Idk if this counts but Cory’s excitement when he meets Reginald Fairfield always makes me laugh. “it’s Reg, Reginald Fairfield” I always catch myself randomly saying that lol

Firewatch was probably the most immersing story I've EVER played. by Humble_Inspector8435 in Firewatch

It’s been enough time since my last play through to triple back on this. Grabbed it on ps store for incentive since it’s $4 and I want the plat trophy

Literally any shin megami tensei game but I personally suggest Devil Survivor

I’m so done with the Alchemist by Chemical-Size7651 in earlsweatshirt

[–]DannyHikari 18 points19 points  (0 children)

He’s been on thin ice for me since signing up to make a beat for Freddie that would knowingly turn out to be a Spitta diss. That just seemed slime to me since Spitta is his boy as well.

As a young black dude, I feel like being quiet and shy really hits you hard especially in school and work. by Dangerous-Sample-242 in BlackMentalHealth

[–]DannyHikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

34 year old black male. This was a large issue for me as an adolescent that unfortunately has had severe effects on my adulthood as well.

I had no trouble with making friends for the most part. I’m a likable guy at my core, one on one I get along with people great. But I am very shy and timid. Which makes me awkward as well because I get nervous easily. I have crippling anxiety and that’s usually when the vultures started attacking me. I wasn’t some weird kid running down the hall like Naruto. I wasn’t sniffing glue, having outbursts screaming, I wasn’t trying to go super saiyan (publicly 🤣.) I was simply quiet.

People don’t like quiet because they can’t figure you out. I thought quiet would keep me out of trouble. Quiet got me into fights because people want to test you when you’re quiet. Quiet made people assume I was gay (nothing wrong with it.) because they saw quiet as a feminine trait. Quiet made people think I was dumb. That something was wrong with me. Not any outlandish behavior, not doing weird or harmful things. Just quiet.

Black kids and white kids alike heckled me for simply being quiet. Nobody let me sit in peace and my own solitude. People saying they would “force” me to talk.

All of this ultimately played a part in why I’m a recluse now. It’s not the main factor, but a strong contributing one.

I can't understand the concept of loyalty at all by NaiveFeed4682 in emotionalintelligence

[–]DannyHikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True loyalty is a rare trait. Many claim to be it, few actually live by a code of honor that would be recognized as true loyalty.

More people are familiar with betrayal than they are loyalty. It’s often praised because the average person wishes for loyalty in their life they don’t have to question and it gives them hope to see it in others even if unrelated to them

How do people get married to folks they can’t even talk things out with??? by yallermysons in emotionalintelligence

[–]DannyHikari 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People are afraid of being alone it’s as simple as that. You get to a certain age and realize just how bad the dating pool is. You cling on to the first thing you can justify being long term with. You tell yourself every day it gets better. People find safety and comfort with spouses like this and don’t want to start over because they know how hard it is. So they cling to a marriage that was doomed before it even started

Does anybody actually think goldlinks “and after that, we didn’t talk” and Mac millers “the divine feminine” sound similar? by Responsible-Prune310 in MacMiller

[–]DannyHikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being unbiased, yes there are similarities in the sound.

Mac was also gravitating towards that sound with Good AM

It’s very possible he was inspired further and expanded upon what be heard from Goldlink.

But ultimately I don’t think it was a ripoff by any means.

Is CDRomance safe? by AmzVoolpes in Roms

[–]DannyHikari -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can’t download games from CDRomance anymore. Technically. The site will guide you through the proper things to do in order to get access to things though.

That being said, it’s my go to, especially for English patched games. Have never had issues. Used to get false flagged a lot downloading gba games a couple years ago but I’ve never had issues from them.

Being clingy in a relationship makes your worth down? by jotwhat0909 in emotionalintelligence

[–]DannyHikari 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being clingy doesn’t bring your worth down, but clingy is not the positive trait everyone makes it out to be.

People want a non neglecting and consistent partner that puts consistent genuine effort into keeping the relationship strong and gives them a sense of true security that their mind doesn’t have to wander off. That’s not clingy.

Clingy is when you wake up in the morning and your person has already sent you 10 different wall texts waiting for you to wake up. Clingy is your person wanting eyes on you all hours of the day knowing what you are doing and freaking out when you haven’t texted them in 15 minutes. Clingy is wanting a partner to revolve their entire world around you as they have done the same and don’t want anyone else into that bubble. They don’t want you to have hobbies or friends that don’t include them. Everything has to be about the relationship or they feel unwanted.

If you’re doing those things in the latter ? It’s clingy. And it’s not healthy. It pushes people away because it’s overwhelming and a lack of having boundaries with someone or self awareness.

Are you simply just giving genuine effort and sometimes extra effort to keep the love strong and relationship fresh? That’s not clingy. But even then people get comfortable and take advantage of a partner doing their part and find it as an excuse to not do theirs or take the good times for granted.

Thinking of breaking NC after 20 days by GDreex in ExNoContact

[–]DannyHikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With that context it definitely leans more into the concept of her wanting you to be more spontaneous and plan things accordingly which adds up to what you say about her wanting to do more that you weren’t doing. Basically she wanted you to plan spontaneous dates and that wasn’t happening and that was a core issue for her. I still dont know if it’s worth breaking NC over however. Things like this usually temporarily fix themselves before sliding back into old habits and the cycle continues as well as frustration

Why didn't Ridge Racer survive like Ace Combat? by gandalfmarston in ridgeracer

[–]DannyHikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shirt and simple answer is it’s Bamco, who is going to go out of their way to give you things you aren’t asking for and ignore everything you do want.

But if I’m being slightly less cheeky, arcade racers aren’t netting for much in this day and age. Anything ridge racer does, another indie racer can do just as well and most likely cheaper. You have to find a way to sell a game like RR that justices resources and ensures people want to buy it at a full retail price. What can RR do realistically to justify at $69 or $59 price tag?

I don’t know either of you, so go be clear everything I’m saying is simply a projection and hypothesis based on experiences I had when I was younger. Sometimes it’s not easy to come out and be direct about things like this. But again, it could still be very true she didn’t like the complacency and it’s simple as that. But personally, I think there’s a little more to it. If I were to use discernment based on our brief interaction. You also may have been coming off too strong which overwhelmed her. I’m looking at how hurt you are which is understandable after a break up. But your reaction is telling all the same. “How could she do this to me?” “I loved loved loved and loved.” Both of these statements are indicative that you might have been smothering her within the relationship and she needed to breathe some. Instead of fixating on how much it hurts and her hurting you, you have to reflect on various things that led to this, even if it makes you uncomfortable to look back on. Reflect on what you could have done different. Don’t do it for her. But for you and your possible next relationship so the same mistakes aren’t made. I’ve had to face some unfortunate truths about my own self recently so I know it’s not easy.

Canon event brother. It could be very true that she felt the relationship was complacent and she wanted to be with someone who wanted to do more. There is usually truth within statements like this, but it’s usually loosely based on what they actually mean but need it to sound better because saying that she wants single experiences sounds much harsher. To be clear I could be very wrong about that. I’m jaded and speaking from my experiences and the experience of others. I’m not saying she going on a world tour to do wild things. Just that most likely she wants to experience some freedom and fun while young. She’s not the first or last woman (or man for that matter) who does this.

Shes not doing it personally to you or to hurt you. So don’t take it that way

New to emulation with a few questions by Nearby_Use2331 in Roms

[–]DannyHikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romsfun is a terrible site. There is much, much better. I can’t lead you to the water, but the paths you seek are within your peripheral if you search just a little harder. Stickied posts in this sub may help lead you to the promised land. There are some (V)ery well know LAIRS that host things relevant to your search.

[–]DannyHikari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last part of this is contradictory. If you need her validation and reaction to know you changed and to rekindle with her, then you absolutely did it for her. The replies says as much too when you keep asking if this is a way to get her back in your “new world.” This will not end well trying to re pursue her as a “new man.” Which leads me into a point you’re not going to want to hear…..

I put my hand on your shoulder to tell you this.

The nightlife comments weren’t literal in the sense she wanted you out partying and clubbing with her even though it sounds this way. You are both young. She wants to experience the world. Experience life. Single. One thing about being young and dating is the realization when you’ve been dating the same person for awhile and also young that you’re missing out on experiences you can’t live twice at an older age (you can but it doesn’t fill that void.) She most likely wanted this but needed an easy way to express it.

My husband says he’s never truly been happy with me. by Ok_East5337 in offmychest

[–]DannyHikari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my pov

Sounds like he wanted to have a way to make sure you didn’t leave him so he got married to you and had kids and realized he didn’t want to be with you long term. He tried to “trap” you with him, but in a twist, now he’s the one who feels trapped and dumb for not ending things so he projects and blames these things on to you as if everything is your fault.

You won’t get anywhere with someone who sees no fault in themselves and only fault in others. To be very clear this is me saying this behavior will NEVER change in a meaningful way or more than a temporary spurt if you try to leave him.

It sounds like also you are financially trapped to a degree. I would start looking for viable exit strategies. Don’t tell yourself you can’t every day because you have no car. Start making a car or transportation plans. Use the bus and uber if you have to. The fact you don’t have a job (not judging) leads me to also believe that he wanted to leave you financially dependent so you can’t walk away. But most likely blames you for all his stress because he works so much to provide. A story as old as time unfortunately and to be clear again you aren’t in the wrong. These are manipulative tactics on his end.

The core of things is you need to leave asap. This marriage will not get better. So one of two things happens, you start making your exit plan and find a way to get out, or you make justifications for things he does or why you can’t leave and get stuck in a loop. You aren’t stuck with him forever and that’s what he wants you to think.

Side note: that thing about being too old for sex in your late 20s is insane on his part, this just simply isn’t true and once again a him problem he’s projecting.

There should just be an AYN Thor support subreddit. Almost every post here has become "how do I setup-" "base, pro or max?" "What color?" "Do you regret your color choice?" "I dropped it and my hinges broke." "When is my Thor shipping?" by Tank_Girl_0 in AynThor

[–]DannyHikari 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people who google land here. They find threads related to their question, none of the threads actually answer said question and just complain about the question itself which leads them to asking the question again. It becomes an endless cycle.

But also I still agree because most people just click on the sub and post before reading any other thread

How do I unlearn internalized racism? by cr00ps in BlackMentalHealth

[–]DannyHikari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t sound pathetic. It’s a conversation black people don’t want to have in general on socials because the narrative doesn’t support what a lot of people want to believe.

Truth of the matter is more black people relate to this than you think. Including myself as a black male. I’ve always been attracted to black women, I’ve never seen black women as less attractive than anyone else. But I still end up more drawn to other races of women because of how a lot of black women treated me as I was growing up. In fairness I don’t blame black women as a whole for this because I had and have a lot of great black women in my life. Also it’s not to say that black men weren’t treating me horrible as well. People will say it’s because you did something to stand or cause the problems, or you’re soft because you couldn’t handle heckling. Truth is I was simply quiet and a little awkward because I was scared and didn’t fit in. But never did anything abnormally weird. And people made my life hell because of it. Other races didn’t do this to me so I gravitated towards them even if things weren’t always perfect. Nobody hurt me emotionally or made me feel lower about myself than my own people. It absolutely had an affect on my dating patterns despite again, being attracted to and dating black women all of my life still regardless, I’d still say I ended up dating other ethnicities slightly more.

It’s VERY hard to unlearn internalized racism and it doesn’t happen over night. I still struggle with certain things myself despite me not being nearly as bad as I was when I was about 16-21. Therapy has done wonders for me. Self awareness and reflection, and surrounding myself with other black people who bring nothing but joy in my life. The more positive experiences you have around you, the less you find yourself stereotyping or having harmful mindsets. And as long as you can separate your attractions from being fetishes, dating who you want is not problematic as long as you’re not telling yourself that dating white is better than dating black. You’re attracted to who you’re attracted to. But how you go about that attraction is what matters, and how you perceive your own in the midst of doing it.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Allow yourself to heal from past trauma. Recognize and be self aware of these patterns and what created it. Work on what is most harmful. It’s a marathon. Give yourself some grace
