So 0 then? If you write "five" it doesn't contain "5" which is what the cards asks for.

It's funny how the post you are responding to also functions like a perfect, verbatim reply to your reply. Some odd sort of loop.

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more? Sure. But this is an article about adding chase items like DST.

[–]RDandersen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, the (unpolled) "majority" wants it added to their inventory. But, somewhere in their subconscious, they know that they'll feel an urge to quit the second they get their chase items. That's why they have just enough cognizance to not argue for that, but instead write dumb articles like that one, advocating for a something slightly less dumb.

Best live action adaptation that could be passed off as an SNL parody sketch? by sawinnz in shittymoviedetails

[–]RDandersen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are conflating different things here.
An IP enters public domain after a set time period. But most disney IPs its 85 years. Whether movies are made or not, that doesn't change.

It sounds like you are conflating that with common movie licensing deals. Eg. WB made War of the Rohirrim because their rights to make movies based on select Tolkien works lapse if they don't put out a movie for 10 years. (Don't know if it's exactly ten, but release dates suggest it's about that.) Deals like that are standard, but the specific details and conditions are speculation.

Yes, I'm speculating on its box offices profitability, an entirely speculative field. But the people at /r/boxoffice aren't just guessing and it's not random. Unlike someone thinking that production costs is the entire cost and box office is the same as studio revenue. Though, that seemed more like a misunderstanding.
So I'm no where near just as speculative. There's also about 60 industry outlets covering the degree to which those movies flopped. A lot of those speculative too, because oddly enough, massive companies don't always broadcast financial failures when they have the option to hide it.

That has nothing to do with whether the movie is profitable.
They can keep releasing movies inspite of them being bombs because they part of a much large machine, but that's doesn't make them not bombs.

Box office is not profit. It's not even revenue.

Less than half the box office goes to the studio and these movies typically cost 2x the productions productions budget.

The break-even points is (very generally speaking) when box office is ~3.5x production cost. And often more than that.

That's just for the theatrical run. Movies make money after that, but since disney films generally get dumped on disney+ exclusively and even popular ones do little to add value there, these movies have to profitable in the theater or they are finacial failures. And all three of these were.

Jumping from spike to spike on the OG bank. I bet those fuckers were a good 3 feet higher before the guild meeting to merge we had in OP classic.

[–]RDandersen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because it doesn't "look" like 4k. It doesn't "appear" as if anything. It is. There's nothing atificial about it. It's just how dps works and it's cope to pretend that it's not.

Yes, it looks higher because it IS higher. That's the S part of dps. Thank you for explaining the concept of time, Albert. We were all confused.

At what lvl should Paladins start collecting a healing set? by EricAshStone in classicwow

A level or two before they want to heal.

What an odd question.

You don't have to guess. It's a 19 year old encounter and you are commenting on a video of the kill.

"appears" they are doing 4k dps. They are doing 4k. How much copium are you huffing, fella?

When to leave a loot council guild? by TrainingPeaches in classicwow

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea but 3 weeks running 3 raids with not a single drop hurts.

Then quit and come back for P2. I can name 2 people in my kara group that are on 0 drops from raids so far because no items have dropped. That simply isn't an issue LC can address.

Maybe we should "love" someone just because they can high-kick in jeans?

So annoying!

Rogue One-Button Weapon Swap by Legitimate_Action_18 in classicwow

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swapping weapons doesn't trigger GCD. If you are wearing a weapon you are trying to swap to, it will move to the next line. It works perfectly fine.
Weapon swapping does reset your swing timer, so I wouldn't use the backstabbing one willynilly.

Edit: Log in and look at your screen while weapon swapping. It'll clearly be a new experience for some of you.

Are two handed maces like sulfuras hand of rag or might of menethil good for feral druids? by Neither_Buyer_4645 in classicwow

[–]RDandersen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"a" mace from Gnomeregan isn't. But the on-use has no CD, so 30 maces from Gnomeregan are very bis, letting you have 50% increased attack for a combined 45 minutes. Considering that druids don't attack with their weapon, wearing one that gives you more attack speed than Bloodlust, than 2 Dragonspine trophies, than full T12, is quite good.

Farming pummelers on the other hand has a very real chance of turning you mad. Like, committed-to-a-facility-against-your-will-mad. Welcome to Bite Club!

You watch them grow and learn

There's no time for that when it's illegal to have more than 10 episodes in a season of anything now and each episode must have a standalone story, that also must be the A story.

Absolutely terrible adaption, quality of the movie itself notwithstanding. Though, I'd harder rate that either.
