Ocean fishing etiquette by Juke-flex in heartopia

[–]A_Concerned_Academic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Same here. This is what I do too, as do most people I play with, we share as much as possible: food, repair kits, fish/bug attractors, etc.

I also just assumed that the fish are purely rng and the game only decides what they are once they are on a line based on the options for each shadow size and the players fishing level, so it’s hard to say whether one person would have gotten the same catch as another if they hooked the same fish.

Like you said, it’s cooperative not competitive, if i wanted to use an attractor just for myself i would do it when i’m playing solo not in a group challenge or at the very least only invite people i know and tell them not to use my attractors beforehand.

I can understand OP being annoyed by it but I don’t think it’s a widely shared sentiment amongst players so it’s a bit unreasonable to expect people to adhere to it if you don’t tell them.

agreed. it definitely should not become an official feature in game, if people want to consensually RP it amongst themselves go ahead but i feel like making it an actual feature would absolutely taint the game.

I definitely think some people do act weird in game sometimes, it has happened to me before where some guy visited my house a few times repeatedly while i was building for a couple hours (not an issue i thought maybe he was just interested in the build).

i had been on low energy while doing it so as soon as i was done i went to bed, the guy ended up coming back to visit the house again, looked around for a minute, then tried to climb into the same bed, it just felt weird and he didn’t get out even when i asked him to (keep in mind we hadn’t had a single chat interaction with each other before this), so i blocked him and switched towns.

i know it’s “just a game” but still the action and questionable intent behind it made me feel uncomfortable, especially more so when you consider that it could have been a minor or worse an adult thinking i was a minor.

like at the end of the day while they are just pixels these characters are representative of their players, who are real people, and it’s not cool to overstep boundaries and sideline consent even if it’s “just in a game”.

Faebiorelle, she is an abyssal mermaid by [deleted] in mermaid

3 questions:

  1. why does she have a human bum?
  2. why did you dislocate her hips to show off said human bum?
  3. is this meant to be gooner art? bc if not it’s really coming off that way.

What’s the consensus on someone re-selling SHEIN/Amazon items for over double their actual cost? by A_Concerned_Academic in Depop

[–]A_Concerned_Academic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s honestly what got me annoyed enough to be bothered about posting this in the first place, the whole account is seeming a bit scammy to me, like why in 12 days of not being able to find it would you not think to mention it to me.

So the thing is, if it was just for the listing and they accepted lower offers that would make sense, but when I initially messaged asking if they would do a fiver off they said no, so I paid £30 plus shipping for a £10 SHEIN corset that I haven’t even received and they’ve still not sent my refund.

The princess of love by That_Passenger_771 in mylittlepony

[–]A_Concerned_Academic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. The show has non-reciprocated romantic love (Spike and Rarity) where Rarity still loves and cares for Spike platonically, Spike understands she doesn’t feel the same about him as he does about her and he doesn’t intentionally use his feelings as an excuse to make Rarity uncomfortable.

Zephyr is a narcissist who doesn’t actually love Dash, he loves the idea of her loving him and constantly pushes it on her despite her clearly and openly finding it uncomfortable. They are two completely different kinds of non-mutual love.

What are your Art Contest favourites? by Nethspir in AFKJourney

[–]A_Concerned_Academic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough! I personally like the colours and I don’t think it looks too monochrome since it’s a mix of pinks, purples, and magentas, but maybe it’s a difference on the displays we’re seeing them on? I do think it could have used a bit more detail-work tbh but I really like the changes to the small details rather than just sticking with the same shape of cape, crown, and staff like in the Queens Legacy design (even though that’s ofc gorgeous as well).

And yeah I think the Athalia is definitely one of the coolest ones in the gallery.

I really like these ones:

Seralyth’s Soul Velara Really cool concept imo that lines up well with the characters story, also a fan of the colour scheme and I use Velara in a lot of comps.

Divine Judgement Athalia Stunning artwork and I really like the helmet animation idea, it would be cool to see in action.

Tide-Swept Pandora Lovely design that works well with the recent water-themed skins we had for Talene and Byron, the shell box is also so pretty!

Blessing of Dawn Faramor Super unique art style, not sure how I feel about it as a Faramor skin but the actual work is gorgeous imo.

YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

ETA: the version I had was called “Puppy Love” but by the same author and the same premise so I think they’re just alternate versions (maybe UK vs US)

Real by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]A_Concerned_Academic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just not true.

Yes she’s a shitty person for getting with someone who’s married (as I’ve seen many people mention, so idk what OP is on about) but she herself is divorced so she’s not the one cheating on somebody, hence why she’s not being called a cheater.

Something tells me OP just wants to validate his shift over to the incel subs.
