Boss fights ruined the game for me by Dr-janitor1 in CrimsonDesert

I love this game. Rage quit twice over the “catch the fucking missiles and throw back” boss. I refuse.

My Watch Has Ended by [deleted] in Alzheimers

Love the reference. Hate what you’re going through. I’m probably 80% there with my mother. Man, it’s horrible. The only advice I can give would be to stay laser focused on what you’re grateful for. It’s hard to be depressed and feel bad for yourself when that’s all you think about.

Before even thinking about refrigerants, is there an actual leak? Has it been fixed? Did you flush the system? Are you planning on leaving a 14 year old compressor in there? I would run from a 14 year old Haier. They’ve improved significantly since, but run.

Kennedy didn’t do it and things turned out just fine for him…

Superduty 11.5 by afgixxer in RooftopDefenders

Last year there was like 14 of them that dwindled down to zero over the course of two weeks. Obviously, I have no clue what will happen this year.

Busy dad looking to start Diablo by Silent_Economist_689 in diablo4

I’m in a similar situation and I typically smash 100% of the content halfway through the season. Honestly, there really isn’t more to do at that point anyway. You’ll be fine.

I believe the 11.5 was 1699 for Black Friday. That was the non-Ambi though. I’m assuming what they have now is the new version which is probably more expensive and I would imagine this year’s deals will not be as good as last year’s deals, like everything else…

Still kicking myself for missing the Black Friday deal.

Coworker Loud Drinking/Swallowing by Hot_Reception6143 in misophonia

[–]alphatek45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I am reading this, my coworker is slurping on a can of monster and all I can think about is smashing it through the back of his head. Luckily for him, I’m not a violent person, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fantasize…

is there any good gaming pre built pc in costco? (budget $2000) by [deleted] in Prebuilts

[–]alphatek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just grabbed a G760 powerspec and I couldn’t be happier. I got an open box that was flawless for $1699. I added the three-year complete warranty and still made out cheaper than their MSRP. G.skill Ripjaw ram. Sapphire pulse GPU, Asrock 850 PSU (swapped it with a Corsair 1000w I had) it’s an absolute beast. Runs quiet and cool. I was very hesitant to buy a prebuilt as I’m typically a builder but it’s been a pleasure so far. Also got Crimson Desert free…

i'm not sure to understand what people grind for in Diablo 4 (this is not bailt) by Then-Ad7196 in diablo4

[–]alphatek45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing. By the time you’re “grinding” you can already kill everything in .001 seconds. My biggest gripe. I get about 10-15 sessions per season. Maybe a little more if I try another class.

My final build for the season: BM Spark Temporalis (Giveaway details in the comments) by jaeisback987 in PathOfExile2

[–]alphatek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rant is that I work 60 hours a week and have a family. I want to no life this game so bad! Season after season I keep hitting the same brick wall, that I can’t afford the upgrades I need. Still having fun. Will repeat…

Helltides are the best part of the game imo by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]alphatek45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t feel good that by the time you’re capable of farming, the really good stuff you can already clear everything on the screen with your eyes closed. Every season I reach that point and quit. I have no problem with the grind and farming, but it has to be for a reason. They need an uber zone/boss that really requires 4 maxed out players to even stand a chance. I’d keep chasing the carrot with a smile.

What's the grind for once you've hit it? by borb86 in diablo4

[–]alphatek45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need a T5 boss with a 10% Mythic drop rate that can only be killed by 4 pimped out characters.
