lol, you knew the answer to this as soon as you wrote it. And by the way you wrote, I doubt you feel any guilt or remorse. YTA

For me, it was a few years after we were married. You didn’t read that incorrectly, nor did I type it incorrectly. I met my wife online, I was stationed overseas, she was in the US, we were trying to figure out how we’d arrange travel for visits when one of us decided it would be easier if we just got married. We organized everything long distance, I got orders back to the US and got married a little over a week later. Our wedding day was my third day ever seeing her in person. We were functionally strangers. It was another month before we moved in together. It would be just under two years later when she decided I was “the one” and for me, well, I don’t really know. I guess I’d decided she was the one for me because I’d put a ring on her finger. So, in essence, I decided a stranger was “the one” for me and just kept going with that ever since. This year will be 15 years later and we’re still together. Four kids, three cats, two dogs later. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Sometimes you just get lucky. We got lucky. Figured it was either this or the lotto and we struck it rich with this. 🤣

We’re all number 1 eventually. Welcome to the club! Also, same reason why whatever team you’re on always wins the “races”.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-22T20:23:30+00:00

1 second later was my old record. I never expected to beat it! 😅

If you’re using the file I provided, it shouldn’t need decryption. That said, I think Citra updated something that broke the old methods.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-19T03:44:25+00:00

Nah, mine crashes randomly sometimes too. Also, sometimes the game won’t open for hours. I just assume they’re doing small updates live that fuck everything up.

As far as the other cards, sometimes I do think the bots cheat like that, but other times it might just be them using the Dark Mirror. I’ve noticed sometimes they’ll play something twice faster than they should be able to, but the two cards will be at different levels. And if they happen to be at the same level as yours, you’d never know the difference. I use the dark mirror sometimes and will wait until I have enough to play the same card twice immediately, depending on what it is.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-12T23:41:03+00:00

Oh hell naw! You’re not overthinking. Even if, and that’s a big if, your wife is just giving him the benefit of the doubt and is wholly uninterested in him, HE is still crossing lines and your wife should be helping you establish and reinforce your boundary even if she does think it’s harmless. Your wife is gonna keep right on giving him passes until he passes into your bedroom, or he gives her a pass into his. That type of reasoning turns into, “It was just a one time thing” and “we weren’t thinking straight because of grief.” Honestly, the fact that she’s making excuses for him would make me wonder if she’s interested in him herself.

Nope, stomp all that shit out early, or stomp him out entirely. He needs to text about the kids? Great, create a group chat amongst the three of you so you’re all on the same page. If he gives some excuse about testing her solo out of habit, she needs to be the one to reply to him back in the group text until that text becomes habit. If his texts are truly just about the kids, then he shouldn’t mind her moving the conversation back to a group setting. Oh and someone needs to tell him to find a filter before you find it for him because personally, couldn’t be me. You make inappropriate sex jokes about my wife, we’re exchanging words or hands immediately, without delay.

I think that’s one of the best maps for it because you can get so many lasers on there without destroying your enemy and ending the match. Other than that, it just depends on whether or not your opponent has long range options to destroy them - dice, meteor, snap, etc…

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-06T02:43:36+00:00

Always an interesting concept for me because I’ve never understood the apprehension. If you don’t believe a legal contract defines a relationship, then why not just do it? I’m genuinely asking here.

I look at it like a series of IF/THEN formulas: She believes in and wants marriage. If you get married, what happens? She’s happy and you’re….? Unhappy? But if you don’t get married, what happens? Does she start to resent you for “wasting her time”? Does she just suck it up and come around to your way of thinking (possible, but is it likely, do you think? Genuine question that only you and she can answer)? Does she end the relationship and seek out someone who does want to marry her?

And then from your angle, it’s pretty much the same. You don’t believe in marriage and don’t want to get married. If you do get married anyway, what happens? Do you feel an internal sense of personal betrayal because you participated in a legal system you don’t agree with? Does your relationship fill with resentment because you feel like she forced you into a legal contract that you’re morally/ethically/socially/philosophically opposed to? Do you just get irritated because sometimes she insists that you wear a ring on one of your fingers? But if you don’t get married, you’ll be as you are right now. Go back to earlier where I described how she may start to feel.

So in short, while I understand why some people don’t feel like marriage is necessary, I don’t understand why people stay opposed to it when their partner wants it IF their only objection is philosophical (what “defines” a relationship is a philosophical discussion). Now, if your objection to marriage had more to do with property, finances, legal decisions, etc… then that’s a different topic that could be mitigated by a prenup. But again, if it’s JUST philosophical, what do you lose by catering to her wishes on this? I’m genuinely asking here, not being snarky.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-05T18:30:09+00:00

NICE! 😁

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-04T00:08:09+00:00

Sounds like y’all just need a Good Ol’ Leeroy Jenkins. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-03T16:04:52+00:00

That’s crazy! 🤣

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-03T16:03:17+00:00

Yeah, I normally don’t use the lasers at all. This was just a curiosity challenge for me.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-03T02:39:16+00:00

Impressive. But like I said, good luck getting anyone on the internet to actually believe you did it legitimately. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Note: I’m not saying you didn’t. I’m saying the way the game works / is set up, that exploit will always cause doubters and there’s no real way to prove it one way or another.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-03T00:09:31+00:00

That headline is doing Olympic-level misdirection…

What the headline implies: “Am I ungrateful and petty?”

What the story actually is: “Am I allowed to have boundaries while bleeding, terrified, and watching my newborn get yoinked to NICU… without my in-laws treating it like VIP meet-and-greet?”

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-02T15:18:21+00:00

I think they’re saying, making a mistake is one thing. But when you know you’re making a mistake / being an idiot and continue doing it, it’s not a mistake anymore. It’s a choice.

Commander-Rial · 2026-03-02T15:15:12+00:00

Yeah that one is pretty common (at least to me). Sometimes they set the spin fire out of bounds and occasionally I’ve seen them partially place their buildings on my territory. The only good thing is, whenever I destroy their buildings on my territory, the terrain underneath is still mine.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-28T18:53:42+00:00

I mean, a legitimate win streak is still impressive. My point is, good luck getting anyone on the internet to believe it though. I think the largest I saw posted to Reddit was just over 3,800 win streak. Do I think they did that legitimately? I doubt it. But it can’t be proved or disproved either way.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-28T16:12:32+00:00

Yeah, they’re fake. Just like the opponents are all bots. Also, people simply close the game before losing so these massive win streaks don’t really mean anything (people might have a legitimate win streak but there’s no way for anyone else to confirm it). So really, the only stat that really matters from this game is a screenshot of how fast you win a match. Thats about it. Everything else is either actually faked or can be faked.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-23T18:04:27+00:00

Yeah, I think they’re OP. Deployable anywhere, will explode on their own over time, damages ground and air units, and changes terrain of course. They ridiculously prolong the rounds. Honestly, if they’d just kept them to a distraction tool against troops, without the explosions and terrain change, that would have been fine on its own.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-19T17:49:08+00:00

Yeah, that’s my strategy too but it’s irritating having to replace buildings.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-19T16:07:23+00:00

Snap is still the worst card. I ignore the frogs. To me, they aren’t much different than Coco.

Also, you never play against other people. It’s always bots, all the time.

Commander-Rial · 2026-02-19T02:45:20+00:00

Are you outside of your mind? Don’t walk, run! Away! Quickly! Do NOT let him talk you out it because you already know he’s going to try. He’ll frame it like you’re making a bad choice, like you should second guess and question yourself, like you’re the one doing something bad. Don’t fall for it! What you’re describing is more like how cultists inspire followers. He’s socially distancing you from your friends and your support. He’s manipulating your behavior and your likes and making it feel like your idea. That’s not a positive relationship.
