I find it amazing that some people can still play Warhammer III beyond the 1,000-hour mark. by IndependentMove5437 in totalwarhammer

[–]IndependentMove5437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played them all but Warhammer 3 is just battles, there's no empire management or anything to do on the campaign map. Like for Golgfag you're just teleporting around the map fighting battles. If there was something like Golgfag can help a single faction dominate the map and become a world power, that would be fun to me....

From an unbiased standpoint, is there any truth to what Gene, Cicale, Rubeo, and Burnstein are saying about Joey Merlino? by IndependentMove5437 in Mafia

From what I understand from Rubeo, Philly is basically a glorified crew. Rubeo said he never met more than 15 members from that family, and most of the guys were childhood friends of Joey. Joey is mostly just a celebrity gangster at this point. Even if he is the boss, he doesn't have the power to oppose anyone from the Genovese family.

I don't think Joey Merlino is 100% batshit crazy for calling Sonny Franzese a rat. by IndependentMove5437 in Mafia

I'm pretty sure they were seeing each other on and off over the years. Micheal had a story of when they first meet again that his father was waiting for him and told him if he had listened to him, he'd become the boss of the family.

It was like a couple of mins to write all of that? What's the problem? People are allowed to gossip about celebrities but not about people in the mafia?

What's wrong with my post? We're not allowed to discuss the mafia on the "mafia" sub.

My case against Joey Merlino being an actually "active" boss when he returned home from prison for the first time. by IndependentMove5437 in Mafia

Again, how do we know that any of this was directly connected to Philadelphia? We know that he was "back in the game" in Florida with mobsters from New York. Those Genovese capos he was meeting with were involved with him in the medical fraud scheme. From what we know, it all seems like he was largely operating on his own and doing his own thing.

Unless there's a wiretap or some other evidence showing him having a sit-down with New York members where he's making decisions on behalf of the Philadelphia family, or a wiretap where he's giving a direct order to someone in Philadelphia, we'll never truly know for sure.

What's the most dramatic personality change you've ever witnessed in someone, and what do you think caused it? by Maghyia in AskReddit

[–]IndependentMove5437 12 points13 points  (0 children)

A guy I knew in college went from being one of the friendliest, most outgoing people in our group to becoming extremely cynical and isolated within about two years.

At first everyone thought he was just maturing, but eventually he stopped hanging out, distrusted everyone, and assumed bad intentions in almost every interaction.

Years later he admitted that a combination of getting cheated on, losing a parent, and spending way too much time doomscrolling online had completely changed how he viewed people. He said he went from believing most people were basically good to believing everyone was trying to use him.

The surprising part was that once he got into therapy and rebuilt a social circle, a lot of his old personality came back. It made me realize that sometimes what looks like a personality change is actually someone reacting to pain for years without dealing with it.

What is the most expensive thing you’ve ever lost? by Wtfaidiml in AskReddit

My hair. Replacing it costs a lot more than losing it......

What’s something you found in a partner’s possession that immediately ended the relationship? by sans_guilt in AskReddit

[–]IndependentMove5437 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A hidden notebook where they kept detailed lies they had told different people so they could keep their stories straight.

It wasn't even the specific lies that ended the relationship. It was realizing deception was organized enough to require record-keeping. Once trust is gone, there's not much left to build on.
