Re: Rant Thread
I was in the car with my dad driving to... who knows. We were going to go under a railway bridge not realising the road was being reworked there but was still open for some reason, so dad slammed the brakes and swerved us back around to wait until it finished. Cos that's totally how roadworks work. We then went under the bridge and parked in a massive underground car park and wondered around an old-style village all apparently under this railway bridge.
Cut to us then walking down a path with the main road, currently empty, on one side and fields on the other, much like there is irl between where I live and the aforementioned bridge. I saw a creature that looked like a cross between a fox and a wolf run across the field and it changed colours depending on what it stood on. We kept walking and I saw another wolf-fox thing laying, twitching in the field. I asked what was wrong with it and dad said, extremely nonchalantly, that it had been poisoned and was dying. Asking again he said, "they're nothing more than pests after all". More and more of the dying creatures started appearing in the fields as we kept walking, all twitching, trying to stand and failing or screaming in pain.
Suddenly I'm carrying a six-pack of large Ambrosia custard tins and a variety of biscuit packets. I'm staring out in horror at the dying fox-wolves when dad yanks me to one side as a woman pushing a pushchair wanted to get past. Apparently dad knew the woman and they begin walking together not caring about the animals. I start to follow while more people start walking past out of nowhere. One of the tins falls out of the packaging and hits the curb, denting it, and I go to retrieve it. Another woman walks over and starts making scissor motions at me and gesturing at the biscuits. I told her, "sorry but I'm not in the mood right now, it's not funny". She gives me an indignant look and walks off, and I then notice that every packet of biscuits had been opened and spilled all over the path for the last few steps. Everyone who walks past and sees laughs at me, causing me to break down. I try to scream but no sound comes out.
I woke up crying and my chest felt heavy as I breathed. Been kinda depressed since.

Rest in peace mum. I really did love and miss you, even if I never got to see you.

Re: Rant Thread
I know he has mental health issues (paranoia, depression, etc...)
He's quite a drama queen, tends to go on and on and on about things that happened 30 years ago. I spend most of my time telling him to "let it go".
He's left the guild before in a hissy because he was upset about some stupid thing that happened in the game (not even in the guild.. this was totally something like "too many alliance players I can't finish this quest!!!!!!!!!")
Now he's gone and left the guild again! And all I can think is "that's it, no more mulligans."
I can't handle the drama. I'm dealing with my own terminal illness I don't need to also deal with his mental issues.
So now I feel like a bad friend, except he really totally deserves to be slapped silly.

Re: Rant Thread
Then yesterday, he was mysteriously gone from my friends list. I did due diligence and whispered him in case it was a glitch or mistake. He had me add his battletag back and was apologetic about the whole thing and said he didn't know how it happened.
But, today, he was talking about millenials. I told him what the birth year range was, and he disagreed. So, he called me a "dumb c***" and kicked me off his friends list. Just like that. I was honestly relieved, but it's a bit shocking. However, me being me, I couldn't leave it....so I sent him a message saying essentially "thanks for removing yourself, you actually were pretty annoying and I'm glad I don't have to talk to you now" He replied by calling me "lesbian killary voter" and wished me good luck in Hell.
I know there is no naming, no shaming. But he's on the Proudmoore server. Be careful out there, friends.
Anyway, Sukurachi, I'm sorry you're dealing with that drama. It sounds excessively stressful

Re: Rant Thread
IDK shit about computers.
Computer wasnt even hot or anything.
When it was blue screening, it would give me "exception not handled atikmdag.sys"
Now its just 100% shutting off, no error.
IDk if it's the video card. Or if my computer is just dying.
I dont even know what to look for when finding a computer repair place :c
Because of these computer issues, I've 100% given up any hope on getting the Ahead of the Curve stuff lmfao. No one is going to want to wait for my happy ass to log back on in the middle of a raid.
First world problems I guess. Meh.

Re: Rant Thread
Unfortunately, for both of us it meant a new computer. :< If you can take yours apart, though, maybe try a new graphics card, or search computer repair places nearby with good reviews and try that.
If it comes down to it and you just need a new computer... get yourself a contact who knows computer stuff (I have a raid friend who works in IT who helped me), buy some parts with their help, and build one. It sounds scary and looks so so intimidating but its way easier than it sounds, and nets you a REALLY nice computer for way less than anything pre-built. I hope you figure out your computer problems without needing to sink that much money into it, though!

Re: Rant Thread

Re: Rant Thread
The guy said the video card's fan was running at a fourth of the speed it should have been. So he replaced it. Said he was able to watch youtube with no problem, while I had only been getting about 10-15 mins before a shut off. So we'll see if that was all it was.
Fingers crossed.

Re: Rant Thread
The group chat just felt like it was being rubbed in my face too…my husband thinks I shouldn’t worry and just to mention it next time the organiser begs for help (like to ask if I get to come to a dinner next time) but I’m kinda feeling like this is personal on some level when I probably shouldn’t…I dunno just feel really hurt. I kinda want to tell the main person how I feel about it since I considered him a friend but not sure if they’d really care. Or if I should just forget the whole thing and just not be as helpful in future since it seems it isn’t appreciated

Re: Rant Thread
My day started off having a group of people watch me clear a group of elites that were standing in front of rare, then they happily joined in after I was finished. Not to mention my pet was tanking it because they were all squishy. I really do not like being mean to people but one day I'm going to feign death and they're all just gonna die and you know what? I'm gonna keep doing it. We'll start all over again, we'll get the rare to 10 percent and then you can all die again. And again. Until you leave me alone. Then I had to do WQs where everyone seems to think if they don't kill everything themselves they'll not finish the quest. Do these people not realize things rarely "grey out" anymore? You don't need to snatch all the mobs away when I'm trying to clump them to AoE them down. Just tag them!! You'll get credit stupid!! Then I got killed by someone on a Warden tower literally one mob off finishing the world quest - making me lose my rep buff. I don't mind being killed, it's a PVP zone and it's fair game but jesus christ if you're gonna run off crying when people come back after you then maybe PvP is not for you? And then finally I decided to pop into the Nighthold to kill Krosus for my hatchling quest. I got the debuff from the infernal - wasn't healed through it and died before the boss which they then started without me and I got no credit for killing it meaning I queued up for one hour for no reason.
My fiance told me never to group on weekends. I need to learn to listen.

Re: Rant Thread
there are so many "why the heck did Blizzard do..." questions that I'm not even going to complain. It's an expansion. They changed a bunch of stuff that didn't NEED to be changed. I'll learn to live with it.
But I won't be happy about it.
