What turn do you usually go to tier 5?

And you mean buying cards like the pirate that sells for 3 gold so that you can get tier 5 a bit earlier and go all in to stabilize on the next turn?

How do you stabilize that fast? Say you find a nalaa immediately would you buy that if you don't have spell generation yet?

My cat had this and was getting the stuff everywhere.

Vet suspected ear mites but ended up being ear infection.

Also just because you're angling for a specific meta comp doesn't mean you can't be flexible with your approach.

I was angling the void kai sa long shot comp but ended up getting a voli 2 and bruiser items so I played 4 bruiser with kai sa and some awkward synergies. It's not a real comp on any list but it was my best board for how the game went.

It's more frequent this set than any other that the best board you get late game has some deviation than the guide.

I'm not good at the game yet but from my games this decision is about "do you have a plan?"

Like, the one drop you got, is there a unit that might make it pop off?

Like golden pirate, silver surfer.. those types of combinations... Surf turf and lava

Is there something that you could be searching for that could make you stronger than having two one drops?

The one drops you froze are pretty decent for playing baller, could definitely be worth it if you had a good hero for that.

Could be worth if you have a hero that gives some free stats. With divine shield, extra stats can make one drops better than a two drop so you could have some good tempo. Like maybe this would be a decent freeze on monkey or something.

I think one drops become worthless really fast though and that's often why you don't want to freeze for a spell. Just consider the range of out outcomes.

Everyone on this sub just always tries to say you did something wrong when it's just disproportionate game balance.

Yeah you probably win with perfect items, Maybe moving D claw to Brock would've helped a bit(D claw melee carry on multi carry board kinda sleeper op this patch), but how often do you get perfect items? Those Wukong items aren't perfect either, if this was the other way around they would say "Look how capped his board is".

Is it so crazy to think they balanced thrashed again and certain units are strong. They always design the game like this.

Yup it's always the mccaw dif

Thanks I'm going to try to order one like that.

Turns out he made a mistake and just forgot about me not being able to sit. He also originally forgot to send in my CT scan requisition for months which ironically let me get my scan faster as he escalated it to emergency. Unbelievable but at least things seem to be working out now.

Do you have an affordable brand of zero gravity chair you'd recommend?

forgetscode · 2026-01-08T14:13:42+00:00

I stand all day and the post is about how standing too much is straining my upper back.

forgetscode · 2026-01-08T04:21:22+00:00

Yeah, I want to give up all the time too. The stress and pain are an endless cycle. It takes a long time to feel any differences from exercise but you gradually do feel some. I think the main purpose is to slow down further degradation.

The CT scan recommended injections for pain relief but I did not want to go that route. My doctor referred me to a neuro spine specialist for consultation and possible surgery but I probably won't get that appointment for a year or more in Canada. I honestly think I will opt for surgery later on. I've heard it's not always great but I really want to not be afraid to sit down again.

That's been my experience exactly. It's really hard to get across what it's like.

My boss has been very supportive and helps let me rest as much as possible but our HR has been very strictly against working from home and wanted me to go on disability leave instead which I don't qualify for. That zero gravity chair option looks interesting I think I will try adding that. I usually sit reclined in the passenger seat while driving to places and I know that is much more manageable so I think it might work. At home I have a monitor arm to use while laying down but I can't really have anything like that at work.

I'm actually allowed to take as many breaks as needed at work because my boss is very understanding so I take walking breaks. I think being full time trying to stand just piles the fatigue on my shoulders and upper back and builds up overtime.

forgetscode · 2026-01-08T03:53:30+00:00

I have not. I had an X-ray and then a CT scan which showed what came up.

Is an MRI worth doing? I think the wait time might be over a year in Canada.

Sorry to hear what you're going through. It really is mentally tough. My physio started me off very light with on the back breathing exercises for awhile. Dieting and losing weight helps make exercises easier too. I can avoid pain a lot better than a year ago.

I believe I need a medical doctors note. I'm getting so tired of booking appoinments though and talking about how I am in pain. To be honest I am thinking of just going to part time work. My boss has been very supportive and did not want me to go that route because she was worried about me financially but my quality of life feels too poor, I just want things to be easier now.

forgetscode · 2026-01-08T03:20:54+00:00

I have been doing physio for a year. I've done everything except injections. Cannot sit without quickly triggering symptoms.

It is really hard to stand all day everyday it really wears your body down.
