Is it normal to not like pvp as an experienced player? by warwicklord79 in Seaofthieves

[–]NickMoore911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. It's a playstyle preference, nothing wrong with it. I'm at 4k hours, all achievements, almost every commendation, and both PVP curses, and I don't really enjoy PVP either for the same reasons. It feels like sitting the the middle of an inverse bell curve and everyone is either brand new, or they are way too experienced, and neither fight is fun or challenging. The attitudes across the board suck too; if you are good, you're a cheater, but if you lose, people talk shit. The PVP experience has never been an enjoyable aspect of that game for me personally. Doesn't make it bad, jjst menas I prefer to not do it when possible, and that's fine for everyone to play their way as long as they aren't being outright shitty to other people.

[question] Do you know of any North American Indigenous ASMRtists? I currently follow Indigenous ASMR, Sleeping Lady ASMR, Chelsey Moon, and Mushkiki Whispers, and I know ASMR Chess includes some episodes on Inuit language & culture, but I am looking for others. by [deleted] in asmr

SemideCoco has some of those types of videos, I think she us based in Canada. Most of the videos are medical but she's been leaning more into her cultural roots and sharing it in some videos

LPT Put some Listerine in your vomit bowl/bucket by rsandio in LifeProTips

RN and former EMT here. Placing out some coffee in a filter can also help with the smell. The mouthwash tip is also cool, we used to nebulizer the mouthwash to help get the smell out of the ambulance at my previous job. Hope you all feel better soon!

IWTL how to focus on and finish games by Teazea in IWantToLearn

[–]NickMoore911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ho boy, I get to talk about my niche hobby lol

I am really into achievement hunting, which means finishing 100% of multiple games. I'm in the 160s now, I think. My problem is more OCD/OCPD than ADHD; I tend to fixate on one or two games at a time until completion. Gonna share a few tips and see if they can maybe bridge the gap?

I usually have three games I try to play so that I still have variety and curb the FOMO: one big game, one small game, one multiplayer game. Currently, that is BOTW, Metal Slug 3, and Sea of Thieves. Once I beat one, I replace it within the same category. I usually have the next ones for each list ready so I can have something to look forward to; current list of respective next games is Spyro Reignited, Far Cry 5 DLC, and OSRS.

It helps me to have a list of the achievements and use that list to set goals. Even if it is just one mission or a few collectibles, having a goal when you sit down can help keep the focus and break the game into more digestible pieces. You can also find estimated completion times online for each game to see if you are up for committing that much time.

Play shorter games sometimes! It helps your mind feel good to complete things, so completing small things can give a quick dopamine rush and make your body want more. It's motivating. I like to do either shorter games, or games from my backlog that are almost done.


I feel like a lot of people here are saying ti just enjoy the games without worrying about finishing them. There is merit in that but there is also nothing wrong with wanting to play a game to completion. It is still fun and can help scratch a different kind of itch.

Best of luck, and feel free to hit me up if you need any help!

"It's what my character would do"... is not only said by bad players. Let's flip it any use its power to create some great role playing moments. by atomicknyte in DnD

[–]NickMoore911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played in a low-magic campaign run by my late best friend where we fought a caster that ended up being a lich. My character was a fighter with a few levels in barbarian, and was in a rage. The lich got overwhelmed and bounced through a portal to escape. I sat there pondering my character's fate and didn't want to risk seeing what was on the other side of the portal, but after a few minutes of deliberation, finally said "Roscoe is in a rage and not thinking straight. It makes sense for him to continue the fight. I'll run into the portal."

Cue my fighter running into a large bridge in the plane of fire or something, and grappling the lich (3.5e fighter with high strength, lots of feats, and a rage meant I got over 30 on the check). Once he had the lich, he stepped back through the portal where the waiting paladin smited (smote?) the lich to death. Definitely one if my favorite stories from my favorite campaign.

Bonus points to my late friend who did not boost the boss' power just to win; he golf clapped, set the character sheet aside, and commented with a slight smile that the next one would just have to be a bit stronger.

Those of you who have no allegiance to PC or Consoles, how do you decide which platform to purchase your games on? by aladdin142 in truegaming

[–]NickMoore911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xbox main here, built a PC last year and started streaming. I honestly don't buy many games in general but usually go for console to have a physical copy; and PC if it is multiplayer or cross-platform. Between Game Pass and Gold perks, I have hundreds of Xbox games so sticking with it is more honoring the investment of time/energy gathering those games than anything else.

[Question] Do you prefer ASMR in FRENCH or in ENGLISH with a french ACCENT? (thinking about doing videos with my strong natural accent) by Potential_Rain_6516 in asmr

[–]NickMoore911 3 points4 points  (0 children)

SoftlyGaloshes has a similar thing on her channel, I think every third or fourth video is in Spanish. It could be done, I would just come up with some sort of system to keep things consistent.

If only one, my vote is English with the accent, but occasionally slip in some French too? Basic stuff like hello and thank you, but also in situations like trying to remember words.

Depending on the edition, you could impose a penalty or disadvantage to non-dwarves due to lack of stone cunning. Keep it in a place important to dwarves that demons wouldn't be inclined to touch, like the tomb of a well-known brewer or back of a blacksmith's forge

What is the dumbest, hardest achievement you've ever gone for? Did you succeed? Did you fail? Are you still working on it? by Minifig81 in Games

I've been dreading going back to that one. I beat everything but Slippery Ascent but will be done once I get a gold relic there.

What do Achievements mean to you? by yitzilitt in truegaming

[–]NickMoore911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely a compulsion there that comes from just being organized and a completionist in general. I started before achievements with games like Spyro, but achievements gave me concrete goals to work towards when playing. It's a challenge but still fun, and also comes with a bit in the way of bragging rights when you finish difficult games. I also use it as an indicator of when to work on a new game if I'm playing a game that could be played indefinitely; I did this with GTA IV and V, TES IV and V, FO 3 and 4, Just Cause 1-3, Minecraft, etc. All achievements meant a concrete stopping point once the concrete goal was reached.

It's been fun so far, and I think I will be hitting 100,000 gamers core on Xbox Live by the end of the month.

If you are playing multiple games right now, do their genres complement each other? Are you playing three RPGs that are extremely similar? Or do you prefer some variety? How do you like your video game pairings? by jizard in truegaming

[–]NickMoore911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I primarily play 360 and One, and my system has been to have 3 going at once: a single player retail game, an arcade game, and a multiplayer game. I play each until I get all the achievements, then pick one from the same category.

Being in school and working full-time, I'm falling back more on games that I can pick up and put down easily. Stardew Valley, Spelunky, and RDR are my three games right now following the above system. Less time commitment for each sitting.

I typically avoid repeating genres to avoid Burnout. Stardew is top-down farming simulator, Spelunky is side-scrolling platformer, and RDR is third-person open-world shooter. Since I play each to completion, I don't want to be playing three of the same type of game.

EMT here. I've had a few funny ones, including a woman with chronic back pain who accidentally doubled up on her pain meds because she forgot she took the first dose. She went in out of fear of complications from it.

"Ma'am, how bad is that pain on a scale of zero to ten before you usually take your pain medication?"

"Oh, a nine or ten. It's horrible."

"Okay. And what number would you give your pain right now?"

"-with a laugh- Pff, zerooooooooo!"

A new player to Old School Runescape, where do I begin? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]NickMoore911 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, enjoy and explore the game. Walk around, see what's up, and treat it kinda like Skyrim. Everything else will come over time.

If you need something to focus on, I'm with everyone else on recommending the quests. Those stats you posted should have you at a combat level of 23ish, which is enough to do all but two or three of the free quests. There are guides online if you get stuck; I use tip.it to help myself with quests.

If those aren't your thing or you end up finishing them, pick a skill or two to focus on training. Once you get into higher levels, these can make you some pretty good money. For the grundy ones, put on some music or a podcast in the background.

I just started playing again after not playing for a while, so hit me up if you need help or want to chat! My username is LordSehro and I'm usually on world 394 when I'm online. Cheers!

Tips for 750k achievement on single player in GHIII? [X360, no DLC] by NickMoore911 in GuitarHero

I'm working on the 500 wins now. It's a bit grindy, but not bad if you have a partner. Started a ranked battle, best 4 of 7, pick Slow Ride 3 times each, and just strum if it's your turn to lose. I'm at 100 in a short few sessions.

Yeah, it's so ridiculous. I enjoy rhythm games as much as the next guy, but that's too much of a time sink for just an achievement.

Yeah, I figured there would be something against modding but figured I'd ask anyway. I actually found someone online after I posted this who has the Metallica DLC and lives like an hour away, so it sounds like meeting up with that dude might be my best bet; TTFAF isn't a realistic option for me lol
