    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Chaos, in all honesty, I think you're over reacting here in the grand scheme of things. You mentioned this yourself that you have to look at it from a different point of view in case you're thinking wrong. Before I say anything else, please let me point out that I think your situation is shitty...

    Home Improvement

    Got some work in this weekend. Framed my front window, put in a new stool and apron. That was a fucking bitch that took me like 3 hours to do. It was a real hack job, but no one will ever know. Looks perfect. Then I installed all new trim on the floor and put in the horizontal pieces for my...

    Guild Wars 2

    Quest and Hearts both accomplish the same things, give you a reason to kill shit or do shit to get you to travel through the map and get experience and levels. Hearts do it better than quests in my opinion only if at a minimum it's different. I hate questing, it's just a laundry list of shit you...

    Guild Wars 2

    Dunno about WOW's quests these days, but I still hate having to pick up quests and doing a list of them, even if they are 2 or 3 in phases. I liked GW2 combat better than Wildstar because I really don't like telegraphs. I like how in GW2 I can "autoattack" one of my attacks. Just the little...

    Guild Wars 2

    Hearts >>>> Quests in my opinion. The less clicking and collecting "!"s I have to do the better. I like going across the map doing shit and not have to worry about shit. I think the combat in GW2 was very well done, better than Wildstar imo. I agree with the rest though.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    If you sell $1000 worth of food, you are probably earning about $170 in tips. In a lot of places, you're tipping out 1% of sales to the bartender, food runner, busboys. This essentially drops your earnings to 70%. Some places have you tip out 10% of your tips to each of the listed people. So if...

    I would probably tip 10% if it's not full service and only partial service.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm assuming you're not married or have a long term girlfriend. Because this sounds like some bullshit from a guy who has never lived with a woman for any period of time.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Did she breast feed? Those hormones from pregnancy get morphed into a different flavor of crazy during breast feeding. My wife went through that up until she weened at 14 months.

    Not at all. I'm just saying it's not a unique to servers nor is it the most severe case of tax evasion across the spectrum. To use tax evasion as a reason to speak against tipping, it's just stupid. Most people continue to use services and by products from many companies that perform tax evasion...

    Heroes of the Storm

    The game is essentially WOW battlegrounds where everyone has the same gear but different talent points. If you liked that, you'll probably at least enjoy the game for a short amount of time.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My wife does the same thing, but she's easing off a bit. She usually cooks now (I used to do it all the time). But we have a good balance. She cooks, and I do the dishes. We both share the laundry. The other chores are kind of shared now. We're in a pretty good rhythm. edit: She used to...

    Guild Wars 2

    The way GW2 is set up, there are no repercussions to something being OP. And if your balancing cycle is good enough, then it won't be OP for long. MMO dev teams suck at this though. They try to perfect things on internal servers but are typically retarded when it comes to class balance. I have...

    Guild Wars 2

    Trinity is not asking for WOW, it's a standard video game trope. People want a Gear Treadmill at the very least, but still it's a standard video game trope. You have a character, you constantly want to make them more powerful. It's in like every video game made ever. That's just not WOW...

    Guild Wars 2

    Revolving meta is essentially a game that is constant flux which keeps people playing. There is a reason why WOW subs or WOW traffic spikes the most right before an expansion. People come back to check out all the new class specs. The best example of this is League of Legends. Riot is constantly...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    A woman's hormones are all over the fucking place in the first trimester. There are some times where you have a huge surge in happy harmones that makes life so much better. In the end of the 2nd through the 3rd trimester your wife is going to start nesting. This will result in a 500 mile long...

    Guild Wars 2

    Who said the game should be more like WOW. You think because people like Tank/DPS(Utility)/Healing they automatically want WOW? That's the only way I can see you interpreting that.

    Archeage

    I'm not THAT worried about it. The game has been baking in other countries for years now and Trion has the advantage of hindsight. Hopefully they have smart people seeing how the game played out in a live environment in KR/RU. But the potential for failure is still there, I just don't think...

    You're being pretty fucking obtuse, and you should probably spend time reading what people are saying against GW2. Almost everyone here loves the heart system. Almost everyone here loves the combat system (though the combo system they hyped up was incredibly disappointing). Almost everyone here...

    Guild Wars 2

    The events are a cool thing for the game. I like the idea behind them. I love the heart/event system they have in the game. But the problem with GW2 is that they utterly failed to build a game around all of that. The story line is something that keeps people logging in only if there are other...

    Guild Wars 2

    Anytime someone is a fanboy of a game, and someone else says something about the game they always say, "We know you like WOW" or "Go back to playing WOW" or whatever other variation. The problem with this statement is that the majority of people here don't even play WOW any more; and some for a...

    Sure but you're adding 25? on every item. That's a deathcap for hps. Would be a fun gimmicky build for vlads W with some warmogs.

    League Of Legends

    Do you really think they are going to keep the Ancient Golem's +25% bonus health that is currently on the PBE? That would be fun on someone like Vlad. Too bad everyone else on that item is useless for non-junglers and Vlad isn't a jungler.

    Actually, the proper term is "thatching" your lawn. Dethatching is not a thing.

    That's the point. If you can run a restaurant and charge a much higher price point on your food, you're more likely going to be able to pay your waiters a wage instead of tips, but you lose a lot of money. Case in point, if your typical Friday's or whatever commercial restaurant would have to...

    Oh good, you found an article on Marketwatch. That pretty much validates everything in the world. So much research was done in writing that. It's not like some of the most expensive restaurants in some of the most wealthy cities in the US are not overpriced at all. I would imagine a Captain...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    In retail/sales some places offer commission or sales bonuses. There are plenty of places in malls that ask you if someone specific helped you out. They often get credit/bonuses based on sales and customer service. So tipping them would be stupid because they get paid based on if you buy a...

    I'm not a world traveler, but I'm going to look up a bunch of cities to see what their tipping habits are: 1) London: 10-15% -Tipping in London - Traveller Information - visitlondon.com 2) Paris/France: 15% service charge is added to your bill. It is also recommended you leave an additional...

    No it's not wrong. If you assume 20% tips and a plate cost $20; in a shift to a tipless world the extra $4 you would tack on to that plate would not pay for the 5-8 times increase to labor for the front of your house. I've already explained where those additional costs come from. A business...

    This whole "fucking over their employees" and other rationale you have going on is a completely weird infatuation. Why do you feel it odd that instead of increased food costs you have to tip based on performance. I don't really care about some unofficial ted talk someone found, I'm talking about...
