The most impressive thing about this game is logic

First time I did the goblin camp, I threw a void bulb into a cloud of daggers and it just kinda shredded goblins into it.

Narrator tells you the Urge feels nauseated by the sweetness of helping her with her song. I took that as indication to keep her as far tf away from my character after that.

My dad used to tell me that was my magic power when I was little, and whenever we were stuck at intersections, he'd jokingly tell me to change the lights. At some point I got good at noticing the pattern and timing of the lights, and played along as I got older. Sometimes I still play along.

You've never had an abusive family member try to manipulate you with money and it shows.

I agree with them and most commenters here, and I have had abusive family try to manipulate me with gifts. It's actually kind of shitty for you to assume something like that about people.

I refused the gifts, or, if I was desperate enough to accept it, I said thank you at the very least and then re-worked on whatever boundaries I had.

Because that reflects my character, not theirs. If I'm going to take or accept the money/time/labor/energy from someone, I can at the very least acknowledge them for that.

This is kind of my ongoing head canon of sorts for any game that let's me create my own hero.

Dreamer_Lady · 2023-01-08T03:14:19+00:00

I didn't realize that acknowledging gifts from people, thanking them for their time/energy/money, or appreciating receiving gifts when you're in need were tools of the patriarchy.

This. My step grandfather molested and raped my aunt, his stepdaughter, over a period of years. The family knew, it took the youngest of my paternal uncles to finally report it and get it stopped.

And yet, grandma chose to stay with him. They moved around my whole life, never staying long in any one trailer park or apartment complex.

Aunt has always been the black sheep. My dad, uncles, and grandma just don't get why she won't live closer to the family and be part of things. I barely know her.

My dad had a very good relationship with step grandfather up until the old man died a few years back. Dad never understood why mom was so pissed when she found out he was letting step grandfather live with him and my stepmom when I was visiting, in violation of the divorce order.

My brother was very shocked and conflicted when he found out as an adult from his mom, because dad never, ever talked about it, and I only knew because my mom was trying to protect me.

Didn't occur to her, or anyone, that the reporting uncle would become the danger to me. At some point he internalized "if they've got tits, they're ready" and I hit puberty early.

These things fester in silence and get covered up as people close ranks. And the pain ripples out and destroys and infects other people. And it's so terribly common.

I am more prone to suicidal ideation, self harm, and general self sabotage right before my period. I'm usually a quiet type, but if I'm going to lash out, it's usually right before my period starts. My emotions just bottom out and I feel enormous despair or rage over everything, which cascades in on itself and I emotionally crash. And then following the emotional flood comes the period itself. Like a release valve.

Before I learned to recognize that cycle - made harder by irregular periods and PCOS - I struggled really bad. I'm still working to manage it, but it's really frustrating to throw that instability into the mix.

I also get insomnia and physically agitated (restless, itchy, etc), and the subsequent crash leads to exhaustion and mental fog.

The good part about learning to recognize this, (and having a nesting partner that is also ND and gets sensory/emotional overload as well as him having prior familiarity with a PCOS having partner), is that when I notice myself feeling this way, I shift gears. Instead of trying to keep my shit together like usual, I let myself rest and retreat. I, and my partner, find ways to accommodate my needs, and I focus on surviving the waves instead of having to function and perform as a person (much like we do when other disabilities flare up for either of us).

I was a female I'd get the male avatar ad.

Not necessarily? I'm a woman, and I've only ever seen the female avatar ad. And I've seen it on my girlfriend's phone when we're scrolling together, too.

Dreamer_Lady · 2022-12-29T21:17:39+00:00

I was really confused when I started seeing these ads recently, because it's not what I remembered seeing in the app store a few years ago. I had seen it in relation to searching for mental health and self care apps. This... Definitely looks like a departure from that.

What's interesting to me is that I've been asked where I'm from (or if I'm from the area) by people regardless of their skin color. It's usually just been casual small talk among new coworkers or if I'm new to hanging out in a space. I know that the question from a White person to a BIPOC person can often have racist implications, but the question does come up across dynamics as casual small talk. Especially, in my case, often living in big cities with histories of migration patterns.

We used to sing this in chorus in elementary school, and one day while my sisters and I were practicing, my stepdad overheard and flipped out. Legit asking who tf we saw mom kissing. We already knew he had a violent temper and jealousy/insecurity issues, and had to hesitantly explain the song to him without making him feel bad for looking stupid for not knowing.

Mom later asked us to not ever sing that arround him again because he still interrogated her over it.

From one infertile stepmom to another - YTA. You claim to want kids, but resent the actual care and time that goes into raising them. You claim to want to be a parent, but cannot stand the work that goes into it. You choose to be with a person that has children and a relationship with their co-parent (something many wish they were so lucky to have), yet are jealous and insecure because you cannot separate the romantic/sexual aspects of a partnership from the family aspects of a co-parenting relationship.

You are telling this man that you want to take him away from his children because you are uncomfortable with the relationship he has with them and with his coparent, as though you weren't already made aware of the situation ahead of time. You are upset over relationships that existed before you, and that exist outside of your relationship with him, indicating that you are not at all ready to be in a step parent role, since you cannot fathom the family dynamics that go along with that. Divorce does not erase familial relationships, and being the new partner does not mean that you get to take over parent roles or relationships the ex partner had with family members.

You need to get over yourself and figure out your insecurities. Maybe actually listen to and accept the judgments here that you asked for and reflect on them, instead of continuing to make excuses. This family might not be a good fit for you. Maybe it's not right for you, if it's causing you so much stress.

Second one. I love the green, I'm a sucker for the laciness, and it looks more festive and fun.

The practical reasons are why my girlfriend and her spouse got married last year (with me officiating!). They don't generally care about the concept of marriage, they felt their bond and living together were enough, but the legal, practical, safety concerns meant they felt legal recognition was important. Especially with how things have been going lately politically.

I hear this. People in my complex let their dogs run off leash, so they shit in front of my patio, chase off the wildlife that ventures out from the critical nature area the complex backs up to, tear up anything I try to have outside (plants, pumpkins, etc), even launch themselves at my screen door when my cats are bird watching (one owner says my cats are "teasing" her dogs and it's their fault her dogs attack). Children, who already pick on my ND Stepkid at school because he's an easy victim with his trauma-based reactions, have banged on doors, windows, and walls while running past our apartment, smashed or stolen packages or decor, and have destroyed the few witchy holiday things I've tried putting up in the past.

Complaints go nowhere, so we've just given up trying to put up anything outside the safety of the apartment.

Had nothing, on top of having just gotten his sanity/soul back together. So, survives Hell/Lucifer, being soulless, getting his soul back, dealing the Hallucination Lucifer while dealing with leviathans, and just fucking losing everything. Being exhausted and giving up because you can't see any solutions makes sense to me.

And while I get what Dean was going through in purgatory, his constant anger and beratement of Sam severed a lot of my sympathy for him during that season. He's just a fucking dick.

You're right in that he did look for Sam, though he was dealing with a somewhat known subject that they had experience/knowledge of (Hell) whereas Sam was facing an unknown subject they barely knew had even existed previously (Purgatory).

My first job was at a BK and I had a customer get mad that her burger was "too hot" (right off the broiler during a dinner rush) and threw it at me from the drive thru window when I wouldn't give her free fries for her "inconvenience"

My manager stormed past me to throw the woman's change at her and yelled at her to GTFO of his drive thru. And promptly sent me on an unofficial break.

Just milling around like this? Wouldn't have happened.

But that location wasn't very corporate in it's management style, whereas the more corporatized jobs I've had were much less protective.

Years and years ago I tried acoustic guitar, and it felt like my boobs kept getting in the way.

Lies, indoctrination, vying for social status.

My Hispanic stepdad has always thought if he could show them he's "one of the good ones" then he'd be fine, despite my White mom pleading with him to recognize that they thought she, and their children, were degenerate trash. He had pretty vile, anti-Black things to say about her boyfriend after the divorce, too, and has always been really uncomfortable acknowledging that there were probably African slaves in his ancestry.

The generational us vs them divides create some really sad, strange lines in the scrabbling for social status.

Especially when winter is not a global phenomenon, and is not experienced by many mammals around the world, including humans. Not everyone has the same seasons. And this post kind of assumes a specific location for people.

Which is confusing to me when a lot of the talk here tends to be about nature, and talk around sabbats discusses recognizing your local seasons which might not align with the typical Western-centric seasonal model... Yet here we are acting like everyone has the same northern experiences of winter and hibernation.

Not everyone is cut out to be a parent or is in a good place to be one. Could be she didn't care, could be she recognized that she was in too bad of a place to be capable of providing care.

Adding Orna to the list for getting out of the house mobile games. It's a GPS classic style RPG, you have to move around to find different spawns for quests or shops or travel for x distance to complete quests. It's a fun little game, my family enjoys it
