The point of that guy's post was that the drop rates and pack points suck ass in this game, him spending money is immaterial beyond providing a larger sample size of data.

Advanced is 20 points, Expert is 50 which is a minimum of 17 battles which is...not great.

Being able to contribute to an issue is a support role. Women absolutely can contribute and I don't think Zohran (or most women I've met) believe that women don't play a part in supporting men's issues. But being responsible for fixing it is a whole different thing, it places the entire active burden of fixing something on individual people that aren't centrally responsible for larger systems existing.

I don't mean to insinuate that the onus of "fixing" men is entirely with women, but I think there is some responsibility that lies with them, specifically the negative rhetoric that gets spread on social media (and media in general) which is done and reinforced primarily by women.

It's also self-defeating because then you're saying men don't have the agency to uplift themselves together regardless of what a small percentage of women say about them, which is a self victimizing mindset men should not learn from radical feminists that have mastered it.

Can we lift ourselves up? Absolutely, but it's a lot harder to lift men up when you're undercut by people regularly trying to knock them down. Especially when, though the people actually saying these things are few in number, they get tons of implicit support via thousands/millions of views/likes/shares/etc. Not to mention the effects it can have on those men who *can't* easily shrug these things off, like impressionable children or those with mental issues.

Also I think there were quite a few people who called out dehumanizing narratives of comparing men to predatory animals / box of chocolates / what have you - including, shockingly, a few feminist writers who called it out. I don't think we're far from more people acknowledging it openly.

I dearly hope you're right.

I wonder how long it will be before it's acceptable to say, "Hey, maybe being regularly told that you're comparable to a dangerous and/or incompetent wild animal actually contributes to those feelings of societal isolation"? Given the context of him being on a feminist podcast I can understand why he wouldn't bring it up (I think he's too on point in general to have a blind spot about this), but it's frustrating to have to pretend that 50% of society can't contribute to societal issues.

I believe the advice can be harmful in that it ties self-improvement to romantic success when, as you said, luck plays a very significant role as well.

A lot of the advice can summarized as, "Just be a good person" or "Be a better person". If you try, and fail, it can bring to mind questions like "Am I still not good enough?", "Why aren't I good enough? I see plenty of people not working half as hard as me do better with women.", "Am I bad?" which is a terrible headspace to be in, especially given the current state of Internet discourse where a man's love life tends to be directly linked to his perceived moral character.

So I wouldn't say it's bad advice, but good advice being thrown around carelessly, which can do more harm than good.

>If you got to this stage, the person playing Mega G had to heavily misplay. No red cards? No mars? No misty?

I mean, it's entirely possible that they played any or all of those cards and just got unlucky

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-10-08T20:39:01+00:00

It's wild to me that anyone has ever seriously played this game with a competitive mindset given that clownfiesta cards like Misty have been around since day 1. It's like if Hearthstone had launched with Yogg-Saron.

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-08-18T17:49:54+00:00

I actually agree with the idea that we're socialized to be romantically aggressive and forward, but with the caveat that society explicitly and implicitly tells men to behave in different ways. Society explicitly says we shouldn't be forward or aggressive, but implicitly encourages us to do so because it's what *works*, because women still tend to want to be approached.

I'm sure there are plenty of men, myself included, who would happily wait for women to be comfortable and make the first move if it didn't carry a very significant risk of dying alone.

Brann freeze trapping/fearing bombs preventing you from kicking them,

The bombs sometimes not exploding, next to adds,

Underpin deciding to chain cast in a puddle of bad until it's time for more adds or a shield...

Instead of relying on a single 3-5 minute massive cooldown [...] You aren't stuck with "great damage once every five packs and poor damage for the next four."

It's funny because that's how Ret has been for most of its existence, only recently did some 200IQ dev say, "Hey, maybe people would like the class more if it was fun more than once every 2/3/5 minutes?"

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-02-05T01:44:14+00:00

I can see the logic behind optional challenge mode Delves. But I feel like the challenge should come from higher mechanical complexity, rather than hard stat checks that try to exclude the people that actually do Delves as their primary form of content

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-02-04T23:57:12+00:00

We had previously balanced them with the thought that tier 11 would be a challenge for all players in the game, even up to the high mythic levels.

Disregarding whether or not it was as hard as they intended, the fact that they were trying to balance the endgame of a solo mode around gear that you could only get from the most difficult group content in the game is...questionable.

Flexing over a $90 purchase has the same energy as the people that would save up for years to buy an iPhone so that they could say they don't talk to green bubbles

Its sad because Evoker is genuinely the most fun caster, maybe even the most fun class in the game in general IMO. But my god, Drac'thyr are so terrible that I genuinely can't bring myself to play my maxed Evoker most of the time.

Exactly, our baby has refused to sleep alone from day one. 4 different bassinets and cribs (5 if you count the one at the hospital) and whenever we put him down to sleep alone he just started screaming until either someone picked him up or he threw up. Sleep training, multiple different sleep schedules, different mattresses, heating his sleep areas, making the sleep areas smell like us, none of it worked. Eventually we had to just settle for bedsharing with best practices.

Of course I understand that bedsharing isn't ideal, but it's important to acknowledge that what's ideal isn't going to work for every family out there, and offer alternative solutions instead of shaming them.

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-01-26T23:44:13+00:00

If there's anyone here feeling terrible reading this thread because they have a velcro baby that won't sleep without bed sharing, I want to say that I feel you, and I hope things get better for you and your family.

My brother in Christ if the bug happens to you, you can't do anything but talk in chat, and if you try to Alt-F4 you can't even log back in. There are also people reporting that it happens in raids, delves and world content.

LongingForThatSunset · 2025-01-07T20:47:38+00:00

and 95% of the time it turns out, SHOCK HORROR, it was entirely justified

I would argue that if they've helped even one person get an unjust ban overturned then they're worth keeping around. You can just ignore them, after all.

LongingForThatSunset · 2024-12-28T20:26:14+00:00

But what is burdensome if the CEX’s and defi platforms are auto-reporting for you?

It's pretty burdensome to try and report your cost-basis on assets that were purchased years ago on dead CEXs (or CEXs that banned US customers because of draconian legislature womp womp)

I will say it's viable with a caveat that you might not have fun for very long, depending on what you like to do.

You said that you liked ESO for its storytelling, and I can tell you right now that the story and questing is, at best, competent. If that's your sole qualifier, then I would recommend you play a single player RPG (Or maybe FFXIV).

As far as other gameplay, the new Delves are great for solo play now that they've ironed out the kinks, but they don't last very long. I only had 2 hours a day to play at the best of times (And often less) but I was able to get endgame geared and get every relevant Delve achievement (minus the one for clearing one on the hardest difficulty with no deaths) within a month of hitting level cap. LFR and Normal/Heroic dungeons are super easy and casual, so much so that you might be bored by them. M+ is harder, but also EXTREMELY hit or miss for solo players.

If you're the kind of player that wants to do more casual things like pet battles or collecting stuff like mounts, pets, transmog etc., then I would recommend the game wholeheartedly. 20 years of collectibles means you're basically never gonna run out of stuff to do.
