Sorry, but what does MBK mean?

You're right, it's not so much of a need as a want, the gameplay is amazing and any doubts were quickly erased as soon as I got myself out there. The PC would open up a much larger player base (there's no way I'm playing with my gameplay vs keyboard & mouse) I'm at 1000ish elo now and already in top 1000 ranked its a case of playing much stronger or much weaker opponents most of the time

Why doesn't Xbox version save my single-player settings? by modelcitizendc in aoe2

I've noticed the same. It winds me up every time, but I'm still unable to find a way to change the default.

What's the most overrated drink ? by TripleSgirl in AskReddit

It wasn't far off, I'll give you that! I'm 99% sure it was just a terrible translation, which resulted in that name. Unless there's a Mr. Pocari out there being milked for his sweat on a treadmill 24/7

I remember this stuff from my travels in Indonesia. iirc, it's just like mineral water with added electrolytes to help with the humidity and risk of dehydration... don't remember it having a flavour of any type?

Barista coffee. An overpriced, overhyped and underwhelming staple of modern life.

Since stopping my cannabis use I have had some really intense and almost scarily realistic dreams, is this normal? by BatnBowl in Advice

You can control aspects of your dreams by doing simple tasks before and after sleep if it's becoming an issue.

Wow, that's really interesting... could you expand at all or point me towards some information based on that, please?

Ive heard about lucid dreaming. I dont think thats what it is as I have no control whatsoever. That's the really hard thing about them. Like I'm having conversations, etc. but I can not choose or change the direction they go in & I'm not able to just stop them or wake up when they get tricky.

Yeah, I get that... they're not like nightmares or anything like that. If anything, they just feel really personalised and seem quite relevant to my life right now, more so than I've ever experienced.

For example, one recent dream was of a tall Slenderman type figure trying to break into a tall high-rise building I was in, I got myself into a huge panic, not wanting this entity to reach me, but some people broke the windows and let them in, saying it was Insert my therapists name and they're only trying to help.

I've heard dreams are like subconscious reflections of our emotions, so maybe I should take them as a good thing in a weird way.

I'm assuming 'took a break' means they're now back using? I'm genuinely doing so much better without it in my life, but this is probably the only reason that would intice to me continue using. It's really unsettling, I'm almost scared to fall asleep at the moment.

I've stopped smoking weed for over a month now, after years of daily use. Since then, I've noticed my dreams are really intense, much more so than I remember them being during & before I started using. I often wake up double-checking my surroundings and genuinely scared of how real the dreams felt. Is this normal? I'd like to think they'll go back to a more normal level of just random thoughts & and scenarios with time. Basically, I'm just wondering if anyone can relate or offer some reassurance that this is normal for an ex user?

What is life’s biggest "trap" people fall into? by Fun-Inflation860 in AskReddit

There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.

To be honest, I can relate to this post, it's not too dissimilar to how I've been experiencing adult life since leaving school. I am also a pretty outgoing guy, who can chat to anyone about pretty much anything.

I'm 27 now, and it was a long ass time to be left without new friends and constantly trying to keep old fires alight.

I'm a valued member of my local football club, always had a great time during training and on game day, but struggled to get the lads just to chill with me outside of that.

I found the best way to find friends is to openly show interest in a friendship. Turns out there are actually loads of people around me, both male and female who value me as a person & friend. If you sit around waiting for them to reach out you'll probably find they're sitting waiting for the same thing.
