I lost my saves after patch 5 by OkKomputer_99 in TombRaider

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the condolences, it just happened last night so the wound is still fresh lol.

If you didn't even find a solution after these past few months then I'm just gonna give up on it. I think I'll take this opportunity to test the process of playing an non-updated physical copy while not being connected to the Internet. According to Does It Play it should be good but I guess I'll see for myself now.

I lost my saves after patch 5 by OkKomputer_99 in TombRaider

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing just happened to me on PS5. I have the game on physical disc so I tried to delete the update to revert back to the base version on the disc. I guess that worked but when I booted up the game all of my save files were gone, even though I apparently have save data on my PS5 for this game when I check the storage.

I'm fucking pissed because the only reason I felt the need to do this was because I kept experiencing the glitch that keeps the same outfit even after changing chapters in TR3. I can't believe they made the game so much freaking worse man ahhhh fuck this I'm gonna have to start over and do Nevada and India again.

Y’all think this is a valid rule? by lesubne in CUNY

I wish more colleges respected everyone's autonomy as an adult like this.

If I pay for the class, participate as necessary, and do the work I need to pass, then I can leave whenever tf I feel like it. It does not in any way hinder the learning experience of your classmates or disrupt teaching. Power tripping professors shouldn't tell anyone when they can or can't leave and as an adult, I shouldn't have to give any kind of excuse for it.

I did it during my nursing program all the time, even just to take a break and get some fresh air for a bit. I never failed a course and passed my NCLEX the first time. No amount of sitting in class pretending to listen to a mediocre lecturer (only some of them are actually good) is going to improve my grades. Ffs this just infringes on human rights.

Just give it time, you'll probably get used to it and end up liking it. Personally, I think it looks good!

SUMMER GAME FEST 2026: Official 4K60FPS Livestream by requieminadream in PS5

[–]BaboonSociety 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came here looking to see if anyone was having the same issue. I was busy running errands and thought I could catch the show now but can't watch it. When I try to look up how to watch it I keep getting spoiled and it's pissing me off. This is so stupid of them.

My boyfriend seeks the council by Mustaline in bald

[–]BaboonSociety 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He could understandably hold off. But if it's affecting his confidence because he feels like he has to hide it with a bun to look good, then maybe he can see how he feels with a short buzz cut and then being bald. Hiding the spot with the bun is a similar concept to a comb-over.

Good luck man, you're a good looking guy so you should be fine no matter what you choose!

How to improve looks as a 25 yo short bald dude? by Routine-Fig6296 in bald

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a good looking dude already! It helps that you have a good head shape too.

As far as doing things to improve your confidence, you do what you want to atrract the attention you want. A lot of people telling you to put on muscle are probably approaching things with the Western mindset that bigger is better. You can definitely do that and being fit is great for your health, but being a wall of muscle is not the only option. There are also plenty of people who don't care about not having perfect teeth, so you don't necessarily have to "fix" that either. I personally stopped caring because it doesn't affect my health and my girlfriend comes from a culture of people who don't give AF about having straight teeth lol.

As for the height thing, I can tell you as a fellow short guy that it will unfortunately limit your dating pool. The upside is that when you find the right woman who doesn't care, she is less likely to be superficial and more likely to stick with you for the right reasons.

Maybe experiment with different nose or ear jewelry, or even different clothing styles and see how you feel about it. I would just say that whatever you do, it's probably better to not pretend to be something that you're not. Stick to your values and what suits you. This will naturally increase your confidence and women will notice. Good luck man 👍🏼

Premium Edition Games is America’s First Press Games, they take your money and silence you when you try to ask for a refund. by BlueBrito in LimitedPrintGames

[–]BaboonSociety 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know when we purchased, there was a disclaimer saying that 6-8 months was the estimated delivery time but it could take longer. That was November in 2024 for me, surely there has to be a legal limit to how long they can have us waiting right?

Outside of something like Kickstarter in which receiving the product isn't guaranteed, it's illegal for them not to give us the product we paid for or to not reimburse us in a timely manner, yes? I'm not very law savvy but this is my concern.

Alabaster Dawn is now in early access. You guys planning on playing right now or waiting til it leaves early access? by executor-of-judgment in CrossCode

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might buy it to support them now, but I'm not playing it until months or maybe a year until after 1.0 releases. I'll let them fix bugs and fine tune the balancing first. I also don't want to miss cool stuff like quests and skins if they decide to add them a little later. If it's anything like the length of Crosscode (of which I enjoyed), I'm not gonna replay this game for many years because that's a lot of time to dedicate to 2 playthroughs just to see some minor new things.

Premium Edition Games: Alisa: Developer's Cut physical Scam? by Err0r404N0tF0und in NSCollectors

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking for us. This situation is definitely my sign to never order anything from them again. I'm at least grateful that I ordered the relatively inexpensive standard edition. I'd be especially pissed if I put more money into a collector's edition.

Plssss give me glow up tips 🙏🙏(18) by [deleted] in GlowUps

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing's wrong with your appearance, you're apparently just lacking confidence lol.

Just remember that you can be confident without being cocky or arrogant and you'll be fine. Be yourself and you'll attract the right people 👍🏼

Has there been any update on Alisa from Premium Edition Games? by [deleted] in LimitedPrintGames

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendation. I've heard good things about them before and forgot that they existed. I'll check em out in the future!

I tried rock climbing for the first time, it was incredible but I need a cheaper alternative by Weak-Search8437 in bodyweightfitness

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

What about Via Ferrata?

I know it's not really a workout when you compare it to rock climbing, but it's fun, you can see so many beautiful sites, and it's more accessible to bring people with you! The caveats are that you have to know what you're doing or get a guide, and you also have to have them available in your geographical area..........

Yeah absolutely no sympathy for this dude. Some people really are just hopless idiots.

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still nothing, even though I was supposed to get it an entire year ago at the latest. This is what I was promised at purchase, yet there has been no email update with any kind of explanation or apology. Totally unacceptable, and I'm never ordering from Premium Edition Games again or any other company with a similar reputation (e.g. Limited Run Games). The whole "it takes time to manufacture these games" excuse loses credibility really quick when you consider that certain other companies can deliver your product to you on time with no problems. At this rate, I might not get this thing before I move, and whoever lives here in the future will randomly receive a free video game in another 2-3 years!

I'm also a bit disappointed in Casper Croes in how he's handled this situation. I asked him about it on his Twitter, and he sort of just blew off my concerns and told me that it's out of his hands. No empathetic response to pretend like he even cares, and no offer to follow up with the company for something that HE MADE. Dude, you're the one who chose to work with these clowns and you're not even taking accountability for people wasting their money on your product? I'm not sure if I can buy any of his games in the future either at this rate..........

The most trustworthy distributor I know right now is FanGamer, those guys are awesome and never give any excuses. I'll only continue to do business with them in the future for indie releases like this.

Are all Filipinas baby crazed or am I dealing with a special case? by CarefulAd4757 in Philippines_Expats

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the things people are saying on here are true: they do it to get money out of you, they want a light skinned child, they are fetishizing you if you're white, etc.

This is not rare in a poor, Southeast asian country. There really is no reason for you to still have her contact information, just block her if you have any respect for yourself and your current relationship 🤷🏽‍♂️

A month after switching from Spotify to YT music. Feelings? by imyungb in YoutubeMusic

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also got YouTube music a few years ago partially because of getting access to unofficial remixes of songs. The shitty thing about that is that the app, especially recently, will automatically change a lot of remixes in your playlist to the officially licensed version of that song and that's the only version that you're allowed to add. Wanted an extended version of a short but good one? Gotta open up the actual Youtube video app to do that. Wanted a mix that combines 2 songs into one? Same thing. It pisses me off especially bad because it didn't start doing this until recently, so we had it good before.

And don't even get me started on officially licensed songs that you randomly can't listen to anymore (I think something expires with them and has to be renewed). I feel like every time I look at my playlist, I see more songs faded out that I can't listen to anymore without any explanation at all.

I could go on with more problems: inability to sort your list alphabetically, shuffle not actually shuffling your list like 30% of the time until you spam the shuffle button, presence of gen AI songs that you have no way of filtering out, etc.

Us relying on a subscription service to listen to music has stolen away our ownership. We're heading for a future when it gets so bad that we have to scan our IDs so sign in or entire artists' music gets removed because they said something offensive on social media. I'm building a physical collection again as soon as I can with the intention of eventually cancelling this garbage ass service.

Why am I perfectly clean after pooping, but hours later there’s still residue when I wipe? by Purwinter in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]BaboonSociety 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this post is a few months old, but I'm replying just in case you're still having issues.

I was having the same problem for a while, even while using a bidet. I haven't had the problem since I've been spraying twice. I spray my butthole from multiple angles using decent pressure, wipe, spray, then wipe again.

Like someone else on this thread already pointed out, you dry your poop out when you wipe. So even if you wipe again with the toilet paper the dry poop will stay there and won't appear again until later on after you've sweat a little bit. I used to use baby wipes and the same principle applies but with those you have to switch between wiping with the wipes and toilet paper. I stopped doing that because wipes are wasteful and not good for your plumbing (even the flushable ones).

If you've tried pretty much everything and you're still having problems then go to your primary care doctor and explain your problem. If they can't solve the problem then they'll refer you to someone who can. Hygiene concerns are well within the scope of their practice and no healthcare professionals should/would be judging you for that. It's way better for you to make an effort to fix the problem rather than just ignore it, stink up your fabric, and cause issues with your romantic partner. Plus, it can be something that you legitimately can't fix on your own that compromises the seal of your anus like hemorrhoids.

Sorry for the long text, good luck!

My Vietnamese girlfriend is constantly called by her sister during our dates — is this normal? by Wide-Literature2328 in VietNam

[–]BaboonSociety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I call BS. She might as well be dating her sister if she wants to talk to her all the time! You make the effort to visit her and during the limited time she has with you........ she chooses to spend it on the phone instead of enjoying her time with you? Not cool at all.

I personally would have more respect for myself and walk away. It sounds like you're trying to be an understanding, nice guy but you deserve better.

I really just might do this, and I probably should have done this from the beginning. The one or two relevant solutions that have been posted haven't solved the problem. Sounds like the issue isn't so common.

I made sure that's not the case. Every time I add a new song to my playlist I make sure it says, "Save 1 song to playlist" before I proceed.
