    Sounds like Starving Buzzard and Hounds all over again. To be fair, MCT, Sylvannas, and Flamestrike(maybe Consecrate?) are similar in that you are basically punished for playing more minions.

    You were right, the organization servicing the water did have a report available on the hardness. The "Total Hardness" for my area being 120-150 mg/l. Guess I should fix the water softener and then figure out how to turn it down. Those slimey showers were annoying.

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

    If you just need something in the background, I suggest getting something that can youtube/pandora/netflix quite easily. I purchased the nvidia shield recently and its voice recognition and searching is quite good. Now I can finally share all those stupid youtube videos with my wife!

    I'm in the NE, on city water that comes from Cayuga Lake. No idea how to determine how hard my water is aside from buildup on my shower head.

    How big a deal is a water softener? Never had one until a bought my place a couple years ago. Made the shower water feel slimey and it took forever to rinse off soap and shampoo. So I tried lowering the amount of salt and ended up breaking it(unscrewed a screw in the dial and now it won't...

    Tavern Brawl's just been a huge fucking dumpster fire. The game mode is not fun at all and outside of the -2 cost deathrattle, required almost 0 thought. Worse is that it siphons noobs off the other play modes so that they become even more competitive. Which, by itself, is fine. But coupled...

    Europa Universalis IV

    Combat mechanics is probably the next thing I know very little about. My current standard is to build 1 army full of 13 merc infantry, 4 regular cavalry, 5 regular cannon and 1 regular army with the same amount of units, all regular, and 1 less infantry(to easily tell them apart so the merc...

    They're revealing the bulk of the rest of the set on twitch now. They gave the warrior two decent 2 drops but made them both rares. Warriors are going to sucks even worse in arena after this expansion.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yes. The yellow -> legendary recipe to can roll ancient too. I think the mat cost with that recipe more than balances out the chance to get an base item you don't want.

    I'm not sure the reroll legendary recipe will be used at all. It can make an ancient item non-ancient and it costs way too many souls.

    As someone who's now playing ranked more(as in, more than when my quest log is full and arena won't finish any of them) because they've added something more than a card back, I kinda don't want them to nerf patron warrior. Let me be clear, pulling off those combos with the grim patron or...

    How is that a turn 10 combo? Dreadsteed is one of the few cards that can be safely played the turn previous. If it gets silenced/hexed/polyd before you play your Anima Golem, the Dreadsteed might have been useful anyway. Not sure what you're going to do next turn though.

    Taking two turns to setup your combo is by definition not OTK. It's turn 5 at best with coin.

    Can you link that? Because that basically sounds like a turn 6 OTK with sorc's apprentice.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Crusaders are in an ok place. Their typical group role of zDPS and gather/lockdown mobs is essentially dead next patch since the CC resistance cap is being raised to 95%. Rolands is a decent set. I personally don't like the AE shape of the Shield Bash runes, and Sweep's only competitive...

    And given that the reforge recipe currently takes 50 souls, it might actually be cheaper to make an ancient legendary from the rare -> legendary recipe. Oh, also that the reforge recipe can make your ancient legendary non-ancient. Fun!

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    I agree, it doesn't make much sense. But I imagine most of us are on the "not getting raises even in line with cost of living increases" side of the discussion. Do we have any accounting or HR types here that could explain the other side?

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    ftfy From the company's perspective, it's understandable. 1.05^20 is pretty big from just a numbers standpoint. But then again, I'd think someone who's been with the company getting substantial raises each year is going to be worth 2.5x what they were 20 years ago.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    New patch is up on the PTR. It looks pretty sparse, so I'm guessing late August, early September for S4. Disappointing that they are enforcing cooldown initiation after animation for SSS and Falling Sword. Half-assed restrictions like that means there's bigger problems lurking.
