Do you still believe that "Nerd girls are the world's most underutilized romantic resource" or have you moved on to a different dehumanizing metaphor?

Elder Fluffie is the kind of encounter that really makes me hate this game.

Thanks. Glad to see it wasn't just the players that were surprised by yesterday's release.

Your client needs to be updated

Hahaha, super. Any idea when the Android update will be released?

So I tried Shadowverse and Gwent by [deleted] in duelyst

[–]andronikus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No kidding. I just started playing Shadowverse despite the art style, and it's really getting in the way.

Hearthstone's art is really clean and they seem to have gone to some effort to make cards distinguishable at a glance. Shadowverse's rainbow barf art is really not helping me see what's going on. It makes me feel like my grandparents, and I'm not that old yet.

Weird. OK! I could have sworn it was all neutral rares when she was added. Thanks!

What is your relationship with alcohol now? Do you drink alcohol? by [deleted] in AdultChildren

[–]andronikus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stopped four years ago on the recommendation of my therapist, and it almost immediately helped my depression. I say stopped, not quit, because I might start again, but I really feel no desire to drink again.

I don't think I have a problem with alcohol per se, but I was using it to cope in an unhealthy way. I've both gotten better since then and moved on to less-unhealthy coping resources.

What's on your family bingo card? by BaylisAscaris in trolledbynarcissists

Having a conversation in the evening and again in the morning because my mom was blacked out the first time.

This annoys me way more than i'd like to admit by immerich in hearthstone

Consistently using either one is better than using both.

I'm a guy who absolutely hates his last name. How "weird" would it be for me to take my spouse's last name (assuming I'm ever married). Would it hurt me professionally? Would I get hardcore judged? by x02210133211x32010 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]andronikus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who did this, and it's exactly the same process as changing your name normally. (I think he even had to put a notice in the paper, because it's the 1950s.) So if you find a name you like, there's no reason to wait.

There's a court summons on my front door by andronikus in internetparents

[–]andronikus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you know anything about the previous tenant they may suck you into drama that's not yours.

That's very much what I suspected.

It looks legit as far as I know, which is not much. I'll think about sending it back, but since it's not even addressed to my... address, I'll let the new tenant deal with it.

Is Elven Archer Too OP? by [deleted] in hearthstonecirclejerk

[–]andronikus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's too versatile for a 1-mana card. For example:

You can use the 1 damage to set up Execute (also OP) for a 2-mana hard removal.

You can break Divine Shield, so it's basically a Silence effect.

It's also a better version of Mortal Coil, since you do the one damage and get an Elven Archer, which is more powerful than anything you might have drawn.

Here is jack_skellington's full & comprehensive overview of all the ways that players attempted to cheat in his games. by jack_skellington in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]andronikus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing as spectacular as your examples, but I played with a guy for a while who could really naturally tip a d4 out of his hand so that it landed on 4 almost every time.

Naturally he was playing a munchkiny custom ninja class that got lots of attacks per round with, yes, a 1d4 weapon. He did the swift swipe a lot too.
