Being mostly agnostic towards both the Halloween franchise and Rob Zombie, I thought it was ok.  But, a fairly young kid shouldn’t be watching it, in my opinion.

Yeah, but at least this time the thing that makes us special seems to (so far) be that we can go into and leave the Maw as we please, instead of having access to some crazy artifact/ability/whatever.

I guess it depends on what you want out of the story, because I find Shadowlands refreshing specifically because it has mostly sidelined the main faction people, and the major players we’re dealing with are mostly new. I’m sure that eventually, Thrall and Jaina’s Merry Band of Idiots will factor in somehow, but I…

I don’t know how you can say that there’s no cohesive story. Each zone is different - that’s the whole idea. But each zone is dealing with an anima shortage, because the cycle of life and death has been broken by Sylvanas and The Jailer, and what anima there is is being funneled to the Maw with help from Denathrius.

I am like that pretty frequently with other flavors. I get told pretty frequently about flavors that I don’t like aren’t able to be tasted (most often with coconut, but other flavors as well), but I can always taste them. Even with flavors that I don’t feel strongly about, I can still taste them.

I’m the same way. I love the smell of coffee, and I like coffee flavored things. But in order to drink coffee, I have to put so much cream and sugar in it, that I might as well just drink a soda (or have a milkshake, in the case of Frappacinos from Starbucks).

I feel like this cycle is becoming even more pronounced now, and I really can’t tell if it’s sincere or not.

I can sorta-kinda see why a parent would bring their kid to see Deadpool if they didn’t know. I still think that the R rating should give you pause and cause you to do some research as a parent, but I’m also not a parent so who knows.  

The first 3? 4? seasons of Dexter were so fucking good, and then it just spiraled so quickly. Once Dexter stopped making no-nonsense rational decisions in favor of impulsive, irrational decisions and thereby thoroughly betraying the character, it went downhill really fast.

Yeah, Democrats need to stop pulling punches. It’s not doing any good, and it’s pretty clear that the American populace as a whole struggles mightily with nuance.

the GOP thinks helping people is a punchline to a joke

Not exploit, educate. We need to help not hate. They hate, we help.

Have a bottle of Last Dab that is 80% full and idk how i’m going to get rid of the rest of it...

For me, a lot of it was just learning what the different gods had to offer and how the boon system works. Obviously what gods are available is largely RNG (keepsakes notwithstanding), but knowing which god(s) excel at what, and knowing what you could get goes a long way. With that kind of knowledge, you can usually…

“Clunky” is mine.  All of these words (and others I can’t think of at the moment) are used as lazy shorthand for “writers”.

I am also on that oldest edge, and have also experienced the same thing.

For what it’s worth, Radiant difficulty doesn’t actually decrease the difficulty of combat- just increases the various rewards, thus lowering time investment. Of course, that is in and of itself a difficulty decrease, but one that keeps the spirit of the game pretty well intact in my opinion.

At some point, Blizzard decided that 15 ilvls (~15% increase in primary stats, ~9% difference in secondary) was the necessary jump to make it feel like you’re progressing.

The ilvl problem is one Blizzard created for themselves, and it won’t be fixed as long as they have 4 raid difficulties per tier, 3 base dungeon difficulties, and Mythic+.

I skipped MoP entirely, so I chose it to level through on my priest, as I’d never really done anything outside of the first zone or so. It’s incredibly boring, and there’s too many quests.
