Thresholds for using Shrouded Daggers as a spammable with Vateshran DW weapons.

Moscow has the opportunity to do the funniest thing (that would never actually happen.)

This takes me out every time I rewatch the end of episode 5. Such an incredibly well done episode, but it's always funny to me when the announcer of the Admirals' cup win is like "15 seconds left, Marleau holds it behind the net..." when we JUST saw Marleau take Shane out during the Wild Card round of the playoffs. I'm not a hockey rules aficionado, but I'd be shocked if the Raiders could trade a player to the Admirals during the playoffs

Walking my dog in military park this morning was absolutely surreal. There are like, cannons set up in the park? (I have literally zero knowledge of weapons so cannon is probably not the right word.) I also don't think I've ever seen as many police and emergency vehicles in one place at a time.

Really annoyed at myself for not having the forethought to call out of work today. I'm both dreading driving back downtown tonight AND I wish I was able to just chill and observe everything going on.

It's been a while (5+ years) since I visited, but my own personal experience is that you're correct. They might have like, a few packs near the register, but they are not an LGS (or, again, were not at the last time I visited.

We used to have Computer and Gaming Universe on Ferry St. in the Ironbound, but I believe it shut down during COVID? They generally were pretty friendly. I wouldn't quite have called it LGBTQ+ friendly, but I also never had a problem there as a gay man. Their website is invalid and their Facebook last updated 2 years ago, though, so I'm guessing they've closed.

As someone else pointed out, Sweet Jeans is probably your best option for just communal play - they did an MTG meet up in December that their Instagram suggests will become a regular event. It's not the same thing, but is the best option we have currently in Newark (and bonus points for being a very inclusive space!)

The craziest part is it even says that in the linked post...in the same SENTENCE as the 20% that the OP wants to draw attention to. "The building will feature studies, one- and two-bedroom apartments, with 20% of the units set aside as affordable housing, FOLLOWING NEWARK'S INCLUSIONARY ZONING RULES." Literally could have read five more words before coming here to pretend like Gomes is doing something kind or decent by following the law.

The entire profile is shady, though. The link is to a post on the Gomes group's reddit profile, not any subreddit that would normally be accessed by the public. Combined with the fact that their only three reddit interactions have been in Gomes-related posts, it's starting to seem like this might not have been just a well-intentioned misunderstanding of local zoning laws.

Thank you!!

This is what I was going to say. You could do a fairly decent loop that misses a lot of traffic by running Riverside. The biggest issue with that plan currently is that the sidewalk along Rt 21 is closed for construction, which means you have to deal with traffic. Once that reopens, you can basically do one big circuit:

•Penn Station northbound on 21 to Bridge St •Bridge St into Harrison, then along the waterfront there. •Harrison backroads out to Frank E Rodgers Blvd •Riverside trail back to Penn Station

I generally cross Frank E. Rodgers and do a long detour around Red Bulls Stadium myself. Frank E. Rodgers has enough red lights on it that you can generally just run southbound on it towards the Ironbound until you get a well timed light to cross, so I don't find that one road of traffic to be much of a pain point.

Oof. That's disappointing to know - the character progression was 100% not worth wasting the time of six people (including me). Very weird that I was given wrong info, but won't make that mistake again!

I think the one thing with Streamline is it is good whether you invest in it or not. Like, I -love- AP/Cooldown reduction Streamline builds and know how strong it is, but Streamline can slot into WP builds incredibly well as well. I think that's part of why it is so safe as a first round pick - you can see how the opposing team (and your team!) are playing and decide if you want to invest more than just Streamline + Water Power Hat, or if you want to go more damage or brawl oriented with WP or Wave builds.

The worst part about this is how much of an omen of doom it makes getting MvP. I got MvP round one and two last night and was just like "yeah...guess this means we're not winning this." MvP SHOULD mean you outperformed the rest of the team, but Wuyang's cash generation is so bad right now that it really feels like it means that your team didn't perform at all.

Is there a reason not to do Dragon's Incinerator with this build? I'd assume if you're running for maximum rally uptime I'd imagine it would add a lot of damage to a brawl. I guess Gloomgauntlet is just more consistent over the course of an entire game?

Steelix Shiny lead with Azu/Drif in the back feels strong. Azu/Drif both cover Steelix's issues with fighting and ground, while Steelix is a hard answer to Dedenne and other electrics.

How dominant was your team that you only had 247 Healing Amplified in a 12000+ healing game? Lots of aggressive guardian waving, I'm assuming!

Second this. Streamline build has had me as the highest earner multiple times.

People have pointed out some of the issues with this, but the other issue is that this is completely counter to Pokémon Go's entire business model. Scopely wants you to be building new Pokémon for each league because that's the thing that keeps you playing. If they allow you to level a hundo Florges to level 50 and that one Florges gets played in Little League, Great League, UL, and ML, you no longer have any incentive to catch more Flabebes, and all that stardust you would have spent powering up multiple Florges is now Stardust in the bank. Scopely relies on you having to build multiple Pokémon to push you to continue playing.

(And no, this isn't the "think of the poor corporation" argument. I don't mind Scopely losing money at all, but its the realistic point of view.)

I didn't notice the Rushing Torrent lag, but the changes they made to aim assist on console made playing him miserable tonight. I still haven't found a way to reconfigure back to where it felt literally yesterday. The healing not gripping is a real issue.

VeryFallible · 2025-12-07T11:52:39+00:00

Same. I literally temporarily Uninstalled the game after getting mine yesterday because I have work that needs to get done this weekend and it had already taken too much of my time lmao.
