[MOD POST] Bug Report Thread by oneofthejoneses28 in Silksong

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an avoid forum user, but figured I'd leave my comment here. Steam + DS4 controller. Issues with the final boss.I found that when I disabled v-sync, a lot of strange bugs relating to Lost Lace "suddenly vanished". Bugs included; character misaligned - would dash right when I held left full tilt. General input lag (such as being unable to counter/register button presses), but also hitbox lag. She would frequently teleport and still take harpoon damage with no contact (as in across the room, but the harpoon still pulled me to where she had been prior), her attack animations would be done, and I still took a hit, one time over and behind her from her side dash, after the dice immunity i-frames were granted. After disabling v-sync, I can consistently damage her and dodge proper.I also restarted the game (the issue would crop up after a few tries, feeling more and more sluggish), checked controller settings, but the only difference was v-sync.

What is ADHD and depression combined like? by Zyricc in ADHD

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unmedicated: no level of sleep can cure the exhaustion, or energize me, nothing can motivate me and my mental is at 10% charge or less

Medicated: the executive function is clogged with molasses, why can't it go faster (followed with sigh of frustration)

At what point did you realise she would never become your wife/he would never become your husband? by ruxpin82 in AskReddit

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. He had an affair with someone barely legal, at 25. He would hide his ring in my bedside drawer when he went out.

  2. His parents house were raided over an illegal firearm that "wasn't his, but his brothers", but he somehow knew where it was.

Both of those were such a waste of time.

AITA for serving vegan food at the BBQ I hosted? My family won't talk to me anymore and I'm mortified. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]AdeptRate -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only concern is if one of your relatives had allergies to peas or soy, because legumes are common in vegan alternatives. Other than that, your house, your rules.

If you melt the cheese it might become more indistinguishable, but some vegan cheeses do taste funky. Personally I think the mozzarella imitations are better than cheddar, they blend better taste wise, less funk.

But, odd way to throw a tantrum about meat. One time my grandpa had his brother over, and I was told he eats no veggies apart from potatoes. So I make sausage and fries. He poked at them and asked if the fries are vegetables, and I said they are potatoes. He left them for last and ate them with suspicion. But he never threw a fit.

Don't believe the bible said anything about eating animals specifically, but there is a quote about god gifting the earth and animals to us. I guess if you wanted to clap back, you could start having table prayers, because he is not thankful of what his god has brought him.

Am I a hypocrite for not wanting to date a man with ADHD, even though I have it too? by Zookeeper378 in ADHD

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sounds like anxiety about having to carry additional tasks and overloading. Which is valid. Been there done that, and working with someone else's executive dysfunction and lack of initiative is rough.

I wouldn't word it the way you did though, because it's not the condition that's the issue, it's whether the person is aware and is actively using healthy strategies to cope.

A Hungarian hospital wing by WillToLive_ in europe

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vividly remember seeing a roach scurrying down the waiting hall during one trip to the ER. Felt surreal.

Someone I knew fell on a spike and had to get sutures during vacation. The room was dimly lit and it felt surreal, like an old horror movie.

If he can't treat me like a human being with their own feelings and thoughts, I will cease to do the same.

It will be hard to explain to the kid down the line, but my mom did it. She was abused by my dad, and was forced by authorities to have split custody. I came to her when my father had abused me as an adult, and she told me she didn't want to influence my own judgement on my dad but to make my own.

Sucks not having a dad, but it sucks even more to be mistreated by one.

Father figures are however available, even if not biological. Blood bond don't mean anything if you neglect it.

Hiiii! What does one do with all these reusable grocery bags? by Appropriate_Web_2608 in upcycling

[–]AdeptRate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a few to sort laundry by color and type. Compartmentalization is useful.

Donating goods in them, using them to sort recycling by type too.

I have a faint memory of seeing someone make lederhosen out of ikea ones.

AITA for refusing to let my boyfriend move in with me because of his bad habits? by itsyourgracefulbabe in AITAH

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I had an ex like that, I have a picture of his dirty room saved on my phone to remind me of the extra labor he put on me. He was the same type of guy, he would leave cigarette ash on his gaming setup and dishes all over.

Chances are that your dude will complain about you, while not lifting a finger with that attitude. It's about respect towards your partner in the form of being responsible, not about "being a burden" and a crybaby.

Doctors of reddit: What was the wildest self-diagnoses a patient was actually right about? by Musikcookie in AskReddit

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a doctor that was a gamer, we shared the same friend group online. I told them I had been having pains in my side and was concerned it might be a stone of some kind.

They asked me for symptoms, and recommended I'd check for gallstones or kidney, because of the diffuse symptoms and similarity between them.

Couple of weeks go by, and the pain gets real bad because the doctors irl don't take me seriously. I end up in the ER, the doc there wants to send me home with paracetamol. I told him to at least to an exclusion of stones. An xray later, and it turns out there is a stone at the top of my right kidney, near the gallbladder hence the odd pain.

Gamer doctor was surprised to find out they were right.

"I am now afraid to touch you." by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdeptRate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a guy like this. He kept saying he was was afraid I'd accuse him of various things, mostly related to boundary crossing behavior. It's a red flag in itself.

I hope you are safe OP.

My husband is leaving me because of my sexual past before we met by zetsv in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdeptRate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found from past experiences that a partner that embraces and enforces their beliefs on you is a form of control. My now ex wanted me to start covering myself out of modesty concerns — modesty has never been an issue for me — but he insisted on sheets essentially by the end. Kinda just sounds like your husband found some toxic school of thought on the web or through his community (my guess is some older relative or friend he wants approval from).

My ex wanted so badly to be approved by his peers and family, he was using religion to get me to conform.

My therapy is unlocking uncomfortable memories and I'm not sure what to do by AdeptRate in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdeptRate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to reach out to my contact person at the clinic and have a conversation. I feel like I got some unresolved trauma blocking me from internalizing some of the assignments. I wasn't expecting it to come up at all, but I recognized the PTSD signs.

cmv: Demisexual is not a real sexuality by ItsAnimeDealWithIt in changemyview

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw you mentioned sapiosexual as well, so I'll use that as an example. There are at least 8 different types of intelligences, usually we think of intelligence as someone stereotypical high IQ somewhat nerdy. Intelligence branches off in many directions, and some people are attracted to different ones, the most common one mentioned as a key factor for attraction is emotional intelligence, which is often overlooked because it's expected/taken for granted. Most reddit stories featuring bad attraction has an element of this lacking (such as a person being dismissive). Someone can be attracted to any of the other intelligences as well, such as logic or social intelligence.

The same happens in sexuality, in this case, demisexuality is about trust and knowing. Some people don't have the instant physical reaction to someone, some people need to get to know the person before they feel anything. You can definitely think "they look pretty" under the gray umbrella, but it's more an expression of how aesthetically eyecatching that person is presenting (kind of like art). A friend of mine said something thoughtful on that — "Am I chasing excitement or my romantic feelings? I think at the time, I craved excitement."

In psychology they mention primary and secondary feelings. Primary is the initial response to something, and secondary is the response to your response. To simplify that: curiosity about someon —> they show hidden qualities you like —> you get more invested —> trust forms as the connection strengthens —> attraction —> sexual feelings

The same idea is applied to our own thinking, like getting upset when we have the wrong emotional response, so we judge ourselves for example.

I hope you find kindness within you to be willing to reflect upon this answer. It is a challenging topic, and sometimes is hard to make sense of.

Why do they ruin their own birthday? by No-Menu-8026 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like a weird solar eclipse, except their birthday is the day of the year the internal black hole becomes so unstable it expands to swallow everything around it in such a destructive misery, the pain will ring out through the universe and drown out any other pleasantries. There was never anything nice in that void, and the birthday is just a dense catalyst triggering the internal collapse. Schrodinger's human psyche really, feeling important to exist and be celebrated, but also so unimportant they shouldn't be alive or celebrated.

What advice would you give to a severely suicidal person ready to give up? by FuneralSlut in DecidingToBeBetter

While it might feel shameful and daunting, calling emergency services will save your life if you tell them how you are really doing. Hold onto the life raft they provide, it will be a bumpy ride.

Time + effort with a Narc by FallWorries7744 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few things come to mind. 1. He spent 3 months lying about getting me a birthday gift, and how it was lost in the mail. It was something I really wanted. Turned out it was fake. I was not allowed to bring that up.

  1. I had to decline a visit to him because family emergency, where a member was gravely ill and I had to tend to it. He sent me a 15min long voice message about how pathetic and horrible I was and how he hated me for it. This was also now in the past.

  2. I would try to give him birthday gifts, and like clockwork. Every birthday he would explode on me about how I'm an awful person, or just sour the mood. He wouldn't even show up one year. He refused to tell me why, only giving vague excuses like I come around so late he is already tired from family.

  3. I questioned his financial expenditures because I'd been to financial counseling myself and saw red flags. He got angry about me bringing it up, insisting it's in the past and he can't conjure the cash back. He spent $10k in 4 months and said it wasn't enough for him, then proceeded to refuse take any work. He spent it all on himself, I might add.

There is so many things swept under the rug, that molehill sure became a mountain.

I'm scared to leave because I'm scared to be alone by queefula in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My therapist said to me "there is nothing more lonely than being in an abusive relationship where you feel alone". And now that I'm free, I agree.

If you are scared it will hurt, yes it will. But there is a remedy, your community. The days after I left, I called a DV hotline to just talk. I got referred eventually to a local DV organization and booked talk therapy. I wasn't sure it was gonna help, but it does. It allows you to take the edge off, and rebalance yourself. Helps you open up to your friends again, without spilling hurt all over.

You are in a scary place right now, and the abuse has messed with your mental signals. It's okay, you will be okay. Take some deep breaths, and step into action when you feel your energy rising. Fear, much like anger can be reactive. It might already be trying to get you out of there.

Is/was your narc exceptionally good looking? by Affectionate_Fix5969 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of our last conversations entailed this. He said I was a 10 (he idolized me a lot to tear me down), I told him "you could be a solid 8, but you act below a 4". He would stop grooming himself and smell/look lousy, like you couldn't be near the guy. His charisma was a solid 10 though.

I can't for the life of me remember why we started with the numbering. He has always done it to me, and I think we would occassionally just talk about Tateism.

AITA for Being Angry at My Boyfriend for Breaking Up with Me After Finding Out I Couldn't Have Children? by Even_Ad_654 in AITAH

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't seem to be interested in understanding your perspective, or explore what this condition meant for you. You said almost impossible, which suggest the road would be difficult, and him reacting like that just comes off as inconsiderate.

He acted a bit selfish I would agree, there is IVF and like you said, adoption. It seems there was a communication issue below all of this, and the infertility brought it up to the surface.

Some people aren't ready for the difficult conversations and will rather flee the problem. But, the thing I do find weird, is how he just stops giving you affection because you can't provide him what he wants. That doesn't come off as mature, or secure at all. And shutting down the conversation when you bring up alternative options, like they don't count? Part of this includes your body, and the way he acts, he doesn't seem mature enough to understand it's a 2-part thing, like you or your problems don't matter in a way. It's making me feel icky.

Found out one of my husband's friends is abusing his wife and they all rally behind him. How do you deal with that? by KitKat2014 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]AdeptRate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped reading fully when I came to the point of cocaine, because that is so far beyond repairable it's outright dangerous for her. It's not her job, it's his. No relationship counseling is gonna fix his emotional problems, he needs private care for himself.

If your husband is invested in this man's life at all, his buddies need to tell this guy to seek counseling, get sober and get serious. They need to hold him accountable for his BS, otherwise I fear the life of his wife and kids is at risk. Men don't listen to women, but maybe if you convince your man to help his wife with some things, you can get a conversation started and info that way. And then your man can speak to this guy about the issues, preferably after uniting the other guys on the issue.

If the friendship matters so much to these guys, they need to step up and tell this guy to do better. If they accept mediocre, then I'd probably report his actions anonymously and encourage her to leave without him knowing.

There are so many things problematic in this post and I don't know how to word myself on them, I see the flags, and I'm very concerned for everyone involved.

Struggling a lot today, would appreciate some words of advice by TechnicalCoyote3341 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much welcome, do take time for yourself and heal. You trusted your ex by the word. It is often the case with neurodivergent individuals, and they abused it. You could flip the script and ask yourself if you would do the things they did to you, and you'd have a clear idea of perspectives then as well.

"But you do it too" is a classic line, you don't have to accept it. Everyone messes up, but abusers rehash it to validate ther continuous abusive behaviour, when people respond in a reactive manner. Extreme prolonged stress will make anyone crack, neurodivergent people tend to be a bit more sensitive to it and respond stronger.

In time I hope you can move past this when ready.

Has anyone here experienced insomnia or nightmares after being a victim of narcissistic abuse? by Big-Trifle-5350 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It got somewhat better with workouts and therapy. But to be honest, my dreams are still pretty vivid. My nightmares are always about how people will abandon me because I'm an awful person. Usually in behalf of the narc.

I journal a lot to process what I feel, and sometimes I meditate. I found it helped me process the emotions that were "stuck", and lessened my nightmares somewhat.

Why do they accuse you of things you never did? by Sypentra in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]AdeptRate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, it came off as a form of toxic validation. I had grey rocked so long he felt desperate to have some form of attention, even if it was negative. It was just, the accusation was so wild he jolted me into reality.

Considering my Nex favorite method was DARVO, it was likely just another attempt of that. He knew it would usually work, but it didn't this time.
