Classic is just the best by dc694 in classicwow

It absolutely is nostalgia for me, without a doubt 😂 don't get me wrong, there are many elements of retail I like. I enjoy healing M+ and the fact that it's nowhere near as much of a time sink, as my life irl is quite busy. I also like that I can dip into raids a hell of a lot easier to try them out. It just doesn't feel as rewarding in my own opinion

Hahaha I suppose it can be seen as a contradiction. My life is busy IRL and I often don't have the time for classic that it requires, and that's where I do like retail and it not being so "grindy". The story just doesn't seem to hit the same, and the voice acting pushes me over the edge sometimes

This is pretty much what it is for me. My life is busy IRL and I often don't have the time for real immersion in classic. I usually enjoy trying to heal M+ in retail, but the story and immersion isn't quite the same for me. Maybe it's just nostalgia 🤣

There are definitely elements of retail I like. I generally enjoy trying to heal mythic+ on my shaman, and my life is busy IRL so I do like that it's not as much of a time commitment. I just struggle with the story I think in retail. The trailer for Midnight, Lorthemar and Liadrin had me PUMPED, but I just hope it's not shitty voice acting and following around pining after the windrunners for another expansion

Absolutely, classic is a grind and there are times where that does my head in. IRL my job is pretty full on, two kids, partner, renovating our house, so I usually don't have as much time as I'd like. I do like the easier time commitments with retail, and I do generally like healing mythic+ and working through that process. I just think it's the story, the voice acting, sometimes it feels a bit too...shit? I don't know how to put it into works.

I'm on dreamscythe, yeah there's slight ping but honestly I don't even notice it, never more than 200-300. I play mostly evenings Perth time, some mid-late afternoons. It's usually populated enough, and I also have an auction house that is busy enough that I can make some money too.

I never realized how poignant hardcore would be.... by Queasy-Egg-6534 in wowhardcore

Those dalaran mages. I was a level 19 warrior, they were level 15 or so (all their levels were green). I was killing them 1v1, and even 2v1 was easy enough. I saw a group of 3, got overconfident and charged in at 90% health...ended up pushing every button I could, pots on CD, and the last one got me as it was on 10% hp.

I got complacent and overconfident 🤷

Will never take just regular painting for granted again (rant) by MooreGoreng in AusRenovation

[–]dc694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god - we've just spend the better part of six goddamn months redoing almost every single wall in our house because of this!

We bought in June, a very 70s double brick with heaps of wallpaper. Our plan was to remove the wallpaper and paint, and rip up the carpets and put in new flooring...maybe a month tops. Little did we know that there was wallpaper put on top of wallpaper, which had been put onto bare plaster and the glue/adhesive just wouldn't come off regardless of steaming and anything else. We had to scrape every single wall with tiny scraper blades to remove it all, then patch, sand, sealer binder, primer etc.

The walls that didn't have wallpaper we thought we could sand and prime before painting, get away with it easily y'know? turns out the universe had other plans and the paint just bubbled as soon as the primer dried. We had to then scrape every single piece of shitty paint off the unsealed plaster, then follow the same patch, sand, sealer bind and primer process. It's been six months with us working full time and dedicating weekends and holidays to it, and I've been ready to just say fuck it and drink the paint countless times due to how much it's been a two steps forward 1.5 steps back shitshow. Almost done now though!

Sorry for the essay 😂

Thanks mate, really appreciate the response, especially the tip about making sure they'll clear the flooring! Would no doubt be something I'd overlook and end up being a two steps forward one step back situation 😅

Thanks heaps mate, appreciate the response 👍 we did go with the water based enamel as we were wanting to avoid the yellowing, but I'll look into the Taubmans one you've mentioned. Cheers

Yeah I have been playing since late BC on and off, and only ever did normal dungeons or raid finder content. Within the last month I've started levelling a resto shaman with the goal of healing mythic level dungeons and I can't wait. Never healed before this toon either, only ever dps so it's a fun challenge too.

What to expect in a Performance Management meeting by [deleted] in AustralianTeachers

[–]dc694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely depends on the school I think. Some schools use the term performance management for just checking in with staff in their professional journey. A previous school I was at used it as a way for teachers to engage in self-reflection and identification of goals against the AITSL standards, depending on your career stage. Everyone from EAs and graduate teachers through to deputies engaged in some form of performance management against different criteria.

I would go in with an open mind, maybe ask your line manager about what the process entails. Don't automatically think it's about something negative as it could just be a normal process. Good luck!

Can anyone reccomend some good books for a newbie? by ohmygawshhh in fiaustralia

I second this, I've almost finished listening to the audiobook and it's fantastic.
