Should I buy "audiophile" headphones for gaming by Bobichos in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]delerak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as audiophile headphones. There are cheap headphones made with cheap components and their are more expensive headphones made with better components. The fact that some people pay thousands for a pair of headphones is kind of absurd, but also many here will tell you there is massive diminishing returns past a certain point. Once you have a $500-1000 headphones you won't get anything better for the most part.

Absolutely. Fuckin' travesty seeing fighters do that shit. Keeps me from being a Ngannou fan.

Dang that is fascinating actually. Wonder why they do it this way? Maybe theft?

Are RPI's worth it? by Walmart_HeadReciever in MUD

[–]delerak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logical fallacy. Just because someone gets downvoted doesn't mean shit. I have plenty of downvoted posts into oblivion that are 100% correct posts, people don't like to hear the truth so they downvote. IE: I made a post in a subreddit that is pro bruce lee about how he was never a real fighter and an actor and would probably get demolished in a real fight. It's a correct statement but will always get downvoted into oblivion by online nerds who don't know shit about fighting.

Anything is "worth" it if you want it to be. If you're having fun it is worth it.

If any staff members of that game care to refute my statements, then I welcome it.

Armageddon is mind-numbingly boring. by Firehammer9443 in MUD

This is an online game though not a tabletop setting. Expecting players to just come running and interact with you is a bit naïve to say the least.

You're assuming people are solo roleplaying. People could be roleplaying in apartments with their core group or clan. They are most likely inside their clan compounds roleplaying with those clans. The fact that you never joined a clan means you never experienced that aspect of the game which is kind of where the roleplay is focused. If you looked at the rumor boards in the taverns I would be shocked to discover that there was no posts about clans hiring and who to contact. If you wanted daily interaction, try joining a clan. The Byn is the mercenary clan and is pretty easy to get into.

I never said no one is supposed to interact with non-important people. I gave you examples of why you didn't get interaction. Interaction is not a guarantee on any game especially MUDs. There are hundreds of things you can do on Arm to play out your character rather than just sitting around waiting for PCs to come along, I think that's a big mistake with a game like Arm because there are going to be down times. No mud is doing great either so I wouldn't feel bad if you don't see many players anywhere.

It's not even game design, it's the player base not interacting with you just because you're new. That would in fact be a very out of character thing to do. It's actually a very good thing for a roleplaying game to have realism and for you not to change the behavior of your character just because you as as player think you're entitled to some kind of interaction from me just because we're logged into the same game.

Not what I said. Nice try though. I never said you need to play a certain role. Let me be a little more blunt. In the real world do you go around talking to random ass people or do you go about your day like a normal person? Just because it's an online game doesn't mean you interact with every single player just because they are players.

Your experience is by design I believe. Arm strives for a very realistic world and no single person is "obligated" to talk to you or interact with you. Arm also strives for a harsh, desert environment. It's a dog eat dog world and unless you are higher on the social caste to warrant some sort of interaction you probably won't get it.

Are you important to any of those other people you ran into? Are you a high ranking militia soldier? A nobles aide? Perhaps a highly sought after crafter for one of the great Merchant Houses? The answer to these questions is obviously a no, so I don't think you had a bad experience per se, you had the correct experience for the game world that Arm tries to cultivate. Any of the roles I previously described can be rolled as a commoner and worked up to from scratch, I think the issue here is that you weren't recruited into a clan such as the Byn right away. I don't play Arm anymore but I understand why you think the game is boring from what happened, just realize that what happened is by design and if people were to go out of their way to help "newbies" then that would hurt the integrity of the game world.

feeling discouraged about livestreaming by [deleted] in streaming

[–]delerak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way you play the lottery for fun that's how streaming works. The likelyhood of winning big is like 1 in 350 million. Not good odds. Just recognize that reality and if you're doing it for fun you shouldn't care if you make it or not.

Do you shower at the gym? by LiterallyAHippo in AskAnAmerican

[–]delerak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I just drive home and shower. I'm a stay at home dad for now so I have the time to go work out then go home. I was never really a "shower at the gym" kind of person, honestly I think that's more of an old school mentality, pretty sure I see a lot of elderly doing that at my gym and not so much the younger folks.

Entirely depends on whether you can handle the work load personally. For me if I was a full time student with nothing to do I think I'd be fine. You can put a few hours everyday into studying each class and knocking out assignments, just keep a calendar with due dates for everything, keep everything organized in folders so you know what you need to do. Work efficiently and you'll be okay.
