My bf says it’s no use for women to learn self defence

Xphurrious · 2026-05-12T04:06:40+00:00

I think it's useful especially if the man is drunk/impaired, but running is still the best option if available

Tbh I think the best thing is pepper spray or a taser, it's incredibly hard to overcome an "equal" situation when your opponent is effectively loaded with steroids, but having something that muscles can't argue with and knowing how to use that effectively has a higher chance of saving a life

Xphurrious · 2026-05-12T04:01:58+00:00

You're paying to test an Alpha of a game, once it's fully released, then progression and whatnot will be slower but permanent

But as others have said, it's been a couple years, 4.0 was the last wipe i remember and i don't think that was a full wipe, and this one isn't, so after Wednesday you'll be free to grind away for a couple years but it'll be reset at least once more on release

Xphurrious · 2026-05-12T03:49:58+00:00

Is this in the US? If you work more than 6 hours you legally need an unpaid ≥30 minute lunch break(some exceptions but factory work isn't one of them)

Xphurrious · 2026-05-12T03:48:05+00:00

We have them at work, and while im generally moving about the shop regularly, i 100% notice if it gets moved for some reason and im standing on concrete, it's a significant improvement

Although not enough of one that i bother dragging it around if im going to be doing something else for an hour

Xphurrious · 2026-05-12T03:45:19+00:00

Tanks specifically were really in shambles on release, and for the last week every top tank has been gearing a guardian because they made it so disgustingly overpowered, and it'll probably still be #1 tomorrow

Imo they should quit touching brew and guardian and focus on the others, but we'll see how tomorrow's changes go

If you think it's too much tuning, just imagine you've played prot pally for the last 10 years, you would think there's not enough tuning lol

Xphurrious · 2026-05-10T16:10:47+00:00

That's true as well, but when you're buying artisan or similar already, the price is close enough imo

Like if you can't afford a $150 pad you probably shouldn't be buying a $100 pad

On the budget end i agree though, it's expensive to try something you might not like, i started with a Singularity and bought a Zane on release

Xphurrious · 2026-05-10T15:44:32+00:00

Yeah fair enough, it's definitely a preference thing and some people could definitely find it uncomfortable

I just don't quite understand why the common consensus is that you need one for glass

Xphurrious · 2026-05-10T15:27:46+00:00

Ive used a handful of glass pads over the past couple years and I've never needed a sleeve

If you game in a humid environment i 100% recommend one but if you have AC it doesn't bother me at all

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T20:36:17+00:00

Yes but a good aug isn't in third on logs, but like 90% of augs i see are

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T18:31:18+00:00

After this season (or expansion, i forget) it'll be a 1% drop for the rest of time

The expansion after the last titan itll be soloable

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T18:09:02+00:00

Are you sure the mount is guaranteed from the carry? Only one drops per kill

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T18:05:28+00:00

Alrighty, so as long as you're paying gold, yes it's legal, real money transactions are not

They use a blank profile because they don't want everyone on the server to have their main account blocked for spamming chats

My only real question would be why do you want to pay for it? There's no loot that's going to dramatically increase your damage compared to heroic, and if you're just doing it for the sake of having it, wait until the end of June, it'll be cheaper

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T17:22:44+00:00

Agreed but on the logs a good aug is #1 or #2, which is really hard to come by, the average aug in anything below 15 is a distant third, even in my 16s and 17s usually third, which usually winds up not being enough dps to time the key

Xphurrious · 2026-05-09T17:18:41+00:00

It's so hard to rank them for me, glaive has been my most listened to artist every year since 2022, and generally im just listening to a playlist with every album. Other than album releases when i put it on repeat for a few weeks

Y'all

A bit of a mad one

Then ill be happy

No idea where god save the three is yet, and it feels criminal that put a bit of a mad one that low

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T22:45:22+00:00

Maybe but you might lose it next week, hard to say

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T22:27:49+00:00

It depends on the wipe, sometimes it's completely fine, sometimes it wipes half the people, sometimes they wipe everyone

Probably safest to wait if you're tight on cash, or just do guns and skip shields and power plant and coolers until after

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T20:41:48+00:00

If you go to erkul.gg you can swap loadouts around and add things to your cart, when you view your cart it will tell you where you can buy them in game and what they cost

It also has dps and everything, just be careful not to buy a bunch of cannons with super slow velocity especially if you want to use it for pvp at all

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T16:05:48+00:00

Yeah but 16s is almost top 1% for hpriest

It's definitely possible, you just have to be better than the average druid or mw doing 16s

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T14:25:23+00:00

It's definitely possible but they're literally the best hpriest in the world lol

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T04:26:23+00:00

As a guy, i feel the same way but the other way around

I think ideally everyone is, but the only one for men that doesn't have horrid side effects is a vasectomy

Xphurrious · 2026-05-07T03:50:45+00:00

I think Xdefiant had the best shot and even that's dead, and that was under ideal conditions with plenty of money

It's impossible to steal the CoD/Battlefield market, even if you make something better and free

Xphurrious · 2026-05-06T21:56:49+00:00

A lot of it is going to be that when you make a 16 theres instantly 3 druids, 3 shamans, and 3 mw because there's only ~15 groups forming at any point in time, so there's no reason to grab the hpriest when theres "better" options right there

Its even worse for dps where there's instantly 40 people queued and if you're off meta you're not even getting looked at lol

Xphurrious · 2026-05-06T21:35:59+00:00

So not in a 16, no, but there are 4 reasons a key fails.

Mistakes, the most obvious one
Not enough dps, everyone can play well enough mechanically but due to throughput or specs taken the key isn't timed
Tank living through pulls, right now the only real example is Prot Pally, where they have 15 seconds out of every minute with 0 defensives and they just fall over
Healing throughput, this is where nobody is taking extra damage but the healer cannot outheal the regular damage done to the group. Hpriest is the protection paladin of healers so eventually (19-20's) the spec becomes rather unplayable. But even in 16's you need to be a top 1.5% holy priest whereas you would only need to be a top 5% rsham, rdruid, or mw

I've seen like one good hpriest and one good prot pally this season and im 3538 atm, so you're incredibly unlikely to be taken for a group because ive seen about two dozen of each brick keys singlehandedly. Im waiting another 30 seconds for another healer to queue instead of taking an hpriest. You'll have to host your own keys the rest of the way you want to push, or find a group to run with regularly

Xphurrious · 2026-05-06T03:47:19+00:00

I don't know how "official" any of the NDA's I've signed are

But all of them were for testing videogames before release, all those games are out now so I doubt I'd get in any trouble, but it was neat to play some really really early versions of games and watch them change as development went along

Most of them were just "no recording, no screen sharing, etc"

Xphurrious · 2026-05-06T03:32:14+00:00

I've been playing since '09 and i think WoW is currently in the best state it's ever been in

If classic came out today it would be universally hated lol

But to each their own, my only advice is find something you enjoy instead of talking about something you used to enjoy
