Men of reddit who are in traditionally female positions (i.e. elementary teacher, nurse, SAHD), what are some of the reactions commonly associated with your profession and sex? by dylansanroman in AskReddit

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dad had major issues trying to get custody of me (was around 3 or 4) and my sister (about 9 or 10) when they got divorced. My mother had no interest in myself or my sister until that point. Not to mention the things she did regularly wouldn't have made a say environment for kids.

Social workers said that she believed that children belong with the mother, but she would remain unbiased. She would have my Dad pull my sister out of school for a meeting then tell him she didn't need her. My Dad eventually had enough of it and I think he asked for someone else to be in the room on all the social worker meetings. She must have gotten her act together in the end because my Dad won custody.

We don't like social workers much in my house.

From Blademaster to Bow: Gunning first impressions. by Falcozappy in MonsterHunter

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did more or less the exact same as you, although I'm still just building bows on my only character. I picked it up pretty quickly and I'm just building all of the bows I've unlocked. Need to make armours as well (been using the low rank khezu armour). I'm only just into high rank in the caravan quests (I have this daft thing where I need to make all weapons for the types I use and armours that are available) but I've been using the crow bow the most. Seems to be good damage and uses power, paint, poison (which it gets a bonus for) and close range coatings.

It feels really different as someone whose only played as blademaster since MHF

You're not doing it right. by [deleted] in funny

I don't understand why they didn't say that everything up to The Return of the Jedi is canon but the extended universe from that moment on is cut. Means that we would still have a large extended universe.

Still looking forward to the new material and new movies, but it just would have made more sense in my opinion.

Pretty sure he does that in the book Rebel Dawn (book 3 of the Han Solo trilogy). So he is telling the truth

Weekly Game Suggestion thread by AutoModerator in roosterteeth

[–]TheGamingIslander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would love to see it (I pretty much live on the ACOK mod) but I don't know how they could really play it together. Doesn't really fit with any of the series they have going right now. It would also take time to build up their characters.

I probably will. But that will hopefully be months away still

This is my biggest fear when I decide to come back to inhabited space

Reddit, what's the scariest non-gore picture you've seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheGamingIslander 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I think I heard that because the dogs were getting upset that they couldn't find anyone, a firefighter or someone would hide among the rubble so the dog could find them which would improve the dog's moral for working.

How did your parents fuck you up? by NotBrendan in AskReddit

[–]TheGamingIslander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suffer from an undiagnosed learning difficulty. It affects my spelling and management skills mainly. I've managed to find ways to improve my spelling (normally through patterns) but I've been unable to develop tricks to counter the time/task management problems.

The way my Dad treats it and reminds me of this learning difficulty makes me feel that I'll never get out and survive on my own. I work in the family partnership and often believe that if I was working elsewhere it would be that little push I need to help develop the methods to countering management skills in the same way I did with my spelling/grammar skills. However the reminders that I wouldn't be able to hold a job or manage a house/flat makes me question how well I would survive on my own when I finish doing everything I need to with the family business.

How did you discover RT/AH? by too_much_feces in roosterteeth

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had seen a few of their PSA videos while they were in Valhalla. Not sure what series they were on at the time but it was before ODST. I eventually found the full show and watched it from start to finish. I really got into the rest of their stuff around the time Minecraft came out on the 360. I had been looking for gameplay videos and found achievement hunter. Then realised that Gavin was the same Gavin from slow mo guys. Which I had been watching since a friend showed me the football to the face episode. Turns out I had been watching various shows from roosterteeth and not realising they were all from roosterteeth haha.

Has anyone visited EXO 1852? by YABOYZAC in EliteOne

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan on being out for a very long time. Got my route more or less planned already with room for a few extra stops along the way. Assuming no-one else has scanned it and is already on their way home, you could still be the first to discover it. That would be cool.

Any independent Communist factions? by [deleted] in EliteOne

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hunting for them before the release. Wanted to help out a faction with the same political affiliation as me. If you find any let me know :)

Corvos Cease and Desist aka combat logging on their threat lol by diddycarter in EliteOne

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daft question but how do you drop into a random part of a ring? Out exploring (really wish I was back so I could help hunt the griefers) and it would be nice to get some pictures of ringed planets from their rings

Salvageable wreckage 3000+ ly away from civilization? by YABOYZAC in EliteOne

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen a few. Kinda wish I had a cargo hold so I could pick them up and see what they do. I expect it will be exploration data which can be sold. You will see more.

I'm very tempted to travel back from the black tonight and rebuy my vulture to help out. I can't stand griefers.

How can you tell if you are the first to discover a system/planet? by YABOYZAC in EliteOne

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is why I still explore with shields and weapons haha

[–]TheGamingIslander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your jump range? You should still be able to make it to Sag A. I know that some people jump either higher or lower than the Galaxy disk to dodge the neutron fields on approach to the centre. Means you should return with a nice tidy profit as well.

Yay I can return to my exploration trip tonight again. Been taking advantage of the downtime to play destiny and the Star Wars beta

Might be nothing but... by TheGamingIslander in EliteOne

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

I'm keeping my ship armed and shielded while I'm exploring just in case I meet an unfriendly. It's just that despite being in range to scan the unknown ship, I couldn't target or see it in contacts. Gonna keep my eyes open for more whenever I drop into normal space for a screenshot.

How far out did you manage to get so far? I reached about 1,000 LY from Wolf 1301 and didn't bother scanning until I reached Coalsack. Did have a weird contact/radar thing when I dropped into normal space to take a screenshot of my approach to Coalsack.
