    That said, PP frost bolt/vortex/ice nova/glacial cascade was very fun back when berserker leech worked on spells. No idea if it still works now. MTXgasm too.

    Fixing the RNG meaning you're now playing chess might be a bit binary. I agree that variation can be good, but making it so obvious as to why you lost(to something not in your control) is not good. Until the mid-winter abortion, I think Gwent was doing a good job of mixing the two. Since...

    MTG thread

    MTGA has as much RNG as Hearthstone. I got tired of facing people with much better decks while at bronze rank, so I caved and spent most of my wildcards building this deck: First Month of MTG Arena I know it doesn't have any Dominaria in it, but shouldn't make that much difference. Mana...

    This game is seriously fucking frustrating. 2 lands and nothing on curve, here have 4+ plus when you mulligan and that's all you'll draw for the next 5 turns. The amount of times this happens, basically mana flood/screw, is staggering. Combined with playing against people with much better...

    Was reading the analysis here That the game is at least 2x more expensive than Hearthstone even with similar-costing packs. I might continue to play in the downtime between PoE leagues, but that's kind of a bummer if true. Their matchmaking system blows, I more times than not get matched...

    Could use a good resource for deck lists. I've never been good at deck theory crafting and I'd rather not waste my wild cards.

    The amount of people playing at low ranks with decks they shouldn't have is really demoralizing.

    MTG: Arena

    Part of me suspects I'm still in the "ramp up" phase of the game. Like judging PoE as a whole while you're still leveling. A lot of my games just feel like luck of the draw. As I fill out my collection with more tutors and draw mechanics, I'm hoping more games will feel much more fluid and...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The pen testing people that we hired to test our hub were next to useless. Definitely closer to mindless automatons just following a script. For a software test engineer, I want people that wrote that script and the accompanying software.

    I don't know where I know it from, but buses and other very large vehicles not turning right on red seems common sense to me.

    MTG: Arena

    Just in case any one is wondering, 90 packs cost 18000 gems. 20000 gems cost $99.99, so a dollar per pack. The ratio of packs to gems is the same at all quantities.

    Hearthstone

    If they ever release a mobile client, I think gwent could replace Hearthstone in that regard. I don't think it will ever be as popular though.

    MTG thread

    How do you guys build decks to combat mana flood/screw? Been playing some MTGA and a lot of games have been decided by that alone. I was thinking a heavy amount of tutors and draw, but there doesn't seem to be enough of that.

    Google Voice was going to be my answer. After transferring my number to Google Voice, I can text from my computer or phone via Hangouts. Quite handy. And annoying to the people on the other end because I'm typing much faster than them.

    That was my "WoTC are greedy fucks who thought Hearthstone wasn't a competitor just a couple years ago" reaction. Also, even if they now realize Hearthstone(and digital TCGs as a whole) is a competitor, they still haven't shown that they know the difference between digital and physical cards...

    If your QA person is objectively a good developer, as in they are doing good development work in QA, why is that a problem? Pay them as much as a developer.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    If that's your expectation of a QA position, then that's fine. Some people expect them to be good developers too, for better or worse. My product architect and myself being some of those people. The difference is that I'd like to see if that's even reasonable. Maybe expecting them to be good...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Pretty much this. I'd prefer the focus of a test engineer to code the test system and automation necessary to report failures. Some people here expect test engineers to test(manually? semi manually?) development code. I'm not saying that's wrong, but that's definitely a step back from what...

    It seems those two have solved their problem, so I have a question for the developers(so, most people?) of this thread. What's your criteria for a good software test engineer. I don't mean, write me a job req. But what is that person doing well for you think they are doing their job...

    Not really. The only required viewings are Iron Man 3, Thor 1, and Thor 2. Oh, and the Andrew Garfield Spiderman movies are related, somehow.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    How has anyone remotely interested in comic books and/or these movies not already spoilered themselves? I can't think of one memorable narrative from any Marvel movie. They're about somewhat quirky dialogue, quips/jokes, and fun set pieces.

    I was trying to compare situations where both abilities spread damage. AE, essentially. On single target fights that matter, AC gets subbed out anyway. And it's those fights where MS's downside to lock you in place for 50% longer that really shows.
