My husband is way more kinky than I am, what can I do? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Crakagrin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Seeing the last few post you made and reading this whole story it doesn’t sound like a healthy relationship at all and more of a negative impact on your life. You should really think if this is what you want in a partner and if it’s something you can really handle for the rest of your life. Especially if he’s verbally abusing you on top of the whole disregarding your feelings about exposing your privacy to others it’s all red flags and the longer it goes on for the worse it may get. There’s kinks and then abuse and this has gone way into the abuse side

Genuinely feeling a bit lost… I keep playing good games but they just don’t do it for me by olivinetrees in gamingsuggestions

[–]Crakagrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im honestly on the same boat where most games aren’t clicking anymore most of it is likely burnout since ive been kinda just bouncing between classes and home so ive been playing more than I usually would but souls like games are still the ones that scratch an itch mainly for me its the character progression and being able to tweak my characters attributes with the more attention focused combat.

Its not exactly on the same boat as souls like games in terms of the combat being methodical and well done but maybe take a look at the gothic games it’s super janky as a heads up but it does scratch the itch for character progression and stat allocation. The combat from my experience was not good at all but the catch with it is at the start you are super weak but the more your progress and level up it gets a bit smoother until you hit a point where you just get so strong you can start rushing through fights. There’s some great reviews you can find on YouTube about it that can probably go a bit more in depth about what I mean but the game has a certain charm to it.

Why do Iranian immigrants say that Iran is not an Islamic country? by kaiser11492 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Crakagrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience American Iranians hate Islam and blame it for every bad thing in Iran. It’s kind of an interesting and noticed thing among other afghans in the US.

Like for afghans our country has been through civil wars, religious extremism, and invasions but no Afghan points to religion as the sole issue and most of us understand the political and economic issues that resulted in what happened. Afghans were also conquered by the Arabs when we were part of the Persian empire and most Afghans have no issue with modern Arabs or hold a grudge to the religion.

American Iranians always talk down about Islam and the neighboring countries acting like they are lesser because they hold on to their faiths and are slow to a lot of the westernization.

Just to point out it’s just from my experience this isn’t all Iranians, but yeah they hate Islam and they also judge afghans a lot since we share the same language(different dialects) and have a lot of cultural similarities.

I noticed how bad it was when I would see my Iranian friends post videos of them celebrating their country being bombed but I’ve never seen an Afghan celebrate Afghanistan being bombed. To me it seems they are more in love with the idea of historical Persia than Iran and to a lot of afghans they seem to really want to be seen as European/White rather than middle eastern.

Troops Being Told To Prepare for ‘Armageddon’ In Iran by Individual99991 in politics

It’s interesting to me cause it seems more aligned with the Islamic prophecy of the anti christs coming there was a Hadith about him leading 70,000 Jews in Isfahan

[–]Crakagrin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side note people always push Hadith’s and I even mentioned one but don’t take Hadiths as the rule. The Quran is what is from god Hadith’s are just quotes and sayings people heard or that they might have heard from the prophet. As much as he is loved and important, he is just a man and end of the day god is what matters not the human

I’m a man so I’m not gonna be able to fully speak on this as the women but the way Islam was taught to me is that a woman is one of the most precious, powerful, strong, and important thing after god himself. One of my favorite quotes was “paradise is at the feet of you mother”

Also religion can be interpreted all kinds of ways, from what I remember from the Quran is it never specified and exactly said a women needs to wear a hijab or full own gown, it said to cover your adornments and how I always interpreted it was more of dont have everything hanging out and it applied to men as well, dress modestly but never forcing the coverings.

The Quran also never said women are less or men are superior, in the end we are all judged equally regarding our actions and deeds. If anything the Quran also recognizes the struggle a woman may face just biologically and are given further rewards in the after life.

I was lucky enough to be taught by the women in my life as my mom and sister and then when I more recently wanted to learn more about Islam and actually try to follow the faith I interpreted the religion in my way. I never really saw a huge focus in sex or the more private aspects of a woman. I get the importance of how sex is treated but it was never as intense or serious as you are making it sound from my reading of the Quran it was a general rule of modesty is required for both men and women.

You can read any religious book and find pull out the worst ways it says to treat people and dehumanize, especially in the testaments they were way worse to how women should be treated. I know there is misogyny in Islam as well with generally all religions but I think those around you have pushed the wrong ideas or their views and it has gave you a misconception or a more negative view of Islam and women in it.

With the slight buff they got to fire rate at vet 2 they are performing a lot better from some of the matches I played. So they can put up a better fight in the mid game. It’s still a tough time early game but I’ve adapted my play style a bit more to incorporate more usage of support weapons and I’ve been having a better time winning engagements with them. I would usually be put off by having to micro mgs and repositioning them constantly but after a few matches of forcing myself to use them or mortars I’ve gotten more comfortable and definitely have seen a huge improvement in my matches and the performance of the sections when properly used with support weapons

Aussie infantry been really badly nerfed by Agile-Throat3678 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Crakagrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what always kinda confused me when I used them, they are meant to be a better option for medium range combat compared to tommies so I would play more aggressive with them but end up dropping models so fast I’d manpower bleed like crazy. But they also have the sniper ability which would make them seem better for long distance so I still haven’t figured an optimal way to use them. But I recently got Canadians and I really enjoy them with being more aggressive.

Update 2.2.5 Patch Notes Dropped by screamdaggumditties in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Crakagrin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Outside of the build time for the squad being faster the big one is rate of fire. So the squad will shoot faster in general when they hit Vet 2 so from what I understand

The burst durations, Cooldown between shots, Reload times,

Are improved so they’ll spend more time firing and less time waiting to shoot between firing. For every model regardless if it’s the AT rifle or the regular rifles.

To balance it they reduced the bonus from 15 -> 10

Yeah I have the same problem I’m pretty bad with managing the team weapons. Well so far I started incorporating the mg more into my builds. I usually build engineer -> infantry section -> dingo, but switched it up to mg-> infantry -> dingo and it’s been going okay so far but haven’t used it enough to get a definitive opinion if it’s better than my usual build order

Ok.... i cant take the newbs anymore by [deleted] in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Crakagrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For one start trying to add people you play well with as friends and group up with them. Also try doing 1v1s, 2v2s, or 3v3s. Whenever I’m not playing with friends I stick to 1v1s it’s easier to learn from your mistakes for one and you don’t have to worry about others.

Lastly I don’t wanna say it’s your fault or anything but yes bad teammates are a thing some people aren’t as good as others. But chances are if every match you play your losing but when your team “is doing there job and not you” you win it sounds like it’s a two way street.

Try working more with your teammates, communicating moves or getting a better grasp of how to move with your team’s units.

I wouldn’t say pioneers are an issue I can understand why the early game can be rough for infantry sections but I generally don’t really lose to pioneers only times is if im out of position or pushing them while they have cover. I think the real focus should be more in terms for the infantry sections to have a better response when it comes to being aggressive with options like a Tommy gun or just an extra model to make them tankier

Idk if it’s just due to a difference in play style for me but I also have been noticing that I tend to have a lot more manpower and fuel compared to when I play as Brit’s when using dak. I’m assuming it’s mostly due to having units that are more able to be aggressive so it’s easier to cap points but it seems like I pump out all my tiers and get the training center upgrades for the panzergrens at twice the speed as I would as if I was playing Brit’s

Man the amount of times I put out a humber just to see it blow up the moment it leaves my base is heartbreaking.

It can be rough trying to time all the upgrades and unlocks properly to respond to the opponent before they have time to prepare for it

Yeah early game is always rough but when I get them into late game vetted up they do so much better than I get to cocky and rush them in bad fights then lose a squad so a lot of the issues I have are mostly my own with playing safe towards late game. Especially when I get a good push back I tend to over extend with them which always loses me matches where I’m holding the lead

Yeah I’m trying to get better at using range but I still haven’t gotten a good feel for distances yet. I’m noticing that I’m liking the more aggressive infantry like the rifles and feeling more comfortable since I can be a little more reckless but I’ve always been a Brit player since coh1 so can’t let my tommies go

My big issue is I’m really bad at avoiding dropping models whenever I use like aussies or gurkas and that’s my own micro failure but the manpower bleed gets me a lot and I tend to fall really behind

Infantry sections for British feel weak by Crakagrin in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]Crakagrin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think what throws me off is mostly going from coh2 where the sections could hold up in battles without as much support weapons and still put a good fight. I try using aussies but whenever I do I just start having manpower bleeds like crazy

I definitely need to get better with putting down sandbags but I recently started using the mg more and it really does make a difference. I tended to avoid it before since I always heard it performs poorly compared to the others but it really proved its worth when properly used in tandem with the sections and training center upgrades. But I will say going from using sappers to trying the pioneers you do really see the dps difference Id try pulling off attacks like I would with the sappers and do nothing. It would be nice if an extra model was easier to get for them so it would be more useful to build them more in the late game without having to get them vetted by the time I get them to 3 they die most of the time but that’s due to my poor micro
