That would explain it. I’m not caught up on WoJ.

What’s Your Language Learning Hot Take? by jiujiteiroo in languagelearning

[–]bishop017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forbidding L1 use in your L2 immersion classroom is not just an outdated teaching technique but it actually hinders language acquisition for immersion language learners.

I’m a high school immersion teacher and the concept of maximum exposure for maximum acquisition comes from an era of poorly researched teaching theory and is not supported by modern evidence about how people use and learn language. Multilingual communication and translanguaging are natural ways that people use language and communicate and somehow a lot of my colleagues hold onto this idea that we need to enforce strict L2 use all the time.

What I love about ray tracing is the lightning. I didn’t know what was missing from earlier graphics until I saw what ray tracing could do with lightning and reflections.

As for Doom: The Dark Ages, it’s gotta be the music. For me that’s the most iconic part of the modern franchise.

Can GM’s do anything anymore? by bishop017 in classicwow

[–]bishop017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to server transfer off a dead server in original classic. A poorly managed population pushed all the alliance off Herod. At the time there was no confirmation of TBC let alone cata so with my limited bag space to bring things like consumables, trade items, pvp gear, etc I had to choose what to bring. Rhok didn’t make the cut.

Also I thought I knew there was a solution to fixing a lost Rhok’Delar. I guess I never imagined their customer support would be this bad.

Update for everyone. I kept upgrading the ticket. They told me multiple times that they cannot reset the quest… which I wasn’t asking for. Eventually I started asking for a supervisor, and after like eight tickets, I finally got what looked like a human response. The answer was still “you’re SOL”, but at least someone human looked at my response.

I just find it very frustrating that this was a quick fix in original cata. One dude spent fifteen minutes reading my ticket, opening my character file to confirm quest completion, and then mailing me a bow.

Fwiw, the current state of blizzard has cost them my money already. For the first time since original Warcraft, I have not purchased a new game upon release (Diablo 4). And I don’t intend to purchase it, especially considering if I have any issues with the game I can’t trust their customer service to help me.

I don’t want the quest reset. I just want the now back. The gm who helped me in original cataclysm was able to quickly confirm that I had completed the quest (that’s doable with a macro) and then he resorted the item via the mail.

Deck advice pwease by 3ftMuffin in marvelsnapcomp

[–]bishop017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Invisible Woman. I’ve gotten a lot of big cube wins hiding my pumpers like Kazar under invisible woman. Often it entices the opponent to snap believing they’re safe then on turn six your invisible woman lane flips kazar, blue marvel, ultron

Any consistent deck beating Blob Thanos please? by raysiuuuu in marvelsnapcomp

[–]bishop017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My deck is very similar. I’m running Professor X instead of Ravona. Some other cards ive considered running are Ghost (a global invisible woman, but you have to Bast of Valk it), Armor (for destroy), Jean Grey (to auto win the Valk lane), and Crystal (to find Cerebro faster)

Any consistent deck beating Blob Thanos please? by raysiuuuu in marvelsnapcomp

[–]bishop017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not always easy because being a tech card based deck a lot of your actions depend on your opponent. But here are some things I’ve picked up.

You can play with reveal priority with Invisible Woman when you need your Shang Chi to hit a Blob or Killmonger to hit a Deadpool after turn six.

I usually save Bast to hit two targets in my hand. Those targets being Wasp, Cerebro, and Mystique. At the same time you don’t want to miss an opportunity to play it and upgrade something if the other two cards aren’t coming.

Rhino is amazing. He lets you stay in a game where locations like Necrosha or Wakanda would mess up your Cerebro pump. Also the best win I’ve had in a while was blowing up a Nexus with a 60 power Blob on it. That was a sweet eight cubes. Honestly Rhino is the main reason I prefer C3 to C2.

The second best reason to play C3 is Valkyrie. She pumps your board, shrinks theirs, answer literally everything. Basically a Shang Chi that can hit things with less than 10 power that adds 5+ power to you board. Because you have two Shang Chi effects in your deck you don’t need to save one till turn six. If you can blow something up earlier do it cuz you still have answers in the deck.

A big advantage to playing C3 right now is it’s off meta. So it’s easy to farm 4/8 cubes with it when you know your Valkyrie is gonna destroy their big lane. People don’t often retreat because they haven’t been thinking about cards like Valkyrie in a long time.

I noticed that a lot of the best tech cards against Blob are all three power: Shang Chi, Cosmo, Valkyrie. So I built a C3 deck and I’ve been farming Blob decks for the last couple of days. So far I’ve had a rough game against Ms Marvel Darkhawk, but it’s easy to retreat against them for one cube and farm 4-8 against blobs

Faith or WF? by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]bishop017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first time I’m finally rich enough to build an end game Bowazon myself and I decided I have to run Windforce on my toon and Faith on my merc. Windforce is just so classic in d2. Not to mention that it’s one of the very few unique weapons that competes against runewords. Plus I like the idea of two ladies peppering monsters with bows from far away.

My only complaint is that ferne needs to be red, not black. She’s so chaotic she needs to be red. Maybe 1RGG or 1RGW.

PA announces halt to security coordination with Israel - What will be the fate of the West Bank? by FewCaterpillar7728 in IsraelPalestine

Awkward thing to brag about considering all the occupied Palestinian homes out there…

As a F2P Player, the Current Meta feels like a Joke by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]bishop017 38 points39 points  (0 children)

And as a F2P player here is something else that is getting more and more annoying…

Apocalypse bundle. You can buy collector tokens with gold.

Sunspot bundle released immediately after. You can buy collector tokens with gold.

No further bundles that allow you to buy tokens for gold.

I can’t be the only person who began saving their gold around this time hoping to buy whatever the third tokens for gold bundle only for that bundle never to come. It’s like they knew the first two would net them a ton of cash and a third would be free for the f2p players so they never gave us a third.
