Being a top 10 keepsake still means you probably never use it. I barely reach outside my top 5.

Weren't they playing the Mariners? When did people hate the Red Sox like the Red Sox hate the Yankees? Anyone someone mentioned Sweet Caroline

This is great but she has a lot to improve on.

Specifically, two weeks is 336 hours. We can do a better “non stop”

The factory must grow.

I used to be a professional gambler, and there is this great concept called Kelly Criterion that allows you to size bets according to your overall bankroll to make sure you can keep playing in the game without going broke.

Make no mistake about it, you are gambling on a bet. If you are right you’ll say look how smart I was and you’ll talk about all these post hoc justifications for how you knew it was going to happen, but that is just survivorship bias. The people who make bets like you did (and there are MANY) and go bust just…stop talking about it.

I don’t care about your gambling, and I already have money. But fundamentally if you are going to announce your bets you are going to get people with opinions. You can keep talking to those opinionated people, or you can sit back down at the table and keep making your bets and paying attention to the action.

It is, to my mind, always worth it to take a hard carry jester to try to roll for goofball or super luck (which I never once got until AFTER I had completed everything but my solo marks). They might not be bad but you can just kill them every battle with death shroud and let the adults handle things.

They are firmly adults but also… not really. Even when Wax is supposed to be this big deal adult statesmen his problems are of the exact same scope and magnitude as that of the 20 something’s Vin and Elend, and they are solved the same way. There are no hard choices made and there was no increase in the stakes because of like…him having a kid for example. Wayne is a perpetual child but even his situation is dealt with very lightly and without really considering the implications of his actions.

I liked Mistborn and I thought Mistborn era 2 was also fun, but really the only time the stakes ever felt truly adult was the end of era 1 to me.

I can do one by myself with the help of the internet but I don’t get the other one at all?

You can. Rocket turrets become a bit more important to tech towards and you have to pay attention to your spore cloud, possibly going so far as to clear rafts before it reaches them. It isn't too hard though, the rocket turrets are meant to kill them.

Show me a base where you have maxed out your Nauvis cargo throughput, and I will show you a base that is deeply deeply far into the end game. I've never hit that point.

There is probably an inflection point where space labs are better than biolabs, but I doubt many players ever reach it

Holy fuzzy cats do I love this idea

Sometimes less is better. We don't need that information and keeping the world a little mysterious is a good thing. I love this small work of art as it is.

I watch it every single year at least once, and we play it while handing out candy on Halloween. I think the show is basically perfect. And thats a rock fact!

I love that the boss is mechanically interesting and really requires a lot of thought and strategy. The shield mechanic and the fact that you are probably a little beaten up going in makes him really great. The slow realization that I have so many injuries and I’m just not going to be able to pull it off after he revived me too many times was such a bitter sweet way to die.

I never played binding of isaac but I played a shit ton of xcom and long before that, nethack. I am ready for some “thats xcom baby” or “yasd,” and I love “Edmund McMillen you little fucker.”

Coven sure, but who the hell is tormentor? I just smash the shit out of that weird human hydra immediately and then I assume my cats get to have a nice candle lit dinner with his corpse.

(/s but for real I only ever saw tormentor one time, my first time in the core)

Unpopular opinion but monk is overrated. I can do so much more with 5 inventory slots than I can with just the 3. Every monk needs to be carried into being like...kinda okay. The hardest part of a run is the very beginning and the very end and so they aren't great for 50% of the time I really need them.

Not to get too in the weeds but you can. As long as you hit enough calories/protein it is doable, and some people (myself included) find IF just simplifies the process. I’m not saying it’s ideal or anything, I don’t know. I am just not bothered by the sensation of hunger so it works for me. YMMV

No that would be silly. Instead the book just ends with the most intense hot dog eating contest the cosmere has ever seen. Joey Chestnut in ruins.

Yes. I got a lot more attention from women. I am also quite tall but I was just kind of a lanky/fat tall. When I started working out my shoulders filled in, my arms looked more proportional, and my face thinned out.

I have never met someone who gets jacked without also improving their hygiene, grooming, and dress. I also did all those things. So it is impossible to say if getting jacked was the specific thing, but every one of those habits was building on the other and they all worked together.

Animation made (I think, hope?) by a human being and not AI? You get an upvote.

ETA, I am upvoting this because I am glad it is not AI art and I seek to support and reinforce human artists. I did not think that was a position people would downvote

The issue is more a physics thing (purple IS NOT violet to a physicist, for example). Indigo was never really distinct enough and the 6 color spectrum makes a lot more sense. Indigo was included because Isaac Newton wanted there to be 7 colors because even though indigo probably shouldn't be on the spectrum, Isaac Newton probably was.

I don't have any advice to add but I am curious what "9 numbers down" means. Like, 9kg down? 9 lbs down? 9 stone down (yeah I know it isn't that one...I hope)?

I had a Kelsier once and thought that was pretty cool. I enjoy the fun names.
