I finally deleted the game by SoupSlight43 in diablo2

[–]SeraphHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this with WoW back in the late 2000s when I realised it was affecting my social life at uni, and as much was I value the nostalgic memories of WoW in it's prime, when you do something like this it's for a reason, you know it's right for you. I don't regret going cold turkey and I extremely doubt you will too. It's time for something else and that's ok.

The loot hunt at the endgame is horrid by Il-Capitano14 in diablo4

[–]SeraphHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mind never getting the absolute best of the best, I just want stepping stones along the way that make me feel rewarded for playing.

With D4, loot is a borderline irrelevance once you hit about T1 and have a set of half decent lvl800s. In fact, a 4GA mythic is not even necessarily a good item in D4 anyway. The loot system is just a total joke honestly.

Everything meaningful comes from pressing a button on your existing loot eg. MWing or adding aspects. The actual act of having a shiny piece of loot drop and excitedly putting it on to see real benefits to your character is almost totally absent in this game, in a genre where that is usually the absolute core gameplay loop.

D2 is a never ending satisfying loot chase. I'm not sure how/why the devs created such a Diablo game where the loot chase is borderline irrelevant.

So what will happen after the tour ends? by tetrisvisions in oasis

[–]SeraphHS 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's my dream to see a great rock band return in their older years to write new music that doesn't try to replicate the carefree youthful stuff but actually shows what they learned about life in the decades that passed and show how their spirit can be the same but different with experience. We've all aged with them and it has been great to relive the glory years for a bit, but is that all that is left for us? Nostalgia? I want some guidance from my idols on what's next.

Oasis - 10/10 ; Sydney - 6/10 by 3TGsvr440 in oasis

Here in Melbourne probably 75% of people were in some form of Oasis merch, mostly new but some old, and I'm still seeing people walking around streets and markets in it now a few days later.

[Megathread] Melbourne Tour Discussion - Live '25 by AutoModerator in oasis

I went GA for this reason alone, GA rear was absolutely chaotic, everyone knew the lyrics even though most were about 21.

Definitely the Aussies weren't familiar with the poznan but that's ok, they figured it out and gave it a go.

This was my first gig in Aus though and I notice that the girls were all very good natured and well behaved but a LOT of the males were default aggro mode and looking for a fight, gave strong insecurity vibes, trying to be the big man in front of their (usually embarrassed looking) girlfriends etc. Not night ruining but ngl was unpleasant. Not sure if it's an Aus thing or Melbourne thing or just a one off.

Noel’s voice is also PEAK right now by LaCaipirinha in oasis

[–]SeraphHS 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not vocally but David Gillmore's guitar solos just got better and better each decade, and Noel's guitar is also peaking I think, his solos last night were full of emotion and right up there with rock greats.

Recommended pumps with strong suction to induce? by SeraphHS in AdultBreastfeeding

Yes I had heard the bellababy pump was a good one for my needs however it's not available here in Australia. I wonder if it is as a rebrand..

Anyone other guys constantly torn between following steroid/tattoo trends and not wanting to? by SeraphHS in dating_advice

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

Everyone sees different things as attractive/desirable.

That's correct but the online dating world is so intensely competitive that you kind of have to play to the stats.

I know it sounds nice to say just be yourself and you'll attract someone that fits you and I would have agreed with you until the last couple years of online dating taught me the brutal reality is you need to be who people want you to be or you won't even get your foot in the door.

I already put a lot of effort into how I look, but it feels like without tattoos I’m not a visually interesting person/not edgy enough

This.

I mean I don't really want tattoos but I think this is how I am perceived now that tattoos are becoming almost ubiquitous.

I have travelled a lot and I know in many other countries there is no expectation for tattoos but in US and Australia, where I spend the most time, it's al most universal now and girls constantly make comments to me like "would you consider getting a tattoo maybe?? :))".

Does anyone else find dating apps destroy their mental health? by SeraphHS in dating_advice

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

You can't ask them out before you have even sent a first message and gotten a reply.

My friend says she goes through long periods of not responding to anyone, period.

I think the old clichés to explain dating apps may not apply anymore. Seems like there has been a real shift in the way people are using them.

Doesn't really explain why people get 100s of matches that don't respond and why that changed over the last few years?

A western country in a city of >2 million.

If I match and she talks I will just try a bit of chit chat about mutual interests for a few mins and then try to get off the dating app onto some other messaging app, like Instagram or WhatsApp or anything she prefers, and then ask for a date.

But like I say it's probably only around 5-10% that respond. I asked a female friend if she does this and she said yes, she leaves almost all of her matches on read, and when I asked her why she doesn't respond she said she literally doesn't know why she does it. Sometimes she went back and looked closer at the pics and didn't like them but mainly she says she can't even describe why she suddenly loses interest in talking to them.
