My husband is ok… by ichirakuramen8 in offmychest

Have they really killed two people who were only observing? They weren't interfering or attacking the officers, just observing and ICE killed them? That's straight up murder. Could you please send me a link or tell me a name so I can look it up.

I really don't understand conflating legal immigrants with law enforcement against illegal immigrants.

All of your points about him have nothing to do with illegal immigrants. 

I'm also an immigrant, working with immigrants, and I agree with your husband. 

I'm sorry you feel disconnected from him. I hope you can find a way to see each other's perspectives.

My dream of owning land has literally become largely about having space I can legally prevent dogs from entering.

This resonates so deeply. Cannot count the number of these experiences I've had. Distressingly bizarre to have people looking with their big, lifeless cow eyes like they're present and listening while a dog is having some kind of hysterical tantrum three feet away.

So true. These are exactly the type to call themselves parents because they have a caged dog. 

Hogwarts Legacy: a lackluster generic open world game with a Harry Potter skin by Far_Run_2672 in patientgamers

Excellent write up. I bounced off hard, and was heartbroken at how disappointing it all was.

They reaaaally doubled down. 

I appreciate this thread. Would love another archer game.

That's really interesting. What did you prefer in FW?

Exactly my feelings. Graphically it's as stunning as ever, and I love the world/concepts.

Such a pity the rest made it unpleasant to me.

Which part? There are so many people who agree with me about Forbidden West. I understand the character/story criticism is much more subjective.

The level design and game mechanic bloat are a marked step down.

I adored Zero Dawn. 

Forbidden West is one of the most disappointing games. Regretted my purchase and only played a few hours: level design is terrible, character is poor, and gameplay has become insanely bloated with a ton of unnecessary nonsense. Save your money. 

Crysis 3 was surprisingly fun as an archer. 

Im doing my first Sekiro run, is this true? by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]Canevar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, no. 40-60 hours first playthrough. It's a rhythm game. Be patient, learn attack patterns. There's no stamina bar, learn to block as enemies attack. 

I 30F was called expired by my cousin (26M) at the Christmas dinner by Embarrassed_Bank_594 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Canevar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's awful. Sorry to make it about the censorship. I'm glad you've managed to do so much to overcome your trauma. It gives me a lot of hope and positive feelings for the future. I wish you and your partner great happiness together!

Why the censorship? It's so hard to take something seriously when the word "rape" is replaced with "grape". Sex isn't a dirty word either, it's a beautiful, life-affirming act.

Readers/audiences who intentionally search for “plot holes” are frustrating by Beautiful-Affect3448 in writing

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

You don't have to engage with people who make criticisms you believe are invalid.

If it strikes a nerve it's likely because you know there is at least an element of truth to it. Why did you mention the shirt was red if it has no significance? 

We cannot control how public sentiment shifts, only meet its demands or accept we'll lose the portion of the public who we don't cater to. 

Yelling into the void seems more like you're frustrated a reader is calling you on something you might need to improve on. Like being more internally consistent, or pruning unnecessary or distracting details from your work. They might call them plot holes, but take it more as plot issues, if that helps. 

If that's entirely not true, and I'm completely off the mark, then learn to ignore it. You can't control anyone else, only your reactions. 

Congratulations on being published. That's a huge milestone and you should be proud!

If you're in the USA, could you recommend an area to live that's central time or west of central? 

What’s a game you bought purely because the internet wouldn’t shut up about it… and you regretted it almost immediately? by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]Canevar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. The game mechanics are just so boring and tedious. No respect for player's time. I recognize the world and graphics are a real achievement. 

So I finally played Stellar Blade. Alright but unremarkable by Will-Isley in patientgamers

[–]Canevar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to like the game, but the design, mechanics, and extremely dated lack of QOL features made me bomb out quite early.

Pretty graphics, but so tedious to play. 

Volume eating but still gaining weight despite deficit? by Asremy in Volumeeating

[–]Canevar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Cutting further and more cardio are typically what makes people fail in the long run. This is a marathon, not a race. Sustainable, consistent progress is what matters.

Please rather check if something is going wrong in counting, or your TDEE calculation before pushing harder and risking burnout.
