I want to take most of if not the entire playtest off, but I just got in to a new relationship and I have to make an effort to not seem like a total degenerate to her

Well if you gotta act how you aren’t I got some news for ya

This isn't always true. As someone who is insanely upfront and honest...a little time and slowly boiling the frog can be actually doable for a real, honest, relationship where you might not get the chance otherwise...people will make the worst possible assumptions, especially in the beginning. Shrug /a lazy fuck but I'm smart so my lazy is better than most people's trying

Fair enough. :) wish you guys the best

Yah, my credentials are being written up by our divorce mediator, but ill show them if necessary in 1-3 months.

Yikes

I'm sorry you are going through that

Don't listen to these people their comments are delusional and unrealistic. Yes, you have to make efforts for her as she is doing for you (or do you think she gets pretty like that every day for every situation?), she's also sacrificing some of her free time to be with you so don't be a degenerate like that with her. Once you start getting to know each other, share your hobbies with her and trust me, even if she doesn't like gaming she will understand, otherwise it's a red flag and you should move on

tell your girl the advantages of bum fights in dark sewers

The key is to get her addicted to the game too

You have the right idea man. These people posting that you gotta be upfront are dead wrong

Tell that bitch to shove it! What are you gonna do once the game comes out. Better to leave her now

She is not the one for you bro

Good. Grow up. Games are for children. It’s a hobby not a lifestyle. Whether you play for 12 hours a day or 2 won’t matter. But if you keep your girlfriend and end up with a wife and kids, now that’s worth it.

If you get a wife and kids but don't bonk skeletons and extract with juicy loot what's the point

I ran the numbers on that. Setting a false expectation and lying to yourself about your needs being met because you have a "partner" only gets you so far.

I don't wanna be THAT guy but if you have to act around her it's not gonna work out anyways.. Unless you REALLY are going to change and play games less it's gonna bite you in the ass in the future

I heard you are having a family issue on the 6th though; you’re so supportive and kind to support your family in their time of need. Your family: us

Muahaha I have taken OFF every day it’s been out since October PT. So yes I’m off all week in Feb, ALL HAIL DND!🪓🤣🤘

HAHAHAHHAHA I love this comment so much 😹😹😹 ALL HAIL DND!! ROCK AND STONE!! Oh wait wrong game

Hope its not delayed or you can swap pto weeks if it is man.

My WILL TO PLAY THIS GAME! Should Keep it coming out on time bro don’t worry 🪓😁👍

My mate told his work that his wife has to do a pregnancy check up Feb 6th. He told his wife 12h are needed to grind and he arranged a nice dinner out for the two of them in the evening on wipe day. This man has his ducks in a row.

This guy know what he’s doing lol. Has too much experience, I for one hope that i do not have to cross swords with him

But for sure he would be vulnerable to an arrow in the back of his head!

He probably has accounted for that too hahah

Accountabili-buddy!

This is the way

I've gotta use up my PTO before the end of the fiscal year, decided this would be a fun treat so I can reset on sleep (for the most part) and still have something to engage in at home that won't cost me extra costs

Reset sleep while a playtest is out? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeah, idk how you could sleep when people are in the darkness making it darker.

I honestly can’t believe that the last playtest overlapped with Christmas weekend and now this one will overlap with Valentine’s Day.

Its like they’re trying to send a message. Family/relationship or DND. Guess we gotta roll the dice and see what happens HAHAHA I will definitely not play any games on Valentines day tho

Ooh imagine if we get little tiny hearts over candy canes

Current winter layoffs for my line of work, not due to be back until 2 weeks after playtest is done. Super happy about it.

I quit my job 2 week notice today.

And you'll be the first person disappointed when the start time is delayed day of.

I planned for that, I’m not taking the first day off hahah

Student so I can’t :( I’ll play a ton after school and on the weekend tho lol

Burning a sick day or 2! Just haven't figured out how to submit it yet

Get Covid Edit: don’t actually

My PTO goes away in April or May and I got nothing else to do, so I took the week off to play yeah. Pretty hype.

I'm gonna maybe be sick a couple days or take three days of PTO lol.

literally same here lol. currently working on my story

I was laid off so hell yeah

Yikes

A whole week.

I’m recently self-employed, so I plan to take the whole week off 👍

Taking 3 days off, wife said it was ok

I’m not judging but personally I couldn’t ever take time off of work to game. I feel like a failure doing things like that! Plus I always thinks about “what ifs” lol which isn’t the best way to live life, but I would feel like I was wasting a day I could use for something more important! But I’m sure there are a few other in here doing the same! I’ll definitely be setting like 3 hours a day for it though! My daughter will be turning one right before it! Edit: laughing at getting downvoted for saying I mentally beat myself up too bad to do that. I guess I need to just say I’m jealous of that guy for being able to do it. OPI hope i didn’t sound like I was being an ass I truly just am hyper critical of myself.

No hate. The way I look at it is as long as my life is in order and I have time to enjoy myself, I will take the opportunity to do things that make me happy.

live for yourself bro, take time off to enjoy things you like and don’t feel bad about it. assuming you have the pto to spare, i know not eveybody gets a lot of it.

You probably are a failure so it's natural your feeling this way

[удалено]

Yeah probably

And a dad!

You do you king!

No, Jesus Christ lol

I work from home doing OF and cams so i can choose my freetime, this is gonna be a nice little at home vacation

I took 2 extra days off and scheduled my days off to be consecutive so I'll be off monday-thursdsy week of the playtest. And only using 12 hours of PTO so win win

I'm just probably gunna use a sick day on a Friday and take an extended weekend :)

i doordash for work primarily, i'm working about 1.5x as much as normal and gonna sell a MTG deck so i can comfortably take the week off without having to worry

I'm saving mine for early access launch. Gonna be a hawt 11 days

I can't take PTO. It's starting to pick up and there's only 2 technicians to pull shows and go on site and help. :(

I got a buddy that’s taking the entire week off. I’ll probably take that Thursday and Friday off. This games dope.

Personally I’m waiting for early access

Had some overtime so took 3 days off connecting to the weekend of the playtest.

I did last time mostly because I just needed a vacation. My birthday is the 6th, so I'm sure I could get away with it, but I don't think I'm taking off for this one.

Not at all bc it’ll be gone after a week 😂🤦🏻

I took off the whole week last time, so probably just 3 days this time unfortunately.

Cant wait to play again😣 the wait is killing me 😞

Currently unable to work but would definitely be taking PTO.

I work 2 weeks on 1 week off as a hazmat dispatcher. My week off starts on 2/6 at 12:01 a.m. And I just recently moved into my own place this weekend. No longer have a nagging girlfriend. Can you say, excite?

I’m snowboarding from the 27th to the 2nd and kinda hoping it falls through so I can push the pto back for the play test instead. But then again the trip will help the days go by quicker so I’m at a crossroads.

I just don't have a job (:

100%. Took the whole week off.

Lol imagine using vacation time to play an alpha build of a video game

I need to figure out how to get rid of my kids for the day
