If it makes you feel better, and you didn’t already know, that didn’t really happen in the books. They decided to march to war on their own with no hesitation and no conversation about it with Merry and Pip.

You’re god damn right! Sam is the true hero!

Man, I really miss EverQuest. Wish I could go back to my teens and relive those days.

Very true. I usually binge videos for whatever game I’m currently playing.

I like watching Nilhaus play factory games so I can learn some new ways to better organize my logistics. That’s a big one.

I’ve never played Europa Universalis IV but I love watching videos of it.

God I hated that change so much. I only play 2v2 ranked with my buddy now. I never play anything else anymore.

There was no reason to ruin casual like that. I remember all the whiners on the RL subreddit saying crap like “I want to play a full match with a team!” and all I could think was, then go fucking play ranked! They like to drop terms like “not sweating” to justify ruining casual. Really?? If you don’t give a crap about ranking then who cares what ranking you are in ranked matches? Just go play ranked! And if you’re that mentally weak, then yell at epic to let you hide your ranking from being displayed after matches instead of ruining an entire game mode.

I miss having a zero commitment game mode that I can pop in while waiting for my buddy to take a dump or something. Now casual is just ranked without the ranking. It still has mmr, you can’t leave without bans, it’s absolutely pointless and might as well not exist. Let me go get my ass slapped by a grandmaster! Or let me show off to a bunch of bronzies. It hurts no one.

Yup, had a massive panic attack from gummies. Went to the hospital because I thought I was having a stroke. Got pumped full of lorazepam and slept for 26 hours. Full day of my life gone.

Glad to hear I’m not alone! I like weed, but the potential for panic attacks is too scary.

My son started saying “what the sigma?” constantly. I’ve tried to figure out where it came from and only landed on some “Sigma Male” shit on youtube.

Drives me nuts.

That’s what I have Claude call me!

I’m going to make the basilisk my bitch as long as I can before it kills me.

My son’s only 8 so I have no personal experience parenting a tween/teen. So take that into consideration with my advice.

How about the next time you’re watching with them, try this:

"I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential. I have tried to extend this same trust to you, but the constant repetition of what you hear and your inability to form a cogent argument makes me feel like your YouTube viewing habits are teaching you to accept concepts at face-value simply because they are popular.

If you will engage with me in a discussion on these videos, I’ll leave you alone and continue to trust you on this. However, if you continue to shrug and dismiss the conversation, I will have to consider blocking this content until you are ready to engage with me on a deeper level."

I know modern parenting advice tells us to prefer reward over punishment so if there’s a reward strong enough to motivate them to engage, go with that. But if punishment is a greater motivator, I’d say damn the modern parenting advice.

Moder was so painful. Queen and Yagluth were so much easier in comparison.

Working our way through the Ashlands now and well, what a frustrating area as well. Had to campfire like crazy a kilometer out just to be able to breathe for two seconds without being swarmed. We ended up going kamikaze to siege a fortress for a base and suddenly I can actually play for more than 5 seconds without being attacked.

A lot of Valheim bosses are only difficult because of the massive amounts of health. Without the crazy high amounts of health, none of them seem to have difficult mechanics.

Thanks. I’m a “read the silmarillion and didn’t fall asleep” huge Tolkien fan. I’ll check it out!

Did this game turn out great?

I was super excited for it and then some very early reviews made it sound like the equivalent of a shitty mobile game.

After reviewing the footage, Sedef realized that the bears always opted for the Anzer honey, proving they have very good taste. According to The Guardian, Anzer honey is “produced from the nectar of 90 flowers that grow only in the mountains of the Anzer plateau.”

This is pretty interesting. Considering Anzer plateau is in Turkey and this took place in Turkey, I wonder if the bear prefers the honey because it’s truly better or the taste is familiar to the bear, being in Turkey and all.

• Sports
• Linux
• Subs not in english (nothing against them)
• Video games I don’t care about
• Furries
• City-specific subs
• AI Art

• Niche music subs

Pretty much anything where I’m not or never will be the target demographic

Looking forward to raging while I jump rope at 120fps!

You’re probably right on the grand scheme of things. However, I find recruiters are a dime a dozen. When job postings in my area that match my skill set are posted, I get 5-6 recruiters messaging me for the same job. So, at least for me, I wouldn’t worry about burning bridges with a single recruiter.

I’ve been on the hiring end of those conversations before, and frankly I prefer it when a candidate withdraws.

This, so much, this.

I’ve done many interviews on the hiring side. They’re exhausting. If you’re not interested in the job, please don’t interview. No repercussions will be had and any (introverted) ICs that were going to be pulled into the interview will breath a sigh of relief.
