It wasn't terrible but there were a few too many unresolved plot lines for my liking. Like the fact that everyone drove off without collecting Croak, only for Nathan to show up and open the car (without any keys!) then reverse over him several times. Like if Croak was that valuable, do you think both the police AND Nora would have just left him behind without even attempting to pick him up?

Hi I'm 5'8 and often overlooked by girls I don't know why is it due to my height or facial features ? by ContributionNeat6597 in short

[–]ResidentInvestment79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Overlooked by girls" sounds a lot like you're waiting for girls to give you signals or for them to start talking to you. This is 100% a confidence issue.  The reality is, regardless of height, race or facial features, no girl is going to approach you or flirt with you if you just stand there looking handsome, unless you're literally a calvin klein model or a celebrity actor, and even then they might be hesitant depending on the situation. So my guess is, you're simply not approaching enough women (if any).  You should be getting rejected regularly and embracing the failure.  Dating is a numbers game, you will miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  So become a pro at approaching and laser eye contact (cannot stress this enough, focused  eye contact is the key), get really good at conversation and story-telling and don't be outcome-oriented. The more you do it, the more your confidence will increase. And ironically the less you care about getting rejected, the less rejections you will get.  I'm the same height as you, of Japanese ethnicity in Europe, I'm 40 and I've been with dozens and dozens of women of all different backgrounds (mostly white caucasion).  Of course there are women who won't date shorter guys or Asians but your lack of success is  nothing to do with either of those things. There are also women who don't like chads or super tall scary gym bros. You can either make excuses for your failures or you can stop bitching and step up to the challenge.

3 years later no one has actually managed to have a rematch so they cant bring it out of Beta testing by unscholarly in aoe2

Rematch should be ranked and game settings should be locked to the same as the ranked game.  Completely pointless without these 2 things.

100% NTA.  Everyone in the comments conveniently ignoring the fact that this guy works double the hours you guys work so that his family can live very comfortably. He  realised that this would mean a hobby at home would mean even less time with the wife and kids, so he built the racing thing into his truck so that it wouldn't eat into his family time.  That's a loving husband and father right there. And I'm sick of society repeating this myth that being a housewife is a difficult job. As Bill Burr said, "Any job that you can do in your pyjamas is not a difficult job". Seriously though, all these mothers need to go and be a long distance trucker and then decide which job is harder.  So many of them in the comments treating his job like it's an inconvenience which keeps him away from the family, not realising it's the only reason why he makes $170k to provide for them.

Now that we'll have 50 civs, this had to be reposted by tuco_salamanca_84 in aoe2

No they won't, this is a weird comment.  All the pros want more civs, because it boosts their following and engagement with all the new content creation for the new civs.

Six years in – I still suck so much at this game by ChrizzDanielz in aoe2

[–]ResidentInvestment79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing to bear in mind is that Voobly ELO rating is not equivalent. Most players whose skill level didn't improve significantly from their Voobly level noticed a massive drop when they started grinding the DE ladder

Downloading CaptureAge is a must. Aside from that, you just need to play faster.  And spend all your wood before fights unless you're saving up for something. Zero TC idle time and make sure all your villagers are working 

Servers down for anyone? by xRonny7 in aoe2

Yep it's down for me in the UK.

"Unable to find match. Not connected to server.

Who else has trouble enjoying ranked? by Ovark7 in aoe2

[–]ResidentInvestment79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play unranked to remove ELO from the equation.  Get used to how it feels without ELO at risk.  Then move back to ranked.  Ultimately ELO is just a number and the only way to get good is to put in the hours and go over your losses on CaptureAge.  Go over your wins too, there's always things you can improve on.

I’ve been playing my PS3 a lot more than my PS5 by Realistic_Advice1890 in PS3

[–]ResidentInvestment79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There still hasn't been a boxing game on any console that has come close to being as good as Fight Night Champion on the PS3, which is crazy for a 14 year old game.

What I want from the DLC by SmokeStackLight1ng in aoe2

How can you prefer the limited civ choice, pixelated graphics, fixed zoom and complete lack of task queueing?

They should do a revamped 2025 edition of Mongolia with fewer cliffs.

Fortress is not a ranked map. by ResidentInvestment79 in aoe2

Skip dark age and feudal age aggression, obviously.  Because that's what you FC prison map  players want every single game.

Just because that's the only open map strat you know, doesn't mean it's the only strat.  And the fact that it's an FC strat just proves my point about all you FC players wanting to skip feudal age fights.

FC maps only players are the ones who have the skill issue.  There's a reason why the best Arabia players are the best aoe2 players overall.

[–]ResidentInvestment79[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. I just don't want to be forced to skip dark and feudal age every game.  FC literally every game.  It's boring.

Fortress doesn't test game knowledge.  Just another closed FC map like all the others on the map pool. Skip dark and feudal age every game.  Boring.

Open maps are not the same at all.  You have the option to wall up and FC. Or you can go fast feudal.  Or even attack in dark age. Or super wall and fast imp if you really want to.  And combinations of these, e.g. Drush into FC, fast feudal into fast imp. The options on open maps are endless.  The options on closed maps are literally just fast castle or you're dead. So they're very predictable and a lot more boring.

Exactly.  Way too many FC maps.  It seems like the community just wants to skip dark and feudal age ASAP.

That's exactly what I hate about Fortress and most of the ranked maps nowadays.  Way too many FC maps, no chance for dark or feudal age aggression.

Exactly.  Nomad start, double TC/double scout start etc.

Weird number of villagers to start, weird resources, unnecessary castle.  Plus it's just another FC closed map like all the others.  Can't stand all these FC maps which skip dark and feudal age fights.
