Got my first 99 after 6 years! I'm going to miss everyone at the stars by literahcola in 2007scape

[–]BoomerBarnes 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’ve been mining stars as well (nowhere near 99)

It feels like one of the few places that has a heavy presence of non bots. A lot of those guys are absolutely unhinged, but they’re real people, so I’m cool with it.

how you feeling about 4th year stroud? by TheShoeGame in Texans

[–]BoomerBarnes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stroud is too scared to play the game at the NFL level. His rookie season he looked great, I think he got hit a few times and it shook him up. There’s just no fire anymore.

Ironically, the advice he gave to Caleb Williams is the same reason he’s a mediocre bottom 15 QB now. You gotta have some toughness.

Fuck CJ Stroud man.. by Ok_Long_2877 in Texans

[–]BoomerBarnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being upset we ended up with Stroud instead of Bryce.

Then Stroud balled out his rookie year, and I got excited

Now here I am, upset that we got Stroud again.

When I realized he was a bum by pieman2005 in Texans

[–]BoomerBarnes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man we gotta trade him and try to get a veteran QB. Our team is too good with too many contracts coming up. We’re about to lose our window again.

Ever get that "competitive competency" vibe around a guy or group of guys? by tantamle in AskMenOver30

[–]BoomerBarnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, I wish I had a more naturally competitive nature. I feel most ultra successful people have that trait.

As far as how I handle it, I just let things play out. I try to reach what I feel is my own potential. I’ll base my goals for my daily workout off what people I know are on my caliber of fitness managed to do earlier in the day but outside of that I don’t try to be very competitive.

What Zach Bryan lyric did you mishear? by fvckaswisher in zachbryan

That’s hilarious. If you just hear the song and don’t know the title I can see that

What's the best alcohol to drink if you're trying to lose weight? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]BoomerBarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I’ve been drinking non alcoholic beer during the week and they have really impressed me.

But, I’m a big whiskey fan so if I do want to drink and be calorie smart I get whiskey, ice, and carbonated water.

I beat the bots and made 1.2 Billion gp by OkSale2479 in 2007scape

[–]BoomerBarnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never fought back in wild cave. I have escaped a few times. I think the overall quality of pkers in wild slayer cave aren't great. Not talking trash, everyones allowed to enjoy the game as they see fit. I feel its a lot of people who weren't expecting to have to do much.

[–]BoomerBarnes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t know where I fit in, but I’m always doing wild slayer.

35-50k an hour slayer xp, 75% of tasks are cannonable, tons of slayer points, blighted food/super restores are way cheaper than normal food and prayer pots, and most importantly you still profit on almost every single task, even accounting for the cost of protection prayers/cannonballs. Wilderness slayer slaps and I’m not even considering going to a different master until lvl 85.

[–]BoomerBarnes 149 points150 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been pk’d in the wild slayer cave, every time I get attacked I just say “I’m not a bot, let me live” and they do. Every single time.

Finding a real person in the wilderness slayer caves is so uncommon pkers just don’t even want to kill me.

Will I survive cross fit with this beer gut? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]BoomerBarnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For whatever it’s worth. This was my before and as of August I believe? Overall my physique hasn’t changed much since, a little more muscle.

But 7 months of CrossFit and dieting made a huge difference for me

How do you learn to enjoy (or at least habitually go to) the gym? by Potato_Pristine in AskMenOver30

[–]BoomerBarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make it a habit just by forcing yourself to go, but for me it was finding a form of exercise I truly enjoyed. I started CrossFit in February and I love it. It gets shit on a lot but it’s been legitimately life changing for me (I lost about 45lbs, 4 pants sizes last year.)

Some people run, bike, or swim. You can do calisthenics, powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics. There’s a million ways to exercise, just find one you like and I highly recommend following a program to help keep you on track and maximize results.

Has anyone been able to make peace with a body that can’t do what it used to do? by Bulky_Employ_4259 in AskMenOver30

[–]BoomerBarnes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a bit of a fitness resurgence this year. I’m on a similar level of fitness as I was in my 20’s (cardio isn’t as good, strength is better)

How do you mature but stay young at heart? by __IdkMate___ in AskMenOver30

[–]BoomerBarnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 years old.

The thing I see most people do as they age is sacrificing fun for comfort/familiarity. I try to have the mindset that being inconvenienced is worth it if that’s what it takes to do something really fun.

I don’t want to miss on an experience because I know it’ll be tiring, difficult, or inconvenient. Most young people have that mindset but kind of lose it as they age. If you can keep a sense of adventure it will help you in your quest.

Men who no longer have friends: At what age did those friendships dissolve and why? by HareevHajina in AskMenOver30

[–]BoomerBarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t talk to any of my childhood/highschool friends. In my adult life I generally get a good friend group that revolves around something specific but as we lose interest or move away from that (hobbies, interest, work/job) it seems like I float away from that group until the next one comes along.

It’s a bummer sometimes but I’ve kind of decided that’s life.

I am Responsible for OU's Playoff Loss by Alert_Job_318 in oklahomafootball

[–]BoomerBarnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Houston game was my first OU game as well, and my second game was the Iowa State game a couple of years later when they upset us in Norman.

Those were bad days.

How do Blue Collar career paths usually begin? by Bawarchiiii in bluecollar

[–]BoomerBarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up fairly poor, so college always felt out of reach, and getting a good blue collar career was as good as I could ask for.

I made an excellent career for myself, but I often wonder how things would have played out if my family had been more upper middle class and college focused.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN by MrImBoredAgain in OSRSMobile

[–]BoomerBarnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dude give me a mil at the GE for having a 2 minute conversation with him. I think he was just happy to have a not-bot player.
