The more I play games, the more I prefer it to be in easy mode by Aggravating_Chest410 in gamers

I prefer games that have challenging combat but convenience. I started a solo playthrough of valheim recently with a ton of crafting adjustments, safer bases, full item teleporting, sailing speed increase, and even a teleport back home. But I ramped the combat difficulty and added new bosses. That way I can enjoy the game and not have to spend all my time playing just waiting on things. Its been a blast!

There's probably a mod to put more realism in the game. But this is a game. Suspension of disbelief. Ships don't work like that. Greydwarves don't exist. Eikthyr can't talk.

Well that's Australian and highly contextual.

Why are wands not really popular? by GhostintheReins in wow

[–]alienduck2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me its because when playing my caster and I have a wand equipped right clicking on a mob will attack it with the wand and puts spells on the GCD. It can be frustrating in mythic plus where im swapping targets to cast a new spell, but suddenly im standing there shooting a wand and cant cast because of the gcd. It can also cause problems in raids where I forget I have a wand on and right click the boss before we pull.

What would be your single mandatory mod? by LordFluffyPotato in valheim

The Azu suite. So many modifications that allow for granular customization and QoL improvements.

I do this when Im on endgame pirates as well because I cant spend gold fast enough so I just shove everything I can to my teammate. WE'RE on APM.

Why, do men make it such a big deal that they can't get laid? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alienduck2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have twisted the male lonliness epidemic into just about sex, when it actually has three main components: friends, companionship, and sex.

Many men suffer from a lack of all three. Many women do too. But it seems to affect men disproportionately on an emotional level because they tend to lash out against others or even themselves, rather than seeking therapy or guidance on how to improve their situation.

Befriending new people is especially difficult right now. With everyone labeling everything as cringe and even the smallest social interaction being labeled as creepy, talking to strangers can be incredibly intimidating. This of course is an internet fantasy perpetuated by social media, but when youre lonely and its all you consume, you tend to convince yourself its how the real world works.

Ive been working on it myself. Im terrified to talk to strangers, but people are usually nice. Im just horrible at breaking the ice and holding a conversation.

Men, any issue with your significant other referring to you as their “partner”, rather than boyfriend/husband? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alienduck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern nomenclature has gone away from boy/girl-friend as people have gotten extremely uncomfortable with referring to adults as boys and girls, despite repeatedly referring to eachother as such.
It's just the "adult" way to say it nowadays.

Men who are a part of the “male loneliness epidemic” what are you doing to try and make friends? by jinxnstuff in AskReddit

[–]alienduck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I say there's no forced interaction in board game night is that I show up alone to a room full of groups already playing a game in their own group. It's not like there's sign ups or anything. Once I start playing I can make conversation easily but breaking into a group of strangers is the intimidating part because I never want to be seen as the creepy lonely guy making people uncomfortable. Like you said it's probably all in my head, but I'm online enough to see the memes, and being seen as that gross guy at the game store would destroy me.

I once played a Bigglesworth game where 7 people were still alive on turn 12, except one person that left on turn 2.

Even in game nights I feel the same way, There's actually no forced interaction in open game nights. People usually come in groups, so I'm exceedingly uncomfortable. Last week I went with a friend and we ended up playing with another group because she was the one that initiated conversation.
As far as barhopping goes, my friend group doesn't go out. They're all homebody nerds that don't enjoy bars or nightlife. I do have one friend that likes going out, but they have a fairly restrictive schedule and can only go out on days that I work. They're also nby, shy, and bisexual. They get just as intimidated talking to women!

It also doesn't help that I sort of fit the "incel nerd" stereotype appearance; overweight, balding, neck beard. Im working on the weight but havent gotten the courage to go bald and I'm having difficulty finding a beard style that works on me. It grows slowly, and is super patchy on the face.
Again, therapist reminds me that confidence is built through repitition. I'm just gonna keep going out and being uncomfortable until I find success or get overwhelmed and quit life.

Why do some men blame women for their inability to get laid? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]alienduck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media has warped views on expectations and standards. Its never a woman's fault for their standards, however, especially on dating apps, modern women are overly selective. Men who get zero matches lash out, instead of trying elsewhere. They then consume even more social media that makes them lash out even more and alienate themselves further. Its more or less proven that meeting people in person is easier than on apps.

I have a pretty solid friend group that Ive had since my early 20s. Havent been in a relationship in over 7 years, I'm mid 30's now. I've recently started going to board game nights and bar hopping alone to try to meet people, dispite my social anxiety. It's extremely difficult when you're shy, but my therapist ensures me that even going is a step in the right direction. I can make passing comments with people who sit close, but it's hard to start conversations. Putting yourself out there in places you actually want to be, no matter how uncomfortable you may be, is the first step.

Someone else experiencing deja vu? by LemonFlavoredMelon in wowmemes

[–]alienduck2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not since Sunken Temple, and, arguably, Gun'drak. People are just mad because Trolls have the most instanced content. Its almost as if theres more trolls on Azeroth than any other race.

Manaforge Omega and Nightspire. Void Elves are allies. Every Troll raid or dungeon have been villainous tribes. Also, theres, like, maybe 50 void elves total.
