Definitely looks better imo. The new lighting changes make it much more atmospheric, and I feel like heroes are easier to pick out against the terrain as well.

In my experience, very, but it's also not magic. Being able to package an application with its environment and ship it to any machine that can run Docker is great but it doesn't solve the fact that modern deployment architecture can become extremely complicated, and Docker adds another component that needs configuration and debugging to an already complicated stack.

It's sure looking that way, though the Guardians aren't in too deep a hole to climb back out. It's hardly surprising we see those two so often--they're huge market teams with a front office that's willing to shell out what it takes to field a contender basically every season.

Personally I'd love to see a salary floor and a more aggressive luxury tax so that we get a more even field, but that's probably unlikely given the inevitable pushback from both owners and players, respectively.

Probably Hercules the Liger. Terrifyingly enormous animal--pictures do not do justice to how intimidating a predator of that mass is.

consistent language

Forsooth, I find thy point fit only for the jakes.

Hate to break it to ya boss but part of speech is descriptive, not prescriptive. Childish would be insisting that every word stay in the tidy little box assigned to it rather than recognizing and appreciating language's flexibility and constant evolution.

Hey, I've actually done that! It was almost a year ago now, so I can't remember my exact strats for those missions, but I might be able to help.

First of all, those two missions are brutal--I had to retry them a lot before I got the S. It seems like you've got the right basic idea for both: move fast and play the objective above all else.

For builds, I had the most success running Zimmerman in the right hand and laser lance + pile bunker on the left hand/shoulder. You can swap lance/bunker to basically always have a melee available to one shot any MTs that are in your optimal path. For the real fights, building up poise damage with Zimmerman and then staggering with lance before finishing with charged bunker is an insanely fast kill that only costs Zimmerman ammo. It takes some skill and a little luck to land it on Iguazu (he's one slippery bastard) but if you can lance him into a corner then he's toast. The same basic principle applies to the refueling base fight, but you have to do it twice. The biggest thing to know is how much poise damage you need to build up before lance will stagger --it's crucial that the lance induces stagger to set up the bunker.

Good luck!

Edit: I see you got it--congrats! That's a tough achievement.

Per the article:

On Instagram White wrote: “Don’t even think about using my music you fascists. Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your 5 thousand others.) Have a great day at work today Margo Martin.’

It looks like “threatens a lawsuit” is being used here because “sues” would be inaccurate (since the suit has not been filed).

Superior Stamina pretty much always feels good, Majestic Leap is just stupid fun, and Healing Rite is a go-to lane survivability pickup; apart from that it really varies by hero. The default guides definitely leave a lot to be desired--I usually pick a highly rated community guide, as they do a nice job collecting good choices for the hero while offering enough variety to tailor a build to the match.

It tests whether your mouse movement looks human--we're really bad at things like moving in straight lines, so it's pretty evident from a mouse movement log whether you're a human or a simple bot. It also takes a bunch of auxiliary browser/environment data into account. It's not perfect, but it's complicated enough to defeat to provide fine protection against cheap spam.

At a super rough gloss:

Pure Marxism encompasses two basic theories: Marx's critique of capitalist economics, which he argues are predicated on unjust material distributions which are employed by the owning class to steal value from the working class by controlling the means of production; and his proposed alternative, wherein the workers own the means of production and exist in a stateless, classless worker's paradise ("communism").

Notably lacking in Marx's work is a compelling plan for how to move from capitalism to communism. Enter Leninism: to transition, the so-called "vanguard party" will seize control and establish a total dictatorship to wholly quash capitalism and bring the society into alignment towards communism; when this is achieved, the vanguard party is supposed to relinquish control and the worker's utopia may commence.

This school of thought, deemed Marxism-Leninism, is the nominal philosophy underpinning many modern states that bill themselves as communist, including the USSR and the CCP. While on paper it provides a feasible path to the worker's utopia, critics argue that in practice the vanguard party fails to relinquish control, establish themselves as the new owning class, and operate a fundamentally capitalist regime under the trappings of communism.
