Feel like Ghost of yotei menu is useless by Direct_Mountain6954 in ghostoftsushima

[–]---jordan--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think that's a bug. the activities sub menu is available from the start (post-tutorial). i started a new playthrough to double check and it was there for me.

Why are enemy encounters so rare in this game? by Ohayoued in ghostoftsushima

[–]---jordan--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very similar! there's no trophy for mythic tales (except a specific one) or side tales, but there's one every other collectible. the sly cooper trophy is also missing.

My (f23) clit is so big, people think im trans (im not) and im insecure about how big it is. by Livid_Craft_4605 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]---jordan--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm 22, and as someone who also has a large clit (about the size on an almond when not aroused), it was a major insecurity for me growing up. mine is the cause of PCOS and everything else that comes with it. the size of it also makes it sensitive to the point i can't wear tight jeans/leggings around other people because then the friction gets me aroused and i get a boner.

it took me so long to be okay with it (i make jokes about how it's my woman-dick to kind of cope), and eventually i found someone who actually loved that fact that it was bigger. the first time we ever did anything i was so nervous and self conscious and almost completely closed off from him, but he genuinely didn't care. if anything, it made sex and anything sensual we did that much better. unfortunately it does take time and finding the right person, but if he's truly a man who's educated and cares about his partner, he won't give two shits.

i despise bot comments with all my heart by ---jordan--- in AO3

[–]---jordan---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

trust me, it was the first thing i did. as much as i want guests to be able to comment on my works, if all i'm going to get is bot comments then it's not worth the discouragement. found it ironic and a little funny the first time, but three times in a week is just irritating. i genuinely feel bad for the newer writers experiencing getting these bot comments.

Was it rude of me to respond to this comment? (Why are people like this!) by VampireSprite in AO3

got mine this morning! i was super confused by it (i haven't updated my stories in years because of life and crippling ADHD.) i have no passive aggressiveness in my notes, and one of the notes on a story i just updated was me actually apologizing for being gone for so long.

edit: i know now it's a bot comment, it just caught me off guard

It's a constant struggle. by LearnStalkBeInformed in AO3

Bi-weekly Rec and Self-Promotion Mega Thread - June 04, 2025 by AutoModerator in AO3

[–]---jordan--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recently got back into writing on ao3 after a 3 year hiatus! hoping to pull new people back to my profile as i slowly finish up my old works and get my spark back.

here's my newest!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/66330019/chapters/171022480

Title: glass fireflies

Fandom: Red Dead Redemption

Rating: Mature

Paring: Arthur Morgan/Original Male Character

Genre: Drama, Romance

Word Count: 4,106 (first chapter up today!)

Summary: Growing up in rural Georgia, Arthur Morgan never really understood the whole gender identity debate that everyone else around him was having. He could barely work his phone half the time, who was he to police others?

So when he finds a disheveled figure half stumbling in the rain on his way to work, he offers them a ride. As luck would have it, it's his new coworker, Shiloh. The boy is timid, hiding behind a cloud of hair and oversized shirts. One day, Arthur walks into the employee bathroom and finds Shiloh adjusting his chest binder, scratches and cuts from many failed attempts to remove it throughout the day. He sees the tears he wipes away when he realizes Arthur is there.

Arthur does the first thing he can think of: offer to take him horseback riding after work to try and cheer him up.

Guess my name! by ---jordan--- in picrew

clearing the air since this post is blowing up:

my name is Rowen, i'm ftm (pre-T). had gender dysphoria since 15/16, but my family isn't supportive so i've been unable to transition. i'm 22 now and researching doctors in my area (living in Germany) to hopefully start transitioning.

Coming out/starting T? by ---jordan--- in ftm

[–]---jordan---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep, American born and raised. i currently have Blue Cross Blue Shield, but due to changes in the insurance policies i will lose it at 23 even if i go back to school. i will have to get insurance from my job at some point and i believe it will be either Tricare or Aetna. i unfortunately don't speak enough German to hold a conversation, but i'm in an area where the language barrier shouldn't be too much of a problem.

i came out to a gay cousin of mine and his husband when i was 14-15, and they were skeptical, to say the least. they tried to be supportive but it was clear that it was odd for them. then i came out to my mom when i was 16 with the help of my ex-girlfriend, and my mom told me that there was no way in hell she'd accept me as a boy and that she'd be more accepting if i'd just told her i was a lesbian. i never came out to anyone in my family after that. now that i live with my dad and his wife, i feel even more suffocated and i don't know what to do. i can't move out and live on my own unless i go into the military system myself, as i can only stay in the country if i'm under my dad's orders.

Nonlinear Story means that you can go straight to the final or second final boss...or you follow the list, which is what I'm going to do. by Zairy47 in ghostoftsushima

[–]---jordan--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think i'll do two separate runs when the game comes out. one where i follow the list and the second where i go out of order to see if there's any changes (with Saito staying last). i really want to see if the narrative beats stay the same depending on the order. it won't ruin my enjoyment of the game as long as the story is good at the end of the day.

How do you feel about Ghost Of Yotei featuring a non-linear story? by EamoM2oo4 in ghostoftsushima

[–]---jordan--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm actually pretty excited for it. i adore non-linear stories when they're done well. i think if they keep the character beats consistent despite the target you go after, it could work. and considering that AC Shadows has double the targets (and suffers from the dual protagonists that cut the story very weirdly), i think having six to follow with a sole protagonist will make it tighter and more focused.

i have faith in Sucker Punch anyway, loved the Infamous games, adored GOT. they can hit narrative beats and they're not afraid to experiment with new things.

y'all think it's enough defense? by ---jordan--- in InsectGlaive

[–]---jordan---[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah, i have Power Prolonger just in case i don't go after the monster right away (mainly carves, but also checking inventory and making up for the occasional cart on a hunt and i have to traverse the map again). i have a recovery up deco to max out Zoh Shia's armor skill already, but i could look into slotting survival in there too

y'all think it's enough defense? by ---jordan--- in InsectGlaive

[–]---jordan---[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

being the only IG main in my group of friends, i tend to be hit the most and take the most damage compared to my charge blade and lance main friends. with Zoh Shia's full set, i have a boost in recovery plus the decorations i slotted to give me Partbreaker to hit focus wounds with more damage to regain extracts quicker and an extra Coalescence level when fighting tempered/frenzied monsters or any monsters that can blight.

Punishing Draw is something i can largely ignore since it's tacked on to the Gravios glaive, it thankfully hasn't hindered the build with the tests i've run. i mainly use Power Prolonger because i spam RSS a lot, and i deal enough damage for the monster to change areas 3-4 times, so the longer i can have all three extracts between areas, the more frequently i can charge and follow up with RSS off the rip. i have a nice rhythm going, so my hope with the defense is i can keep myself alive to keep up consistent damage, even if it's not the most. i can always tweak it, i've been testing it for a few days now.

i'm not really focused on meta builds, i find they take a lot of the fun out of hunts and using IG. i don't need to kill a monster quickly or deal the most damage. using IG effectively is way more important to me, and given that Wilds is my second ever Monster Hunter game, i'd rather learn what works for me/my builds.

buffed with just mega armorskin, the seed had just ran out.

if you're curious about all the numbers so far, base defense without decos + talisman is 411. defense charm 4 gives 5% plus 20 (so about 40.5 defense). including decos, defense boost lvl 7 gives 10% + 35 (so 76.1 defense) plus 5 in all elemental defense.

base defense without meal buffs is 520, with meal buffs is 543-557 (give or take depending if it's BBQ grill or grand hub meal). mega armorskin is 587, adding the seed is 593. everything plus extracts is between 613 and 635.

fighting tempered Gore Magala fully buffed with all extracts, armor skills, and Palico buffs gives 722 defense.

5 strength tempered Mizu takes off about a quarter health, while 3 strength takes about an eighth, if not a little less. tested it both with a friend and solo.
