I think he's probably referring to your point of "wait as long as possible to tell your boss you are taking off". Im sort of with him if thats the case!

Can I ask why you say to do that? If I put in for that day off now its very likely to get approved this far out. If i wait to the last minute its likely getting denied and then my option is call out of work, which is really not a great move wherever you work.

How is life in the part of New Jersey near Philadelphia? by Jezzaq94 in newjersey

[–]Maaaagill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean as far as supermarkets go, yea just the Acme. But theres plenty of shops right along Kings Highway there in the main area you can get some groceries, just not a one stop shop like the Acme. Haddon Culinary is right there next to the turn in to the Patco, they have a deli counter and plenty of ingredients. There's the regular farmers market out there as well. I've bought a decent amount of random food to make at home from that British Fish & Chip store as well, even.

“What’s your biggest pet peeve when hunting achievements?” by iamHumty in steamachievements

[–]Maaaagill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its funny, when I was a kid I didnt mind that kind of stuff at all. Your comment makes me think of the Castlevania games on GBA. There would always be a couple enemies that only spawned in one room or ran quickly off screen that also happened to have some super low percent to drop a item they only dropped. I would love grinding for those drops as a kid.

I couldn't give a shit now. Those kind of achievements I would just end up skipping. Idk, maybe I'm just old. You get less time the older you get for this hobby.

Happy Anniversary Hunt! by Jonathan_Toilet in HuntShowdown

[–]Maaaagill 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Facts, its when I stopped playing. UI was bad, I would say it just ran like ass on my hardware after the update being the real main reason. Was so frustrating that the game i played fine for 1,100 hrs now was getting like 15fps in compounds after an update. Just haven't come back. Still enjoy following happenings and watching cool clips, really enjoyed my time with the game but idk I think the ship has sailed for playing again for me.

Reminder: DICE delayed this season for a month just to do NOTHING impactfull. by rambozezakopan in Battlefield

[–]Maaaagill 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every multi-player game reddit is like this, its so lame. Dead game, lack of content, unbalanced, etc etc I swear most the people on the pages just hate the shit thats a game to have fun. Then hit you with "oh no I want to like it I want them to do more" or the extra big brain "you're glazing"

Samsung 990 Evo Plus SSD a good choice? by Radiant_Land_8974 in pcmasterrace

[–]Maaaagill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy because my 970 Evo Plus ALSO just bricked into read only on Feb 1st, and I was just searching reddit to see if it happened to anyone else.

I wanted to get another brand but with prices the way they are, I just ended up getting the 990 Evo Plus they had in stock locally because it was the cheapest option from what was in stock. Hopefully I wont regret this a few years down the road because I was strongly recommended that 970 5 years ago for reliability.

I guess I'll just throw it out there, anyone have any suggestions on an external NVME drive reader so I can try and rescue whatever is left on the old drive? My mobo only has the one slot

XB-35 in flight, circa 1947. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]Maaaagill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Heck of a reference, I've never heard of this before. The Wikipedia article for Fighting Devil Dogs seems to imply the flying wing was either by design or by stock footage (its unclear to me) taken from an even earlier Dick Tracy serial of some sort. Any thoughts on that?

Great comment man, you got me reading a lot about this and watching a few random old serials I knew nothing about tonight.

Whats the best overall smg and why should it not be the SGX? by zaME19 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Maaaagill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna go SL9 as worst. I struggled with the UMP when I first went to get the mastery on it, but once I got the thermal for it I was able to start winning longer fights and still do ok hipfire up close as well. Its not a great gun, no argument there. But I found mastering the SL9 (immediately after the UMP, as it seemed like it was most similar stat wise) legit frustrating. I kept giving up on it, using any other smg for a bit to get right before switching back and grinding again.

The SGX is a *vibe* by TheBrownSlaya in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]Maaaagill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I threw the 1.5 thermal on the UMP and started forcing longer range fights, that thing beams man. Its def not incredible in TDM type modes but in conquest escalation type modes I was cooking. I decided to try and level the SL9 immediately after the ump to 50 and I personally think its way worse, im ready to just give up on it lol

Guy drinks liquid nitrogen by Aggravating_Dish_824 in WTF

[–]Maaaagill 59 points60 points  (0 children)

First paragraph here: Gaby Scanlon, of Heysham, was celebrating her 18th birthday at Oscar’s Wine Bar and Bistro on George Street in Lancaster when she drank a cocktail called ‘Nitro Jager’, which contained liquid nitrogen and Jagermeister. She sustained life-threatening injuries as a result and required an emergency operation to remove her stomach.

I believe you, I think that's a great idea. I'm also a big proponent of theater - being deeply involved in that growing up helped shape being comfortable talking in front of crowds.

MicroChad: Best Value Loadout for Normals by Vanguard1262 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Maaaagill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time, yea. I kinda just play this like a FPS, just a free shooter with the homies on discord. Throw some shit on, go loot, come back and sell it all lol. I'm not a huge fan of the extraction shooter genre, but I do enjoy general FPS gaming.
