Yea, her interest would be A) anything beneficial to her hunter and B) profitable on the side.

So, my wife is absolutely brand new to the MMO Genre. She's playing a hunter. I'm guessing LW/Skinning are the best dual professions for someone that has no interest in min-maxing? Preferably just craft some useable gear in WoD?

Uhm, what did you expect? This reads exactly the same to me as people in Eve bitching about suicide ganking. You're mad because someone PVPed you when you weren't ready? You're mad that there is PVP in a PVP game? If you can't compete then you leave. Or, I guess, complain on a forum.

Yea, frankly, loose skin is just one of those idiosyncratic things about a person. No woman gives enough of a shit about a man's appearance to care about loose skin -- being fit/healthy puts you so far above the "average man" and loose skin is a symbolic scar of a personal journey. I'm pretty...

Vit, Those accounts you're referencing are not "first time player" who played 225 ranked games and ended up 150/75 and in challenger. It's almost impossible to know for sure how many hours the Challenger players of LoL have played total, but it is almost assuredly far more than you're...

Unless you're a genuine 1 in a million prodigy, to be in the top echelon of LoL requires a great deal of "hardcoreness". You don't just, log on and play a few ranked games every now and then and up in D1/Challenger.

I watch MOBA players because they're doing something that I truly believe, even if I practiced for 10,000 hours, I would never be able to do. I do not think the same thing of top raiders. My perception, whether it is grounded in reality or not, is that raiding is fundamentally much easier...

I hadn't thought of this until you said it, but I agree completely. I watch guild's raid videos to learn how to do it, not because I give a shit about their accomplishments. For me to watch in real-time, I would want an element of risk. If I knew that the guild in question was putting up...

Draegan, I agree with most of your observations but not your conclusion. There are tons of shit people pour tons of time into that has no audience. Remember that girl who could stack cups really fast? Or a more common occurrence, some people are just super into model trains. They pursue...

To be fair to my hardcore friends, Wildstar had zero of the things they want in an MMO. Their three primary demands are: 1) Meaningful loot that isn't replaced quickly; e.g., FBSS. They dislike the moving target game of modern MMO itemization. 2) Meaningful death penalty. They want to...

Draegan, Xevy comes of as mad for the same two reasons my "hardcore" friends come across as mad. A) The MMO-scape has changed, and there aren't 100 casuals standing around EC tunnel / Gfay slobbing the throbbing e-peen of a "hardcore raider". The hardcore players miss this shit; the more...

I agree. The only reason my R99 friends continue to play is for the social aspect. Those that feel socially fulfilled in other areas of their life are exponentially less inclined to be "hardcore" in a video game.

Ubi, What's your gym routine look like? I have a fat friend who is concerned about losing weight and having loose skin. My personal opinion is that he should be more concerned about [random negative health risk of obesity] than loose skin, but... *shrug* I've been telling him if he just...

I'm looking forward to some studies in the future demonstrating exactly why catering to the "hardcore" isn't nor has it ever been a profitable business strategy. Eve is the most hardcore successful MMO and they've survived by very distinctly catering to their carebear majority. The "play 12...

I agree with the last few Khane posts. I gamedheavilybetween 14-25 and never once hid it. One of my first jobs was working at Hollywood Video. It gave me decent opportunties to interact with women my age. I made it absolutely clear that the best thing in life was going home, smoking weed...

I played R99 for a few weeks -- long enough to get a warrior and enchanter to the low 50s and do some small-scale PVP. I couldn't deal with it, but I played primarily sober. If I wanted to rely heavily on social interaction for my content, I'd play Eve. If I want to PVP, I'll play LoL or...

Yea, that looks about right when I picture the type of gamer that plays DFUW. I'd love to see random photos of the R99 playerbase. My friend keeps me informed of R99 server drama and it blows my mind that men in their 20s and 30s are so goddamn emotionally invested in a freakin' EQ emulator.

Dumar has explained with his blog posts as sources that men can whore it up without suffering but women can't.

It's just jealousy. People want to pretend they can make a little guild with their 3 best friends and accomplish things. They correctly identify that the only thing holding them back is that other people make larger guilds. Instead of doing that, they'd rather be mad. Also, I imagine a lot...

You guys aren't getting it. A red piller is having casual sex to impress the bros more than anything. It's a way of keeping score. Look at their fascination with women in their early 20s. Some redpillguru declared them the highest point value.

Don't talk nonsense. Humans are simple creatures and fit easily into clearly delineated categories. You're just not smart enough to grasp the wisdom that Antarius/Himeo/Dumar are dropping on you.

People are pretty dumb, Mist. I'm pointing out that Antarius has taken great pains to describe to us not only what income bracket he's in, but that when he rolls out, his game relies on it quite heavily. I'm not at all surprised he thinks most of these women are dumb sluts. If he thinks...

This is ridiculous -- are you really saying that women unilaterally disregard wealth as an "alpha" trait? If so, you are more out of touch than I originally thought. Strength comes in many forms, lets list some: social strength, fiscal strength, moral strength, physical strength... Strength...

It's not a huge intuitive leap to assume to assume that "people who grew up computer gaming in the 90s" are also people "more drawn to STEM" fields which is correlated to "makes substantially more money than average". Computer gaming back when this board was stood up was a niche hobby for...

Everyone I know (3 people) that play R99 are stoned 365 days a year 12+ hours a day. I couldn't make it more than a week or two before quitting. Sobriety and R99 do not mix.

Before the Red Piller goes out into the world, he "prepares a frame" that involves characteristics that do not come naturally to him but that he associates with being an alpha. Aloofness, confidence, slyness, etc etc... picture how any seductive man is portrayed by Hollywood and that's the gist...

These RP guys are 30+ yr old men stuck in the 18-22 yr old phase that most men go through when they're 18-22. I remember thinking marriage was a sucker bet and saying things like "just an institution of the state" "don't need a contract to show I care" etc etc. People enamored with frequent...

Have you just tried emailing support and pleading your case? It's possible that a support guy could escalate that to someone able to make a decision like that.

I don't know why he has roommates -- it's just another idiosyncratic data point that indicates to me he is out of touch.

He makes 150k in his 30s and lives with roommates, whom he frequently entertains with stories of his sexual conquests. I don't think he is gay. It's super weird that he thinks its impressive and a testament to RP that he can have sex with women driving a BMW and making $150k. I'm sure...

Recent reddit bestof accurately describing TRP. Mi_Pasta_Su_Pasta comments on Both /r/feminism and /r/theredpill are notorious for this. And a snippet from the same guy answering the "does it work?" question. Define "work". Actually, I think I know what you mean. "Will it get you laid"...

copy/pasting a friend's question to reddit I'm tired of the sorry excuse for audio I have on my home pc which also serves as our TV. What I currently have is.. well... utter crap. The question is "what should I buy?" Here's some points that matter. Budget: Under $350Volume: We have a small...

I think its completely valid for a wife to divorce a boring husband. Obviously, she should analyze the consequences and weigh them against her own values... but one of the responsibilities of being a partner is being entertaining. Are y'all angry that A) you aren't as attractive as Don...

Yea, the "end-game" in PoE is mapping, Atziri, or boss-running (piety/dom). You can't fairly judge the game if you haven't done one of those three for a bit. Also, as characters build out the passive tree and accumulate gear, they tend to feel substantially different in each act. Faster...

Humans do this, not just women. Your study that shows men ages 18-45 unilaterally find young women physically attractive does not prove in the slightest that a 35+ year old man is going to prefer a 21 year old woman to settle down with. Rofl -- out of my group of 4-5 good male friends, most of...

Good sex isn't their goal -- their goal is having a shit ton of casual sex with trashy women so that they can brag about it to other men who also value having casual sex with trashy women. They're confused why most respectable men find their viewpoint and lifestyle so disgusting, so they've...

I like that they do have fast travel, but it costs a fortune to fast travel with a full inventory. They're using cost to force people to do manual trade runs with oxen (and promote PVP that way).

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Phazael again.

Joe, Add me #eidal12345 I'm totally down to help you with your next Beyond guy. If you want, I"ll even pick you out a build and tell you line by line where to put points. I'll grab you some easy leveling uniques and once you finish farming Cruel Docks I'll help you unfuck any weaknesses...

Very good post. Agree completely. Antarius, sorry for getting some of those details wrong. I appreciate your candor in this thread. The point I was trying to make was that the body composition you grew up with was sub-par and its taken you quite a while to do something about it. Strong...
