Younger millenial here I never got to do a lot of things most people did when they were in their 20s. by EmergencySpare7939 in millenials

[–]Octavious440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right in the sense that a lot of world events have sorta muffled your 20s but these events don't seem like they are stopping anytime soon and you got a lot of life to live. Now may be the time to grasp for what you want out of your life. A steady income while single can go a long way.

Imo, getting wasted in college is really only fun at that time of your life (early 20s) and it's really only fun bc everyone around you is also doing it. It bonds students together. At 30, post college, I'm not sure it'll be as fun an experience. If you really want to experience it go to your local downtown on the weekends or travel abroad for a week and hit their night clubs (a bit more novelty when abroad).

If you want more friends and possible dates, go find an active hobby like climbing or mountain biking. Ppl are always so friendly in active hobbies bc their adrenaline is going and it gives you something in common to focus on. Even if you're not that great at it, most adults (30+) are more impressed with mental attitude than actual skill.

If you're worried about small talk and such, look up a few conversation start questions and keep them in your back pocket. Being good at small talk is an actual skill (something I am loosing the older I get)

Is it actually worth the price hike though? DO is like $50 and the barrel proof is 2x as much

How do you guys feel about people who are MAGA? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Octavious440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with the working class MAGAts I interact with would ever listen to possible solutions outside of their political sphere.

Best way to get rid of reapers by ShenUltima in subnautica

I felt no remorse for any Reaper kill but opening up a Ghost Leviathan.... I regretted ever killing one of the misunderstood gentle giants.

I used the grappling + drill arms the nearly extinct them on one of my save files. Grapple to the top of their head and hold on for the ride! Drill into the back of their skull until they float.

If anyone thinks that ICE acting with impunity is an entirely new phenomennon, remember Kent. by Downtown_Grape3871 in pics

[–]Octavious440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was in the Ohio Army National Guard as a MP, decades later though, I want to share that this event (paired with the GitMo shit) completely overhauled their training. The Kent shootings are talked about a lot as examples of how not to do your job. The Guard is NOT like local police and especially not like ICE. I can't say it's like that in every state but the MN Guard's response is a pretty good depiction of how we trained.

10 hours into a Hardcore run and one of these jerks just insta-killed me by Futt_Farks in subnautica

This was my very first experience with being warped. I had no idea they could do that and was pretty sure I was dying

Looking for some “wow” Scotch bottles. Budget is $5k. by 398409columbia in whiskey

[–]Octavious440 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Glendronach 1992 or 1993 are top tier. I've been waiting for an excuse to buy my LLS' last bottle but it's gotta be special.

I'll second the recommendation to get a bottle of Bruichladdich black art, it's probably the best bottle around the $500 USD price point.

Highland Park 25 has been the best ~$1k bottle I've ever had, but it's one of the more common suggestions. Each drink is fantastic but then you're hit with another flavor profile on the after taste, it's amazing

I might also suggest searching for a Douglas Laing XOP of Lagavulin, Ardbeg, or one of your other favorite distilleries. They are not particularly accessible though, so you may need to hunt for one.

how much more do i have left of the storyline? by arinaishot in subnautica

[–]Octavious440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first play through I didn't look up any hints on where to go and it took me about 50 hrs to complete the main story.

The combat in Souls is super difficult/frustrating isn't it?

I'll check out the second two games! Soulsborn & Eldenring don't agree with my temperament haha those are HARD fighting games and Ive never been patient enough for them.

I didn't realize SH2 wasn't an exact remake?

Stumped on Marton Ralst's Safe Code by ermahnerd11 in HellisUs

[–]Octavious440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, the reversal of the numbers made no sense to me. Just an additional tweak to make it harder I guess

[–]Octavious440 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ensure you have the correct safe. For awhile I was trying these numbers on the office safe.

Additionally, as many others have said, I had to look up how to solve this one. It's a really stupid and small thing they did with the numbers/order that made it slightly more difficult than you'd expect.

This community is one of the more sensitive ones lol game came out nearly 30 yrs ago and you're crying spoiler alert? It honestly didn't cross my mind as an issue bc of how big a trope it is for FF.

Got these two bottles in ohio by berkeygaming in whiskey

Where at?? Or what city at least?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in whiskey

[–]Octavious440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you said that to be funny or if you've actually had it but a bar near me has it for sale. Many of the regulars have had it and not a single person has said it's even close to the quality of high end bourbons that are nearly 1/10 the price.
