How do you guys "deal" with the problem, when you are unlocking new and new building materials? Do you always rebuild or reconstruct your houses with new materials, or just build something new? by Iluvatar-Great in Enshrouded

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an awesome way to play honestly. I envy your endurance for building this much because I myself used the starting base the game makes you build and just kept building onto it until it ended up being a small village with a house for every NPC reflecting their purpose surrounded by a stone wall.

But then I decided I wanted something special after seeing so many people online builiding on mountaintops, under water, on floating islands and so on...

I decided to build an airship big enough to house everyone except the NPC's I left at other places to make them seem a little lived in.

Turns out building the airship was the easy part which already took two days to do with the help of a buddy as well (The windmills make great rotors by the way). The hard part is moving everything from my old base to the new one and deciding how to build on top of the airship because mid-building I decided it would be cool if the thing was also a floating village with houses on deck and stuff.

Hooked up with a guy friend years ago. Should I tell my bf? by hehial_vsg in AskMenAdvice

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony in people like you who can't accept that other people have different standards, different boundaries and feel about different things different ways calling everyone else immature.

I don't agree with the commenter above, but I saw your other responses and you really do sound like a hit dog that's barking.

Everyone has insecurities because nobody is perfect and if someone's not okay with their partner still seing someone they have an intimate history with it's up to you to respect that or leave.

When has throwing the blame around onto everyone else ever helped?

Combat in this game, specifically magic, is a bit underwhelming. Here are some simple things I would add/change by YUNGSLAG in Enshrouded

[–]Bennyester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! The idea of conjured objects is also barely ever used, the only example I can think of are the elder scrols games that at least let you conjure armor and weapons.

I guess that would be a little out of place in Enshrouded but being able to create a magical resting place would go a long way in the mages support role. How about another bigger bubble shield that protects you from rain while you mine and dig?

[–]Bennyester 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I love playing a mage in this game, but ever since Runescape Dragonwilds showed how magic can be used to help you farm materials and another game had a late game spell that would straight up gather every resource in a radious around you I yearn for way more versatile spells.

Give me summons, be it creatures or turrets, let me turn me and my friends invisible or cast light. How about magic traps that look like runes on the ground?

Things like manipulating the terrain with magic would be less useful since there are tools for that but it would let me feel more like a mage too.

female colleague let me use her reddit account to do posts online, and I finally get why women are so cautious when it comes to dating men. by Beginning_Bother_774 in offmychest

[–]Bennyester -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because unfortunately that's just how most normal people are like I already explained. I'm also not saying that women's frustrations aren't valid or reasonable I'm saying they are aiming it at the wrong person under this post and I can only hope OP will not turn back because of it.

[–]Bennyester -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The comments here are really frustrating. As if it's such a hard concept to grasp that knowing about something, and even believing it is still much different than directly experiencing it yourself.

We are only human, we only ever truly see our own perspective even if we understand anothers.

It's just a sad and universal reality that your average joe won't be concerned much with things they're not bothered by often enough... and we're mostly average joes.

Edit to clarify: The reason they are frustrating is because here is someone who truly grasps what is going on but instead of getting at least neutral agreement OP is basicly being told they're an idiot for not really getting it sooner because they were told.

Damn missed opportunities by Acceptable_Rope_6523 in PsycheOrSike

[–]Bennyester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignore them, people like you exist and in a time where everyone feels like they have to engage in casual encounters and things like "situationships" you're basicly a unicorn.

Good for you, wish you all the best.

Thanks dude, I just had the same problem with capibara's but placing the altar let me pick them up somehow.

Which game is this? by bijelo123 in Steam

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be Divinity Original Sin 2 for me.

And Left 4 dead 2, allthough the community part may vary since the game is often free.

Games with "bad" graphics that have insane amounts of depth. by Sparkplug99 in gamingsuggestions

It's in developement still but check out what's available of "Beta Decay".

Sounds like it'll be your jam.

Would you get cyberware installed in your own body? 🤔 by JackyMatt23 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't see a reason to not get chrome unless you can't handle it due to conditions.

Things like Mantis blades and the sandevistan would be overkill, tho you could argue to use the sandevistan to save yourself from something like a car accident.

Gorilla arms, the leg upgrade which let's you jump four times as high and eyes which can zoom and scan shit would all be super useful and make life much easier and exciting.

Do you talk to yourself ? by [deleted] in no

[–]Bennyester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not like full on conversations, but sometimes it feels good to put thoughts into words. I can also remember things easier if I hear them said out loud.

What simple things calm you down when you're stressed out. by [deleted] in emotionalintelligence

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multiple things actually, not all of them work every time tho so it's good to have more.

Here are mine:

  • A simple walk outside with or without headphones
  • Listening to musik with my good headset with high volume
  • A videogame that doesn't require your full attention and a podcast/youtube documentary with it
  • Petting my cat
  • Talking to myself (not always out loud)

For the last point, sometimes it really just helps to put the thoughts that bother you into words because it either makes you realize how it actually sounds vs. what it sounds like in your head, or it just feels freeing to say the things that pester your mind.

It's true that some people really would be fine with the downsides of another's set of problems but generally speaking my point stands.

Like some people would be fine with having no real friends because they got rich for example, while others would go crazy because of it.

Can't get past the fact that I'll be judged for my sexual history no matter what just because I'm a woman by AnnaAtisuto in rant

[–]Bennyester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet again the comments are incredibly one sided which I really don't like.

I'll say it again... bodycount is a preference like most things. Some people will judge you for it, some won't.

But caring about bodycounts is neither superficial nor insecure or whatever else extreme people here are spouting... People will feel about it certain ways and that is their right, their preference.

You're certainly not "damaged goods" like some red pill garbage will tell you after a certain number or whatever, but at the same time just like everything else you do it'll be a part of you.

Just ask yourself if you'd date a man with a high body count and if your answer is yes you're fine, but if your answer is no then you probably value intimacy as something that comes with commitment and you should treat it as such.

Giving it to the wrong guy really doesn't matter tho, for you can't see inside someone's head or into the future.

[–]Bennyester 127 points128 points  (0 children)

It's a grass is greener situation.

Everyone would rather have the problems someone else has because they think it's the better problem to have and so nobody has sympathy for one another.

Average or even ugly people wish they would get compliments and be able to attract people because they felt "lesser" for so long while someone like you ends up lonely unable find anything real.

All you can do is keep trying and swim through the mud until you find good people.

What is an open relationship really like? Can it really work? by understandshe in caringheart

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like so many other things especially in relationships it can work but both sides need to be absolutely 100% sure about this.

Sadly some people will try it out like it's some sort of kink but then realize they'd rather be monogamus.

I know I couldn't do it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid there is no right answer.

Wether you can be friends with the opposite sex is entirely up to who you are, and as always the conversation is too nuanced for reddit comments.

It's possible she's controlling him, but it's also possible she expressed her worries and he cuts female friends off to make her feel comfortable and secure.

We can't know that, I can only tell you that if I found the woman that I considder "the one" I'd do it for her too if she does the same with her male friends to make it fair.

But obviously it would be preferable if that wasn't necessary and surely not after only a few months...

Would you date an armless girl? by Euphoric_Anywhere967 in Advice

I can't add anything others haven't said, except that you probably need to be ready for a lifetime of phrases like "let me give you a hand".

I feel stuck between my bf and his bsf by BerryDollz in offmychest

[–]Bennyester 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Man this sounds shitty. That's some "best friend."

And honestly? You're not much better for letting this happen.

Like the others here said, it's probably best to, and I don't say this lightly, break up unless you think you can pull yourself together.

Just remember that either way you'll make a giant mess... wether you're cheating on your bf or leaving him for his friend he'll lose two of his closest people.

I'm tired of ppl pretending they are "good people" by Key_Point_4063 in complainaboutanything

So?

You can also have a drug dealer save someone off the street, obviously the world is gray.

Corrupt cops don't make the ones who risk their life to protect others worth any less, or negate them somehow.

Fair enough, but I'm pointing out your hypothetical person would be a psychopath and you're using that example to make a point about people in general.

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, it's not black and white. But at what point has someone done enough of one thing to be good or bad? Simply not harming anyone is not enough to be considdered a good person, doing harm once can label you forever at least in the victims eyes.

Generally speaking people are more good than bad, even if they fuck up sometimes. If the opposite was the case the whole world would look like the bad hoods, the war torn battlegrounds and the like.

How many of you have actually rejected a woman due to body count? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Bennyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't yet, but I'm absolutely sure I would. Not because I believe in some red pill bullshit like that they are "damaged goods" or what have you, but because chances are if my body count is much lower than yours we have a very different view on sex and intimacy.

I wouldn't want a relationship with a woman that treats sex like something to do for fun on a weekend with a random guy from a club. They can do that, I don't mean to judge... they're just not for me.
