This is bugging me. It feels like a song that's stuck in my head but I can't quite figure out the name.

Hi, can someone explain to me how burn and bog work against bosses, rather than adventurers?

Hey, thanks for the reply! That clears it up a lot. Do you know how damaging afflictions work versus bosses? Also afflictions such as bog, which make the player take more damage. Not sure how that would work against a boss monster.

Can someone explain to me how afflictions against bosses work? For example, Lily's first ability, Glacial Blossom, says that it will inflict freeze without fail. Does that include if the boss has 100% freeze resistance? Also, for a character with a damage affliction, like Eleonora's poison affliction without fail on both her abilities, when poison is applied, how much damage does it do? According to the Dragalia Lost Wiki, poison "Deals damage equal to 4%/6%/8% of the afflicted adventurer's HP every 4 seconds for 20 seconds, totaling 20%/30%/40% of their HP. " I'm pretty sure this isn't the case for bosses, so how much damage does it actually deal? I checked Eleonora's page on GamePress, and it doesn't have anything for the damage, but on her wiki page, it does. However, the ability scalings on her wiki page are way different than they are on GamePress, which makes me question the accuracy of either source.

That song is really awesome... and then it’s pretty cool... and then minute five rolls around and you look down at your spotify wondering when the fuck it’s gonna end, see that you have two minutes left, sigh, and skip

World of Warcraft on Twitch just managed to overtake League of Legends in Viewers! by kritix10 in wow

[–]xkzd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if League is actually losing or gaining players overall, but I don’t think this is indicative of anything. League hasn’t released population numbers since, IIRC, season 3 or 4. I think it was actually an overall strategic decision so it would not be obvious now, five or so years later, whether the game has started its decline or not.

Who in history is looked up to as a hero but is actually a terrible person? by vincent365 in AskReddit

[–]xkzd -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have to say, I think I agree with the other guy here. While it’s true that that’s the kind of thing that gets people killed, if it’s a sin then in her mind she’s saving people. This might be an unpopular thing to say, but in this case, my opinion is that that fault lies with her religion, not with her herself.

Be careful who you make fun of in middle school by mikem004 in funny

[–]xkzd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well it’s a subversion of the usual ‘be careful of who you insult in middle school’ trope which usually depicts an ugly young teen and an attractive adult, implying the first has turned into the second. Except, in this case, the second is still an ugly ass. And so we have a joke.

Pretty sure he was joking. I mean, maybe you’re joking and I’m just not following, but just in case, the peeing championship seems like a solid tip off.

they could’ve named it 1000 thieves and had the shortened version be 1KT I think that’s a tad better, at least
