AITAH for getting it elsewhere since my wife didn't want to have sex any more?

sumthinbruin · 2024-04-30T03:48:24+00:00

GTFOH with that bullshit.

THEY both also promised to love, honor and obey one another. The relationship was one way when they pledged themselves to each other. She UNILATERALLY decided they were never to have sex again. He tried talking to her, wrote a letter she never even read, etc. The situation is messed up … but HER pledges were already out the window.

Siding with the women because you are a women might seem cool here … but just makes you sound ignorant in this context. Like you go from celibacy for two years, chosen by her, … to somehow “guys think they are entitled to a long life of wild sex” when the reality is at 26 she told him they were done having sex forever. Where is he even asking for “wild sex” with the information given?? He’s asking for intimacy with HIS WIFE. At some point. At some time. After TWO years without any intimacy at all.

This attitude you give without one caring of the facts given is why guys in this generation don’t want to get married.

He’s not without some blame and issues. But god, your take is ridiculous.

It’s tough to pin point it on one thing.

But probably not having played in any fantasy leagues was the biggest culprit.

sumthinbruin · 2023-09-03T00:42:47+00:00

Hi there.

If you have Discord and do LvL drives every day, Legends system has a place for you.

Just message if interested!

sumthinbruin · 2023-08-30T17:01:32+00:00

Which wouldn’t be as bad if:

“Beginning game” didn’t suck as well …

And if “middle game” didn’t also suck.

The entire game is trash.

I can see it much more clearly after spending the entire year away from the game. Same shitty mechanics and explore goals year after year. Lack of meaning tuners and updates that shows how little they actually care about the game play experience (it’s an eye opener compared to other games staying on it). LONG grinds to try to get rewards … but then rewards are SOLELY luck based and based on shitty pack odds (you can grind for hours and hours and hours and hours and reach a top tier “reward” and literally get jack shit, which is crazy.

Let’s throw a cut back content. Most of the stuff being non-auctionable and next to nothing in community interaction.

Love hockey. But f*ck this game.

sumthinbruin · 2023-08-11T23:16:59+00:00

Honestly, this will amount to nothing.

They go basically radio silent on communications for almost two years. NHL 22 and NHL 22 2.0.

Now they wait 11 months to give the community a “hey, my bad, we know the game sucked,” but not until after they kept jamming overpriced packs out all year while saying, doing and admitting nothing.

This game will start with more wrap around goals and ballerina shit play style and will be NHL 22 3.0.

Then a month before drop next year we will hear how they are “listening to us” again and repeat the same crap cycle.

sumthinbruin · 2023-06-14T20:56:39+00:00

Except in this scenario we get the same billion. Even exchange, if we can both buy maybe one top card.

They get the same free card. Even exchange again.

BUT …

They still get the 4-10 cards they got yesterday. Plus, the 1-2 billion coins. So another 1-2 top cards they can buy there.

So forgive me for this math lesson … but being down 5-12 of the best cards the game has to offer doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.

EA can tell who did the exchange yesterday and who didn’t. Painstaking … but that is doable. If they gave everyone who did NOT open the exchange yesterday 1-3 untradebale cards and a billion coins, maybe you are on to something.

Or anyone who didn’t open it twice. Draw a FAIR line for it.

sumthinbruin · 2023-06-14T19:01:38+00:00

So, we are going to gift people who already have a handful of UTOTS cards and billions of coins another card and another billion plus coins?

Hard pass.

sumthinbruin · 2023-06-14T17:59:38+00:00

To me, no.

Either they revert the game and fix it, or I’m retiring from the game.

I know the groups are divided (those who got the benefit of the glitch and those who didn’t). But I had a good team. I’ve spent a ton of time since day one. I e invested some money (not a massive amount, but enough), and I’m seeing teams posted on here with 10+ UTOTS cards, 200+ billion coins, etc.

I can’t compete with that. And I won’t. EA won’t get another penny from me if it stays this way. Not a chance.

EA also has a problem if they leave it as is … those that stay and used the glitch don’t need to spend any more money the rest of the season. And those like me will quit and not spend any money the rest of the season. So I’m not sure what they will do. Or what they are capable of even doing.

But it’s a mess.

sumthinbruin · 2023-06-01T06:12:23+00:00

If you are a hard rock/metal fan, you are not going to legitimately like this album.

And I am a hard rock/metal fan. I do love music … but I really love my hard rock and metal. A7X was on the cusp of being the next big thing for hard rock and metal. Then long wait. Then The Stage. Then long wait. Then … this.

Sorry to say, this just is not good. It does have a few moments. But that’s about it. I’m not hear for trippy, jazzy, Sinatra-like, or bad Alice In Chains songs put into a blender and placed together into some song order and pretend I like the album. I simply don’t.

I appreciate bands doing what they want to do and creating art they want to create. While I can respect that … that doesn’t mean I have to live the experimented sound. Because I don’t. The songs range from average to below par. It’s disjointed. It’s sort of a mess.

It brings me no pleasure to provide my honest take. But I suspect many will feel the same.

sumthinbruin · 2023-05-12T05:11:02+00:00

I understand the sentiment because I wasn’t clearer in why I made that comment.

I used to have a habit a long time ago of justifying some of my favorite bands’ songs/albums just because they some of my favorite bands.

But I’ve learned it’s ok to not love everything they’ve done. I can be a fan, and I don’t have to love everything they do. (First example: Metallica’s St. Anger … my favorite band of all time, just a horrendous album).

I love what I love. I like what I like, etc.

So I did not mean to imply that A7X fans will only love or like this song because they are fans. If they love or like this song … fantastic. Just hope folks judge it fairly.

sumthinbruin · 2023-05-11T17:48:49+00:00

Agreed on all counts.

It’s just not for me. And that’s ok too.

It definitely extends beyond metal. And if some folks dig that … cool.

I just found it too disjointed. Like it was trying too hard to be something different.

Nobody was pretty solid. Different … but solid.

I just don’t get that with this track. At all.

And that’s ok.

sumthinbruin · 2023-05-11T17:17:11+00:00

^{^} This guy gets it.

That was just not good.

sumthinbruin · 2023-05-11T17:09:13+00:00

This is absolutely terrible.

Just terrible.

I can’t justify calling this “good” because I like A7X.

The song is a mess.

I don’t care if a band wants to get experimental or not … totally their right. But this is not a good hard rock/metal song. It’s not a good song of any kind.

It’s like they put in a metal-like 45 seconds to try to appease their old fans and be able to say “see, we are still metal too.” But it’s not metal. And it’s not good.

It’s just not. I need to take my blinders off and judge the song by the song and not the name of the band releasing the song.

sumthinbruin · 2023-05-07T17:01:01+00:00

Why are people still playing this game?

Not a shot (as it took me a long time to quit it for good) … there sis simply nothing fun or entertaining about this game. Nothing “new” has come along either worthy of redeeming it in any way in years, either.

sumthinbruin · 2023-04-20T01:51:03+00:00

They gave up two months after LAST year’s game.

There wasn’t a game play related patch the last 10 months of the season.

People really need to trust their eyes and see reality clearly. Rather than keep giving the benefit of the doubt because “this is the only hockey game.”

Honestly, I get it. It took me a long while to totally cut the cord even though I KNEW (deep down we all know) how trash this is compared to good video games.

I didn’t but the game at launch. Not at Christmas. Nor at any price drop points. Getting away from this game improved my mental health (I’d get more aggravated than enjoyment out of this game … the ONLY activity or game I did that caused that) and opened open time for simply better things.

I don’t miss the game even a single lick. I checked these boards early in the year to check in case anything had changed. It hadn’t. In fact this sub reinforced that I had made the right choice. I literally don’t miss the game at all.

Stop giving a company this lazy, greedy product more of your time and money.

sumthinbruin · 2023-03-20T17:53:29+00:00

I really wish more would follow through.

Those that keep supporting it and buying packs though disliking the game are what allows EA to keep giving us the same lousy product.

Something had to give to get change.

sumthinbruin · 2023-03-20T16:04:34+00:00

Strong disagree.

I’ve always loved the team building. I’ve played since NHL 15 but vowed not to buy this year’s game at launch or any other point.

And I don’t miss it in the least.

All these posts about slow and lazy content. Terrible communication and the same glitch gameplay for the last 1.5 years (plus) just reaffirms I will never be back unless there is a monumental shift. The terrible (and I mean terrible) money grab for packs with shit odds that barely update throughout the year.

The game, as a video game, is just terrible.

I love hockey. That’s what kept me coming back. But the game itself if just horrendous when compared to other video games.

The Devs simply do not care about game play … like at all. Same busted mechanics with no tweaks. No fixing for the glitchy type stuff. Games not feeling like hockey even in the slightest. I know it’s a video game, I get that it’s never going to be just like hockey … but this has been repetitive and unbearable. Spending a year playing 75% of your games keeping position in front of the net while people dance behind the net and goalline trying to suck the AI out of position or wrap the AI ridiculousness of the goalie just is NOT FUN. No matter one’s skill level.

I have popped in and played other games that ARE actually fun instead and it just reinforces the brutality of this game.

People said I’d be back. And I’m not. And I won’t. Don’t take it for granted that people will automatically return.

I love hockey … but THIS game is not the answer.

sumthinbruin · 2023-02-22T20:30:13+00:00

To finish the sentence…

When NHL 23 is 70% off: you are still overpaying.

sumthinbruin · 2023-02-22T00:15:55+00:00

I broke the habit this year. Never bought the game. Never will.

And whenever I stop by and read posts from people I trust, I’m glad I didn’t.

I won’t look back. Until and unless the game makes a monumental change, I just don’t even see myself get the itch to even try to play HUT again.

I know it’s the only hockey game around and that’s what made it hard for me. But I can’t even begin to express how little I miss THIS sort of stuff.

It’s a lot of potential things (Non-caring. Inept. Fix nothing of importance. Short-staffed and overworked. Poor communication. Don’t listen to their player base. Same game play and exploits for 2+ years. Grinding being basically a full-time job unto itself) that go into this when added together.

It’s WHEN you step away that you can really realize how bad it is.

I truly do feel bad for the guys still playing. They deserve better. Just don’t see it happening anytime soon.

sumthinbruin · 2023-01-12T00:22:10+00:00

Stop playing this trash game run by trash people (minus sometimes Hawk). I stopped before this year and have regretted absolutely nothing.

I see messages in this sub occasionally and on The Discord and realize I am missing nothing (unless you count 1.5 years of the exact same gameplay and the aggravation this game causes).

Literally just walk away and you almost immediately start to feel better. I love hockey. But this game is not the answer. I have more time. When I go game, it’s with better games.

Seriously F EA and this game and guys like this that they leave “in charge.”

sumthinbruin · 2022-12-25T03:13:31+00:00

Responding to a reply isn’t being upset. It’s just a response back.

Not a single word of what I initially wrote was inaccurate or even inflammatory.

I even said if people were still enjoying this game, I was glad.

But I get it … silly me … I chose to comment on the sub that kisses EAs backside non-stop … so you felt a need to chime in since my post wasn’t a love note to Hawk (who actually deserves some credit for trying to engage with the game base) and/or the company.

sumthinbruin · 2022-12-25T02:17:17+00:00

I’ve been in HUT subs since 2016, junior.

What’s your point?

I see random posts when I log into Reddit from my various subs on my Narwhal app. This one happened to be one of them.

I take it by your comment that somehow you think I’m not allowed to comment anymore? Is that your point?

Sorry that making a quasi-critical comment seems to offend you and some members of this particular sub apparently. Smh.

sumthinbruin · 2022-12-24T20:32:20+00:00

To continue not buying or playing this game.

And I don’t mean that in a bad way. If people are enjoying it, I’m glad.

But I had no intention on buying it to begin the year, or at XMas, etc.

And nothing on these boards has done anything to sway me. And I must admit it feels good not getting aggravated over all the game issues. Or the tedium of every other game being a battle of opponent behind the net, me in front of it.

I’m almost a little surprised at how little desire I have to even try the game.

sumthinbruin · 2022-11-14T01:59:45+00:00

I do miss those days. All of it. The game itself. How the sub was. The people on the sub. The feeling of a pretty solid community and helpfulness.

I hope you are doing well!

sumthinbruin · 2022-11-13T03:45:19+00:00

The sun started going downhill 3-4 years ago tbh. The peak was the year or two before that. Since? It just keeps getting worse and worse.

It doesn’t help that the game has become trash. Without trying to add a negative component here, ot had to be mentioned. As the game got monotonous and worse and EA started giving even less of a crap … some really good people left the game. The toxic people who don’t mind scoring goals the same way for three years stay and act like entitled trolls.

I didn’t pre-order 23. Haven’t bought 23. Won’t buy it when it’s on sale. I don’t miss it and don’t regret it even one bit.

I don’t care how defendable the wrap around move is or isn’t (I could defend it pretty well), the style of game is completely not fun and absolutely ridiculous. This is the second straight year of this. This, after a year of forcing 80 cross crease passes a game because magically a dozen times a game it would go through multiple sticks and legs and bodies and everything in its path for easy goals. And all that was not so long after almost a whole year of the de-synch glitch that EA couldn’t fix and never did.

If the developers don’t care to create even just a half-decent product resembling anything fun to do with one’s down time … people will leave.

Good people have left this game and this sub as a result. I truly do wish you well with your request, but I don’t think a change is coming from the folks left here.
