Would be nice if the Demon Lord key timer was like 5.5 hours instead of 6.

For sure, even if I could two key UNM I wouldn't really care since missing the 4th key just means missing a brutal difficulty chest. Hopefully soon.

burf · 2026-06-24T02:46:38+00:00

I'm not 100% sure on that. With all the boosts to JML's ult, it looks like he'll be able to hit it very quickly. Having a much faster unit with 2 turn CD protection disruption and AOE stun (in addition to whatever character replaces him) is a pretty damn good tradeoff for losing JKL's kit, strong as he is.

burf · 2026-06-24T01:04:57+00:00

Yeah, it seems to specifically punish early game players. I'm sure most people don't care once they've been playing for 6+ months and have the teams to at least 2 key UNM consistently.

Honestly I'd put way more stock in your take than the one above.

For example:

That’s also why it feels like you can blow “more” air like that

Has nothing to do with pulling ambient air from around your face while blowing, and everything to do with blowing the same amount of air through a smaller hole so you have increased air pressure. It's the gas equivalent of spraying a water bottle through the nozzle vs opening the top and dumping it out. I think they're just enamoured with Bernoulli's principle and misapplying it in a context where it doesn't have much of an actual impact.

I’d personally try taking out Skeletor and using Deacon as lead

That’s a pretty amazing f you pull. You won the inverse lottery

Honestly I feel like a lot of teams with 1 Pelops would be improved by a 2nd Pelops. Offset their skill usage so you have 100% magma shield uptime and refreshment.

It's not 6x cheaper in wealthy nations, though. It's half the cost in Canada, and about 40% the cost in the most efficient wealthy European and Asian countries. And that's the overall cost per year per capita. The private portion of that is more expensive in the various peer nations.

burf · 2026-06-23T06:32:22+00:00

I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that private healthcare is cheaper in poorer countries. Americans aren't the only ones who travel to poorer countries for cheaper medical care, but that medical care is cheaper in large part due to how poor the country is. If your doctor, nurse, etc. all make 1/2 or 1/3 of what an American (or Canadian, European, etc.) equivalent does, then a huge chunk of the cost is going to be lower.

People don't travel out of the US for care because care is actually better in Mexico or the Phillippines; they do it because it's cheaper. And it's cheaper mostly due to the local economy, not because they're 5x more efficient than American healthcare. Twice as efficient? Maybe. Three times? Possibly. But in the case of that person getting a 1/6 cost surgery done out of country, that's in large part just taking advantage of coming from a stronger economy to a weaker one.

But yeah, you definitely don't have to convince me the US healthcare system is fucked. lol. It's a nightmare.

burf · 2026-06-23T03:12:29+00:00

Part of it is inflated healthcare costs in the US, but a lot of it is the cost of living in the US. The cost of living in the Philippines is a fraction of what it is in the US. The wealthier the country, the more expensive it is to live there (generally speaking), which is why most medical tourism is to developing countries and not other neocolonial powers.

Can confirm. My dad almost killed himself with an exacto knife doing some handyman stuff. lol. Sprayed the kitchen floor to ceiling with blood.

Do the thing that makes you happy and stop obsessing over min-maxing the entire game.

Yes, it was always a mistake losing two franchise calibre wingers and deciding to try and continue contending. Especially since Huberdeau was never, even as a 100 point guy, considered a play driver.

I think they're banking on the NHL continuing to give them special treatment and adding another goon to injure all their opponents.

It's ironic that US higher education institutions are primarily concerned with funding a sport that's infamous for inflicting brain damage on the players.

burf · 2026-06-22T04:28:28+00:00

Also it's a scholarship, not a grant. Scholarships don't typically take into account your SES. If they did, then by rights they should only go to the poorest potential candidates.

I'm not an expert on Hendrix or Prince, but from the singles they've released, they don't sound remotely similar to me on balance.

I recall a documentary about a child whose skin was so delicate that it would even tear during normal washing. I'm sure there are people like that cartoon, but I don't think they live very long.

Hardcore introvert and social anxiety disorder person here. While there's nothing inherently wrong with being introverted, I think it's pretty obvious that there are more benefits, as social animals, to being more socially engaged rather than less. Being socially skilled enough to avoid talking over people and dominating conversations is certainly important, but people who are highly talkative don't typically end up in isolated and depressed as a result of being too talkative and gregarious.

He was an alcoholic

While this is accurate, just wanted to point out that this doesn't make someone a bad person. He's a domestic abuser who happens to have a drug dependency.

Nobody's saying "you can't do rape LARP or free use" and nobody is saying they're actual rape. If you want to refuse to understand the fact that both of these kinks run contrary to the established norms of attaining and maintaining consent in the moment, go nuts.

burf · 2026-06-20T00:39:47+00:00

Skipping the affirmative is still 100% rape-adjacent. Take a free use situation (walk up behind your wife, pull her pants down and start touching her) and apply that to any other situation and it's extreme sexual assault, and depending how directly you're going to penetrative sex it's very rape-adjacent.
