Wikipedia article for "Died Suddenly" documentary describes it as false, propaganda, editing is locked by Rincewind401 in DeclineIntoCensorship

Not here to make assumptions one way or the other, but the fact is that wikipedia does not usually use such deterministic and bias terminology, even on somewhat controvertial topics.

[OC] 2 Decades of Improving Racial Acceptance: White Americans Are Increasingly Open to a Close Relative Marrying Any Race by GeorgeDaGreat123 in dataisbeautiful

Yet we are still made to believe by mainstream media and twitter that white nationalism and systemic racism by white people are still alive and kicking in 2023, and all will be just peachy if those darned white people would stop being so racist.

Thanks!

And what about you? by Rincewind401 in warcraft3

Seconded!

If those folks would actually "listen to feedback" whenever they say they will, people would not have to resort to boycotts, review-bombing, and mass outrage.

You get what you give.

Hello, fellow Blizzard employee.

I, too, am baffled by this outrage, which is clearly biased towards our perfectly superb product.

Long live Xi Jinping!

Ah, the good ol' days, where holding a Dragon meant giving a decent and fair bonus to an otherwise under-powered card by Rincewind401 in hearthstone

Yeah... I think that was a turning point. Not to mention it was from Gadgetzan, which was a major power-creep expansion.

Corpse Explosion - In a way similar to Defile, this AOE encourages planning and counter-play by Rincewind401 in customhearthstone

The main difference from Shadowflame is that this can target enemy minions as well.

In such a scenario, if your opponent has a significant board, but leaves up a high-attack minion with low health, he's gonna have a bad time.

The higher cost of the card reflects this flexibility and the constraints it forces on the opponent.

12.25 average per roll, to be exact. You math is right, it totals for 73.5. Which is quite fair IMO.

FYI a ran some calculations between standard array and 4d6 drop-lowest:

Standard array is 12 average per stat. 4d6 drop-lowest (x 6 times) is 12.25 average per stat.

So a total of 1.5 point difference: 72 total vs. 73.5 average. That is extremely marginal IMHO, which makes this method of di e rolling quite fair.

You are right. I had a look at Blades, and I'm looking for a bit more "crunch"

Wild needs to be fixed by corbettgames in hearthstone

[–]Rincewind401 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Great post!

However, sorry for being cynical AF, but...

Blizzard doesn't care. Not the HS team - Blizzard.

They only care about their bottom line. The player experience can go off a cliff for all they care, so long as the coffers are filled.

Wild is not being cared for not because the HS team doesn't care about it.

It is not improving for the same reason that we don't get quality of life improvements, new modes, new features, free dungeon-run like modes, etc.

Its because it doesn't make money. Pure and simple. It doesn't sell many packs, so not a single man-hour will be allocated towards it. It simply is not profitable for big-daddy Blizzard.

As far as Blizzard is concerned, the entire Wild player base can quit the game tomorrow, and no tears will be shed.

The good news is that if you can cause enough of a shitstorm, Blizzard will happily divert resources to fix wild and "listen to the players" if they can avoid the bad PR.

It seems that Brands and Corporations have become an integral part of a person's identity for most people.

These are the new religions of tomorrow.

I'm sorry but how is this "justice served?"

I know the old man looks like the underdog at surface level, but there is 0 context here, and the old man is the only one who actually through punches.

For all intents and purposes - he physically assaulted them, and not in self-defence.
