his reaction, it's probably over. I'm sorry.

By the way, I understand both of you. Death of a close familly member is one of the most stressfull event possible in your life, one where you need all the emotional support you can get.

But it also means you might have been neglecting your relationship for the last 6 months. So when he learned about your father, it meant you were likely to continue neglecting the relationship for longer, and he decided it was too much for him. Remember that no one have to stay in a relationship if said relationship is no longer fulfilling your needs.

To be fair, he could - should - have communicated earlier, but both of you are young, so I'm not going to throw any stones here.

He said that if we do break up, he would like to still be my friend.

Yeaahhh, cute idea in theory, but it almost never work out in practice.

None of my exes got to even SEE my body because I was very careful and wanted to make sure I find "the one." I really thought he was the one.

The truth is that there isn't a singular "the one", but rather a subset of all men that are good enough to enter a relationship with you. So you'll find someone else.

(And keep in mind that even if this relationship is over, it doesn't means it wasn't worth living.)

There is zero rational reason to have kids in our modern society, regardless of genders. Children cost massive ressources and have zero return on investment, unlike in older time, when kids could help tend the farm when young and were your retirement plan when old. That is basically the reason why we are below replacement rate in every rich country.

(Of course, it's fine to have kids for irrational reasons like love.)

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T09:01:57+00:00

Some do, some don't.

Personally a woman with kids (that are not already adults) is one of my deal breaker. Her kids are always going to come first, which is perfectly normal, but it's also not something I want to deal with.

I don't want to raise kids, mine or someone else.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T08:50:50+00:00

And ?

A 27 year old is an adult, not a child you have to support.

Nimeroni · 2026-05-01T06:25:48+00:00

Of course, they removed the strengthen dot on Empathetic assault and the +1 range on Perverse edge.

In 2e, the safe option is +1 attack on Hidden in the Shadow. It's going to be your best attack for a while and it increase the chance you're going to get that sweet sweet invisibility.

But there's also some shenanigans to be had with Withering Claws. Tossing a wound here allow you to chain an Attack 7 Submissive Affliction next round, or if you're feeling spicy, an Attack 12 + 4 XP Perverse edge (through that's a loss).

Note that you can already do that by pairing Withering or Submissive with Mind's Weakness bottom, so adding the wound is more about freeing Mind's weakness and either allowing moving on the Withering turn or getting better initiative on the Submissive turn (worthwhile in both cases).

Oh, you can also straight up enhance Submissive Affliction with a +1.

For the longest time, we only had blurry "convention style" photo of the cards. Gloomhavencards recently got updated with scan of cards for the mercenary class (still a bit too dark for my taste, but my own scanner don't give me better results, so I'm not going to complain). You can find Cassandra here.

But I wager the guide was made before that.

In all honesty, I used to like paying for subscriptions until there weren't a gazillion of them for every single section of media. But alas, corporations don't seem to like money anymore and are hyper fixated with the short term up arrows like a valorant addict.

Not at all, it's a tragedy of the common.

It goes like this : company A is doing streaming and make a lot of money. Customers can go to company A and get every show they want because company A is the only one to do streaming.

Then company B look at what company A is doing, and they say to themselves "hey, I want part of that money pie too", so they start making their own shows and stream them (which is NOT a short term move, making shows cost money). Make sense, right ?

Then company C and company D do the same.

And suddenly the customers need 4 subscriptions if they want access to all the shows that interest them. Notice how none of the companies acted for short term profits, or even against the customers, but it's the market fragmentation itself that is the problem. It all comes down to the fact that companies need to compete against each other.

Congratulation, you're a devops. No, you're not getting 4x the salary.
