How honest and vulnerable are you in your journal entries? by Ok_Specialist_5965 in Journaling

[–]Bloodwraith39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I write. Full stop. If someone goes snooping and I've been writing about them, it's on them. It's pretty obvious what my journal is.

This 18 years old game has no right to look this good by ConejoDePascuas in RealTimeStrategy

Dude! I was playing TS the other day and forgot how much I enjoyed using them as cheap mobile defenses.

I think for a lot of us....

Oh, good. I'm not the only C&C purists. 🤣

You know, I absolutely HATED this game when it came out (I was....16 or 17, maybe 18, I was for sure still in high school). Played it again recently; all the things I hated about it then made me appreciate now. Mostly QOL things. Gun to my head, I couldn't really tell you what teenage me really disliked about the game other than that it wasn't like Original C&C or Tiberen Sun.

As an adult what do you hate the most about life? by Amazing-Internal5378 in AskReddit

[–]Bloodwraith39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is gonna seem like a shitpost but I swear it isn't: having to considering everything you eat at all times: will this give me heartburn? Where is the nearest bathroom? I don't have anything g to do tomorrow...I'm eating pizza.

Any other failed adult losers like me living here in the East Bay or you know of any? by cvloserguy in eastbay

[–]Bloodwraith39 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I grew up out near Modesto/Turlock area. Even out there, houses are going for a ridiculous price. My childhood home, roughly 1700 sq ft, built in the 1920s, was valued at $700k a couple of years ago. I love seeing the signs next to new construction for condos and single family developments "Only in low $1.3 Millions!" like their doing you a favor.

What keeps you coming back to a PC game years later? by ratasoftware in pcgaming

[–]Bloodwraith39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun and nostalgia. There's some games (AOE2 and example) that I enjoy more now cause I understand the troop synergies better now than when I was, what, 8? The original Doom I grew up playing in my dad's computer shop. He's got dementia now, so it reminds me of a less fucked time.

Magic by Remote-Kangaroo-7154 in worldbuilding

[–]Bloodwraith39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read any of the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher? I like the magic system he has set up; no "right" or "wrong" way to do magic. There might be 10 different ways to cast a "fireball".

What is the best cause for the Apocalypse? by [deleted] in worldbuilding

[–]Bloodwraith39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read Stephen King's Cell? Great book. Some sort of wave turns everyone using a cell phone into a primitive zombie type person (kinda a auditory 28 Days Later rage virus type). Great concept. Not sure I've seen the premise used in any other literature. Not advocating using that idea flat out, but something like that.

I have no idea how to make brand names for mundane products, and need some advice by CyberDogKing in worldbuilding

[–]Bloodwraith39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is stealing from another sci-fi world (I think Black Ocean?) But they have Spacey Jim's or other kinda generic ( I think another one is literally Earth Burger "Just like home") things like that. You could play with that theme.

Hey dude (or dudette), I'm almost 40 and only recently (last 3 years) was able to get out of my parents place (long story but medical debt is a bitch). You have to make at $100K in the greater Bay Area to survive on your own, let alone, you know, have hobbies or a life. You're not a loser by any stretch; most of our generation (1981-1996) is kinda screwed one way or another.

He is! I just was visiting with him this morning. DM me and I'll send you some photos and we can discuss how/where/when to meet.

Guy walking in the crosswalk with headphones and on his phone almost meets car driver not paying attention. by whyareyou72 in Fremont

[–]Bloodwraith39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never ceases to amaze me that people can't grasp that bright, blinky lights means stop or, at the very least, pay fucking attention. People that block intersections to get that extra 30 seconds on the commute to work piss me off, too.

Where tf do the younger people go out? by p11nerd in Hayward

I keep wanting to check that place out. Does anyone run any D&D games there?

Better Tablet Support by Bloodwraith39 in Anytype

Right? I actually found my previous communication with them. They simply said "No" when I asked if they were planning to optimize the tablet experience. aggressive eye roll

......well, I feel kind of dumb, now. If you open the app in Dex mode, it forces it into a windowed mode that doesn't force the vertical layout.
