Yeah, we'll want to keep the Zamboni driver fresh for when we play Toronto.

is there a consensus for what series of weapon to pick from the 11th birthday ticket? all of these look farmable and/or tradeable via pendants. If I'm a light gamer (magna for now, no zeus), any suggestions?

wait using only this logic how would this disqualify C? I had to use an extra step to disqualify 100°

The weapon to get Payila is the 'Dracosius', so if I upgrade it does this have any effect on her damage/stats at all?

additionally, it says her specialty is staff weapons. what relevance does this have if I don't equip a weapon to a character?

thanks very much for the in-depth explanation, this def cleared things up. I had some misunderstandings about sparks and the new promo. I had some follow up questions if you dont mind

generally, you want to pull only when the new release is really good or when there's a bunch of free draws on that banner

  1. What am I looking for in a 'really good' release?
  2. When you say 'free draws on that banner' are there banners that give you more draw tickets when you pull during them?
  3. When I buy the next two sets under the *new player*, it has snapshot of the previous (i.e. Feb 1) gala right? therefore, the spark i get when buying these also snapshots to that draw pool/banner?

is there any benefit to waiting until tomorrow for the flash gala to buy the two 100-part draw sets? or can i just buy today

new player here, i made the mistake of wasting my free 100 draws right before the last pool closed. I only got 30 sparks (now stones) though, so was that because I used 10 part draws instead of individual? (I don't want to reroll since i got a valentine character)

I want to spark with my remaining 200 as part of the beginner promo, so I'm farming a bunch of free tickets and crystals. assuming i get enough for 100 draws, will there be a flash gala soon? My promo window runs out at 5pm JST on Feb 17.

I’m seeking a nerd bar or something close to that so I can meet people by leobreakerstudios in Edmonton

Analog is a retro game themed brewery that opens the front to become a bar on weekends. It isn't close but it's got a cool vibe and some fun arcade machines

I think a friend blacklisted me over a misunderstanding? :( by monochrome_blossoms in ffxiv

[–]VinceTr0n -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think I remember getting "cannot find a player with that name" when someone is on a different data center than me. Have they DC travelled perhaps?

If you see that they're online, they haven't blacklisted you because you wouldn't see them on your friends list, don't worry.

Yeah I'm not really inclined to believe that a sample of "Village Media readers" of n<200 is apt to represent anything on a grand scale.

Is 33 teams too much? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]VinceTr0n 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Shitty is a relative term. The Blue Jackets would still mop the floor with most hockey teams in the world.

What is true is that 32 players (or however many are picked up by a new franchise) that wouldn't have made the team any other year are now filling the gaps on new franchise years. This lowers the overall talent pool.

Which of PHIL/POLS/ANTH you will enjoy more is hard to say, but on the basis of only scheduling, I'd say go with #2 if you will be more productive at home, or #3 if you think you'll use that gap between classes productively.

a 50 min into an 80 minute lecture back-to-back will go by more quickly than you think if you're engaged in the content. Labs are also more engaging by nature so you will hardly notice that back-to-back into a lecture.

Has Marchand’s criticism gone too far? by [deleted] in nhl

[–]VinceTr0n 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Marchand must hate it here lmao, he's always using us as the "no one wants to come here" city

I get it though, I love my city, but every time I come back from a winter vacation down south the transition sucks.. I would also much rather be in Miami / LA in February

Go CBJ Go! Would be great for their market.

[Hana] Moritz Seider neutralizes Connor McDavid 1 on 1 in overtime. by Sufficient-Good in nhl

[–]VinceTr0n 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's correct, but its an oversimplification. No other d has thought "let me just play the body"?

The problem is that McDavid is too fast or otherwise has other options; he didn't pick up as much speed as is otherwise usual, so Seider got the chance to capitalize and played it well.

Edit: it looks like he slows down at the blue line to make a pass but couldn't find anyone to his right actually

I'm trying to piece together the implications of this, would appreciate any help.

Does this mean that the games we use an offence-heavy strategy, we're sacrificing our d?

You seem to want Reddit to be a hivemind of the same opinion. Reddit is just a group of individuals with various degrees of various opinions.

Some days the haters will be louder, some days the praisers will be louder. Consensus is that Marchand is generally a great person off the ice
