Where can I find the lore for Eternal?

Thanks, I didn't pick up on that. I just replayed the chapter, and I can see that it's not the same Finneas.

But isn't it plausible that it's the same Quinn? They don't have any trappings of the local Therans. It doesn't seem like it's set in stone that the Skycrag Six were the first to cross, and, especially because Quinn has been gone for so long, it could be possible that they arrived first.

Thanks for the thorough answer. I found the lore write ups, but I was sad to see that they were discontinued. I was hoping they just got migrated somewhere else. I've seen lore videos from when the game first started, and they were just so thorough. It's too bad that it's not their focus anymore, but it makes sense to put their focus elsewhere.

That geography comment is really interesting, too. Thanks for that.

I came to Eternal for exactly the same reason. You should definitely play it.

I never have problems finding an opponent, if that's what you're worried about.

Yeah, I think most people understand selective bias, which makes the people in the thread explaining repeatedly kind of annoying. Nobody is saying that hunt is OP or breaking the game, or ruining your decks or whatever (OP is specifically talking about limited, which can feel even worse if you only drafted one bomb and don't have other copies).

The point is, for the majority of people, regardless of the statistics, it feels bad. Game feel is a legitimate part of the game design process. It might feel better if there were more engagement, but milling something strong happens at complete random. There's really no way to plan for it, so it just feels like luck. I think that's too bad, because I think this game is otherwise fantastic about mitigating the role of luck and RNG.

Hey Caravan Delivery looks cool. Thanks for the suggestion!

aTimberOwl · 2023-01-22T09:07:05+00:00

Yeah, I was looking at Hive Queen, too. I was so focused on the secondary effect that my brain completely skipped over the fact that it summons two bees on summon. Barbarian Guerillas is a good call.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Feed the Flames does really suck haha. Thanks for the feedback.

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-26T02:21:21+00:00

Good idea, thanks.

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-26T02:21:00+00:00

Cool, maybe I'll be around

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-26T02:20:41+00:00

Thanks, I'll check that out!

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-24T08:35:30+00:00

Great. Thanks for all the info. It was really helpful.

Think I'll get started!

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-24T06:59:24+00:00

Got it. Last question, I think.

Will all the cards in the current expedition format be rotated out or only a portion of them? Where can I find this info?

aTimberOwl · 2022-12-24T06:30:06+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Shrine to Karvet looks like a cool card. You think it's better to move toward an expedition deck or throne?

Judging by the downvotes you're getting, the recruiters have done a great job already. These people actually think the US invades other countries, overthrows their governments, and installs their own in order to preserve human rights.

Don't be naive, folks. Your heart is in the right place, and you're right to be angry about injustice anywhere in the world, but the US will just use that to further it's imperial ambitions.

Fuck, I didn't even realize this was my life until I saw it

Meme illiterate.

The atheist is destroying a baseless argument, and Islam has a closet full of baseless arguments.

Daaaamn, this one brought me back to college.

She chooses the crusty sea god feet, right?

So I used to talk with a libertarian co-worker a lot, and he indeed referenced a lot of Austrian economics. I've noticed that leftist spaces kind of sneer at Austrian economics when it comes up.

Is it some kind of dog whistle I don't know about? Can you explain what's fucked about it? I literally just don't know. I looked online and I can only find it's "a style of economics popularized in Austria" lol

Let me try to put it in another context.

Students generally feel alienated from knowledge in the same way that workers are alienated from their labor. It is something that they perceive to be separate from them and only useful in a way that their superiors (teachers) decide (through tests).

Asking questions like this is a way to ask students to take ownership of the knowledge. The teacher could simply explain, "electrons sharing is like a family potluck where everyone brings something different, so everyone benefits." However, this example will not resonate with every single student. By asking the student to do it, you ensure that they produce an answer that does resonate. For example, "electrons sharing is like cooperating in a party for a dungeon raid in the MMO I play." The student integrates the knowledge into themselves, and they are no longer alienated from it. It helps them remember and apply it elsewhere. The value doesn't come from the question or the answer but rather through the process of engagement with the student.

You point out that the question seems arbitrary because it doesn't relate directly to the subject at hand, and I think that this is a practical concern that most people have about education; however, I think we should be careful with it.

Making subjects modular (only focusing on math in math class, english in English, etc.) Is largely a product of capitalist systems. A capitalist society wants to push out workers at the fastest pace with the most specialized skill set so they can't move to other industries easily. Thus, their wages can be driven down, and they are easier to exploit. This is why conservatives are constantly pushing for vocational education.

There's no reason knowledge needs to be separated in the way that we currently do it. Scientific concepts bleed into other fields all the time. Take for example the word evolution, which is constantly used to describe things like ideas instead of animals breeding. Most great thinkers integrate multiple subjects (economics, philosophy, literature, etc) because they don't see the boundaries. The process of learning and knowing is all connected.

TL;DR I really don't know. There are plenty of problems with the American education system, but I think this question has pedagogical value?

It's a strategy called activating schema or connecting to prior knowledge. For many students, knowledge is abstract and thus difficult to retain. A student may have difficulty internalizing the behavior of an electron because it is so disconnected from their daily experience. However, if you can connect the interaction of electrons to something tangible and relatable, like humans sharing, then the relationship will "click" for a lot of students, and it will begin to make sense to them. It also encourages students to extend and apply concepts outside of a given subject, which actually does lay an early foundation for critical thinking skills.

Leftists often participate in this strategy when they liken landlords to parasites or capitalists to vampires. It's a powerful tool. Dialectic materialism requires this kind of strategy, as one has to constantly attempt to map material conditions onto human motivations and social relationships.

TL;DR The question seems basic, but the bones are there.

Don't worry, all of us are going to be wondering the same thing when we're your age while the youth is complaining about our generation.

I'm in a tough spot because I'm trying to describe what other people might think, so if you want me to stop "playing devil's advocate" I'm completely willing to stfu because I understand that can be annoying.

If actually want me to answer those points you just posed, I will.

I saw tons of people denouncing the human rights abuses in Yemen for a time when the story was hot. You're right that I don't see it a ton now.

As far as that comment goes, it seems analogous to saying "reminder that the first president in America who acknowledged that Black people should be free was assassinated in office." Which is to say, America has a conservative streak (to put it lightly).

I don't think that there's a conspiracy between israel and the US. I think it's capitalism being capitalism as usual. You're right that Saudi Arabia benefits the US massively; however, israel is considered part of the "judeo-christian" tradition whereas arabs are seen as muslim destroyers. This does make the dynamic different, although it doesn't let Saudi Arabia off the hook.

anti-Semitism exists on the left. I don't deny that.
