    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    Would have definitely preferred to have some kind of internship program for teaching, instead of dropping thousands and thousands of dollars on gen-eds that were just some grad student reading a book aloud to the class. The entire point of teaching is to help students engage with and understand...

    First World Problems

    I can't decide whether to buy more $100+ pieces of cardboard, or sell the ones I've got to buy other expensive things.

    Thicket was very easy, when I said noticeable I didn't mean increasing difficulty, I meant "Oh, there's something new happening," many fights had increases in damage of abilities/speed of movement, but otherwise felt mostly the same. The flower adds on the tree boss in Dark Thicket didn't add...

    Halls of Valor was the only mythic we did where it actually felt "mythic," and that was pretty much only Odin's fight. Mythic 0 definitely just feels like heroic for slightly higher ilvl. But that may in large part be due to running it with low-mobility classes and having to restart Odin a...

    Vehicles needed to be adjacent to a block with a "tapping matters" mechanic like Inspire, Lorwyn/Shadowmoor Merfolk, or the Untap-symbol-costed cards, so that it could be justified on synergy-basis. I doubt any of them will be good enough for constructed, for the same reasons Equipment tends to...

    Daretti's wheelchair-bound. That wheelchair just happens to have mechanical spider legs. Magic doesn't need fat characters, it has its playerbase for that. Urza also lost his entire body, but that didn't stop him from pursuing his dream of being a giant death laser. Truly inspirational.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Playing an Iksar Warrior when they came out was an interesting experience. You pretty much had to do their Iksar Class Armor questline in the 30s/40s because you couldn't wear any of the normal warrior quest/twink gear. The Iksar weapon quests were just cool. It was like having a mini-epic...

    Yeah, as did Warriors and Rogues. Halfling Warrior Master Lazy Race. Sneak/Hide AFK, and ~20% less exp per level. Dat Receding Hairline and Potbelly, yo. I believe the reasoning on the Halfling EXP bonus was that nobody wanted to play the little turdburglars on beta. Lame EQ Memory: Spent...

    It's fine, mastery got hotfixed back to buffing Attack Power. Also, expansion launch is the only reason left as to why I'm glad to be on a backwater wasteland server. There's been connection issues/bottlenecks for every Expansion, but I've never had the server down a high enough % of the day...

    Also, the "bulk" rares in Kamigawa tend to be worth a bit more than most sets, due to EDH and the large playerbase die-off that coincided with Mirrodin-Kamigawa. Like, $1-2 instead of $0.35 for the legendaries.

    RE Khane: You can get a functionally unlimited amount of AP per week from overland drops/dungeon grinding. It's just vastly less efficient than doing your set daily/weekly lockouts. Like, "your time is vastly better spent working on alts" less efficient. RE Nola: I'd probably level/work on...

    Step 1: Complete a quest at level 100 to get your Artifact for the spec you want to level with. Step 2: Get items throughout legion that are consumeable, and give "artifact power" to your currently equipped artifact. AP is a pool of points in your Artifact that you'll spend to buy things for...

    Conspiracy 2 release was a lot of fun. Having a few 4 toughness butts in your deck to discourage aggression seemed pretty key to actually winning the multiplayer rounds. Goad is hilariously good. It seems like a small tweak from normal threaten, but that tweak has huge gameplay repercussions...

    Yeah, with minimal haste and all your artifact's golden dragons at 110 you're basically GCD locked, so it definitely doesn't feel slow in terms of combat pacing. In terms of walking around it feels so slooooooooow, especially after playing the DH.

    I mean, it seems like bad infect because they're the same basic deck. A creature based combo deck. They both have similar kill-turns, share some cards from iteration to iteration, and play out very similarly from the other side of the table. They have different sideboard plans available to...

    Whenever you met a Female Wood Elf Druid you waited to see RP Emotes attached to their heals. If they appeared, then the player would just be annoying; if they did not, the players tended to be conniving assholes. Halfling Druids tended to be pretty chill/confused that someone was actually...

    Managed to snag my FTV at retail, although it was a bit of a squeeze, as the store I normally buy it at had its allocation cut down to one box of 6 FTVs. New templating Umezawa's Jitte is much nicer to read than old templating.

    I was so psyched when Grafted Exoskeleton came out, since I'd been playing Brion Stoutarm EDH for years. It lasted in the deck for about 2 weeks before I removed it at the playgroup's request. Apparently Infect is even more annoying when its your own stolen and flung guy infecting you out.
