Stayed up way too late, but got legend at #Hearthstone tonight. Played an aggro demon hunter to get there, went 29-17 tonight to get it. Broke even against other DHs, beat hunter, mage, rogue pretty soundly. Image
I didn't even know they made 20,000 legends...
#Hearthstone #legend

Broke 20k. Now for the 18000s! Image
#Hearthstone #onToTop10k

Broke 19k. Beat 3 priests in a row. I'm on the roll!

Broke 16k. I am on the roll right now! 8 wins in a row. (I kinda thought it was funny how many were in legend, but now I think I have a chance to get to 4 digits!)

Broke 15k! I am on the roll right now! 9 wins in a row.

Broke 14k! I am on the roll right now!

Apparently moving up legend and counting by thousands is a bit too celebratory...

Broke 13k! I am STILL on the roll!

(this has to slow down eventually, I'm 18-5 at legend and 6-0 vs other Demon Hunters) Image

Broke 12k! New night, no matter. Still on the roll!

Well, this is what I topped out at. 11,546.

I'll take it. It was a decent run, but once I got to mid-legend(really? 15k mid legend?) I started struggling with mages and rogues a bit more. Part of it was better players, part of it was I was drawing heavy a LOT.
I did end up dropping the ooze for a Sightless Watcher. I used ooze effectively very rarely, but Watcher is playable almost every turn.

I'm not convinced two Skull of Gul'dan are essential, either. One is good, but I've gotten pretty stuck with two of them in my hand.
If it's not outcast, six mana to just draw on turn 6-8 in a tempo deck is pretty crippling.

I might try just running one Skull and running a Maiev. That feels like it might give me more pace early. I'd rather draw Maiev probably 8 out 10 times over skull.

@nhannahjones @AlecMacGillis I taught in the inner city in Indianapolis for four years. By the fourth year I had seniority over 90% of the staff.

My salary was frozen - I never received a pay raise, never moved up the pay scale. However, the cost of my insurance went up every year.

1/
@nhannahjones @AlecMacGillis I took home less than $500 a week for teaching there. I could afford it - by living alone in a 400 square foot apartment. Otherwise it would have been renting with multiple roomates. As a professional with multiple degrees.

I did not choose that job because of my selfishness.
2/
@nhannahjones @AlecMacGillis Every day was an exercise in violence. The culture was one of anger. I understand it better now, but it was stress 100% of the time. There were fights every day between students and I was assaulted by a student at least once every year I taught there.

People criticized the last Fantastic Four movie, perhaps even more harshly than the previous two (which were terrible).

I kind of liked it as a whole. But I had issues with how the FF got their powers- I never thought of Reed Richards as that irresponsible.

1/
But as I'm rereading old Amazing Spider-Man comics, I got to issue 100, where VERY responsible (it's kind of his thing) Peter Parker used an untested drug on himself to try to rid himself of his spider powers

2/
in order to be able to commit fully to Gwen. It of course backfired and he was 6 armed Spider-Man for 3 issues.

But it led to three great comics. I think ASM 100-102, Morbius, Lizard, and Six-arm Spidey in a free for all, trying to stop Morbius, stop the Lizard and save Pete.

and by the way @Austin_Police , notice that i put the bar at you doing a good job as "not shooting black people".

You've set the bar so low, that we'd think you were doing a good job if you just... didn't do anything. That's the bar now.

"Didn't assault anyone today - I rule!"
You're too fucking illegitimate and lazy to even pay 10 people to try to forge thank you letters.

Fuck.

It's just so fucking gross. Can't you see that? Can't you see what you've become...

goddamit. It's not what you've become. It's what you always were.

(continued)
and many of us are only now seeing it. I guess that's why you think this is enough. Because you had ignorant me, and people like me, believing that you were mostly ok.

I'm now sickened every day by live videos of what police are doing. Was my head in the sand?

So my ranking is right at 4000 in legend in #Hearthstone . I feel like I lose about 500 ranks a day if I don't play, so I'm going to try to make a run for the next 3 hours and see if I can move up the ladder.
So I'd gone 19-13 to get from 5100 down to 4000, where I started today. Playing tempo DH, I went 10-13 and somehow dropped down to 5395...

I drop so much more for a loss than I gain when I win.

I might practice with warrior some, or dragon hunter.
Well, I woke up at legend 5524. I'm going to play warrior today and try to get top 4000. Is that reasonable?

As I'm home alone, I'm listening to "The 50 greatest live albums ever" according to NME (whatever that is). I figured here was as good a place as any to record my journey.

(I'm starting at 30 because I didn't think of this until I'd listened to a bunch)

nme.com/list/the-50-gr…
30 is Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii. I'm listening to the double album, which is 2 hours of Elvis, which seems a bit like overkill.
It was... ok. The second half of the double album is the rehearsal for the show and I don't need to hear the whole thing again.
I think an hour of Elvis is fine. This was '73, so it was very big band-ish, which I guess isn't my favorite Elvis?

When I was in college in my 30s in Minnesota, outside the six science buildings was a somewhat crazy homeless man that would perform for tips. Some days he'd play guitar and sing songs that he made up on the spot.

1/
Other days he'd read Harry Potter, but he'd read it like he was a Minister reading the Gospel. (It worked, quite honestly, and I've never looked at those books the same)

2/
There was a group of entitled jackasses in my Differential Equations class that were completely horrible young men. They hated everything that wasn't them - the Japanese professor (who was awesome), the girls in class, the old guy in class, and the homeless guy.
