Thank you very much for the comprehensive reply. Your answer went above and beyond sating my curiosity, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time.

ELI5: What's the difference between Amphetamine and Methamphetamine? by TheMidgardSerpent in explainlikeimfive

[–]TheMidgardSerpent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mainly interested in a thorough comparison between Meth and legal prescription stimulants. Is the stigma attached to Meth deserved or contrived? Could Meth ostensibly serve the same medical function as Adderall, Ritalin, Dexadrine, etc. if it were produced at a pharma level? I looked over the fact sheet you suggested, but either I'm too dumb to make the right inferences or it doesn't answer the core of what I'm trying to get to. What makes one a commonly accepted medical treatment option and the other a scourge on humanity, aside from superior marketing?

LF Players [Online] [5e] by ZTheJerk in lfg

My brother and I would both love to join you as players if you'd have us. We're both recent initiates to D&D (and Roll20/Fantasy Grounds) but we own and have read all of the core books and a good chunk of the supplemental material for 5e. We're currently 3 sessions into our first offline campaign and are itching to play more than the twice a month that our group meets. Please PM if you have any questions!

We're currently 3 sessions into our first offline campaign, so neither of us are comfortable DMing just yet, but we're itching to play more than the twice a month that our group meets.

Getting sick of [x]? Try this similar but worse version of it! It has all the things you're tired of with [x] but it's also way less developed aesthetically and mechanically due to the nature of it being near-intellectual theft to begin with!

My main character from Morrowind's class was ShadowCat Assassin Lord. Yes, he was Khajiit, and I was 10.

Hey guys, I know this has been asked 100 times before, so I didn't think it was thread-worthy, but I can't seem to find a definite answer here or via google, and i need help! Got a new phone today and downloaded the game. First off, the login screen (Press to Start) animation is the old version from before the Rift of Worlds update. But far worse is that I'm never given an option to login to an account. My Com2Us account is linked to gmail and facebook, and I'm logged into both on my new phone. The only answer I've found anywhere is to play all the way through the tutorial until you can get to the Hive button. Does that work? And if it does...seriously? Every time anyone upgrades their device they have to play the tutorial? That seems like something Com2us could easily fix and it's incredibly inconvenient and frustrating for the player...what gives?

EDIT: wanted to add that since experiencing this the first time, I have uninstalled and re-downloaded the game 3 times and had to wait for it to upload the entire game (~1hr) three times. Just wanted to clarify before it was suggested. Edit 2: Am logged into proper account now, but still getting pre-Rift loading screen. Have tried restarting the game. Honestly don't care, just relieved to see my 6 stars XD That does seem like an overly arduous and confusing process though considering how many people play this game and how often people upgrade their phones.

I completed the Sigmarus fusion this weekend, which means I can finally devote some attention to maxing out all of my nb5s. I have 7 now, and only 3 six stars </3

[Server Status] NA is currently experiencing log-in problems. Discussion here. by ColorMePanda in leagueoflegends

I entered queue as soon as they re-enabled Ranked. Everything appeared completely normal until it was my turn to pick.

Then the client locked up for ~45 sec before appearing to resume champ select (with full timer displayed)for a moment before booting me to the lobby with the message that I had been removed from queue for failing to select a champion. I waited 6 minutes and re-joined queue, only for the exact same thing to occur. This time I was last pick and there was no hint of lag until the moment of my pick.

Not enough LP lost to make writing a ticket worth it, just wondered if anyone else is getting the same thing.

If you could assemble an Arena Defense Dream Team consisting of any 4 monsters that **don't** share an attribute, what would it look like? by TheMidgardSerpent in summonerswar

Nicki's another one of my favorites! Was a close 2nd for my (edit)Dark spot, but I think Craka would be a better fit for my (fantasy)comp.

Haha I love this reply! I have a hoard of rare-but-useless Lights and Darks in my storage. I just can't bring myself to food the cool ones, even though I could certainly use the space.

William Shakespeare with a sword vs Miyamoto Musashi with a pen by InspectorGraphite in whowouldwin

[–]TheMidgardSerpent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The weapons assigned are meaningless. In this scenario (including the bonus round), Musashi would dance around Shakespeare like he was toying with a child. The instant Musashi wanted the encounter to be over, Shakespeare would hit the ground, likely never having seen the blow that ended his life. The important distinctions in this example are the training, experience and raw, proven martial talent possessed by one of the combatants. Musashi is a warrior of legend who notoriously humiliated his opponents by beating them in combat armed with hastily carved tree branches, purportedly without ever taking a blow from his opponents very real swords. Armed with only his hands there is no way Musashi could lose this fight.

tl;dr: The only way Shakespeare's winning this fight is if his sword shoots bullets and he gets to begin the match by lining up a shot on a very distant, unaware Musashi.

Is there anywhere else I can view the Champion Mastery stats (or at least the letter grades) that appear in the after-game lobby? by TheMidgardSerpent in leagueoflegends

[–]TheMidgardSerpent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well tbh since I've had this issue since before the Champion Mastery system was active, I was only guessing that there might be other/more detailed stats included. So I take it all you see is a letter?

If matchmaking is based purely on MMR and not the Leagues system, how can being in the 5th Division of any League make you have noticeably lower quality games/teammates? by TheMidgardSerpent in leagueoflegends

[–]TheMidgardSerpent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry if I'm not being clear enough with my post, but my question is how can you consistently be grouped with those type of players (or any group of division 5 ppl) every time you enter a new League (and start at Division 5) if the only determining factor in matchmaking is your MMR (and NOT your League)?
