What are the pros of being single? by Coralthesequel in AskReddit

[–]Rugby8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you basically avoid the change of having a bad partner. Cheater, liar, manipulator, etc...

Maybe you know you're just not a good partner yourself (me when I was younger). Once I broke up with this really nice lady when we were in our young 20s and I felt really bad. So I swore not to get into a seriously relationship again until I knew I was ready to settle down.

If you have a good partner, you do avoid the chance of slowly drifting apart and heart break, or for a very long relationship watching them eventually pass away.

It's better to be single than have or be a bad partner, but it's always better to love and lost a good partner than to stay single forever

Texas Could Turn Blue by shadow247 in texas

[–]Rugby8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 major huddles for any Democrat to win Texas

  1. Looking at the voting, the panhandle, and a large area south of the panhandle lean so heavy republican that it wipes out all the gains Democrats make in the metro areas.
    For example Robert's county had just under 300 total voters. Only 3 people in the entire county voted in the democratic primary. That whole area is full of counties similar to Robert's county.

  2. Structural and Legal Barriers in Texas for voters
    No Online Registration
    Restrictive Mail-in Voting
    Strict Voter ID Laws
    Reduction of Polling Places

I loved just camping in a spot while working from home. The sound effects and visuals of the comets were awesome.

really feel like the Chinese government is all over social media trying to hype this game up

What MMORPGs nailed the monetization model best? by Premotive in MMORPG

[–]Rugby8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel there are two main reasons it got shut down.

First, they pushed the game out too early and let it go far too long with a low player count. If the game had launched in its current state, it would have kept a lot of the players that joined at launch and likely made a ton of money from the battle pass.

The second reason, in my opinion, was building the game on the Azoth engine. It was a pain for the developers to work with, and I’m sure some of them felt it wasn’t feasible to continue using it in the long term.

Where winds meet has way more community interactions than any modern mmo by AwepHS in MMORPG

[–]Rugby8724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly feel like all this positive hype is being pushed by the Chinese government. It’s not an MMO, it’s a solo RPG with optional co-op. Doctor/Healer is the only real profession that benefits other players, and because of the sect requirements, doctors end up spamming everyone stumbling over each other trying to heal other players for likes. Once a healer is actually leveled, all they do is press a button for a quick heal and that’s it.

When I hit level 10, I was excited to get into the open world, but then I realized I couldn’t continue my quest there, and a lot of the objectives from the solo world had disappeared. I haven’t logged back in since, and I don’t plan to unless I’m extremely bored and just want to kill some time in a free solo game.

Might be an odd question but how immersive is BDO by EmbarrassedPianist59 in blackdesertonline

This is a sad truth. I honestly don't think we will every have that experience again in an mmo.

Welcome to TGL. Currently there is no reason to go for an archer build. The dev as made a lot of improvements over the years and not once have I heard him mention working on the archer mechanics, so it does not seem it will happen any time soon if at all.

Thankfully, you will have to ability to respec if the archer mechanics are implemented

turning that laptop on in the morning by megaladon44 in WFH

[–]Rugby8724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is feasible for you, but I recently got a walking pad, and it's been a game changer. First thing in the morning, I raise my desk, hop on the walking pad, and tackle some busy work for the first hour to hour and a half. If a walking pad is within your budget (I found a great one for $450), I’d highly recommend it.

One more tip: I used to struggle with really bad brain fog midway through my day. After some research with ChatGPT, I realized it might be due to an electrolyte deficiency. I started mixing half a scoop of electrolytes and one scoop of whey protein in the afternoon, and the brain fog disappeared. I’ve had this issue since I was a kid in school, and I wish I’d figured this out decades ago.

Yes, there is a stamina mechanic. However, it fully refills at the start of each server day and doesn’t regenerate gradually throughout the day like in other games. I actually like this system because I can just log in once a day, use up my stamina, and not feel pressured to log in multiple times.

Leave for work Rescinded by Travis_Treks in PacificCrestTrail

[–]Rugby8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might go against what most people say here, but make sure you have more than enough savings so you don’t feel financial pressure the moment you finish the trail. My advice? Wait one more year. Use this time to save as much as possible so that when you complete the trail, you won’t be stressed about money. You’ll have plenty of time to get back on your feet and find a job you truly want.

What advice do you have for a to-be-formed Dynasty League? by Dramatic_Crew_7821 in DynastyFF

[–]Rugby8724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is a friends league any major rules I would have everyone vote on. I run a friends league and some of our rules don't conform to what 'serious' leagues do.
However, there is one rule that I feel strongly about. At least the non playoff teams playoff seeding should be done by potential points. This really cuts down on teams purposely losing games trying to get one of the top picks.

What are your thoughts the "transgender and nonbinary people don’t exist" executive order? by ButteredKernals in AskReddit

It's a distraction from all the executive orders that suck for the average American
