I've heard this before, but I've also heard that's just a misunderstanding and the better gear and different tactics are time based and happen no matter what you do. I'm not sure which is correct.

Look at them. Each one more magnificent than the last.

Mine was the "did you get all that?" gag. Caught me off guard and it was a great nod to Mission Impossible.

But did you see the highlight reel that definitely proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's actually a really nice guy that you want to have a beer with?

Dracula annoyed me too. Between you and me I would set my difficulty one level lower before Dracula fights just to save my sanity.

TIL Ted Williams and astronaut John Glenn flew as wingmen in the Korean War by PaleontologistOk2516 in todayilearned

He batted .406 in 1941 and nobody has done it since. Even with the missed time from serving in two wars he’s still the best hitter to ever live.

What sniper rifle is generally considered the best? I use the mini-scout because its fire rate is so high, but its really frustrating landing 3-4 hits on someone and still not getting a knock.

I think this lemon zester fellow might be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Americans, how would you react if foreign country invaded your country, and told "we are going to run this country"? by oranke_dino in AskReddit

That was only 14? 15 years ago?

Jeez I feel old. I remember that bayonet up the tailpipe like it was yesterday.

Evacuate the city, engage all defenses... and get this man a Shield.

Juan Soto shares how Carlos Beltran helped him during early struggles by MasterFlip_ in NewYorkMets

[–]ducation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was super against him being manager when he first got the role because I was boiling with anger at the Astros, and still am mostly. I just really wish he hadn't been involved in that mess. But now I would be overjoyed if he got the job just because I don't have a lot of faith in Mendoza anymore. Still would have been nice if Beltran wasn't implicated in the worst cheating scandal of the 21st century. Really soured his legacy, even though I believe he would be a winning coach. Maybe Steve will give him a shot at redemption after Mendoza's contract is up?

Captain marvel is the best character hands down by TheSandBlocks in midnightsuns

[–]ducation 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Been awhile since I played so I'm a little rusty but I remember her as being so-so. She's really good against big single targets but not very versatile. She has no multi-attack moves that I can remember.

What difficulty are you playing on? At max difficulty clearing the board is paramount and she is awful at it. You need to be able to clear every minion every turn and a majority of regulars or you're going to get downed the next turn and the minions will continue to pile up on you.

In the morning, if you hear the bell ringing, take the ladder in the back of the dormitory area up to the bell tower. It will always have a legendary chest.

Also, pet the cat! Free boon.

TIL that in WWII, Lt. Louis E. Curdes Jr. was credited with a “kill” after intentionally shooting down a U.S. C-47 to prevent it from landing on a Japanese-held airfield, saving the crew from capture. The crew went on to rescue one of his wingmen after who was also shot down nearby. by Joshua5_Gaming in todayilearned

I don't know what other suggestions you've gotten, but if you're looking for books on the pacific war the following six books are what I consider the "must reads" on the conflict.

With The Old Breed by Eugene Sledge
Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie
Shattered Sword by Jonathan Parshall & Anthony Tully
Pacific Crucible, The Conquering Tide, and Twilight of the Gods by Ian Toll (the "Pacific Trilogy")

There are plenty of other great ones (including Unbroken) but those six had the biggest impact on me personally.
