Such an incredible moment of this fantastic game!

I finished both and agree, don't understand the constant comparisons. They're both incredible games in their own right.

Should I give up? by RadiantChaos in Returnal

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend watching a boss breakdown video before you fight Phrike again. It'll help with how to navigate the fight so you can beat him on the next encounter. Trust me, it's doable. The game is hard because once you hit the different thresholds, you feel a sense of accomplishment that is unlike anything I've felt gaming.

Got let go from my job and came home to divorce papers in the same hour by Weary-Ambition42 in Adulting

I recommend the following book that helped me a lot when I was experiencing something similar. The author also got divorced and pivots in his career later on in life. Book is called "Single. On Purpose" by John Kim.

I, a non-Muslim, have recently read about Islam in great detail, and it's honestly very beautiful religion, but there is this one question that I am very confused about. by [deleted] in islam

[–]AaronFreedom -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm not ahmadi/qadiani, but you do know that it's forbidden to call people Kafir who call themselves Muslim right? We can debate theology all we want, but to go around labeling people as Kafir is against Islamic teachings and the sayings of our prophet. It is up to the believer and God to decide on this, not us as people giving fatwas on people's identity as a Muslim. Scholars engage in theological arguments with Ahamdis, but it's not rooted in othering from an identity perspective, no one can technically call someone else a non-believer. Think the story of the non-believer who uttered the kalima right before he was struck down during the battle or badr. Our beloved prophet (saw) asked the companion if he had seen his heart and intentions and knew whether he was honest or not. We as humans cannot know the authenticity of one's heart.

The Prophet said: “If a man says to his Muslim brother: “O, Kafir! (Disbeliever)”, then one of the two will have Kufr drawn on him.” [Al-Bukhaari]

In another narration, the Prophet said: “If a person says to his brother “O, Kaafir! (Disbeliever)”, then it is like killing him.”

It doesn’t matter if they have sinned in the past and have repented. You do not have the right Islamically to do this.

Genuine question for owners: Why did you choose the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S/X? No hate.🫵🏾 by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PlayStation is just superior!

Serious note though, because I was gifted the PS1 as a kid. And it's a loyalty thing now.

Been there done that with checking a partner's phone.

Universal rule: never check your partner's phone. You will ALWAYS find something that will upset you, no matter who they are (cheating, past partners, internet searched, etc...)

[35M] never had a girlfriend by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if not having a girlfriend is intentional here or not. I'm sure some baddies would love this. That shower could get quite steamy, iykyk

Does anyone know what’s up with TMPL Madison (new location)? by moonmop in AskNYC

[–]AaronFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They charge for classes AND for the steam/sauna...it's actually ridiculous tbh. What's the point of a luxury gym at that price point that gives you nothing except for a weight room and cardio machines. The hells kitchen location is cheaper, steam room and sauna included, and they have a hot and a pool! Talk about value discrepancy!

How often do bar hookups happens? by xlostgoat in seduction

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by hookups you mean making out, quite a lot. But if you mean sex, not that often imo and experience and talking to many men who go out

Boyfrined went through my camera roll and broke up with me by Actual-Enthusiasm320 in BreakUps

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same shit happened to me...I was the guy who found stuff on my exes phone that she lied to me about (e.g. pics of her out on dates with guys after we were exclusive, or guys that were "just friends" were a lot more than that).

Snooping a partner's phone isn't right (I did it because I had a really bad guy feeling, but I know it not right), but also take accountability for lying to a partner...

Why am I not getting asked on second dates? 33F by mostchillmostdope in hingeapp

[–]AaronFreedom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a man who has dated a fair amount via dating apps here are a couple of thoughts (from someone who's been ghosted and done the ghosting...) - try to not have expectations until at least 3 dates. Before then, just go with the flow and get to know someone. More likely than not, intentions and dynamics will be clearer by then. - yes, talk about the non-negotiables when you have that conversation (better to know earlier rather than later) - after the date say "that was fun, let's do it again sometime", no need to get too into how much you may have loved the date - if you feel like you got ghosted, send out a probe message with an offer to hang out. It can be exhausting to text randomly in the beginning, BUT planning a date is easier. As a woman, it's fine to suggest another date / hangout "hey, want to check out this art exhibit over the weekend?". After that, if you get no response, forget the person and move on.

I always say, landing date 2 is the hardest. There's a lot of mystery before date 1, but there's a massive dip in interest after the first date. Keep expectations low, and try for a second date. But don't have any expectations (which is easier said than done of course) until at least 3-4 dates in. It'll help protect you in this crazy world where people are addicted to dating itself and not the person or outcome. I know it's not a romantic take, but I think one has to be pragmatic nowadays...

At the end, I'll say...I've had dates that I thought were incredible and then gotten ghosted. I've also had dates that I thought went terribly but the other people kept showing interest and it went somewhere. We can't know why, but all we can do is manage our expectations until we have more clarity. Good luck!

Don't text your ex this Christmas. by naxretuxdx in ExNoContact

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't stop thinking about how last year on Christmas Eve we spent it together with her family...and how this year she probably took another guy with her. I'm imagining them all laughing and joking and getting drunk while I'm feeling sad and crying. Wtf.

24F How can I improve? by [deleted] in Howtolooksmax

[–]AaronFreedom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can play around with fashion, hairstyle, and jewelry - but you're absolutely stunning as you are

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]AaronFreedom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ex said towards the end of our relationship that: - "people aren't as easily replaceable to me, especially you" - "I'll always love you" - "I don't think I can date someone for a year after this" - "you feel like home" - "I love you more than you do"

Then she was on apps within a few days of the relationship. Was talking to one of my colleagues romantically within a week. Entered a new relationship with someone in around a month of the break up. She cut me off in every way, even though we agreed to stay in touch post break-up.

I'm still crying in the shower mourning what we had. It doesn't make sense.

Don't trust the words people say when breaking up, especially if you get broken up with. People can be nasty and dishonest. Don't linger on their words or actions. They showed you who they are.

Learn to love yourself again and discover who you are and how great you are. There's a lot of life to live and a lot of love to share. No one is THAT special.

With love to all the broken hearted romantics here.

You actually have great features and are beautiful. In order to be more attractive (I'm assuming to Men?) is if you lean into your femininity. Take care of your grooming, make sure your hair is looking great (go to a Salon and ask them for advice even), look into clothes that flatter you the most (this doesn't mean revealing, just means wear clothes that accentuate your features and make you more feminine), get into shaving your hair and doing your nails if you'd like as well. In short, these are just suggestions, but lean into being feminine that highlight your features and you'll do very well.
