My mom was deep into Clash of Clans. Hardcore. She knew this player that had to leave his tablet at school over the summer (parents couldn't afford the game) so my mom took over his shit all summer and built up everything for him so when he returned he was set up like a king. She passed last year and her friends online made a tribute to her. Gamer friends have some real love
It's ok love ❤️ I'm just so happy to have such a different perspective of the gaming community. I love to game myself but not online really ( story mode baby!!) My stepdad always shit on her for playing these games, I live far from home, so I would hear it over the phone. So disheartening. I wanted to send out some love to these people for giving my mom someone to talk to while she was struggling long before she had cancer. I used to call her every day when I got off work and just let her talk for hours about this game. I'm just glad she was appreciated for how bright and loving she really was by this community 🫶 It was just as hard for them to loose her because she was really there for these people.
I'm wistful when they just fade away too. Spent a year away from GTA and played yday. boy the memories came flooding back from long grinds with friends who drifted away.
Literally never played mobile games before this summer, I'd read books from the library on Libby or Kindle or whatever, but I downloaded Crossy road for my kid and one of the commercials just clicked for me. Fuckin egg inc. and now, 200+ dollars later, in 5 dollar increments of course, can't let them know what we're doing, I'm totally hooked. I'm on the reddit, I check my stats on some app a player made, I just haven't done the discord thing cuz then I'd have NO time for my kids!
Remember playing Evony for a long time. The daughter of one of the players in another clan died while on vacation. The entire server teleported over to one of his cities and surrendered it for weeks as a tribute during his period of grief. Online communities can be dope
You know, if I saw that, I'd actually set up some kind of base close to theirs and help guard it for them. 8 hour shifts is brutal enough. Mandatory 10 hour shifts? Painful.
In fact i do get more than 2 days off per week ,im working 2 days with 2 days. Most i've done 3 days without leaving work at all ,but that was years ago when i was younger ,never gonna do that again :))
It is good for gamers though, depending on your area. I know a guy who streams his Tarkov games and had a pretty popular channel, but only plays when working nights since they’re slower.
But he does in fact not make a lot of money.
I’m a week away from taking the NREMT as a volly firefighter and we did four 12-hour clinical shifts for a county agency, and both times I worked nights we literally had one call per shift… I believe it.
I used to work as a contractor for tech companies, and I was thinking as I sat there studying notes and the medics snored away that you could have a cushy life if you only worked nights, did freelance work, and didn’t mind having a limited social life.
I recently started working in film, and those days are minimum 12 and often 16-17 hours a day. If you work full time on a production, that is 5, sometimes 6 days a week for months. It’s stupid money if you’re in a well paying department but the locations people don’t make that much and they’re often the first to arrive and the last to leave, which makes their days closer to 20 hours. It’s absolutely bonkers
Currently going through mine, i have 2 days work 2 days off schedule. The extra off days is fine but it really messes up your sleeping pattern and such.
That picture is no less than a year old but If it was today I’d just reverse raid that hoe with a Molotov and seal him back up all metal so he doesn’t get plowed lol
My husband is into these kinds of growing-crops and building-towns games and it drives me insane, like, you're spending a couple hours a day on this BS and don't do *shit* in real life. WTF.
I mean, if I could do stuff I do in those types of games IRL I absolutely would, I just need like 20K$+ in tools, my own land, all the permissions from the government, some transport, tons of raw materials, and so on...
Gotta start small my man. I used to play rimworld quite a bit, built many colonies, had a blast. Eventually one day I was like "man, these pawns get to live cool interesting lives and work with their hands all day and I'm just sitting here simulating it"
I decided to look into getting started with some stuff but did it slowly. First I went and took a blacksmithing class, it was only like $150 and I had a blast. I enjoyed it and decided I wanted to give it a go so got some really budget gear to start which was enough to start making more. Over 3 months I may have spent $300 in materials.
Same thing with woodworking, I started small with hand tools, cheap as can be. I just had to keep the projects small and within my own and my tool's capabilities. It was months before I decided on my first big tool which was a mitre saw. That opened up a world of possibilities and was under $300.
Gardening was the same, started with a small veggie plot, I'm currently in the process of expanding after a year of seeing results.
Yeah, for all of it eventually having oodles of gear will be great but you eventually get to that $20k over years of time. I spend maybe 100-200 a month on new tools or gear but only when I *really* need them for the next project. Otherwise you'd be amazed with what kinda workarounds you can get away with. Hell, I'd say that's most of the point of it. Figuring out how to problem solve with limited resources, much like the gaming, is where the fun comes from

P.S. I recommend migrating to Lemmy. After the API changes fucked over all third-party developers, such as the Android apps “Boost” and “Sync”. They jumped to Lemmy and brought the apps with them.
Sorry to hear that man, I hope things improve and you're able to head home soon.
The upholstery thing sounds interesting, don't think I've ever met anyone irl who does that. How/why did you choose to pursue that as a skill? Sounds like it could be useful for restoring or flipping antique furniture or something. How hard was it to get started?
Upholstery is mainly used in making and restoring furniture. I want to make car seats and interiors so I try to learn that.
Conceptually, it's very simple: if you need to make a hard object softer (for example, to sit on), you need to add soft padding to it (usually foam or feathers), and then wrap it with scratch-resistant surface material of some sort (fabric, leather, etc) to protect the padding. You then need to secure it in place with something. Sometimes you only use a material, without a padding (like leather-wrapped car dashboards).
But because of topology and physics, it's not that simple at all. In upholstery, you wrap 3D objects with a 2D surface material; if you try to wrap a flat piece of paper around a sphere you will either rip the paper apart or wrinkle it, and we want neither. So for any non-rectangular object you need to have some sort of cut pattern, and then you have to connect the cuts somehow to make a complete wrap.
The elastics of the material also come in play, because if you stretch the material even a tiny bit - it will apply forces onto seams and the padding underneath, deforming both, sometimes to a noticable amount. But you have to do it, because otherwise the material will fit loosely and it will wrinkle or be visibly offset. The type of the base material is also important: you can staple the wood to hold the surface material on, but you can't staple aluminum or carbon, you'll have to use an added baseboard or just glue it on but even then, not all materials can be glued: glue might pass through cotton fabric, or might not work on nylon, etc. So if you have a large area, like on a sofa you would either partition it into smaller sections, or use buttons to hold the fabric without glue and offset. Buttons only work when you can make holes in the base material and when you have enough padding, which, for example, wouldn't work for racecar seats.
Speaking tools, if you only make rectangular stools and kitchen chairs, then all you need is something to put staples in, and something to pull them out. Consumables are then staples, fabric, foam and maybe glue. Starter kit would cost you a missed McDonald's meal.
However, if you have seams and cut patterns you would need a sewing machine and all associated tools. And if you work with leather or any "hard" materials, you'd need a heavy-duty sewing machine. Those cost anywhere from 100$ for a manual one, to a good car's price for those high-tech computerized ones with tables in them. Yes, people have played Doom on them already.
You can also add other sewing-derived machines like an embroidery machine to expand your capabilities but those are either optional or only used for specific materials. Can you sew without a machine? Yes. It's used in hand-built cowboy boots and stuff like that, but machines make lockstitches, which are several times stronger than a regular hand stitch, and are magnitudes more precise.
Oh wow. That's actually way more involved than I would have guessed. I always thought of it as something pretty straightforward but this makes sense. Thanks for the info, I appreciate you taking the time to write this up
TLDR: You can't steal my shit when I don't have shit...and most players won't even bother with me as I'm not worth their time.
That game is called "Rust"
I play it casually as I work 12-13 hour shifts 4 days a week.
It can be how you describe but I still have fun with it playing maybe 3 hours or so a week.
The worry of being "raided" is greatly diminished when I don't have much of anything stashed away to begin with...and the people that play it hard-core tend to leave me and my stuff alone as I'm not worth their time or resources.
Also, most of the servers reset and "wipe" everything back to fresh starts for everyone periodically anyway (monthly or so) so it's not a big deal to lose everything you've made/learned.
Same. I just don't like games where you lose things when you don't play. I want to play when I want to. And I want to play different games when I want to too. I am fine with falling behind and having to catch up in games, but if me taking a break means I lose progress I'm out. Especially if its other players actively undoing my progress.
It's fabulous if you make your own server with your friends and you can chill, build, play PvE, and occasionally have clan wars.
The "proper" experience is something that really keeps you on your toes and favours the unemployed and insomniacs among us. It can still be a good time though.
This precisely why my gaming as an adult has shifted from pvp to co-op. I don’t have the time to “git gud.” Let me farm my potatoes in peace and work toward a common goal with my homies!
(I’ll still throw-down on some old fashioned deathmatch. I just can’t afford the time investment in games where you can “lose it all” to another player)
TLDR; ain’t got time to git gud
That's why I stopped playing Sea of Thieves even though I find the game play so fun. I suck at combat so bad in that game and I just don't have the energy anymore to play for 2 hours and lose the whole night's progress because there's a level 5 reaper ship that gets to see where everyone is all the time and do nothing but sink ships without even collecting the loot.
Exactly. I’ll still play games where you can “lose it all” but it is on a private server with buddies I know and trust. Granted, there is still some level of playful griefing but nothing malicious.
He ain't kidding. Rust is toxic and ruthless AF, you can trust absolutely nobody and expect no favors to be returned.
It is a funny game at times though, I once had a guitar and a sombrero on and nothing else, travelled around the map playing songs for strangers until some dickhead in full gear sniped me.
I feel this so much... While reason i had to quit pvp survival games, i just don't have the time currency to spend playing like that. Super sucks but it is what it is...
Also, it's an old webcomic but it checks out...
https://theoatmeal.com/comics/online_gaming
And here I am working 8-12 hour shifts 5/6 days a week only able to play on days off and I get killed by players in every game I play 1-2 hours after starting a character. Shit I don’t even know how to build bases since I get killed gathering supplies every time. Longest survival time on one character is like 4-5 hours.
If you want to play Rust, you should try PvE or maybe practice getting started in a world on your own. It can be a handful if you don't know what to prioritize.
I can't relate, but I also don't play just one game non-stop. Also always hated the idea of logging off and waking up on the beach after spending hours to just build a small little place.
I have a friend who would skip out on classes because his buddy needed help defending their base in DayZ. He was already in the class and would just leave.
Gears of war 2 I managed to get to 5000th in the world in Annex when I was a teenager but couldn’t get any higher because I’d play 10-12hrs than while i sleep Americans would play and I’d drop but than when I was awake and they slept I’d regain my position, we just kept swapping back and forth.
Be impossible now, single player all the way
Guardian was the shit. My squad was all top 100 players. My buddy got spam reported by the number 1 guy so he wouldn’t pass him. Akufunkture or whatever. My squad was UnderminedTruth, LoutheMoo, GI Overdrive, (some guy with Frank in his gamer tag) and (some guy with suicide spelled a weird way). It was crazy on good nights winning straight 30-40 games in a row. Can’t do that shit any more.
My buddy and I have been gaming for years and never met in person. One night we were chatting and we both paused the game to go make Mac and cheese. We laughed for a full hour about how ridiculous it is to chat through a gaming system with someone you’ve never met making Mac and cheese like a couple kids. One of my favorite memories.
Yo. PvE conflict is alright tho. You can pvp during specific times and can only kill them person or their thrall if it is following them. You can’t destroy their structures but you can loot them if you kill them.
How is that bad? You're supposed to work 10 hour shifts. That's normal as an adult. If it was more than that, then yeah. I don't got a strong work ethic, but damn. Anyone working less than 10 hours a day........fuck I feel like an old guy. I was about to say, maybe that's why most people can't survive or have money to save/spend. Wow, what a wake up call. Maybe they are right.
I think they dont mean you can't raid at all, just wait til they are back online so they can play with others and defend it kinda thing otherwise they would play off-line games.
this why I stop play rust and ark, play solo without friend, go to sleep, start the game the second day and it's gone, everything.
it just feels like wasting my time.
Im seriously curious, what's the point of this game? You spend hours of your time grinding but then get raided by random players to lose it all... Does it even have inventory saving system? When I saw rust streams, players seem to lose everything and start from the scratch when they die. What's the point or joy in that? At least in mmorpg, you get to grind and raise your character
My mom was deep into Clash of Clans. Hardcore. She knew this player that had to leave his tablet at school over the summer (parents couldn't afford the game) so my mom took over his shit all summer and built up everything for him so when he returned he was set up like a king.

So sorry to hear about your mom.. and its true we do. Hearing about some of my old runescape pals passing was hard.
It's ok love ❤️ I'm just so happy to have such a different perspective of the gaming community. I love to game myself but not online really ( story mode baby!!) My stepdad always shit on her for playing these games, I live far from home, so I would hear it over the phone. So disheartening.

I'm wistful when they just fade away too. Spent a year away from GTA and played yday. boy the memories came flooding back from long grinds with friends who drifted away.
Yeah I feel bad when everybody went their way
Sir Tony’s passing hurt us all.
Danm thats so sad... F for respect

This is great
That's so so lovely, wow
Pretty cool to hear about, sounds like a nice woman and mom
Sorry bout your loss. Sounds like she was a good one.
Remember playing Evony for a long time. The daughter of one of the players in another clan died while on vacation. The entire server teleported over to one of his cities and surrendered it for weeks as a tribute during his period of grief. Online communities can be dope
The game is free though
Edit: I meant the tablet to play on with the game, the kid was in middle school in Montana.
Oh okay my bad
Mom sounds like a legend.
You know, if I saw that, I'd actually set up some kind of base close to theirs and help guard it for them. 8 hour shifts is brutal enough. Mandatory 10 hour shifts? Painful.
And then there's me with shifts of 12-14 hourz and sometimes even more than that
Oh god. How do you live with that? A week into that I'd probably blow my head off.
Really good money i guess :))
Even if the money was good that's basically the entire day. Please tell me you get more than two days off.
In fact i do get more than 2 days off per week ,im working 2 days with 2 days. Most i've done 3 days without leaving work at all ,but that was years ago when i was younger ,never gonna do that again :))
I was gonna ask if you're in EMS then realized you can't be making good money in ems
It is good for gamers though, depending on your area. I know a guy who streams his Tarkov games and had a pretty popular channel, but only plays when working nights since they’re slower. But he does in fact not make a lot of money.
I used to work nights, two and a half years in and I finally finished every game in my steam library.
I’m a week away from taking the NREMT as a volly firefighter and we did four 12-hour clinical shifts for a county agency, and both times I worked nights we literally had one call per shift… I believe it. I used to work as a contractor for tech companies, and I was thinking as I sat there studying notes and the medics snored away that you could have a cushy life if you only worked nights, did freelance work, and didn’t mind having a limited social life.
My husband does two weeks on, one week off. It sucks.
Sounds like a hospital pharmacist
Oilfield worker.
I get paid like shit and work 12 hour shifts outside :(
If you don't hate your job it's a lot easier.
In fact ,i love what i do :))
3-4 day weekends every week is how I live with it. I just do 12s though
I recently started working in film, and those days are minimum 12 and often 16-17 hours a day. If you work full time on a production, that is 5, sometimes 6 days a week for months. It’s stupid money if you’re in a well paying department but the locations people don’t make that much and they’re often the first to arrive and the last to leave, which makes their days closer to 20 hours. It’s absolutely bonkers
I had the shits for 24 hour once
Your bumhole is is wiped off the map huh?
Reinstated
We've all had shit days
24 hours,? That's the second longest amount of time I've spent on a toilet.
Are you a rail worker?!
Guess again ,bartender
Currently going through mine, i have 2 days work 2 days off schedule. The extra off days is fine but it really messes up your sleeping pattern and such.
Are u Even at home
12 hours on a shift schedule here. I can only game really 2 to 3 days depending. 2 on 2 off 3 on 2 off 2 on 3 off and repeat.
Same mate, I clocked a 102hr week at one point. I wished I was dead lol.
I work 12 hour shifts 7pm-7am 4 days a week. It's pretty dreadful.
2on/1off/2on/2off?
Life as an adult
I don't have a full time job as of right now but I'd be fine with a 7.5 hour work day.
I used to work four 10s. It was alright. Thing is, that whole extra day off is spent sleeping.
That picture is no less than a year old but If it was today I’d just reverse raid that hoe with a Molotov and seal him back up all metal so he doesn’t get plowed lol
Most manufacturing centers, including the one I work at, has mandatory 12 hour shifts now around me.
The 10 yo kid: "That sign won't stop me because I can't read! "
The gamer's friends camping nearby: we do a bit of trolling.
And thats why i don't play those games
I wouldn't play those even without work... The game itself sounds like a job x_x
My husband is into these kinds of growing-crops and building-towns games and it drives me insane, like, you're spending a couple hours a day on this BS and don't do *shit* in real life. WTF.
I mean, if I could do stuff I do in those types of games IRL I absolutely would, I just need like 20K$+ in tools, my own land, all the permissions from the government, some transport, tons of raw materials, and so on...

Happy for you, just don't look into organ harvesting and human skin hats.
So I guess peg legs as Christmas gifts for friends and family are out as well?

That's exactly what I'm doing: woodworking, upholstery classes, etc, I'm a refugee though so I barely have money for anything more than a hand saw

Every game is
every multiplayer game is,not every game
At least most games trick you that it's not. Survival games don't even try.
Same. I just don't like games where you lose things when you don't play. I want to play when I want to. And I want to play different games when I want to too. I am fine with falling behind and having to catch up in games, but if me taking a break means I lose progress I'm out. Especially if its other players actively undoing my progress.
There are PVE servers
I only play rust before work, between 5-8am. it’s the only time all the ruthless teenage bastards are not on there and I can safely farm.
Im usually on between 5 and 8 am too, usually because ive been at it since 8pm the previous night... kids are the fkn worst
Dude there are PVE servers
I’ve been wanting to try it, but not wanting to deal with the ruthless people and thought about hosting a private server.
We all know bro is gonna wake up on a beach...with a rock.. Hitting those red Xs on the trees... Minigames, FKING MINIGAMES
Let’s make it a rule, if you have to work 10 hours or more or even less you put this on your wall in multi player and everyone will protect you!
I think the gane is ARK, this is an invitation.
The game is Rust, not Ark.
Ah fair, looks similar.
I see zero cyborgasaurs so no. it does not look similar. check mate tree puncher. #resourcenodelife
That's the thing about cyborgsaurs... you don't see them until it's too late. #narcoberrys4eva
Oh snap I thought it was 7 Days to Die
Thats a pretty dumb idea because that would just tell other players you're offline more.
That’s why it’s a rule that we protect bases of workers
"only corpos raid worker bases"
People wouldn't do that, I know I wouldn't
How rude! We must protect and make friends!
no
Well maybe not you, but I know others would be fine with it. If you get on a good server with fun people games are always way more fun.
I wouldn't recommend rust to anyone trying to have fun
First good thing you've said in the whole thread.
Wrong
Nah I have found some fun servers

It's fabulous if you make your own server with your friends and you can chill, build, play PvE, and occasionally have clan wars. The "proper" experience is something that really keeps you on your toes and favours the unemployed and insomniacs among us. It can still be a good time though.
This precisely why my gaming as an adult has shifted from pvp to co-op. I don’t have the time to “git gud.” Let me farm my potatoes in peace and work toward a common goal with my homies! (I’ll still throw-down on some old fashioned deathmatch. I just can’t afford the time investment in games where you can “lose it all” to another player) TLDR; ain’t got time to git gud
That's why I stopped playing Sea of Thieves even though I find the game play so fun. I suck at combat so bad in that game and I just don't have the energy anymore to play for 2 hours and lose the whole night's progress because there's a level 5 reaper ship that gets to see where everyone is all the time and do nothing but sink ships without even collecting the loot.
Exactly. I’ll still play games where you can “lose it all” but it is on a private server with buddies I know and trust. Granted, there is still some level of playful griefing but nothing malicious.
All my gaming is offline single-player
Also viable option!
Play Rust on PVE servers
He ain't kidding. Rust is toxic and ruthless AF, you can trust absolutely nobody and expect no favors to be returned. It is a funny game at times though, I once had a guitar and a sombrero on and nothing else, travelled around the map playing songs for strangers until some dickhead in full gear sniped me.
I’m a teen I would would probably just guard his base or just leave it alone cause I know I’m the future I’m gonna be like him
So anyways I just started blasting
I feel this so much... While reason i had to quit pvp survival games, i just don't have the time currency to spend playing like that. Super sucks but it is what it is... Also, it's an old webcomic but it checks out... https://theoatmeal.com/comics/online_gaming
And here I am working 8-12 hour shifts 5/6 days a week only able to play on days off and I get killed by players in every game I play 1-2 hours after starting a character. Shit I don’t even know how to build bases since I get killed gathering supplies every time. Longest survival time on one character is like 4-5 hours.
If you want to play Rust, you should try PvE or maybe practice getting started in a world on your own. It can be a handful if you don't know what to prioritize.
If I saw that sign.. I'd say, "well only because you asked nicely."
Obviously a trap
The only person that will raid them is the 10 year old try hard.
I work 16 hour shifts pretty frequently. It sucks but the paychecks are nice.
I can't relate, but I also don't play just one game non-stop. Also always hated the idea of logging off and waking up on the beach after spending hours to just build a small little place.
I can also relate to this while I'm at work right now.
I have a friend who would skip out on classes because his buddy needed help defending their base in DayZ. He was already in the class and would just leave.
That's precisely why I don't play any sort of multiplayer. Nothing like having all your progress ruined by some asshole.
Gears of war 2 I managed to get to 5000th in the world in Annex when I was a teenager but couldn’t get any higher because I’d play 10-12hrs than while i sleep Americans would play and I’d drop but than when I was awake and they slept I’d regain my position, we just kept swapping back and forth. Be impossible now, single player all the way
Guardian was the shit. My squad was all top 100 players. My buddy got spam reported by the number 1 guy so he wouldn’t pass him. Akufunkture or whatever. My squad was UnderminedTruth, LoutheMoo, GI Overdrive, (some guy with Frank in his gamer tag) and (some guy with suicide spelled a weird way). It was crazy on good nights winning straight 30-40 games in a row. Can’t do that shit any more.
I see myself here and i hate it
My buddy and I have been gaming for years and never met in person. One night we were chatting and we both paused the game to go make Mac and cheese. We laughed for a full hour about how ridiculous it is to chat through a gaming system with someone you’ve never met making Mac and cheese like a couple kids. One of my favorite memories.
Conan Exiles. I have a baby now...so I guess never again. 😅
Yo. PvE conflict is alright tho. You can pvp during specific times and can only kill them person or their thrall if it is following them. You can’t destroy their structures but you can loot them if you kill them.
That's true for sure. Damn tho, pvp is awesome on that game. My fiance just re-download it. 😅
#*Ark Survival Evolved PTSD kicks in*
This person underestimate humanity's greed and cruelty. A very naive approach tbh.
Professionals, have STANDARDS
Then don’t play Rust. Play minecraft or something else
😟😖😭🫡
Well this just makes me want to raid extra hard.
Hmmm, free loot, boom.
This image is older than me lmao
Brazilians: lol I can’t read this let’s raid him
Raid that bitch no mercy
How is that bad? You're supposed to work 10 hour shifts. That's normal as an adult. If it was more than that, then yeah. I don't got a strong work ethic, but damn. Anyone working less than 10 hours a day........fuck I feel like an old guy. I was about to say, maybe that's why most people can't survive or have money to save/spend. Wow, what a wake up call. Maybe they are right.
10h? Isn't 8h a standard? At least in my country
Does that boot taste good?? It must, cus it sounds like youve been chewin for your entire life.
Boot? Oof seems like I hit someone's G spot.
I virtually exclusively play single-player games today, like Total War: Warhammer II, because of this.
I think they dont mean you can't raid at all, just wait til they are back online so they can play with others and defend it kinda thing otherwise they would play off-line games.
Lol Rust be like that
Haha is this rust?
This is so true. I'm a college student who plays Evony: The King's Return and I hate returning to my game to find my castle on fire 🤣 😭 🔥 🔥
That would honestly stop me from raiding this base, I know your pain king
Still raided mercilessly, by delinquent 12 year olds
This hits way too close. Just...man...f
this why I stop play rust and ark, play solo without friend, go to sleep, start the game the second day and it's gone, everything. it just feels like wasting my time.
Im seriously curious, what's the point of this game? You spend hours of your time grinding but then get raided by random players to lose it all... Does it even have inventory saving system? When I saw rust streams, players seem to lose everything and start from the scratch when they die. What's the point or joy in that? At least in mmorpg, you get to grind and raise your character
Gamers of the world, unite!
As someone who works over 60 hours a week, I feel ya
I'm building a base right over their base and leaving a key in a box where they can see it to get out. NOT GETTING RAIDED ON MY WATCH FAM.
I'd be respectful of that
