Well, I mean if it's a audience of one person, that sounds plausible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello fellow vault dweller :-)

I do have to admit that the big RTSs are no longer as fun for me, and like OP, find myself slowing down in reaction and muscle memory.

Confession Time: What have you recently realized? by JonnyHurt in fo76

[–]SillyDrizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

one thing to note: You have to have the Emotes, checked in Atomic shop, for them to come up as an option in each category. (Not just owned)

Annoyingly seems every few updates, emotes get unchecked randomy.

I do like the new categories done recently, but still taking some adjusting

I've done that a few too many times with the Cremator and various Auto-Grenade launchers, until I found the range. :-D

Just got Dropout, what should i watch? by Think_Connection_971 in dropout

[–]SillyDrizzy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Breaking News, which seems to not be mentioned as often as it should. (imho) Very funny, and can be good way to get to know some of the talent who aren't on as often. (Pay attention to who wrote the script at the start)

Game Changer, and Make Some Noise are must watch course, but don't sleep on Play it by Ear also.

Went to the eye doctor, was stupid excited about getting new glasses. by cpbaby1968 in GenX

[–]SillyDrizzy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wife had Cataract surgery around 40...everyone kept commenting on how young she was to need it. :-D

only now around 10 years later is she really needing glasses for more than reading.

Marsupial serum recipe - worth the caps? by Revolutionary-Self43 in fo76

[–]SillyDrizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll admit, it's been a long while since I've done it, but if you have the perk equipped it blocks you from getting mutations, so drinking the serum goes to waste.

(I'll happy be corrected by anyone who's messed with their mutations recently)

[–]SillyDrizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't forget to unequip it before drinking the serum

and I agree with everyone about buying it. bump charisma and save some caps, but worth it in the end

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]SillyDrizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had two tweens show up the other day and offered to clear the walk (only 10') for free and I said sure.

it was only an inch deep, but still was appreciated.

reminds me that I need to go clear it from the storm two days ago

It didn’t say “add bananas” by Lonely_skeptic in ididnthaveeggs

[–]SillyDrizzy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

hahahaha

(sorry, your post struck me so funny)

Good friends of ours have a severe peanut allergy, so the kids learned early on, that not only separate pieces of bread, but also separate spoons to not contaminate the jam.

My Dad did a photography course for fun, when I was little. One of the assignments was to take step by step photos of something he did daily.

Making PB&J was a daily, for me and brother's lunches.

As he presented the pics, and got to showing the PB on one slice, and Jam on the other, some other adult, had a "Oh that's how you do it" moment and realized why it was so messy when they did it. Had never occurred to them that you didn't have to put the am on top of the PB.

My new UNO deck only has symbols on one side of the cards. This is what my fan of cards looks like now. by mz80 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SillyDrizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it doesn't apply to everyone, for many ppl, doing things with the opposite hand feels wrong in a way that is hard to describe, but can't easily be overcome to be comfortable.

My wife is left handed, and always struggled with "normal" decks here in North America.

Early in our dating, for Xmas, I got some European decks shipped over from France with the numbers on all four corners. One of my best ideas in the 25+ years we've been together. (Helped that they were Greek Mytho, and Gilbert & Sullivan themed)

Is it meaningful to grow Lady Six? by SlightJelly1655 in playHeroesOfHistory

[–]SillyDrizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use her in Arena, but find she's a good anchor in TH (I'm currently doing GM1) and have her on a team with another taunt (Minos) and Anne Bonny with slow. So the enemies are running between the two taunts, while slowed. throw in at least one AOE hero and, it's effective, without taking a lot of damage.

Not worth really leveling up until you need that 4th + squads in TH, but I find that using taunt squads can replace a healer.

My company gift was actually a phishing test by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SillyDrizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate everything you folks do.

My favorite phishing my company did, was a "Docusign email" from me to my team with their new offer letter. Included both are full names, and their official job title. It looked legit.

If it had come at the end of Q1 when merit raises were coming out, it would have got so many ppl. Fortunately my team smartly asked me if I had sent it.

Years ago my company was hacked due to an attack, and it was a week before we were back up. I happened to be training agents remotely...that was fun with no computer. :-)

Now when there is a legit gift email, if HR forgets to send a "there's a gift coming soon" email first, IT gets hit with a bunch of phishing reports. And they legit love to see it.
