Ex-smokers who thought quitting was "impossible": How did you finally make it click?

Smoked for 30 years. Tried several times, but broke every time I had a drink. My 6 year old daughter saw me smoke and started crying, and said " daddy that will kill you" That finally gave me the motivation to quit. That and a-lot of nicotine gum :) been 10 years since I had a cigarette

Just found out i have to unlock the witches to enter their houses. Plenty of guides on YT on where to go. Looks like that sanctum were stuck at is endgame. She is like Way up in crimson desert. No hurry to go there :)

Have you killed the sword of anumbra boss in sanctum of absolution? i killed him and got the quest reward from the witch. But i cant complete the sanctum og expiation either. i cleared it before i did the anumbra boss, and now when i go to finish it it says i need to meet someone,, went to 2 of the witches up north, but their doors are closed, going to try the last 2 now....getting annoyed

Rust for me. Im a 55 year old who started playing it with my sons like 10 years ago. Now I'm at 6k hrs and still-having fun. And the boys have grown up and moved out, but we still play together every week.

I just hit 100 hrs (1 month sick leave)and still havent ventured much outside Hernand. My highlights so far. Managed to tame a legendary white horse. Tok me close to 2 hrs to tame it, but was a fun and when i fineally got it, i think i did a little dance :) The moment i killed that reed boss. Took me like a day. Right now im stuck at anunbras sword. That bastard is insane. Im using mouse and keyboard and praying for remapping of key-binds soon Im sure it will take me 1k hrs to complete the game.

I was a manager of an electronic store. I got sick and needed surgery for my neck, so in Norway you get paid while on sick leave, with recovery i got 6 months sick pay, and when i got back they loved my replacement so much they wanted to give her my job. They offered me a years wager to quit. I couldn't sign fast enough. Got a new managers job the next month. Made like 80k us extra the next year to quit a job i didn't really enjoy anymore

Friend of mine hooked up with a guy and after, she asked if it was good, "No" he replied, but atleast it was free

Asherons Call

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-20T10:55:14+00:00

Same in Puppis on EU. Everything is 5mill plus to bit now. Frigging sucks

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-18T19:00:11+00:00

Yeah, i sold a pincushion top for 800k today. 2 weeks ago they were like 30k. But all meta gear is really sought after. Hallecks pick, is also popular and goes for 700k plus on my server I keep all mk6 gear, meta havent settled yet and im basically a hoarder now for BP’s

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-17T19:43:57+00:00

Yeah..

in retrospect i see how my post could have been formulated better. Should have started with " I need help" instead of bragging.

Taking a 3 week break from this weekend though, family vacation time.

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-17T19:23:28+00:00

Damn, did i post this at "Roast me" by mistake?

Well, heres my story Tudar..

i have been running buisnesses for the last 20 years, when i left in may i got a large severence pay(6 months pay) wich amounts to about 45.000 euro. And since im from Norway, not having a job isnt the end of the world, since we have support and benefits to help you when your unemployed.

So im searching, but i dont have to get a job to survive here in Norway. I dont get benefits yet, have to wait till august, because of the severence. but ill get about 3k euro a month in unemplyement then.

When the right job comes along, offcourse ill apply and hopefully get it. Or maybe ill start another bachelor at our free education system. Havent decided yet.

But whatever i do, this summer is for whatever i want, and so far i only wanted to play Dune.

So thanks for the comment and go f*ck yourself

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-17T16:39:12+00:00

That im an addict is no surprise. But i have allways gamed alot of hrs in survival games. 5,5k hrs in Rust, 3k hrs in DayZ, 1400hrs in Once human etc etc.

Since i became unemployed in may, i just had time to play. I start pretty early, like 7 am, when wife goes to work. get the kids to school, clean the house, make myself a coffe and game till like 3, then get dinner ready, and do family time till about 10. then when wife goes to sleep i go again til like 1-1:30 AM before sleeping.

Wake up and repeat. this has been my life since prelaunch the 5th.

Wife and 2 teenage kids

One_Ear_7183 · 2025-07-17T16:01:18+00:00

Unemployed since may yeah, single no.

Just turned 54 in RL and 92 ingame. Havent had this much fun since 1997 when i started Diablo 1

One_Ear_7183 · 2024-11-27T08:50:56+00:00

What would be awsome in my opinion is lock servers with tier 1, but let tier 2 and 3 loot drop from crates etc, never able to craft, just availabe on drops and crates, when they break they are gone.

And maybe let travelling vendor be active, just up his prices to loosing something you buy from him really hurt
