They did say that they've struggled with giving UB characters cards in green, and when you think about it, the color really does not lend itself well to a lot of character archetypes. So there's definitely at least a kernel of truth here.
Late, but nope. Kills can happen from 20 life because you accrue enough mana and cast enough spells to do so.
Yeah, exactly.
The news just wouldn't break the same if I didn't hear about it first from someone reposting one of those uwu-speak accounts.
Firefox users! Right click on any page, mouse over "Ask an AI Chatbot", and click "Remove AI Chatbot" to nuke the feature into orbit! I'm assuming they see statistics about how many people have done this.
It finally happened.
Rational me assumes that if the President of the United States *did* in fact suddenly keel over in office, the very minute their eyes closed it would be shouted out to the world by seventy majillion news organizations and you couldn't possibly miss it Irrational me, however...

Especially in light of the fact that Pritzker may very well have stopped a Chicago invasion. He went on a podium, stood firm, and didn't meme all over the place, and for now, things are quiet. Meanwhile we have Memecoin Waluigi trying to get the luls from us while DC is still under siege.
Like, yeah, maybe it's a little rich to beg Democrats to do something, and someone finally does do something and he gets a litany of criticism about it - but there is definitely the sense that they took the ball and started celebrating on the 50 yard line while the rest of the game is still going.

if you're unfamiliar with Quaker speak, "We find this to be an attempt at lobbying by stealth, outside the discernment discipline of the Yearly Meeting, and an unhelpful method of communication – as outlined in Quaker Faith and Practice 03.04." is how you say 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on'
Less than a week apart, a Hades 2 player named Foolish has both beaten 67 Fear (the maximum) and completed another run in less than 4 minutes. What the hell
Minneapolis: blood drive this evening and Friday afternoon: Wooden Ship Brewing, 3300 W 44th St Minneapolis. Or visit the Memorial Blood Centers site for other locations to donate: www.mbc.org There was an urgent blood shortage even before this awful shooting, so lots of donors needed!

Holy cow, that's incredible.
Commander. The intent - I assume - is to run all Plains (or as many as possible anyway) in a Boros or Mardu commander list helmed by *probably* standard-set Neriv. He's used Emeria like this quite a few times and it honestly works pretty well, but this is spicy even for him.

Newsom is every part the politician Dems want to see right now, especially because he doesn't have *those* politics. Or ***those*** politics. Safe, mildly popular, the counterweight that'll set the scale back to how it was in the good ol' days. I remain unsurprised.
Quickly Zooming Zohran can't hurt you, he's not real Quickly Zooming Zohran:
My high school econ teacher used to tell his students that as long as you could fit through his door, you were healthy enough. As long as you can see Rodrigo, it isn't too many cards.
With just a hair over 24 hours played, I've done pretty much everything there is to do in Nubby's Number Factory - again, late to the party, but I still was a little curious about why it had its 15 minutes. It's probably worth the $5 it's going for. Dunno if I could recommend it, though.
One thing I wish more people were consciously aware of is that we live in a society that is constantly trying to control you by framing every decision asked of you as a choice between two bad options in order to convince you that you are powerless to either understand or pursue moral clarity
Met a friend yesterday who I hadn't seen in several years, who had transitioned in the interim. Seeing her having lost weight and carrying herself with way more confidence than she had before felt so incredible. Couldn't be more proud.
Eh, maaaaybe 50 Fear is a bit too spicy for me. Ah well. Hades still slaps.
I also want to make sure they forget NPC (player?) names halfway through as well Apparently being cursed lost the Elf her forest designation, and the poor king got dethroned so hard his name suffered whiplash

Hmm. And now reading deeper into this... holy shit.
my roommate was trying to find the menu for a nearby bagel shop and instead found some of the most iconic slop I've ever seen. thanks food! :)
you could do this or you could have your social media goblins post AI images of Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan kissing your tennis shoes like Newsom has. Up to you really
And it's not even like there's no material to dip into - I'm counting subclasses they've published that are just rewrites of older ones. The Cleric, for example, has had no unique playtest subclasses, instead having three rewrites, but that's still three technically new write-ups. Where's the barb?
Specifically: in all of the 2024 era, not a single bit of content has been made for them. There are no barbarian subclasses to playtest. There's been no indication that one is in the pipeline for a future book. There's multiple sorcerer ones and warlock ones, Fighter's had a few, but no barbarians.
Unearthed Arcana - playtest content for 5th edition D&D - has definitely been hit or miss over its history. The latest document, which very clearly is referencing Dark Sun despite lacking any official affiliation, is actually pretty solid, though it continues to exacerbate an odd issue: Barbarians.
Not to speculate too much, but it really does feel like fame has not been kind to him.
Ozzy's death was sad, but anyone could tell you his time was approaching, even with how hard he held on. This... Mastodon defined me as a person even moreso than Sabbath. He's sort of like Chester all over again. Whooooof.
Literally after he left the band in what the band themselves called a divorce, this happens to him. One of the greatest guitarists of the modern age, defined an entire sound alongside his cohorts, and for it all to end just like this, so soon after... it's actually heartbreaking.
... What the fuuuuck
Yeah, this is definitely coordinated
But now it's been percolating in my brain that I might want to try one (and probably only one) 50 Fear run - it's not a threshold the game particularly cares about, unlike 8/16/32, but 32, while fun, definitely is something I've gotten used to. I'll probably still wait on that though.
Should've mentioned that it was a 5 minute biome run, the highest possible on that Vow, so yeah, gotta go fast And I did, finished with 15:16 elapsed, my best so far for the randomizer mode in Hades II. Fun stuff.
Thank you John Supergiant for blessing my Great Chaos Below run with Medea and Fig Leaf 60% extra damage and double wards and Rivals Scylla kinda honked, but once that was over with, gg ez
This is also something that will work absolutely flawlessly 365 days out of the year because it always reaches 100 degrees every single day
You're telling me a shrimp fried this DNA?
Not banned so much as unavailable. Commander has almost the entire card pool available to it, but formats like Standard and Modern only incorporate a certain subset of expansions, going back a certain number of years or starting from a specific set. Jumpstart isn't included in most of these.
"Can I throw a sandwich?"
The original wording returns it under your control before state-based actions are checked. This is an issue for Brawl, as the resulting enchantment could dodge creature-based removal and in essence this was a surefire way to yoink commanders without much counterplay.
Don't take it for granted.
W&6 is concerning due to Strip Mine currently running amok in a few formats.
I don't think children should have phones. They should have huge beige desktop computer with "Windows 9x Operating System", "Dedicated 3D accelerator", and "SoundBlaster compatible sound card"

All aspects beaten at 32 Fear All keepsakes at max level All Chaos Trials beaten All Incantations found All Prophecies fulfilled All cosmetics unlocked Officially speaking I have nothing left to do in Hades II. Guess I'm ready for 1.0, John Supergiant
Seriously. We're already back to entertaining Newsom as "our guy" because his PR team did a funny and we're still three years away, with any number of earth-shattering moments ahead of us. We can do better than this.
Just so it’s clear, I too wish ill on JK Rowling. She has caused and continues to cause irreparable and tangible harm to fellow humans.
It sounds like something went horribly wrong in transcoding and they just... left it in
Translation: *shrug emoji*
Deep cut, damn.
I dunno why, but I've really grown to love the half-profile pics you use. Maybe it's how it makes them all feel... I dunno, "equal?" Hard to explain. I dig it though.
"Siri, delete system32."
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.
The actual cut-off point for "participation trophy" commentary has long since passed, but if it needn't have, I think now is a wonderful time to kill that notion for good. Yeesh.

People will forget how to swallow and ingest food without asking a computer or a billionaire by 2032.
Hell yeah gamer
But gameplay wise? Mmmmph. Far better balance of all the weapons and boons (Athena being relegated to a special event NPC was a smart move, and even her Dash boon isn't as powerful thanks to how Melinoe's movement mechanics work), and a lot more variety thanks to the Surface as an alternate path.
100%'d the game before it's left early access. I think I can confidently say Hades 2 is phenomenal - if you liked Hades 1, it's a sequel that improves on pretty much every mechanical aspect of the original. The characters might not feel as memorable, but we've got the story to implement anyway.
All aspects beaten at 32 Fear, all keepsakes leveled up to max (something I neglected to do, but got that done), and now going through the Chaos Trials in Hades II (especially the "randomizer" ones - [Great] Chaos Above and [Great] Chaos Below). Once that's over with, I will have essentially...
But at least you can kind of make a Hostile Environment (Demeter/Ares duo) build and come out somewhat fine. Still. Shiva is actually pretty decent, but it's extremely Magick intensive, so the early game is rough. But it has the capability of doing big chungus damage, so we'll see.
Just two to go. These are probably the two I have the least fun with - Selene has become cumbersome to play in light of most other aspects feeling buttery smooth to play, and locking yourself into Ares (and out of other Hexes) really honks.
The only way this is anywhere north of sane, coupled with his comment earlier about Mamdani's apartment, is that his strategists have told him that trying to "appeal to the youths" wasn't working and he needs to find some tough-guy strong-arm angle to win over... Independents? It's baffling.
Seven now, Eos down. Turns out two Chaos boons that add to your attacks kind of helps.

Eight weapons remain in my quest to complete all aspects on 32 Fear on both the Surface and the Underworld. rip my wrist
Told ya, all she needed was some props and a bit of recoloring. Hadn't been inspired to delve into Heroforge like this in awhile, so it's been pretty lovely to sink myself into character modeling again. (Just, please, Wizards, make sure the Hexblade stays cool? Look at this lass. She deserves it.)
It's literally the Farquaad adage. "Some of you will be hurt, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
West What-now?
So I've decided, on these underworld runs... forget it. Bump up the price of shops, cull some boons, and make Chronos a regular boy again. And let me tell you - regular Chronos is *laughably* easy comparatively. And that's cool with me. 9 weapons down, 15 to go.
Phase 2 of the whole fight has him doing his instakill move. Not usually an issue, but if you don't phase him, he summons a sand dome in the middle that can stun you if you so much as touch it, and that's during his *second* of three instakill explosions. Without Death Defiances, you're dead.
Chronos, though... it's his phase 3. It's a playfield that's big enough to scroll the screen, with AOE effects and scythe strikes and dashes and random garbage going on that you have to constantly dodge as *he's* bamfing around the arena like it's his playground. The biggest issue though:
Scylla is just kind of annoying with how many projectiles the band throws at you (including the fourth band member they've found for the fight) and the whole fight seems like a minefield, and Cerberus has no room to maneuver while he decides to dart around and belch fire all over the place.
Completed all weapons on 32 Fear on the Surface in Hades 2 (of which I'm feeling *a lot* better about than I did before, difficulty-wise - they've done a fantastic job retooling the Surface, and the Rivals versions of the bosses are solid challenges). Now it's the Underworld. And it's got hands.
... holy shit, that's actually amazing.
Hell yeah, love to hear it.
That I'm really happy about, because his kind of character is one I'd really like to see more from shows like this.
I'm... honestly kind of surprised? Some of the trailers and some of how Bobby was being portrayed made me a bit nervous that they wouldn't pull it off, but hey, that's good to hear.
Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Why you would design an item that gives out points based on a percentage of the target score is beyond my understanding
Nubby's Number Factory: A weird, charming little game that's fun right up until you realize one item and one perk breaks the entire game in half.
... commodity, so she likely can't walk around in plate- or scalemail, and thus realistic options are limited. Warlock, as well, introduces some interesting story angles with old gods and such. I'm not sure how deep I want to wade into the sacrifice trope, all things considered, but it's there.
... Hexblade! The new UA Hexblade is... contentious, to say the least, but what it *does* do (I hope, anyway - who knows what it'll look like when it's actually printed) is encourage the warlock to stay in light armor or cloth, padding their defenses if they do so. Metal was not a common...
