I hate playing with slow starters because having random trash fights sometimes go first against you just leads to a lot of wasted time over the course of a playthrough. It also leads to a lot of hassle having to heal them up after they take chip damage over a lot of fights, whereas a fast Pokemon will usually just OHKO their way through everything, saving a lot of time and effort.
Similar problem I'm experiencing - I like that this gen and x/y are increasing the exp gains such that they actually make better use of the high levels in the game, but just by trying to catch most of the pokemon in each area (excluding the 5% and 1% drops, and not evolving everything I catch) I still accidentally end up like 10+ levels ahead of everything and just ohko the main story fights, which I don't really like.
Conversely I'm pretty happy with the starters this gen, between a nerdy plant thing, something everyone thinks is transgender, and a Japanese wrestler, it's like they tried to cover all my bases. I love it.

How trivial is it to vpn a phone? You can download programs to do it. I think Hola is one?
Hola is an easy to use and good one, although I've read reports about some potential legal issues that you could hypothetically run into. For some apps (like the WWE network) you'll also need a GPS spoofer, which is safe and trivial. At most you'll need to turn on app#1, hit the "on" button, open app#2, hit the "on" button, and then open whatever app you're trying to open.
Inconvenient enough that I wouldn't bother trying to explain it to non-techy parents or grandparents, but for personal use it's simple and there's plenty of guides on it if you google anyway.

Incineroar is really just supposed to be a polynesian heel. Not really anything to do with being Japanese.

So, I was playing Faeria a lot.
I really really liked it.
Then they added these new cards that are really powerful and have a lot of random elements to them.
And now I hate it.
And I'm sad.

Don't you know, RANDOM IS FUN!!!!!

Card games are all about RANDOM anyway! Your subjective sense of fun is inferior to our subjective sense of game design!

Losing to Dragon Reno Priest is so rage-inducing. Nevermind all their misplays, their fuck-ups bought back by a lucky Operative, etc. it's the fucking epitome of variance roulette, between a deck that needs some specific cards in hand to get value and one that requires you to only play singletons to get value.
Get rightfully fucked when you miss one half of your pre-requisites, or just win without having to try when you get whelp -> historian -> discover 3-drop -> kazakus -> operative, with Reno available on curve too if needed.

Will someone with DotA 2 knowledge explain 7.00 to me when they understand it?
I mean, I know that will be nearly impossible but I'd love a recap of the chilltoad-induced madness.

I lost a game today because a priest thought-stole a mountain giant on turn 3 after not playing a single other card and a prep, and then got 3 more copies of that prep throughout the game for huge swing turns. I ran 1x Preparation. he ran 4x prep. :<

Uh.
The short of it.
Talents like HOTS.
Healing wells like HOTS.
All heroes have less total stats but can in theory have more if talented.
Support talents are very good, carry ones are early game focused. Level 25 talents have a "2nd" ahgs affect that makes thing interesting. The support ones are usually game breaking but its harder to get there for them.
Hand of Midas is probably a must buy on supports early. Atleast what most people are thinking.
Uh backpack disables stuff while in it but you can carry more. Super good for supports and awesome late game for carries like am and spec.
Map changes and rune changes. 6 rune spots (4 bounties every 2 minutes, 1 random power rune at one of two locations in river.) New rosh position, jungle respawns slower, but more ancients on both sides to compensate late.
That's moooostly it.
Oh yea, Monkey King added, treant/techies/lycan/necrophos removed from captains due to rework. Nerfs to arc and pitlord, but added to captains mode.

So how come they don't PTR?
They too good for external testing/opinions?

It's on their test servers first, but the whole 7.00 MADNESS is too powerful to be contained to mere "No worries, it just test."

PTR isn't used much, almost only with the major patches, and even then, only a single day, maybe.
TL;DR, Frog dont give a fuck.

They still do a lot of internal beta testing.

It's easy to find places to print custom soft top mousepads, but does anyone know of a place that does custom hard top mousepads? I'm searching but only finding places that have a minimum order of 100, and so-on. I need 1.

Just watched shawshank redemption for the first time. Very very good movie, AFI list knows its stuff sometimes.
