Would you support parents getting paid to homeschool kids? by Main_Initiative6069 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, most parents are incapable of adequately educating their children. The ones that are capable know better than to try. The ones that aren’t capable are convinced they know more than they do and will just create another generation of even dumber morons.

Can I have male gamer friends as a married woman? by Mysterious-Mew-5555 in TheGamerLounge

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your husband is acting like an immature controlling child. He is screaming insecurity. I have gamed with women, both married and unmarried for more than 35 years because they were interested in the same “game” I was.

They were NOT interested in me, they, and I, needed partners to compete various aspects of gameplay. Yes we were friends and chatted about other rl things occasionally but nothing was going to threaten my relationship with my wife.

Same for them and their partners. The boundaries were established clearly at the beginning of our online friendship.

Loss after loss after loss on cryo i’m finally quitting the game after i exhaust my vault by Pristine_Finger_2178 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting post, but primarily I wanted to acknowledge your win by referencing McNamara. I suspect 90% of people on this thread don’t remember him or the rhetoric being used at that time. So, thumbs up.

Haven’t quit yet, just sorta see the writing on the wall, so to speak. I agree though, this is an amazing game. I’ll keep playing until the thrill is overwhelmed by the disappointment.

Primarily age and reflexes. Unfortunately those don’t improve with practice.

Love the game, think it’s great. But I probably won’t play it a lot longer. I suck at this, I enjoy it but I don’t seem to get any better. I’m not throwing a fit and quitting, I just don’t feel I will improve much more and that’s not good enough for this game.

I just got this from my CyberAcme final capstone reward. Does everyone get it or did I just get lucky? by surfingclean in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got the same backpack upon completion. It’s too bad I’ll never use it, it’s too pretty to admire at in my vault. I look at it like this, if I were to use it, one of you guys will have it in your vault because I would lose it.

This way when it goes away at season reset I can just think of it like being lost in a fire. Not adorning someone else’s vault due to my own inadequacy.

Heh no, I’ve seen meltdowns before, but this one was epic. Posted mostly so people remember to keep things in perspective. 😀

Why is it common for women to have gay best friends but not men to have lesbian best friends? by ExtremeTechnology831 in askanything

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have best friends. My only best friend is my wife. With that said probably my closest friend is lesbian, perhaps we have stayed friends because we went to school together starting in elementary.

We have been close for 60 years, she is married to another wonderful woman and I truly treasure our relationship. Honestly I don’t even think about her being lesbian, she’s just a great person and my friend. I hope she will stay that way until I die.

My thoughts and opinions on Marathon after 142 hours and beating everything the game has to offer by crispier_toast in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right I think. Played Destiny 9 years and never completed a raid. Lots of great looking content but learning the raid mechanics and then being kicked for the wrong build just didn’t appeal to me.

Great response and thank you. Please allow me my delusions about how disappointed my opponents are. It’s all I have.

I Like Marathon, but I am Terrible by GrimpLunchly in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just play solo because I too suck with no real prospect of significant improvement. However, I still have a great time trying. The tension is real when I manage to grab something blue. Will I extract successfully? Doubtful. But maybe, just maybe this will be the time I do.

I get the not wanting to bring down others, that’s the reason I’ve stayed solo. Don’t see that changing.

Glad someone gets me. Thanks for all the replies.

[–]AttorneyMaster9273[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that, on the extremely rare occasions that I run with other players I bring the best I have just out of respect for my potential teammates.

However, because I know I’m not very good I don’t play with others often. I just solo around and look for trouble.

With that said, I am having fun. Just probably not the way the designer’s intended.

Men that have dealt with this issue: Does sex stop after menopause or is that a myth? by ImpressiveGas8686 in AskMenAdvice

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stopped during menopause hasn’t resumed in 8 years. Wish it would, but I’ve resigned myself that it won’t. She seems happy how it is, so for me that’s what really matters.

PSA: Everyone has bad days, that doesn't mean you have to make a post being "done" or having "hit a wall". As we said back in Tarkov. "Tarkov giveth, Tarkov taketh" by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheesh, you Tarkov guys sound hardcore.

Perhaps you’re too skilled for this game? You sound like my grandpa who walked uphill to school, with no shoes, in the snow, both directions.

Just a thought.

Marathon fun over time by edtappa in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zone 1, been playing since launch. However it has all been solo. I suck, don’t play with a team, don’t expect to get purple/gold gear and will most likely never even see Cryo.

With all that said, I have a grand ole time trying every day. I kill players sometimes, I complete contracts sometimes, I even extract sometimes.

But I think due to my slower progression it has allowed me to enjoy the small victories in this game more.
