    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    So weird, got a message on the PS4 phone app that I got an invite to the Alpha which I'd assume had a code in the PSN email or my gmail attached, but not seeing it to give you. Had a minor heart attack from the system not turning on though a few times, but apparently from the 2 sec power...

    Project Beast - next Demon Souls PS4

    Nice vid - and that Cthullhian beast towards the end was a nice thing to include, something relatively unique with the rest of the aesthetic.

    Hah, I don't have anything wrong with drunk folks myself - but don't touch the stuff past a 1 drink level - I hate having my senses dulled.

    Warning, when Ut was trying to get me to play PC stuff with him he did state that he likes to play drunk. Which can be a good or bad thing depending on your feelings, heh. PS - Obviously grouping with the wife when I play, but being 3 man groups we'll have a spot once release comes. (Although...

    Smartphones

    Seems every phone has an oddity to it these days - M8 is an amazing phone that I'm crazy about, but the antennae issue on Sprint models seems to be reasonably common for example. I'd stick with the phone that you find most enjoyable for yourself rather than worrying too much about the odd...

    You can up the difficulty on the mission button has a "Brave" default that you can change - the Explore area you cannot though.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I'd probably, even as a generous tipper, scale back to 10-15% in a state like yours for good service and down to 0% for horrid service (which I never do here in a $2.63 or whatever it is state) - make it the equivalent of raises/bonuses for good work entirely rather than feeling obligated at...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Word - same - still have a nasty scar on my arm from my summer before college doing my (one and only) food service job at Applebee's - testimony to why they use those wooden trivets for fajitas. No one gave me any grief over it though, the customer actually apologized for it, hah.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I have that happen indirectly - sometimes I round up generously, and it's pretty obvious when they appreciated it enough to remember me when I walk in the door 2-3 months later (I don't haunt the same places regularly, we go out a bunch but rotate the options a ton) to try to take over the table.

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Something I noticed once I capped out my Warlock earlier is that there's a mention of "locking THIS subclass" in the later abilities within the abilities available. (although past the L8 cap) Seems to me like that's an indication that each class is going to have multiple subclass options.

    Hearthstone

    Adding instants would be the most elegant solution, but would require them to do a ton of work to allow it - which ain't realistic.

    He said rifles though - which is likely accurate, very few shooters use long arms - likely because of concealability IMO. You see someone with a rifle aiming, you respond quicker than they're likely aiming especially with how many long arms really require a scope that makes you prone to narrow...

    Hearthstone

    Not so much, because everything has summoning sickness besides Charge stuff - thus Instants aren't necessary for a chance at a response. "Sorcery Speed" doesn't really have much downside versus stuff that's summoning sicknessed.

    The 'Yet Another Mass Murder' Thread

    Pilots clearly aren't an example of an extra category that might be considered different than a regular passenger after all. How many jets does the FAA allow passengers to carry guns into the cabin of again? Not to mention I said cabin in the first place even, you know, the part of the plane...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    I don't do it to steer clear of math - I do it to keep budget math when there's dozens of transactions I do a day clean. It's easy for me to remember "I spent $20 at TGI Friday's (not that I ever go there...) for lunch" to add to my budget notes later whereas if it's a straight % tip or some...

    The 'Yet Another Mass Murder' Thread

    Depends on the type of gun - pistols and concealables still aren't that plentiful in comparison - something like 70% of guns are longarms still IIRC. (Ownershipwise I'm finding the stat right now rather than off my head that 34% of people own a long arm, 17% own a pistol - but there is some...

    Hearthstone

    Pretty sure he's mirroring my point - almost everything in Hearthstone follows a CMC = P/T formula with a few minor +/-1 CMC variations here and there almost identical to MTG. Including Charge stuff - there's plenty of MTG analogs in the Charge critters. It's drastically undercosted for the...

    Funny thing is that the FAA has had rules against carrying a gun in the cabin unless you had specific clearance as an air marshall or something else to carry one there.

    The 'Yet Another Mass Murder' Thread

    Because partial statistics don't give a different view. Not to mention things like suicide rates in nations with fewer guns tend have a much lower success rate. (for obvious reasons) Honestly all gun INCIDENTS is the larger value in discussion anyhow.

    The 'Yet Another Mass Murder' Thread

    Correct, but khalid is trying say to not focus on outliers I believe, which is the right way to evaluate it. Extreme cases suck and are good for attention but their value in determining the norm is limited at best and detrimental/inaccurate at worst.

    On HP bullets, my bad apparently when I was learning to hunt as a kid I just happened to live in the only state that banned them (NJ) - assumed it was universal after the Black Talon issue caused them to stop selling. And murders/gun deaths != shootings. That's part one of making a valid...

    Spronk: Explore zones are meant to have generic quests pretty clearly. And unless I'm missing something only really ONE story question for alpha currently. I'm sure there's a ton more story quests and that the explore quests are all the normal generic MMO quest style.

    Hearthstone

    Charge on its surface looks deceptively like the nonbroken Haste mechanic in MTG. unfortunately zero instants and blocking being restricted to Taunt creatures only (and even then it's more limited than MTG blocking) however turn it into something inherently degenerate. Hell, look at the...

    Funny that during that time the way violent crimes have been reported have changed and tons of cities have been embroiled in scandals over intentionally misrepresenting their crime statistics. Not to mention many of the statistics are MURDERS/DEATHS not shootings, better medical care does...

    On sending photos, our Sprint M8s (non Harmon model) send photos fine to Verizon, Sprint, and TMo users. Not aware of anyone that we've sent photos to with AT&T though. Seems like they'd be fine too though. I'd tend to think it's a user issue on either end.

    Still be a massively undercosted 6/2 - and if you actually had other creatures out or an AE effect something that could be easily played around. He wouldn't be trash, he just would be more towards the median of what's good.

    Difference between a knife attack and a gun attack though is that you can actually potentially win in an assault with a knife even if completely unarmed. (Although the odds aren't amazing if someone knows where to hit with the knife) Gun vs. unarmed - you lose, period.

    With how gorgeous it is, I can't imagine the disservice that the old generation is going to give Destiny. The longterm Beta doesn't start until July 17th or so though.
