GW2 for the past 11 years, except for a stretch where I played ESO for a few months.

Community's mostly great. Cooperation between players is strongly fostered by the game's design (no kill or resource stealing, no competing for drops, etc), so players tend to get along in almost every PvE situation.

Lore is good, but not nearly as expanded upon as Warcraft's.

Gameplay is what makes it IMO. Skill effects and some gear skins can be a bit obnoxious, especially when you're in large groups for open world and World vs World, but it's still enjoyable. Don't play normal PvP, so can't comment on that.

I think it could just be that simple rule...

Beliefs and personal convictions muck that up a bit though.

There's a sadly significant portion of people who truly believe that being gay is hurting other people.

Whether they believe it only because they were told to or for some personal reason, they believe it nonetheless.

What prevents you from going to bed early?

I don't want to die.

What if I die in my sleep.

What if the house catches fire and I can't escape in time because I was asleep.

There are so many other things I could be doing.

I don't have enough life left.

What if I miss something important or cool.

What if there's a burglar when I'm asleep and it goes south and they murder me.

What if I have an aneurysm in my sleep.

What if I have a stroke in my sleep.

What if I have a heart attack in my sleep.

What if there's a gas leak and the house explodes while I'm asleep.

What if there's a CO leak and I just asphyxiate.

What if I just never wake up for no discernible reason.

I wanna play more video games.

I wanna browse the internet more.

I don't want to have the bad thoughts come back like they always do when I try to sleep.

HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response, ESMC, & Starfield x AMD GPUs

Reply in thread

I really only ever followed any tech channels for cool videos and news, reviews are nearly pointless to me until I'm trying to actually buy or recommend something.

But outside of an occasional great video or at least great topic (like the 48kW fan), LMG barely offers anything special in that space anymore, despite still being the biggest outlet. GN has news down pat (along with reviews), Storage Review and STH cover enterprise stuff that Linus has only exceeded once with the million dollar (or whatever it was) setup, and plenty of channels do guides.
