    Standard distribution != RNG, proposal rejected, not Blizzardy enough.

    Hearthstone

    Rarity meaning anything in an adventure, outside of arena, is just silly. We all know of tons of instances where cards of "lesser" rarity are much better. Someone suggested that they continually give mage high quality commons so that there's a consistent, easy to play class for new players in...

    Keyboards & Mice

    I actually thought of doing this. The best buy in my area is so small they don't have any mechanical keyboards :( I gave up on buying one after that, I don't want to buy something tactile without feeling it first.

    Hearthstone

    I'm not sure I agree. You can obviously factor out the damage and healing component of both spells. Fireball does 6 damage for 4, Stormcrack and Shadowbolt do 4 damage for 3, so 5 damage is ~3.5 mana. Obviously, targetable healing for 6 is worth 2 manage(Holy Light). So a random 5-cost...

    Firelands a common but Moonglade a rare. Arena balance, how does it work?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Microwaving, boiling, steaming? No thanks. I don't eat hot dogs too often, the meat is too finely ground and leads to a "squishy" texture. The best methods add crispy texture to the skin while driving out moisture to combat that squishiness. So, grilling, pan frying(or deep frying, but never...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    There's a Diablo project that's hiring. D4 is not confirmed. Could be anything really. D4: Return of the RMAH(the true Lord of Terror), World of Diablocraft, Clash of Diablos, Angry Demons, Diablostone.

    I don't know much about Lisp but I've used a bit of scheme, which I understand is based on Lisp. I'm not sure it would qualify for the ease of use category.

    Is that even possible? Seems like it's always been pick 2: Ease of use Abstraction Performance I've been very pleased with Python libraries implemented in C. cElementTree is up 5x faster than ElementTree which makes me wonder why ElementTree even exists. Actually, scratch that, I think...

    Actually, you don't even need KT technically. Taunt + Mass Dispel on a full board will make the AI unable to summon more minions and the existing ones will be unable to attack. KT + Taunt is just to exploit stupid AI until you can get all of the AI's taunt minions silenced. Throw in some...

    What does Elixir do that Ruby cannot incorporate in a version update? Honest question, I have no experience with either language.

    Are we at the point where we don't need new languages? C, Java, and Python seem adaptable enough that they evolve to incorporate new features. Learning new languages is a giant pain in the ass.

    Night elves wouldn't exist in the Eastern Kingdoms when Medivh was young! Has anyone managed to install Hearthstone on a Shield TV or similar device? I want to play on my TV without having to stream it from my computer. I know the Shield TV is powerful enough if my Nexus 5 can handle it.

    People that participate in the data gathering for VS(it's automated via a program) are a small subset of the people willing to try OTK warrior.

    I usually win versus zoo as dragon warrior unless they get their 2xPO Leeroy combo. Maybe your zoo list is different enough from the common list in that data. But what does that have to do with "trust"? They're just numbers, they can't lie. And neither decks are particularly hard to play.

    My guess is that the antiquated text messaging system won't allow for it. Remember, text messaging is based on piggy backing what are essentially keep alive packets in the cell phone world. It's been stretched very far.

    Fair enough, I was a bit harsh in my response. I thought corn starch was superior in that setting though, if you have to thicken an already started liquid.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm pretty sure I remember you working in the restaurant industry. But adding flour to water-based liquid is guaranteed to get clumps. It's like sauce thickening 101. Also, why discard to fond from browning the meat? I like making sausage gravy in the same pan and just deglazing with...

    VS numbers disagree. It's slightly favored vs midrange hunter and even versus most warrior archetypes. Its only weaknesses are slightly unfavorable matchups versus shaman(midrange and aggro) and c'thun warrior. It's probably the most consistent across-the-board deck atm, but probably not the...

    Warrior has its counters in hunter and secret paladin. On top of that, it's not just one warrior deck but many. Honestly, what's a better meta than this?

    Hearthstone

    I'd enjoy deckbuilding more if I could coherently trace failures(and wins?) back to concrete causes. So much of this game is RNG that it obfuscates marginal data. On top of that, at what sample size do you start making that judgement of what cards to tweak?

    Uh...ok? I mean, it fits the warlock zoo theme and you get 6/6 worth of stats for 5 mana...just seems too expensive. Also, not sure what would be cut to make room a 5 mana spell. Forbidden Summoning still likely better.

    I never got the impression he was a savior for anyone. Maybe for the Teblor, but he seems to reprioritize that early on.
