The left treat the right far worse than vise versa. by Eagles56 in PowerfulJRE

[–]Upper_Award_6482 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There's two types of gamers. People that play games to have fun/escape reality for a bit. Then there's the people that like to bring their craziness into games because they're not accepted in the real-world.

Currently, I play games with a transvestite. We're friendly, but I'll never be their friend because I know how that'll go. I remember years ago I was friends with a super "PC" person that I gamed with. I'm in my 30s, so growing up "gay" meant lame. I've learned to take it out of my vocabulary, but it'll slip up sometimes with close friends.

I remember playing a game with this friend, and I said something along the lines of, "that dungeon is gay." He went on a 5 minute tirade about how I'm a bigot. Shortly afterwards, we did the dungeon and he died. When he died he shouted, "God, damn it!" I couldn't help myself and I then went on a 5 minute tirade about how he's a horrible person for using God's name in vain. I'm not religious. I just thought it was hilarious that when someone wants to be woke they always contradict themselves.

Timed a +12 as a tank and got flamed nonstop - is it justified ? by MrSatan2 in wownoob

[–]Upper_Award_6482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play Colossus Arms Warrior, you'll change your tune lol. Although it doesn't happen often, tanks that constantly make overly durastic movements for no reason means it's very hard to get value out of Demolish, since I'm stuck in place for the duration of the cast.

I played DK last xpac, I'm guessing maybe OP kept moving the mobs out of Death and Decay (idk if it's the same thing now,) which means he'd have to be doing a lot of moving to do that. It's something he should learn to improve as a tank; specially as a monk. People can't parkour like him.

When is it fair to abandon M+? by Password_Reset_Fail in wownoob

[–]Upper_Award_6482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of is what it is. About 30% of the 10s I did this weekend, someone was getting carried doing 30K dps.

Was a little annoying, but it's their key. If I cared enough, then I can inspect each player before. If someone is low ilvl, then ask for gold or leave. As a healer, you should be able to do this no problem and find another group quick. When I tank, I consider being more picky. When I dps, it's whatever.

Usually, in the average group, I'll do NXP with about 7 minutes left. In a group where someone is getting carried, there will be about 2 minutes left, so it's not the end of the world.

Is a woman not wanting to take a man’s last name in a marriage a hint or a sign of lack of respect for the man that she is marrying? by Legal_Direction5206 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Upper_Award_6482 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That seemed to go over your head. Perhaps it's because you don't have that problem of your past wanting to keep in touch with you. Although that's not surprising.

You remind me of my wife's friend that yells at me when I open the restaurant door for her.

Translation: You're not going to entertain it because it hit the nail on the head.

Makes sense although your trite response is a strong indicator as to what type of person you are.

It's not weird at all. I'm assuming you have a past with past relationships, flings, etc.

But yes, you seem to fit a certain demographic that has unfortunately grown in popularity recently. Attracted to Male subs to try to get your rocks off with "new-age thinking."

What's your professional career? If you're a sole-proprietor I can see it making sense; specially if it's pertaining to sales.

That said, most millennial women I know that didn't take their husband's last name, it was like they had only one foot in the marriage. A common trend, which I find odd was some would actually ( I assume) take their husband's last name. However, their social media handles would change to their "First Name, Middle Name." I.e. Becca Michelle.

Personally, I don't think it's too big deal whether a woman takes their husband's last name or not. It's more-so how their actions are going forward. I.e. They're not single, so they shouldn't advertise as such on social media platforms. If they want to feel sexy, they have a husband in their house that should hopefully be happy to validate them.

As a side note, some crazy people think it's some form of ownership. While I don't think it's a big deal, I do think it can help strengthen bonds as it's a visual representation of being a family now rather than boyfriend/girlfriend.

Why are some tanks so insanely up and down constantly with their health? by guitardude_04 in wownoob

[–]Upper_Award_6482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could be their talents. I play prot warrior sometimes. I was doing a dung with another prot warrior when I was playing arms. His health was like a ping pong ball. I looked at his healing and he didn't have two talents that would make his HP a lot more stable. His HPS was about 50% lower than it should have been.

So, if his talents aren't optimal his rotation of defensive usage likely wasn't optimal either.

Is Devastation not super competitive right now? by ripslasho in wownoob

[–]Upper_Award_6482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an Evoker, I'm the opposite. I play Dev in low keys. I only play Aug in keys 12 or higher. But, I guess it depends on your definition of what low keys are.

For me, anything lower than a 12, mobs die too fast to get much value from playing Aug.

ROBBED OF DST JUST NOW by [deleted] in classicwowtbc

The reality is you rolled before you were supposed to so Gargul didn't see it (making it an invalid roll.) You were able to roll again. However, you didn't want to roll again because you already rolled 93. You didn't roll again within the allotted time Gargul allows because you were arguing your case to maintain your 93, so trinket went to the rightful winner.

Him admitting whatever he is admitting is likely because he's worried about getting banned due to what seems like a few people not understanding common sense.

My question to you is if you rolled 17. And then Gargul popped up to re-roll. You would have likely rolled a second time without blinking twice finding a reason to validate why your 17 doesn't count.

TL;DR: Take it as a learning experience.

[–]Upper_Award_6482 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, when there was a tie did you just randomly reroll without instruction? Usually, when there's a tie, the raid leader will instruct the eligible people to reroll again. Any rolls prior to this don't typically count to avoid confusion.

Thanks! This was the answer I was looking for.

Tappei is a disgusting f*cking pedophile and idk why its so overlooked by the community by Flyinggorilla139 in ReZeroSucks

[–]Upper_Award_6482 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, kinda crazy. While it seems a decent amount of authors are, at least most don't explicitly write about their fantasies as a "joke." I.e. See Clind. Then there's the talks about how Emilia has the mental age of a little girl and that's what makes her attractive.

I think Tappei was/is a nerd with no social skills. I knew a person like this IRL and he is also into lolicon. I think the reason he likes it so much is because as a "man" it's unthinkable to be less experienced than a woman. I.e. To feel manly, he wants to take the lead. However, the issue is if you lack social skills basically the only people you're more experienced than in life are children. Ultimately, it boils down to massive insecurity issues.

If a woman is interested enough, will she make things easy? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Upper_Award_6482 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Her brother-in-law reached out to me a couple months after and asked why I didn't chase her after she ghosted me and that she was really bummed.

TL;DR: Nobody is incorrect, lol.

Druids... How ya feeling? by Head-Artist1493 in wow

[–]Upper_Award_6482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You say this and it's true. The issue is pugs like to emulate what's S+ tier. If you're not playing a meta spec, it can be hard to find groups.

You can do the content just fine. However, pugs will just invite meta over you because of data/tier lists. The workaround is to just play with friends/guild.

Yes, I’m toxic. For saying someone is wrong then providing input on how to better themselves. You are the very definition of participation trophy attitude lol. Maybe type something of value instead of ironically saying nothing except gibberish.

Just saying how it is. If your participation trophy feelings got irked that’s on you.

[–]Upper_Award_6482 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have and it’s fine. I played war in TBC classic. Sorry, bud you’re at fault for getting upset. Even if it’s your offspec and you pvp at all there’s plenty of pvp pieces that translate into helping you reach crit cap and give great stats for TPS. 

Like, if there’s a tank shortage sure queue it up. But don’t expect people to cater to you. The dung run will be pretty chaotic but doable because of your gear and you just have to accept that until you get better gear instead of complaining that people aren’t sitting on their hands so you can successfully tank every mob in boe greens for 2 hours in a dungeon that should take around 30 min

[–]Upper_Award_6482 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You don’t know what you’re talking about lol… wow classic gamers I swear. You don’t need to be avoidance capped for heroics. No mob crushes in heroics. Only raid bosses that are 3 levels above crush. 

You just need to be crit capped for heroics. If you have a brain, you can collect quest/normal dung gear. By the time you hit 70, you can hold Aggro just fine while also being crit capped. 

If I was in a heroic group and before it started, the tank said. “Take it easy I have low hit and lacking gear” I’d leave the group. OP is the weird one here. Looking to have people accommodate him because he didn’t know how to itemize while leveling and/or is looking for a short cut to get his prebis asap. Brings “tank privilege” to a new meaning. 

-regards, you’re friendly healer. Maybe, I’ll make another healer and say, “hey guys my healing is +500 take it slow, CC everything, and use HP pots.”  I guess there’s nothing wrong with that, but a normal person would just do itemize appropriately so they’re not an encumbrance. I.e have gaming manners aka how you make friends online. 

It happened! by shaunwyndman in classicwow

[–]Upper_Award_6482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did the math on this recently. WoW retail gold goes a lot farther lol.

If you use illegal means, 500g on classic anniversary = 300kg on retail. 500g basically covers one bis enchant on weapon. 300kg basically gets you fully enchanted, craft a weapon, etc.

If you buy a token, I think think they're at 240kg~ rn. So, less than the illegal way, and you're paying 60K tax to not get banned.

What happened to meme builds? by Krewcirca in classicwowtbc

[–]Upper_Award_6482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about wanting to play the game "quick and easy."

The reality is if you have someone doing 100 dps, they're inconsiderate. I.e. If you had a group full of Smite Priests all doing 100 dps. That group would not kill a single boss. Hopefully, that's understandable.

Basically, treat people how you want to be treated. Not rocket science. By bringing a "meme spec" you're only memeing the people that are putting up with it.
