I felt invincible, not because paladin was OP but because the people healing me were my drinking buddies and if they let me die I would never let them hear the end of it. Everyone always fights harder when there's a face and a name attached to that avatar.
I wish that I meant like, in discord or whatever, but my guild was all local people, within ~3h drive of each other. Every summer we would have a cook-out and every new years would be a drunken shitshow. King's cup with the healers having a handicap. The guild huntard being the butt of all the jokes. My wife, the love of my life, going toe to toe with 4lokos against our shaman healer and both of them puking pink shit into a snowbank.
God, I hate this game, but I would give up every luxury I've ever known, for one more raid with that guild and our shitty old group.
@vicious@pwm you know there's a part of me that wants to quip "let's pretend that I am" and have a little trolling fun with it but people like you would take it seriously and I'd have three more days of allegations in my menchies because nobody knows how to take a joke anymore, so fuck you instead.
your mother is going to destroy your family if everyone lets her.
I lived through this 30-something years ago and the reality of the situation has only gotten worse, in the sense of "every household is expected to be dual income" and nobody can afford a dignified quality of life living alone.
@kaiiak you claim your residence is in South Dakota where you only have to reside there for 1 day per year to claim residency and you jump through all of the requisite hoops to get in on this income tax dodge.
For the record I know about this because I have eternal scorn for tax dodgers not because I advocate for this process, so please know if you go through with it you will have insulted me personally.
@cross@BasedLunatic agreed, completely. Its why I block ads with no shame, stick to backwater subs, and generally cost the platform money as much as I can.
@cross@BasedLunatic there are still good pockets on reddit, I'll admit I still lurk for the good niche shitposting subs with ~20k members and inside jokes. Big enough to be worthwhile, small enough to avoid normie-zation
