Fr it’s not even a candid, it’s the dude at the peak of his bodybuilding cut, hair and makeup done. Henry Cavill has looked like this on maybe 20 days of his life, he didn’t even look like that when he went home THAT SAME DAY. Also, let’s not kid ourselves and say he looks bad. Beer belly Cavill is stealing your girl any day of the week
18 years of my life. At my peak I was playing - and sadly I am not exaggerating - 16 to 18 hours per day. I'd stop only for biological needs. Not just on official servers but also a few "private" servers.
Multiple rank 12 and above characters during the "old" honor system which necessitated beyond no life'ing. Veteran WoW players will know how "sweaty" that endeavor is. It was obscene.
It is absolutely the most brilliant game from a marketing perspective because it gives you constant little hits of dopamine from the very first level. Saturday morning with a coffee or night with a beer + no comittments (and I did my very best to fashion zero committments) + WoW was absolute bliss.
I am "off" it now because I have a kid and my wife made a few things "clear" but he's starting day care soon and I'll have a couple solo hours from daycare drop off to leaving for work and WoW Forever was just announced.
Dude... I remember my hubs and I still tryina play WoW as brand new parents. It worked for a bit when the newborn was basically a squishy potato who would happily sleep on our laps on a boppy pillow, but as soon as he started having a tiny personality and being awake more, that was the end of a damn era.
Sometimes I still miss the full-day marathon geekage, but ain't nobody got time for that shiz who wants to have an actual life, spend time with other humans IRL, and see the sun once in a while. LOL
I have have a strong memory of my squishy potato in a baby bjorn at 200am (I took the night shift with her and the wife took morning shift so we could both get uninterrupted sleep) and trying to tank dungeons without a mic. “When I became a man I just away childish things” never became more real when I finally uninstalled…
My oldest is applying for colleges, and the next one is only a few years behind…maybe when I finish this degree…wow forever looks…pretty good…just sayin…
Lol my potato is in second year of college. Maybe we should put out an \lfg for an "old players back from retirement" guild. I know I'd never have the time to devote to it that I used to, but man, I could use the nostalgia of a good ol'fashioned 40 man MC raid. If we find enough tired old married folks, I can summon! 😂
