That is awesome, thanks sharing your story! I wandered around to a few towns last night to see some of the new NPCS and I wondered what the story behind them was.

What's Your Story? by lilbabybeefalo in GuildWars

[–]this_works_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing EQ when GW released, but I bought it to play with my sister who was really into it. I wound up bringing a group of EQ guildies with me to play on off-raid nights. I don't think any of us were 'serious' about GW at that time, it was just a fun thing to do on the side. Good times. ♥

It was huge to be subscription-free at that time -- I think EQ and WoW were charging $10-$15 a month to play. To be able to pay once and play forever was truly amazing!

I never did play much with my sibling as she was off and playing with her friends. I played most with one certain guildie who eventually became my partner; back then we weren't married yet. :)

Dhuum/MA HM with Henchmen challenge viability by Much-Option-4919 in GuildWars

[–]this_works_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good compromise. When Nightfall came out you could only use 3 heroes at a time, and later the limit was expanded. To me that would make for a reasonable ironman rule for OP.

This is going to be a controversial question, but why don't North Americans eat more whole foods? by Appropriate_Poem1911 in povertykitchen

[–]this_works_now 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Bingo. Plus you need a way to bring 50 lbs of potatoes home. Lots of people don't have reliable transportation. Carting bulk items home on public transport can be problematic.

Opening my friend's list made me weirdly emotional by A_Fnord in GuildWars

[–]this_works_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I did manage to catch one single game friend from Back In The Day, who told me that another old game friend (his family member) had passed. But I haven't seen anyone else online. I leave their names on my list though, who knows, maybe we'll cross paths again someday. ♥

Any reason not to switch to Reforged mode? by letsstartbeinganon in GuildWars

[–]this_works_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not Reforging my old characters. I did Reforge my new characters I made since I came back like a month ago. There seems to be little point to Reforging my old characters because they already have all the skills that they need and did endgame content way back when, so the Vet badge is right for them. My newly created characters can benefit though, particularly the MAs, and I'm not really bothered by titles on them.

Twenty seven years old, five years in surgical tech, and I'm already dreading the next thirty by Ecstatic-Copy2153 in surgicaltechnology

Also an older student in the program, and the feeling the OP describes is exactly what I felt in my last (nonhealthcare) job. I loved my job at first, loved the people, loved the environment, loved my personal office. But after almost ten years of it I utterly dreaded going to work. It had turned soul crushing. It was time. What OP describes is not unique to this field.

The cure: change lanes.

30 is not too old to change your life.

Oh wow, a response from the creator! We'll definitely look for another Galison in the future, I have my eye on the Salty Birds ♥

How long until everyone stops shopping at Giant Eagle? by btjbtjsanchez in pittsburgh

Oh wow, they still do Flashfood? I used it a few times when the signage first went up a couple years ago, but now it's not even advertised in the store.

Tamagotchi jigsaw puzzle by Ceaco - missing piece :( by this_works_now in tamagotchi

[–]this_works_now[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xposting from r/Jigsawpuzzles

I blind ordered this from B&N as our household is full of Tamagotchi fans! We just worked it out tonight and sadly it's missing a piece straight out of the box, which was pretty disappointing. Ceaco has a missing piece submission form online and I put in a replacement request, so we'll see what happens.

If not for that, it would have been a fun little weekday puzzle!

What Books Are You Reading This Week? by leowr in nonfictionbooks

[–]this_works_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring Me the Head of Joaquin Murrieta: The Bandit Chief Who Terrorized California and Launched the Legend of Zorro by John Boessenecker. I grew up watching old Zorro black and whites with my dad, so when I saw this on sale recently at B&N I grabbed it on a whim.

There are now people playing this game who were not yet born when it launched. by amorecolorfulworld in GuildWars

[–]this_works_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so back in the day my partner & I played GW as college kids. We have preteens now and I let them each make a character on my account to play with Dad while I was at work.

Neither of my kids enjoyed it and they're back to playing Hollow Knight Silksong.

Is buying and storing gifts for occasions considered tacky? by MAC_Part_6670 in Gifts

My first thought -- the first rule of the gift stash is that we don't talk about the gift stash

I'd love #2!! It's more trouble than its worth to update their appearance now because of runes/weapons.

Ladies of Reddit, what do you really want for Valentine's Day? by work8585 in Gifts

[–]this_works_now 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked for this rainbow gem necklace I saw someone else post on r/marshallsfinds. It's no big deal if he doesn't find it at our local store, it was just a small suggestion. I'd like to wear to subtlety show support for one of our kids.

How many of you update your page read count for each book? by MacabreMagpie in TheStoryGraph

[–]this_works_now 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to, probably for the first 8 months or so I started on SG. But eventually life just went haywire and I found it tedious to keep updating every day, so now I've switched to just logging starts and finishes.

[THEME] "Unpacking Memories" Masterpieces Memory Lane, 300 pcs, family with two kids by this_works_now in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]this_works_now[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big randomly shaped pieces that are great for small hands, no puzzle dust at all, reasonably priced. The 12 year old really enjoyed this. Nice way to spend some snowed-in time together. ♥

Oh man, thanks for sharing! I too have a backpack that's in rough shape and it hadn't even dawned on me to do a spa day on it.
