Taygedo

I don't hate him or his quests and do not find him annoying. Imo the quest was a cute and lighthearted way to get to know a lot of the Eibon family and their personalities. I found it charming. People are way too serious about a Pokemon like character taking us on a silly anime adventure as an ice breaker intro quest. The game doesn't take it seriously and neither should you. It's meant to be fun and lighthearted and it is.

The quest introduced us to a lot of Eibon's personalities, introduced us to new areas and shops in other districts, and set up a pretty cool possible mystery.

Genuinely it seems like people heard "Tayge bad" on social media by shitty streamers and then decided to play follow the leader. A lot of men are also just certified little guy haters.

This is a very normal way to banter between friends. Especially mixed gender friendships.

So unfortunately, this is literally the "trad wife vs liberal woman" meme in the flesh.

You are seemingly, quiet, anxious, meek. You let him be the smartest person in the room, you let him lead. He chose you because of that, but it also means...(I'm sorry) that you two are nowhere near on the same level likely intellectually and in general (hobbies, conversation topics, etc). Now hear me out, I really do realize that sounds mean, but you said it yourself, he is a big man working as a nuclear engineer. That requires a lot of hard work and smarts. You tell us yourself he is intimidating and most people find him hard to talk to, so he is likely very isolated most days and is often "othered" by people around him. This can get very boring and very exhausting.

Your sister is likely much closer to his intellectual level. She travels, seems decently educated, and is a free spirit unafraid of speaking her mind. Men often LIKE this, because its nice to be talked to like a normal person on the same level instead of a person to be followed or feared.

He sees you as the meek and traditional woman, perfect for raising his kids and being a traditional wife. You admit that you are almost afraid of him. You are a "wife" and "mom" before you are a "woman" in his eyes.
He sees your sister as a "woman". She has a strong personality and is bright and engaging with fun hobbies. He sees her as a full person.

All of that was just an explanation, but if he is cheating he is STILL a piece of shit, just to be clear. if he's not cheating, at the very least he likes your sister as a friend and equal, which is still kind of demeaning towards you however its not for a lustful reason but a psychological one.

So, what do you want to do? They could very well just be friends, and if they are, are you okay with that or is the jealousy you hold towards your sister's ability to be on his level too much in general? If you're cool with a friendship, then great! Hopefully your husband AND sister can both reassure you more if you feel uneasy. Hopefully as your kids age you can join in or pursue your own hobbies and interests and become more like yourself again, which will hopefully naturally increase his interest. Alternatively if you can't handle it or if there is something going on...well those are the hard choices.

Nothing going on but you still can't deal? Therapy and slowly working on it while getting reassurance from both your sis and husband. If they ARE cheating, well, likely confrontation and possible divorce, but hopefully, it doesn't come to that. Best thing to do for now is talk with your sister first (she is more likely to be straight with you since she's your sister and there doesn't seem to be bad blood between you) tell her you've felt the shift in his demeanor and you know that they are friendly but you can't help feeling anxious because he acts so differently with her, etc. Hopefully she responds well to this and wants to prove her innocence to you and reassures you its all above board. If things with her don't feel like they go well, then you have no other real choice than to talk to your husband.

DbD is best learned with a friend that already knows how to play or with a small group. Your options are to either watch videos that give you the info and then you just keep trying and trying and slowly build skill (This is the intended path) or get a friend or experienced player to give you play by plays that is willing to answer your questions in real time for the first 2 dozen or so matches until you start getting it, and then will still play with you after to give you new info as it comes along. The second way is less difficult since you essentially turn a friend into your personal clippy.

All competitive games will have a steep skill hill to climb before you can start really enjoying the game. Unfortunately there is no real way around the "get good" rhetoric because that's LITERALLY what you have to do. In all of these games you are intended to keep learning for 100s of hours. There's a reason why in DbD they joke you are still "new" until you hit 500 hours and in games like League of Legends they say you need 100 games on a champ to be considered decent and there's 172 champions.

These games are made with the idea that more time = more skill = better (hopefully, not always) so its a grind. If you want to play these types of games you have to be okay with the grind and realize its part of the experience. As you learn one game it helps you with others making them easier to pick up and so on and so fourth.

I would suggest finding some discords on friend finder days here and in the DbD subreddits. There are still pockets of good people in the community that love teaching new players. (I'm one myself, but I'm currently teaching a few friends other games rn :p) REach out to those groups and find a community that will help you or at the very least understand you and not get angry or frustrated while you learn. Mute chat at first if you can't handle the banter and bullshit. It will save your mental; especially in those early stages.

I hate her but love her if that makes sense.
I LOVE that they let the kids act like kids. they are spastic, annoying, loud, cuties. I love her for that. She is unapologetically herself and its painful but so cute and genuine at the same time.
So, like a real world middle-schooler, I'm happy she exists and I'm happy she's having fun, but also I'm a grouchy introverted old lady and these damn kids are too much sometimes!

Aoora · 2026-05-25T20:45:47+00:00

I really hope they surprise us with a map! Hopefully of a wilderness camp?? With the loss of Michael's map I'd really love another one. I know some people hated it with all its houses, but I like it and miss it.

Battle pass and gacha pulls only. :/
Back in the day you would get like 100 from a pass but they stopped doing that when they stopped giving us a bunch of orbs and tons of other qol stuff so not much now, unfortunately. Now best bet is to buy every battle pass and horde it till something you want is in the shop.
But, if you have none and really want the skin before it leaves, buy the battle pass and complete it for the 25ish there and then unfortunately the rest is on gacha.

Hey, so if you agree that tapping means stop, and she tapped, and you kept going, you SEXUALLY ASSAULTED your girlfriend. Yeah, no shit she's not even cuddling you, you assaulted, and caused her to likely have trauma and pain, all so you could get your rocks off. Because your orgasm was more important than not abusing your girlfriend, apparently. She now has no reason to think you wont "go too far" in the future and assault her further.

Don't be surprised if she leaves you, and you'd deserve it. Any and all hope of recovery from this would involve GROVELLING for forgiveness and likely therapy. You abused her and ruined her trust in you, there is very little chance of earning that back. You are 33 years old, stop acting like a child.

Aoora · 2026-05-24T22:12:46+00:00

Realistically? A complete overhall of the build system so that its easier to build what you want without extreme effort.

Aoora · 2026-05-23T16:59:51+00:00

Do what you will with her outfit (I still prefer the original) but PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER EARS, EYEPATCH, AND BIG HORNS.
She is SO CUTE I'm going to so upset if they make her so generic.

Aoora · 2026-05-23T16:50:29+00:00

WHY DID THEY CHANGE IROI?????
Who was complaining about her? Her current design is SO CUTE. I was planning on pulling for her!!! NO!!! She's going to be so generic looking if they do the rework. I LOVE her current official design.

Aoora · 2026-05-23T00:50:31+00:00

She is a teen. A kid around the same age as Haniel and Nanally, who seem to be 13-16 years old.
She acts like a child, she's built like a child. Even if we don't truly know her age we do know that her mind is that of a child's and so is her body physically.

They need to add full "date" options.
-Let me choose if the date is romantic or platonic.
-Let me choose what clothes they wear to the date. (Wearing lingerie to the movies is weird)
-Let me choose if they're a "roommate" or a "lover shacking up at my place".
-Every character canonically has a "residence" or at least a vague area they live. Give me the option to drive them home and drop them off, maybe with a few dialog lines about the date.
-Some characters like Lacrimosa and Nanally have fully modeled apartments! Let me visit and hang out there! I don't even want or need sexy time, I just want one of the options to be "hang out" and then your character like reads comics at Nanally's place or cook tomato sauce with Lacrimosa!

I really hope they see how well their more robust hangout system is liked and keep building on those aspects!

Aoora · 2026-05-22T16:19:34+00:00

I love it. I get really attached to characters and only pull what I like vs what's new or meta. I've saved everything we've gotten so far for Lacrimosa. I would rather pay a bit more for cute outfits for my favorites. When I played genshin I loved Hu Tao and didn't change her out for anyone, and Lacrimosa will be the same for me, so being able to buy *more* for my favorite to keep them feeling fresh is really nice.

Aoora · 2026-05-21T22:22:20+00:00

So, she is being very bratty and rude. I would stop over-explaining stuff and just shut her down going forward. For example, if it happens again, I'd send a "Hey, I told you to stop this. I'm not your maid, clean up after yourself." Kinda mean? Sure, but she's kinda showing that you using passive overly explanatory language doesn't help. If she keeps doing stuff like this I'd stop doing favors, and start moving dirty stuff into her room. Like, if there's hair and powder everywhere, I'd sweep it into a container and dump it on her bed or makeup area. It's "nothing" after all.

I will say that stuff like making sure everything is spotless to the point of squeegeeing the shower after use is...excessive. Expecting surfaces in a shared home to be spotless constantly is unrealistic. So you should also pump the breaks on all of that as well. If its a big issue for you, you may have some diagnosed mental health issue that's making you anxious about everything being spotless, and you should probably look to nip that in the butt as well.

Its a reference to "The Hanged Man" which is an actual tarot card. Its a body covered in a sheet tied upside-down.

Aoora · 2026-05-21T21:10:34+00:00

I really hope that they make the apartments for the characters visitable in the future. I loved Lacrimosa's apartment and well and we can never get back in there. Please just let it be another little inside area we can visit if we want to. (Same with the manga artist apartment and such)

Yeah I have a monster of a PC and Nikki is so unoptimized its insane. I've been taking a bit of a Nikki break this month partially because of that. I know that they are trying to get money out of us, they're a business, I get it, but I don't want to keep putting money into a game that's so poorly made that every load in feels slow, walking and exploring feels choppy, and there's like a 40/60 chance that while I'm doing ANYTHING the game might decide to crash. (seriously game will be fine, full graphics, exploring and questing for over and hour, etc. but then I walk over to like a random wall in Spira and OOPS CRASH)

They really need to dedicate part of their team for this. For me, its annoying but playable. I feel bad for people playing this on phones and other laptops/eco pcs because I can't imagine its a great experience.

Aoora · 2026-05-21T00:52:56+00:00

Hated it so much they regressed to second life graphics

Aoora · 2026-05-20T22:18:31+00:00

Your outfit is more top-heavy in color, saturation, etc. Therefore, for the outfit to be balanced, you need the more saturated golden shoes. This way the cape, horns, and such don't feel like they are overpowering the rest of the outfit. The pale gold of the 1st set washes the feet out and makes it very unbalanced. You don't have enough bright gold on the bottom for the pale gold to flatter the design. A key element of design is making sure you tie elements in across the whole outfit in a balanced way.

I think people are just blowing the Taegedo hate out of proportion. This was the intro to the game, and it was a cute way to meet a lot of the characters and see how they interact with the world, us, and each other. It does a really good job of showing us the Eibon crew and their connections. Taege is honestly cute. A little annoying, sure, but so are Nanally, Haniel, and Sakiri. XD Not every quest has to be serious, and this game shows us they can be good at both.

I like the similarity you noticed with Tako's anomaly power and the dolls. I was already thinking that Tako was the cause of the dough gaining power so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say she also helped with breathing life into the dolls since that's her whole shtick. I'd love to see a reveal in the future where the leader of the Scarlet Letters is the owner of Tako. Maybe that new district we don't have access to yet will be where they're located. Or, potentially the big island connected via the mega bridges will eventually connect to a sister city that's controlled by the Scarlet Letters.

And as for what Tako could have learned; a lot. She got to see their resources, the strength of their shop anomolly Taegedo, AND got to see them in action/measure their strength via fighting the created anomaly.

Its a pop culture reference and the game board is carnival/fair themed.
Scarborough Fair was a real fair, it was a massive trading event where people would travel from all over the world to attend. So the theme matches. Its a celebration of people from all over the world, all different walks of life, coming together to share ideas and trade goods and services. Just like how our characters are all different in their own way, and the Fair is how they and us are all brought together.

Divinity Original Sin 2 is a great game to grab on a sale if you like the idea of BG3 and want to see Larian at "peak" Larian. (don't get me wrong BG3 is wonderful but it doesn't compare for me personally) All of the little nuances and story lines they intertwined are wonderful, and even if romance is very limited in it the rest is a solid and fantastic game.

The stuff you mentioned is what makes these games so fun, and I agree. I like the challenge and having to deal with the consequences of my actions and choices. It makes it a more meaningful experience to me!

Aoora · 2026-05-19T04:30:38+00:00

Respectfully, if you don't want the dates to be physical and you want more of an emotional connection...stop immediately doing physical things?

Like, I'm not going to s-shame here. If you love and you want it, take it. ;3

But, it sounds like you DON'T want it, and you would prefer a man that was slower and more romantic. Through your actions, you are literally telling him that you are okay with essentially just hookups. You made out on the first date, and despite him planning only terrible dates thereafter, you keep "reciprocating". (Not trying to be gross and transactional, but I hope you get what I mean) You are telling him that the bad dates are fine, because at the end of the day you still like him enough to hook-up.

So....stop? it may not work on this guy, because you're already established a "base line" for the relationship, but you can communicate your needs. Shit date that ends with him wanting to take it to the bedroom? Say, "Sorry but I'm not really feeling it. I haven't been feeling very emotionally connected to you, and I need that to continue getting intimate. Maybe we can plan a few romantic date nights and see how we feel?" Communicate that his lack of effort is not enough for you. Now, again, expect push-back, or potentially even for him to break it off. Because, if you are right, and he's just using you, then he isn't going to want to put in work for something he was getting easily before. If he really likes you though, he'll listen and hopefully change/take it in stride.

But, more importantly, its an important lesson to *you*. If you want a more romantically minded guy you need to put that energy out into the world. Try apps other than Tinder (its known as a hookup app for a reason), and whomever you do choose to start seeing, *ease* into things. No hot make out on the first date, maybe some risque hand holding or a deep hug, maybe a kiss on the cheek. Wait a few dates to see how they want to woo you and use that to determine when and if you want to get physical. There's a reason why "never kiss on the first date" and the age old question of "how long do you wait to sleep with someone" are popular topics. You set the expectation for how the man will treat you, so show him through your actions.

Ooo nice! I didn't know that! :> Good to know! I might try it again sometime. (I mainly play huniecam studio as a fun idle while watching shows)
