    Poll Do you like the stories and dialogue in games?

    If a game could handle exposition/lore similar to the Malazan series of books, that would be great. Or Mad Max: Fury Road for those who haven't read those books. Basically, we're not going to tell you shit unless it comes up naturally in dialogue or events. Now, go catch up. It's confusing...

    You're right, it's gear setups. Which, I'm still not sure what precisely that means. The amount of setups it does seems only influenced by the "stat points" setting, but that's set to 500 by default while simcraft doesn't have a setting for that I can find. The simcraft results say a scaling...

    Installed AMR's local client. Not sure I like the whole web interface part, thought I would have the results locally, but whatever. I would say overall that AMR has nice presentation and interface than simcraft. Also, it's easier to disable certain things like pots, flasks, and food if you...

    Yes, but you need to use the local client to do the intensive simulations. The website won't let you run stat weight sims.

    I put my arms spec into both, 160k dps from AMR and 164k dps from simulation craft. The stat ordering agreed(I didn't run AMR's local client to get weights) and other important factors like Colossus Smash debuff uptime and Mortal Strike executions were pretty close too. Simcraft's presentation...

    Why? Probably still the best tank in the game even after nerfing IP. I would go druid or paladin before switching to an avoidance/self healing tank.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Any recommendations for a stat weight mod? I'm finding lots of situations where I have to compare gear across ilvls where the lower one is ideal stats but the upper one is not(eww, crit). Would love for fury to be better since crit isn't that much worse for it than arms and prot. Most of its...

    The same could be said for fury and their rage dump, rampage. I know you can eventually outgear everything and shit will die quickly to any spec. But at my current ilvl(830), enrage vs second wind and victory rush, it's a big difference sometimes in hairy situations. I do agree about managing...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can't figure out the discrepancy between real logs and simcraft results. Do people, even top end raiders, just suck at arms and even fury rotations? I'll admit I haven't tried either in a sustained situation yet but I've found arms much better than fury for soloing and questing. That +30%...

    What do you do?

    $5k pre-tax for dependent care account or $3k for claiming expenses on tax return for the credit. I'm sure you know the latter is affected by AGI, so you probably get close to nothing.

    What do you do?

    I think you have to itemize your tax return to deduct medical expenses. Most people that own a home are likely already itemizing for the mortgage-related deductions. Dependent care account allows you to put aside tax-free money above the limit allowed to be claimed on your tax return. FSAs...

    What do you do?

    I found when comparing our high-monthly, low-deduction health plan to the HSA plan, you would have to use up the HSA max contribution($6750 for 2016) each year for the HSA to be as expensive. Our post-adjusted medical expenses didn't come even close to that, so we chose the HSA plan. I plan to...

    It definitely wasn't a good movie. Usually my bar for "bad movie" is how many times a character or the plot itself does something that makes no sense. Basically, my wtf meter being tripped. That magneto scene was one. The dialogue was bad but I especially disliked the policeman getting a...

    It's a fun scene that's completely out of context. For a movie that's otherwise forgettable, it's understandable that people would pick out that scene as good.

    If you don't open a legendary after 39 packs(in one set), your next one is guaranteed to have one. So, a legendary every 40 packs at the very least. I think it's 10 for epics.

    My wife dropped hormonal birth control about a half year ago and it's been much better since. Fewer headaches and an increased sex drive. Now, of course some of that might be placebo. Also, no one does something like drop birth control in a vacuum. That's a huge change and people's behavior...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    The social aspect can be fun. And it can be bad when the margins are so tight it brings out the worst in people. I agree with yerm in that it doesn't have to be the pinnacle of gear progression. I think a lot less people would participate in cat herding if the gear reward wasn't there...

    Obviously I'm not an authority on the matter, but that seems counterintuitive. More unhappy sex will help indirectly by bringing the issue to head and causing both of you to deal with it in the correct manner. Whether that's talking, therapy, finding what kink truly turns her on, or maybe even...

    Did she say that and you missed it? Seriously though, scheduling more sex while taking the fun out of it seems like two points at odds with each other. Even from just her standpoint. Seems like she isn't communicating something.
