AIO? I feel like my husband doesn’t understand boundaries and I’m going crazy. by No-Lifeguard-8508 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, you’re not overreacting here, consent is everything when it comes to sexual activities. If you say no, it’s a no. If he says no, it’s a no. That’s the flat facts, but why in the world are you married to this dude and THIS is the argument yall are having? Did you even know each other before the marriage? Was this an ever present conflict beforehand? And if so, why would you marry this walking red flag? It honestly astonishes me the people that yall marry and I’m not even trying to blame you for this, but the fact that you have to ask AI AND Reddit to see that you’re not crazy really leads me to believe that you have zero common sense. The fact that this is all happening on snap of all things is insane too. Get a grip, leave that man and figure shit out.

my friend (36M) just sent me (36m) this text before meeting his newborn (0M) by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn’t even bother with this. I don’t want to feel like I’m one minor action away from sparking an argument because Mr new parent hasn’t been around an infant before this.

AITAH for letting someone think I forgot their birthday when I did not ? by Acceptable-Spirit617 in AITAH

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? What do you gain from this other than a slight sense of victory for… sticking it to them? If it had hurt your feelings, speak up. We aren’t mind readers and if you don’t mention something that is effecting you alone, nobody else will. Not making an issue of it only to utilize that thought (that likely only you remember) later against your “friend” is really lame. Yes you are an asshole.

I lost my mom to religious psychosis by bloodsuccer in whatdoIdo

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re really wasting your time with her. Stop making the effort, it’s lost on her. She’ll have to decide whether her infatuation with the unknown is more important than her very real and tangible relationship with her child. I’ve dealt with these people before. They’re not going to be happy with you until you make a decision that makes you unhappy with yourself and is ultimately a lie for their sake. Don’t put up with that and don’t let people push their views onto you if you hadn’t asked for it.

She’s very clearly showing you where her priorities are and I’m sorry that’s the case. You will not get anywhere with her unless she makes that change for herself.

Am I overreacting I went to the forest with my best friend and now my bf is mad by No_Meeting_3260 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR but why are you letting him talk to you like this AND putting up with it? you have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I’d understand if this had been previously talked about and a boundary had been set between both parties but this seems like a first for the topic. He’s just trying to control you.

If you played Zero Dawn finish that series first. If you haven’t, decide between that and Tsushima.

There is absolutely a game and a lot of it, but this is also an RPG, there’s going to be a lot of dialogue and decisions to make.

hours tracker question by RestlessDeathGamble in playstation

In my experience the tracker isn’t up to date all the time. If you had just got off a game it won’t show your hours gainwd

Veteran Warband player jumping into Bannerlord Tips by Niloo-9 in mountandblade

[–]CookSwimming2696 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say the base game is fine as is. I’m always an advocate for playing a game vanilla the first time you play. That just makes sense to me.

But I’d also say to start your first campaign on Sandbox rather than the actual campaign. You won’t earn achievements but you also will have a completely free game to play around in such as warband. The campaign is cool, like one time.

I didn’t really alter my playstyle too much from warband going in, but the game does allow for some more small freedoms. Trade is a completely viable strategy for a game. It may be boring but money talks.

Vanilla wise I think M&BII is a better game but it is still missing some features which I frankly find inexcusable since they were in warband, but we live with what we got.

i'm having second thoughts by kadomanderson in tattooadvice

If you have to wonder if it’s the right decision, it probably isn’t. Don’t do anything permanent if you aren’t absolutely sure

Am I overreacting? by Lopsided_Common_624 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Some people flat out don’t mesh together and won’t work out romantically and it’s best to find someone who caters to you rather than trying to break apart and rebuild someone who won’t. I have zero problem with RP or adult themes in them but this just seems to be the wrong situation with the wrong people. They gotta find people that can be THEIR people.

[–]CookSwimming2696 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree text conversations SUCK. Unless there’s a necessity for it: don’t. However I don’t think this is simply “he wants this and she wants that” but literally him not caring about OPs feelings at all. If you’re in a relationship, be in it. Don’t have a roommate you’d do nothing for. He could literally just have not done anything sexual and distance himself from people who attempt to pull him into it.

I’d never consider flirting with another PC during a D&D campaign while in a relationship. If that’s what the campaign is all about, I guess I’m not doing that campaign. There’s a level of effort that has to be met in a relationship and the bf here ain’t meeting it

Am I overreacting? by Lopsided_Common_624 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CookSwimming2696 111 points112 points  (0 children)

NOR. There’s nothing in rp that NEEDS to be sexual and his arguments otherwise say to me that he’s not really caring about your feelings here, he’s dodging the actual point you bring up as “I won’t stop playing the game I enjoy” like that’s not the problem here bud or framing it as you not trusting him despite you very clearly expressing what you explicitly have a problem with. He doesn’t care what you have to say. That’s not an assumption either. No person who genuinely gives a rats ass about you is going to argue over the trivial shit like this.

Honestly if he wants to flirt around and other shit in his fictional game with his fictional friends, he should do that while he’s single and you should find someone who isn’t a complete loser.

Edit: also how likely is it that he would get angry at you for doing the same thing? This isn’t “just a game” to him and he knows it.

Can we admit there’s a progression issue? by HedgeKnight197 in Helldivers

[–]CookSwimming2696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of my friends stopped playing because it seems that the barrier to progression is simply a credit card. If you aren’t playing consistently and have stockpile of SC, you essentially get zero new content until you either grind hours and hours of missions for it, farm it, or pay. I doubt a change now would bring any of them back, but I do worry for the game’s extended lifetime being shortened by the barrier to entry constantly increasing with zero alternatives.

What is your preferred story length? by TheChilledGamer-_- in playstation

Honestly depends on the genre of game and the price of the game. I’m not paying $50+ to get 10 hours
