    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Everyone here is a poopsocker yes. But most people don't pick races to minmax. Poopsockers all do though. Wood Elf was one of the most popular races forever. Because they were cute. Similarly in WOW even assuming a faction balance how much of Horde were Blood Elves? How much of the Alliance was...

    I was never able to be a bootlicker. I know this has been detrimental in my career but I just can't make myself suck up to anyone. I'd rather be homeless. Fuck em. A lot more people succeed due to bootlicking than skill though. Just the way it is.

    Yeah they're cunts then if they don't. I got a spot bonus of $10k a couple years ago just for doing a huge data migration project alone. As we moved from one ordering system to another. That whole effort cost at most $2M for the company. Of which I only did that small piece.

    Nothing prevents you from making Linux stuff on the Mac. Its actually even easier than on Windows. You probably need a Windows machine for Microsoft native stuff though. I work in backend infrastructure and having a Windows machine has been nothing but a drag doing that kind of work. I hate them...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Ogres are cool. When I finally played an Ogre Shaman during a TLP it was absolutely wild that getting hit by stuff had zero effect on your casting. I had played Dark Elf all through EQ. Presuming every single person plays min max to the core is kinda dumb anyway. Even if minmaxing is generally...

    I purchased from APMEX as I didn't want to deal with vetting sources. It's cheaper to just up the quantity on their rounds/bars than actually buying their monster boxes. 🤔 Best I could figure just buy their APMEX stamped shit because they will buy that back at the best rate. Since they don't...

    If WoW taught anyone anything its this. Maintaining a deliberately cartoony or stylish aesthetic makes your game hold up longer. This applies to all games. 1990 Super Mario World on the SNES still looks great 35 years later. Zelda Windwaker still looks good 23 years later. WOW Classic, even on...

    I mean she can get all hot and bothered she wants. I always took it that the process to make you into a Space Marine or Custodes makes you sterile.

    Both Space Marines and Custodes are transhuman celibate warriors and monks who live only for the Emperor. Space Marine Chapters and the entire mythology draw heavily from Catholicism (not even kidding). They have the "Council of Nikea" in 40k and the Council of Nicea which was a real life event...

    As I already have a lot of investments at this point I bought a good amount of silver coins when they were ~$45. This was mainly because I thought it was cool and I had some cash laying around as, if anything, you just don't want to hold too much cash in general. Rather than put a relatively...

    Because this area has several oyster farms in a 10 mile radius they are part of most events. Raw, boiled, broiled, steamed, you name it.

    I really liked Defiance but it just gets to be total insanity after awhile and I eventually dropped it. Once it departs from Earth it struggles to maintain coherency in a lot of ways. In my opinion.
