    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Outside of WoW bnet tokens I haven't really been able to make money from MMOs. Sold my EQ account for way too little when I "quit" and got it back years later after it had been inactive/banned for years already. Still have the original CD keys. Now I'm sitting on 5 million WoW plat and am just...

    Did I mention that in the week before christmas I faceplanted with my Redmi Note 4 in hand and cracked the screen? Reason to buy a new phone! Got myself a Xiaomi Mi A2 as well. Under 200€ and good enough for everything I'll ever do on a phone.

    Escape from Tarkov

    I've played a bit more over the holidays since WoW is somehow no longer interesting to me. Had a lot of fun putting scopes and silencers on MP-153 shotguns and putting slugs in people's faces. I'm still really bad at shooters, usually only see the guy after I'm either dead or limping, but it's...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    So I bought this to replace my "regular" OCZ SSD as a system drive and maybe I'll leave WoW and EFT on it. Enough free space on the old SSD (250GB as well) for other games then. Came out to 60 euros with the use of a few amazon points which I got for christmas shopping with their visa card...

    Oh snap I went back and read that. I shouldn't have gone back and read that. Thing is, I've either had phantom pain all day about that hernia or mr. urologist pushed too hard. Either way he said I'm too heavy (no shit sherlock) and asked about my weight in the past 10 years. I tell him the...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I took my annual prostate cancer checkup yesterday, since it's recommended starting at 45. First thing the guy does is "hey you have a hernia there, does that cause you any discomfort?" the fuck? no. how do I have a hernia and never even noticed it... then I rolled over and took the finger up...

    Yeah well that school was in Erlangen and while we had our share of idiots it wasn't a bad school per se. I just happened to be Chubby McChubster with decent grades and they needed a target. Mind you this was pretty minor stuff, but still bad enough to hurt my young self. No broken bones or...

    This right here. On the bully thing, I was bullied in gymnasium. I was used to small town school where everyone knew who your parents are, and suddenly you're in a big city and people from the other end of the county start pushing you. This went on for a year or so before I told my parents I'm...

    Dear god how do you people have your base so organized. Mine is a hole in the ground and it looks like a flock of birds shat on the map. Also, how do you do wires & pipes? Can I just lay them in the tiles? It looks ugly as fuck whenever I put up something new that runs on electricity or water...

    Hey guys, I bought this because it sounded fun. Well I fired it up last night and 10 minutes later three hours had passed. So anyway my bobs are lazy fucks. They stopped building things. Some are also freezing to death. Then they piss on the floor. Maybe I should build another toilet.

    So this arrived yesterday and it's a nice phone. Top build quality. Internals good enough for a standard user. Android One. Now I'm jealous. Why oh why did I buy a Redmi Note 4 last year. Xiaomi is becoming my favourite phone brand. Really nice for cheapskates like me.

    Well the background simulation is affected and affects the single player server. Same for powerplay factions and stuff. I think. Last I played was around easter. 2017. This interested me at first but I already own Elite Dangerous so why spend more money on basically the same thing right?

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Meh online. I don't really care. My experience with online modes in these games usually ends with me taking a bullet/arrow/axe/laser to the face from some pimplefaced twelve year old. Played some more, robbed a train (mission), found blood on the side of the road and at first thought nothing of...

    Yeah the 6yo had a fever and puked her guts out last week. Weekend comes, 6yo gets back up to standard, 3yo starts a fever. Hasn't puked so far. So last week I was home from work with the 6yo and this week the wife will be at home with the 3yo from the looks of it.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I'm not the target group for a Tesla (i.e. too poor) but I do consider getting a smaller e-car once the kids are out of their kid seats (in 6 rsp 9 years) and by then I'd also like to have solar panels on a few of our roofs.

    I need to finally play with someone else instead of fucking around in offline mode. There's a nice "clan" advertising "open groups" for anyone but I still haven't had the courage to ask them to run with me on discord. I'm such a hermit at times.

    Hah me too, after losing all my savegames. I'm 45, have two kids, a wife, and a full time job. I can't afford to lose my saves! I figure I'll catch the black friday sale every year, and even if I don't, €60 a year is €5 per month vs €4 per month during sale so... meh.

    You say that like not being surrounded by 24 random mouthbreathers is a bad thing. In that same spirit as noodleface, I can finally play some of my backlog now that I play very little WoW (only crafting cooldowns and the emissary stuff until I hit exalted). I actually bought games this year...

    Yeah well so we won't be doing this on a weekday. Bummer, but on the other hand now I have the chance to go to a real cinema, not the one in bumfucktown that still looks like it did 50 years ago. Nothing against that, but some movies just don't work in that cinema.
