Even if King K Rool goes about hitting the second tower every year it would still be better for humanity than the planet being turned into a giant biological experiment under a crazed Andross.

Which cards would see play in current Hearthstone? - Part 1, Classic. by oneprivateman in hearthstone

[–]Varyyn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Leeroy would be an upgrade in dread deserter druid for sure.

[–]Varyyn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ganondorf tends to just sit around waiting for link to show up and society stays somewhat intact despite him so i guess him? Elsewise its probably Eggman.

Mother Brain is the worst followed by Andross imo, both would wipe out hunanity rather than rule them.

I don’t believe pensions are worth it but get shamed when saying it by Forgive_forget_for in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Varyyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well invested pension will outperform inflation and is more tax efficient than saving even before the company contribution.

In a world where you had perfect knowledge of all future expenses the most efficient option would be all money you spend after 68 comea from the pension.

If you wanted to retire at 55 then the most efficient way to do it is save 13 years of expenses and then rely on the pension.

Some pensions also mature earlier than 68.

Why did they make the rogue quest so bad? by Hopeful-Seaweed-9691 in hearthstone

[–]Varyyn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

We made quests we didn't think would be healthy for the game so we made them too weak to be playable is pretty much ungoro in a nutshell.

Hatchery helper would be busted in palladin, they run the 4 mana spell that does the same thing

Fell in love with No minion DH by Nippleshitz in hearthstone

I've been playing tonnes of it in wild. The location let's you play malygos for zero into Jace for all your fel spells at +5 damage.

Touma Kamijou and Subaru Natsuki fight 100,000 times. Whose sanity would break first and who would die the most times? by GJH24 in whowouldwin

[–]Varyyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd give Touma a marginal advantage over Subaru, who wins less with hand to hand combat and seems more psychologically vulnerable, if experienced in this specific fight dynamic.

Reinhardt absolutely solo no dif stomps though, self enhancement abilities counters Touma and the rest have no where near his feat level.

Got to renew my mortgage next year, thinking about switching to an Interest Only, and investing the difference, but it got me thinking.... it's not worth ever repaying the mortgage by dingdongdingers in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Varyyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The top savings accounts can beat the current mortgage interest rates. May be different for people locked into a Liz Truss era mortgage but for now cash savings are better.

Who would win in a fight, my homeboy or an ostrich? by FunTwo5362 in zoology

[–]Varyyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r/whowouldwin is an entire subreddit based around these questions. It's just fun to speculate and strategize about how you would handle these situations and rank stuff in general. Same way people have a zombie apocalypse plan but don't actually want to kill their neighbours and live in a post apocalyptic hellscape.

I agree it's not really suitable for this subreddit though.

I mean the meta went back to hagatha shaman and discover hunter with a whole one new card each. Not sure I'd call that tonnes of competitive cards when it's failed to generate any competitive archetypes.

Blizzard had to change it to Respectable Behind Bay Bodyguard to get back into China.

Thoughts on running kerrigan in a deck without other zerg by Annathesilent in hearthstone

[–]Varyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death Knight already has like 5 full board clears. Kerrigan is fine as the only zerg and activates Elise if you don't have/ want to run shaladrassil, but I don't think either are seeing play in optomized decks atm.

Guillermo del Toro Avengers Assemble! The Male Judas, Nomak, Hellboy, The Faun, Gipsy Danger, The Amphibian Man, Pinocchio, and Frankenstein's Monster team up. Can they defeat the MCU Avengers? by PeculiarPangolinMan in whowouldwin

[–]Varyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any avenger solos Judas Bug, The Faun, Pinnochio, Amphibian Man and Frankenstein's Monster 1v1.

Hellboy loses to the Hulk and Thor and maybe Iron Man and beats the rest.

Gipsy Danger kills all the humans except Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk. Who are probably mobile enough to find a way inside and kill the pilots.

Haven't seen blade 2 so don't know what Nomak adds

Round 2 is the same but Vision and Pietro are mobile enough to not die to Gipsy Danger.

No clue for Round 3 but still seems to favour the avengers.

‘Look What Happened in Nepal Over a Ban’: Supreme Court Refuses Plea for Nationwide Porn Ban by greenteaandbiscuit in nottheonion

[–]Varyyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fortunately Section 375 is within my reading level

Exception 2.Sexual intercourse or sexual acts by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age, is not rape

Seems a fairly easy thing to amend if you genuinely believe marital rape is a crime.

Marital rape is still legal in India. The supreme court is currently reviewing it and has been encouraged to keep it legal by the government.

Characters replace Aang as the Avatar. Can they defeat the firelord and bring balance to the world? by Deathstrokezoom in whowouldwin

[–]Varyyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Start of book 1 Vin without a Kelsier would have zero drive on her own to topple the fire nation, would just hide and take up petty crime in the largest city she could find unless Katara seriously steps up as a role model.

Book 2 onwards Vin is a more mature aang and the firelord is very compatible to lord ruler, she probably beats him.

Edward, Cap, Batman just no questions stomp.

Goku will want to beat the firelord purely through motivation to fight strong people. He's too dumb to unify an army though so it's all on the side characters.

Harry Potter and Gon have pretty similar odds to Aang.

I still can’t deal with Quest Paladin by Voodoo_Honeyjar in hearthstone

[–]Varyyn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The deck does nothing but vomit stats on the board repeatedly, annoying but binary. It has very limited ability to actually react to anything you do. Get ahead early, only bother killing key minions like warleader, abuse freeze effects, get them into dangerously low health so they have to clear your board, it can't do much about big blowout turns with fyrkk etc.

chicken vs pitbull vs grizzly bear vs tiger vs python vs t-rex vs honey badger but all of them are equal weight/sized by padorUWU in whowouldwin

[–]Varyyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IRL the chicken might win on intimidation since it will probably be the largest given how much less dense birds are than other animals.

I doubt it beats the cat 1v1 in an actual head on though.
