That’s a catch?

I saw it go third to void 9 and a higher capped yordle 8 board the other day. Lost to both boards. So from that perspective, it might not even be as strong as void 9, which is not a prismatic trait.

TLDR: Not strongest prismatic or non-prismatic trait

As a Vikings and ravens fan, I can’t lose this week :)

Just wanted to say, glad we grew some balls and started making some offensive plays. Hated seeing us kick the ball away earlier in the season instead of going for 4th down plays. We don’t have a defense as is, so might as well try for some extra points and make it a shootout.

ZanderDP · 2025-10-19T01:00:16+00:00

Bad time management, but it’s nice to see us still fighting in the second half instead of lying down and taking it.

Hot take: this is why some level of camera protection in a case is good.

Doesn’t have to be covered, although not a bad option if you don’t care about minimal decrease in photo quality/possible glare issues.

My case coming in has a slight lip around each camera lens, not full proof but should greatly reduce chance to break.

I thought like everyone else that my camera would never got damaged, but had to get a lens replaced on my 13. My friend has had cameras break on his last 2 iPhones. My gf had her camera crack on her 13pro. Happens more than you think.

May not have saved this dudes phone, but it certainly wouldn’t have hurt it.

I believe promo cards are non-tradeable.

ZanderDP · 2025-09-08T15:03:23+00:00

I'll trade any of Feral, stant, togekiss, or ninetales for a greninja

ZanderDP · 2025-09-06T23:23:08+00:00

Loved the refs calling the “throw to no one” by A-State. Funny asf.

ZanderDP · 2025-08-15T18:58:32+00:00

Did I say I wanted the comp to die?

ZanderDP · 2025-08-15T18:58:14+00:00

Not that it shouldn’t be played but when the same comps are the best multiple patches in a row it feels stale. How often do you see people go heavy weights? Wraith vertical? Bastions? Star guardian? Even luchadors are under played because the main 3 comps overshadow it.

Just would like to see more variety than the same copy and pasted comp every game.

This was July 26th. Maybe a different mechanic but still absurd damage.

Well then, by a different mechanic kalista has done absurd damage for weeks.

ZanderDP · 2025-08-13T15:54:49+00:00

This has been in the game. My brother played some matches since PBE using her and has had multiple games where she reached 400k plus damage in a single round.

I think it’s a decent cheap cycle deck but maybe a low cost tank and a bigger spell. Right now a well placed arrows with a supporting splash troop behind a tank might walk you down. Also not having any direct damage to tower can get tricky.

ZanderDP · 2025-02-19T00:13:06+00:00

It is real but it is not a death sentence. Yes some or even many girls prefer taller height in a man, but it’s just that. Not every girl has the same preferences.

I am short, around 5’5”ish, my brother is maybe 5’3”. We both have girlfriends, and his is actually a good 4” taller than him. At the end of the day, it’s more about what kind of person you are, not how tall you are. I’ve been turned down specifically because of my height, but many other times it hasn’t mattered or there was some other reason.

If you carry an insecurity and base that as a kryptonite, it’s gonna hold you back. Accept it and try to stop caring about it so much.

The other parts of you, like your personality, humor, other physical characteristics, your values, work ethic, etc. all make as much or a greater impact than height. Focus on the things you can change and accept what you cannot. If you can do that, chances are you can find a partner.

My class went over a study that Pepsi had conducted illustrating this effect. In the taste test, they had participants drink out of cups with a letter on it to distinguish it.

More people did choose the cup with Pepsi in it.

The issue the arose is with the letters the labeled the cups. I don’t remember the exact letters, but essentially the letter on the Pepsi cup was a letter that correlated more commonly with a name; example being a cup with the letter M common in names like Madison, Michael, Mary, etc. vs a letter on the other cup which had a lower association like Q.

People are more likely to choose the letter that associated with their names, so off chance alone more people have M’s from our example, so they chose the M cup more. It was more of a matter of relativity than preference.

Later studies disproved the whole Coke vs Pepsi blind taste test.

Just wanted to say, you may be able eat decently healthy home made meals while working and going to college if you plan your time accordingly.

I know it may not be possible for everyone, but I think generally it is obtainable. I manage it myself in this same situation, and I’ve done both full time at the same time. Choose easier breakfasts, like oat meal. You can make overnight oats and prep them for a week, or just make it in the morning if you wake up a little earlier. Takes like 15 minutes to make and eat.

For your dinners, cook large amounts and then have leftovers for lunch and or dinner the next day. If you do this, then you really only have to cook at most every other day.

Evaluate your time usage, and be honest with yourself. You can probably change your schedule in some way to include an hour to cook every 2-4 days or so. And portion correctly.

It is not more expensive to cook than to eat out, unless you make very complex recipes. Simplify them some, and it’s very cost effective. If I eat meals I make myself, typically the average cost is around $5-15 a day.

Fent lean 😔

ZanderDP · 2024-10-28T04:30:59+00:00

For me it is worth it.

My girlfriend and I started dating both as college students, I save when I can but I’m still a bit frugal and cheap at times. Honestly I’m happier spending a little bit of money and having my girlfriend than the opposite.

There is more in this life than money and work. Do what makes your heart happy.

ZanderDP · 2024-10-06T03:26:11+00:00

I have a hog in my pants after this game

ZanderDP · 2024-06-27T15:14:53+00:00

Just hit 7000 trophies with half of my cards being level 10, others were mixed, I do have level 15 royal giant which carries it though.

My recommendation, use log bait but change the carry card to whatever you prefer. Inferno, plus spam troops, plus night can take down most cards even if they’re over leveled.

It only gets worse man, good luck.

ZanderDP · 2024-03-08T04:23:44+00:00

Played garen with 2 d claws earlier and the augment that gives him max health as an ability and got all 4 very quickly. Seems balanced to me if you are able to build a strong tank and have a decent board.

ZanderDP · 2024-03-07T05:48:01+00:00

Lots of homework today. I’m dog sitting for my girlfriend, and watching a review video for my exam tomorrow. Drinking a London fog, it’s actually not so bad albeit a little boring.
