My guide to hiking in Switzerland.

Most of my time spent hiking in Switzerland has been solo. Pick a well known area and you won’t need to worry about being alone on the mountain. For more remote hikes I am careful to be aware of the weather, how exposed the route is, and what options for quick escapes or shetler there are along the way.


--- Resources ---

There are two main hiking resources:

Route ideas:

Finding a route isn’t a problem. Generally there is too much choice if anything.

  • Swiss Mobility mentioned above has a number of specially signed routes.

  • MySwitzerland the official tourist website has plenty of suggestions and themes for the whole country.

  • Local tourist websites and offices offer plenty of ideas to cover all difficulties (for example in Zermatt). Maps for resorts are often presented in a panoramic format (for example).

  • There are a number of official obstacle free routes for the less abled. Additionally routes aimed at families in resorts are also likely to be short and barrier free.

  • You can just turn up anywhere and figure out something good to do with a few minutes of looking at where the signs point to and what you can see on a map.

Crowd sourced websites:

  • Gelbzeiten.ch photos of signs around the country. A bit redundant now that Swiss Topo lets you calculate routes for free, but it might still provide a good source of ideas for where to go from a starting point.

  • Hikr, Komoot, Alltrails etc have plenty of suggestions.

Blogs, at least few examples of some of the better ones:

Sunbreak

I'm going to be a little honest, I'm skeptical about Sunbreak.

There are some things we've been missing in base Rise like the apex armor/weapons, an endgame that gives motive for replaying, and subspecies/variants, but what else needs tweaking that has the potential to go unchanged?

We know there are three confirmed new monsters coming with Sunbreak: Malzeno, Lunagaron, and Shogun Ceanataur. But now I have a question in this regard: How many more unique monsters are coming and how many of them are going to be the subspecies/variants? We currently have a whopping 2 brute wyverns (Please bring back Brachydios I beg of you) and we don't have a single subspecies or variant besides apexes. There's also only one monster that drops paralysis/omniplegia sacs and that's the oversized roly-poly that farts, so please find an old monster or create a new monster that uses paralysis because I'm over the thought of fighting the red pill bug.

Weapon balancing is a hot mess too. LS is still the king of blademaster weapons, and would be the king of every weapon if bow didn't do 150-200 damage per rapid shot which can then be animation cancelled with a power shot, and if HBG/LBG didn't stunlock the monster with sticky shots. Lance is currently drowning in the water, the only thing keeping it afloat is spiral thrust spamming for a breath of good DPS. Charge Blade still has the god awful SAED aiming issue where if you accidentally hit the left joystick your SAED will be going 90 degrees away from the monster. I'm definitely missing the more blatant issues in some other weapons but this is what I noticed to be an issue when I played.

Wirebugs still are a gray area, for one it allows for reckless play and healing is easier than ever with its low commitment 'pop and go' mentality for mega potions. People wirefall, chug, and get back into it. However, on the other hand, monsters like Kushala, Narwa, and Ibushi like to do this thing where if you can't/don't wirefall in the air juggling animation or the full body smack to the ground, you're liable to then get hit a second time. This is fine for the most part, because if you play reckless you're gonna get punished. So then where's the problem? The problem is that not nearly enough monsters do this. You can play reckless on nearly every monster considering you can just wirefall in the opposite direction and heal for 90% of the time and still be alive. (However, knowing how most G-rank expansions are this will most likely be addres

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Let's get some cards Banned: MonkeBreach

Title is a joke please don't ban me - joint statement by ragavan and urza saga.

I am one of the often ranted about terrible magic players who love to abuse artifacts and to a lesser extent combos, and I think we finally have the pieces for the next boogeyman: MonkeBreach. I'm looking to get some discussion going regarding this deck, also, to convince some of you lovely combo degenerates and artifact aficionados like myself to give this deck a try.

Decklist found here:

http://decks.deckedbuilder.com/d/2022-01-02/cPXdeerWw0aO5hmz8ay3xQ==

Out with the old, in with the new:

This strategy involving underworld breach + 0-drop artifact + grinding station = win, is not a new one. Previous iterations ran cantrips, often with less mox, some ran sai/saheeli/urza lord for extra legendary hits, splash of goblin engineer here or there, maybe some counterspells for interaction. The common conclusion however, was the deck was too easy to disrupt as it gets hit hard by both graveyard and artifact hate, two types very common in modern sideboards; and did not have any type of secondary game plan. Some people tried to circumvent the latter drawback with cards like sai and crew, but to very limited success. Luckily, with many ahem busted printings, I think we finally have a deck capable bringing modern players together to gather your pitchforks and ban hammers in unison! Death to artifacts!

Salty dead artifact jokes aside, this deck actually did get several key cards printed that allow for a much more cohesive strategy as well as giving this deck a much needed backup plan. The main culprits are, Ragavan, Darcy, Urza's Saga and expressive iteration.

Ragavan: needs little introduction here as his lovely face is plastered across modern decks far and wide. In this strategy, we do not utilize the monkey to his full potential, however what he does for us he does very well. Him being a 1-drop that turns on mox amber and being a must kill threat that can snowball a game by himself are the main reasons for his inclusion. Previous iterations as mentioned had to stretch themselves to find enough playable legendary types to make mox amber more worthwhile to cast when not simply combo-ing. With the acceleration from both his treasure tokens and legendary status, games featuring this guy often will give us the mana boost we need to combo under the opponents interaction or it will give us an opportunity to combo because they spent there time killing him. He leads to some ve

[Historic] RB Death-Dweller Goblins Full Deck Guide

Yoo what's up guys! I'm currently #1 on the Arena ladder with my RB Death-Dweller Goblins deck in Historic (screenshot: https://twitter.com/AlthMtg/status/1482404149216038919). I've made a full in-depth deck guide video with gameplay here if you're interested: youtu.be/rTVN9Q6a5Dc

For those of you who aren't interested in the video though, I've done a full write-up below and here's the importable decklist if you want to try it out for yourself: https://scryfall.com/@Altheriax/decks/2140647b-b8e5-40a3-8bf3-eb0f21c452b8

Goblins is one of my favourite Historic decks but I feel like the old-school Chieftan/ Warchief/ Krenko builds just feel slow and clunky right now and are definitely a victim of the power creep that's happened over the past year or so. I've been experimenting with a bunch of new and different Goblins builds recently though and feel like I really struck gold with this one. It feels really strong and attacks on a lot of different angles!

Maindeck-

4 Call of the Death-Dweller: We're mainly interested in the deathtouch counter that this provides as giving a creature deathtouch means it will kill whenever it deals any amount of damage. We have a bunch of Goblins that deal damage as part of their ability so giving it deathtouch essentially turns the damage abilities into unconditional removal. Fanatical Firebrand can sac itself to deal 1 damage so we can use Call to bring it and another 1/2 drop back from the graveyard, give it deathtouch and then the sac ability can kill any creature. Similarly Munitions Expert deals damage to a creature/ planeswalker when it enters the battlefield so we can bring it and another 1 drop back from the graveyard with Call to kill any creature and we also get to keep a creature with deathtouch on the battlefield afterwards too. Pashalik Mons deals 1 damage to any target whenever a Golbin dies so we can bring Pashalik back with Call and it can then kill any creature any time one of our Goblins dies (especially sick alongside Skirk Prospector to trigger at instant speed). And finally Chainwhirler deals 1 damage to each creature when it enters the battlefield so if we bring it back with Call, it works as a one-sided board sweeper which is so strong! Even outside of the deathtouch counter, we can also use it for value eg. if we need card advant

Lesser known tips and fun facts!

There are so many little quirks to this game that can be used to your advantage, I thought i might share some of the lesser known ones I've heard about, feel free to share your own.

  • If Bumbino picks up 12 cents worth of coins, he drops an extra item from a special pool and then leaves.
  • If Edmund (the big green one) is defeated first, Ultra Pride has a 25% chance to drop the Eternal D6 if it has been unlocked instead of the left hand.
  • If Baby Plum doesn't take damage for 30 seconds, she will leave and the boss item will be replaced with plum flute
  • Touching a Battery Bum while it is giving Isaac's active item a charge will grant an additional charge.
  • Seeing a book in the library only decrements it's weight (the chance of seeing it again) by 10%, but picking up any item fully removes it, so it is worth picking up and putting back down every book you can if you do not wish to see it in future , even if you already have bookworm (I'm looking at you, bible). Simply seeing an item in the treasure, angel, devil, secret, or shop pool fully decrements it, meaning you will never see it again. Any other non-fixed pool item is decremented by about half.
  • Mom's knife is not weighted in the item room! it just feels like you never get it as there are so many items in repentance.
  • You can void item's during the pick-up animation.
  • During the chase sequence you can run back and forth through a doorway to give yourself i-frames while mum charges through you, this also works with tainted esau.
  • Having a hard time? Want to cheat but only a little and within the boundaries of the game itself? You can always drag co-op players along when playing single player as sac room fodder, and blood bags for demon beggars, blood donation machines, and confessionals. They also cause you to get additional boss room items. Make sure to kill them off before you go to the next floor to preserve devil/ angel room chance. This process also allows you to unlock 4 checkmarks at a time for each boss kill. To potentially see yourself a little more easily while doing this. In This PC > Documents > My Games > Binding of Isaac Repentance you can find options.ini and set Maxscale=99 to 1. This will allow for a more zoomed out perspective where you never go offscreen.

Approaches [Witnesses #5]

This is a story told in a universe where humans are gargantuan, slow titans living among civilizations of tiny, short-lived sapient aliens. There's a plot arc, but many of the installments can be read standalone, with some "non-linear" narration. This episode continues the perspective of Marielinnill, Stationtown, and Zakir.

FIRST | PREVIOUS | NEXT

---

It hadn't at least been an awkward disaster, mused Marielinnill, as she worked on translating the Stationtown census report that the Mayor insisted on sending every so often to the resident Witness. Today had been "Take Your Wives To Work Day," sponsored by the Baron and the other Hfez "ritual duelling" traditionalist champions, in the hope that at least some "modernist" Hfez males would experience an entire cycle's "authentic Hfez" life, and maybe even be attracted to the duelling scene. Since the Hfez were about a third of the population of Stationtown, the timid Tsi'revet'puroch Mayor had accepted the proposal, never wanting to alienate prominent members of the Hfez electorate.

The problem was that most Hfez women had jobs of their own and were not about to give up an entire day riding around watching their husbands approve planning applications or whatever. This didn't affect Marielinnill's own office that much --- Witness Relations, which had two other Nekvarash and a Resothortho secretary --- but she did get a bit of amusement passing by Hpahulh from Accounting, one of the Hfez males who actually tried, processing street maintenance expense reports while two of his four wives sat desultorily on his back scrolling their tablets. (Spouses and sundry mates from other species were also technically welcome to participate, but none did.)

Marielinnill completed the translation of the census report and sent it to the Witness Relations manager, a Nekvarash named Kemetavet, for final approval and transmission to the Witness. She idly wondered whether the Witness ever actually looked at the report and what it would even do with the information. She then started work on an application by a pair of minor Resothortho clans for the Witness to observe the formalities of their merger. Sometimes the Witness even

A Rockets Fan's Guide to Tanking

With the roller coaster ride this season has been, it's not surprising that a lot of fans are confused with what the team's goals should be this season. At first, when the team's record looked horrible, most assumed that a top-5 pick was all but locked up. Then, things turned around and it looked as if the Rockets might not lose another game this season. They rebounded to a .333 record and have played at exactly that level and pace in the 6 games since. Continued for the rest of the season, such a pace would likely land the Rockets well outside of the play-in tournament, but also still within striking distance if anything 'strange' occurred (as often does in the NBA).

What would it take to make the playoffs?

Obviously this is impossible to project accurately, but we can use clues to guess. Last year, both conferences saw a .458 winning percentage take the 10th seed. This year, the competition in the Western Conference doesn't look quite as strong past the 8th seed. A team may be able to have a slightly lower percentage, say .439 (or 35 wins), in order to secure the 10th seed. Minnesota is currently above that pace in the 9th seed, but just lost key players to COVID protocols. SA, POR, and SAC are all hovering around .400 (a 33-win pace), meaning one of these teams are likely going to need to separate themselves with better play to secure the 10th seed. The Rockets are behind that pace at the moment, but have been playing well beyond that pace since the shift to predominantly 1-big lineups. With only 10 wins to their name, it isn't 'likely' that Houston could even win enough games to make up the gap. They'd probably need 24 more wins in the final 52 games to work their way into contention. Winning almost half their games sounds daunting, to say the least. But is it possible?

Let's look at the Rockets remaining schedule and see what it would take. Projecting each game individually would indicate that an underdog like Houston has no chance at all of getting that many more wins, but then again, Houston shouldn't have won recent games against CHI, CHA, BKN, or ATL... so weird things can happen. What I'm going to do instead is see how many games Houston has against certain tiers of opponents, and then project how they need to do against that tier going forward.

The top tier (contenders for home court advantage in the first round) contains GS, UTA, PHO, MEM, BKN, CHI, CLE, MIA, and MIL. The Rockets have a 2-8 record against these team right now with
