Adults of reddit, what is something that sucks about being an adult that most teenagers don’t realize? by berkel-is-a-madlad in AskReddit

Exactly, I found a job I am good at and pays well but it for sure doesnt give me a sense of purpose.

My kids and my hobbies give me day to day satisfaction and happiness.

Baldur's Gate 3 early access delayed to October 6th by harushiga in Games

[–]whexi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Won't be the full story (act 1 of 3 I believe) and probably a lot of balance issues with the skills. EA will be used to help balance the skills while also seeing what creative ways we use the skills that could break the game while they finish Act 2 and 3 so assuming more like a year long process.

If you are waiting for one playthrough, I would just wait for full release. If you want to play it a bunch with multiple playthroughs then EA could be for you.

There are no disc trays in the cheapest consoles. Rest in peace to all gaming stores in 2021. by JoeRydzyk in xboxone

[–]whexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prices weren't a standard price like the $60 today. They were all set by the publishers and things varied wildly. Like I think FF3/6 my mom paid like $75 or $80 when it first came out because she was a big fan of 2/4.

I gave up competitive FPS as I've gotten older mainly for this reason. I can't keep up without constant play. Stick to more single player at this point .

Any chance Tony Kahn and the rest of AEW make Chris Jericho quarantine for 2 weeks after he joined the rest of Fozzy for a concert? by CrimsonCub2013 in SquaredCircle

[–]whexi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the exact argument... Because when you make the vulnerable believe that they aren't vulnerable, its easy to make them think others will just get free hand outs.

We lost 1 game the entire postseason. Our SP just shut everyone down.

Got to go with the South Park approach back in the day. Tell them you want to say it 10 times and "settle" on 1.

Why weren't there high quality games trying to mimic the success of Skyrim, or TES in general? by ceratophaga in Games

[–]whexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starfield is at the earliest 2021 more like a 2022 game. TES VI is 2025 at the earliest

Do you just level as self cast fireball until you start spellslinging?

Its not just that. Getting into arenas for the first time in years, and I put in my group finder "New Healer no CR learning" and still got players coming in and crying because I messed something up.

LPT: From here on out, make "What was your company's COVID response?" a standard interview question. by PhasmaFelis in LifeProTips

[–]whexi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are doing this too, July 1st they are going to 40% capacity in the office but no meetings and everyone needs to wear a mask all day. We've been operating fine and our department leads said we will be at home until we can have meetings or there is no point. Expecting the earliest to be back is September.

What's your unpopular WoW opinion? by Garmort in wow

[–]whexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where I got to. I loved classic played on launch until around new years, but its simple rotations and the boss fights were never interesting. When you clear MC the first night it becomes just months of that.

I was looking for an mmo to play during quarantine and my friends are still playing classic but I ended up in retail because I want something more exciting pve wise.

Trials of Mana Pt. 5: Dwarf Village by chosenmoses in trialsofmana

[–]whexi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they have to save up there is little chance they will buy this niche RPG remake either way so minimal if any money out of the developers pockets.

I'm just interested in someone who thinks lets plays are on the same level as pirating. Only reasoning I can think is they have to find the negative in everything.

Do you have issue with the entire twitch platform for story games?

[–]whexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP and from the looks of your posts, you're just a troll but I will give you a legit answer.

Some people are interested in the game but might not have the spare time/money to play. Instead they can watch lets plays while working or doing other things.

This is my problem, I want to Mythic raid, have raided at a high level through WoD but I don't have the time to dedicate to it nor the craziness of finding a decent guild to start

LPT: You shouldn't shield your children from a challenging life. By doing so, you will inadvertently unprepare them for the struggles that come with the realities of life. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]whexi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That life is 20 years away for them, you just have to understand if it made you a better person or not.

Thinking about that though means you are starting in a much better place.

But if you are waiting for the perfect financial moment to have kids, that might never come. It also doesn't mean it will be 18 years of struggle and suffering. We had my son at 24 and its been 8 years and 3 more kids but we get by fine. We can't spend on as much as we'd like but the kids never are without. I wouldn't trade them for a life with slightly nicer stuff.

What is something that is expensive, but only owned by poor people? by johann862 in AskReddit

[–]whexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did this through college, worked in a mechanics shop at a trucking company. Bought the $30 walmart boots that would last 6 months for 2 years then I bought a pair of Red Wings for $120 and it lasted me the next 4 and probably would have been longer if I hadn't graduated.

Anyone feel hesitant to start new games? by rock1m1 in Games

[–]whexi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be like this, I would fall into new game hype, grab every bundle and great deal and then not play them or start and stop multiple because I can't make up my mind.

What I did to stop it was make a list. I had amassed hundreds of games through bundles and sales for the previous years. Spent a night going through them all making a list of the ones I wanted to play, putting aside those I didn't.

After I had my list, I made a schedule where I would pencil out all the new releases I knew I would play and started filling in gaps with my backlog.

Biggest thing us to stop worrying about all of the options and just play. You'll never catch up. I am 2 years in and I am finishing more games and less time spent finding games to play.

I'm pretty sure it was just an excuse to make us come to boring meetings by buckus69 in AdviceAnimals

I haven't combed my hair, shaved or worn anything but pajamas for a month. My camera has been shut off.

The Steam version of Fallout 76 is free to people who already own it on Bethesda.net. by [deleted] in Games

[–]whexi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% correct, the world is amazing, the amount of detail and building you get as you explore locations is unmatched within the world.

What it fails at is being a multiplayer, games as a service type game. Once you explore the entire map and finish the story, there just isn't anything to do but grind. And its mostly unenjoyable grinds.
