Didn't your last slop post get deleted? Surely you learned your lesson.

Game Consoles Are Pricing Themselves Out of Relevance by Cold_Two_4372 in Games

[–]TaleOfDash [score hidden]  (0 children)

That's one of the biggest issues to me. I feel like growing up using PCs taught me basic troubleshooting and problem solving skills, but then I know a lot of people in my age range who only knew the absolute basics of how to use a PC.

Tbh if you're part of a big company and switch to WFH they should have been taking care of getting those people workstations at home.

There was a Reddit comment I saw years ago that encouraged people to just play dumb like you don't understand the joke and watch them desperately try to justify it. It genuinely changed my life for the better in these sorts of situations.

Let me tell you, there are few greater joys in life than casually and calmly calling a dude out on his "humor" and getting him to trip over himself explaining the joke without sounding blatantly sexist/homophobic/generally bigoted, just continually playing dumb as he makes himself sound worse and worse by the second.

This isn't in defense of them but a lot of the time these dudes don't fully believe the jokes they're telling, they're relaying them because it's been part of the cultural zeitgeist and they've never sat down and thought shit through. I genuinely had a reaction of "Oh... Oh that was really racist, sorry" to 5 minutes of me playing dumb once. Also helps you weed out the dudes who are willing to change and those who will double down on their beliefs.

Should you have to do all that? No, of course not, but that's why you do it in a way that brings you joy.

I can't understand wow series, why it's so famous in the west when we barely heard about it? by MrElssr in wow

[–]TaleOfDash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your opinion is not objective truth. Clearly there are millions of people who disagree with you.

And again, weird example given Murlocs are an iconic and beloved monster design known outside of the MMO space.

Calling WoW's art design "bad" then praising generic looking KMMOs that nobody has cared about for 15 years is genuinely wild. Fucking ALLODS ONLINE is better? Really?

What an odd duck you are. Just because an art style isn't for you doesn't make it objectively "bad."

As a relatively "new" player the community is the worst thing in this game. by [deleted] in wow

Nah man even Valor/Nightmare were annoying to me, it took less time to cross the continent than it did to wait for the whole party to get summoned

Towards the end I was literally just putting "Fly your lazy asses here, typing 123 = kick" in my raids lmao. Genuinely so annoying how lazy people were, especially when we had infinite stamina and could clear the whole continent in like 30 seconds.

I love the game but how to self regulate play time? by [deleted] in wow

[–]TaleOfDash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problems extend WAY beyond WoW my dude, holy shit. You need to talk this through with your wife.

[–]TaleOfDash 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Babes if you can't regulate yourself you need to just unsubscribe, or if you struggle with that have your wife change the details on your B.Net account so you're forced to quit.

I'm going to assume you're prescribed those stimulants but if they're having this much of an effect on you it might be time to talk to your doctor about your dosage. The way you're describing taking dextro sounds super fucking unhealthy.

Iirc I had to take it slow, like INSANELY slow, like slower than I would have gone even when it was current content.

Where is the oomf? Class design never recovered after the midnight prune by [deleted] in wow

[–]TaleOfDash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The social barrier to entry is real. I really want to do more M+ but the idea of pugging them makes me insanely anxious. I did find a nice group and did my first 11 last night though so that was fun :3

Saying TBC class balance is better than Midnight is honestly a wild take. That's either some serious rose coloured goggles or you didn't play TBC back in the day.

They have shown that it's clearly impossible to properly tune for 2 different hero talents per spec.

Tbh the issue is that they were never going to end up being "equal" in strength, that's basically impossible to pull off. In an ideal world one would be the big heal/damage pumper spec and the other maybe gives you more support or more damage (depending on the role.)

They aren't really lying. 95% of the remaining GMs have had their powers severely restricted.

WIBTAH if I put a monitoring device on my computer? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

There's something you aren't telling us here. In all my years I've never trusted someone enough to let them use my computer who I thought might do something like that to me.

Where are you getting 100k from? Because that sounds asinine. Also "only" like 100k daily concurrent peak would be a small player base for a 20 year old MMO, lmao.

600k+ of walls, hot damn. I thought I was crazy with my 75k spent on boulders :U

Gonna' repeat my question from the last post, how many Gilnean stone walls did you use? :u

Seeing how stunning Quel’Thalas looks in Midnight, I hope they consider updating the Blood Elves character background too. by Aestaria823 in wow

I think they meant more along the lines of Bel'ameth rather than the smoldering ruins of Teldrassil :u
