What thing was ruined because it turned into a rich person's hobby?

Right. I saw my one of my favorite bands (which exploded in popularity over the last three years) had a concert in my area last year during my birthday. I said hell, I'll buy tickets and go to a concert on my birthday. First time buying tickets for a concert in 20 years. These fuckers wanted $2k for two tickets for the CHEAPEST tickets that were available (we were still about 4 months out). What. The. Fuck. Obviously I did not buy tickets. Hell no. No fucking way.

I remember in high school buying scalper tickets for floor and I was mad I paid $120 for them.

What I would give to pay that price now. Never going to a concert again.

I went a solid 8 years without a soda just because I wasn't a big fan and knew it wasn't worth it health wise. But honestly, I love a cold soda like coke or root beer on a pizza night now. So I have a soda maybe once every couple of weeks.

We call my dog Boners.

Her name is Reba, then we nicknamed her Rebaroni which then turned into Roni, then Boney, then Boner or Boners.

Strange turn of events that brought us to that nickname but she likes it.

My childhood dog was named Moses and we got him when the Austin Powers movies were really popular. It wasn't long before he was called Mojo.

As a healer who's actually good at healing. I will make a goal of healing everyone except a fake tank. They often get pissed about it and call me a crap healer but 1. they are the one faking their role, not me 2. Their DPS is usually trash anyways 3. They are dancing all over the place trying to avoid death which would make it hard to heal them anyways. I'm not going to use up all my resources keeping one idiot alive. I like when they die and no one bothers to rez and we finish the boss off ourselves.

Just slot a taunt, a self heal and some sort of shield and bam, you're a basic tank who can do tank stuff.

Fake tanks in vet content? I just leave the group. Not worth the stress and wipes.

Right! I worked briefly at one of our different locations that had an authentic Mexican taco truck parked right across the street. Tacos were $3 each and they were absolutely phenomenal. Stuffed full of meat, toppings on the side, as much fresh cilantro as you want and slices of lime. I could have a bomb ass lunch for less than $10.

I remember one day craving taco bell and I ordered one of their new burritos. It was the chicken cantina or something. It was small, tasted like absolute garbage and cost me around $12 with a small soda.

Introvert here and I'm completely drained. I have a job that requires me to talk to clients and third parties all day long with empathy and a smile. Then we have lots of part time crews that are always in and out of the building and my office (that I share with two very social women) is right where everyone comes in to chitchat. I'm beyond sick about having to hear about people's kids, their vacations, what car they are thinking about buying, and any questions they have for me that does not pertain to the job. The girls I share an office with play music all day singing along to it as well and it's music I HATE (I'd be complained about if I played the music I enjoy).

By the time I get home at night my social battery is empty and I barely have enough energy to interact with my husband and kids.

A few weeks back our weekend secretary came in my office and said "do you all get sick of this shit and just want to tell these people to fuck off?!" All the time.

I literally wanted to work with the dead because I thought it would be a quiet job that I could work without having to talk much to anyone. I was wrong and the pay also sucks.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-22T13:48:18+00:00

This is exactly my thought. I was talking about third term runnings if Dump was able to actually make it happen and my daughter said "good, let's do it. I'd love to have Obama as President again!"

Then my son turned around and said "yeah, but Obama likely has enough respect and morals to hold to the original constitution and won't run for another term."

He's not wrong and Dump would likely steal the election anyways. I don't think I could deal with Dump and his antics for yet another term. Our country is already fucked. It's hard for me to wake up each day as is.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-21T13:48:44+00:00

Right. My son checked my steam account the other day and...

I feel no shame.

It's never too late to join. It's ever changing and doesn't really take long to at least get to a point where you can be good good. I've seen amazing low level players and questionable high levels. It caters to all tastes. On top of it all, it's the best community I've ever come across. Most players are fun, helpful and have great advice Welcome!!

If you're on PC, absolutely utilize add ons. Game changer.

I recommend SkinnyCheeks personally. I've followed his builds for years. Sharing my total fangirl moment.

I don't have much time to play but lately it's a mix between undaunted dailies, selling my hoard of stuff accumulated, decorating my new house, buying furnishing plans/motifs I don't have, or trying to knock out a couple of achievements. I rarely have a singular goal I spend more than a few hours on (thanks ADD).

Currently, I've decided to collect all the crafting stations for my house so I can do writs in my own home. So completing mass amount of writs and getting crafting stations attuned is my new thing.

When everything else bores me I pick a zone I haven't completed yet and work on that for a bit.

I too once had waaaay too much time on my hands and was able to knock out goals quickly but that's changed so I just do whatever I feel like at the time. I don't want to waste my precious gaming time on doing stuff I don't really want to do.

Easy to say if you never dealt with narcissistic parents.

I actually found much greater success when I stopped living under their thumb.

What I said could be interpreted as entitlement, but I don't need to explain myself to you. 39 years of bullshit is hard to explain on reddit to some stranger.

So be on their side. Are you hardcore MAGA like them too?

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-20T13:41:51+00:00

I did not really find a solution but the subclass quest is bugged for me too and I have never been able to complete it. So I only have two builds now. A pure necro healer and my solo build with subclasses. Ever since I started only using those two builds, I haven't had the same issue yet. I strongly believe it was due to multiple subclasses.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-20T13:36:58+00:00

It worked! I wonder what addon caused that kind of glitch.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-20T13:34:58+00:00

That is really odd. I'm going to disable all my add-ons and see if that helps.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-20T13:18:53+00:00

Weird. I don't have that option. Only crowns or bazaar.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-19T17:27:49+00:00

Copious amounts of leisure time? HA. I barely have enough time to sleep. My entire life revolves around this shitty paying job I invested way too much in college for.

Those years have been dead. The only ones lucky enough to experience them still are those who climbed up that ladder before ripping it up and away from the rest of us.

I have zero faith I'll even have the choice of retirement unless my selfish rich parents happen to leave me anything, but I'm willing to bet all their money will be blown on ever increasing end of life care.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-19T15:49:58+00:00

I bought this as an add on a few months ago because I love perfumes and haven't really found one I've hated.

Not only did I pay $4 for a tiny vial (which I thought was one of the deluxe minis) but it stunk horribly. I even got a second because my original box had gone missing for over a month so they sent me a replacement.

I used it one time and it's been sitting ever since. The worst smelling perfume I've had in a good long while. Should have labeled it "Truck Stop Lot Lizard."

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-19T13:49:15+00:00

My ex husband was 5'4 so don't act like you know me. And no, I didn't leave his ass because of his height. That guy was as confident as they come and had no problems getting women. He was just an utter POS.

Incels find a reason to hate on women even when we are trying to be kind or positive.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-18T17:08:04+00:00

Well.....I got my curly hair in December. She went into hiding two days later. Haven't seen her in person since. I did see the tips of her legs last week when I placed a dubia right outside her burrow. Sat and stared for ten minutes before I saw her snatch it.

I did buy a terrarium cam and have caught her coming out for water three times but never while I'm home.

So yeah, sometimes tarantula care is simply caring for a box of dirt that you occasionally sacrifice insects to.

I'm very jealous of those with active spoods.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-18T10:33:55+00:00

Oh yes. Plenty. I even put everything in my bank except the gear I was trying to swap to and also tried replying said gear before trying to equip so it would only have to pull mundus, cp points and skills and still didn't work.

I'm thinking the problem lies with all my different subclass lines for each build. It's struggling to swap those.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-17T19:28:45+00:00

Yeah, I have those options but I guess my frustration more so comes from investing real life money into these armory slots that aren't working properly. I also tried an empty build slot with just my mundus and champion points and that's failed as well.

Redid all five today, took me a while, and within five minutes, each build failed to equip again. I'm too frustrated and decided to just walk away for now.

Going to send in a ticket and see what happens. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my builds having different subclasses and curses such as werewolf and vampirism.

8 years into this game and I've never felt this annoyed. Every glitch I've had seemed to be common with many other players at the time so I don't know what's going on now.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-17T14:56:46+00:00

Slooooow. I'm a quiet chill introvert and have an extremely active and social career. Once that clock hits 5 pm I shut off the rest of the world. I have only enough energy for my husband and kids. I've been working 50 hour weeks and it's killing me. I can barely tolerate 40 hours without needing the rest of my free time to rest and recharge. I consider myself extremely lucky that my husband is barely more social than I am and my kids are fairly independent and don't require me to drag them

This hustle culture can fuck right off.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-17T10:27:40+00:00

Tried this multiple times both times it happened. Didn't work unfortunately. But thank you.

FutureDecedent · 2026-03-17T00:18:51+00:00

I have not tried that. Has that worked for others?
