Bro, do you even IRL?

I wish Job 3.4 would stop nerfing the free time add on.

Note to self: Alcoholic drinks DO NOT regen health!

I have to disagree. I was using some lvl25 Long Island Ice Tea and got run over by a taxi one night. It had increased my health regen to the point that I didn't even have a bruise in the morning.

Wishing I could harvest all the nirnroot in my yard instead of hiring Truegreen to spray for dandelions.

My parents do not know anything about computers and gaming, but they are happy to call me a 'noob' whenever a chance appears.

I use the term "gank" like people outside the game know what that means. Most people understand from context, but look at me funny for ganking the last pizza slice.

I do not have the quick wit to keep up with all of you, but I wanted to tell you I believe this is the best post I have ever read on any forum anywhere. Ever.

what happened in 2009?

Probably got married or had kids

Edit: More serious note - maybe it's about ensemble?

There was a tonal shift, somewhere around that. A lot of communities I was in at the time started turning septic. I'm not sure what the exact cause was, though.

Not real life, but when i went back to skyrim I was genuinely looking in containers, in dwemer ruins for purple motif pages. Also half expecting to find the same sort of loot in containers such as racial crafting mats.

On a similar note while also playing Skyrim recently: rushing to get ore nodes in case someone else... oh wait...

Indeed, was a lot more fun and people were not so whiney about everything, go back even further back there was such a fascination with things.

I see yellow wild flowers in my yard, I need to pick them to make a potions, like the yellow flowers I pick in a game I play

Its one long crafting writ for a monthly reward. But that reward barely keeps my subscription active

Your nostalgia glasses are making everything seem rosy. There weren't as many of us around to be sure, and large online forums didn't exist, but I remember people complaining about lag in MUDs, buffing/nerfing, and LoLing at people trying to play fast-paced MUDs over 1200 baud modems.

Complainers were always there. They were just harder to see.

Note to self, tell kids that dandelion tea will give them superpowers - come up with a believable list by noon. Watch dandelions disappear from yard.

After playing MMO's for 20 years and witnessing server lag, etc...

I now know that in RL the reason 50% of the planet is sleeping at any given time is to avoid crashing the world server.

I had a concerted discussion with my best bud if, at any time, we needed to evade the zombie apocalypse in the flats of my country. Flats being apartments and we have thousands of those. It was that or how we would deal with an invasion of dragons. Fun stuff!

CaptainBeerDude

@RavenSworn totally standard. I would be more surprised if you didn't have a zombie survival plan.

RavenSworn

@CaptainBeerDude, I know right? My buddy drives a bus so it's like... We could totally have a rolling anti zombie tank just taking one gas station at a time. Making way up north to the colder regions. Not to mention devising all kinds of traps and running routes for each safe houses.



I think I need to take a break hahah

CaptainBeerDude

I've got a mate that does security at a large facility with a tidal generator. We were going to fortify that and live in luxury.

I've listened to the ESO and Skyrim soundtracks so many times, that I can recall most of it from memory... matching what I'm doing.

I noticed a couple days of thinking about eso too much recently. It was not a good time to think about eso as I was coming up for a promotion interview so I caught myself thinking about eso and decided to stop and work harder and think about work. Got my promotion today. Next step is deliverying on my more advanced workload etc

As far as eso is concerned I feel like I'm my skill level decreeased a bit which sux

So, it's Fredas and time for a silly thread.
I stumbled upon this picture and it got me thinking...

I have a tendency to always look for the best spot to hide from a sniper, or the structure most easily defendable from a zombie attack.

What are your gamer reflexes doing to your brain when out in the real world?

OMG, I do the "zombie defence spot" thing all the time - I thought it was just me! I was absent-mindedly squeezing some syrup out of a bottle a few months back and it was taking ages for the syrup to appear and the word "lag" drifted across my mind.

Loved that pic by the way.

Fantastic graphics, crappy gameplay.

The place soul gems do bugger all for resurrection.

And doing the ressing animation on someone is considered "molesting". Jeez! I was only trying to help.

IRL is P2W. Also, developers suck and it is a terrible grind.

• Considering sprinting everywhere you go, with frequent stops to regen your relatively low stamina pool.
• Stopping by your mechanic daily and giving him $2.50 so he can make your vehicle 1% faster, larger, or more efficient.
• Organizing your closet by "set item."
• Making dinner for one, 100 servings at a time.
• Gathering enough free samples at the grocery store that you can make that dinner-for-one.
• Trying to convince your neighbor to buy your old hubcaps because they're 'intricate.'
• Trying to animation cancel when shopping online.

I could go on...

When at work i do some big présentation and at some point your brain keep thinking of what you need to say but for some reason your tongue is unable to keep up and i think " damn lag i desync again and I m about to rollback.

FANTASTIC thread!
Makes me feel happy to be a gamer!
As of life I still see it as a pre-release Alpha build with disastrous balance issues. Even the grind is pointless if the rewards get patched to be unavailable again and again by the time I finish the quests. Not many players around having minds with sharpened trait but at least prosperous has some value...

don't worry, you can always enter the inn when facing to much balance issurs or getting annoyed by the grind... you only have to remember you cannot ask for a Markath Mead or a Lilmoth Garlic Hagfish
