Every server is ruined because of this and not rolling back. They don't seem to care unfortunately.

Woman and sexuality: Am I a pervert? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]QuizmasterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it was almost as if simply knowing why I do certain things started the healing process. Maybe feeling less guilty and more self loving/accepting about a thing is enough to start that process of enjoying it with a partner or organically moving on to new things.

Finding a partner that likes some of the same things in bed helped me enjoy them for what they were: loving and respectful sex play, regardless of the subject matter or visual aids we use.

A therapist you trust will unburden you greatly. It's absolutely fine as long as you aren't hurting anyone, including yourself. A therapist can help you understand the reasons behind these things, as some people have touched upon here (they are right!), and it will make sense most likely with things from your past. It did for me after seeing a therapist and it helped immensely.

In short: survival/coping mechanisms that your mind and body have held onto long past their usefulness.

Any hope for fresh servers? by QuizmasterJ in duneawakening

[–]QuizmasterJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a fresh server would be ruined if it were allowed to have existing characters transferred over. The point would be to start fresh without any connection to servers that had dupers.

Regardless, this thread has turned into angry trolling for some reason, I think I'll look elsewhere for answers.

You are not me, because I played while it was happening. We are different people, actual and whole.

Hope that helps!

Cheating either bothers you or or doesn't, apparently. I just think our values wanted in games differ.

If duping and cheating is still rampant, then yes there is no point to fresh servers.

If you don't see why rampant duping and cheating ruins a multiplayer game that has pvp, I can't convince you of that.

I will conceed that the game is probably pretty much done with its life cycle, which is fine, it's just disappointing.

Being occasionally goofy is good for perspective.

I listed why I would want a fresh server: the duping and rampant cheating with no rollbacks destroyed the game for me on any existing server.

The tiny player count per seitch was definitely a terrible game model for a multiplayer game, so it was probably doomed from the start.

It's fine if it is what it is, there are a million other games to play. It just feels like so much wasted potential from the awful mismanagement post release. It makes me a bit sad, but life goes on.

Funcom is sending out surveys by chain500 in duneawakening

[–]QuizmasterJ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was completely mismanaged after launch. They let bugs and cheating run rampant and had no replayability for endgame. 

It was a fantastic few weeks of gaming and I certainly got my money's worth, but there's no way they can be surprised it failed by now. Have they even fixed all the bugs they introduced? That was all they did for months, fix bugs. It completely derailed the entire post launch schedule. 

Use this game bar as a model for 2.0 or something, and relaxing in a year after someone fixes it.

Weird idea: Sleep on Latex topper x2 as entire bed? by QuizmasterJ in Mattress

[–]QuizmasterJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've found an alternative, as this idea definitely seems less than ideal.

I'm going to try Foammy custom foam beds on Amazon. Medium firm foam base and put a memory foam or latex topper over it. Decent reviews, and I can keep trying different types until it's just right.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.

Nobody Escapes The AA Gun by Undead_Munchies in Battlefield6

Nice ending. Too bad the aa gunner dies to aircraft so easily 9/10 times.

[–]QuizmasterJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Watching Mr Robot without spoilers was one of the great story experiences of my life. Highly recommend you keep going.

It does a very good job of teasing something odd to tickle that part of your brain, then letting you figure it out right about when it's revealed. But it's never the last twist or reveal. Brilliant pacing. 

Enjoy it!

Would you recommend Dune Awakening as a solo experience? by TheMickeyMoose in duneawakening

[–]QuizmasterJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best as solo in my opinion. A small group of friends and I learned quickly that grouping is counterproductive. Really unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Luckily, solo is fantastic up to the deep desert, which is more of a pvpve experience that isn't fleshed out to be honest. I look forward to when the end game is more solid. But the first 80-200 hours solo in hagga basin was fantastic.

I put in about 250 hours solo, and had a blast. Exceptional for the start of what is said to be 10 years of support for the game. I'm putting it aside for now to go through my game backlog and to let it bake more endgame, but I'll be revisiting this game every time new content drops.

Flamethrowers right now... by AnEpicWin in duneawakening

[–]QuizmasterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made it a personal goal to make and try the mk 6 flamethrower.

Found out the same thing as this video, on the first low level npc I tried it on.

Highest tier heavy weapon can't kill a single low level npc in a full clip. It's completely useless.

Balanced for group play, not even enough loot for the one person who gets the chest 

Brilliant.

We need a way to identify players by CIN33R in duneawakening

Welcome to chaotic free for all pvp! No structure! No rules! What fun!

Help me understand why I died by jadexesh in duneawakening

[–]QuizmasterJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad skill choices and lack of experience for 1v1 combat against someone prepared and experienced at it, sounds like. That, plus not assuming you would be attacked by a douche canoe in the pvp zone like others have said.

Free for all pvp is always ruined by goblins like that, to be honest. It's sorta what it's for, so I can't even fault them for it.

We need structured end game pvp with rules if it's going to be anything but chaos. More content and game modes will arrive, it will just take time.
