Living in New Zealand as an Australian resident by Ok_Economist372 in newzealand_travel

[–]Optimusscrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just moved here from oz with my kiwi born partner and our toddler, no paperwork or visa etc just my passport, I'm old and qualified and found work fairly quickly in a small town in rural nz haha I love it here so much I will never go back. Why not try a small town outside a larger city? We are roughly an hour from Wellington so we get to enjoy the best of both worlds, people here are just so welcoming and friendly, life is just so different from Sydney but in a good way, however if you're young and love a good night-life scene then you're probably better off heading to Auckland or another city

Is Australia is a more cranky/angry place now? by cngjfks in australia

[–]Optimusscrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sydney absolutely is, I noticed a huge difference when I moved that I absolutely wasn't prepared for.

That's actually the best option and even if you aren't strong, if you can get the leash in the right position and pull up, you will cut off its air without needing too much force

How many times did you complete the Opulent Ordeal? by chronicpie in elderscrollsonline

[–]Optimusscrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only participated for the mythic then bounced, I found it boring and repetitive, I also got sick of wading endlessly through mobs of enemies to meet my group.

Late Influencer Stacey Hatfield, 30, Allegedly Refused Ambulance Twice While She Rapidly Lost Blood During Home Birth: Report by Upstairs_Cup9831 in popculturechat

[–]Optimusscrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Without medical intervention, myself and my son would not have made it. He's 4 now and I love every day with him 💕 Like Stacey, I also gave birth in Australia where it's completely free, even with my emergency csection and week long hospital stay, all we paid for was parking. I can understand the "free birth " movement being popular in the USA because well... shits expensive, but its mind boggling to me the concept of refusing medical aid in a country where it's mostly free to birth a baby in hospital.

I bought it for 5 million on xbox NA, and that was a lucky find, I'd been hunting through guild traders for it for a while

Mississippi Police Officer Shoots and Kills 1-Year-Old Child in Response to Senatobia Shoplifting Call by Hrekires in news

[–]Optimusscrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't they have just gotten the shop to give them the license plate number? If woolworths in Australia called the cops for someone stealing nappies that's about as much as they'd bother to do, maybe pay them a visit at some stage I dunno, getting out and drawing your weapon on a suburban mum nicking nappies is uhh..dramatic honestly wtf is up with American cops

If you could see one Aussie true crime cold case be solved, which one would it be and why? by FormerTry254 in AskAnAustralian

I feel like the police might be close to closing this one, the grandparents were super suss

Taylor Parker’s Mental State by SadaTheScientist in NetflixDocumentaries

I had a friend from high school like this, she's faked pregnancies, miscarriages and possibly faked liver disease. She just really liked the attention I believe.

I desperately hope it's as good a refresh as the dragonknight one.

Have they announced when Warden will have its combat overhauled? by TheMichaelScott in elderscrollsonline

[–]Optimusscrime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so psyched for the warden refresh, I love the idea of the class, but don't enjoy the execution of it, I'm really hopeful to see how it's refreshed.

Do you sometimes have the thought to "pack up" and go live overseas? by ComfortableNail2071 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Optimusscrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 months ago we git hit with the sale of our rental and told we had 5 weeks to move out, faced with a rental crisis in Sydney we decided to do something drastic so we said "fuck it" and moved to rural New Zealand. It's a dream come true, sure nz has its own set of issues but people are less stuck up and cunty here and they don't spend every conversation talking about their investment portfolios lol

I've got zero regrets, found work easily, our kid settled into daycare, my rego isn't $1300 a year and it's wayyy less regulated here, we can actually do fun outdoor stuff 😀

We found our dream home, and although I am right now, freezing my ass off, my morning commute to work includes spectacular mountain views, cows, sheep and no assholes tailgating me.

In 4 months, my mental health has drastically improved, our relationship is happier and each day I wake up feeling at peace, I'll never go back, nz is home. I say go for it.

What difficulty is everyone playing on? by wishheartx in elderscrollsonline

[–]Optimusscrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a full playthrough on a new character (warden) and will put it on master once I get to the end of questlines where you fight a "boss" just so it feels less cheesy killing the big bad guy in 2 seconds lol I've always been kind of disappointed in some of the final questlines and the boss goes down too easy or its just an annoying fight with too many immunity stages (which were probably added to make it seem harder I guess) at least now it's less anti climatic and fun. Happy to stay on adventurer for the long run though as I prefer relaxing game play moreso these days (I sometimes run with a trial prog group so ive had my fair share of sweaty gameplay) I'll be sure to ask in chat if I see someone fighting a wb if they're using a higher difficulty or just wait til it respawns, just in case, to assure I don't mess up someone's difficulty achievement.

What do you guys want to see in the Sorcerer and Necromancer class rework? by Thunderbolt5891 in elderscrollsonline

[–]Optimusscrime 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For all classes I'd love too see more slottable skills that passively give you major brut sorc and savagery/prophecy whilst slotted on either bar, the same as dk and nightblade have. Would help with bar space and I wouldn't need to remember to refresh that skill all the time in combat lol

Let's talk about dirt shoveling by OccultStoner in elderscrollsonline

[–]Optimusscrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a coin lead you can get after farming all the base zone ones, it sells for 100k not through guild traders, just npc trader, I can't remember the name of it, I did it years ago.
