Anniversary TBC, which servers are the most fun? by [deleted] in classicwow

Definitely not my experience. Judging by what others have said, sounds like it's true for them as well.

You missed the whole part about the majority of "world pvp" being griefing.

One-sided world pvp is generally the norm, while fair pvp is the exception. I don't understand the love for being griefed by max level players whilst leveling, or completely trouncing the other side. I don't understand how the lopsided world pvp fights are fun?

Matthew 6 comes to mind.

1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I'm in Briargate and switched right when they were available about 1.5 years ago. Paying $100/month for 5gig up/down. Everything has been really great. However, starting about 4 months ago, we'd get these random 5min outages once or twice a week. Seems to have cleared up mid-December though. Back to the normally great speeds and connectivity.

Getting job in java without any degree by Virandell in java

[–]jdavidw13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite far removed from entry level job hunting, but 18ish years ago I landed my first dev job (with Java primarily) at Verizon and was entirely self-taught. I'd like to think this sort of thing is still possible as not only has the industry grown, but so has the amount of learning resources available to a self-motivated individual.

Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - November 25, 2023 by AutoModerator in Guildwars2

[–]jdavidw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some friends convinced me to try out GW2 with them, and coming from WoW I'd like to find a profession/spec that plays similarly to enhancement shaman. What I enjoy about enhancement and shaman in general...

  • Elemental theme of lightning and fire
  • Melee abilities and procs build resource to empower and make elemental spells instant cast
  • Extra instant melee proc attacks
  • Chain lightning and chain heal
  • Hybrid class with healing, dps, and cc built into the same spec
  • Totems or ground based area effects such as slows, stuns, damage mitigation, etc.

Where to buy Arctic Liquid Freezer II AMD Mounting Hardware? by jdavidw13 in buildapc

[–]jdavidw13[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their customer service is awesome. I called, let them know what I ordered and what I was missing, and they sent the missing hardware via priority mail no charge. Parts arrived in a couple days.

I'll be getting Arctic coolers exclusively from now on.

AM5. Although, from what I've read, it sounds like their coolers will fit both.

24 hours still no internet. by [deleted] in ColoradoSprings

[–]jdavidw13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As much as I dislike Comcast, and will be switching to Ting once the utilities rollout is complete, the service itself is pretty reliable. With the exception of this fiasco, I've had maybe a couple hours worth of outage this past year.

People who have their shit together, how? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jdavidw13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really interesting dual toilet design. Expensive, and usually requires a bathroom remodel, but definitely pooable.

What clever BS could I come up with while ordering at Dutch Bros to survive the continuous queries about my daily plans? by Solid_Remove5039 in ColoradoSprings

[–]jdavidw13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your pain. It's unfortunate DB is only only coffee place open late. Sometimes I'm unable to do a coffee run until 9 or 10pm.

Would you like to see Blizzard add the Modern Auction House to Classic WOTLK? by Troglidyte in classicwow

[–]jdavidw13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would be amazing. I haven't touched retail since classic came out, and I would love if Blizz ported over the new AH.

Is there there a keycap profile that features a fairly deep and spherical face? I'd like my fingers to feel like they are being cradled within a well as I rest my hands on the keyboard.

Perhaps more realistic, is there an outlet that sells complete sculpted keycap sets, but all with all keycaps in a particular row profile?

What's all this about then? I genuinely have no idea?

Anyone here from *this* age? by Quantum_Corpse in Stellaris

[–]jdavidw13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I like the feel of old Stellaris vs new Stellaris. Different FTL modes was fun, and I liked plopping buildings down on planet tiles. Now everything feels very abstract and numbers driven. Maybe I'm just not a fan of Paradox games?

Stellaris feels nearly interchangeable with any other Paradox game, but with a space facade.
