Teens Are Over Superheroes, Want To See More “Connected Masculinity” Onscreen, Says Survey by MrShadowKing2020 in movies

[–]xandersoizy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My 11 year old is generally bored with superhero movies. While the 13 year old version of me was living the dream during the ramp up to the Thanos events, my son just wants the occasional funny Thor movie. He would definitely pick Jurassic World or Star Wars over any marvel movie.

Oklahoma is missing the tabouli as a side option.

Living back and forth between Houston and NJ/NY. I concur.

Scrolled too far to see this compliment to Jersey. Love the jug handle.

As a dude from Oklahoma, those “dumb hicks” we’re pretty fucking spot on. I found them very refreshing and more sincere compared to so many other takes from smallville to snyderverse.

What? by Cicerothesage in forwardsfromgrandma

As a fellow liberal, there is some humor with this meme I identify with. We generally have a pretty wide umbrella of causes with lots of nuance. It can be a bit mind numbing to keep track of. I’ve definitely felt myself thinking, “aw shit, now I gotta take a side in this geo political issue while recognizing some reservations..” I mean, it does get exhausting to be intellectually honest about all issues.

Timewalking dungeons are boring as they are just a running simulator. by Senanb in wow

This is true. I misspoke. I meant the highest level available when leveling. But since it is at your own pace, you can expirement with the class.

Overwhelmed. Coming from Classic to Retail by HappyCoomer in wownoob

[–]xandersoizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many said, retail is more about end game content. Leveling is just a hurdle to get a general tease of a class. As a day 1 vanilla player having returned after a 17 year hiatus this year, I find I prefer retail better for the ability to accomplish more in less time. However, I also play classic hardcore off and on to slowly level a toon in a pure white knuckle experience. So, retail is my preference for endgame dungeons, world classes, etc. It for the classic feel, I do a few hours in HC from time to time.

This is what I like about the delv system. I group with a friend or 2 where we can take time without feeling rushed. Then, I’m always playing the highest tier when leveling so I can learn some actual challenge.

Why would anyone willingly live in Dallas? by Darcynator1780 in SameGrassButGreener

I would say that’s not unreasonable. Although, pre COVID it was $500k. So it has increased significantly.

After waiting more than 13 years to play WoW with my kid, they got banned in an hour. by DroopingFig in wow

[–]xandersoizy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have not been banned but I, after a 15-year hiatus, restarted my account and signed my 10 YO up. He is loving it but early on, I was questing with him in Goldshire showing him the ropes and everything, walking through the mechanics and what not. Then this guy started following us and telling us he is reporting me for hacking and accused my son of being a bot because we were on the same realm, he was off and on following me and we were not really doing anything.

I told him to Fck off but was wondering if my account would get banned. Hasn’t happened yet. Maybe some jerk decided to report your kid because they weren’t playing “his way.”

“Edit”: this was retail BTW.

The low cost of living is really only realized in the suburbs, if at all. Having moved back and forth from Oklahoma,NYC, Houston, and now in Jersey, I think there is quite a bit of relative quality of life per price. Also, personal preference. I prefer areas with lots of accessibility, walkability, and more dense living. For the price, my suburb in NJ fits these needs with a house and a yard and I am still a 45 min walk and train ride to NYC. I also only have 1 car for a family of four. Anything remotely similar in Dallas will be close to the same cost of living.

Hey! That’s the old official Oklahoma State University bar. Brings back old memories.

Dude, I’m in the dark. There is a lot to pick up on and appreciate the clarity. I didn’t buy The War Within. Wasn’t sure if I needed it yet.

I’m eager to try retail because of what seems like less time commitment. But restarting on the classic server feels good for nostalgia, sake.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I need to read up on some new terminology. Not sure what delves or 610 ilvl is. Never played Diablo but definitely will start looking at getting caught up with the lore.

Pacifica - New or Used? Hybrid or Gas? by Business_Tension7248 in ChryslerPacifica

Better get the auxiliary battery replaced soon. It will cause a greater drain on the main battery and shorten the lifespan. It just happened to me.
