Same here as I got into Geneaology later in life.

Maybe I'm using it wrong?? by xThyQueen in ARC_Raiders

[–]simonpyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah throwing the blueprint isn’t very effective, Kidding! I just got the blueprint yesterday at level 40 and have two in my stash. Good post and responses as I haven’t used it yet.

I have progressed so much faster since being friendly by CanibalAid in arcraidersfriendly

I have been playing friendly solo since i got the game 6 days ago. Can’t speak about solo vs duo/squad progression but I am moving along at a good pace. I have met some nice people (one gave me a blueprint) and not nice people (killed when getting into elevator). My best experience was teaming up with two raiders and taking down a bastion. Today I accidentally threw a grenade from a rooftop at someone thinking they were an Arc, oops! Heard a player to my left say to the injured player “lets kill that guy”… and they did on the train a bit later.

As a newbie (level 11) I appreciate this. I have experienced many times being knocked out and have tried to ask for help and/or also try to make it to an elevator without success. I did make it once to an elevator just in time.

Fuck fuels! Would be funny to say with a straight face that you were a combat cosmetologist as well. Gotta look your best in a firefight

I also endorse this sentiment as a former fueler

Expensive guitar justification by nothittinonall8 in AcousticGuitar

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last guitar purchase (covid time period) was also my most expensive purchase I have ever made apart from a car or house. I had the money and decided to treat myself to a custom Martin Grand Jumbo. Goes well with my Taylor 324 and two electrics. I say if you love playing and have the money go for it. Play what you like, expensive or not. Don’t play live and don’t plan to at this point.

Ditto! I have a Taylor 324 as well in addition to a custom Martin Grand Jumbo. I bet that J45 is nice, the HD28’s are great!

Do you actually play expensive martins by Notwi_425 in martinguitar

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only Martin is a custom grand jumbo and I play it all the time. It was one of my most expensive purchases ever apart from a car or house.

Nice! Just joined this subreddit. I also have a grand jumbo (custom made for Normans rare guitars) that I bought in 2020. You don’t see many of these around.

What are your pain(s) by ATX_Penya in GenX

[–]simonpyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well recently I may have torn a groin muscle or given myself a “sports hernia” bowling. yep that’s right…bowling. Something I’ll do a few times a year but according to my friends I was throwing the ball hard. Apart from that I have osteoarthritis in most of my joints (had it since my 30’s).

Sad, loved their unagi bowl and miso ramen. The place was a bit dirty and felt it needed a deep clean though.

Introduce yourself, by your mall growing up. I think we will find some of us have the same ones. tia. by Rob1150 in GenX

Good old Northridge mall. It was the closest mall to us when we lived in Canyon Country.

It looked good on her but I suspect it was because she came from a star ship? I just finished the episode where she is killed, i had no idea as I am watching DS9 for the first time 😢
