    Never bought my own - no meta for me

    either that or hitting on me

    yeah i wouldn't have this to look at if it weren't given to my kid since i haven't even owned a gaming console since maybe 93 and i took that one back since i wanted to play w the kid
    all this shit just occupies time that's slipping away from you anyway doesn't it?
    i have no idea what a meta universe is but i see and understand what kids are doing on gaming platforms so i figured there is something to it for someone and i'll put it on my head
    you recommended boxing so i was thinking you could be found but no worries i'm only after a laugh and not your ass

    the biggest reason I stay away from games and shit like that is because if I find something I like (Red Dead Redemption 2) it can suck away chunks of my life that ultimately does nothing positive for me in terms of progressing and getting better
    quit social media - turned off all my accounts and uninstalled everything I had (not much)
    thinking the next step if freeing myself from the madness is getting rid of my "smart phone" and getting a flip phone

    Then you gonna move to the hills and soon your gonna start chopping wood and then you get you some hogs to go with your dogs.

    I remember when I stopped playing shadowbane.
    It has taken over my time.
    Full loot, all pvp, castle raids.
    I belonged to the deaths head legion.
    I had my own side, Llylgamyn revenge horde. It's welsh.
    Imo Welsh are the only Britons left in Britain. My guild was influenced a lot by the Welsh stories.
    My second in command was not Welsh but has a hard on for all things Welsh.
    We specialized in rogue barbarian halflings.
    Basically a mix of human and elf or dwarf. Like the hobbits.
    But barbarians. That can sneak and be stealthy.
    Barbarians that don't have the regular type of stats you would want in barbarians.
    Halflings don't have the power and toughness to fighr toe to toe but I would spec them for speed, endurance and agility then rely on battle rage to have my guys all go berserk at the same time during attack.
    I had a cavalry too.
    Except it was also a supposed borked build.
    I would get the slowest class race combo. Dwarven Priests.
    Ramp up their toughness and dexterity stats to the max. Drop their power and other stats. Get them to dual wield throwing daggers. Put poison or paralysis or whatever proc you want in the tip of the dagger to have them debuff your enemy with every hit.
    Why they the cavalry if they slow?
    They can stand back at midrange and throw daggers all day. Daggers don't do much damage but the debuff effect slows them down enough to have my barbarians slice him up. The barbarians wear little to no armor to get the most movement and dexterity benefits.
    The priests I deck out in heavy armor so they can just sit there sniping people with ease.
    Their high natural HP and toughness from being dwarves plus all the healing buffs the run keeps them alive.
    And since they strong dwarves then go and pick up all the dropped loot from the guys the barbarians would kill. Or would pick up our gear so an enemy wouldn't loot our graves.
    The defensive stats and mid range attack was perfect for a cavalry of slow mules to come in as the second wave after the initial blitz of skinny unassuming half naked baby barbarians.
    And if anybody got too close to the dwarf priests they could switch to their mace or morningstar and bash on anyone that got close.

    We would protect new players who would get jumped for their gear as as soon as they left the freehold market towns.
    We would serve as guides to the good spots to get loot while also power leveling them up and fencing off any thieves or assassin's trying to surprise them from stealth.
    But when DHL came to our server they were wiping every castle off the map. Castles that took a year or more to build.
    They demanded join us or die.
    I had a tiny keep and a few basic forges and weaponshops.
    So when DHL armies arrived in my continent I automatically attacked our largest enemy which was Crows Nest the leader of the Rolling 60s.
    He was an asshole but assumed we would fight alongside him against DHL.
    So while they were preparing for war I launched a surprises sapper attack weakening the ramparts by the lake where the enemy could not access.
    I went in with my dwarves priests.
    Once inside their giant castle I went to their training hall.
    They had the money to hire all the trainers in the game so their people didn't have to go hunt them down or pay another leader taxes for the benefit of training.
    I took half my dwarves and spent the gold to retrain them as sappers.
    They didn't go into the castle as sappers. Just in case.
    But they never came out.
    Once I made them sappers I went out to the wall and starting sapping.
    When I was attacked by the guards now seeing me as an enemy I called in the barbarians to jump in and take out the players coming online to defend their town getting surprise raided from the inside before DHL was scheduled to arrive.

    When DHL finally arrived they had no trouble pushing in the damaged walls with just a few shots of trebuchet.
    There was no time for the enemy to fix the cracks so the trebs would shatter the walls on first hit. Trebs could be easily destroyed by defenders after one or two volleys so making those early hits count was the key.

    That's was my plan.
    Rolling 60s ruled the server with an iron fist. And it was dying because new people would quit on day one.
    Rollin 60s was never the same.
    They moved to another server.
    I was the only guild leader in the game that never submitted to DHL and didn't get demolished.
    They never let a city stand if the leader defied them.
    It was like they almost wanted you to join them or quit the game because your defeat would be too hard to recover from.
    Instead they asked us to join them without a fight after watching us in one battle.

    Instead of fighting them I fought their biggest enemy and was ultimately gonna get destroyed.
    If not for the fact that when DHL got to Crows Nest castle I was already besieging it first.
    So we became allies in battle.
    I never gave up my guild.
    I didn't have to submit.
    I was given more gold to replace my keep and turn it into a complete town and my guys became their own autonomous legion within DHL. We still carried our banner and name.
    Llylgamyn Revenge Horde.
    Green, black, wolf's head.
    Just as a vassal kingdom to DHL. And I was now on the DHL inner council as captain of a legion.

    One time I got so bad I was running the game on 4 computers at the same time with 4 diff accounts.
    Then I met a girl who used to play Zynga games for hours on her computer.
    And I was like this is lame.
    How can you play Farmville all day.
    So we started hanging out.
    And I was kinda turned off at how much she played those dumb games.

    I noticed myself pulling away from video games after that.
    But if you put me in front of a PlayStation and put on an nba2k game I don't care how many years have past I will still kick anyone's ass at it.

    playstation that was it
    Christmas present from the wife and i was laying on my back in the master playing some kind of war game when my 3 year old came into the room
    "Daddy i want to play" "no no no wait a second " and she was gone down the hall
    i swear i stopped playing in that moment and went and found her
    took that fucking playstation back the next day and never had a gaming platform since
    i locked and loaded doom and whatever before that completing all the levels but i didn't have a kid
    that changes everything and tbh that fully charged oculus still hasn't found its way onto my face
    mom's 100th was by all accounts a rousing success though

    They might...but since they have the largest sexual organ on planet earth, that may take up some portion of their chitchat.
    It's only human cetacean nature...
