    Vanessa's Tranny AMA Blog Thread

    I am caught up in it. In part because people, including myself, have been apathetic. I've detailed in other threads what I've dealt with my wife and my son. I had an intern that I had to frequently remember to use the correct pronouns because I didn't want to risk getting fired despite this...

    Oh, it's definitely skin off your back. The effects are delayed and not obvious. You're the poster child for IOOTL on this forum yet you still want to claim preferred pronouns are not a small battle in much larger war?

    The amount of effort involved should not be a criterion in this case. You do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.

    Not a whoosh, I was agreeing with your comment with how much the game has "progressed" in terms of both power creep and RNG.

    I'll buy that it makes collaboration more difficult if it incidentally allows ideas like Herald Stacking to percolate and develop longer before being released.

    Should your opponents be expected to play around the Boompistol Bully in your deck? I was making a point about losing to unexpected cards is similar to losing to randomly generated cards. I'm not at all saying you shouldn't play what you like. And fuck priest.

    Hearthstone

    But now you're the weirdo that's playing a non-optimal deck that the opponent should not be reasonably expected to play around and thus cost him some progress. I like that cat and mouse game too, feels like it doesn't happen often enough though.

    Hearthstone

    Yeah, I don't get that. Why not make ranks based on MMR and ditch stars altogether? I bet the bouncing around trying to get to your next rank floor would feel better if you could see your opponent's MMR. I'm still not sure I would be satisfied settling at a certain MMR.

    I was one win away from Legend, played for four more hours, now I'm at rank 3. As I was dusting my collection for the second time, I pondered what I actually enjoy about this game. Winning a game is fun, especially when it's close and it feels like you made the right choice. Collecting cards...

    What should they nerf? I don't pretend to know HS well enough to make any suggestions here. Even if DH is too synergistic, why overly nerf them when the meta seems to be dealing with them?

    More changes seemingly out of nowhere: https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/news/23426180 Not saying these aren't good, at least from an intention standpoint, just didn't think it was needed honestly. Maybe I'm used to a HS meta where some classes are basically left out. The meta was still...

    Somewhat related, has anyone played quest warrior? Kibler's list seems much more tempo oriented and it has a great WR. But I can't tell if that's Kibler or the deck because it seems almost no one is playing it.

    I've more or less adapted to working at home. I stuck it out until the state mandated otherwise. I was not trusting of my ability to get work done with my desktop right there. Now I don't want to go back. Pajama pants and hoodies, relaxed shaving schedule, no commuting. Gotta be saving at...

    I could use some tips playing Enrage Warrior. Or I guess just plain Warrior. I had this problem during DoD(Galakrond Warrior) as well where I would just have a bunch of low tempo comboish pieces sitting in my hand but not actually feeling like I have anything play. Is it ok to drop Korkron...

    We're still hiring. COVID, in some nebulous way that HR doesn't seem to want to explain, has really slowed down the process. But the actual demand is still there. As for applicants, no idea. The amount of Indians that apply to a job could double and it would still look like interminable...

    Rez priest is still gay as fuck, but the meta is pushing it out of relevance, so good riddance. Galakrond priest can't win as a tempo deck? I'm not too familiar with it but I thought it was similar to Galakrond Rogue just not as good.

    Alright, fair enough, I must have confused you with someone else on this forum that likes MTG novels, point retracted. I think the best of games have meh stories at best. Most of them are shit. I don't think MGS nor FF7 nor D2 has a good story. They're serviceable to borderline...

    Good story. 2-sentence concise and accurate summary devoid of any characters. Pick 1. Before we go any further, you're the guy that thinks MTG novels are good, right?

    Gameplay, yes. When did you play last? They've made some improvements to animation interrupting somewhat recently. Story, no. What ARPG had a story worth a shit?

    I'd rather teach someone to code(or really any skill) who shows the propensity to learn than hire someone that knows how to code but is stuck in their ways. However, the above might as well be a platitude. Someone with the motivation to be a go-getter and self learner will likely have learned...

    Does webstorm have somethinig like Remote SSH? That extension has been great, especially since working from home over a VPN. Building a sandbox(10M+ LoC) locally takes days due to cache hits.

    I'm sure Disney is doing fine, but I'm willing to be that D+ subscription projection is heavily cooked.
