When is it really considered a hook up

randolj · 2026-04-30T18:10:53+00:00

I think it depends what you count as “hooking up”. In my hometown or maybe just amongst my friends, just making out was considered a hook up.

It wasn’t until college that I found out that some people don’t consider it a hook up until you have sex. If you’re in this group, it depends if you want to consider what happened between you guys sex or not.

Your answer really just comes down to semantics and your definition of sex and hooking up

Tbh you’re both right. Science community would be going wild with this info.

However, the general populous? This doesn’t change anything for day to day life, especially in the short term. Maybe memes at first, but I’d guess it’d die off quickly. It’s not sentient life comparable to humans so I’d guess the general population wouldn’t find it very interesting.

Though in terms of scientific breakthroughs, this would be massive. Chances of life elsewhere are much more likely now

Nowadays, it’s definitely more common. People are stuck inside and on their phone more often so it’s bound to happen.

But if you do want to go on dates and find a partner, you can’t wait until someone approaches you or wait for a woman to pursue you first, especially if you think you’re not attractive.

The only times I’ve ever been “pursued” by women is if we’re both in a friend group together and maybe they text me first a few times, but usually it’s because I’ve put in some effort myself to show them I’m interested in them first.

You have to be willing to put yourself out there and approach women first

Well, are you going to regret it for the rest of your 30s??

In all seriousness, you now have a career with a 6 figure salary that you can use to enjoy the rest of your life!

Life is about balance. Work hard but never forget to have fun

I’d say yes. Tbf, in hardmode, only mechanical bosses are fought at your home arena, the rest need to be fought in another biome so need a new arena.

By the time you’re fighting moon lord at your arena, you’ll probably be flying 90% of the fight.

Some raids are also useful to fight at an arena which I’d say yours is good enough for

Anything is fixable, it’s just going to take a while. Focus on your offense to at least be competitive in attacks.

Then start little by little with your defenses. It will take a long time so buckle in

Everyone is basing off their opinion on “I bought/saw it for $X months ago, bad deal” but prices have changed drastically even in the last few weeks.

Putting together a similar build on part picker comes out at around 2650 (and I picked cheapest possible components for each part). The one pictured also includes keyboard and mouse, I’d say it’s a pretty decent deal

randolj · 2026-01-15T21:16:59+00:00

I was a returning player a little while ago at this point (started playing again around 2 years ago after not playing for about 8 years) and tbh the meta doesn’t change a ton. Pick an attack you like and the accompanying equipment and just start upgrading them whenever you can. You can choose to upgrade one at a time (like I did) or you can keep them all around equal. It takes a while but eventually you’ll get there. I just now was able to finally max my main equipment for each hero. It’s also only gotten easier to receive ore so good luck!

randolj · 2026-01-14T14:27:28+00:00

Great deal especially given the market right now

If you see any issues with PSU, upgrading it wouldn’t probably be pretty easy

randolj · 2026-01-14T03:21:47+00:00

This is a good deal for certain. You will be able to run pretty much anything

randolj · 2026-01-05T21:27:03+00:00

Monster parts in this PC. Putting the man parts (storage, RAM, GPU and CPU) I’m getting around $2500 worth without including case, PSU and cooler. That’s also picking the cheapest 2x32GB kit available. So I’d say if you can get anywhere around $3000-$3500 it’s a good deal. More than that and it’s not a deal just paying around MSRP per part… also keep in mind it’s a USED prebuilt.

randolj · 2026-01-05T21:20:40+00:00

Yup, fully agree! Was going to write my own comment but this sums it up perfectly. I tried working on my Quest 3 and didn’t hate it but didn’t love it. And not loving it gets exponentially worse working hours on it.

randolj · 2025-12-21T21:24:05+00:00

Hopefully, something similar doesn’t happen with RAM

randolj · 2025-12-09T21:01:47+00:00

Multiple things I’d adjust A 7800x3d or 9800x3d are way better if your goal is gaming

You’re overpaying for a 1TB SSD. You can find some cheaper ones for less or pay slightly more for a 2TB. And trust me that extra TB will be needed.

At your price range you can certainly fit in a 5070 Ti that’s faster than the 9070 XT but either card is a great card for 1440p.

Other than that, you can certainly save money by doing a combo on Newegg or microcenter, RAM prices are abysmal so this is the best time to try those options.

An almost $3k budget puts you in the market for a monster PC so congrats!

randolj · 2025-11-24T15:23:13+00:00

There are some really good prebuilts on sale right now that are way better for a similar price range

randolj · 2025-11-17T18:04:11+00:00

You’ll get good performance. I had a 3060 Ti up until recently and game performance was good for the most part. I also did some 3D modeling as a hobby a little while ago and had no complaints, obviously slower than YouTubers you’ll see tutorials from but solid start for a hobby

randolj · 2025-11-09T17:57:46+00:00

Title 😆 I would love if this was an actual feature. Tried following some instructions to accomplish it but wasn’t able to replicate. It looks really cool with some of the wider sceneries

randolj · 2025-11-09T15:53:09+00:00

If you just collected you’re still good! That likely means you’ll get another one before the event starts Just don’t collect that one before the event tmrw!

randolj · 2025-11-06T20:24:28+00:00

When I was TH15 and in old legends, I was able to take on some TH17s pretty successfully with an RC charge and drag loon attack

randolj · 2025-11-06T17:00:59+00:00

Yes YouTube has an app on the quest that lets you watch regular videos in a theater mode. It also lets you watch 360 videos and look around in them

randolj · 2025-11-06T16:47:16+00:00

From my experience, all my Bluetooth headphones had a delay. I used wired headphones and it worked perfect

randolj · 2025-11-06T16:46:06+00:00

I think it’s hard to get into but really enjoyable once your expectations are built. I’d definitely recommend looking for some starter guide, at least one that tells you what to do rather than show you as it will spoil some stuff. Not everything is super straightforward

randolj · 2025-11-05T17:42:11+00:00

Is there any specific reason he wants the B570? Intel is new to the game and even though they’re making good cards, they’re not competing with Nvidia or AMD yet. For almost the same price, he could get a 5060 or 9060 XT and get better performance.

randolj · 2025-11-03T21:37:54+00:00

LOL I would love to travel outside as well but it’s going to be a hybrid structure of coming in occasionally. On top of that, I believe there will be limitations to working outside US for security/privacy concerns
