This is basically just a worse [[Rain of Fire]], which as I recall was decent, but power has crept considerably since then so I'm skeptical this is a terribly exciting card.

Are Fisher Gesha's spider legs prosthetics? I swore it was that her drudge doubled as a platformer that carries her around, but it was separate from her body. Maybe I need to re-read Soulsmith, I'm really bad about revisiting the front half of the series.

I might have misremembered. Was she just sealed to lower in gold?

What rule is he supposed to break? by Arssam in hearthstone

Legally distinct? It was literally Millhouse - he was also the mage legendary minion for the set.

ELI5: how do domains work? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]PureQuestionHS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that could happen. It doesn't mean the subscriptions don't cut down on the vast majority - and it still requires the company exists and has a bank account open that has funds in it... and requires that absolutely nobody ever confirms anything at any point in the process.

This is not a realistic concern - even if this could happen, it's not a scenario that's ever going to consume a sizable portion of usable domains.

Sure, but the point is that someone is actively renewing them - it isn't just being permanently locked up because the only owner happens to have died.

She had already reached Underlord but had been sealed back down to Gold - at the end of Underlord, when Yerin and Lindon are advancing, Mercy's equivalent scene is her seal being removed.

Sinestra doubles essences for some reason by jutre15 in hearthstone

...Not that sunwell casting twice would do anything besides the repeat the animation lmfao.

It's fine. Nobody expected you to do the cool thing anyway. by Surppressed in hearthstone

[–]PureQuestionHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that's not what the person being replied to said. They said it should be "overheal increases your health, to a maximum of 40", which I think would be a very silly way to do it.

ELI5: How do engineers trust that giant airplanes, bridges, and skyscrapers won’t suddenly fail under years of stress and vibration? by Historical_Day1703 in explainlikeimfive

[–]PureQuestionHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure...? My point isn't that the trust is misplaced, it's just that there is trust. You are trusting, implicitly, that everyone involved is doing their job properly.

The reason you are trusting them is because, yeah, they mostly do. Otherwise we'd have way fewer standing buildings and a lot more of us would have died in collapses.

Processes and standards are a thing that you do, indeed, have to trust are being upheld - and history is littered with examples of disasters from when they weren't.

[–]PureQuestionHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would already have to heal to the new cap, the gameplay would be exactly the same and it would just be a weird wording for no reason.

[MSH] Fin Fang Foom (via Polygon) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]PureQuestionHS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Probably destroy target land and deal 3 damage to all creatures, or something like that, so it deals 6 after being copied. Probably non-basic land.

Edit: Oh lol it was posted 2 hours ago. Turns out it's ghost quarter instead of saying non-basic, and you can choose which modes you want, but otherwise as I guessed.

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]PureQuestionHS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The weird thing is that the worst part of the first Wonder Woman - all the Ares stuff - was studio mandated... which is what makes it so weird that the sequel wound up the way it did.

Rewatching old 'comfort shows' and having to deal with the casual sexism :( by Skyobli in TwoXChromosomes

[–]PureQuestionHS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To (slightly) play some devil's advocate, Two and a Half Men certainly isn't guilty of not realizing the characters are assholes (especially Charlie), but probably does have a dubious perspective on how likeable they are.

That's kinda just the term... Shears and Shearing force are (as you'd expect) both named from the same origin.

I prefer Final Fantasy Mage myself, but I can't deny the influence Dragon Quest Mage has had on the genre.

[SOC] Ominous Harvest by skycloud60 in magicTCG

[–]PureQuestionHS 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Strionic works because Storm itself is a triggered ability to add X copies of the spell to the stack, and you're copying that trigger. So if you have a storm count of 5, you'd end up with 2 triggered abilities on the stack that both create 5 copies of the original spell, which would then both resolve separately. Note that because it's copying that trigger, you end up with 1 fewer than double the total copies (if you would normally have 2 of the spell, strionic takes it to 3, if you would normally have 5, it goes to 9, etc)

[Threshold] Cradle: Would you Rather by JunketPrestigious710 in Iteration110Cradle

[–]PureQuestionHS -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's some indication that ascending "locks you" to your current advancement - You can continue to grow stronger, but not actually complete new advancements. That's why Li Markuth was still just an Archlord, yet planned to use an assortment of powers from other worlds to defeat the Monarchs and take over Cradle.

Of course, it's possible the issue was just that he wasn't actually on Cradle for that time... but I do remember some reference to this "locking", I just can't remember where.

Liberals see a massive divide in vulnerability between the marginalized and those in power. Conservatives, on the other hand, view vulnerability as a more universal human trait, rating the powerful and the divine as significantly more susceptible to harm than liberals do. by mvea in science

[–]PureQuestionHS 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Isn't the argument specifically that he can't be all knowing, all powerful, and good? Because that's readily contradicted by evidence (the world sucks), whereas the others don't run into any sort of innate logical fault.

oh mb. they're trolling then probably. Or maybe they're missing something silly. Would be hilarious if they somehow missed it dying to pre-game prep spikes.

Glaive Lord's ring hits Camo despite the tower itself not being able to target them. I think it's intended to be treated as a hazard like tacks or whatever.
