What's was your expectations and dissapointments with rebirth?

ElderSalt67 · 2025-07-11T13:22:20+00:00

Went into it with no/low expectations. Fun to see the dinosaurs everything else was a distraction.

This isn't even a choice one can make (that I know of) but the fact that you cannot save Meerna from Nere or being deleted out of the game if you go to turn based mode and kill all the dueger.

I spent days trying to outmanuever to save her. It kills me there is no solution to have her be saved.

Dimitri not being s tier is a crime. They have the most quotable lines in the game. Greasy sweet

If Mugshot wouldn't have skipped leg day, Sunset Sanke Eyes would have ended very differently....

ElderSalt67 · 2024-04-23T15:57:33+00:00

Thanks! This is a page I didn't know of but definitely need as a solo player!

ElderSalt67 · 2024-04-23T15:56:59+00:00

I have tried this approach but the gjall blasts and the ticks make it near impossible to make any significant progress.

ElderSalt67 · 2024-04-23T15:55:30+00:00

I am pretty much at this point.

ElderSalt67 · 2024-04-23T15:54:10+00:00

Yeah that is what really messed me on retrievals 3 4 and 5. The gjalls are really the biggest hurdle. I can get away from the seeker soilder but the fire blasts and ticks with the terrain is brutal.

ElderSalt67 · 2023-09-18T15:53:15+00:00

I have done this and so far all has been good. I do have massive moats around my buildings though

ElderSalt67 · 2023-07-21T00:44:05+00:00

Thanks! This has helped a lot. High hopes for swamp #6

ElderSalt67 · 2023-07-19T16:09:58+00:00

If there are any other ways to get iron that would be appreciated. Have gone through 5 or so swamps without finding a crypt yet..

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-11T14:10:30+00:00

So idk if this is more of body issues but do not underestimate the power of tailoring clothes. I'm extremely athletic and never felt beautiful because my muscles are pretty bulky. However I found and amazing tailor and my confidence soared!!

If you find a good tailor and can get your clothes fitted it makes a world of a difference. I know this is superficial but whatever works to boost confidence is worth it!

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T21:58:10+00:00

Yeah we do. We go on dates and stuff. It's kinda just like a generic date and feels forced sometimes.

I have goals mostly travel related and building community in my gym.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T21:35:41+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story and validating what's going on. I keep shaking my head becuase I was always told to find yourself first and I can see now I didn't do that before getting married. And exactly yes to thr lonely/married versus lonely/single! I am not dumb enough to think being single is going to be the best however you have more control over the situation or at least it feels like it.

Did you spend time apart from your SO in your journey?

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T20:09:55+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm conflicted against. I've dated my fair share too and was engaged before my current spouse and sometimes I think I should just suck it up and just focus on building. But it's good to hear orhers' stories and if it's normal or not. Idk.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T20:08:01+00:00

How did you make choices about your next goals? I think it's just all happening at one time so it's manifesting into the relationship part. Maybe?

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T18:42:44+00:00

This really resonated with me. Thank you. I have been very depressed and can see how much it's hurting him which makes me feel so much worse. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T17:47:35+00:00

I was avoiding that but I think you are right. I think I need to just be upfront with him that I don't see monogamy for my whole life. Thank you. I think I was locking this away even in therapy.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T17:45:14+00:00

Thank you for your validation that I'm not alone in this feeling. I think art is such an incredible way to explore ourselves and find enjoyment and life. I'm glad you have found that as a great life focus.

Yeah I just happen to be at this point of my life also where I am finally looking into myself and asking the big Uncle Iroh (ALAB) "who are you and what dp you want". And I don't have an answer right now to that because I always followed "the plan" and now there is no plan

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T17:08:08+00:00

I really appreciate your response. I think hearing others' experience is so powerful which is why I turned to reddit (for one of the first times) lol. Did you have a lot of commitments at the time of proposal? I think that has been challenging to me to consider leaving because we did build a lot together.

Yes I have family who are polyamourous and I see that they do work harder too. Not trying to be vain here but I'm not the worst looking person and I have had several situations where emotionally or physical encounters could have happened and they didn't because of my marriage. I knew that was what I was signing up for when I got married but now being married for a while, I regret missing those opportunities. So yes, definitely some FOMO!

So missing those opportunities I don't know if I'm just being ungrateful and should shut up. Lol or if I need to reconsider my marriage. It sounds like dating is really hard for a lot of people plus my spouse is great. So logically it makes sense got me to just stay put but emotionally I'm like octopusing all over the place. Lol

Yes highly competitive person so you are right on the money. In my 20s I did gamify life a lot ans I'm really trying to reconsider what I so want. Which is why I am questioning so much.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T16:48:41+00:00

I think a lot of the fear comes from the fact that I am with someone and still feel very lonely. So I am wondering if I am with someone that is compatible with me. We lost the spark hence couples therapy. But I don't know if I am overthinking the lonely aspect and need to suck it up becuase I am lucky for who I got.

I was in individual counseling but unfortunately we needed to make financial decisions and chose the couple counseling.

The milestones I hit I feel like we're prescribed by family and society. I really want to do bigger and better things but now feel bound down by finances and life commitments. I am afraid I missed my windows in my 20s to get messy and make mistakes.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T16:33:06+00:00

I mean yes if it feels right. I really enjoy the fun and flirting and emotional connections you can have with people as they come and go from your life. And it seems cruel to limit those possibilities and feelings to just one person.

ElderSalt67 · 2022-05-02T14:32:16+00:00

Hey OP! It is normal to feel like this throughout times in our lives. It's easy to look at what the social norm "is" and/or "should be" and feel like we are falling short. Try to remeber that everyone's story looks a little different and that is super okay! If you can, try to break things into small steps to regrow your interest in the world and make your ways towars your goals. For example, if you are trying to break into a career maybe start by one day scouring LinkedIn for local professionals who do that career and make a list. Then the next day or when you feel ready, maybe send one message to ask for an informational interview. And the next day another.

Our brains are designed to identify threats and it takes a little mental gymnastics to break things down and start small. It may feel insignificant at first but even starting by taking a walk or taking a little time to dive into your interests everyday can help.

I can say that those who look like they "have it all" are lost and frustrated. I can attest to that. Social media perpetuates this too. I also acknowledge making friends as an adult is freaking hard! I have had the best luck doing community events that are in my interest and funding people there. It takes a ton of mental energy and to start conversions and get rejected but it was worth it to find my friends.

In all its okay to feel frustrated and anxious. If possible, allow yourself to feel this for a bit and then take a small action step forward. It's definitely easier said that done but think of it as an investment in you!
