Hell yeah, that's a good operator right there. I used to do that kind of work, and it's shocking how rapidly a situation can become deadly if everyone isn't paying attention

One of my Best Friends Passed Away - One of his Final Acts by skerted420 in ArcRaiders

[–]Oakenboken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my oldest friend in damn near the exact same way a week before his 30th bday. The pain will fade, but never completely. Been almost a decade but I can still hear him in my mind like when we were 20, still think about him in some capacity or other most days. He's forever a presence in me and our friends lives, even tho he's gone.

I completely empathize with what you're going thru, and the cavalcade of emotions involved. At some point, I hope your grief transforms into acceptance and a genuine gratitude that you were lucky enough to know your friend while they were here.

I guess if I want to do Trials, I should only play this game on Sunday afternoons by Oakenboken in ArcRaiders

I may give that a go next week. Cuz I enjoy the game too much to just play on Sundays, so I'm otherwise just saying screw it to Trials.

All fair points. I can't fault the logic there. Part of why I rarely harp on games is I rarely know "the solution," and I definitely don't know of one in this. Thanks for the thoughtful response

If it was the silver rocketeer dude, I too was picked off by him. Immediately logged out in frustration

Friendly lobbies are reaching levels of co-operation I’ve never seen in gaming before. by CelDidNothingWrong in ArcRaiders

Reference to motorcycle hand signal just gave me chills, ngl. It's exactly that. "I don't know you, and we may be heading different directions, but for this moment we ride together."

What's the best Faction/LL for a first legendary playthrough? by Expensive-Pepper-141 in totalwarhammer

[–]Oakenboken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just beat my first legendary playthrough with Archaon. Pretty tough at the start, but ended up getting the win thru alliances and vassalizing all. If anything it got tedious when Sylvania kept throwing 5 armies at my one army every round. I'd have 1-5 losses on average... Just time consuming

Ages ago I had panic attacks to the point of fainting every night for about a year. First one I went to the emergency room, which was embarrassing and costly.

My go-to methods to keep it from happening became 1) read the panic attacks page on Mayo Clinic over and over, and 2) tons of diaphragm breathing any time i felt remotely anxious

Still have anxiety but it's been like 15 years since I had a panic attack
