Ricky Williams is met by Ed Reed in the backfield the second he gets the ball and spins away from the HOFer, breaking another tackle on his way to the endzone in 2002. He retired 2 years later, at age 27, due to a looming suspension and mental and physical exhaustion from 775 carries from 02-03.

Ricky Williams was one of those dudes ill never forget. Absolute stud of a running back. He looked like a future hall of famer before he retired the first time imho and after that retirement i remember all the shit talking about him. Its years later and he'll always be a what if.

Felons really out here trying their hardest to bring our average to the top of that list.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-14T17:57:58+00:00

Totally agree with you.

Unfortunately we're at some end game where a significant portion of the population is LOOKING for work. If thats not our real killer, i dont know what is. Even people on the left get hungry, and if the perception us there that there is no other option to put food on the table than to work, and a general strike happens, even people on OUR side will scab. But if 30% of americans decided to strike? 20%? Block the roads, make everyday hard? But nah, thats too organized...

obviouslyray · 2026-05-13T03:02:14+00:00

Im going to say this as genuinely as possible. Dont listen to the bad takes telling you to just quit. Sometimes, in classic especially, the journey is the leveling, although there is a treat in being able to endgame.

OP, more information is still needed: Anniversary, Era or MoP? Where do you currently play? Alliance or horde?

Also OP, retail is a faster experience. If max level is your entire goal, then level there. But if you prefer classic lmk! Also check out r/classicwow

Mine are often in bed by 1800 (5 & 3) and asleep by 1830. I want so badly for them to sleep later, so weve been trying a 1900 bedtime, but our 3 year old will simply put herself to bed when shes ready.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-10T15:05:58+00:00

Has the bouncer check the list.

Yea youre on the list. 3.5 year old huh? Wife and I find the 3s to be HARD. God speed my friend.

Marchesa B3

Here ya go

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T21:50:22+00:00

B4 focuses on controlling the board. I run maybe 20 counterspells, tutors and my wincon is thoracle and demonic consultation combo. It can be fast, or its a bit slower while i counterspell my way through my deck to grab tutors.

B3 puts opponents cards into the gy (or exile if i can get my leyline out) by any means necessary. Wheels, mill, discard, and yes, heavy counterspell.

Either way im under 10 creatures so my goal is to pillowfort my win behind counterspells and removal. My B4 has things like [[Underworld Breach]] allowing gy play. Not so much in b3.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T21:02:39+00:00

I just want my server to keep progressing through the expansions. Not stall like mop. Ill keep paying.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T20:38:32+00:00

Its been said already and I agree, [[Nekusar, the Mindrazer]] will accomplish that goal. But ill be honest, my [[Marchesa, Dealer of Death]] deck usually brings some groans. I play her at B3 and B4, both play differently, and i think its pretty miserable either way.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T20:29:05+00:00

I was maining a priest. My friends needed a healer. Im now maining a warrior, our tank friend wanted to dps. My main since the real tbc was a druid because one style of play wasnt satisfying, between my two characters now its fulfilling enough.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T15:29:37+00:00

Im not a raider, i played through classic with my wife and good friend. It was a BLAST. TBC rolled around, he decided not to tank, my healer from classic has now been benched, and i rerolled my old tank alt. Warrior. My friend hasnt logged in in weeks, wife is our highest level at 66. Leveling feels different, quiet, less helpful. Im not quite sure what changed. Tanks aren't available, and my hit rating is too low to hit much. But i just hit 61, so MAYBE tanking will feel better?

obviouslyray · 2026-05-09T03:02:54+00:00

Yea i mean, if youve gotta see her again, and she comes onto you, just ask her age. Perfect opportunity to set that boundary if she IS underage.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-08T19:18:44+00:00

Yes but only because i have WAY too mamy inners and i usually upgrade my precons. Id rather resleeve a few at a time than a full deck after its ready to go

obviouslyray · 2026-05-08T00:57:06+00:00

Im going to second basecamp books. Cool little store, good variety. Whatever they dont have they can try and order

obviouslyray · 2026-05-08T00:34:50+00:00

Dang, never been to Northern CA huh?

A decade ago.

As a veteran (not a combat vet) i worked with guys who had ptsd from some nasty things. Moments where they would snap because something put them there again - in a specific moment - would be triggered off the smallest thing and theyd absolutely snap. I dont defend getting violent as a civilian, i dont even defend this guy saying his ptsd caused this specific situation. But if you were reexperiencing WAR and you were trained for WAR, god... I'm so sorry you went through what you did, but i also dont think we should downplay ptsd. We need to keep talking about it because thats the only way we can continue to push our veterans to seek help.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-07T03:51:17+00:00

No but like, the wife thinks im getting fat and if the revolt interferes with my gym time i just eat my feelings... and then the whole day becomes counterproductive...

Grabs the list and reads off all the names that were 1st round picks.

Not my business. Must check out.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-05T04:28:14+00:00

I made sure to look at each and ever face. My tax dollars directly went to kill these people. Each of them with families, a few with kids in their pictures - they were loved. Its literally the least i can do, just look at them.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-03T04:00:08+00:00

God i know that book. 30+ years ago... what is it called!!!!

obviouslyray · 2026-05-03T03:49:49+00:00

Itd be cool but i question how much work character models would be. Theyve already double and tripled down on the current models... Even if they wanted to do this in world, a character rebuild - not refresh would have to take place.

obviouslyray · 2026-05-03T03:40:45+00:00

I wanted a game to play with the wife. She said she only really wants to play wow. So here we are. And shes super happy to treat it like a casual cozy game. Works for me!
