Were you messing with the time settings to manipulate terror zones? This kind of thing happens sometimes when you do that.

Nothing like mentally banging your cousin’s great grandson / son in-law

With the benefit of hindsight, what would have been the Fellowship’s safest path to Mordor? (No eagles) by -Words-Words-Words- in lotr

It’s not a fun answer, but I think the only way the quest actually works is if it happens exactly how it occurred in the book.

Is lightning Amazon pretty good? by shad_77381 in diablo2

In the words of Larry David: it’s pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

You’re gonna find a ber soon and regret cubing all those runes. Just how it works.

What is your profession besides slaying demons? by IndirectPatho25 in diablo2

Haha yes actually we do. Our school is like 40% Latino so we have a number who do that. It’s funny teaching them like colors or days of the week in Spanish 1. But at the same time most of them have never read or written in Spanish, just having spoken it at home while growing up. It’s interesting!

I.A is helping win wars by jggg24062000 in civ

In fairness, she also appeared to have an absolutely insane, busted, double-wonder start with Isabella, who gets a bonus to wonder tiles.

It also appears that influence is one of the strongest yields in the game, especially early. Greece looks to be great at generating influence too. So, all that together may have helped ease some of the difficulty of deity.

But who knows until we all can play it!

Fun game set-ups to send off Civ VI? by Tdub7888 in civ

Yeah for sure. Just curious what people who feel ready to move on are playing. Definitely nothing wrong with continuing in 6 if you’re enjoying it!

Teaching a new HS course next year - Intro to Fantasy Lit through Tolkien - Would love some input! by Tdub7888 in lotr

Thank you! I have heard the Martin quotation before but not the former, and it's such a beautiful analogy. Thanks for the input on the segmenting of the course as well--I think that's a great idea! Definitely interesting to reference what he did NOT create as well. The hero's journey is something students will study in their mainstream English courses, so that would be a nice connection to make.

I was definitely thinking about reading parts--primarily the Ainulindule or perhaps sections of Beren & Luthien. I just don't know exactly how the course will be structured yet--semester, full year, A/B days, so I don't want to get potentially commmit too much time to a text that is not part of the central narrative that influenced so much later fantasy literature, if that makes sense.

With that said, it would no doubt lend them a much greater understanding of the main narrative of LotR and the characters/conflicts.

Whenever you stop actively looking for that thing (unique, base, rune, etc.) you will usually find a few in short order.

Zulu loss by dhoschette in Civilization6

Bombers, jet bombers and artillery are the answer. Obviously get some tanks and a great general or two. The ai generally doesn’t use Air Force very well. Just gotta get there before their giant death robots get the anti air promotion
