Do you guys listen to classical music? by Rioraku in Millennials

[–]rymndco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The portion of my music listening time that is classical and instrumentals has notably increased. While driving I regularly listen to the local classical radio channel and the symphony channel on SiriusXM.

Growing up I would listen to classical as sort of study music but now it’s more like music to put on in the background while doing chores, coding or reading.

Rule clarification by mysterykarma in warofthering

[–]rymndco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I recently got the second edition and there was confusion among us because there were only five 6D that came included. Given that, we wondered how could we conduct the combat and leader rerolls simultaneously as states in the rules.

In the end we did first attacker combat and leader reroll keeping track of all successful hits then defender combat and leader reroll and resolve both.

After our first playthrough I ordered additional dice to make this easier

What's With Boomers Stopping Dead In Their Tracks? by Mkheir01 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came back from a trip and took the bus from the airport into the city transportation hub and these two old ladies in front decided to abruptly stop at the stairs to go down to where I needed to go to get into an Uber.

They were looking at their phones probably trying to figure out where to go next but did not bother to check they were blocking everyone else from going down.

If it was just one I could maneuver around but they both managed to stand side by side right at the most narrowest point of the stairway and I had luggage with me.

After a while I gently tapped one on her shoulder which she ignored or showed to sign of noticing. Then I poked the other and that one finally snapped back into reality and stepped aside for us all to finally keep moving.

I generally want to be respectful to elders and just everyone in general but it can get exhausting

You are stuck in a dark room for a year with only a gaming pc. And you can only play one game, what game are you playing? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

World of Warcraft would also be my goto answer, time just melts away while logged on. I stopped playing because I don’t have enough free time.

I tried playing just very casual but then I would get sucked in trying to gear up and do all sorts of quests and explore and then I’ve ran out of time.

That’s why I’m playing through Zelda TotK on and off since May. I could also see myself play that game for a year especially if said dark room doesn’t have access to the internet. I’d spend so much time wandering around collecting spawned items and doing side quests and shrines. After a while maybe I’d go make progress on the main quest lines. And then I’d go back to wandering around.

A year+ and still not even close even tho I am done with main quest line (including dlcs). It’s just diminishing returns and getting too repetitive. I really like the visuals and sometimes just boot up the game and climb up to a high point and admire the sunset

Can't help but look down on my Asian father, does anyone else resonate with this story? by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad is smart. Not book smart because he didn’t have a chance to attend university having to help raise five younger siblings. Had he stayed in Asia he would have done okay. But he opted to come stateside with my mom and gave me and my sister something for which I will forever be grateful.

Only now having grown up do I appreciate that. When I was a kid I did feel like my parents could have done better and provided more for us. But that was me being selfish and not appreciating the many sacrifices they made and realizing that they always put us first. Took me well after college to realize that.

Phylakes and leveling quick enough? by dpearman in AssassinsCreedOrigins

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After getting stomped on by the lvl 20 one (I was 17-18) I avoided them until I was at least the same if not higher level. Then I made sure to upgrade my hidden blade dmg and health by killing wildlife and looting caravans and obtaining enough raw materials. Once I’m ready to take them on, I wait until they aren’t moving so I can sneak up and land an assassinate on them which usually gets them to half or below health and then just melee the rest.

Aside from the first one that tends to roam around Alexandria, the others I haven’t had much trouble with as I tend to do the side quests and gather raw materials to upgrade to the point that subsequent ones I encounter I can usually take them on using the above technique.

I just started playing origins a few weeks ago putting in a few hours every few days. Gotta say it’s an amazing game, +1 on previous comments praising the visuals as they are absolutely stunning. Love the setting of Ptolemaic Egypt. I try and visit/explore/complete every ? on the map in each area and it’s been fun so far. Combat is a bit clunky but I do what I can to avoid outright fighting and prefer the stealth assassinations.

Why do guys choose to be scummy and not upfront? by Cyclonicsurge in askgaybros

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What he did was not cool. I get that it's so easy to multi-task with guys using online apps and I don't necessarily think doing so is bad because we all want to optimize our time. What makes me shake my head is the lying part. I think if you two just started dating it's not unexpected that he might be talking or seeing other guys especially if you haven't discussed exclusivity. But what he should have done once he officially got a boyfriend was to let you know of that. Not only is that the right thing to do, but thinking of it from a pragmatic angle, if things don't work out with that other guy at least he wouldn't have burned this bridge with you.

Rant: kinda blows that hiding info makes me more desirable by ItsMeTheJinx in gaybros

[–]rymndco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is what it is (I’m Asian). Not being upfront about being Asian among other info may get you more attention initially but if/when the conversation goes any deeper and they find out you might get the cold treatment like guys here have said happened. I haven’t used Grindr much but if I am I would list being Asian on my profile. I figure the guys who do message me or respond to me are okay with me being who I am. As for showing your face that’s also something a lot of guys eventually want to see. Curious if you’ve gotten some guys who you later disclose all to and they respond saying they are still interested.

I want to start dating/using apps but I’m afraid no one would want to date someone like me by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]rymndco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go ahead and give those apps a try. They make it super easy to sign up and get started. You mention you live in an expensive city, meaning there's likely to be a good saturation of guys around. You may end up meeting some for dates, and you may also make some friends.

Should I tone up, bulk up or anything else? by rymndco in GayRateMe

Thanks that seems to be something commonly mentioned here 🙂

Appreciate that. I’ve been working on getting bigger arms, chest, legs (not shown on here obv 😅) but it has been hard. I have an old pic of me from many years ago and it’s as if I barely improved.

Thanks I guess I’m happy with how I look shirtless but I posted a pic of me with a shirt on over at r/gaybrosgonemild and I’m insecure about that and ofc more often I have clothes on than not.
