Bonus damage against minibosses should have been part of Boss Spec, not Major Spec.

Wait but... aren't champions minibosses? Per strike scoring, isn't that all enemies with an inverted triangle icon?

So this means that Major Spec only applies to elites now, the orange bar enemies with a shield icon?

I thought that major was a synonym for miniboss, but I guess I've gotta stop saying that because it doesn't make sense for "Major Spec" to not apply to "majors".

This seems like it makes major spec niche and boss spec almost always the right choice (bonus damage to bosses AND champions, what more could you want).

I think it's a good thing they have an endowment to give the site more financial security, but... how big does it need to be before they stop the begging advertisements? They've already far outpaced the goal they set in 2016.

Higher beat quartz watches do exist, like Bulova's Precisionist watches (which I believe do beat 16 times per second like you mention).

My understanding is that they are not more common because moving the hands more frequently like this uses battery a lot faster, so the watches either need to be bigger for more battery or require more frequent battery changes.

Damn, I was hoping that YAS would still provide grenade energy on ignitions; if that was the case there might still be some way to make it work. Alas, just tested and it does not.

That is a bummer. My YAS build felt really different from my others, the only one where I could reliably use grenades for single target damage. Now I guess I can only use it for add clear.

Yes but if you need 1500 points at minimum before you can cash out, that means you aren't seeing any cash back until you've spent $300 at Microsoft. The payout might be bigger, but you have to wait a lot longer to get it.

If that's worth it for you, that's great! But if I'm spend $60 at Microsoft a few times a year, I might rather just have $1.20 next month that I can spend on many things than $3.00 in two years that I can only spend at Microsoft.

Are you willing to accept an article from Ars Technica? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/sandisk-extreme-ssds-keep-abruptly-failing-firmware-fix-for-only-some-promised/

Do you think it's not newsworthy if a manufacturer sells drives with a history of failures, releases a firmware update they claim will fix the issue, sends a replacement drive that also fails, and continues to sell the drives at a deep discount?
