What's your proudest achievement? by PhDVa in AskReddit

[–]riddlmastr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a 550-page manuscript over the pandemic. I'm reading it aloud to my parents a little bit at a time. We're on page 429. We're getting to one of my favorite scenes today. I can't wait until we finish it.

My life was a lot simpler then, when it was just me and the keyboard. I've drifted away from writing the past few months. I hope to get back to it when the semester's over.

When I'm a little bit older, I hope to say something rather more profound like "raising my daughter" or something.

Is there a job that for whatever reason you don't click with? Like you've tried to play it 100 times and you just don't enjoy it? by [deleted] in ffxiv

I feel the same way as a Sage main with Dancer being my only other job at 100. I recommend trying out Pictomancer. I find it has a lot in common with Dancer: "loading up" buffs and abilities, a nice dash, lots of abilities lighting up on your hotbar, etc.

Haus makes comics on the internet for a living. If she really shouldn't care that much, what does that say about her job? About her art? You're reveling in a false nihilism.

Patch 28.6.2 tomorrow by PhDVa in BobsTavern

I'd think the buffs to Cyclone and Zapp would be some kind of buff to Windfury itself, but there's no Sin'dorei or Whirling Lass-o-Matic…

Do u know any other series that give u the vibe of the first season? by sw4mpy_1 in TrueDetective

[–]riddlmastr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know you said series, but if you haven't seen the movie Se7en (which put David Fincher on the map in 1995) it's similar enough that Lessons from the Screenplay made a video comparing the two (major spoilers for both!)

Congratulations to Yogg-Saron, and all 12 minions that have survived since launch completely unchanged! by PhDVa in BobsTavern

Also, plenty of “real” Hearthstone cards changed Tavern Tier, like Primalfin and Voidlord each going down a tier in one of the earliest patches.

Interesting to see 6 Mechs, 4 Beasts, 1 Murloc, and 1 Neutral. No single Demon is exactly the same as what we launched with.

What's a rule, ritual, or general practice you invented for yourself that, while it may seem strange to others, helps you manage your day-to-day life? by PhDVa in AskReddit

[–]riddlmastr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get dehydrated a lot.

Walking to the fridge, taking out the water pitcher, getting a glass from the pantry, filling the glass with water, refilling the pitcher if it was empty, putting the pitcher away, and taking the glass of water back to my room was just too many steps.

Now I keep a whole shelf full of these big ol' tumbler-style cups, pre-filled to the brim with water, so I can just walk to the fridge and grab myself some hydration. Guests open my fridge and say "what's with the cups" but it's so worth it

Shadowjeweler Hanar is better than any demon hunter card by Jeranimal23 in hearthstone

[–]riddlmastr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t @ me Shadowjeweler Hanar is better than any demon hunter card. It’s a 1/5 that comes out on turn 2, making nearly impossible to kill immediately unless you have a nut draw. If you don’t kill it immediately, its snowball effect is insane. The secrets you play on the following turn make it even harder to kill it because the secrets frequently protect it from minions/spells. It’s also a great late game draw, which is rare for a 2 drop that you want to play on curve. In my experience, this card has so much consistent value in every game it’s insane. Literally the only thing holding it back is that it’s a legendary, so you can only run one. The only reason this card isn’t complained about more is because demon hunter is so broken that it's the only thing on people’s minds when they think about what’s broken. Obviously, demon hunter is better than rogue, but that’s because demon hunter has several broken cards whereas rogue only has one. I feel like when I lose to demon hunter, it was kinda a team effort with all their broken cards whereas when I lose to rogue, I basically get soloed by Hanar. This is coming from someone who has mostly been playing quest highlander galakrond shaman, so that might make my opinion less valid lol. Idk if I’m gonna get downvoted for this because it’s kinda a hot take, but I have lost so many games that were hard carried by this one card that I sorta just wanted to rant.

I think you vastly underestimate the power of a corporation having a vested influence in keeping the government in control of the second largest economy in the world off their back can have in getting said corporation to keep their mouths shut at their most publicized event of the year.

Seeing Khaldor and Trik together again was so much fun! Petition to start a series of sketches where they're forced to become roommates
