    Hearthstone

    I've been using handbuff hunter - went from 17 (or wherever I started after hitting 5 last season) to 11 without even having to make hard decisions. One 7 game win streak. Unlike the decks I saw online, I've been using the 1mana Smuggler's Crate spell. Just feels like it never lands wrong, and...

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    FYI - you can open up a 2nd phone and use that to plow through at 2x the rate. I did 111 mons this last weekend to ding from 29 to 30, and I ended with 9 minutes left on the egg. Actually only did like, 107 during the 21 minutes, and then did a few more after scrapping all the Pidgeottos and...

    That really is BS - if their MMR works, then he'll go up and you'll go down. Aside from that - how easy would it be to add a "don't match same person twice" line in the code?

    Hearthstone

    I tried a rogue deck for a while that had Maly, Barnes, Xaril, Thaurissian, Thalnos, and VC. It was made to hinge on plopping down Maly and blowing up face - but it was fun for the times when you had a bunch of cheap spells in hand and could play a 20/20 VC that they couldn't deal with. I've...

    So why does the solution have to be "get rid of the random" instead of "give better reactionary tools" ?

    So, why can't we mitigate? Why doesn't the meta shift to *more extra control to shut shit down* when people are pulling crazy hijinx out of their butts with firelands portals ---> Earth Elemental. Why is the current level of RNG un-repairable, or "un-adjustable-to" ? (In case this isn't...

    Hearthstone

    So, I'm not a theorycrafter for Hearthstone. I'm not a deckbuilder, or an expert in CCGs. I played Magic for about a year some 20 years ago when I was a kid suckering his parents into buying cards, but that didn't last long before they said screw that I bring that up to underline how much *I...

    What can I see from my house? 4. How long does it take me to hit 4 (3 different ones than the ones I can see from my place) while walking my dog? about 10 minutes there and 10 minutes back. How many gyms are in my town? Doesn't make sense to talk about "town" since I live out on a panhandle...

    Hearthstone

    @slippery - I've genuinely wondered about this in those games when I'm sitting there in my #neverconcede mode, looking down the barrel of 45 armor with no minions on the board - is the warrior being "unlosable" at that point, or did I just already lose and should consider it the same way i would...

    LOL, yeah man, I had a group of 300ish people all using a groupchat and a few scanners who would alert everyone if there was something that had popped. I realized how ridiculously much LESS stardust I was collecting when I was playing that way, just because I was sniping all the time instead of...

    Yeah, I don't see this comparison because Icehowl perma-can't attack heroes, where arcane golem+charge that cost 0-3 mana who can flip the board state, and leave an enormous threat on the board...

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, the deck is copy/pasted from: Midrange Hunter Deck List Guide (September 2016, Standard) - Season 30 - Hearthstone Top Decks It's probably just selective memory and poor sampling. I played 22 games over the weekend. I had 9 losses, so it was a good progression. Of those 9 losses, half of...

    Hearthstone

    So it is 4 mana for a 4/3 + a 1/1 with about a 40% chance of being good. That's certainly value. I'm not disputing that, and I'm not considering replacing it with a vanilla 4/4. I do, however, like the possibility of being able to plan a bit more. Maybe given the CotW win condition, something...

    Hearthstone

    OK. I'm thinking I want to sub out my Barnes. I feel as though I regularly don't get anything of value out of him. There are 17 non-Barnes minions in this deck, which means I have a 7/17 chance at something "good" popping out, 5/17 of something meh, and 5/17 of something pointless. 4/17...

    So, I'm a cheapskate and a netdecker. I haven't spent a cent on this game, so I haven't gotten most of the big legendaries, but as a general rule, most seasons I hit around rank 5 using whatever dumbass budget FOTM there is. Right now I'm using the "midrange hunter" that runs no secrets but...

    Excellent point. This entire game is unrealistic. I demand Niantic bring it in line with Newtonian physics. As a side note - I've found that the recent change in allowed movement speed has made biking worthwhile again. In my 4km bike ride to work, I got credit for 3.5km today.

    I haven't powered up any of the Lapras, mainly because I'm just hording resources for now. Figure it's not worth it to spend a single candy on a 'mon until I'm ready to power it up all the way. So here I sit with 44 Lapras candies from having this pokemon somehow supposedly follow me around...

    For what it's worth, I didn't get my first Snorlax until this week at level 29, and finally filled out my (non-regional, non-legendary, non-Ditto) pokedex. Pity that the darn Snorlax is 408cp.

    Some of the most fun I've had in this game is when I had a friend who ran a scanning bot that sent out alerts to a group whenever a rare spawned. There was about 300 people in the group at it's heyday, about a week after the game's tracker totally broke. So I'd be at the store and get an alert...

    Uggh. I don't really "go out and play" the game. I have a 2 mile bike commute to work that I have modified to be a 2.5 mile bike ride that hits 26 pokestops on the way. I haven't spent any money on the game, and I don't plan on it, so I'm rolling with 1 incubator at a time except for right after...

    So, I've got a 141/141 Pokedex - IE, everything that I can get without travelling outside the country, minus Snorlax. I've seen one pop one time - he was up for about 2 minutes after I saw him while frantically biking around trying to find him before he disappeared. For you folks talking about...

    That is definitely less useful for pokes with artificially-inflated stats like Eevees, but for most everything else, something with 80%+ IVs is pretty great. I've gotten 3 Lapras, and only one above 80%. This new function would have told me which to candygrind.
