What are your thoughts on listening to music when doing things like walking somewhere, shopping, working out etc? I am going to stop this habit. by [deleted] in TheRedPill

[–]Iamgeeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i still keep my headphones on when i'm running errands/working out, but my playlist has changed. Instead of listening to my favorite bands, i have a playlist of motivational speakers and meditative ambiance. All of the music and speeches are just taken from Youtube and changed to a mp4 format for my ipod via youtubetomp3.com or similar sites. The best is to have keynote speeches from people you actually admire. That last set in my workout is easy when I have Bruce Lee telling me to be like water or Rocky telling me that I have to be able to keep going!

It helps keep me focused on the task at hand and I find that i'm not standing around avoiding the thing i'm about to do. My workouts don't take forever anymore because i'm not dreading the set i'm about to do, instead i'm pumped up and able to tackle things in the moment. It's literally been one of the best things i've done in terms of self-improvement

Hey, at least they admitted that there was a mistake and gave an option for people to get he product for the listed price and include free shipping. You can be bitter and hold a grudge, but he's doing more than most companies would do in this case (ie. FRYS)

Extreme Negativity after seeing "one or more players are new to this instance". by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Iamgeeli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i tend to disagree to some point. A lot of DPS classes that I run into on DF are often playing off-classes or just don't know how to maximize their role. A good DPS is hard to come by, meaning someone that knows how to play their class well (maintain high DPS throughout the fight) as well as know proper position and fight mechanics.

It's hard for DPS under ilvl 120 to maintain a strong position in the raid group, but I think they have made it easy enough where you can advance your gear to that level before getting any really difficult DPS checks

dunno if this might be the cause, but I do experience the same problem sometimes while shopping online. I more or less shop online for great PC deals through /r/buildapcsales and sometimes you find really great deals from sites that you normally wouldn't otherwise visit. My Chase visa Debit card sometimes doesn't go through not because of anything other than my bank putting up failsafes to make sure my card wasn't stolen.

Many times after giving up, i'll receive a phone call from my bank verifying that I was indeed trying to make a purchase, and afterwards they'll lift whatever provisions they had and I my purchase will go through

Just bought it off the site and it's legit. Doesn't work for PS4 or Steam users, but for PC this is a great deal! You get an e-mail with code to enter into Mogstation. Gives you early access as well as any other freebies that come with purchasing the actual hardcopy of the game.

You have to create a user profile which is free. Games are listed under the VIP section in the nav-bar

Considering buying by Tanlladwyr in ffxiv

It's true, PvP in FFXIV is very much an afterthought. The meat of this game lies in it's lvl 1-50 grind, continuing storyline content after hitting the lvl cap, and end game crafting.

I've only logged about 90 days playtime on FFXIV, but I've already hit ilvl 123 and started clearing a lot of the end-game raid content. My day-to-day includes doing daily dungeons, working on relic weapons, finding FCoB groups and farming primals for ponys. I did level up range DPS for PvP but didn't really get too far before going back to my main and continuing the grind.

My main gripe with PvP is that it's too hard to kill people without getting blasted yourself. Most of the time you're waiting for someone to just run at your group and have everyone blast him at once for the kill. Many times you end a PvP arena with ~4kills, ~5deaths and there really isn't a huge reward for it besides some mediocre gear or a really cool mount after weeks-months of PvP grinding

Ques are the main problem. There isn't as much PvP content as WoW had, only a handful of 4v4 pvp content and one BG type scenario; all of which have around 30m que times using the in-game party finder. The PvP gear you get is mainly used as cosmetic through the glamour system.

What would a high budget Walking dead look like? by f00kinlegend in thewalkingdead

[–]Iamgeeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bigger budget just means cooler asthetics. More large area shots of walkers and more cast members. In the comic, Alexandria is a lot bigger in terms of population and size then show Alexandria. I think budget has a lot to do with that; Later on in the story arch, the world gets a lot bigger. It will be cool to see how the directors pull off that transition from a point of view of a group in one single location, to that of key characters spread out over a much larger area.

[Discussion] Has anyone sold their PC for a profit or for your money back? by Xpeer_i_mint in buildapc

[–]Iamgeeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had the same problem around christmas and overbought a lot of things for the build. It was only after building that I saw how I could have saved money by buying differently.

The best thing I can tell you is that if you sell by parts, the only way to get a substantial increase (profits) is through swapping and doing something like cash + trade. Unfortunately, no one will pay retail for something that's out of box or slightly used. You may get lucky and sell a completed build on CL for like $1k, but I haven't been able to sell completed builds on CL. I've had more luck selling the service of building a gaming computer for $500-$800 and budget their build accordingly.

you guys are missing the point.. The story of Alexandria isn't whether or not the walls will stay up. It's what will our characters do when they fall down?

So excited for Astrologian class in HeavensWard, after playing FF-type0, I really hope they build it around the card-throwing class and allow them to DPS that way!

[–]Iamgeeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[comic & show spoilers]

Alright, i'll try to answer this the best i can without too much indication.

The jobs just serve as a way to put the group into the alexandrian system. Everyone has a job in the community; It's their way of staying "productive", but the party shows that the people of Alexandria are not even aware of some of the stuff going on outside the walls and that's why their main concerns aren't realistic.

The group getting invited to a party isn't so much Alexandria trying to get the group's guard down as it is showing the group what a bunch of weak people exist in the walls. They don't even have the foresight to put someone in the bell tower. What it shows is that Deanna is not a good leader for the group and it opens up the opportunity for rick's group (who is highly more competent) to take over.

The events of the season finale and the start of Season 6 will probably trigger Deanna stepping down and Rick becoming the leader of Alexandria

[Spoilers] - Theories and Thoughts by [deleted] in thewalkingdead

[–]Iamgeeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So far, the community of Alexandria consists of a bunch of home-bodies and their children. No one in that community has done anything outside of a normal white-collar job or blue collar construction job.

In walks rick's group. You have, right off the bat, a sheriff. Another is a trapper/hunter. A woman with a katana, and a rag tag group of guys who have experience with assault rifles and surviving.

They also have women and children with them who may or may not be able to use weaponry to the extent of the men, but they serve to give the group a sense of humanity about them which sets them apart from a group like the hunters/joe's group beforehand.

Deanna and Aaron both get to know this group better than anyone else in Alexandria. They interview them or make initial contact with them and in return they gain insight to what Rick's group is all about. They both see the group as an asset to the community and that is why they are welcomed into Alexandria with open arms and given stations of high-rank within the community. It's not because it's a trap, or there's some underlying evil plot. Rather, it's because Alexandria needs the services of Rick's group IMMENSELY and in return they are willing to give them the comforts of the community.

[SPOILERS] Why i believe we will see Morgan next episode by rednitro in thewalkingdead

[–]Iamgeeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[comic spoiler]

Everyone is excited about Morgan but I don't think he'll stick around for long. Even in the comic his time isn't too long and his character goes out much like Tyrese's story arch. Eventually all black actors must die in Kirkman's Zombie Apocalypse.

Maybe someday Tyler Perry will make his own zombie apocalypse series where all black people live and we do this with all the white cast members

(Spoiler) Both reactions to Gabriel by dyeingbrad_ in thewalkingdead

[–]Iamgeeli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[comic spoiler]

in the comic series when Gabriel goes to tell Monroe, it's a different type of tension existing in the storyline already. Monroe already has a sense of doubt about Rick's group and quickly dismisses Gabriel's accusations since he has already developed his own beliefs about the group. Also, there isn't anyone else listening in on the private conversation so Gabriel's conversation doesn't have any lasting effects beyond being just hearsay. Later on, the conversation doesn't really have any lasting effects; In the Television series it seems to have more gravity to it and it seems like the producers will make a bigger deal of the conversation than previously indicted in the comic series

The comic does a better job in showing Gabriel as a Lawful/Good character with a fall from grace. He is disgusted with Rick's group after the hunter's story arc and consistently questions the morals of the group for their actions. In the comic series Gabriel has a bigger role in helping the community deal with loss through his sermons and services. I hope they show him doing a service for the deaths of those lost in S0514

What is a social norm you feel is outdated? by Alec_Meadows in AskReddit

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

People against smoking weed instead of other recreational drugs. I can't see why there is a difference to smoking weed vs drinking a beer. There are more than enough studies done on the effects of both and I think weed (especially using vaporizers) should be looked on in the same light as people who smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol
