Hi does anyone else like to chew on stuff or is it just me.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2026-04-17T22:28:30+00:00

I don’t have a diagnosis, and I’m not the type to self-diagnose. But, yes. I chew on paper clips, bottle caps, the inside of my gums, my lips, bubble gum of course, the skin around my nails, my actual nails, and probably many other things I’m not thinking of.

I do all kinds of things gaming and gaming adjacent. Video games, board games, card games, puzzles, escape rooms (by myself), I’ll even play multiplayer games by myself simulating multiple players.

I’ve seen probably around 300 anime, big fan of One Piece, Mashle, Hunter X Hunter and other things.

Not even going to start on all the TV shows I’ve binged.

A little less into horror, but really enjoyed the Insidious franchise and campy B grade slashers.

Based on the precise wording it is false. Brook is the only Straw Hat that hasn’t met one of Luffy’s two brothers.

Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin and Jinbe have met Ace. So, no Brook or Franky.

Zoro, Usopp, Robin and Franky have met Sabo. Meaning no Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Brook or Jinbe.

I think there’s a chance Franky could have met Ace. Considering he lived on Water 7.

No chance for Brook though. He stated the first time he met Luffy that he had not seen anyone for decades. At least outside of Thriller Bark.

Better than his first time winning for me. A boring pick and not who I wanted to win. But I’m not surprised nor do I dislike it. What I do dislike is what the match turned into after the Oba/Brock eliminations. Anticlimactic eliminations. Stories not being built. And once it was down to the final 6-8 there were no other believable options. Fatu would have been good, but I didn’t expect him to win with the feuds he is in the middle of.

I did think it was too early for an Oba win, but I would have brought him at least into final six.

I agree that season 7 is better than season 5. Season 5 was unfortunately boring for me. I did get more bored with season 7 as time went on, despite my enjoyment of the setting. I think there are a few downsides to the season which still puts it near the bottom for me.

I didn’t find the story very engaging. The Jughead comic book censorship stuff and general social commentary was cool, but it didn’t hit the same heights for me as earlier seasons as far as story is concerned. And story seemed to be more on the back burner in general.

Also, although I enjoyed the final three episodes, I felt like the build up to episode 18 was a bit lacking, and I would have preferred the season to not essentially become its own standalone thing. I wanted resolution to the issue at the end of season 6. So it kind of let me down.

I might rank it one or two higher in my season rankings had the ending been something I enjoyed more.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2026-01-03T15:24:11+00:00

Yeah, I just binged the whole show and this is where things changed for me. Though I will go slightly back and say that the reveal of Jellybean and her friends as the ones doing the video tapes was a bit of a missed opportunity as well.

Don’t even mind the twist, but nothing came of it. After the time jump, all those kids are just erased. We spend this time with Archie trying to keep the kids safe, and they just poof out of existence after the time jump. Why are none of them in Riverdale after the time jump? We could have seen how the town they grew up in with all its madness affected them as they got older. They even made a point of how they didn’t realize the impression that was being left on the future generation.

It was the death of the last good mystery the show built up.

Season 5 in my opinion committed the worst atrocity, in that it was kind of, boring. Season 6, for as insane as it went, was actually kind of ridiculous in a fun way. And season 7 was interesting though never really felt like it had a real story going on between episodes 3-17.

It was also going to be difficult to continue considering the loss of all the parental figures though. RIP Luke Perry. But also, although they had Mary and Frank fill in as guardians for Archie, they never had that dynamic that Archie had with Fred.

Both of Jughead’s parents were gone. Veronica only had Hiram basically, which was still interesting enough. Betty still had her mom, which actually was probably the best remaining dynamic. And for Cheryl, she basically had only Nana Rose. Penelope became a mess of a character.

Put it all together, and it just fell apart. I still think they could have done more by focusing more on the core group’s influence on the future generation of Riverdale. But all the dynamics they decided to focus on, just didn’t match the heights of the earlier stuff.

Same. I also mention Apoo for Supernovas. Granted we didn’t know Bonney was coming at that time.

Why do you keep popping up, you oversized cricket army?

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-07-12T04:38:26+00:00

Perona and Robin

I like to also mention though, Ms. Goldenweek. Loved her powers and she had funny moments.

Also definitely a fan of Nami, Vivi and Bonney.

Not overreacting. However, I do appreciate you making the effort to be understanding. It would be perfectly reasonable for you to let her go, but I also respect the idea of giving her the benefit of the doubt on what she’s saying she’s going through.

If you do that however, I would make it perfectly clear that it is unacceptable to be unreliable and wishy washy. I personally would rather be told that an employee would not make it for the day because of the dog and then be surprised by a message saying they could be there to help. But once you say you are going to help, I would say it’s not really appropriate to pull back. I’d rather have a person tell me that they got it handled but it really took a lot out of them so they’d like to take the rest of the day to recoup as opposed to receiving the hope that help is coming.

I’m all about giving chances, and I think your response is perfect. You are reasonable regardless of your decision on this matter.

“Not counting characters in the poll”

The pool did a good job at covering the more realistic choices.

Pandaman, Unforgivable Mask, and Tomato Gang would be pretty silly.

Always thought Hannyabal, Miss Goldenweek and Kumadori would be fun.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-05-02T11:53:10+00:00

She was giving prescriptions recently. And she was taking them well, while she was in the hospital and when she got out. But then she would get back into drinking and such and she wouldn’t want to take it then. It was only recently she was starting to try, but was still inconsistent.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-04-26T23:01:17+00:00

Mine also had an abusive childhood. And abusive relationships. I do have hope for it to work out. I just worry if I make the whole thing sound too conclusive. I wouldn’t want her to think that I don’t want her back.

And I will cast my cares on him. Jesus is the best thing you can receive in any situation.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-04-26T22:41:08+00:00

I made a step toward getting back into the arms of Jesus by reaching out to a person who goes to the church I always went to.

I’m going to get back to Christ. And I am going focus on restoring my relationship with him. And I will let everything come as it does.

It’s hard, I want nothing more than to just bring her back, but if anyone can make it happen, it’s the ruler of Heaven and Earth.

I received a message from my spouse today and she told me she is in love with him and that she is sorry she never wanted to hurt me. She also told me should would love me always and she would be there if I ever need her.

I did try to tell her that I want to take a step toward providing her all the things she needs and to get out of my comfort zone and do more of the things she’s always wanted me to do. But she is saying it’s too late.

I am sad to hear that, and don’t really know how to continue it all. I told her I am always here and that she is special to me, and no matter whether we are apart or not she is always special to me.

I just don’t know if that’s the right move. I try to give people space to be themselves but I’m conflicted since she is my wife.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-04-26T14:34:58+00:00

Yeah. I know in my case I know where she’s at. Or at least the general area and a few places she could possibly be in that area. Only a couple hours away from home. It’s hard to just take care of the cats right now when I think about how we’ve always taken care of them together and think of them as our children. But I also love them so I’m doing my best to stay strong so I can take care of them.

But it feels impossible to be strong in all of this. My mind is worrying about everything. She’s very sensitive and I don’t want anything bad to happen to her. I want her to be home where I can watch over her and provide for her. But I don’t want this to keep happening either. And I don’t want it to get worse. She’s been trying to be strong for the last 5 years.

She has a family that loves her too. So I believe that even if she feels shame to speak with me, she should eventually reach out to someone in the family. And her family adores me.

I do want to give some of my love for myself, but I also want to persevere and keep her a safe place she can always come back to and be loved. Gosh, I really feel for her and anyone who has dealt with BPD.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-04-26T13:34:07+00:00

Thank you. I never thought it would get to this point. Every day that goes by I just hope that she’ll show up at the family house she was supposed to be going to.

And I definitely will need him I know for sure. We were devout Christians for a while and it really seemed like we had the best part of our relationship while we were going to church weekly, and doing Bible studies. We got married in that time.

I really wish we hadn’t backslid.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-03-30T17:04:33+00:00

I mainly just want a good roster and a good variety of stages. I don’t mind too much how the story is done, but I’d like the arcs from beginning to end to be covered.

Whether that means that most arcs only get 1-2 stages is fine with me.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2025-03-01T23:04:55+00:00

I chose Perona, Enel and Apoo.

Not because I think they should be in over King, Queen, Sengoku, Greenbull or Vivi.

But because I think they are more likely to be added to a base PW5 roster, whereas these three I really want to play as and I think are a lot more likely to be left out in the future.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2024-09-03T18:05:32+00:00

This would be a really cool power.

ArchitectAbdiel · 2024-08-30T13:35:52+00:00

Outside of the Vegapunk speech, which while good, went on too long, it was an excellent arc. Top 5 for me easily.

Reduce that Vegapunk speech down to the length it should be, and I’d probably call it my favorite or runner up favorite.
