    Everquest - Live Servers

    Tried to recover my old account but it got rejected. Apparently someone had taken it over years ago (probably someone from the guild i was in 15+ years ago) and now they have no record of me ever owning it. I'm guessing at some point when EQ got moved to Sony and now daybreak the old databases...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    Agreed. I'm loving this a lot. My group of friends (all played a ton of CS 1.6 and CSGO together) seem 50/50 split. In general we all like the gun play but half the group is pretty turned off by all of the abilities - especially the ones that are more than just basic utility like...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    The throwing discs were sweet.. pretty much the same experience as everyone else. First 20 hours were great, but then it got tedious and thus boring. I never finished it because of that.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    I feel the same way. I actually also believe their selfish decision impacts more than just themselves. Let's be honest, no one is a perfect driver and even if you are close, accidents happen. If i accidentally hit your car and cause some moderate, but not severe damage its an annoyance, will...

    Working From Home

    My old company had a huge team in Inda that reported up through me. This is pretty much 100% what I experienced. What was really odd is we would bring some of those 5-10% to the US and they would really shine. However, as soon as they returned to India they would regress. Their work is not very...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Why not solve the "wait for every cool down between pulls" by limiting "3 min cool downs "(or whatever duration you choose) to once per floor/major boss.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    It's like I always thought.. there's blue hairs on both sides of the aisle. Way to go karen with your "technicality". You aren't noble for not wearing a mask, you are an asshole. And great job being mean to the poor minimum wage guy that is just trying to do his job - you rock dude. Totally...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    Overwatch does a good job catching blatant hackers, but its not going to catch the good ones. For one, the VODs are at 30 tick or something crazy low so you won't see details. Unfortunately it's an arms race and the cheaters have a much easier job especially with the limitations on anti-cheat...

    Everquest Mysteries

    Yes I believe it was OP due to the way offhand attacks were triggered based on mainhand. By using it in your mainhand, your offhand swung crazy fast and if you had something that procs (Yak for example), it would go nuts. The nerf to make it offhand only greatly reduced its OP value.

    We are doing montesorri for our kids. First just finished her first year and we really like it. Tried the public school route but just found the environment was not great. We have pretty good public schools in this area, but it makes a big difference when your child is surrounded by like minded...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Everyone knows playing on a dead server sucks, so asking people to transfer off or start on new servers is just not going to happen. Maybe when wow was new people fell for that garbage, but any of us that played EQ knew already to stay away from dying servers. The one exception is if you have a...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    Game is a lot of fun. I'm still really thirsty for it and have put in quite a few hours. It's definitely for us "CS" types and not the "halo bros". Guys like doc don't seem to enjoy it yet summit is loving it. The game isn't for "everyone", but no game has really ever been that. I get incredible...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    Saw you online last night ravishing, i'll add you for games when i queue. Having a lot of fun. Im a big CS player so this is perfect for me. I've never been a fan of "halo" like shooters (COD, OW, etc) which is probably why I'm loving Valorant. So far the shooting feels great. I think there are...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    For a lot of us we don't like the "COD" or "Overwatch" style of shooter and prefer something a bit more tactical. CS has always been that sweet spot and yet valve has been really terrible at supporting GO (other than new cases that drive revenue). It's a good game, but suffers from some...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    I'd be down for some closed access. Love CS and dabbled in OW. Really felt OW main issue was the shoot mechanics so this looks like a nice mix. Been watching the stream all day, but with 1 mil on doubt I'll get an invite. Plus Tuesday is my birthday and im sure you didnt get me anything...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Part of what has bored me about WoW is how predictable blizzard is. Since Wrath it seems like they have gotten in the habit of releasing a huge time sink, waiting a few months, then making it super easy for everyone else. I realize why, but after awhile it just becomes so inane to participate in...

    Teamfight Tactics

    Item thing really needs to be fixed. I assumed when I didnt get something it was a bug and was pretty frustrated when I learned it was a feature. Other than that game is incredibly fun and they have lots of options for new champs given their pool.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I do agree that mythic+ being time based is a terrible mechanic. MMOs were fun because they were dungeon crawlers. Somehow blizzard ruined that dungeon crawl feel and turned them into hectic speed runs and its just.. not fun. If i want to play something fast pace ill go play a FPS. I love the...

    Job Hunting

    You're welcome! To keep HR out of my business i make my "required qualifications" as broad as possible. That allows them to weed out obvious people, but let through most. Its more filtering for me, but I'd rather take the time to look at more resumes vs missing good ones. I will say...

    Car ?'s

    To me a car is just a way to get from point a to point b. I don't want the fanciest technology or the latest and greatest. I do think that american cars are much more advanced than their Japanese counterparts, but all that advancement seems to come with issues. I have a cruze that suffers from a...

    Job Hunting

    The title thing is a result of millennials in the workforce. We used to have only a few titles for individuals (and each title signified the type of work the software developer would do.. architect, design, test, etc) but exit surveys taught us that millennials want to have promotions more...

    I remember almost all pallys wearing cloth during vanilla... seemed like each one had a damn skirt on most the time. Same with hunters wearing leather and warriors picking up a few pieces. However, I do think the pvt scene has really min/maxed shit beyond what i remember in vanilla and its...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think the mentality that "i make the money, i make the rules" is really shitty for a relationship. I don't see how couples act that way. Now, I have it easy as my wife has a great job and makes great money, but we never treat it as "my" money or "her" money. It's all "our" money. Most men that...

    SSOYs were still valuable well into kunark for most of the playerbase. I remember solo farming Lguk on my mage for them all the way through mid velious. Then again, one thing that made EQ loot valuable was that you could twink with it and SSOYS were ultimate twink items (with a rubi bp or fungi...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think people vastly overestimate their abilities to develop a toddler into a school-ready child. It's not easy, nor is it "maternal" to raise a child to integrate into our society. I think, just like any other skill, some people are naturally good at it and can perform the role just fine...

    That Ion guy is obviously some "vision" fuck who thinks hes just so much smarter than everyone. BFA feels like a "metrics" driven expansion to me. Someone came up with a clever way to collect data during Legion and they made all sorts of "unfun" changes to BFA to try and drive the metrics they...
