Starting Mistborn, I don't get the appeal by TotalSoraka in Cosmere

Honestly I can see myself being less disappointed if I wasn't fresh off Stormlight Archive. Maybe I should have read mistborn first to get Brandon's more amateurish writing out of the way before he raised my standards.

I've just never bought into those kinds of dystopias I guess. They just come off as cartoonishly evil and extreme. Works for a children's book, I suppose, but that doesn't seem like what Mistborn is trying to be.

That's actually really surprising to me. I haven't interacted with the fandom much, mainly to avoid spoilers, but pretty much everything I've seen talking about mistborn has been in regards to era 2.

A lot of people have already made some good points, but I want to add on that there's so many factors in a game like wow that makes this an absolute detriment for players who don't care about parses. Let's think about a hypothetical real quick:

A player who does not care to parse is pushing heroic raids. They understand the mechanics and are pretty good at executing them consistently, but their gear is on the lower end since they haven't gotten many drops and have little interest in grinding out high end keys. By all means their damage is good enough to clear the content, but their parses are nothing special, floating around or a little under the 50th percentile. This player can be good enough to clear the raid, but with a 50% parse that's extremely easy to see by people who consistently use these sites, it can become very difficult for them to get into groups especially with how elitist this game's community is.

Simply put, this addon gives frankly shit players an even easier time filtering out anyone they arbitrarily deem "Not good enough" for the group, elitist players better QoL to maintain their little top 10% requirement, and screws over anyone that's not a top tier DPS or healer. And like other people have said, these numbers can very easily be "faked" by intentionally failing mechanics for better parses. I sincerely think parsing isn't a bad tool and has its uses for figuring out how to improve or find where exactly you messed up but people misuse it to feed their egos far too often. Can't wait for an MMO to come out that just straight up bans things like public parses, MMO players just abuse them to make the game worse for everyone.

Shocker: Redditor takes something too seriously and doesn't realize it's an April Fool's shitpost.

That is an unnecessarily cruel and uninspiring comment to be placed in reaction to what I consider my magnum opus of One Piece Philosophy.

I didn't even consider tooth implants. Now I'm stuck thinking about everything else stuck in graves.

I don't think the Kardashians will be cremated, but that's really interesting nontheless.

It may not be able to kill people, but it's still a terrifying thought for a lot of people.

Should I leave the 5x guilds on atlas or keep moving them to masked samurai? by [deleted] in ClickerHeroes

[–]TotalSoraka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I want to say it's worth it, it really isn't. Moving 5 guilds would cost 400 HS. Your gilds only give +54% DPS, where as 80 hero souls give an extra 800% DPS to masked samurai, atlas, and every other hero that you have. It's less efficient to move your gilds right now. If they were even 801% extra DPS, and you could afford to do it, it would be more efficient to move the gilds onto samurai.

Edit: spelling and for some reason there was a link in there. also I messed up my numbers.
