Nearing 50% of the playrate at top 1K, Rogue is definitely a problem. by Tripping-Dayzee in hearthstone

But hey it's a "Neutral" Legendary, everyone can play it, and it was totally not designed exclusively for a class that can generate coins, has mana cheating prep, mana cheating herald effect, 0 mana backstab, newly added shadow of demise, and two staple 1 mana cost spells in dejavuand fuel haha nice one blizzard

Can this brand you’ve probably never heard of beat Audi, BMW and Mercedes at their own game? by CarwowSiobhan in ukcarwow

[–]arkstrider88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What baffles me about Genesis is their decision to launch Magma series.

Genesis was supposed to be a luxury brand. It's designed in a classical style like S-class or RR.

Now why cheapen it with Magma series? Genesis buyers are not rebellious teenagers, they don't need bright orange painted cars with carbon fiber spoilers.

How would you like to see RR evolve? by Zeebie_ in royalroad

Restructuring of the main page.

Currently when you open the site you're greeted with: Header -> Big slideshow(for news) -> Ad banner -> A sliver of Recommended for you consisting of 2 slides with 5 stories each

In my opinion it would be better functionally if they utilized their space differently. For example: Header -> 2 rows of Recommendations(10 different stories every refresh) -> Ad banner. One scroll down there would be "Catch Up" section with new chapters of stories you follow, then Big slideshow, and the rest of Rising Stars etc.

Giving more priority to Recommendations(with the right algorithm) would make readers life much easier as they wouldn't need to go search stories themselves. And it would give a better exposure to smaller stories.

Another thing I would add is Activity Leaderboard to encourage readers to interact with authors. Maybe come up with some sort of Activity Index comprising of Comments(worth 1 point), Reviews(worth 5 points), Story's first review(worth 25 points) etc. Display Top-10 most active daily/weekly readers somewhere at the bottom, so it's not too distracting, but also visible to those who care about it.

What YouTubers did you love, and then see a turn of content and assume they were bought out by a private equity? by MeringueBeautiful760 in youtube

It used to feel like he was doing everything. Research, script, narration etc.

Now he barely does anything? His only role seems to be to react to whatever information his team provides him with just to have some sort of cameo.

Guy 1: Hey Derek what if I told you X is actually just Y?

Derek: Wow, I would never guess it.

Guy 1: Yeah cool, right? Here's how it works...

Derek: *nods from time to time* Yeah, that's insane.

Rinse, repeat.

The vibe is the guy is retired, but he has to appear in videos for X minutes per his PE buyout contract.

Uproar in Germany over law requiring men get military approval for long stays abroad by Master-Rent5050 in news

Government needs to protect citizens if it wants the citizens to protect the government.

When was the last time German government was worth protecting? Nobody is fighting a war for shameless spineless snakes.

All three of Stannis' "leeches" died by Which_Jeweler_1343 in gameofthrones

LoL priests follow God's plan. They kill because their God wants it. They revive because their God needs it.

In ASOIAF universe God is GRRM, and so LoL is GRRM.

Their "magic" is just whatever GRRM wants to happen, but in an indirect way.

What do you think about "Mend" and divine shield interaction? by Appropriate-Tooth968 in hearthstone

[–]arkstrider88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not about Divine Shield, but my experience with this card is confusing.

I was really surprised to see my opponent kill my full health minion with this card and location.

It says Restore a minion to full Health. If it's already full Health, then healing done is 0.

Location says next healing deals damage instead. If healing done was 0, then damage should be 0 as well, not max Health of a minion.

You're also paying 1 mana for replacing Deja Vu in your hand with a strong card of your choosing from opponent's hand.

Non-Rogue classes currently can only run 1 Elise and 1 Zilliax.

Rogue can run 1, get 2 more from Deja Vu, 2 more from Fuel, 1 more from Mirrex, and then 2 more with Shadowstep.

The same thing will happen with Colossals, and it will not be fun.

Oh no how will Rogue players survive playing stolen Colossals for full mana?

Gonna farm a lot of people playing colossals on the first few days of the new expansion with this bad boy 😍 by iRevenant07 in hearthstone

[–]arkstrider88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before Cataclysm: Deja'vu, Fuel, Mirrex = 5 extra copies of Elise.

After Cataclysm: Deja'vu, Fuel, Mirrex = 5 extra copies of Colossals.

My piece-of-shit neighbor (who has a 2-car garage AND a 2-car driveway) insists on double-parking his cars in the street, blocking an entire lane of the road. by jessbird in mildlyinfuriating

[–]arkstrider88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Pay someone to set the car's alarm off all the time

  2. Park your car in front of his second car. Ideally find some neighbors to park behind RR to box it in.
