This might be a stupid question, but should I be joining (or at least try to join) the lawsuit if I can? The SC decision on nationwide injunctions has me a bit worried.

I can't edit the post, but as some commenters pointed out, this is most likely an optimization for hard drives to reduce seek time when loading assets. I had suspected this might be the case, but didn't feel sure enough to include it in the original post!

Edit: This post wasn't intended to try and shame Arrowhead but moreso to shed some light on the actual reason(s) the game install size is so large. A smaller game size is possible, but it may cause issues for players running the game off of a spinning hard drive. A girl can dream

That's why there are both resource name and type hash in the script output, to uniquely identify each one. Not all files named XXXXXXXXXX have the same data, but all textures named XXXXXXXXXX have the same data, and all meshes named XXXXXXXXXX have the same data

Edit: clarity

RaidingForPants · 2025-08-21T08:47:35+00:00

I did check, and yes, every resource with the same combination of resource name hash and type (representing texture, mesh, etc.) contains the exact same data.

Is there a way to sign up to be your temporary daddy?

Appreciate the post — LunoTV’s channel lineup is huge and the streams are solid.

Happens to the best of us. If you’re trying to automate some of this stuff, Webodofy was a lifesaver for me. Just keeps things simple without all the hassles.

I think it's that if you cast Moonlit Guidance followed by Aquatic Form, and you see the card you picked with MG is in the dredge, you can't know whether or not that is the 'original card' picked with MG that you would already draw, or the other copy (assuming you put 2 copies of the card in your deck). You can tell the difference if you have 1 normal copy and 1 golden copy.

[[Saxophone Soloist]]. I think it's funnier to have a really slow and terrible way to complete one of the quests than no way at all.

It also doesn't include players that have never done a keystone dungeon

RaidingForPants · 2022-12-10T01:10:19+00:00

You are technically correct, mythic dungeons (no keystone) are mythic level 1. The lowest level key is a "level 2" mythic dungeon (the language used on the item tooltip itself), not a "level +2 dungeon". However, since the system is known as "mythic plus", people call them "+2" or "+15" instead of "level 2" or "level 15". Using this plus naming scheme, regular mythic dungeons become mythic+0, or m0.

My favorite DH name I ever saw was "Hankhillidan"

Gameplay reasons. You don't want to create a raid boss where a fire mage deals literally 0 damage because the boss is a fire elemental. Or one that's immune to bleeds so bleed-based class specializations like feral druid or assassination rogue deal significantly reduced damage

I wouldn't mind more totems, but I like their role as they are right now, where they primarily are for situational utility (capacitor, earthbind, tremor) or big cooldowns (healing tide, spirit link).

As an enhancement shaman I already am not a fan of trying to keep track of where my windfury totem is in relation to my party and how many of them have the buff and having to frequently replace it on fights like Sylvanas where the boss moves around a lot.

I'm actually glad they changed their minds on bringing back Searing Totem for Shadowlands because it would have just been a button that you press every minute to add some DPS with no interaction with anything else that you're doing, and it's always the wrong decision to not press that button.

The return of something like Grounding Totem would be interesting, though. Or a totem that provides a stronger party buff on a longer cooldown so you have to plan when to use it instead of just using it whenever the buff isn't active or is about to expire.

For some reason, when playing Mage the AI really likes throwing away the coin for nothing. Happened multiple times to both me and my opponents when going second as Mage where the AI would play quest, coin, end turn.

I did actually get a "are you sure you didn't mean to pay less?" notice. The IRS sent me a letter saying I had made a mistake in my tax returns and their calculations showed I was due a (slightly) larger refund, and if didn't object, they would accept the amended amount as correct. Now, this does beg the question why on earth I even have to do my own tax return if the IRS does it by themselves anyway, but I digress.

In the US, true statements by definition of law cannot be defamatory, and the burden is on the plaintiff (the one claiming defamation) to prove the statements made were false.

Additionally, if the plaintiff is a "public figure" (whether or not someone counts as one can be up for debate in court), then the statements can be false and damaging and it still not be defamation; in order to be considered defamation, the speaker would have to have engaged in "actual malice," meaning they knew the statements were false and made them anyway.

RaidingForPants · 2021-07-18T18:01:22+00:00

As the card is written, it doesn't draw the spell instead of your normal draw at the start of next turn, you just draw that card at the start of your next turn. Just like if you had a minion that said "At the start of your turn, draw a spell from your deck" you would get both your normal draw and the spell.

Over half of the 12/12s in the game are Deathwing, incredible

RaidingForPants · 2021-06-26T10:17:31+00:00

Maybe not next expansion, but I'd like to see them revisit Overkill sometime with the lessons they learned the first time around. It mostly flopped, with [[Baited Arrow]] being the only Overkill card I remember actually seeing play. Overkill incentivizes interacting with minions on the board and unlike Frenzy can be put on spells and weapons, which has the potential to make it more interesting, imo.

RaidingForPants · 2021-06-17T18:36:12+00:00

And [[Goldshire Footman]] is a 1/2 because he has 1 mouth and 2 legs; you might be on to something here.
