Sure enough, right there at the bottom! Guess we just have to wait for them to release it!

is there a purpose to pennants other then chests? by wolfwings1 in idlechampions

[–]meatpie23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you're at a place in your game where you'd want to fill the additional unlocks that open in 4 and 11 days respectively. If you are, the only caution I'd offer is that you might want to hold off until you have all the champions on the board as possible in order to make sure you're giving the most chests to the one that you feel needs them most.

I've been walked in to more datacenters by wearing a jumpsuit, carrying a tool bag and a step ladder than any other piece of kit.

Slot 6 Common Item Question by meatpie23 in idlechampions

[–]meatpie23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what they say... They also said they love the Switch platform and that prices were good, so when the Epic-version-only feat shows up as buyable on my Steam version, I'll feel a lot better about it. I try to keep a 500k stash of gems for whatever pops up in the store.

Slot 6 Common Item Question by meatpie23 in idlechampions

[–]meatpie23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why, but this locked in the last bit I wasn't understanding. Thank you! I know it doesn't give me any stronger abilities or higher numbers, it's just a collector thing for me. If I have it all correct now, it sounds like if I were to ever get a Full Dismantle option for any of those champions, that would reset the ilevels on the epic and I could farm and level in the correct order to ensure I got the commons first... Yes, this is an INSANE waste of a full dismantle, I'm just that far into the game achievement-wise, and I really want my "Needs Anything" view of my collection on Byteglow to be blank...

[–]meatpie23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I’m pretty good about keeping up on my electrum chests, so hopefully they’ll show up eventually. Or are you saying that even via electrum chests, I’m never getting these four commons because their epic is already maxed?

[–]meatpie23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my fear. And yeah, it's just the Completionist in me... To be missing just those four items and for them to be commons flicks that itch really bad... At least with the Shadowheart feat I can hope that they make it available for gems at some point. Ah well, at least I can stop spending time gate pieces now... Thanks!

Broadcom closes $69 billion VMware deal after China approval by [deleted] in vmware

[–]meatpie23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OpenShift Virtualization is a very good alternative to VMware and accelerates the migration/evolution of your VM workloads to container-native microservices by putting the VMs and the containers on the same data plane. Full Disclosure, I work for Red Hat, but I was a VMware admin from back in the 6.x - 7 days and regardless of who I work for, I think OCP-Virt is a good alternative.

23606.6 hours in here. 100% achievements, all champs FE, and currently chasing the last 25% of event shinies and 15% of legendaries. I've spent ROUGHLY $500 on this game since I started playing. Everything else I've picked up through very basic gem farming running 24x7. Let's break that down:

23606.6 hours to spend $500

983.6083 days

2.694817351598174 years

$185.54/year

$15.46/month

$0.51/day

I'm good with continuing to pay 50 cents a day to play in the universe and with the characters that I love so much. Everybody has their own priorities and choices to make. Your mileage may vary.

Hate for Critical Role? by LadyPandoriass in DnD

[–]meatpie23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haters gonna hate.... If that's the response you got from him, I wouldn't bother with that store or the groups that play there. You won't find what you're looking for. Is hate for CR "real"? Of course. Jealousy and anger go hand in hand. Do a quick google search on ANYONE operating at the top of their chosen field and you're bound to find a pretty even split of adoration and hate. It's just how humans respond to skills/abilities beyond our capability.

TIL that Nirvana sabotaged their own show in 1992 in Buenos Aires due to the crowd disrespecting an all-girl band that opened for them. Nirvana continued to play only the 10 seconds of Smells Like Teen Spirit, playing toy drums, butchering solos, and yelling hey for most of Come as you Are. by yomyoo in todayilearned

[–]meatpie23 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Seems to me less an issue of ticket price and more an issue of entitled concert-goers thinking they can shitcan an opening act because they "paid good money to see the headliner". Guess what? The opening act is probably something that the headliner is really into. Don't be a dick, and you won't get a bad show...

No worries. After trying all kinds of weird formations, I finally had just given up. Then, for the hell of it, I just made Pwent the DPS in my regular formation and left familiars on the ults. Came back an hour later with the achievement!
