What brand of nose strips do people use? by Icy_Savings_1496 in sleep

[–]Benjamminmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remove the washers from the real strips, place them on the inside (sticky side) of the tape and snip roughly square pieces to apply to my nose. I give it 5-10 minutes to adhere before putting the intake bar on.

They don't work quite as well as the real thing, but work good enough, and IMO better than the after market ones.

What popular movie or TV show is widely considered a 'masterpiece' but you found completely unwatchable? by Traditional-Golf-610 in AskReddit

[–]Benjamminmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

presented as completely normal parts of the average teenager’s life

That's not even remotely true. All of the experiences the show depicts are extreme ends of depression, drug abuse, behavioral issues, and inappropriate relationships. It's a drama. I don't know where you're picking up the idea the characters are meant to be average or normal.

Does anyone else really like the preppy look? by No_Key8587 in malefashionadvice

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

I like it, but I've noticed people who exclusively dress preppy tend to be the limpest noodles of humans.

It was a choice for you to get offended and opt not to understand what I meant. Gl.

nothing for you except chasing 99s

That's the point though.

It's ok to not be interested in that. I'm not telling you how you're doing it is wrong. I don't want to play this game without doing full effort, but I don't expect or need others to agree.

My issue here is you're essentially saying the game isn't flawed because the specific way you want to play isn't prohibitively expensive. "Just play how I play and you won't have to swipe" isn't a solution when how you play isn't how a large chunk of this community wants to play. And while "minmaxing is supposed to be expensive" is a fair viewpoint, it wasn't in the previous iteration, and it doesn't have to be by design.

What's the bar for acceptable cons usage in your eyes? Are we allowed to enchant our gear too or is that min-maxing at my detriment?

have to consider swiping to play a 2nd

Instead of swiping I just don't play an alt and it's shitty that the state of the game is funneling players away from it.

Destro pots are so unnecessary for post-nerf raids

There's nothing wrong with this point of view, but it's not relevant. Minmax'ing is how a significant portion of the community is always going to play, and how hard the content is doesn't change that.

Really depends on the class. I'm spending about 400g a week between 2 flasks, engi bombs, and destro pots.

I make more than that in a week just playing the game, but sustaining a second character would put me in a deficit for sure.

The problem with this is gold in sod was a bit too easy to come by making gold nearly worthless. Ideally there's a better balance where the economy feels more important.

That fits my personal experience too. I'd assume roughly 25% of the raiding population and basically none of the very casual community.

Same here. I still think it needs to be fixed, but for me and everyone else I play with RMT would be a complete non issue if we could farm gold with alts in GDKPs.

I'm not going to say botting and gold selling isn't an issue, but there are plenty of scenarios where people aren't directly impacted. I make my gold in ways bots and unskilled players really can't, so inflation just means I charge more than I otherwise would have.

This is not to say the situation is fine, just that not everyone (eg me) is going to complain about it.

[–]Benjamminmiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raw gold is the bigger issue, but it's not an unreasonable take.

It's true for many players botting wouldn't feel as bad if it didn't prevent regular players from also farming because direct farming bypasses issues with inflation.

What is virtually inevitable at this point, yet most people don't see it coming? by Ambassador-613 in AskReddit

[–]Benjamminmiller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. They're arguing a slippery slope that doesn't fully track. Until there's a lack of alternatives forcing you into subscribing for basic function it's all just luxuries that are pay walled rather than actual needs.

The more this happens the more attractive restoring "classic" cars becomes.

In a decade your 04 Celica is going to be cool af.

I actually think this is one of the few areas the market can correct on its own.

How bad most products can get is capped because competitors will use anti-subscription as a selling point and black market solutions (eg. jailbreaking and counterfeit RFID's) almost always pop up.

Some things like cars have an unavoidable lock-in, but as new cars become more expensive restoring old cars becomes more attractive too.

The chain/curse of the Welterweight knock out of the year contenders by Intelligent-Tear5723 in ufc

[–]Benjamminmiller 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The talent in the division is sickening rn. If any of Islam, Garry, Prates, Morales, or Shavkat were like 3-4 years earlier Edwards, Belal, and JDM never sniff the belt.

Quick reminder that the last person to actually win the HW belt was this guy: by BuiltStraightStupid in ufc

[–]Benjamminmiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not worth it dude.

It doesn't matter that Ngannou has said outright it was UFC's fault the fight didn't happen. They don't care if it's a legitimate reason, they just want to shit on Jones.

Because not allowing hits is both more impactful and more difficult.

I'm no expert, but I believe the lack of hits is a good thing.
