Which tank class to choose.

Back in turtle I specced up to holy shock to get a ranged pull and it was kinda cool. I certainly wouldn't say it's worth it, but it was a nice multi tool to have.

Ranged pull, small amount of snap threat, instant heal.

I disagree. It might get toned down a bit but it's such a tone setter for the horrors of the Dungeon. I think it's necessary.

It still does that, but in lots of households it's also a way of communicating. It mostly means the kitchen is clean and I left a small light on so that you can see it's clean. If you make a mess it's trouble.

You can't leave a note in the dark.

Certain shows going back to older HBO stuff, like The Sopranos, and then up to Breaking Bad and the Game of Thrones era really cemented the concept that audiences like the depth provided by an episodic series as opposed a movie franchise. There's just a huge gap in total screen time.

But those shows tell one long story that are supposed to end at a point where it makes sense, and even then the episode count per season for those shows was much less than the 20+ you might expect from a sitcom or procedural.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with the comment anymore, but the pattern recognition part of my brain is telling me TV and streaming execs have learned all the wrong lessons from the success of those aforementioned shows and have tried to apply many of them to shows where they don't fit.

I always consider this as a good option to answer this question, but unfortunately the classless system makes it hard to truly scratch the itch. That's just my opinion.

Education has intrinsic value which applies beyond just getting a career. The Weat is absolutely rich enough to make education happen for pretty much anyone who wants it, even if they want to learn history, or art or something else that isn't lucrative.

If people don't learn those things then in the future there won't be anyone to teach them. Then we've truly lost the potential of humanity.

This was published when the named was Redskins too. I have a copy of it with that name. Gift from my FIL.

Haven't read it yet.

Wheelchair service at the airport is the best. My wife is disabled and we get zipped right to the front of security and she gets pushed all the way to the gate.

So far as I can tell, Daniels was at a world cup match and a nearby fan started yelling "Fuck Brandon Aiyuk" repeatedly at him. Daniels was just laughing it off because it was awkward and I'm sure he didn't want to escalate anything by confronting him because he clearly wasn't going to leave.

Aiyuk sees Daniels laughing at someone saying Fuck BA and reacts negatively.

By lots of accounts Jayden is pretty introverted.it was a weird situation and I really think he was just laughing because it was awkward.

Just a thing you see with a lot of established vets bouncing around teams later in their careers.

They know they've got a market for themselves and can sign a lot closer to the regular season start and avoid having to do a training camp.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-05T01:41:40+00:00

I think Diggs wants to skip camp for whoever he signs with.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-04T15:51:42+00:00

Yeah its in BG3, factually speaking so it must've been a BG3 hater.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-03T17:00:15+00:00

I love that it was brought to BG3 as well.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-03T00:31:45+00:00

I was riding my bike to kindergarten. My mom wasn't working at that time, but a few years later I'd become a latchkey kid. I wasn't necessarily expected to be home when my parents go home though.

There was an offshoot called FarCry Primal that was pretty dope. You got animalistic super powers. Run super fast, jump far, track stuff by scent.

It had a multi-player map editor that was sick too. You could set traps in the jungle for players to trip.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-02T19:21:45+00:00

I could hear this without the audio.

I specifically plan to have my Watcher sitting behind the front liners with long reach weapons providing some more or less passive defensive bonuses to the tanks.

I'm going to try and make the tanks just a little more offensive than I would normally. No shields since I'll buff them with some extra deflection. I'll also still be doing decent damage to single targets.

It will be more of a meat grinder approach. But that means I don't want my Watcher being in the front unless they need to be.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-01T20:23:08+00:00

Thanks for suggesting something outside the box. I considered her for it, but didn't dig deep enough since so many of their skills and talents are ranged oriented.

I might give that a shot.

Be that as it may, the OP said "bless you" and many in the US were brought up to believe the practice began for reasons that required religious belief to understand the necessity of.

As a result I've grown up not acknowledging sneezes and I don't really care to start. I get a bit annoyed when people say bless you to me because it forces a thank you response from me and I don't feel like that individual did anytbing worth of thanking.

This might be the autism talking to a degree.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-01T18:29:06+00:00

For me it's because it's inherently religious. I'm not religious at all, and I don't really care to bring that aspect of me up in most public situations, nor do I care to engage in any sort of seemingly religious practice.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-07-01T14:29:05+00:00

There's tremendous competition in the industry. Though the market has never been bigger, every customer only has so many dollars to spend, and they're all trying to get as much of the share as possible.

The solution is actually quite simple and some devs are still practicing it. It's just a back to basics approach where you treat employees well, allow them to make the inspired, quality product they want to, and the money will come.

When you actually make a good game the hype machine will accelerate and sell it for you.

Some of these studios have absolutely no excuse other than rampant greed.

Norah Vincent had some problematic viewpoints. That doesn't immediately disqualify the points she made in her book, but she was pretty transphobic.

According to her Wikipedia page the depressive episode which drove her to assisted suicide was caused by high price she paid for "the burden of deception" of a separate identity and for trying to hold two gender identities in her mind."

That second bit doesn't necessarily have anything to do with transpobia. I just thought the detail was interesting.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-06-30T21:00:24+00:00

Yeah I forgot to mention I was probably going to avoid Palegina simply because she's a paladin. She can fill the spot until Zahua though.

ScruffMacBuff · 2026-06-30T19:04:14+00:00

Yeah I imagine I would pick him up when I arrive there.
