  • Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

    I am getting a pretty nice tax refund this year because of being a student and all I can think of is how badly I want to spend the whole thing and get a fuckload of tattoos or even get my backpiece done but I'm a responsible adult and I have debt I need to pay down. :/

    I may keep a few hundred and get some ink, but I'd really love to just blow all of it.

      You can give up on love, no big deal. But, about that lightning thing:
      Bamboo shadows sweep the stars,
      yet not a mote of dust is stirred;
      Moonlight pierces the depths of the pond,
      leaving no trace in the water.

        Just lost another hardcore character on Diablo 3 to my ISP throttling me hard the very moment I ran into a nasty elite pack. And I'd just gotten a lv 51 legendary bow too.

        Thanks Rogers, you ******


        I was trying to get my DH 60 so I could farm with it as my Barbarian generally takes too damn long to kill shit. Yeah I could just switch to normal mode but... normal is for pussies (plus I deleted all my normal characters and stuff and all my paragon is on HC)

          I don't understand the appeal of hardcore Diablos 3... If you are really that masochistic, though, I have a suggestion for you: Make a big picket sign that says this:
          Will Work For the Experience
          Looking for ____ (kind of jobs)


          Assuming you want an office job, go to where there are offices/business, look for the nearest lunch joints. Set up before then lunch crowd arrives, then smile, wave to people, and look friendly. (Avoid the ax murder stare!) Hand a resume to anyone who would talk to you.

          * * *

          I nearly did the above when I was jobless for a good stretch of time. I actually bought some art supplies for it and started scripting what I'd say... (Then I got that phone call from that company I flunked the interview at ...) The way I figured it, even if it didn't land me a job right away, it'd tough my skin and get me to talk to people.

            As I said, normal mode is for pussies - you have to gear much more defensively in HC and it makes the fighting that much more intense

            It's too easy on normal when you can basically get away with glass cannon builds and slaughter nearly everything with impunity - worst that happens if you die is you lose a bit of gold oh noes.

              So if you die in HC, you die completely? Like have to start all over again?

                  Real life is hardcore enough; I like my video games to be a little less harsh.

                  I kinda wonder if a certain someone approaches his job search with nearly as much zeal and intensity? With the same willingness to start from the dirt bottom after an adversity or two? :b

                    Yes, that's how it's worked since the 1st game.

                    Thankfully in the new patch, any paragon levels you gain on a HC character are permanent, even if the character dies and you delete it.

                      It's normal here for people to refer to strangers by familial terms. "Little sister", "Big brother", "Grandma", etc.


                      Today somebody called me uncle.


                      I'm old.

                          My one coworker is driving me nuts. She bitches, moans, and complains about something, then when you give her a solution to help fix it, she makes all these excuses why "that won't work," or she just bitches about that instead.

                          It's not even 10AM and I feel like going full stab mode, someone come here and rescue me from this torment.

                            keep waking up with crippling pain in my right shoulder/slight tension in my neck and can't figure out why. Been off & on for about a week now and it's really starting to scare me. I'm in the best shape I've been in for years and eating a lot better so what gives?!

                              Does it go away as the day wears on? Do drugs/icy hot/heating pads help? If the answer to those is yes, it may be time for a new mattress or a new pillow.

                                Come to think of it, that could be part of what got me called an uncle. I was in a drug store, limping around.

                                Judo is a helluva drug. Learning Judo basics: "Okay, now fall on your side about thirty times. Done with that? Good. Now fall on your other side."
