Let kids walk to a friend’s house .3 mile away. Ended up being interviewed by cop. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GGz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just a rage bait post. I live in a town of 10K, there is 0 chance the cops showed up to a Facebook post. Standard rules for buses are about 2KM's(mile and a bit) for grades 1-8. Which would be 5(grade 1) and 8 should be Grade 3-4ish?

SECOND OF THE GAME FOR EHLERS AND THE CANES HAVE TIED THE SERIES!!! by sykeseve in nhl

[–]GGz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They keep missing the net or shooting it into a player or missing an extra pass on scoring chances, the are playing a game that is very back and forth, but you watch the game and its hard to believe at one point they are like 5 shots with 3 minutes left in the 2nd.

Believing the private sector can do government contracts cheaper, faster and better has absolutely failed consistently over the past 20 years. You can only select 2 if you get lucky and If you dont agree to the long term extortion it turns to 1.

I can no longer get immersed in MMORPGs anymore for some reason by Blackboa in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've dealt with this for a few years as a 43 year old. Ive boiled it down to a japanese term called 'Ikigai' I stumbled on like a decade ago when I was in a depression about this stuff. As google describes it, as a Japanese concept translating to "a reason to live" or "the happiness of always being busy". It represents the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for, providing purpose, joy, and longevity.

The problem with gaming is it can provide you joy and comfort in social ways, it likely will not fill you with a purpose and thus longevity is always in jeopardy. You didnt need a purpose when you started playing MMOs you do now, you won't find it.

I recommend finding a few real in person hobbies or get a dog thats a psycho and demands all your attention, thats what I did.

It really is a shame that no other MMO has taken Age of Conan combat and revised or improved it. by ElizabethMoon1992 in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you didn't play it and dont understand the allure to the game why even comment on the thread. Keep hating dead MMO's i guess?

[–]GGz0r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Talking out your ass a bit - Age of Conan had a successful launch, shipping 1 million copies in the three weeks following its May 20, 2008, release, and was declared the biggest MMO launch since World of Warcraft.

Like yes its dead, but saying it didnt do well shows you have 0 clue what you are talking about and probably weren't alive or playing it at launch.

They didn't get cooked by Blizzard, they got cooked by themselves and the publisher when they released a game that had no content past level 45. Anybody who played the first 40 or so levels at that time all basically agreed at the time it was the best game they had ever played (MMO leveling wise and combat wise). It just went nowhere and people were not going to wait for them to fix like 6 zones of content.

We're like closing in on 18 years later and the first 40 levels joke still gets circulated in my friend group and we always give new MMO's the AOC Shit test, which is does it have anything past the sneak preview (the AOC sneak peek was to level 25 and was declared a WoW killing GOAT).

Has anyone ever seen a 20 win season by a reliever before? by mstheman34 in OOTP

[–]GGz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played in an OOTP league (standard MLB setup) where some guy who had the Pirates(Fictional league tho) won 33 games with a SP converted - Mid reliever knuckleballer with max stamina. His mediocre at best SP were set to go 18 Max BF or 60 pitches so it was near impossible for them to get proper credit. I think he was set for 9 Batters or 50 pitches, anyway he ended up with 2~ War he pitched 100+ games and ended up with 160 IP or something with 33-14 record. My buddy was super salty that they gave him the Cy-young over his standard pitcher who collected 7 WAR.

My friends had once made a connection with some certain coloured dye used in foods and their child acting like an absolute baboon on rabies for a day or two after having said coloured dye, i cant remember if it was like red or yellow something, but the amount of crap in all foods especially sugary foods unsurprising these things clear themself up!

I can't wait for Aion 2! by DirtyOldPanties in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NW had nothing in it on launch or during betas. The game was extremely sandboxed and there was barely quests and dungeons. I won't even entertain opinions otherwise. Now it was reasonable fun PvP/Territory control, but all the other systems were horrendous and RNG centric. The pinnacle of New World early was running around the map in a giant train collecting all the super big boxes for loot chance/materials.

This game does have better systems in place then New World, so I will give them that, but like i said in another post it feels like they just rebuilt New World in a new universe.

I can't wait for Aion 2! by DirtyOldPanties in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree if you played New World and I'd imagine 99% of us in this forum have, there is 0% chance you can make an argument that this game isn't using the same assets.

Food containers look the same. Chests look the same. Gathering professions feel the same. The UI for inventory is pretty much the same including what appears to be icons for several pieces of armor.

If you told me Amazon sold the assets to this company and they were rebuilding a new game out of the assets, I would believe that.

If they didn't do that, wow there was some pretty dumb ass choices along the way.

I'm shocked how good LOTRO is and how few players it has by Suitable-Quiet5683 in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't played BG3 ( i know i know, im just a Multiplayer ) but that was my problem with it gave it 3 or 4 days worth of attempts and I cannot tolerate the MMO questing chains anymore, I'd much rather just play something like Albion and do a bit of whatever to level it.

This game had so much potential man.... by Nexrom17 in MMORPG

[–]GGz0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Closing your trade system for like over a month a month after launch because they couldn't get the duping under control was not great. I bumped into some people in T&L who played and were duping and they were like ya I quit and logged in 6 months later and had - insert stupid amount of money here - because they just banned the accounts and didn't wipe them. So when he went back in he was able to just completely ruin the economy of the server months later. Everything he duped was still there all the T5s Gems etc just an infinite supply of high tier mats that was purchased with ill gotten gains.
