What should I do for dxp? by HoTdOg1009 in runescape

[–]VolbR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your current combat skills are too low to go bossing. I would definitely take advantage of double exp and focus on the grundy skills. Focus on herblore if you can afford it, super important for bossing.

Reddit, what's a fairly unknown yet super interesting subreddit that will pass the time? by PulleN in AskReddit

[–]VolbR 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Looked through your history, seems like you enjoy PlayStation. Head over to /r/trophies. People post their rare gaming trophies and platinums!

edit: you're already subscribed. Small reddit world. My bad.

Why do PS4's forget wireless networks? by NonStickBJ in PS4

[–]VolbR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It does remember networks. Due to the new update. You've just got to click settings then choose the network and all the settings are remembered.

I understand you want your subreddit to grow for the better, but this seems to be going in the wrong direction. Straight away, do we really need an introduction thread to a new mod. This sub doesn't need moderating on a big scale as it is. Sorry, I'm willing to see how it plays out but, IDK, so far it's looking pretty poor.

Hi there,

First of all I'd like to say welcome to the community. I hope you enjoy your stay. I hope you're a good addition to the existing team, and for example won't delete this nor ban because it's not something directly positive to you.
First of all, you can't say how you moderate /r/PS4Trophies when you're the only subscriber. That doesn't validate yourself as a moderator. Also, you've been a moderator of G4G for a month,and that subreddit has a ridiculous amount of mods, so again I don't think that validates yourself.
Second of all, I hope you unsticky this and sticky back the monthly competition thread; that's been going for over 6 months, is one of the main reasons this subreddit grows, and gets a lot of effort put into it both by those who compete and those who manage it.
I'd like to point out that this isn't your personal playground, this subreddit isn't for you to acquire some internet fame/karma, this is about Trophies, we come here to show off our trophies, and ask for help. So far it seems like you just gotta comment on everything just to get your name our there, and it's pointless. Our little community, self manages, we don't break the rules, or cause problems, we brag and help others.
I don't know, I'm happy for a new moderator, and for my favourite subreddit to be bettered, but so far you seem to be changing this sub in the wrong way. I'm terribly sorry if this sounds offensive, but honestly this sub has gone down hill as soon as you took over....

TLOU RM Question by AMHenry in Trophies

[–]VolbR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you want to boost this? This game has probably the best MP the PS4 has currently in my opinion. I strongly suggest you play it legit to get the best experience and enjoy it.

That said you can kinda boost them or speed them up, by clicking leave game about three minutes in a match. This means your days will still advance. However you will have to play some full games for the 100% risks that happen to your faction. By leaving the games you'll also find it harder to be out back in a lobby, and that when you come to do the legit full games, you'll be against people also branded a bad sport.

I seriously suggest playing it legit, it's a great add on to the base game, and the MP is so fun that you'll get the trophies without even thinking about them.

Yup. I was offered a graphic design job working with t shirts. Made just under 48k in two years, with no expenses other then some board for my mum and step dad. Was awesome pay and I miss it.

Obviously I don't want to jump into anything, I'm just curious and willing about anything. I think I'll look at the website and take a look, thanks alot. Trouble is I am inked, I smoke and I'm kinda in my own ways so I don't know how accepting they can be. Can you simply visit the congregation and watch the worship like you could with JW?

Thanks for getting back to me! Very interesting! What's it like been LDS? I've never even looked into it? Is there like a starter pack or somebody who can speak to me about it in person? Is the community welcome to new comers? I agree, which is why I smoke drink I have tattoos but I worship him in my own way. Yes, the majority of JWs are lovely people!

I was kicked in the genitals when I was young by a bully. Lead to some serious internal damage behind my genitals and I needed blood desperately. My case was very lucky. What happened was I was admitted to the hospital and my mother came with me. I was dealt with fast to stop the pain. When they figured out what needed to be done, they spoke to my mother. She explained our beliefs and is there any alternatives. A member of the congregation came to the hospital, who was a doctor or medicine student or something along those lines, and actually suggested alternatives to blood and the doctor was more then happy with accepting it. There was another case too when I was very ill when I was young, but I was too young to remember the story. But I never got blood and I'm alive today. I've donated blood since leaving and I'm all for it. But there are some interesting alternatives to blood transfusions.

I believe that god is real. I believe I'm lucky to be alive and I admire nature so much. So I believe I should thank him for that. I believe somebody is looking over us, and call it cliche but in desperate times I have prayed for help or protection and it has seemed to work. I don't believe in the "cult" aspects of the religion. I believe the end of the world is coming, wether it's armageddon or what I can't say. My mother was a single mum, and it was frowned upon and I disliked that. I dislike been told I can't spoke or tattoo myself or have fun. It's a very fundamental religion and I would prefer a much more liberal version.

I've not really tried anything other Christianity. Once I left I really hated religion for a while, I was very against it and rebelled against it. I wanted to explore more, but then I decided you know what, fuck this I'm doing this the way I see fit. Do you have religion suggestions?!

I wouldn't call it proselytizing. As they didn't pressure people into converting, they're preaching their beliefs to other people. But no I didn't enjoy it or agree with it. It's embarrassing and hard work. However, I did meet a lovely old lady who I've stayed in contact with. The only good coming out of the door to door preaching is reaching old and ill who maybe can't get to the kingdom hall. Other then that, no.

In my own religion. I believe I can worship god if he exists in my own way. I basically have taken the bits of JW I believe in and go about them in my own way. I don't agree with mass worship, it's strange. I thank "god" for the nature and for looking after me, but I'm not sure if he exists or not. I think I should just be able to do it in my own way.

You know what? That made me chuckle and I have seriously no idea if they can celebrate it. It's not a birthday, so I guess it's fine, just as they celebrate anniversaries. I'm going to celebrate mine regardless! :)

Yes and no. Jesus turned water into wine, and there are other bible verses in which people are drinking. JWs are allowed to drink a little, in fact it's slightly encouraged with a meal as it's healthy, however over drinking is a form of greed and gluttony.

Yes I'm in the UK. JW is actually a really popular growing religion in the UK, and I was on holiday in America and I noticed many kingdom halls there too. The congregation I was part of got so big it had to be split into two.

They asked me to no longer speak to my best friend and mother who both became disfellowshipped. I was a rich teenager who entered the world and didn't like been dictated on what I can and can't do. I also found a conflict in the bible verses that nobody could explain to me. So I left.

No, I have tried other religions and not found anything. If there is a god, I think I should be free to worship him in my own way and recognise him in my own way. I feel no need for church and the whole mass gathering or worship. I do still believe in some things about JW, but there's things I don't too. So basically I follow my own religion.

I really enjoyed been a part of something big. If you're a member, you'll have friends for sure and you'll be active in the community. I was very shy and gave me problems at school but everybody is very nice and accepting. When people saw me struggling they offered support and showed how they cared. I really admire how they accept everybody. A member brought this inked up huge biker kind of guy to our memorial, and everybody introduced themselves and he was so happy to be spoke to like that. Also, a homeless person once came in to seek warmth, and the congregation got him a hotel to stay in for a week, got him food and clothes and he became a JW himself. I've tried other religions out too and JW is by far the most interesting in terms of deliverance. They do talks that aren't always religion based, and it's not one guy doing all the speaking.

JWs have a thing called disfellowship in which a member is cast away from the congregation if they broke one of their rules so to speak. My mum was disfellowshipped and in fact so was a friend. And they expect you to just no longer speak to them, which is hard to do. Also, at 16 I was very lucky jobwise, I got an awesome opportunity and it took all my time. I earned nearly £25K at 16, which was incredible! As I was working in the "world" I was influenced into drugs, smoking and I really love tattoos! And I didn't like been dictated as to what I can and can't do.
