I went to a reddit meetup in the early 2010s and...this is gonna sound like bullshit but it's true....I was shocked at the average attractiveness in the room. Like there were no bombshells but almost everyone was above average. Only one or two that were conventionally unattractive... So I guess no mods were there (badum tsss)

Didn't DF kind of get rid of borrowed power model? I assumed the Hero Talents were just the extension of the talent tree and would be added to next expansion, not something that would be removed in 2 years. They're still just talent points

Ackshually, the N word isn't racist anymore. I've invented a new definition that only I use and it trumps common usage. You are an NPC to think otherwise

I've played even less than you but here's my feedback so far:

They were supposed to add account-wide reputation, they gave us 10% of it, just for one expansion.

Both TWW and DF reps are account-wide. They will be rolling out past expansions over time...as they stated months ago

[Story/writing]

I liked the Dalaran cutscene a lot. The voice actor for the one kinda mean guy you meet is....not great. The writing feels in line with WoW which isn't a compliment but I've never paid much attention to the story anyway (skip skip skip, just let me smash some barrels)

Class design is terrible

I've only messed with Brewmaster but I'm loving the changes. I've seen nothing but positivity in guild chat about the changes to everyone's classes. For me, it streamlined the class by removed several annoying button presses while still feeling like the same class.

[Feral druids]

Someone has to be the worst...but I got KSM on a WW when I was new to the game and they were a trash spec. I also looked at some lists and wowhead does indeed have them as D tier for M+. However, they are in the A tier for raids. Neither of which are casual content.

Tier lists are for high level content. Every single spec in the game is fine for a casual player. It does not matter what you play.

Hero talents

... they're normal skill points...you just pick the track to add them to. It'd be the same thing as extending branches at the bottom of the existing tree lol

I like how you might pick different trees for different content. And with being able to save loadouts, doing so is pretty damn easy

Hey, I appreciate that. I was kind of hoping he'd say "oh shit I didn't realize that" and take it back but tripling down like he did says a lot about his intent.

My idiot friend told his boss about it and she reported it on my behalf. I told them I didn't want anything done about it but they sent me through the HR grinder anyway and I quit like 6 months later for a shit job. Good times, kinda ruined my life for 8 years

There'd be hundreds. I looked, can't find another one

Post your shoes, coward!

These companies really need to stop pripritizing making robots humanoid when they don't need to be

There was nothing vague about the implication when I "parroted" the origin and definition of the word lmao

Calling me an NPC makes you sound like a 4chan user which is not helping your case that you didn't mean it offensively

 

I don't know why stuff like this keeps me up at night but let's pretend you just won some obscene amount and there's a lot of people you'd like to set up for life. Let's say after taxes you have $300m in your account

You can give someone up to 18k a year without incurring a gift tax and while that'd definitely be a nice bump to their income, you still have way more money than you know what to do with. So what's the smartest way to hook them up?

A couple of options I've considered are:

  1. Give them a lump sum of $X million. They eat the taxes the first year and handle the savings themselves.

  2. Create a company and hire them to "work" one hour a month for a big salary. If you put $25m in an account, the interest covers the salary. They get a steady bonus income with the added bonus of getting the best insurance available. Is that legal?

  3. Set up a "shared" checking account they can use to pay for...whatever. But would these expenses count towards the gift tax? I do not know.

  4. Buy houses and let them live there rent-free. I don't really like this one because I don't want to be a lord to my friends and family.

For the record, I did not win the lottery. I don't even play it. I'm just working out the details in a fantasy world for some reason

 

The MediaBiasFactChecker bot leaves comments that I like to see so I don't want to block it....but it's designed for how the browser version of Lemmy handles spoilers. It says "(click to view the whole report)" which expands the multiline comment.

On Connect, the entire spoiler section shows up (but blacked out, of course).

Honestly I prefer the way Connect handles it now but I don't expect the bot maker to change their formatting to cater to just one app so an option for it would be awesome

 

There used to be rounded rectangles around each post, now there's nothing separating it from the following post. I tried changing the colors and it's still gone.

Full Width had a bar between them so I'll use that for now...but I kind of miss the Card view showing cards

 

I don't browse reddit anymore but when searching for solutions to various problems, many times I end up on a reddit thread with the answers. I haven't posted or commented since the exodus but I almost always have a red notification icon. And every time curiosity gets the better of me and I click it, it's a reply to a comment I left years ago.

I usually mark it as read and ignore it but last night curiosity got the better of me and I looked at the user's profile....lots of comments, all on ancient posts.

If they're bots, I'm actually kind of impressed. They'd be good and relevant comments if they were posted when the thread was active. I searched for some of the unique replies and the only result was the comment in question so it's not just copying replies. I just checked again while posting this and have a new reply - a question about a game tip I posted.

So is it someone farming 1 comment at a time or a sophisticated LLM? I'm leaning the latter but like I said.... it's an impressive one. If I didn't know that reddit was full of bots, I wouldn't have even questioned it.

Anyone else have the same "issue"?

 

A low budget film from Joel Haver.

I kind of ignored his feature length uploads after not liking one I saw before but I was surprised by how much I liked this. The premise is very unique and the characters are well-written. Worth a watch!

 

Hello everyone,

We are nearing the end of my first TTRPG campaign and in a few weeks, the DM is starting a homebrew. I joined this one half way through and a friend slapped together most of my level 7 character for me, a basic fighter. For this new campaign I'm hoping to have "more to do" in and out of battle so I'm looking for class advice.

I want to play a support class but I've been feeling overwhelmed by the class options. All I know is that I want it to be beginner-friendly support that can heal but also do more - like damage, buffs, or debuffs. Doesn't have to be all 3!

The group gave me a few suggestions but there was so much back and forth about how complicated they are, I thought I'd pose the question here.

Can someone help point me in the right direction on a simple support? Any help would be appreciated!

My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don't want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn't seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)

I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.

What about you?

 

I'm not sure if this counts as a "patient gamer" because I played them to death years ago...but I've been playing both again recently and they're just perfect little games with a ton of replayability. They're not retro (FTL 2012, ITB 2018) but they're old enough to regularly go on sale which is great!

Highly recommended if you like roguelite strategy games.

If you have any similar games to suggest, please leave a comment. I'm sure there's tons of great strategy games I've missed over the years

 

You park in it, man

 

Based on two rumors/conspiracy theories:

  1. Walt Disney had his body cryogenically preserved in the hopes of being resurrected later. Unsubstantiated but funny

  2. The film was titled "Frozen" so when you search for "Walt Disney Frozen" you don't learn about the first rumor
