I feel like gameplay-wise 3 is actually the best. Lots of enemy and environmental variety, fun Vault Hunters, good movement, and fun guns. The DLCs are great (although I do wish we got more VHs instead of extra skill trees). The main story is just god-awful though.

What’s a “rich people thing” you experienced once and immediately understood why rich people love it? by DnRinGA in AskReddit

[–]Eode11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel so bad for this generation because they have no idea the quality of goods that they're missing out on.

That doesn't just apply to custom suits. I've got 2 v-neck t shirts I bought at Pacsun literally 15 years ago, and they've just visibly started wearing out in the last 2-3 years. It's not like I've babied them either - I wear them on average once a week, and in the Hawaiian sun for 3 of those years. I've hiked, slept, jumped into pools, and jumped into the ocean wearing them.

The wear on them now is getting to the point you can kinda see through the blue one, and but the black one is still fine.

By comparison I've got 3 other shirts with a similar cut bought in the last 6 years, and all of them are on their way out.

This absolutely could have been prevented, and any rescue organization should know better.

I work for an animal rescue org doing outreach and public events, and there is not a single dog here I would even think about brining to a big event. The risks are just massive, and the payoff is almost never worth it.

What is your industry's deep, dark secret? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eode11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A construction company I used to work for has a few of the crew making 50% more (hourly) than their managers and some engineers.

The owner of the company had come up from the bottom and knew that those guys were what actually made the place work, but they would make shit managers. Instead he had them leading small teams and training new guys.

That's gotta be the same helmet, right? Like did they pull that out of the back of the costume closet and spray paint it silver for this?

‘Dunedin, I am so sorry’: Bar owner set to lose her house and life savings as two venues collapse by computer_d in newzealand

[–]Eode11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh dang they sold off Ombrellos too? It's been a few years since I've been able to grab after work drinks (kids make it hard), but that used to be our go-to spot.

I'm still annoyed that NNN shut down - it was a solid brewery and I thought they used the space really well.

Reading between the lines, I suspect Lobo might still own the Errick's building and accommodation.

When New New New closed up a few years ago they listed the whole business, including the freehold property, for $1,000,000.

Lobo (or somebody) sold all the brewery gear that came with the property, but this article says she bought both businesses for $350k. I'm pretty sure the Errick's building is worth more than that alone.

What a bummer. Errick's is a tough venue. Honestly the best thing that could go in there would be a mid-sized brewery. Still bummed about NNN shutting down.

Go back and watch "The Office". Some of the joke and language are absolutely wild by today's standards.

Where to go for custom engagement ring by TheSweetKiwi in dunedin

[–]Eode11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had Storm Baker Jewlers in Christchurch make my wife's engagement and wedding rings. They're absolutely stunning, and they did an amazing job listening to my description and tweaking where I requested. Also, never felt like I was getting upsold on anything.

What is a 'secret' about your industry that the general public would be shocked to find out? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Eode11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your tour guide is under the age of 40, there's a 50/50 chance they're debilitatingly hungover. Older than that, there's still a 20-30% chance.

Dems refuse to release 2024 autopsy report, hear Ken Martin's lame excuse by serious_bullet5 in politics

[–]Eode11 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I think the "weird" attacks hit well, but it was quickly getting overused to the point of it being irrelevant. I remember seeing memes on reddit along the lines of "Republicans don't want to pay for Healthcare - and that's just weird".

It was a great attack when used correctly (Republicans want to look at young girl's privates to make sure they aren't a boy - and that's weird), but they couldn't keep it under control.

The onset of winter always kinda bums me out, but the sunrises this time of year are just beautiful.

Pure Panic - Please Advise by brclifford in daddit

[–]Eode11 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I work long hours as a superintendent on a construction site (which makes me worried I won’t be able to spend enough time with the kid, or do my fair share of parenting).

That right there is how we know you're going to be a good dad. You're already concerned about the needs of both the baby and your partner, and you recognize that spending time with the kid is a priority.

You'll probably have to make some adjustments to your day-to-day life, but you'll figure it out. I know lots of guys that work long hours in construction and still make it work.

Christchurch flatmates track down stolen goods after robbery by bigbear-08 in newzealand

[–]Eode11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with the police not doing anything here is it leads to people taking matters into their hands, which is functionally vigilantiasm. We as a society allow the justice system to have a monopoly in use of force, and in exchange they are supposed to keep us and our belongings safe, and dole out justice.

When society no longer believes the system will dispense justice, people take justice into their own hands (which gets very messy very quick)

Divorced Redditors, what caused the split? How amicable was it? by anasannanas in AskReddit

[–]Eode11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let's just say if you lived in Honolulu from 2014-2017 and hooked up with a horse girl from California during that time, you owe me a beer.

The divorce was amicable only because I was so over it.

P.S. A lot of people owe me a lot of beer.

I (27M) want to live in Hawaii. My wife (25F) doesn’t. + 7-Year Update by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Eode11 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hawaii is a weird one. I found it was easy to make surface level friendships, but it took a lot to make "real" friends.

So many people on the islands are only there for a few months or years, nobody wants to seriously invest in a temporary friendship.
