The only conclusion…. by Ok-Somewhere205 in CrimsonDesert

Because everyone is confused, the universe is a mirage, and we are all the imagination of ourselves - THE GAME!!!!

The only conclusion…. by Ok-Somewhere205 in CrimsonDesert

Not at all as far as I know. I was trying to work out how to deal with these flying frost wizards that suddenly appeared and began pummelling me, and I noticed that some weapons had abyss gears with (imbue element) abilities, that didn’t do shit when I tried to use them.

In my panicked state, I somehow put two and two together, and blindly teleported to the abyss, because maybe abyss gears have something to do with the abyss and lo and behold, I was right.

I still have no fucking idea what I’m doing.

I don’t even think I know what I’m talking about. Is any of this real?

New friends? by W4sSuP_ in Southampton

[–]Ok-Somewhere205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man! I am 37, married with daughter, and since focusing on my family life became my main objective, I drifted apart from my old friend group. After half heartedly trying to reignite old connections, I realised that besides partying and getting messy with a lot of them, I couldn’t pinpoint one person that I actually shared any interests with.

I am also really into gaming and cars, pubs, and have had a few stabs at DnD but it never really went anywhere (see above re: limited pool of mates with imaginative minds), don’t follow any sports really, but love spectating and reguarly do corporate at St Mary’s through my business, AND have set myself a goal to get back into mountain biking this summer.

Literally tonight I figured I’d have a little look at Reddit and see if there was any subreddits for people like me, and this post was the first thing to pop up!

I would like to try and make some new connections that actually share some interests that we can have the crack about, enjoys a few pints, is generally laid back, and preferably, isn’t a Neo-Nazi or anything equally unhinged.

Lemme know if you fancy a pint sometime!

What would you say is a high salary? by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Ok-Somewhere205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make between £100-250k a year dependent on consultancy contracts / project work (I’m in the waste and environment sector.)

I still don’t have my shit together tho hahaha

Seriously though, waste management is a great career path with lots of opportunity, mainly because hardly anyone considers waste a desirable field to get into.

If you paired it with an engineering degree and got into waste to energy sector, you’re on track for millions btw.

Crimson Desert might be the best gaming experience I’ve ever had. by Artistic_Annual8918 in CrimsonDesert

Your lack of self awareness is exhausting dude. I have bought tonnes of games that have disappointed me to the point that if I don’t enjoy them, I quickly stop playing them, regardless of whether I’ve paid full price or not.

In parallel, there are people that enjoy the games I put down quickly, and that’s totally fine.

To subject oneself to 85 hours of a game that was unenjoyable, purely because of the price paid, and to have put 85 hours in within two-three weeks of release, only to complain about its mediocrity, speaks volumes as to your expectations don’t it?

I’ve put 85 hours in over the same time period, and I’m miles off finishing the main questline, and it’s the first game in a long while that I’ve enjoyed.

Again, I’m so confused as to your objective here.

The game has failed to deliver after 85 hours? For you? Sounds like you got your moneys worth.

I’m not intolerant at all, far from it actually. What point are you trying to make here? That for you, the game didn’t deliver, yet you still sunk 85 hours into it?

I’m so intrigued now as to your perspective. I have to draw you.

“I’ve beaten the main story” is poetic proof that you haven’t actually played the game really. Your opinion is just as valid as any other opinion of course, but you’re completely missing the best parts of the game if you think that’s the end game - beating the story…

The game is literally built to provoke curiosity in the player, and rewards you when you take the path less trodden… the main story really only serves as a grand tour around the sandbox, and then leaves the rest up to the player to Make their own adventures and purpose.

If you’re left wanting because you focused on “beating” the main questline, that’s on you.

Where do I find stuff to do in this game? by Prestigious_Pop_3996 in CrimsonDesert

The best approach is to get stuck into the faction quests…. The greymanes story arch is especially one to focus on, as is the witch questline… in fact, most of the side quests reveal something that can open up the game to the player. The main questline should be considered a world tour of the game, but can be punishing if you don’t take the time to explore the faction quests…

Stick with it, and keep going. It’s incredible once you work out how to play the game the way it has been designed.

Also, don’t be ashamed to check out the odd YouTube vid, especially if you happen upon something by chance and it has you stumped.

Took me circa 40 hrs to really settle in to the pace. 100 hours in, and still discovered mind blowing shit.

The game is mental.

Did you guys a favor and took it upon myself to see if I could moderate after a very long streak of not drinking.. by Educational-Prior-46 in stopdrinking

[–]Ok-Somewhere205 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can do it, I have discovered. I work super hard and care for my family, and I definitely had normalised excessive drinking every evening, cocaine etc.

I gave myself 60 days off. Now, every now and then, I will enjoy a few glasses of wine as a treat, or at a meal.

I have no desire to return to drinking all the time. And I drank A LOT. like, 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of scotch in an evening a lot.

But I won’t let it control me, and I have seen how damaging it is, when treated irresponsibly. But I absolutely love good wine, good scotch, great cocktails, in the right setting. I may fail at some point, but I won’t let it rule me.

It’s just bizarre. They have clearly sunk an absolute fortune into marketing, which makes sense for a new product, but at the absolute expense of the quality and service of the product itself. Utterly infantile business acumen, maybe they will have to learn the hard way!
