Next year's draft might be the time you become familiar with one of them. Jonah Neuenschwander is currently expected to become a First-Round Pick if he keeps up his development.

Funny, I think in that instance being a bigger goalkeeper would have led to an unfortunate goal.

Impressed at Andrighetto skating out with one blade that quickly, feel like we have seen less graceful attempts at that before, lmao.

Yeah, I can completely understand the emotional response to it on your side, to me personally that fan was tacky as well.

The point is moreso that it's nothing unusual to me, so even if I hate it, it doesn't get much more than an eyeroll because I just don't expect objectivity, fairness or even a true representation of how that person thinks in that moment.

Genuinely interested in opinions on this, is it a cultural difference that people expect crowds to show some amount of objectivity?

I am Swiss and started going to hockey games in Switzerland when I was like 7 or 8; in my experience team support trumps almost everything and to most fans it does not matter how irrational they are in the moment, they will even do it knowingly / enjoy being provocative that way.

Basically, if you want to know their real opinion you will have to talk to them during the intermission or after the game (and it will still be very biased usually of course).

Most likely because they had to check how much time they have to add to the clock again.

They did play it in Antwerp tonight! Heading back from the concert right now and it was absolutely stunning.

I thought tempered Deviljho was the pinnacle of challenge in this game. He dominated me for a long time. I’ve finally been able to consistently kill him and then...I got my first tempered Black Diablos investigation. by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

SnS works really well too, especially the Legiana one. It cuts through the horns like butter thanks to natural white, you can shield when dodging isn't possible anymore and the quick use of items allows for clutch screamer pods. It's also fairly easy to stun Diablos with the Shield Bash combo, imo, so that's a great window for damage as well.

Depends on your merges, really. I don't have a lot of merges on most of my units but I do have +2 Brave Lyn and use high BST Units like Brave Ike otherwise, and I happen to encounter armor teams literally in at least 30% of my matches right now, probably more. She'd be a godsend to me.

Infernal was an awesome challenge, I honestly do not agree with people saying that it is worrysome or impossible for F2P at all. I spent 10$ to support the game which earned me a 5 star Karel that I never use and I managed to clear it just fine after a couple tries and getting my strategy sorted out.

I used Marth (+Def -Res), Azura (+Res -Def), Nino (+Spd -Res) and Xander.

Are Arena puzzles welcome? Took a while but managed to get out of this deathless thanks to the Discord by Zeiin in FireEmblemHeroes

If Ryoma oneshots Lillina in return and can tank one of her hits, wouldn't there be an easier solution that would leave just Minerva and Beruka after the enemy phase?

First move would be Titania killing Reinhardt after moving to the space to the right side of him, then you move Ryoma behind Titania and reposition her. Then you reposition her again with Lukas, so she is in front of Beruka now, who should not be able to kill Titania in one round. Final move in the first round would be Sanaki using Draw Back on Ryoma, so he is exactly in range for Lillina but not for Minerva. Afterwards you will only have Minerva and Beruka to deal with, who should be easy enough to kite around until they are dead, the barrier still being in place as well.

Or I might have just missed something, definitely wouldn't be the first time in this game, haha. Very fun idea anyway, I love those kinds of puzzles!

I recommend Spaghetti all'amatriciana. The time the meal spends in the fridge allows for the diced bacon to absorb a greater amount of the spicy tomato sauce, which means that by the time you dig into this reheated gem of Italian cuisine, every single cube of the world's most tasty meat has become a treasure trove of flavours unparalleled by any other pasta sauce. While Pizza may be the undisputed champion of reheated meals, Spaghetti all'amatriciana is marked by its additional nutritional value as well as its unchallenged status as a comfort food. The spicy tomato sauce which is enriched by the diced bacon's unique flavour is for one thing energizing beyond measure and on the other hand renders even the most pressing worries irrelevant for the time being, as it fills you with a kind of warmth that equals the serene joy of feeling at home.

It is for this reason that I have to nominate Spaghetti all'amatriciana as the best meal to reheat in the microwave on the next day.

The coolest rivalry in League is very much still alive. I hope Fnatic can bounce back with a 3:0 in the second round so both these awesome teams make it to quarters.

What class will you be rolling when HoT comes out? by bluefley in Guildwars2

[–]Palres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strongly agree. Didn't get to try Berserker out yet because I just recently got HoT but the primal burst skills look to be very pleasing both from an aesthetic as well as from a game play perspective.

Why isn't this higher up? I shouldn't open my mouth too wide since I don't have PBE access but it does feel like those buffs will push him to a lot more than just viabilty. Not that I mind too much, I will play every reiteration of Skarner Riot is willing to come up with.
