Not gonna help them when places like Publix can offer larger, better quality sandwiches at the same or lower prices. Once upon a time Subway was an ok sandwich at a decent price but now they're just overpriced garbage and from the sound of it the plan is to cut portions even further

We're seeing an interesting paradigm shift so far this season. Rick is doing basically fuck-all while Morty is off having relationships and adventures. In the first ep Rick spends the entire B plot kowtowing to someone he, arguably, should wipe the floor with before getting completely bodied when not-Narnia's future tech literally sucks all the cybernetic enhancements right out of his body.The second episode is kind of a wash but even there Rick C-137 was a bit character rather than a main one.In the third ep he again goes off on the B plot where he's got a case of one-itis for some random who immediately ditches him once she's out of danger and he does fuck all about it. Kinda feels like its going from being the RICK and morty show to being the rick and MORTY show, and that might be a good thing. Rick is eating large slices of humble pie for awhile now and it seems to be wearing on him, while Morty is getting more confident, more capable, and more certain of what he wants in life. I definitely am missing some good Rick over the top OP hijinx and hope we get some more of that eventually but I am definitely OK with Morty being something besides Rick's whipping boy

The charges are related to an alleged interaction between him and a 15-year-old child at a Cleveland nightclub in Dec. 2017.

Ok so I can see a world where someone picks up a girl at a night club thinking she's old enough to, y'know, be in an adult entertainment facility and not realize she's underage. Why was she even there?

it was discovered by authorities that Bell had an established relationship with the child for several years prior to the alleged interaction, which was supposedly at times sexual in nature.

its how you make a spell multi targetting in dragon quest

Not quite. Each spell element (except Crack) is either single or multi target by default. The basic Crack spell is single but all higher spells in the element are multi. Anyway, Dragon Quest spells add prefixes, suffixes, or both to the basic spell name to indicate spell level (with a couple of exceptions where some levels get a new name entirely). The level 1 spells are Frizz (single target fire), Sizz (multi target fire, has a different resist to Frizz despite both being fire), Crack, Woosh, Zap, Zam, and Bang. For tier 2 it adds the suffix "le" to the base spell name giving us Frizzle, Sizzle, Crackle (Crackle is multi target where the tier 1 was single target, and the rest of the spell line will be multi target from here), Swoosh, Zapple, Zammle, and Boom. Tier 3 adds the prefix "Ka" to the base spell (or the tier 2 spell for Woosh and Bang element) giving us Kafrizz, Kasizz, Kacrack, Kaswoosh, Kazap, Kazam, and Kaboom. For the final tier, which are used very sparingly in the games, you use both "Ka" and "le" with the spell name giving us Kafrizzle, Kasizzle, Kacrackle, Kaswoosh, Kazapple, Kazammle, and Kaboomle for the highest tier of elemental spells.

A few odd bits of trivia about these spells:

- In the original English DQ Frizz and Frizzle were known as Hurt and Hurtmore.
-In subsequent English games the Frizz spells were Blaze/Blazemore/Blazemost, Sizz spells were Firebal/Firebane/Firebolt, Woosh was Infernos/Infermore/Infermost, Crack spells were Icebolt/Snowblast/Blizzard and the Zap spells were all over the place with the names being Zap/Lightning/Thordain but with Lightning and Zap's order changing from game to game. Bang and Boom were the same but it was Explodet rather than Kaboom. The Zam spell did not exist prior to the spells being renamed in the newer games.
-Despite Frizz being the weakest spell in the games, Kafrizz (and when it is in a game Kafrizzle) is typically the spell with the highest damage range due to it being the only single target high level spell.
In addition to the elements listed in the spells, the games often have several additional elements like Earth that magic spells do not exist for. These elements usually come into play via martial arts skills, such as Earth element for the various Rock Throw style abilities.

Diablo 1 was probably the game that *defined* my childhood. I started playing it way too early and it definitely warped my personality a bit... But aside from that it was a damn good game that would still be amazing today with a few updates. The Hellfire expansion (released by Sierra rather than Blizzard) addressed some of these but frankly just revamping the game onto the Diablo 2 engine would fix every complaint I have about the game. Implement a stash to hold items/gold, increase movement speed. and add in the Unique enemy auras/traits for a bit of challenge. I don't think it needs anything else. Maybe make the two Hellfire expansion dungeons legit and balance them, possibly expand the prefix/suffix list. Add in runes and rune words if you're feeling frisky.

I've thought this over before and there just doesn't seem to be a good solution that is fair to everyone. Forcing trans women to compete with men puts trans women at a disadvantage. Forcing cis women to compete with trans women puts the cis women at a disadvantage. When there isn't a clear answer the best fit solution is the one which hurts the least number of people, which in this case would ban trans women from competing against cis women. Its a shitty solution and I don't like it but if a league consists of, say, 100 cis women and 1 trans woman then you take the option that is unfair to 1 person over the option that is unfair to 100 people.

The flipside that sucks is that trans men don't face this quandary. Men's sports has pretty much always been about whoever can perform the best and if they have the chops to perform at the top then they'd get in even if they were cis women. The entire point of having a women's league is to define who is and is not allowed to play in it.

Read this as Tenser's and came in prepared to gripe about how bad it is in 5e as well.

http://dnd5ed.wikidot.com/spell:tensers-transformation

+2d12 force damage is actually pretty good
+Free advantage
+Extra Attack if you do not have it
+50 temp HP is nothing to sneeze at

-Can't cast other spells at all while using it AND it takes concentration
- Does not grant Extra Attacks if you already have that (from Bladesinger or multiclassing into a Martial class)
-Does not actually buff stats so your bonus to hit is probably still garbage even with advantage.
-Inflicts a level of exhaustion when it ends, effectively nerfing you into the ground until you get a long rest or restoration spell
-As a wizard your armor class is trash and you cannot cast Shield as a reaction while Tenser's is active so if you try to front line that AC is gonna go down fast.

Ironically, if the Extra Attack actually stacked and it didn't inflict exhaustion this would be pretty great for a multiclass Wizard/melee class (or Bladesinger). As it is, it is basically worthless except in some extremely niche cases. One of those niche cases is pretty hilarious though. Tenser's Archer main basically gets free advantage and +2d12 force damage since its easy for Wizards to pump Dex anyway. Keeps you mostly out of harms way while you snipe with a bow of choice. Combine with Crossbow Expert, two Hand Crossbows, and Sharpshooter to make your DM cry as you pump out 3d4 + 6d12 + 30 damage per round from half a mile away.

Final bit of that run. Ran pretty good while I was at work. Unfortunately I don't have another revive to check enemy stats or anything. Still, I feel like loop 210 is a great proof of concept
---

Please, call me Bolt

Ok, finished upgrading all gear and this is the outcome. This time I got the Vampire's stats in the screencap. Using Vampires as the baseline because they're the most powerful monster on the loop still since I used Road Lamps to prevent any more Scorch Worm spawns (their Def scales stupidly quick apparently). So my DTA is 910 but due to enemy Defense I'm actually only doing 534 to Vampires but that is still like 4x their HP total. Gonna let this run while I'm at work and will have a finale afterwards.

Ran for 50ish loops unattended, not interacted with it at all yet so not sure what killed me. Lets revive and see what happened...

Hmm... Think I actually just got unlucky with too many enemies dodging at once. The only things alive were a Vampire and a Spider, both of whom still had below 80 HP. The only change I made was to equip a new Amulet (new one has more Magic Shield, enough to soak 2 hits, and more Damage To All) and spend my perk points on Old Scars and Smoke Screen. Not sure either actually DO anything with this setup (hopefully Smoke Screen works with damage to my Magic Shield) but otherwise it is basically the same. Let's run it awhile again.

EDIT: Ah, I see... Enemy defense has scaled enough so that I'm only doing 25ish damage. I still 1 shot anything I directly target but everything else takes 2-3 swings to kill. Bumping my equipment 90 levels should resolve this so I may have to play manually for awhile to upgrade.

Note that I'm maxed on almost every resource. This is purely academic at this point.

Please, call me Bolt

Alright so this is the setup I have right now to afk.

https://i.imgur.com/YtNr1g5.png

Take special note of my HP. Its that low because with so many Desert/Dunes tiles down everything is 99% Withered, meaning it has 1% of its normal max HP. Most enemies have around 40ish HP right now and it should grow *extremely* slowly. My Damage To All is currently 141 (could be slightly higher but I decided to hedge my bets and give up DTA on my boots to max out Evade) so enemy HP can roughly triple before I stop one shotting entire fights (and with this much Attack Speed I attack 3ish times before anything else can move).

This setup isn't quite ideal. Without Bookery tiles down I can't farm the stuff for Astral Orbs but in other runs the Tome enemies have always been what ends it prematurely since they give everything a Magic Shield similar to the Rogue's that likewise is not affected by Wither, meaning eventually enemies will outscale my AFK damage. The best way to afk farm those seems to be to break down other resources with Alchemy and craft them as needed.

Gonna go sleep for 7ish hours and gonna let this run overnight. Even if I die I have the Supplies perk that lets me stash stuff in camp on every loop and the Omnicron's Technique perk to revive myself one time so this is pretty foolproof. I think it runs til I stop it or the game crashes lol

Act 3 boss is kinda bs, ngl

I have a feeling the act 3 boss might be designed for the Necromancer class. Seems like each boss is built so that one class can absolutely stomp on in. Lich attacks super slow so the Warrior can stack HP regen and easily heal off its hits, the Priestess keeps summoning reflections and the Rogue can straight up DPS rush her with pure Attack Speed. I'm wondering if the Necro can just keep tossing skeletons at the Hunter, hiding behind an absolute mountain of bony bois. Gonna try it as soon as I perfect this infinite loop thing. I don't think it will work in Act 3 very well. Enemies have too many special abilities, plus IDK how easily the Rogue can clear the boss. Gonna try to set it up again in Act 2
---

Please, call me Bolt

So I tried a fun thing. I read an "infinite loop" build somewhere and figured I'd give it a shot. Basically it is Rogue maxing Damage To All and Attack Speed and spamming Deserts/Dunes until enemy HP gets down to 1%. Rogue will hit the Evade cap with just boots eventually and the Magic Shield from Rogue's amulet is not affected by Desert/Dune's Wither effect. So you end up hitting 4+ times per second, doing like 200+ damage to all enemies (who are reduced to 1% of their usual HP), evade 75% of anything that survives long enough to hit you, and soak at least 1 hit from your Shield before anything can even get at your HP bar. After that you just... afk loops lol. I set it up before I went to work and it ran thru loop 70 before I died. I only had HP withered to 23% though so it probably would have worked better. I basically maxed out ever single gatherable resource though since I had the perk that let me stash 10% of everything I had collected when I passed the campfire. I ended up losing like 4 Pitiful Remains and 3 Shapeless Mass lol

Holy crap, Rogue is so much more powerful than the Warrior its not even funny. You lose the shield to gain a second weapon slot (damage stacks), you lose your Ring slot for boots, and your bonus slot with the Arsenal card on the field is an amulet that provides a temp HP shield at the start of *every* fight. So you do way more damage (seriously, more than double) at the cost of having less defense BUT you get a ton of bonus HP AND waaaaay more evasion (because boots have an easy +20% evade).

The flip side is you don't earn equipment from kills, you get trophies instead. You cash in trophies at your Campfire and gain a full bag of equipment all at once. This seems bad but honestly I like it. Assuming you can make it around the loop twice you probably get a decent assortment of gear (and most importantly a second weapon) enough to carry you and then you only need to micromanage gear at the beginning of each loop. Rogue honestly feels close to an idle game

Beat the Lich on my 4th try. Protip: Stop placing Meadows/Rocks/Mountains unless you have a good reason to do so. The tiny amount of stats they provide aren't really worth the progress towards the boss bar. Do a 3x3 square of rocks/mountains and use Meadows to surround Treasuries. Otherwise let them die in your hand for the memory fragments. The boss only spawns once you've placed enough tiles so if you quit placing tiles you can make loops, get better gear, and keep powering up

Idle Skilling, the first game made by LavaFlame2 before Legends Of Idleon, is on both PC and mobile and has a ton of content if you've not tried it. Sections of it are a bit grindy (looking at you, all of frickin' Pets content) but it took me about a year of active play to pretty much max it out. Unfortunately its still like 1 major update from "complete" and all his time is going into Legends Of Idleon (an MMO idle game, wat) so it may be awhile before Idle Skilling gets finished :/

Light just got too full of himself, he'd been at it for so long that he basically thought he was a literal god that could do no wrong, especially since he defeated L. I'd say his decline is pretty logical.

Then the show needed to spend more time building on that. We went from the ep with L's death where Light was basically an unstoppable murder machine who was planning weeks ahead of his opponent to *Benny Hill Theme intensifies* with no real link between the two. In part 1 Light and L go back and forth, each having the upper hand at times. In part 2 Light is fighting a defensive battle almost the entire time and almost never is able to actually outhink Near. Yeah, at one point her kills Near's entire task force but it barely even slows him down, Light was just outclassed the entire time and its bad writing.

It does suck, ending makes it worth it though.

Honestly, I hate the ending. I'm fine with Light losing, but his loss made basically zero sense. He was built up in part 1 as this flawless logician and in part 2 it works hard to tear that all down. If part 2 had progressed logically Light would not have lost the way he did. A different way, perhaps, but not the way it played out. He started reacting to things stupidly and emotionally for basically no reason, made choices that part 1 Light never would have made. The disconnect between the two is just galling
