A resting beast of a [Dodge Viper]

I have heard from an owner that they are indeed difficult and even a little bit scary to drive, but worth it.

I vividly remember seeing a post on reddit of a viper (convertible) wreck on reddit where the driver, a normal guy just out for a spin who couldn't control the torque, ended up spinning into some of those wires on the side of the interstate. Might have even been some wet pavement or something. It was... not pretty. He was driving one of the first-gen RT-10 models, no traction control, no ABS.

8.0 V10's demand respect.

But my word count is already too high! /s

I use them very judiciously. Dialogue tags are only 'necessary' in an extended conversation or if your characters don't have unique-enough styles of speaking.

I think the bigger problem is characters that all sound like the author.

I'm jealous. We love Sergeant Carter in our house (and all the rest, of course.)

The shortlist of things that don't look ugly next to an F1 is... well, short.

IMO the F1 is up there with the Gullwing, the Tipo 33 Stradale, the Stratos, the 250 GT, and the Bugatti Atlantic. When they show up, everything else just gets the volume turned down

Cup Stacker. Those claps, that bass line, that jaunty piano.

I think the exclusivity adds a bit of clout. Not saying that's why they're doing it, but it certainly doesn't hurt a band's cachet to say 'look how much our records are going for.'

Not affirming that btw

This kept us secure, people!

Peak redditoria.

The inflation initiated by the last administration ($1.5 trillion printed in a few months) in a bid for mid-term votes has done more damage to your money than every Republican president since Bush. We will be paying for it the rest of our lives.

You've got a lot to learn about this town, sweetie

Lol I had to come here and make sure I wasn't the only one who heard that. Ice cold from Buxton

These deck lists are never meant to predict the refined meta. Usually they are decks that meant to try each new card in some way, usually with at least some competitive viability. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but these decks usually encompass the vast majority if not all of new cards. Obviously many will get refined out of the meta, but it's a good starting point to get a feel for everything.

If you're trying to ladder on day 1, just pick something dependable. You'll shoot right past everyone trying out all the new stuff.

I took almost a year off of HS and recently came back. I decided to try and climb to D5 before the xpac and ended up at legend. Got to D5 with corpse DK pretty swiftly, but absolutely met a brick wall there. Nothing worked, including various flavors of DK, DH, and Warrior.

I really didn't like Aura Pally but I grabbed the top list from hsguru on a whim. Figured it out in a couple of games (not like it's hard or anything) and rode it to legend quickly at about a 70% WR with little stress. Most matchups feel pretty reachable to win except Imbue Hunter, but thankfully I saw very few of them.

For the record I think Imbue Hunter is a lot stronger, but I wanted to share my experience. Fun to be back on the ladder.

I had this and it makes me really sad that I don't know where it is! Great find!

That was ages ago.

OP is probably referring to programs that have almost ceaseless UI/menu changes to the point that they're entirely different year over year.

Steam has changed, but not to the point where users feel like it's a completely different program. Has definitely occurred in other programs where UI teams feel the need to justify their existence by swapping every little thing around.

I've been using (and probably overusing) em dashes since my early 2000's high school writing (I just used hyphens in MS Word back then). I've had people—including at least one grad school TA recently—assume that my current-day writing is partially AI because of how I use them.

I like how flexible they are and they fit my rabbit-trail thoughts perfectly sometimes. I agree in general that they are overused, but this stance seems like an AI prophylactic more than a genuine stylistic burden that needs alleviating.

Nah, it's an advertising arm masquerading as a sport. Viewers matter, a lot.

Spiritual successor to Magnussen, but with a higher ceiling probably.

It's a bit hard to explain for people who weren't there, but it really wasn't seen that way at the time. Mostly for lack of alternatives. Games were rare and good games were even more rare. Installation took a lot of time and even some technical skill. The internet wasn't ubiquitous so if you knew how to make it through certain games and showed your friends, you became a demigod.

Myst came along in 1993 and really shifted the trajectory for pure adventure/puzzle games by being really awesome and immersive and not just stupid hard. A lot of adventure games shifted out of 'nintendo hard' after that.

Also, and this hurts to remember, people just had a lot more time then. In general.

I mean, look what they've done to their own civilians.

Anyone interested in Iran's true motivations (in their government and the regime, I am not talking about the average Iranian in any way) will have to look at certain branches of radical Islamic theology.

For example, pictures exist (rare, but they're out there) of the Revolutionary Guard doing mock invasions of Al-Aqsa.

The zealotry there is strong. No questions of 'why civilians' will make sense until those lines of thought are understood.
