Appreciations of the day

[Dracos]

It was a nice enough day.

In five months, I've memorized all of the jouyou kanji, giving me the ability to read kanji at the high school level.

I look forward to not spending an hour every day practicing flashcards anymore.

Practicing kanji makes me really sleepy for some reason.

Through the magic of paperwork, I have convinced the IRS to stop saying I owe an additional two thousand dollars.

HELLO NYQUIL I LOOOOOVE YOUUUU HEARTHEARTHEART

[Merc]

Some days I just feel so sick and tired of hearthstone and want nothing to do with it for weeks.

Other days? Other days I get to pull a Raza the Chained + Coldarra Drake combo as a druid in a game I had all but given up on. For the curious, both those cards belong to other classes so I normally wouldn't have access to them as a druid.

Druid is the one class that can get an infinite damage attack with those cards when they can pull off playing the combo. (Technically other classes can do infinite damage with it too, just not in a single attack unless adding other cards to combo)

Going to an Iron Maiden concert on Wednesday.

SUCH EXCITEMENT.

[Dracos]

Rock harder.

Twenty years after playing the Diablo 1 demo, then never getting the chance to play the actual game, I have finally beaten the Butcher.

I think back to those days, reading printed game guides on this boss that was reportedly too strong to match in a physical fight at regular levels. How one might prevail by shooting it from behind the safety of a closed door or glitching its pathfinding in the downward stairs. So many nights back then were spent wondering how I could win without dying. Had nightmares about it, honestly.

I entered the room with a plan, and abandoned it three seconds after the cutscene played, resorting to my fallback.

Step one: block the Butcher's cleaver with my baseline Wizard health pool.
Step two: spam level 10 firebolt at it and pray it dies before I run out of potions.

Nightmares slain.

And now you can BE your nightmare in Heroes of the Storm, where you can play as the Butcher and chop up other players!

[KLSymph]

Huh, I didn't even know the Butcher was in HotS.

IRON MAIDEN WAS AMAZING

Wonder what the essential difference between East Coast and West Coast boils down to.

I live in the midwest. Where does that put me then?

[Yuthirin]

Wonder what the essential difference between East Coast and West Coast boils down to.

One is on the east side of the continent, the other is on the west side.
