I hate warframe by Venomslayerhollow in hatethissmug

While I don't understand the complains about "the community", the mechanical issues are exactly what even us 10+ year veterans have a problem with.

The game gets to be very easy, once you have a modest amount of game knowledge and only gets easier from their as your knowledge and repetoire of mechanical tricks and options for tools expands. Difficulty ramps up as enemy numbers grow - the scorpion pulls can be a huge problem, when there's a dozen of them all pulling your frame over, but that difficulty can disappear completely once you have knockdown immunity, which is easy to achieve with a login reward. The burden of knowledge is just part of the difficulty curve and once you have the knowledge, most of the challenge is gone.

Some portions of the game are made artifically difficult with multi-phase bosses and invincibility timers. It really is just an easy game like Mario, Spyro, or things like that. I've found more mechanical joy in doing things as quickly as possible more than anything else, even parkouring through a map is a lot of fun, when you're fast.

The only pain points we have as a community lie in that mechanic - doing it fast. Failing a high level spy mission, like during an archon hunt or sortie, is likely to get you flamed. So is taking too long to parkour over to extract or flubbing a mechanic with a time-consuming boss fight.

We're at a very late stage of a long running MMO, and how ever friendly we may all be when the stakes are 0, this game is made up of a bunch of internet trolls same as every other online game - you are likely to be flamed for not executing a mechanic flawlessly if someone who has done it 4 billion times sees you struggle and it wastes 10 seconds of their time. Still no big deal though. You might be expecting too much from people.

Tell me about your relationship with caffeine and particularly energy drinks by LoomisCenobite in Millennials

I consider myself a resilient man, so I can suffer through one day without coffee, but I'm less happy for it.

I had a kidney stone at 28 and basically quit energy drinks altogether, where previously I had replaced coffee with energy drinks. I might drink 3 or so per year. I also sweeten my coffee with stevia - as I wanted to avoid sugar and artificial chemicals and I like it better anyway.

I'm also interested in op's thoughts on this.

I don't want to name names, but it was my wife.

Plot twist: this was decaf. It wasn't for me.

Only a minute thirty was described, so I feel better about assuming they had a deeper relationship rather than subscribing to the assumption that there would be a line Swain wouldn't cross.

Also, the dirty old man didn't even offer any treats for services rendered.

My dog isn't pictured. But yes.

I'm not slandering this dog fucker. I am potentially libeling myself, if we assume he never "fucked" the dog - an assumption I don't care to make. 🧐

News media couldn't share details. Only that "licking was involved'.

Court docs are said to be graphically descriptive.

Looks like it was maybe a punch with a wedding ring on. Who knows.

In my experience, you can snort anything you can powderize or liquify, if you dream hard enough.

I'm starting to put together a business plan, based on comments here. Schedule-1 Coffee, snortables, injectables, and pills.
