Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

Yeah and that is sus enough to be a reason for declining.

Red flags don’t come bigger than that. But on the same level it appeals to a person’s ego when you get head hunted like that, suddenly you’re a big deal.

Hey, Fox News is very important. Who else would - with great indignation - inform us that Minnie Mouse is wearing a blue pantsuit for a one-off event in Paris, which is clearly an existential threat to western civilisation?

The only good thing about Fox was Fox Kids.
Any boomers in the chat?

Simpsons seasons 1-10.

Reminder that FOX News complained about the green M&M “not being sexy” anymore after her re-design to wear shoes instead of thigh-boots.

Edit: Beat you to it Meruru!

Where else am I going to hear the very pressing news that the green M&M isn’t as sexy? Civilization needs this information.

Going from one expac’s class quests to the next immediately.
“Friend! How long has it been since we last saw each other?”
idk like
two minutes?

Not really a peeve, just a silly note.

very present in ff14 i notice

the time gaps between patches where an npc will say something like “oh this will take me some time to set up, we will speak again when it’s ready”

literally the next quest “after a long and difficult endeavour, finally it is ready”

That said, I would generally prefer this to them giving me a “make yourself busy” quest to go elsewhere first before then coming back (hello ARR postgame).

I just pretend my character had a glass of water in the meantime. No smoke breaks though. Smoke breaks just remind me of that guy in every raid group who seems to call a smoke break every two minutes. Just killed trash? Smoke break. Wiped? Smoke break. Killed a boss? Smoke break.

Reminds me of my disaster MoP raids (feat. young me managing to fool people into thinking I’m an adult despite having no idea what adults do.)

Only a problem if they adults themselves have a clue. :+1:

this just reminds me that i still haven’t been able to play endwalker and i’m reaching the point where i think i’m just going to get the ps5 version and try my best to play with a controller

it’s not what i wanted, but what choice does a man have in so desperate a situation

reminds me of my burning crusade days when i was a raider. the main tank used to call a smoke break (for weed) constantly which was a constant barrier to progress

luckily one night we were progressing tempest keep and trying to down kael’thas unsuccessfully, the main tank had been arrested for possession the same night and so i had to step up to be main tank

that night we beat kael and they kicked the main tank, promoting me

What actually stops you? You have a pc and if you now think about getting it on ps5, what’s the problem?

And we’re still not rid of the orange man. Apparently the Republican Party is now trying harder than ever to get their own people into places they feel they need to secure the victory in the next election and make voting even tougher for certain groups of people.

Combined with the fact that Biden only won by a very small margin instead of a landslide and that many Americans still believe that orange man got “cheated” out of his victory… yeah, I definety think they’re crazy enough to let him back into office 2024.

the location of the pc being in my box office which if i use, separates me from the rest of the family when i need to be on hand if one of the kids starts acting up (which they do regularly)

with the ps5 i can play games and drop in and out really easily because it’s in the living room where everyone usually is anyway

honestly the only issue with playing endwalker on ps5 would be having to drop it at short notice to do kid stuff which isn’t going to work if i’m in a dungeon or mid cutscene. so it’s not ideal

I can never tell if they knew and humored me or if they were a band of oblivious people. Given how badly the raids always went, I’m going to go with the latter.

Further proof of this is that I ended up in a scenario not too different to this.

Except it was a mom dealing with her adult daughter’s constant WoW boyfriends instead. venting at me and me going “uhhhh… yeah, that’s crazy. Make sure she doesn’t give them her credit card info! That’s bad credit score. Yeah, I know what that is.”

Something about the mid to late 00s and the early 10s was very weed-centric. From Modern Warfare emblems to people in MMOs mentioning it at every turn, it was a weird time. I have memories of two people in the Grand Exchange talking about how “uber epic” their weed hallucinations were and how they hallucinated fighting a boss from the game while their head was a pumpkin.

Understandable.
If a controller is a problem, you can actually play it on console with a wireless keyboard and mouse. I bought a cheap one and it worked just fine.

It was disappointing to, as a teenager try weed and realise it just made me feel sleepy and relaxed and not… what school and childhood playground rumours said it did.
