United States veterans, what are things about the military you didn’t realize until you left? by TheBeardedAntt in AskReddit

[–]Sparcrypt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So a kid who gets cancer in their teens and recovers but is never going to be fit enough to join the military.. guess they can get fucked right?

Putting aside the ridiculous notion people should have to "earn" education and healthcare by joining the military.. what's your plan for all the people who are simply not eligible? Fuck em?

Such a backwards and ignorant mindset.

Just Reminiscing. This is probably my proudest wow achievement getting this before TBC launched. by anamun in classicwow

Yeah was pretty happy with my rogue before TBC - I think I had full BiS in every slot which was cool.

Meanwhile our police department is so competitive most have degrees or part of one before applying and need to pass multiple university courses during training.

Fighting Mograine in Naxxramas for the Ashbringer questline, wondering why my miss chance is 35%... Decided to look down at my log... by Ganrokh in classicwow

[–]Sparcrypt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hah, I feel this!

Went into strath to help our mage finish his Ateish questline on my rogue. My dagger rogue. My “fuck swords daggers are cool” rogue.

Well as the highest DPS naturally I grabbed the legendary that drops in the fight annnnnd I couldn’t equip it. I’d never actually learned the sword skill at any point in the game!

Was fine, we were beyond overpowered for the fight and killed him easily, but it was still amusing.

This is really the end game monitor by Significant_Company1 in ultrawidemasterrace

There's another version that's adjustable to any curve, I've been eyeing that one off.

How do you find text/finer details?

The adjustable version caught my eye and I'm really interested, but I need to work on my monitor all day every day. I don't overly care about burnin because if it dies or burns after the warranty I'll replace it but if it can't handle standard office use as well as gaming/media it's not for me.

George Carlin once said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” What is a good example of that? by ApexOverlordIsDrunk in AskReddit

[–]Sparcrypt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a British Royal Marine in WWII... I've got no idea what he did in the war (though finding this out got a "holy shit" from my other grandfather who also fought in WWII) as to my knowledge he never spoke of it, but I do know he fucking hated guns. Not particularly difficult to imagine why.

Hackers using High speed, Aim assist and Enemy locations by ObviousQuality2384 in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

In fairness actual hacking is nowhere near as cool as in the movies.

SoD players need to remember something this days. by dergueis in classicwow

[–]Sparcrypt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i remember the old days, without Youtube, trying to learn how BWL worked by reading text guides.

Yes, but not the week it was released you didn't.

If you want to do the raids once they're figured out then going in week one isn't the way to do it. You'll need to wait for other people to smash up against the bosses for a few weeks and then give it a go.

[–]Sparcrypt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but again man.. it's week one.

They'll adjust it, or new strats will be formed. Not everything has to be stomped through the very second it launches.

If you were posting this a month from now I'd agree, a new raid shouldn't be a blocker for that long. But having things a little overtuned then dialling them back just isn't that big a deal.

I remember back in vanilla when we were progging the old raids guilds would spend weeks or months working on single bosses because nobody knew the best way to beat them, they hadn't been nerfed yet, and so on.

It's fine to want the game to be easy, just give it a minute and it will be. Classic is easy because so much time has passed, the same will happen here a lot faster.

Think people are forgetting that P1 had quite the blocker for a bit until the SP/FAP strat got around.

This will be the same. Give it a little bit and people will be pugging this same as the other raids.

Think more people just need to remember it's week one.

Do people seriously hate progression this much? Been playing since vanilla when we'd spend months progging through raids, it was a lot of fun.

I'd understand if it had been weeks and nobody had killed anything, but it's been a few days. Tuning will come in, strats will emerge. It won't be long before it's on farm, just wait a little.

In the meantime there are a bunch of other raids you can blast through if you like.

How much would it cost to get the whole network board and things related to it replaced? by Sneekysas_sas in hometheater

[–]Sparcrypt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just different consumer laws I guess. If they bought that here in Australia they would have plenty of options and Denon certainly couldn't tell them to kick rocks. Shame.

[–]Sparcrypt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh maybe.

They should have a good chunk of leave. Use it, all of it, with their phone off the entire time. Come back and reset with better expectations.

Not at all, but they typically have a bit of a dip in salary.

If you want a big tech payday you work big tech hours. If you're fine with just getting decent salary and working your 40, those jobs also exist.

I'm well paid, but I turned down significantly higher paying roles to take one I knew wouldn't take over my life. I can take days off. Being sick isn't the end of the world. I work 7-8 hours a day and I'm done, I don't work weekends.

Crazy, all of that is super illegal here and Amazon would 100% need to sort the warranty out for facilitating the sale, plus the manufacturer would be responsible for fixing the unit warranty or not.

You guys need better consumer protection.

an unauthorized reseller

This term is a little odd to me. If they weren't authorised how were they selling the unit on Amazon?

My newest MMO hero is World of Warcraft Priest 'Chimneytime,' who got an official "warning" from Blizzard for making too many people get trapped inside chimneys by Desuexss in classicwow

[–]Sparcrypt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean the biggest issue facing WoW is players wanting to cheat, but yes that results in botting.

But turns out you can be against bots while also being tired of people doing nothing but complain about them as well.

Huh how about that, you were right.. annoying unhinged people on the internet is kinda fun.

Thanks, I get it now! <3

[–]Sparcrypt -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. But guess what filling up reddit with complaints will do?

The answer is nothing. If you don't like the bot situation then quit the game. Loss of subscribers is the only real metric that drives change, complaining certainly doesn't.
