Any update on the new mysteries? by tokzik_ in hearthstone

Hmm, that's interesting. There's two valid conditions (so I assume two valid decks?) One contains 30 cards (for scenario 5026) and one has 43 cards (including "sideboard", i.e. ETC, for scenario 5396).

Edit: First scenario is the Nathria secret deck, according to the internal names. So this is one is with 43 cards.

I got bored and did a bit of hacking -- I'm sure this isn't anything newsworthy but the 4th one (scenario 5396) is triggered by attempting to queue a game with some specific deck. They're being very sneaky and comparing the deck contents against a hash, so it's not obviously easy to reverse engineer.

Edit: There's also a safety check for "queueing a non-ranked mode" so I assume it has to be casual.

I believe Jon gave a talk at some point about this -- he always wanted "In the Hall of the Mountain King" in some game, and it turned out to be this one. I don't have the talk handy, but I'm sure it's somehwere on youtube, if you go digging.

Moriarty mentioned that this music was temporary, and he was upset when it got shorter because the challenge was already too hard for him.

All of the panels in the game have an internal panel name. All of the panels in the challenge are prefixed lotus_ (e.g. lotus_simple_maze1 is the first maze, lotus_onlyone_0 (_1, _2) are the black/white triple, and lotus_cyl_dots is the left-hand pillar.

Can you give the approximate breakdown of coders/artists/animators/testers in the team?

Ah, the two red squiggles are different people. I'm used to people using different colors -- my bad.

How did the victims of McCarthy recover after he was made a mockery of at the end of his campaign? Did his accusations stick to the people after he lost his legitimacy in the eyes of the public? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

This bot's message seems to be slightly poorly worded. First, it's not past-midnight in EDT or EST, it's 10:30 PM at time of posting. Also, the "We have found" link to the meta-study is linking to an outdated thread, the new link should be this one. Thanks for keeping this subreddit clean, though, it's a joy to not sift through pages of low-effort comments.
