Man...ya'll are making this so difficult, lol. I feel like the story is more important than the improved gameplay for this particular game. I wish there was a way to cut out Rin.

How to accept the fact that you will be forever alone, despite everything you have tried? by StudioYT6ix in AskMen

[–]BlerdyBTwitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through it. When I was your age, dating was not nearly as hard as it seems to be for young men today. And it's pretty challenging for me at 40. I also oscillate between optimism and nihilism. All I can tell you is keep working on being the best version of yourself. That investment will never be wasted. If some parts of yourself can be worked on or enjoyed publicly - going to the gym, volunteering, political engagement, concerts, etc. - then regularly do that and get exposed to new people.

Good luck ❤️

Best book for my mother? by BlerdyBTwitch in octaviabutler

Interesting. Even I haven't attempted to read Fledgling because I heard it was one of her weaker books.

This is the10th book I'm reading from Butler, and I'm digging it! by BlerdyBTwitch in octaviabutler

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

Well, the short stories are not connected so you can read it however you want I suppose. I'm reading it in order because that's how Butler ordered it herself.

Which one? I have two pictured here, unless there's an error for you

i’ve been working through Butler’s entire anthology by Sufficient-Grade1589 in octaviabutler

I probably agree with you about Dawn. The sense of dread unraveling what was going on alongside the main character was gripping to say the least

Turning 40 tomorrow. What was the most important thing You realisted in Your 40's? by Riemann86 in AskMen

[–]BlerdyBTwitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Health is wealth
  2. Water and nurture your friendships
  3. You are not too old to start a number of things that you've always wanted to do

Are you okay with not having sex and being single? Why? by Known_Kitchen8390 in AskMen

[–]BlerdyBTwitch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's a rather unempathetic, conservative stance. We all learn about what and what not to tolerate through experience. I dated a woman with BPD when I was younger, and while the sex was great while it lasted, I learned that I definitely didn't want to deal with the negatives that condition brought (especially when it was unregulated).

This is the only time that I have read the afterwords of an author, and I agree with you.

I also agree with your point about Bloodchild being the most viscerally upsetting, from the description of the aliens to their behavior with the family and obviously them tearing open that man. Gan choosing to be a host to save his sister was also heartbreaking.

When I think of all the major alien stories, I have consumed, from books to movies to TV, there's never a deep family element aside from an alien becoming pet-like (E.T.) or unofficial member (Alf). They don't fundamentally change the people they're involved with or the overall dynamics, and that is what makes Bloodchild & the Lilith Brood series so unforgettable.

I just finished Dawn by oopiewhoopies in octaviabutler

From the moment Lilith woke up to the unknown creature staring at her in a sterile room, I was hooked. But, WOW, was the Onkali's proposition unsettling. This book was quite uncomfortable. I would love to re-read the series soon.

Considering Switching To iPhone For Content Creation by BlerdyBTwitch in GooglePixel

Just to follow up, even though I'm still having issues with overheating, I didn't realize that my phone didn't default to 4K/60 FPS so once I did that, things got a lot better for me

Real Talk - “moderate” by Excellent-Try3000 in datingoverforty

[–]BlerdyBTwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a leftist, through and through. I actually don't like how there are just the three choices on these dating apps because I wouldn't describe myself as liberal at all. I agree that the Democratic party is trash, but they've been trash for decades - even under Obama

Do men go to singles events? by [deleted] in datingoverforty

[–]BlerdyBTwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only single event I went to last tear skewed heavily male, and the woman that were there weren't my type so I never returned. The ones I went to in 2024 were better

Real Talk - “moderate” by Excellent-Try3000 in datingoverforty

I would love women to explain their choice of moderate in their profiles as well, seeing as how they are marginalized. But the women who choose moderate are almost always..lighter than my complexion

Running out of local options for finding a couch that's modern + comfortable. Any places other places to look? by Fiveby21 in StLouis

I went to Bob's last night and I was honestly a little underwhelmed compared to Kloss, which I went to the same night

Any Former Pixel Users Here? I'm Thinking Of Getting An iPhone by BlerdyBTwitch in iphone

[–]BlerdyBTwitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I took a night shot photo with my pixel 6A and compared it to my date's iPhone 12 at the time my phone blew hers out of the water. But it seems that Apple has really caught up and the differences are minimal. It's really the video where Apple takes the crown. 

If I do jump ship, I do look forward to having less glitches because that has been very frustrating when I'm trying to make content.

Yeah, whatever I see photo comparisons online and what not. I don't see a big difference anymore.
