Yeah I know exactly how you feel. Itâs like when I ask people to slow down and explain something to me in better detail than just saying âOK ITâs easy just do that and thenâŚâ as they walk away, then they come back and Iâm lost then they say what upsets me.
âWhat are you stupid?â
No. Not in the slightest. But thanks for that. Thanks.
Thatâs OK itâs only Celtic fans pretending theyâre Irish that drink Guinness, or people in silly hats and green t shirts on St Patrickâs night (amazingly, ask them when St Andrewâs day is and you get a âwhaa?? Scotland has a patron saint?â. Naw lad, ah just made that upâŚ) everyone else drinks Tennantâs.
There is no escape.
I have to tell people to explain like Iâm 5 but try to do it in a way that isnât condescending.
Iâm very good at explaining like Iâm 5 and people always understand me⌠provided I can remember the accurate words and donât just come out with âyou put the stuff in the fingâ although my mum seems to get gibberish 
Krang! Lemme be Krang! 
Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy⌠GodâŚ
Oh the memories⌠OH THE MEMORIES!! There really was no better time to be a kid than being born in the 70âs
No we do NOT talk about Michael Bay ruining yet another childhood memory of mine
Thatâs what upsets me most off and just makes me shut down. Do you sometimes feel like I do that you just want to scream at them âLOOK I HAVE PROBLEMS OK? GIVE ME SOME TIME AND DONâT TREAT ME LIKE IM AN IDIOT BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT!â
I found myself increasingly doing this more and more in WoW which is why I stopped doing group content like M+ etc.
Now I wait for the inevitable âoh youâre using that as an excuseâ
Fine. If thatâs what you want to believe. But tell me. Whatâs YOUR excuse for being so unpleasant to be around with you forced people to stop playing?"
Edit. âYouâ is used as an impersonal pronoun it is not intended to single out a person
Yes, I do. However, I am conflict averse so usually I am quite polite and at most can be sharp. This usually works in making people shocked though because I am usually so quiet and polite. Once a teacher was treating me like an idiot, and I had assumed they knew I had a learning disability because they were supposedly sent the information. So I looked them in the eye, which is really hard for me to do and sharply said âI have a learning disability.â
Oh man did they change their tune. They went so nice and apologetic. Even if I didnât have one, though, they should never have acted that way. I know Iâm not dumb, I have tha grades and degrees to prove it, I just donât think like other people.
Also annoying is when there is like 1 thing you donât get and soon as that is explained the rest falls into place⌠but they keep explaining. Youâre like stop, I get it, no Iâm fine now go away, just- STOP. I only had 1 teacher who understood that and thankfully it was my GCSE maths teacher because without her I would have failed. Got a B. Pretty chuffed. I donât miss school 
It is the best in slot way to exist, mechanical body and just brain.
I am so jealous of school kids nowadays. When I was at school they had just brought in âStandard Gradesâ which every single person who worked in Education except the Ministry of Education who brought it in all unanimously said it would ruin every single pupilâs career prospects over night. And they were right.
And my maths teacher was an absolute joke of a teacher, his idea of addressing a problem a pupil had was to slowly tear himself away from the 3 âCreditâ level pupils he was concentrating on and force himself to look over your shoulder and I quote, âGod youâre so f⌠uselessâ and walk away back to his prized 3 kids who would make his class results look good if at least one kid got good âCredit levelâ grades of 1 or 2.
I quickly learned along with others that going to his class would be as productive as sitting on the pavement poking the gutters with sticks wasting time.
So thatâs what we did.
Only teacher who saw my potential was my English teacher who bless her heart, would roll her eyes and sigh when she would give the class essays and say to the class ânow you only need to write two or so pages.â Then look at me and say âNot two hundred and twenty-two young mister Ogilvieâ.
I found out years later that she would take them home and read them.
I went to a grammar school, which I am very thankful for because I would not have survived in a public school and they were mostly brilliant teachers. However, beyond dyslexia they were somewhat clueless and useless and when I went to a public college, thatâs when I got the most help.
Not a New Vegas Deathclaw, I hope. Those freaks triply earned their names.
Talk about a giant beast that 2-shots even max level enemies, just because.
On the other hand, the ones in 4 felt like a noodle especially with power armor on.
Myself, Iâd be a BoS soldier in a giant tin can, armed with a Fat Man. Guess whoâd I target first, and guess if Soulâs remains would be small enough to feed to the maggotsâŚ
Ad Victoriam brother. First its the brotherhood, then it is the mission, then it is the knight. Glory to ambition. Brothers in arms.
I were jealous to hear of coding theyre teached nowadays. We were teached how to draw stickman with paint and move it onto floppy disk, the advanced course was like how to send email and how to open pictures with connection that takes 5 minutes to load it one slice a time. And then many years later I hear my younger brother is teached coding as the basics in school. I feel they were privileged to all that our generation had to figure ourselves. 
I wonder if there will be some personal AI type of thing in future kinda like smartphones now the pocket computers everyone are carrying, and in future it would be replaced with some AI wrist watch type of thing that people can just ask questions and it provides them solutions and answers for everything. It would be genious as invention but I dont know about the affects to mankind.
lol these were the state of the art cutting edge computers we were taught onâŚ
We were computing gods spending hours typing
10 CLS
20 PRINT (insert message here, usually so and so loves so and so)
30 GOTO 20
then after that we spent the rest of the 45 minute period wasting time until we were mind numbingly bored playing what could be very loosely described as âsnakeâ
I let my sadistic streak run riot with NV Deathclaws by finding the old mine that is now a Deathclaw nest with mommy and pappy Deathclaw with their kids and sending the old NCR soldier companion (I forget his name but you first meet him when he is on top of a guard post) to take them on while I stand 2 miles away and snipe them.
He never lasts long poor fella.
Maximus more than understood that phrase 
If you mean the fella in Novac, thatâs Boone. And heâs supposed to be a sniper, not an assaulter xD
Of course, sniping Quarry Junction is really the best thing you can do. Even with the AMR it took me quite a few reloads to finish those freaks⌠and in my current playthrough Iâd have to level up to about 20 by when I find a proper set of big guns.
A Ratslayer varmint rifle, an M1 Garand and a unique plasma rifle is sadly too little against those beastsâŚ
The 480 Ilvl expectation for a normal Vault raid people expect was a bit disheartaning but to be honest, the Black Temple TW raid and the WB and the chest and the TW dungeons drops quite a nice gear to understand why many would want a smoother run with hefty Ilvl
So time to grind ⌠again
Oy veyâŚ
That brings back memories. I remember at school I had to make a program to control lights for a stage.
Thatâs what got me into code and now do for a living.
Do you remember Lemmings? All of our school computers had that game⌠and only that game! Spent many lunch breaks in the computer room playing that. 
Made in my hometown Dundee!
In a little studio on the Nethergate.
They then went on to create the best selling videogame of all time, Grand Theft Auto.
