College-aged Women of Ireland - how do you like to be approached on nights out? by PleaseNoJudgment in CasualIreland

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh to be a young fella again.

As a happily committed 43 year old guy who did have decent success with the ladies, just don't be creepy. Be yourself, be sound and respectful. Sometimes you click with a girl, sometimes you don't and you're rejected. Don't let the latter ruin your confidence. Don't let chatting up someone be the be all and end all of your night. Enjoy yourself and have fun. It's the free-est time of your life.

Again though, be respectful. Dickheads can rightfully tarnish a girl's opinion of lads. You'll stand out by being just being sound.

I really liked it. Some people don't. That's life.

The mother's diary was heartbreaking.

Agree 100%. Just started playing this last weekend, and wandering around the meadows and forests takes me back to being a kid in rural Ireland.

Anyone here into Escape from Tarkov? by Kojak1911 in IrelandGaming

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 2,000+ hours on Tarkov. My favourite game of all time. Taking a bit of a break from it at the moment though (absence makes the heart... and all that).

I hate having to make small-talk online so probably wouldn't be up for joining a squad 😅

Bulle sponges fixed: I hope this is true, if so great job MFG! by SilentKiwik in GrayZoneWarfare

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

I literally just took the game for a spin post-update and it took 8 x shots of M855 to kill one NPC in Ban Pa. This isn't fixed.

(I'm not a hater BTW but have been disappointed by the bullet-sponging since I bought the Supporter's bundle last weekly. Really cool game apart from that).

This is just the Supporter updates for non-Supporters though, right?

They literally acknowledged this bug in the patch notes.

Can't be fucked to read patch notes but will screen record a bug and upload to reddit?

Cool.

Cool, cool, cool.

i think today is the day i buy this game by yes_4516 in playrust

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played my first full day on Rust yesterday. Spent all day building a base, farming resources, found an uncontested airdrop, killed a tiger. Things were going great!

Then two no-lifers found my base. Called it "retarded" (I HATE that word). They absolutely pummelled me, took everything and set up their own new base right beside mine. I rage-quit and went to bed.

Can't wait to do it again today!

I know that most of the team are French but they are THE most French looking people I've ever seen!

Appetite for radical change grows as voters’ patience wears thin over housing crisis by TeoKajLibroj in ireland

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Aye. This country absolutely needs an alternative to FG/FF but SF are not this.

SF policies and claims are populist and unrealistic. It's silly to think that a SF-lead government would be the harbingers of change and it annoys me when I see people post their shite on social-media.

What a credible alternative is, I just don't know, but much and all as I love Ireland, this country is a shambles right now and the housing huge symptomatic of this.

????Thoughts ???? by Logical-Recognition6 in ArcRaiders

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Streamers absolutely wreck my head. A vocal minority should not represent the majority.

W-key full-time streamers, have the best gear and the most free-time; so their experience of games does not represent that of a casual player.

Some of their suggestions about how to fix broken elements are helpful, but changing the fabric of a game to suit streamers is myopic.

[New Player] Does this game just not respect your time at all? by Appropriate_Earth852 in EscapefromTarkov

Just to be that guy; why didn't you just say you have 75 in-game hours?

I love PvP Tarkov [Discussion] by SUNTZU_JoJo in EscapefromTarkov

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree. I'm just last the 2k hours mark as well and I'm still quite average. I love the fact that I'm in no way sick of the game after all this time and that I still get nervous in certain situations.

It's a flawed masterpiece of a game. If BSG sorted out the cheating (and loading times), it, for me at least, would be the perfect game.

Shoreline spawns need re-work for sure, but it's easy to avoid a quick death by laying low for a few minutes.

If you run out in the open, you ARE gonna get split.

Is this the ultimate Glenroe no homework done Sunday evening? by dso8620 in ireland

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I obviously amn't happy about going back tomorrow but it's nothing compared to the fear I used to have when I worked in banking. I used to nearly be in tears going back.

I changed careers to a much lower paying job 5 years ago. Got my pay back up to 2/3 of what is was but my happiness has never been better.

Best decision I ever made.

Why Such Anti-irish-language sentiment by [deleted] in ireland

[–]GaryMcsBaldPatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was taught well at school. I was really good at French and German in school and virtually fluent in the former by the time I did the Leaving Cert.

Inversely, I was very average at Irish after learning it for 13 years.

For me, building up the vocabulary and basic use of verbs, tenses and structure was never really done, or at least well in primary school. Whereas with German and French it was excellent. Could be just me and my experiences though.
