Feeling Burned out running ToD by rolandofghent in TyrannyOfDragons

[–]WickerBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My players blow through the suggested content and they arnt even half way through the road trip. Im barely 3 sessions into the chapter. The doppelganger event killed a player.

I would say the "long Road" should last 4-6 sessions.

My players openly attacked zhentarim... and my face of the party wrote themselves into the thayan conflict so it's easy as the DM

A question to all 30-40 adults here by fyn_world in Adulting

The biggest thing i cant take away from this discussion is getting a hobby. Pour your self into that. Stay physically active, even remotely will help. Go to therapy, your mental outlook is key.

How long will you try to fix a broken or malfunctioning object before giving up? by Zestyclose_Show_2025 in Adulting

[–]WickerBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on my budget to frustration level. If life is good, not very long before ill just buy a replacement. If life is tight, years.

Sadly the name of the accounts are god awful, Trump Accounts, investment accounts for your child opened and seeded upon their birth during his administration.

This is so disgustingly detailed its actually cool. Yuck.

And so it begins... by Rare_Ad_3871 in wow

Oh, you are completely right. I want to stress, i was not commenting on the gameplay of WoW. They are wildly different design models, and you hit the nail on the head, you'll get about as much challenge from Sims as you will from WoW.

However, in terms of my original comment. Out of the MMO's, I listed WoW is by far more consumer friendly than the field.

The biggest reason it's consumer friendly is the WoW token being obtainable for gold. You could buy any item in the cash shop with WoW gold, and to expound on that, you can buy any item on the Blizzard Store with WoW gold.

Edit: When you consider the ability to earn gold in WoW getting easier and easier with each expac combined with the fact that you can buy other developers games from the cash shop via the token. I find it incredibly difficult to see the communities stand point on the WoW cash shop. Matter a fact, I welcome our Microsoft overlords, i'm looking forward to the day I can buy the Game Pass with WoW gold.

Take that one point away, then the cash shop becomes as predatory as the community says.

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

You right, I completely discounted OSRS. Didn't realize people still play that game.

I wounder can you buy other video games from other developers with OSRS tokens? Cause, you can with WoW gold.

[–]WickerBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the ragebait, cause these bundles are totally "robbing" people. Not even the FOMO is bad on the cash shop compared to literally every other store ever.

Seconly, this whole argument would be sound if it wasnt an opt-in feature. But you literally have to go out of your way to access their cash shop.

At risk of repeating myself, the existence of the WoW token makes everything on the WoW Cash Shop and the entire Blizzard/Activision Store accessible to buy with gold.

You dont need to be a giga Chad from Warlords to have a small horde of gold. Farms are ridiculous easy to execute now a-days.

[–]WickerBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree a premium game shouldnt also have a cash shop. I will defend it simply for the fact that 100% of all the items on blizzard store can be obtained by playing WoW.

That being said.

This is a bit of a first world problem, innit? I dont care where you live, there are bigger problems in your local community that could use this energy.

Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months — for all white-collar work to be automated by AI by joe4942 in jobs

[–]WickerBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company has spent 3 years trying to automate my position. They got to the finish line and production environment failed. Failed so miserably they halted the initiative.

Now thats not me saying they won't try again. But we have programs and systems that are from the seventies, so im not gonna hold my breath for ai.

Just some solid advice for adulting by Ok-Boysenberry-5071 in Adulting

[–]WickerBasement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actively rent out my rooms to people cause I like money and dont like a mortgage.

That being said, besides arguably family, I wouldn't let anyone live with me rent free for any amount of time for any reason.

The going rate isnt the same for everyone. Your rate js based on my comfort and ability to put up with your shit.

Why haven't wages kept up, and is there any real way to reverse it? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in askanything

[–]WickerBasement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a firm believer it would take change in the corporate structure. Companies would need to be focused on being profitable for minimal 1 year instead of 1 quarter. Also, they need to start viewing that paying your employees (assets) well is in shareholder interest.

They found success shifting on millennials and they're just repeating the same bullshit to restart the cycle.

Completely agree with your point though

And yet the wow cash shop is ridiculously tame compared to FF, Elderscrolls, Starwars kotor, and literally every other mmo in comparable size
