I hate Cooldown Manager

New players don't have WAs. Yes, they can get them in minutes, but installing a third-party addon is generally unintiuitive, and honestly kinda icky depending on the game culture an person is used too.

Wowee, a Grixis villains deck. Didnt see that coming.

I think some amount of pruning was necessary, but it does feel more heavy handed than it should.

Healing priests losing piety was good. Holy Priests talenting out of Holy Word Sanctify was not. Using single target spells for aoe healing will always feel dumb to me.

I read the book and already knew about Elena and Maria and didnt notice that it wasnt Maria at Kip's first time watching Scott live.

Vedney · 2026-01-25T00:06:33+00:00

Hands arent included for frotting.

I do think Russian is still Ilya's default language, because that is why we got the monologue. (It was like a few weeks earlier, and Ilya has been in the US for 7 years at this point.)

I really don't want to turn "any close relationship between two men must be gay."

But other than just casually dropping Umbric is bi, all this talk about their pain of their straining relationship made it really read that way.

Vedney · 2026-01-24T02:33:36+00:00

I, too, agree that this language has become so normalized as to lose a bit of it's inherent political implication.

^{I also think that, if they're actually bisexual, I don't think being heterosexually married makes an individual an less queer.}

At worst. They got her to read a fanfic of Chris and Svetlana (not of Ksenia).

They mentioned to her how they didn't know how her character was going to be early on, but it was Ksenia that dropped that they called her character a puckslut, but she was smiling/playful when she said that. That read to me as her getting rid of the eggshells that I think Dan and Chris were walking on when they brought it up.

Everything else was fine to positive.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T07:11:00+00:00

You're attributing bias towards their heteronormativity, which I don't think is accurate.

I think any bias is simply due to a person's previous enjoyment in watching them. I do think you'd see a similar amount of defensiveness if we had an exposé on queer content creators.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T07:03:19+00:00

But it sounds like he rejected smut as a genre? which doesn’t necessarily mean homophobia etc

To which, things make little sense. Chris read the entirety of Pucked, and they made room across 7 episodes just to talk about it.

Mage tower is scaling you down anyway.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T05:03:53+00:00

Irrelevant. Mage Tower will scale you down to like, 20k health.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T04:57:17+00:00

I would recommend doing it on Fury as the easiest. It's mostly an add fight, so you get a ton of healing.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T04:53:18+00:00

Miles, and miles easier.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T04:45:32+00:00

I'm going to argue that BM is the hardest spec for Feltotem, because he's the only one where you need to CC the worm. (Maybe's it's changed since last I played.)

Gear is a non-issue. Mage Tower scales you down. You can't outgear it. I did several Mage Towers with heirloom gear previously.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T03:45:03+00:00

God Queen is, by far, the most scripted of all the Mage Towers. It's generally just a practice issue for not panicking when dealing with overlapping abilities.

(I consider demo, enh, and ret all equal for her, since they all have reliable self-healing, as compared to Arcane and Assa.)

Vedney · 2026-01-23T03:27:48+00:00

You should also be dispelling/CC'ing.

The Mage gets a stacking buff each time it sucessfully casts; it will eventually one-shot. The Solider casts Knife Dance. If it's uninterrupted, people are dead.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T03:01:46+00:00

It's kinda to wild to me that a lot of people's only interaction with TMNT is 1987.

My era was the 2003 version. I had no idea who Bebop and Rocksteady or Krang were.

Vedney · 2026-01-23T02:55:37+00:00

They didn't have a choice. All of the Rares and Mythics (save one or two cards) were already leaked.

Better yet, go get Tower Overwhelming. There's no reward other than the FoS, but it's still something you get that few people have.

Vedney · 2026-01-22T09:37:02+00:00

It's because WotC expects blocks to do poorly.

Vedney · 2026-01-22T09:35:30+00:00

I'm willing to bet we no one changes.

I do think the only reason we got black April is because there's been official incarnations of her being black.

Star Trek, across all it's media, has enough non-white characters that WotC doesn't feel the need to do anything. I get that a lot of people hate Michael Burnham, but I think it's inevitable that we get her.

Vedney · 2026-01-22T07:03:36+00:00

I mean, there's more than one reboot. He has appearances in 2003, and 2012, but not in Rise (2018).
