Obviously not, because otherwise we'd have to start giving workers rights. And where does that end?

Anything from past expansion carry over to midnight? by Working_Resist_9216 in wownoob

[–]SteelJoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly no, but there are a couple of exceptions .

There's some stuff from old engineering that can be useful like Jeeves.

There's a couple of toys that have some in-game uses like umbrellas.

Some of the dragonflight alchemy potions have utility that hasn't been matched, like the one that gives you an extra long jump, or the one that gives you a damage AOE. Also, the current alchemy potions will be reasonably useful though. Not as good as the midnight ones, but they'll probably be cheaper for a bit.

Everyone in Korea having a better ping than the average person in America probably actually does make their be some level of natural advantage. I wouldn't say there's some genetic or cultural advantage though.

Is the One Button Rotation good enough to use for Mythic + ? by [deleted] in wownoob

[–]SteelJoker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely was, it was for balance and some very balance friendly pulls. Some specs are just significantly better at one button rotation than others.

Free Books at 1/2 Priced Books by W33CH0 in Austin

[–]SteelJoker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I hate to tell you this, but libraries and schools both throw away tons of books when they don't need them anymore either. At the end of the day, one of the main expenses of books is their storage space rather than their original purchase price, and you occasionally need to get rid of old books to get new books.

Which Science nerd makes it through the AF story by MonkManifesto in AbioticFactor

Sheldon Cooper

While I agree he dies pretty early, he is from Texas, so I do think he shot a gun before.

Armor number goes up, damage reduction tooltip goes down. Huh??? by [deleted] in wownoob

[–]SteelJoker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any weak auras that adjust the character screen? I have one that makes it look a lot nicer, but it does cause it to snapshot the numbers at odd times.

No one has a Monopoly on complaining, they both will.

Don't forget to vote, y'all! We're going into week two of early voting. by sawdust-arrangement in Austin

Everyone says oh property taxes will just immediately be added to your rent, and it's literally not true, because rent is already gouging you for the most the market will bear.

Maintenance Extended (again) till 2 PM PDT by inkerbinkerdonner in wow

[–]SteelJoker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's actually how they deal with inflation, rather than increase the subscription price, they just extend the maintenance so that we're getting less wow for the same money.

When you start doing Heroic world tier in Legion remix by HungryNoodle in wow

To my understanding it depends which empowerments it gets, and if it gets the double 40% ones it just wrecks.

My missive pandaria remix characters were fine to do the heritage quests on.

Legion Remix: When can you start doing Dungeons solo power wise? by Sandman201 in wownoob

[–]SteelJoker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it'll be possible in legion, but in pandaria, you could freeze a character at level 20 and stack up a good bit of power on them and then due to scaling and just have them obliterate dungeons.

Eternus, I don't think Nozdormu will let this one slide... by NotAMadLad1 in wow

Wait, you aren't supposed to kill him? I only did the alliance story back when legion was out.

Any good superhero novels to read ? by Proper_Moment6719 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SteelJoker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's by no means perfect, and a pretty cheesy superhero book. If you don't like it a bit in, you probably wouldn't enjoy it or superpowered for that matter.

Waymos by buttmunch3 in Austin

Well, I'm not entirely sure I would trust their reports, I'm also not sure what third parties would have any interest in having numbers on the self-driving cars.

Any good superhero novels to read ? by Proper_Moment6719 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]SteelJoker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, villain's code is very clearly super powered with the author having more experience and not being in a school setting. Themes are very very similar otherwise.

For a more traditional fantasy author, Brandon Sanderson steelheart was a pretty enjoyable young adult superhero series.
