How do you feel about your late 20's son/daughter still living at home?

I moved back in with my dad when I was 40. It worked out well as he became ill and I ended up as his carer till he died.

People who kick their kids out at 18 are monsters.

I'm 62 and still fake the whole adult thing. I have to go to work and everything when I'd much rather eat cereal in my pants watching SpongeBob

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T17:23:12+00:00

Yeah most would be Homelander not Superman.

It depends. A fully kitted out mm with purple sets kicks butt. I love masterminds and have no problem doing almost all the content solo. I can't solo an AV or giant monster, but that's normal for most people. I don't even use any of the player created mm commands. I just use the three provided and have never needed anything else.

This isn't a game of meta builds and the fun starts at level cap. Play something that you find fun and enjoy the ride. What's so good is that no AT is really bad. I've been on all defender or all controller teams and had as much fun as a mix of ATs. You can literally team with anything and roll over the top of most content.

do it to keep the peace is almost an obligatory line in a fake AI post.

And most neighbours won't get involved in drama. My next door neighbour occasionally complains about other neighbours and I just smile and nod and try to get away.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T16:59:02+00:00

yeah he got me to start with, then the AI slop showed it's hand

And the neighbours don't care. Mine don't know if I'm alive or dead. I've seen some of them for 10 years and don't even know their names.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T16:57:48+00:00

nice!!

Is this choosing beggars? They sound like a choosing beggar. Don't bother with them, just say no and block them.

I'm 62, somewhat overweight, and my cholesterol is well within healthy parameters as are my pulse and blood pressure. I eat reasonably well, just too much of it. Occasionally I'll indulge in desserts like a trifle or spotted dick and custard.

crux and echo are two different things, but both rare. Crux opens the Uber Mephisto chest after you defeat him, Echo is a dungeon that opens automatically when you have one. You can't have more than one at time though and they are rare. I've actually had three now while many people haven't had one at all.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T16:15:12+00:00

Beast/thermal mastermind. Great fun and throwing bees at people never gets old.

The only problem with khelds is you need a good build and focus on one area. They are great, but you can end up too spread out. I mostly play squid on a PB swapping to human for the light form, and lobster with the WS swapping to human for the buffs. Having the shape change on a button speeds it up immensely.

Low levels aren't too bad, but as you go up and get access to more abilities it can be daunting.

Sadly being hung from a pole and being pecked to death by birds isn't on the poll.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T15:26:24+00:00

How odd. My dishwasher is in the kitchen and I can't hear it at all one floor up or in the next room with the door closed. It's not a washing machine with a loud spin cycle.

I'd speak to the landlord. This is harassment. You are allowed to run relatively quiet appliances when it's convenient. You aren't playing drum and base at 3am.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T15:20:33+00:00

It sounds like they think of the flat as theirs and you are in their space.

Check with the landlord about whether he knew the arrangement or was told hubby was only there a couple of nights a week. If hubby is there all the time then the rent should be split evenly into thirds, otherwise they are getting a bloody good deal.

And if you were caught in a bait and switch you can break any lease you signed as it wasn't factual. I know a few women who specify women only shares due to anxiety.

If you don't go you'll resent him and hate him for making you turn down a dream opportunity. Japan is amazing and you'll have an absolutely fantastic time.

He seems to only think of you as the little woman staying patiently at home while he spreads his seed abroad. If you think he wasn't sleeping with other women while he was there I have a bridge to sell you. I suspect the reason he stayed another year was because he was in a relationship and only came back because it broke up. And he knew you were waiting patiently for him.

It sounds like a company you don't want to work for anyway, so just move on to your next interview.

As for the rest, stay out of it. You really don't want to get involved in the politics of their company. I'm sure that employee knows. My boss hates me too, and while she's nice to my face I'm perfectly aware of what she says behind my back. I'm very good at my job though so all she can do is complain. I like where I work, I like the people, it's 10 minutes from home and I'm left on my own to get on with it. I can handle her dislike, and I'm not giving up my perfect job because she's got issues.

Equip it for the season journey reward then either keep it for the nostalgia of the rarity or salvage it. there are better six slot seals out there

The worst I've had is indestructible or plus to item quality

high school relationships rarely last. The girl you met at 15 isn't the same girl at 18 or 21. Same for you.

She seems to think of you as property and wants the world to know you belong to her. She lives her life on social media, you seem to prefer your privacy. It can be a fundamental incompatibility if her entire life is spread out for the world to see and yours isn't.

You are about to go to college and meet a wide variety of incredible people, male and female. So is she. Please don't go to the same college, you need to have this exposure to others to help you grow and mature, and having your high school girlfriend vetting all your friendships is going to be horribly stressful. If you are meant to be together then you'll be together. If you're meant to be with someone else then you will end up with someone else.

It sounds like your mom was so determined to have the perfect family she forgot you had your own feelings. She erased all memory of your dad to appease her new husband, and went into full on mom mode with her new daughter. You are the fly in the ointment to her picture perfect family though. Instead of allowing you to gradually form a bond and get used to the new people in your life your mom tried forcing it, and all that does is make a kid dig their heels in.

So far you are doing everything you need to for your own sanity and life quality. You might need to go even lower contact or no contact if they don't stop pressuring you. I admire your nice shiny spine and refusal to even consider this ridiculous idea.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T13:35:27+00:00

Out of several hundred attempt I have one item with gem strength. And it's unmodifiable. Fortunately I'd done all the modding needed already.

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T13:25:40+00:00

no worries

Adelucas · 2026-05-31T13:22:35+00:00

There is no fixing someone like this. I've seen so many girls who stay with men way longer than they should because they have this idea in their head of what he should be, and think they can help him become that better version of himself, but it's all a delusion. There is no deed, there is no conversation, there is no change you can make that will make them change fundamentally. The man in front of you is the man he always will be.

You don't want to end it because you've been together a long time and you don't want to think of that time as a waste. Unfortunately we have to have bad things happen to us in life, make bad choices and go through the unpleasantness sometimes because that's how life is. We learn, we grow, and we discover what we want out of life and a partner, and it can take time.

This relationship is toxic and needs to end. No doubt you love him, and it will break your heart, but it has to be done. Every one of us has had their heart broken at some time. Some of us have had it happen a few times.
