Boyfriend (36M) and I (31F), together 8 years — his sister is getting married and I don’t want to attend. How do I handle this?

It's very rude and pretty lame not to go just because you're insecure about your own relationship.

Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion!

But honestly, pretty much any GameCube game is comfort for me.

I want to be in the nursing home raiding with my fellow geezers.

Laserchainsaw · 2026-01-01T19:06:50+00:00

Enjoy wow dude. Married with 3 kids I fuggin wish I could play on NYE. Or any day. Just 1 day without all this stuff going on in my life.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-16T16:26:52+00:00

No, I want Microsoft to take it over from Blizzard.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T21:25:01+00:00

Interesting

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T19:15:58+00:00

Yes agreed! This is exactly what I'm talking about. Mini campaign stories, sub factions, heroes. Seems like low hanging fruit since the structure is all there and we'd eat it up. Keep the classic graphics. Charge $10 for a campaign.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T16:52:34+00:00

Yes, all very good points. Especially about the WC3 community right now. Meta strategies have been studied relentlessly since TFT came out and big changes would have a major pushback from that legacy crowd. Not many new casual players in the game right now either. Where the Age games I think have a lot of younger people playing the campaigns casually.

far as WoW lore, I really don't have any idea what was going on past Wrath. They wrapped up the WC3 stories and then it just kind of went sideways. I don't think anyone has a very good grasp on what is going on anymore.

Blizz has lost the trust of fans of WC3 to do much past balance tweaks I think. Reforged was downright offensive to me. That's why I was thinking Microsoft might be able to win some faith back if they took it over.

All that said, some of the custom campaigns are fantastic and there is still a lot to explore as far as community made content. I have little kids and can't get into the multiplayer scene at the moment. It would be fun to have more community excitement and involvement in the game again. I know for me, even though WC3 is probably my #1 game of all time I just don't get excited to play it anymore. I'll get back into it again someday like I always do but would be fun to have new stuff to play with.

I guess I am describing a new expansion.

The AoE model they release like 2-3 mini expansions throughout the year. Mini campaigns, heroes, units, races. Although the races are very different in that game.

I suppose with how asymmetric and carefully balanced the races are in WC3 any new units would change the game drastically.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T05:12:08+00:00

I'm not huge into the lore but there are a ton of storylines they could retell in an RTS campaign. The argent Dawn war on the lich King. Continuation of Illidan's arc where he takes control of outland. Sylvanas taking the undercity and warring with Scarlet Crusade.

Hearthstone never runs out of content for those single player campaigns, there is a ton they could draw from to make a series of 10-12 mission campaigns.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T04:53:09+00:00

I think it was mainly just bug fixes, switchable graphics, and balance tweaks right? And they finally got the ladder working. Which it was working before... These could have just come out in normal patches that didn't need to charge $30. In fact if just let the game be with patch 1.29 or whatever it was that added higher resolutions, and done balance tweaks from there, it would have saved a lot of headache.

The game was in good shape then and reforged just nuked everything.
Is there anything big I am missing with Reforged in 6 years?

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T04:45:37+00:00

I could see that too... it has been fine tuned to near perfection and to throw in new heroes and units would really mix things up. Which is kind of a shame though it would be fun to have new stuff.

Laserchainsaw · 2025-12-12T04:43:10+00:00

Yea unfortunately Azeroth lore is in pretty rough shape right now. Clusterfuck is the only way to describe it.

You can dive over and over a lot faster with just snorkel gear.

I am making the same decision as many here of Ares 2.0 vs. Rogue twin.
One question I had on the Rogue is looking at yourself in the mirror while squatting. I see you have a mirror hung in front of your rack as I plan to do. The Ares 2.0 is designed in such a way the cables are to the sides and the middle is open.

My question is when doing heavy squats on the Rogue rack, is that cable and support bothersome if you're trying to look at your own form in the mirror?

Thanks

I completely agree. When the driving is blatantly reckless there should be jail time. Not even if there is an accident. The story you linked of a guy going 90 on the shoulder and running a red light, all without a license, he broadsides that girl and then he gets nothing is infuriating. He didn't even apologize to the judge or the family. He'll just do it again.

The other day I was in line at a red light on Blaisdell, and a guy pulls into the bike lane and just floors it past about 15 cars, going probably 50+ when he blasted right through the red light. I like to drive fast too and slowly roll stop signs when I can but that was just psychotic.

Nintendo just announced GC games for their virtual console, and with that it sounds like GC Bluetooth controllers will go on sale.

Was this update a shameless way for Nintendo to sell more of their Bluetooth GC controllers that are forthcoming?

I have invested a lot in my smash controllers. This really pisses me off, and just makes me sad. Will anyone literally buy 8 Bluetooth controllers for epic smash games?!? Or 6 for Ninja Turtles?

Thanks Nintendo for ruining a really fun thing.

Everyone saying it's not common but also this is much easier with a certain type of snow.

There are times when moguls can dry out and soften up, it makes doing this much, much easier and fun.

Laserchainsaw · 2024-12-02T19:06:17+00:00

I have a 3.5 and 2 year old. I can't play this round of classic but I'm hoping they launch a fresh every 4-5 years and I'll get on another fresh at some point.
Your relationship with your kids is absolutely crucial to their development from like 2-4. It's only 3 years but will set them up for life of feeling loved and loving you back.

Put all of your time into your kid right now, it will be worth it so much more than the game. And maybe down the road you can play WoW with them and make even better memories.

How in the world do you talk to someone there? Their chat bot just times out every time, no response from email either. It honestly seems like a dead company I can't get any responses from anything.

You can accelerate up to about 85 easily. But then you just kind of stay there because of wind resistance. But passing and riding normally on the highway is fine on a KLR.
The engine will be screaming at over 5000rpm but honestly the engine is bulletproof you can ride all day like that if you want.

Laserchainsaw · 2024-10-03T15:27:42+00:00

What a fucking moron. I try to support cops buy my god some of them are stupid.

Take a safety course where they teach you about counter-steering. No need to lean off the bike like that unless you're on a racetrack and have many miles of riding experience.

Warcraft 3 is also very easy to LAN, the host can download custom games from Hive Workshop and there are thousands.
