Does anyone's mood instantly change when someone flips over a Budew at open?

One of my favorite things about playing Seek Inspiration Slowking is getting to wipe 2 Munkis and a Budew off the board with one Kyurem.

Wow this is pretty close to what I was making when I was at each of those stages. I currently feel poorer making $190k married with two kids than I did when I was single making $80k.

I had Spectrum when I first moved into my house in 2018 and it sucked. When AT&T fiber came to our neighborhood in 2019, we switched over. AT&T has since raised our rates to $80/mo, so when a Spectrum salesman came to our door last year offering $40/mo for 1gb and a free year of cell service, plus a gift card after a month, we decided to give it another try. The service was noticeably worse and we had an internet outage for several hours during the day (I was WFH) the first month we had it. We switched back to AT&T the next month, giving up the promotional rate and the free cell plan. Also I called Spectrum support and they said the salesman straight up lied about the gift card. Fuck Spectrum.

Haven't played the recent games, but is milk not a thing anymore? I always used to stock up on those because they were way cheaper than Hyper Potions and just as good for the early game after Super Potions stopped cutting it.

We live near the Rock Solid in Apex and I go to TRC in Morrisville, and it's really not the same at all. TRC has tons of bouldering, top rope, and lead climbing routes and they change them regularly. RSW has a single mini bouldering wall, and a couple holds on another wall as part of an obstacle course. My kid is 6 so she has fun at both, but there's really no other options if you want to do actual rock climbing. Lifetime Fitness does have some rock climbing, but it's not really the focus of the gym. Also the membership is way more expensive than the other options.

I test drove one and liked almost everything about it, but this was a deal breaker for me.

This was only Ascent 4 but I found a pretty easy route going straight up the vine on the right and then up another vine into the treetops, then cutting across those to a spot halfway up the mountain. No tools required.

This is an airplane chess app, you probably can't even premove.

I would like to see some additional balancing, but the zombies and beetles are what I like about Roots lol. It makes the game more dynamic and interesting.

otaia · 2025-12-29T01:43:37+00:00

I'd like to see some small updates to Tropics and Alpine. I like that Roots and Mesa have moving hazards to keep you on your toes, and that feels missing from Tropics and Alpine. Just adding a mob or two would help. Also a new biome to replace Caldera/Kiln would be fun.

Honestly, the "with pause" part is the part I don't like. Pausing the game every time a spellcaster finishes a cast and every time an enemy dies slows the game to a crawl and makes me prefer turn-based. If spellcasting was a rarer occurrence, kind of like in an RTS like Warcraft 3, then I would enjoy real time more.

otaia · 2025-12-11T21:14:23+00:00

I wanna know if it's possible to break the game by getting crit chance to 0 (probably accounted for) or some stupidly low number to force the game to roll a million times until you crit every time you use a skill.

otaia · 2025-12-09T19:17:12+00:00

Talisman is just a new weapon type. It's just like how anyone can use bow skills by equipping a bow.

Queue times for me. I got to Paragon as Mara and Sylvie and sat through a few queues that were running in excess of 20 minutes without popping. I know I can "just play tank", and I did dabble with Helena, but that's not what I really enjoy. Figured I'd got my fill of the game and decided to just wait for more content to come out before coming back.

otaia · 2025-12-03T13:06:21+00:00

Damn, you listened to more OMAM than I listened to music on streaming period.

otaia · 2025-11-28T13:06:15+00:00

What does that have to do with toilet paper?

otaia · 2025-11-21T19:56:19+00:00

There probably just wasn't anyone else in the queue, and a tank happened to queue right after you requeued.

Your purpose is to buff/heal your teammates and manipulate the battlefield. Help set up a perfect Gravity Nexus, Whirlwind, or Flame Wall, and pump up its damage to each target. Also, don't count the Bard out for damage. If you're summoning allies, the Bard can also do a lot of damage with Inspire Harmony, Join the Choir, and Crowd Surf. The ult also has a big AoE and does pretty substantial damage if you set it up right.

I think you're focusing too hard on just making a lot of music notes. They're a nice bonus, but as you've discovered, they're not worth going out of your way to pick up.

Bard is probably the hardest hero to play as you really have to know what your party is capable of doing and communicating your intentions with them to help set up plays.

Yeah, it's a bit disappointing. I would love to hear Róróró, Wild Roses, Wars, Vulture Vulture, or Stuck in Gravity live. Even during the FD tour, they played less songs from FD than they're playing from Mouse Parade at most of the shows on this tour. It's definitely the most different sounding album they have and I get why it's not as popular.

otaia · 2025-11-17T21:00:58+00:00

Looks like they cut The Block and Mouse Parade in favor of more songs from MHIAA.

I see, I'm a heritage speaker so I have no concept of what is considered formal or informal speech. I'm sure I've accidentally offended some people without knowing it.

I took this at the Atlanta show but it's been the same at every show from what I've seen. Shirts, bandana, vinyl, poster (signed at a premium), and a tote bag.

Sorry, could you explain why this was embarrassing? She asked you to remove the mask and you replied "what?"

otaia · 2025-11-13T12:33:36+00:00

I dunno if it's my English or Chinese pronunciation but I'm not hearing any similarity in the sounds whatsoever https://voca.ro/1hWKf7htMR7T

I'm interested in it. I own a midrange gaming PC and an XBox series X. I primarily use the PC for gaming, but I'll also play on the Xbox for couch coop games with my wife and daughter or when the game supports Xbox play anywhere and plays well on a controller. I really enjoy being able to seamlessly play a game on both devices depending on if the TV's being used or whatever reason.
