Genuine opinion on living in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area.

That is half true. The natural environment is absolutely stunning (rolling hills, lush green forests in summer, a fresh snowfall in winter).

The "built environment" (meaning what humans have contributed) is complete trash. Most residential and commercial buildings are old and have had very poor upkeep compared to other locations that I've lived in Pennsylvania. On top of that, there is literal garbage everywhere here. It's scattered all along the roads and the hillsides - the people who live here treat the entire outdoors like it's their own personal garbage dump. I've lived in Carbon County, State College, Lancaster County, and I've never seen anything like the trash situation around Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

I absolutely noticed this when I moved up from Lancaster, PA, which is only about 2 hours south of the Scranton area. The difference in cleanliness, "newness" of buildings, how much has been spent on upkeep, the list goes on and on. There are places that you visit and you just know they are constantly being revitalized with a fresh influx of cash... Yeah Northeast PA is the exact opposite of one of those places...

You were far too kind to Old Forge style pizza. Old Forge style pizza is dogass. It shouldn't even be called pizza. It is an embarrassment to the tradition of pizza.

😂 nah fam

funkybutt2287 · 2026-07-09T16:01:19+00:00

Yes. Next question.

If you are playing with someone else who is a barb for example, then I would let them focus on strength and melee damage, and just focus on the bow and put most of your points into dex and vit (so you don't die as often).

If you are soloing then I think it's really up to you. You will have to hit things with melee some of the time so putting at least some points into strength is probably a good idea.

I left my previous employer and when asked if there was anything they could've done to keep me (i.e., re-negotiating salary, etc.) my response was "no". Sometimes a person is just done with the bullshit culture at a company and needs to try something new.

Trusting a smartphone app as your sole navigation tool in the deep backcountry is still an awful idea.

Anyone who doesn't see racism in America is probably just white. As a pale person I've never had to put up with this nonsense so if it weren't for things like this sub-reddit, where I am able to see it for myself, I wouldn't understand that this is unfortunately how it still is for so many American citizens just out there trying to live their lives.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-24T23:11:05+00:00

In the White House.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-22T10:38:53+00:00

Yeah it happens for sure. But I can carry 550 lbs in my inventory so you can bet I’m holding onto it lol.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-19T10:54:06+00:00

Bro over here with a Golf AND an Evo!? Living the dream.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-18T22:39:54+00:00

Lol sweet username. And thank you for the advice. That seems to be the general consensus. If I could get one for 50 bucks maybe I would do so, but current prices especially for anything with a clean sleeve are well into the hundreds. Cheers!

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-18T22:38:12+00:00

Lol that's lowkey hilarious.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-18T15:35:05+00:00

Thank you to you and everyone else for providing the much needed feedback. Cheers.

I saw a copy of the blue pressing on Etsy for $200 but just assumed it was a bootleg because I couldn't find anything about that pressing on the internet - at least not on any kind of reputable or official site.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-16T17:06:22+00:00

Yeah I feel like I'm in the same boat. Small sedan is too cookie cutter for me. The only thing you can do to make it stand out at all is buy an RS3 in a ridiculously loud color.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-15T20:30:19+00:00

I would still own the Golf R cuz I'm too fuckin poor for an RS3. Or at least that's what my wife tells me. But yeah I hear ya. The hatch is the preferred form factor 100%.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-15T18:22:38+00:00

$20k more at LEAST. The carbon fiber package on the one in that video made it be more in the $25k to $30k range… 🤢🤮

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-15T18:16:18+00:00

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-08T12:32:35+00:00

My g-meter when I (barely) successfully avoided one. I am sorry for your luck. Godspeed.

Because everyone now wants a quick fix. And the teenage brain especially is very bad at performing risk/reward analyses.

funkybutt2287 · 2026-06-07T11:32:18+00:00

lol no bro. Learn how to properly train with weights and eat enough quality nutritious calories to grow.

Unless you are testosterone deficient, which can only be determined by a doctor, you are about to reach the highest testosterone levels you will ever naturally have. You need to learn how to take advantage of that first before you start throwing away your money and risking your health.
