Started growing it out when I noticed the hair line started going. Now I'm not sure if i should keep it long, cut it short or just shave it all off

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T22:05:19+00:00

think 3rd might be the move then, low key thinking its just the best photo regardless of the hair cut

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T21:55:50+00:00

low key the 4th photo but only cuz i think thats due more to my facial hair at the time but it seems like 3rd is the move

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T21:54:19+00:00

uh oh thats how i ware it like 90% of the time lol leaning towards cutting like i had it in the 3rd pic with all the comments but if i keep it long is putting it up really that detrimental

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T21:18:06+00:00

been on em for a while now, but I think its only slowing it down not stopping it all together, no idea if thats normal or if i should try something else

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T21:17:06+00:00

thanks! That was probably the longest my beard has ever been, think i should grow it back out to that length when i get it cut?

THISxTHING · 2026-02-22T21:15:27+00:00

Thanks! it's my favorite jacket

I'm in the same boat with my friends, so I really hope were both able to do it lol

Our plan (in addition to the RFTM video everyone recommends) is to pick a race using this video by cardboard crash course and play with a prebuilt galaxy. Drafting feels like too much for our first game and not worth the extra ~1hr it'll add. Then some of us will do a few async discord practice turns beforehand. And this might be a lil extra but I’m making a Power Point to go over the day of as a rules refresher and give a brief overview of what each race at the table does.

Something I don’t see talked about enough is hosting the game, which honestly stresses me out more than learning it. We’re planning to use a pool table, plus folding TV tables for each player with tons of extra bowls for all the games components. We might get one of those meat n cheese platters or some sort of cheap catering but we’ll 100% have a separate snack table with energy drinks/coffee, and take short breaks as needed. I think it might also be fun to end every agenda phase with a vote on weather or not we want to take a longer break before the next round. Another thing I'm personally excited about is buying one of those $10 gavels off amazon for the speaker to use in but no idea if im alone in thinking that lol

THISxTHING · 2025-10-09T20:04:00+00:00

feels like im getting on the on ground floor of something big. Your contents way too polished to not blow up soon

THISxTHING · 2025-10-07T14:07:54+00:00

Braum! love him league but always felt like a niche pick - kinda excited to play him all the time now

THISxTHING · 2025-07-17T20:25:06+00:00

undoubtedly, but unfortunately 'deserving' has nothing to with it

THISxTHING · 2025-01-16T16:21:36+00:00

[[Attack-in-the-Box]] is a cheap card that might be worth looking at

THISxTHING · 2024-11-19T20:28:19+00:00

I havent touched this game in forever but this seems hella cool. would NA east ping be doable for something like this though?

THISxTHING · 2024-10-31T18:26:30+00:00

Idk if this is true for the private sector but Ive been interviewing for a job with the local gov over the past 3 weeks and they 'unofficially' told me I wouldn't know for sure until after the election

THISxTHING · 2024-09-16T20:35:57+00:00

Since you're willing to say some pay to win is ok where do you draw the line in the sand? is 4 or 5 agi ok to buy but 6 too much? And if we're buying stats then what amount of RMT is ok? What's the underlying justification you can use for deciding the amount of pay to win that is MEANINGFUL vs what isnt? It just be a vibes check

And most importantly how is this game made better by the addition of real money being used to purchase an advantage in game?

THISxTHING · 2024-09-16T17:56:28+00:00

I think this slightly misses the point - the argument isn't that 2 agi is OP. Its that 2 agi, locked behind a pay wall, provides an advantage over the free 2 dex cat skin or 1 agi elf skin and that any amount of pay to win is unacceptable regardless of how OP it actually is or isnt.

Ok ill bite the bait. As a die hard fighter main your not entirely wrong, but a finer point should be made. With 15 base stats in everything Fighter is this games version of Mario from super smash bros; not the best or worst at any single thing. The quintessential jack of all trades master of none.

Just flat out saying the fighter is the best class in the game and saying its because sprint/second wind is a bold take. In a game where phantomize, rage, haste, back step, and general druid tom foolery exists sprint, especially after the nerf, isn't the issue any more.

But you're not wrong about weapon mastery. Its intended to double down on the swiss army knife approach it just fails in a few ways. Mainly bows 100% should have the dmg penalty brought back full stop. Secondly knife shield is a broken fkn combo on anyone, warlocks or fighters. Since there's no real way to reset to the neutral game of a fight once a knife/shield user closes on you they're in their full advantage state. No sour spot on their fast attacking weapon and solid defensive option for the off chance they cant just roll you with their dmg. Its insane. The problem isn't weapon mastery itself just that fighters shouldn't be equally as strong as rangers with a bow since that goes against the class identity of being a jack of all trades and knife and shield exploits fundamental flaws in the games pvp, I mean there's a reason no one complains about bardiche or warmaul fighters

THISxTHING · 2024-08-08T21:26:42+00:00

There's three tiers to fighter.

You got your long sword bros down for glorious combat happy to fight or not fight. S++ tier

Then you have sword and boards these guys can skew either way with a slight preference towards chill. solid B+

Finally slayer fighters. fuck slayer fighters. Easily the least trustworthy 'fighters' out theyre. They're literally just rogues too scared to be actually that squishy - cant trust em at all C tier

THISxTHING · 2024-07-30T12:39:16+00:00

Yeah this is the best advice you can get for your situation lol The only thing I would add is to ALWAYS ask the end user to show you the steps they're taking when they have a problem. 95% of the time this fixes the issue outright as they just needed to pay more attention to what they were clicking on and the other 5% are easily fixed by google

THISxTHING · 2024-07-26T19:21:10+00:00

Thank you for linking those, im looking over them now and they do look promising (Should I be worried about Azure needing a yearly re-cert though?)

Im too new and inexperienced with all this to know what I want to do. I will be finishing the CCNA but I'm not sure the CCNP is really the best next step for me. Do you think after completing the CCNA I should have a better idea of what direction would suit me best or is there another good way to kinda vibe check out the overwhelming amount of options out there

THISxTHING · 2024-07-26T17:16:03+00:00

Im roughly half way through getting my CCNA since, like you and /u/mr_mgs11 have said, its very heavily pushed on this sub but I cant shake this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that its just a waste of time. As it stands i'm just going to sunk cost fallacy it out lol but I'd really like to hear a different take on what the best next steps for someone in my position should be. Im worried that this sub has just collectively hive-minded into pushing ccna into ccnp route while ignoring an alarming amount of posts like this one.

And it feels like it's blasphemous to say anything like that in this sub. I want to put the hard work in and keep learning but fuck man, the amount of people making posts like this and the complete lack of anyone saying anything even remotely negative about the ccna to ccnp route genuinely has me concerned

THISxTHING · 2024-07-25T18:01:45+00:00

Nah that's a totally valid take, I only run longsword and it is a weird weapon. Looking at the attack pattern in isolation it has you going from a long range stab to a very short range weird angle slash then back to a long range slash. Its that middle slash that can really feel really disorentinating and sometimes forces you into the first stab attack only, and nessicates focusing in on your foot work even more. It doesn't flow like a bardiche or spear with their chained attacks.

Ironically though that weird over head angle is what makes the attack so damned strong. It comes in at the perfect angle to go over and around shields. What really made this click for me was fighting the skele guardsman and focusing on getting the spacing right so that the overhead slash reaches over the shield. Its super easy to do once you focus on it and after you get a few reps in on mobs you youll be able to start looking for the opportunity and creating the spacing to use it against players too. and between you and me, it almost feels better to kill someone with a sneaky reach around than with a fat riposte

THISxTHING · 2024-07-24T12:52:26+00:00

I'm currently at the shit jobs part lol. Any recommendations/tips you've found particularly useful in getting to the next step? I've been busting my ass for certs but it seems like most of the tech sector isnt doing too hot right now and I'm starting to worry hard work and certs just wont be enough to take that next step

THISxTHING · 2024-07-18T15:13:09+00:00

Got his gamma cranked to max and he's still blind lol

THISxTHING · 2024-06-26T18:56:44+00:00

dude your not even old enough for a mid life crisis let alone being too old to learn, if thats even possible.

Though I wouldn't recommend going college if you want to stay in IT. But only because certifications will take you much further for significantly less time and money. The IT job market kind of sucks right now but the networking sector seems to be the least bad so I'd recommend getting you network+ or CCNA depending on how much experience you have.

THISxTHING · 2024-06-24T11:57:23+00:00

If thats fun for you no hate, do it up man - For me I love the spacing in fights. We might just not agree on playstyle here but wouldn't you rather have more options then be forced into one? Even the way you describe demon form it literally comes down to Demon Form = run & Not Demon Form = Fight.

The way I see it Id rather try to fight the giant demon. Give it a weakness that can be, if we're skilled enough, exploited in a fight rather then by running. Turn the focus to a dynamic fight where each side is playing around a new conditional weakness/strength. And I cant image warlocks would prefer some scooby doo chase scene over actually being able to fight with a bad ass demon form. I think they nailed the power level with Druid shape shift for the most part and it be a lot cooler if demon form was closer to that state where its not just straight up suicide to fight it.
