    Hearthstone

    I feel almost as bad when I get "pull it out of your ass" wins like that too. So many outcomes are obfuscated by RNG, it's really hard to tell where your skill is affecting the game. I can see on a macro level, my win rate has been improving recently, close to 5.5 wins per run, got my first 12...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Hmmm, not remembering that mechanic since I played last. Is local autonomy something that was added in a DLC? I'll check it out. I'm awash in gold and manpower as it is, so upping autonomy shouldn't be a problem. I do find it somewhat ironic that they switched all buildings to gold and I...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Am I playing this game wrong? There seems to be an inordinate amount of waiting or doing nothing. Playing an easy game as Ottomans just to get the hang of the updated rules from the DLC. Without the steep discount to coring(at least -83%), it would be even worse. Adding just a few provinces...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I don't see the problem. One day, those taxes will be used to pay for instant holographic replays of Bengals QBs throwing interceptions.

    And neither are rares. If his free brawl pack indeed had a Paladin legendary, it would have been Tirion anyway.

    Hearthstone

    Druid's early game is much stronger than priest's. Many of the priests's early spells need some form of context(injured minions, something missing 3+ health, high hp target, etc) in order to make casting them worthwhile. The druid doesn't have this problem nearly as much, making it easier to...

    Hearthstone

    Mage, Priest, Druid, Rogue, and maybe Hunter. Tried doing a shaman/warlock daily yesterday and it was just frustrating. Shaman runs out of steam too fast and warlock's early game blows.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Seriously. Slow heating impedes proper(in this context) curdling of the egg proteins, which is exactly what you want. Recipes will often temper eggs to prevent them from curdling. So, grats on tempering your scrambled eggs?

    Hearthstone

    Druids don't have a 10 mana spell. I think board clears and spell interaction probably gives this to mage. Warrior or hunter might be weakest since they have the most 2 mana spells.

    Are you still able to physically do it with her? Sorry, couldn't resist. Gifting money to her bnet account sounds like it should be possible. I don't think anything within hearthstone itself is possible though unless you want to win trade.

    Europa Universalis IV

    Haven't played this much since release. Bought all the major DLCs that were on sale recently. I think it was everything that list a few posts back except Common Sense. I've noticed some things have changed, like some buildings are actually worth it. I thought it was kinda cheap to buildings...

    As it should be. At a decent attack speed, FD uptime is about 50%. Have the queues gone down? I've given up getting onto the PTR.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You don't want pvp in this game. You'll end up with some half-assed shit like tavern brawls. Check back next week for your free legendary! Seriously, though, with the hilarity of how much they're pumping dps(which is good for pve), I don't want them diverting resources at failing to create...

    I would not have guessed it was it was teck's language that got him finally shawed. Not to say that he doesn't deserve an extended stay in the shaw for it. Just that he commits way worse offenses quite often. Maybe only a_skeleton_03 and Lumie can compare in the ability to thread shit and derail.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It does seem kinda lame, like the well is quite dry already. I'm playing through IWD:EE now and the story is basically some demon gets kicked out of hell and starts shit with a snake bitch and you're caught in the middle. Really don't need to go on much to make a good hacky-slashy RPG. IWD2...

    Conventional loans have no waiting requirements to drop PMI like FHA. You might to nag your lender about it though. Otherwise, they might conveniently forget to do it until the law for your state(if there is one) says they have to. For NY, I think the law says they have drop PMI within a year...

    Correct, but then you won't get wifi coverage via hangouts.

    Smartphones

    Just to point out, since Fi invites seems scarce ATM, you can get wifi coverage via Google Voice already. Just pay $20(once) to transfer your cell number to google voice. Downside is that it will use your data connection when receiving a call on your cell network, and that still kinda sucks...

    Well, yeah, that's pretty dumb. Not checking that your query failed to find anything, or you memory allocation failed, or http request returned a None...I mean, how has he not been burned by this already? Should just be habit at this point.

    Ah, you have a decent idea of how the software is being used and what information may be passed to it. Those types of situations, skipping null checks might be ok.

    Can you explain his view on that a bit more? I work for a company that make static analysis software and missing null checks is one of the things it warns about. It's such a headache to track down later on and such a small cost performance wise, why not do it?
