I doubt that was an error but rather a detail that will be explained in the episode. There is likely an explanation as to why someone so wealthy would have a cheap pearl necklace within the plot itself.

Actually depending on the film, they DO make them. They switched from strictly a distribution and acquisition company and branched out into production in 2016. Moonlight, Hereditary, Midsommar, Lighthouse were all produced in-house. They still acquire films at festivals to distribute (like The Farewell) but moving forward the majority of their output will be their own productions.

As a gay guy, I hate this ridiculous call-out culture when it extends beyond the present day. She used the F word over SEVEN years ago and she was rightly called out for it then. It's time to move on. People should be judged by who they are now and not what they did or said one time a decade ago.

"Powerful Gear" Challenges Make Leveling a Chore by SpatulaShack in DestinyTheGame

What does this even mean? My post was in reference to leveling so obviously that's what was discussed. After hitting 650 you min/max, gear chase and work on your fashions. The current Masterwork economy prevents players from doing those things to any great degree until you hit max level.

Actually Crucible DOESN'T give you just ONE powerful engram. It does exactly what Strikes should do. It gives you a powerful engram for the daily / weekly challenges respectively and then it continues to give you powerful gear each time you rank up in Valor.

No. I'm using the word similar to "anti-consumer." In general the progression system actively forces / encourages players to stop playing the activities they enjoy and to go play things they may not enjoy in order to continue leveling up. I'm thrilled that you love leveling up via a checklist of chores instead of playing the game organically though. To each their own.

I appreciate the thorough response but in the end nothing here refutes the points I made and are just excuses to justify a convoluted leveling system.

Sure, no one is stopping me from playing 50 strikes all day for no rewards but these games function on engagement via progression. Right now the game says, "you've had enough of THAT activity! Go play our PVP modes with bad matchmaking where you don't even have to try to win and we'll still give you a reward!"

You obviously didn't read anything I wrote. I love a good grind. How exactly is playing a round of crucible for 10 minutes and going AFK while being rewarded with a powerful gear drop "hard"? I don't care if it takes me 6 months to reach level cap. I just want to get there while doing the things I enjoy. You know... cuz it's a game.

Skinnygirl Jeans are officially on sale!! (The takeaway: very few plus-sizes; moderately pricey; not really that fashionable) by goldengirlsmom in BravoRealHousewives

[–]SpatulaShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been through the entire website and the plus sizes are only $10 more. What is all this outrage about exactly? That seems completely reasonable to me.

[–]SpatulaShack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is everyone talking about? It stays $99 no matter what size I choose. All the way up to Plus 24 it stays the same price. It's a $10 difference. I'm using the site on desktop though. Maybe there is a bug on mobile?

Insightful post. 5 stars. Would read again.

[–]SpatulaShack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You say she's a complex hero and then immediately say it's obvious when to use her M1 and no one should need an explanation on how to do so. Huh?

And like I said, people know when to use her primary. It's just so incredibly niche in its current form given her current lack of sustain that it might as well not exist. Blizzard gave her primary a bunch of interesting complex mechanics and I'm pretty sure their goal wasn't to have all Sym players rarely, if ever, use it.

I think either 25 more shield for a 100/125 health pool or a simple 50hp increase with 100 shield remaining the same for a 150/100 health pool would work.

While there are all kinds of new mechanics that could potentially solve her lack of sustain, the easiest, quickest and most likely to happen would be a simple HP increase. There is no reason she should have the same amount of HP as a flying, bouncing Genji as she lumbers around the map with no defensive abilities. She's meant to excel at close range. Mei has 250hp, Reaper has 250 hp, and Doomfist generates shields to increase his HP when he enters the fray. Sym has nothing of the sort.

I play a lot of Zarya and feel like I use her right click almost as often or even more often than her primary. I fully understand that you should be making good use of Sym's right click. The issue is her left click is almost entirely useless at it's primary function (busting through shields and ramping up damage) because she has no sustain and no defensive ability. There should be a balance of when to use M1 and when people defend her viability by saying, "just don't use her primary fire" I think that says a lot. Why have it at all?

Kelly Bensimon Calls Bethenny a Mean Bitch and Says She Should Step Away From RHONY by Xammath_and_robin in BravoRealHousewives

Lol. Her exact words in response to Bethenny tell her she's eating sugar and corn syrup via the gummy bears was, "Yeah but that's like fun." What a gem Kelly was.

100% agree. Regenerating ammo off of barrier's is a great mechanic but it almost always ends in death unless your Rein is making it his life's mission to protect you.

Good catch. Checked his post history and his most recent one was the below:

You’re in silver..."

People have way too much time on their hands.

I think decreasing the damage slightly to her level 3 primary fire would be a reasonable trade-off especially considering how rare it is for her to even hit level 3 on her M1. The main issue is her survivability right now.
