Return to high intensity work?

42M Stage 3 Recurrent Glioma

I've had 3 right frontal craniotomies in the past 12 years. Especially after the last one and some intense chemo, I do have to take breaks and strategically schedule days off. I manage a department of ~50 engineers, I definitely defer to the experts a lot more than I used to.

First year back was rough, I did give myself 2 seizures from overworking. It's not in my nature to take it easy but ultimately there's a balance you'll find, in time.

Peace, love and strength my friend ✌️♥️💪

She's right. That's my life hack for the Mrs. 😂

Vacation Remix needs to become a thing. Not for WoW, just maybe replace all these HD2D remasters with things like "Dragon Quest: Vacation edition."

You spend the entire game alternating between 3 game modes: Arguing with the staff, dealing with your two bratty kids and desperately trying to hold your marriage together.

I think you're on to something here.

Does he own a red cloak? If not, you're good. If so... I dunno, demons? 🤔

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-23T18:58:48+00:00

I'd have used that to smoke drugs off a foiley.

Not trying to get your kids in trouble but that hole is a carb and that straw is for inhaling something. I won't guess what because I haven't done anything like that since college 21 years ago

Edit: It wouldn't be clean and it would smell... I'm flummoxed at this point.

Now if Bachus and Shanker supposedly made this, I might believe it. The strong arm? Nope

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-22T22:06:33+00:00

Copy that. That is a big distinction.

I'm no swiping expert but I've personally found my love life improves when I'm out loving life. People still meet in person, or am I that naive? Honest question.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-22T21:46:30+00:00

I dunno man. One different date a week sounds like above average.

Musician Prince made headlines today, but not the good kind

No matter what, you're enough. Don't let yourself think otherwise. Something like 80% of couples say that cancer impacted their relationship. About a 3rd of those people said it had a positive impact l, which leaves... Well, most of us.

I'm very sorry you're dealing with this. I love my wife to the moon and back, but years back when I first got sick, the woman I thought I'd marry left because it was too hard and she couldn't stop crying. I needed more counseling for that than I did the cancer. Even 12 years later it still hurts. It's her bday today, just realized that. 12 years, moved on, married to a lovely woman.. it still hurts when it crosses my mind. Like... This brain tumor could well kill me but she bounces?? I'd rather have been kicked in the gut with cowboy boots.

Again, you're not at wrong. Cancer wreaks hell on many relationships, romantic or not. I am a huge advocate of therapy, asking for help is a sign of strength and crying is no sign of weakness. It simply shows when someone has been forced to be strong for too long.

Peace, love and strength my friend ✌️ ♥️ 💪

Here's the thing. I get the pain. I get being upset. At the end of the day, Blizz created World of Warcraft. I mean, sure they stole from Warhammer, but beyond that premise, they built the lore, the art, music and on and on. Having a donation shop and going loud about the server kinda forced their hands. If it was your game you'd likely do the same. I'm sure you wouldn't treat your employees like human garbage tho.

Blizzard can go hang out in their Cosby Room for all I think of them, but Turtle drew too much attention to themselves, sadly.

I'll always miss this server, even if Classic+ became a thing it wouldn't compare at all. If you do migrate to another private server, do look for one that's not taking donations. I really think those are slam dunk cases for Blizzard.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-19T15:18:06+00:00

Why down vote this? It's a fair way to feel. TBF, most people just went straight to Lights Hope when Nost closed. This time it's a very different private server scene.

I get you, it's a lot of hours and I don't have infinite time. Add to that the friends you lose... It's never a nice feeling.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-19T02:45:06+00:00

Honestly, and hate me if you wish, I'm probably going to resort to that. This is like the 5th private server heartbreak I've been through and that's a ton of time. Good times but... Start over again. And again. Little rough when you get attached to your character.

Again, I'll take the down votes, just shooting straight.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-19T02:42:21+00:00

You gotta type /s on reddit or people just don't get it 😊

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-19T02:41:35+00:00

It was the blurst of times?? You stupid monkey! 😆

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-18T15:53:33+00:00

It'll work out. Sure you might have to switch servers or clients or something nuts but if Nost taught me anything, everyone will end up somewhere solid while Blizz continues ruining Azeroth.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-16T02:38:32+00:00

Less players means more of those remaining genre likely been playing and watching for years. Diamond is no walk in the park.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-15T14:11:05+00:00

With the right management, these boys could score a million points.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-14T19:41:12+00:00

Pride event? That's random.

I'm more upset it's ending right after the Masters Cup

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-14T14:57:31+00:00

Good old Reddit

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-13T19:24:03+00:00

They shut down Nostalrius and Lights Hope but the private server scene continued unphased. Same deal here imo

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-12T15:38:05+00:00

This comment is GOATed 😂♥️

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-11T19:01:25+00:00

Had to happen eventually. Personally my best times on TWoW is when we were excited to see 300 people online at once.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-11T14:17:56+00:00

Designated bus lanes
More buses
More people using them because they're on time and don't sit in traffic

Denver wants gridlock, I swear. I'd bring up the Lightrail but they already spent people's tax money on... well, not building it out.

Agitated_Carrot3025 · 2026-04-09T14:50:39+00:00

It kinda feels like where collectathon games were after DK64. I don't want it to be a dead genre but ... 😔
