In Herodotus histories, in his account of Solons visit to Croesus, he writes, โGod is envious of human prosperity... It is Gods way... God tolerates.โ Who is this singular god? As far as Iโm aware the ancient Greeks were polytheistic, yet this clearly implies monotheism. Is this just a translation thing, or was there a genuine worship of a single god?

Read the announcement, but of note-
> Over the past weeks, Simic Food Ramp has had a nearly 60% non-mirror match win rate (!!!) on Magic Online and has earned more than twice as many 5โ0 league finishes than any other archetype. It has favorable matchups against most of the other top decks and no strongly unfavorable matchups.
Contains spoilers for S05E08 โBagmanโ, as well as the entirety of Breaking Bad.
After Jimmy, eager to earn the Cartelโs respect (or at least, protection), and tempted by the salary of his lifetime, decides to take on a suicide mission through the desert, a worried Kim visits his client, Lalo, in jail. Such close encounters with the criminal world are never good omens. โ[Kim] is in the game nowโ, as Mike observes. And once youโre in, there is no way out. Isnโt that right, Nacho?
Many have theorized that Kim (completely absent from Breaking Bad) would end up dying as a result of Jimmyโs actions. After this episode, it seems more likely than ever. Soโฆ here is why I believe that it will not happen.
First, we need to take a closer look at Kimโs surprise visit. We can see that she is startled, nervous, in the same state as she was the day prior when she tried convincing Jimmy not to take the job.As she looks into Laloโs malevolent eyes, she realizes that her worst fears have come true: Jimmy has finally, fully embraced the dark (or rather, red) side, and she isnโt sure that she can save him this time around (remember this idea: weโll get back to it later on).
By revealing to Lalo that she knows who he really is, she is taking what she considers a necessary risk, but she immediately alleviates it by mentioning her โspousal privilegeโ, that makes information โas bulletproof as lawyer-client privilegeโ, a term that Lalo can quickly understand. He settles down (thank God it wasnโt another Salamanca!), the scene switches to a wider frame, we can finally breathe.But he isnโt giving any information either. What he does is end the conversation on a: โNice to meet you, Mrs. Goodmanโ. And this cheeky line is massive.
Kim is now โMrs. Goodmanโ. Ironically enough, what this means is that she can no longer be the good person she strives to be. Although she may not know it just yet, her fate is sealed with the Cartel, forever.
Out of the whole cast of Better Call Saul, Kim Wexler is the character most attached to justice and ethics. Weโve seen it in this season: she is ready to put her professional position at risk to protect the โlittle guyโ (Mr. Acker) against corporations, even if she doesnโt get credit for it at all. Her devotion to justice is selfless. For example, the only time she stands up against Howard is when somebody else (Jimmy) has been mistreated (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJOl5OnH9oI)

The guy wrote the script or something like that, and it seems people are very upset about it. Personally I don't know wtf is going on, because the episode seemed pretty normal. Even if he did something questionable (can someone elaborate? certain comments mention changes to the story), such ridiculous behavior in comments is unacceptable. There are dozens of nasty posts calling his work shit, asking him to never appear in Fate/ anime again (or in any anime at all), etc.

First off, itโs not usually my place to get up on a soapbox and rant to a group of people I donโt know. Under these circumstances, though, Iโll make an exception:
Itโs absolutely okay to be upset with the changes that Blizzard has made in the course of this expansion. For me personally, BfA has completely taken a step in the wrong direction in terms of fun - no legendaries, no consistent artifact traits, and an even more painful rep grind used as a content gate to future races.
But without going into how I feel and effectively making this post another typical โgimme Legion backโ rant, I just want to say that if you want things changed in this game, SAY IT.
I understand that some people donโt want to look like a crybaby when it comes to speaking their mind. A lot of us have been trying to push for changes both here and on the forums, and sometimes it looks like all hope is lost. Iโve started to see a general shift toward the mindset of โoh, the system is broken, itโs unrewarding, but this is my fate as a gamer under Blizzard and Activision.
If you want my opinion, this is what Blizzard wants. They donโt want controversy. They donโt want a fan base that is actively picking apart mechanics that should have been smoothed out or at least tested before launch. They want you to accept whatever system they put in place and keep handing over your $15 sub to show them how little you care about the direction of the game. That is why your voice matters: you have the power to make or break a business. Blizzard Entertainment is an ENTERTAINMENT company - if youโre not entertained, then say it, and say it louder with your wallet.
Again, I donโt like doing this. I loved Legion and I loved the direction of the game. Ultimately, however, my loyalties are to my own experience, not to the decisions of a company that ultimately has shown us that they donโt care to check these mechanics.
tl;dr donโt give up the good fight and show Blizzard that we demand better
Edit: Hi everybody, I'm doing my best to clean up my argument and to show that I'm not trying to start a massive shitfest on Reddit. If it's any clarification, my point wasn't to take up arms and burn down Blizzard forums or the subreddit, but to get more people involved in the process of providing data, commentary, and information about what works, and what doesn't. Thanks for being patient and reading this monster of a post. I appreciate you all.
For me, The ride of the Rohirrim at the fields of Pelennor will always be #1, book or movie depiction. I also love the flashback of the Valkyries in Thor: Ragnarok. It's very brief, but still very good.
