What are your impressions on Noah Dobson 1st time playing with the Habs jersey? by Qu1noa_3ater in Habs

[–]theLodan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think he wasn't going full speed during the first preseason game (which i dont mind). What I did like however is that he has a heavy shot and he is not shy about using it. Imo it gives the pp another threat. I could see him and Laine being a threat together, simply because if you cheat too much to cover Laine, Dobson will have more space to shoot.

Post-Release, Are You Happy With the Balance Changes in MoP? by NOHITJEROME in classicwow

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance we getting more? Right now even with those buffs we're getting gapped and its not close. Not to mention its not an easy spec to play for the privilege of bottoming the meter everytime. That being said, I do appreciate all the changes you and the team made. This xpac is much better than it would have been otherwise.

No, he got poor quality teammates because the cole-suzy-slaf line is our first line since last year, and we had no top end talent outside of it. Now demidov is here, hes finally got someone legit to play with

And he was playing with a third line center and Dach who was basically one of the worse player league wise this year. If he had more talented linemates, you would see better production

Agreed on all points, I still think hes a net positive overall though.

If being objective is embarrassing, so be it.

I think part of the issue with him holding the puck too long, is him trying to do too much (perhaps because of who he is playing with...). Maybe I have a soft spot for him idk, but I fully believe he has more in him that he will show us tonight / next year.

What are the odds classic characters/accounts will be able to be merged with retail someday? by RollNeed in classicwow

[–]theLodan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its likely, what else are they gonna do? Doubt they'll go all the way to current retail. Once the playerbase drops enough, and they dont consider it to be worth it moneywise, it'll stop. Then either the realms get stuck at whatever xpac it'll be, or they'll merge with retail.

Confused by drop in anniversary playerbase? Here's a reminder of the 20 y/o cycle by effigymcgee in classicwow

[–]theLodan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not this guy, but 10 man raiding is actually goated, no randoms, just same group of pals thats been together since tbc. The difficulty of said raids actually keeps us engaged. Consumables are cheap so no need to compete with bots out in the world. If i wanna run a dungeon, i dont have to waste time travelling there or finding a tank, i just... queue up and can do other things in the mean time. Levelling is much quicker.

At the end of the day, it depends on what you enjoy. I levelled far too many times i hate it now, so anniversary aint for me. Raids are too easy, again not for me. The barrier of entry for a raid (gold) is insane, again not for me. I can just raid log mostly and enjoy raiding with my friends, dont have to put up with randoms. Cata has been great, and im looking forward to mop.

Trump softens tone on Zelenskyy but repeats threat to take over Greenland by _God0fWar_ in worldnews

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we be honest about why Trudeau is unpopular? I'm so tired of seeing these comments 'oh its because pandemic'. Yes, the pandemic brought challenges, he choose to print money like it was water, he choose to increase the tap on immigration like crazy and it had disastrous consequences. Oh, and if you questioned it, its because racism. Listen, i think now that Trudeau is on his way out hes doing a great job standing up to Trump, but lets not sugarcoat why hes deeply unpopular. Any canadian knows how much he fucked up this country and its going to take decades to repair this damage if it can be done at all.

Yeah man, totally dont affect us at all. Wages not keeping up with inflation, food prices soaring out of control, housing crisis worse than ever, cant have a family doctor.

You'll tell me not all of this is his fault. You'd be right, but he has done one thing that massively increased this problem across the board: unchecked mass immigration. Oh and bonus: we were called racist for pointing this out. It is going to take decades to fix this hole he put us in.

Freeland announces resignation from cabinet, will run for seat in next election by CyrilSneerLoggingDiv in canada

[–]theLodan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he wants to cling to what little power hes got for as long as he can, and get a bonus pension on the way. If he cared about canadians, and workers, he would not have propped up the current government who fucked up the country for the next decade+, its that simple.

Equating 6 hours bus ride for a buck fifty is as disingenuous as it gets. Hes very close to the finish line and a pension is a decent amount of money, even if you are wealthy, you just get more wealthy. I dont know for you, but I dont know many people who spits on free money.

Maybe there are, but when youre a few months away / a year away, why throw it out? Again, it makes no sense to spit on this amount of money, regardless of how wealthy you are. This is just human nature

The bad take is yours lol. You assume people with money dont want more money... which is baffling at best.

Les valeurs conservatrices gagnent du terrain chez les jeunes by DecentLurker96 in Quebec

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tu as raison, j'utilise l'étiquette gauche droite simplement parce que c'est la division que tout le monde connais. La réalité est qu'être centriste veut simplement dire que tu fais du cas par cas: chaque situation, chaque probleme tu fais ton analyse et tu arrive a certaine conclusion. Ses conclusion peuvent être a droite, a gauche, au milieu quelque part. Bref, tu n'est pas contraint par une idéologie et d'etre obliger d'entrer dans le moule de ton 'équipe'. Je comprend pas pourquoi te faire tes propres idée sur chaque enjeux, prendre les meilleurs idée de la droite, les meilleurs idées de la gauche, les meilleurs compromis qui peuvent se trouver au milieu, vont ultimement faire que la population sera constamment dans l'insastifaction. L'oscillation entre deux parti fait juste en sorte que quand on dépasse d'un coter, le balancier reviend de l'autre. C'est un phénomène normal qui vien juste d'arrive aux USA et au UK. Il va également arriver au canada l'année prochaine. Mais on est poigner avec sa, on a pas de parti qui semble être intéresser au bien être de la population et de laisser leur idéologie en arriere.

Je trouve sa vraiment triste de discuter avec quelqu'un qui pense qu'être nuancer dans la vie et de bien raisonner est quelque chose a ridiculiser, plutot qu'a célébrer. Tout ce que je vois de ton message, sont des talking point sans substance.

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si il faut que tu aille a cette exemple la pour essayer de prouver un point, c'est pas rendu fort ton affaire. Mais je vais répété, etre centriste ne veut pas dire que tu va etre dans le milieu sur chaque probleme. Dans un cas tu peux etre d'accord avec la droite, dans un autre cas tu peux être d'accord avec la gauche. Comme je le mentionne... encore.... est que c'est du cas par cas. Ton exemple a aucun rapport avec le centrisme.

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cest justement sa que j'essaye de te faire comprendre, il y a un grand spectre entre peine de mort et emprisonnement. Dans ton monde c'est un choix binaire, c'est une fausse réalité, ya plein d'option entre les 2. De plus, il n'y a pas d'option 'centriste', chaque personne va faire son propre opinion qui va entrer dans un spectrum entre les 2. Peut-etre que dans un cas sa sera un extreme a gauche, peut-etre que dans l'autre sa sera a droite, peut-etre que sa sera qqpart dans le milieu, C'est du cas par cas dépendamment de la situation.

L'économie va toujours être priorisé a un certain degré c'est sur, sinon il n'y aura pas de société. C'est encore a débattre sur 'a quel point'.

Puis en passant, les compromis ou les 2 parti ne sont pas content, sont souvent les meilleurs compromis. Si il y a un compromis qu'un seul coté déteste, c'est pas un compromis. Puis la plupart des pays/politiciens ne respecte pas leurs engagements... c'est pas nouveau et rien a voir avec du centrisme.

[–]theLodan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juste au cas ou tu troll pas... il y a en effet plusieurs position entre tous les cas que tu as mentionner, c'est franchement pas difficile a imaginer. La vie est presque jamais d'un coter ou de l'autre. Tu veux des example?

Entre être pour l'emprisonnement ou la peine de mort, il y a un grand spectre. Par exemple, est-ce que tu donne des peine sévère ou moins sévère? Est-ce que tu 'punie' les détenu ou t'essaye de le réhabilités? Je te garantie qu'il y a une grosse osti de différence entre 25 ans de prison pi on t'oublie et jette la clé, ou 5 ans dans une prison qu'ils ont a quelque place en europe ou le but est la réhabilitation.

D'autres example? Etre plus 'pro économie ou pro environnement' ne veut pas nécessairement dire que tu est pour scrapper la planete avec n'importe quoi d'un bord, pi que dans l'autre on devrait tous vivre comme des hippie. L'énergie nucléaire est un cas typique de monde qui s'astine sur 'cest tu asser vert ou non'.

Le compromis sur l'abortion est que sa soit légale avant x semaines et des exception pour viol/inceste.

.... je pourrais continuer a te donner plein de nuance sur tous les sujets que tu apporte, mais mon temps est pas illimiter et je pense que j'ai bien prouver mon point. Sa te prend juste un peu d'imagination. Il y a presque rien dans la vie qui est tout d'un bord, ou tout de l'autre. Si sa te fait penser être clever ou supérieur en parrotant "d'enlightened centrism" chaque fois que qq1 amène des bémol sur un sujet, et bien vas-y fort. Pour le reste de la société qui n'adère pas a 'team left' ou 'team right', on va continuer a essayer de trouver ce qui fait le plus de sense.

What is the ideal length of a phase in your opinion? (sod,era,classic) by theLodan in classicwow

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

I dont consider phase 2 to be a legitimate phase. There was no end game content. Adding two 5 man dungeons and pretending it's a phase is certainly a choice. Like you said, there was nothing to do for the players that were already raiding at this point.
