    MTG: Arena

    Just in case you thought this game wasn't complete trash, the Thursday update with Core 2019 completely fucked gameplay. Everything takes a ridiculous amount of time, it feels like you're playing on a dial-up connection, and to top it off there are huge bugs including one where you can't target...

    The Handmaid's Tale

    If they wanted me to believe this then they should have swapped the actresses. Seriously though, aside from her belief in fundamentalist religion, Serena's character is far more of a badass than June. In every way. The idea that as the commander became more zelous (evidenced after the...

    IS HBO gonna get shafted by AT&T?

    Honestly, HBO needs to be expanded or they need to spin the HBO TV dept off into its own studio and put it out of its misery. Who actually watches anything other than their TV shows any longer? They have all sorts of old movies around, but nothing that you can't get elsewhere. I actually...

    The Handmaid's Tale

    I just can't take this show seriously after the finale. The second to last episode was fantastic, and the finale showing the women standing up for the right for their daughters to read was great, but then they had to bring it back around to this fucking stupid plot line that June is some bad...

    MTG: Arena

    Also, for anyone comparing to Hearthstone, the comparable gold sink is draft, but dailies in MTGA reward 500-750 and it takes 5000 to enter the only gold draft. Compared to Hearthstone which ranges from 40-100 (with the average being something like 55) for a 150 entry fee, the difference in...

    Okay resident internet forum badass, share your non-meta MTGA deck that you are currently using to crush everyone. We'll wait. Pro tip: nowhere did I say I can't win single games, I'm saying that the reward structure makes the grind unbearable and that fact, combined with a prevalence of meta...

    MTG: Arena

    It just makes no fucking sense. I played through my 3 daily quests in less than an hour, and after the initial packs opening (which yielded random shit not in the meta), I'm left to unfun gold grinding with sub-par decks. There is no motivation to play at all besides the fact that Magic has...

    MTG: Arena

    Seriously though, this game in its beta has the same problem Heathstone developed a few years in. I'm playing in the only free, casual format at a relatively low level with starter decks and am running into nearly complete meta decks. That means I can't get win bonuses nearly at all and, thus...

    Path of Exile

    I totally understand what you guys are saying, but you are missing the biggest problem with the game for non-hardcore gamers. It is entirely infeasible, through all operations in the game, to determine when just going with a 5L is fine and exactly which gems will be fine as well. For all but...

    Path of Exile

    I tried a 2h-sword lacerate build first and then went to kinetic blast wander. I know that I fucked up picking my first build, but that is the point. I am a medium-core gamer these days. I am way more than casual, but I have a job and kids. I'm more than happy to grind for a goal to a point...

    Path of Exile

    Oh, I remember the days when Blizzard tried to balance end game around hard core raiding. It was only when they made all of it casual as fuck and accessible to everyone, while still including a set of challenges for the 1% to test themselves against, that it reached its heyday. The biggest...

    Path of Exile

    Or they could make crafting more consistently rewarding instead of 99.99% shit and .01% jackpot? Or they could make crafting recipes for more leveling/start of map uniques? Or they could make farmable uniques that didn't take 50+ hours of farming? I feel like there are a lot of solutions to...

    I wish they would make SSF specific changes so that it was less of a pain in the dick to get uniques to carry you to end game. I would vastly prefer playing alone, finding my own stuff, and crafting the shit out of gear with my currency rather than deal with trade league that only favors people...

    After playing for 2 days, this game is fucking terrible. It takes everything good about Magic out and tries to make it into Hearthstone which it can never be.

    This was the soundtrack of my high school years. Also, you forgot the greatest bpm/thrash/metal song ever created and decades ahead of its time: I still fucking love this song for no good reason.

    Biggest guilty pleasures

    I've been secretly listening to this song for a while now. I finally figured out why I like it so much. It has a really groovy bassline in the background and I'll listen to any music that has its equivalent.

    Path of Exile

    Honestly, I think the build is not for me. I like tanky builds that don't have amazing dps, but can do all the content. This looked to fit the bill, but isn't nearly as tanky as my life RF jugg from last season. I really liked that build. I may just go back to it.

    Path of Exile

    Can't at all. The trap sections kill me because Vaal Pact + no enemies to leech. The writhing jar helps a bit, but not when I can't refill. I know i need to git gud at running traps, but for some reason my leap slam misses its target for inexplicable reasons.

    Path of Exile

    So I've hit the point I always do in a PoE league. Build good enough to farm early maps quickly (up to t7 or so) but not good enough to farm Uber Lab (this build I can't even do it alone) and all my potential upgrades are at least 1ex and likely quite a bit more. Maybe it is my inexperience...

    They also prefer to have cash in hand immediately rather than try to chase down delinquent bills for a higher amount. Ends up costing them less in the long run.

    /global 820 Seriously, it just isn't worth it doing it straight up unless you have to in SSF. Took me 45 minutes to go from 0 trials to all 6 and only cost me 2 chaos in tips. Read: I am a cheap tipper because I'm not rich in this league yet.

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    It was a Xbox1 trailer, so I think that means PC as well. I thought Microsoft said any Xbox game would hit PC as well.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    The strips are unreliable for testing your levels acurately, yes, but they only react to ketones so they are perfect for telling if you are producing them (and thus excreting them). As far as popsicles, you could make your own with flavored waters like La Croix or Bubly. I stopped drinking...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    The blood testing stuff is usually pretty expensive. If you just want to know if you are in ketosis or not, use the urine test strips. The actual levels don't matter as much as knowing if you are excreting ketones because you only produce ketones in ketosis.

    First trip out of the country, help me choose

    Aruba. Similar to Mexico but you won't get murdered by the cartels. Mexico is a fantastic place to chill in the shade and read books while getting sloshed on the girly-drink-of-the-day.

    RIP Bourdain

    I loved No Reservation. I watched it relentlessly in college. He got me to try foods I'd never heard of. He was one of my favorite chef personalities. That said, committing suicide and leaving behind a young child is a fucking bitch move. I may have loved him, but I certainly no longer...

    I'm watching the Dominaria Pro Tour right now, and I can't tell if I love Fight with Fire or hate it. I love that once red players hit 9 mana you aren't safe at 10 life or below, but it really seems like a giant RNG-fest in the draft games.
