  • I DGAF about your kids.

    Preach!

    One of the craziest wtf moment of my life resulted from an oversharing parent.

    At a hot summer day a few years back someone posted a picture of them barbequing in their backyard to our company’s “off topic” teams chat. Nothing unusual. I was over at a friends place so I send back a picture of us sitting in lawnchairs having a beer. In comes the third colleague, first time father with a roughly 1.5 year old at the time. So he posts a picture of his kid running around in his backyard. Completly naked, full frontanl nudity.

    It took me a minute to recollect and I messaged him to please take down the picture. I know he didn’t mean any harm and was just sharing his hot-summer-weekend expirence … and he did realise his blunder and took it down. But wtf mate?

    After that I immediately googled how to clear my teams’ app image cache …












  • that’s only because we had an organized server that had a list of who was next in line to get HWL

    Honestly, I loved that kind of meta gaming, all the backdoor deals, even across factions. The drama when some group wouldn’t honour the list or agreements (Been on both sides of it).

    I made rank 13, luckily I already had a better weapon from raiding, so I could skip the last one. Good times.


  • 2 of those years were after I finished school and was just living rent free at home and gaming full time. During that time it was easly more then 12h a day. Though, a lot of that was just being logged in and idle while chatting on teamspeak or doing administrative work for the guild (we ran our own webserver out of a friends house for our forum/dkp system, etc). That’s how I learned programming.

    There was also some account sharing, which was literally required to get to the top of the vanialla PvP ranking. Games were built different back then.
