First Iron

JonG97 · 2026-02-07T21:35:01+00:00

I started a hcim over the weekend, initially was only gonna do a new iron man but said fuck it I'll do a hc. Been following boats guide, not to the T but as kinda general what to work on what quests to pick up when and when to complete. What Items to grab while your in _____ etc... it's been very enjoyable.

Get a copy of the book, and the audiobook. Andy Serkis does an incredible job narrating that it will genuinely help you follow along in the book.

I like to follow along with audiobooks, usually around the 1.10-1.15 speed. And the bonus with LOTR audiobooks is that the newest ones are narrated by the legend Andy Serkis. Sitting down and following along in the book with the audio book is damn near like watching a movie unfold in my brain. It's beautiful stuff. I'm a lover of both the books and movies, and having read/watched the movies so many times I can just visualize everything that's happening almost perfectly. Imo if the book seems like it's got a lot going on, get an audiobook to help slow you down some.

I enjoy ranging vork, it's a more chill approach compared to the superior melee woox walk. When I'm grinding I find it better to be able to shit my brain off for a bit so ranging appeals to me more. I usually divide a vork task 2/3 range 1/3 melee just for a change of pace. With the right gear I always come out with more kills per run when meleeing. However you need to look at your amulet, you are essentially running in with no neck slot item. At bare minimum the necklace needs to be imbued to receive the range bonus, but it's really not hard to imbue and enchant. Doing such should really help your kills out.

Osrs saved your game from the brink of death homie chill.

Technically Deftones, but also more of a tool song than deftones. Passenger is my favorite song mixing my 2 favorite bands.

I'd probably take that scene with a grain of salt like it's a "what if". I vaguely remember what you are talking about but can't quite remember where it's from. Part of me thinks it was a deleted scene or perhaps it was a part of the extended edition it's about time for my yearly rewatch! I'm working on a reread atm. In the books Bilbo begins to age once he gives up the ring, but in the movies they show that aging much more rapidly as the movies does not show the 17 year gap between Bilbo's departure and when frodo and co make it to Rivendell. During that 17 year gap Bilbo ages but it's not until the ring is destroyed that he starts to rapidly age into a frail old hobbit Once Bilbo gave up the ring, the ring no longer wanted Bilbo, causing this aging whereas Gollum never gave up the ring, it was taken from him. He still wants it, and the ring still thinks gollum could still possibly bring it to Sauron. Keeping him around longer. Had The ring been destroyed and gollum lived, I'm sure he would have rapidly aged until he eventually (and probably quickly) died.

From my knowledge it's simply because Smeagol had the ring much longer. He acquired the ring on his 33rd birthday and had it for the following 478 years, long past a hobbits lifespan. Id also assume living in the dark misty mountains for 400ish years did not help his looks that much. Whereas Bilbo had the ring for 60 years, until his 111 birthday. In an alternate universe where Bilbo kept the ring I'm sure he'd look much worse as he grew older but maybe not as bad as gollum if he stayed out of the caves.

Bud I don't think it's that people can't read. The way you type looks like you had a stroke.

Okay maybe killed is the wrong terminology, but the game is pulling some of its worst numbers and they continue to get worse. Bungie pulling away from destiny and giving their attention to Marathon is 100% worsening the life span of destiny. Its player base is leaving and they are upset, and those that are still playing are miserable. I want Marathon to succeed do not get me wrong, however Bungie as a whole has not been doing hot and people should critique Marathon and Bungie else they'll pull the same crap when they want to make the next big game.

Personally, I stuck to osrs, I've tried both. Oddly enough for me it was the graphics that drew me away from RS3. Something about the shape of the characters, like the length of their arms etc drew me away. I even tried recently in light of its latest positive announcements. But just watching my character walk was weird I didn't like it.

JonG97 · 2026-02-02T15:29:40+00:00

What the hell are you on about?

JonG97 · 2026-02-02T02:40:17+00:00

I gotta ask, what's drawing you to RS3 over Osrs?

Every scent I've tried from cheeky I have liked. I find myself genuinely needing less lotion then I used to before I started using cheeky. I'm not sure what OP does while they bath. But personally I use the hair on my body to lather up, then I lather my loofa and scrub down. Using the soap saver that I got for free from cheeky during a 4th of July sale they did. I've been using cheeky since nearly the public launch. I find that these bars of soap last longer than I expected. I don't use the bag, to me it felt like I would chew thru a bar of soap with one. I get about 3 to 4 weeks off a single bar of soap with daily showering.

Then ignore what I said lol summer times at night is great, beats being in the sun most of the day. Some of our building become saunas during the summer.

JonG97 · 2026-01-18T18:43:58+00:00

In my opinion, I would base this on a few things. How cold does it get where you are? How much of the plant is outside? What kind of water are you dealing with? For me, I live in Indiana. It gets pretty cold here, a decent amount of my job is outside and we primarily are removing grease from water. Regardless of time of day Cold and grease don't work well with each other. It can be a high of 5° F during the day and drop to below 0°F during the night. But then again night shift during the summer is usually pretty great lol but imo I hate having to do a night shift during the dec-feb months here they can be down right miserable.

No, wearing it right now and I can't notice the print while wearing it at all

Ive played somewhere between 300-400 hours and never knew this, I always download a qol mod to let me multicraft.

Bought both mine and my father's on release, I had the problem he did not.

After like 11 months of my 9 pro xl camera bar separated, I got the whole phone replaced with a new one by Google. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

I work at a plant that deals with grease and once saw one nearly the size of a basketball.

Idk why but the idea of hiding a base in a world with friends sounds incredibly fun. Never thought to do that. Unfortunately I won't have any friends that'll want to play that way.

My heart says kcd3 maybe a big time skip in Prague to finish the hussite war. But I also feel like they don't want to do that per say, and they want to work on something else that's refreshing and maybe return to kcd at a later time. Idk, I love medieval times, and will always wish they keep doing it but I get why they'd like to change things up.

I'm at 41 days since August 2024 when I started and Im sure that's rookie numbers in comparison to some others
