Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Crit Ymir the Indomitable?

I thought not. It's not a story the Hi-Rez devs would tell you. It's an r/Smite legend. Crit Ymir the Indomitable was a Magical Guardian, so meme and so troll he could build full physical critical damage to one shot... He had such a CC heavy kit, he could even keep the squishy enemies from playing.

The non-restricted item system is a pathway too many builds some consider to be OP.

He became such a menace the only thing he was afraid of was getting nerfed, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he showed the salty noobs everything he had, then they reported him to Hi-Rez.

Ironic. He could carry a game, but not himself.

"I’m a mercenary. I don’t play fair. I play what I want. When you deal with a mercenary, then all decorum gets tossed out the window, so you go ahead with your cute threats and your watch beeps. Order will not protect you anymore, my friend. I will rain chaos, even if it hurts me, ’cause I would rather see you lose than win myself." Extremepulse

Wolverines are nightmarish hellbeasts of omnidirectional hate. It is actually impossible to overstate how scary they are. Somewhere along their evolutionary pathway, their fight-or-flight instinct got permanently stuck on "fight", and now every single one of them is a Gandhi-level apocalypse engine of the frozen wastes.
A zoo once thought they could put a wolverine on exhibit with a polar bear, figuring that the wolverine was tough enough that the polar bear wouldn't bother it. They were right, of course; the polar bear left it alone. But that wasn't enough for this dog-sized packet of aggression. It decided that it shouldn't need to share its enclosure... so it killed the bear. By suffocating it. The wolverine clamped down on its throat and just hung on until it died.
These things are the apex predators of the entire planet, and we are lucky they typically confine themselves to the tundra.

"That you really do need 7-9 hours of sleep every day. Even at 6 hours, the lack of sleep decreases efficiency, productivity, and increases risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's. Furthermore, it weakens the immune system and handicaps the body's ability to destroy cancer cells, which therefore increases risk of cancers of the breast, colon, ovaries and prostate.

The scary part of it is that you can't get back all the sleep that you lose out on because "sleep efficiency" decreases, so trying to catch up on the weekends isn't really making up for what you lost throughout the week. Ironically, those who say “I can sleep when I’m dead” will end up dead quicker because of lack of sleep. That's why I nap."

When I am stressed, I go to the vending machine and get a Milky Way candy bar.
Around the time this happened, I had been on a reading binge with philosophy and religion books for a while so the subject was fresh on my mind. I had been thinking a lot about things like deism, transcendentalism, and naturalistic pantheism.

On a particularly stressful day, I went to go get my Milky Way. The machine was out of them and I was crestfallen. I got a Snickers instead, which is not quite as good.
I walked back to my desk thinking, the universe has no inherent order or meaning, there is nothing watching out for us or a great plan. Camus was right.

I sat down and opened it and took a bite, and it was a Milky Way, in a Snickers wrapper.
