Quadruple Rainbow!

What a wacky run I just had.

On floor 7 I got offered Rainbow, Doom and Gloom, or Equilibrium. My deck needed more offense so I went with the Rainbow although I definitely considered the Doom and Gloom. I even upgraded the Rainbow on the next floor although I didn't know if that was the best choice.

Then on floor 14 I get offered another Rainbow. Do I need it? Probably not, but the other options weren't great and I had just gotten a Defragment so a double Rainbow sounded fun.

When I got offered a third Rainbow after defeating Hexaghost at the end of Act 1, I laughed. But I didn't want the Hyperbeam because my deck was entirely built around orbs, and whether or not the Machine Learning was the better choice the Rainbow seemed more fun.

After three Rainbows in Act 1, the RNG finally stopped offering me them...for the first half of Act 2. On floor 27 I get offered my fourth Rainbow. At this point I don't even care what the other options are. If RNGesus wants me to have another Rainbow

  • Only the most recent.

    I also have never had any issues with game breaking bugs like that. I've encountered some glitches but nothing a save+reload couldn't fix. Everything just resets to its normal spawn point.

  • Right, and for pronouns you don't just put apostrophe s after. So you don't make "it" possessive by adding apostrophe s just like you don't add apostrophe s to "he" or "him" to make it possessive.

    If you treat the pronoun "it" like a regular (non-pronoun) noun instead of like other pronouns, that is itself an exception.

  • As "its" is used to indicate possession by "it", "its" is an exception to apostrophe-s construction as used to indicate possessive forms.

    Most, if not all, pronouns work that way though.

    "The man's arm" becomes "his arm" not "him's arm". "The woman's arm" becomes "her arm" not "her's arm". Similarly, "the robot's arm" becomes "its arm" not "it's arm".

    I don't really care if people use "it's" instead of "its" , but I don't think it's a unique exception. The only thing that's unique is that it is pronounced the same way as if you tacked an apostrophe and an s on the end. If we used the word "hims" instead of "his", I'm sure people would start putting an apostrophe in there too.

  • Everything about that episode is incredible. It absolutely deserved the three Emmy awards it won (best writing, best lead actor, best supporting actress).

    I can think of so many more "or shit, the scene where" sentences you could add to that paragraph. It's just one incredible scene after another. So much happens in such a short time but it doesn't feel rushed—you just feel things rapidly spiraling out of control in such a visceral way.

  • That's actually why Mr T adopted his moniker.

    I think about my father being called "boy", my uncle being called "boy", my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called "boy". So I questioned myself: "What does a black man have to do before he's given respect as a man?" So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T, so the first word out of everybody's mouth is "Mr."

  • From a min/max perspective I'm not sure. I just never cared for the Tonitrus, mostly because of its low durability.

    The interesting thing about a pure arcane build is that you often don't even need to use your weapon because the hunter tools deal so much damage. For a ton of bosses you can just create five blood bullets, heal back up, use the executioner's glove twice, and repeat until the boss is dead.

    Check it out sometime! There's also a ton of useful information in this guide: https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2017/04/the-arcanist-20.html

  • I'm not sure why everyone is saying Red Rocks. Phish played three shows there in 2009 but they haven't played there since.

    The real answer is that every Labor Day weekend they play 3 to 4 shows at Dick's Sporting Goods Park outside Denver (except in 2020 when the shows were cancelled).

  • RIP to a legend

    For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you're not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could "save the life of someone you'll never meet".

    Got my first Heart kill last night!

    No ascension level but I've been struggling with this boss for a while so it was pretty satisfying to finally get a victory.

    I had a few bad runs in a row including a really terrible one right before this. So I wasn't expecting much when I started a new run and picked the max HP boost out of the two options.

    But then this seed just handed me a great shiv deck right from the start. Blade Dance from my first fight on floor 1, Accuracy from my second fight on floor 4, plus another Blade Dance I bought from the shop on floor 5. By floor 12 I was up to 3 Blade Dances with 2 of them upgraded, a Storm of Steel, and a Ninja Scroll relic. Shivs out the wazoo, not to mention the Bronze Thorns on floor 2 when I got the relic in the first try in that event that lets you sacrifice health for a chance to get a relic.

    Despite the solid start, I was starting to get a little worried in the back half of Act 3. Between the Ninja Scroll and the high likelihood of 1 or more Blade Dance+ in my hand, the
