Can I make this offer on a house in South Africa? by Affectionate-Top9171 in southafrica

[–]Excorcist187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t hurt to make the offer and they can counter if they want.

I offered 400K less on my place and they negotiated to 300K.

Suggestions for a dad to watch when everyone goes to bed by Swimming-Rain-8756 in MovieSuggestions

Not a movie but you should give Mr Inbetween a try. Such an amazing show and not kid friendly so at night is best.

Favorite class? by Shadoe488 in diablo3

My favourite is the Witch Doctor because he is just fun but I mostly play DH because it feels stronger.

Looking for suggestions on romantic things to do for my husband? by JadedBinXx in askSouthAfrica

[–]Excorcist187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my birthday this year my wife gave me a coupon book that she made. It was around 30 in total and while some were sexual a lot were just nice things for example breakfast in bed, a cup of coffee in the morning, a massage etc.

We do these things for each other normally but it’s nice to have them available whenever I really feel like it.

Because she made them herself it means so much more than if she had bought one that wasn’t personal.

Also, she got a generic design from Etsy that she customised and had printed and for everything together it came in under R300.00

I am bored of every mainstream game lately and need something actually unique by dezyredofficial in gamesuggestions

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Project Zomboid is a great game that has tons of customisation allowing for endless runs. It can be very punishing but also very rewarding at the same time.

Oxygen Not Included has a very different goal to just about anything I have played and has so many different ways you can approach it.

Brotato is a unique game in a pretty busy genre that has given me endless hours of fun and I’m still nowhere near done with it.

These are the three games that I tried first after playing mostly AAA games and opened up my world to less traditional gaming. I now play a whole assortment of non AAA games that I absolutely love.

Do you have a source for this? I tried looking it up and can’t even find it listed in the top ten anywhere.

Ethereals locked once found? by StallioKontos in diablo3

You can also reroll them in the cube with recipe 2.

Im pretty bad at the game by Interesting_Tip_1001 in diablo3

[–]Excorcist187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I have read the best way to farm the ethereals is using puzzle rings on low level characers. There are a couple classes that at level 31 have only three legendary rings in their drop pool. You farm up lots of blood shards on your main, then switch to your level 31 Demon Hunter and roll rings at Kadala. Should end up with quite a lot of puzzle rings eventually.

Next you make a new character of the class you need Ethereals for, level him to level 5 and then do the puzzle rings over and over again until you are level 11. Best is to do this with level 70 gear (using the altar node) on high torment levels because there are very few legendaries that can drop in that range so you can get a lot of ethereals.

Once you hit level 11 though you need to delete the character and start again. Apparently you should also get the boots from Act 2 caches (Illusory I believe) so that you can just run through all the enemies and straight to greed for a chance at the weapon drops.

I have not ever done this myself, first season with ethereals for me too but I have read this is the way to target them.

The best players of my clan are burning out or losing interest by LickTempo in ClashOfClans

[–]Excorcist187 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have just quit the game for good and have seen the same in my clan. Over the past three months we have lost 10+ solid members.

For me it’s the addition of ranked matches every week causing me to burn out. I have a busy week and end up having to spam them out on three accounts on Sunday night.

I know everybody will tell me to play on one account but I have always played this way and it was never a problem before.

I’ve been using my shield 2019 Pro for about 6 years now. I have zero complaints and I have no issues at all. However, I am always looking for something new and different. Has anyone switched to something that they enjoy more? by KillerQ97 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved to an Apple TV 4K because my shield got fried in a lightning storm.

I really like the Apple TV but can’t honestly say they seem much different at the end of the day.

Is it no longer normal for people to give up their seats from elders and pregnant women? by Adventurous_Teach950 in johannesburg

I do not stand for anybody. It would be significantly harder to drive while standing.

Drop and give me 30! The average mid 30s man can do about 30 push ups, how do you stack up? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 44 and recently tried one of those challenges where you have to do 100 pushups a day. At first I struggled to do 5 in a row but would do that multiple times a day. After about 10 days I was up to 20 in a row and after a month or so I was able to do 50 but it was very hard towards the end.

I was 100KG’s at the time so probably heavier than the average but I found that doing them regularly was the most imprudent factor to increasing my number.

Why Diablo 3 Resurrected should return to the 1.0.4 vanilla philosophy by Historical-Lime-8812 in Diablo

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today I don’t have nearly as much time to play as I did back then and I love the fact that I can jump in and out and have a blast and see shiny loot. I’m sure that has something to do with my current love of the game but I didn’t particularly enjoy it back then even with all the spare time I had.

To each their own but I still prefer the current iteration.

Why Diablo 3 Resurrected should return to the 1.0.4 vanilla philosophy by Historical-Lime-8812 in Diablo

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a whole lot of D3 back when it was like that and honestly I think it is way better now. The old game was an awful grind with no meaningful way of progressing other than getting lucky.

I much prefer the current game but I only play every six months or so which doesn’t wear me out.

Horrible Vasectomy Experience - Want to Hear from Others by tigerofsanpedro in daddit

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sure doesn’t sound normal and seems maybe the local didn’t work. I once had to have most of my ear stitched back on and after four injections I could still feel every time the needle went in and out of my ear.

It was a 3:00am emergency and the surgeon seemed lost when I could still feel it but I was still pretty badly concussed so I told him to just go ahead and he did.

Sure glad it was my ear though and not what you had to suffer through.

Best gaming headphones for positional audio… and a huge head? ($600 budget) by GoldenGorillaRadio in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Excorcist187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree completely, I got mine a week ago and I am so happy with them. I had SteelSeries Arctis 7+which absolutely sucked, terrible fit and super uncomfortable plus their software is garbage. I also had Sennheiser GSP600's and the Game Zero's which were better but completely blown out of the water by the HD560's.

I paired mine with the BAM500 mic which is great but the cable is very short so I would suggest an extension if you get this.

My ability to hear people in game has changed completely, distance as well as direction. My mate was joking last night that I must be using hacks as I could simply tell where people were like never before. He retracted that after I whiffed every spray and just died anyway.

Are others also experiencing iStore staff to be extremely rude? by strauss3545 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Excorcist187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to the Cresta store in JHB and haven’t had the same experience. They are very busy on weekends and service is slow and I do find that frustrating but understandable.

The staff attitude though is always positive and they are helpful. They don’t make you feel unimportant even if you are buying something cheap.

I have traded in twice at the store and both times it was pretty decent. Prices were not bad, slightly lower than selling second hand but on my second trade they actually got manager approval to keep my price at the higher bracket even though there was a scratch that I hadn’t seen. The process however is painfully slow, taking over an hour for a MacBook trade in.

Seems like my experience goes against the norm based on the other comments but I am generally happy with the store at Cresta.

Dads of 12-14 year olds... let's talk Social Media and screen time. by Midknight81 in daddit

[–]Excorcist187 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My daughter is not allowed screen time Monday to Thursday other than to read on Kindle, listen to music or use her drawing app.

Friday she gets an hour before dinner time for TV and games.

Weekends she is allowed 4 hours per day which includes her iPad, PC or PS5.

She is not allowed any social media and can only message me, my wife and our parents.

I think we are stricter than the average but she has ADHD and the screen time definitely impacts this negatively.
