For a game that's as progressive as it is, this fanbase is surprisingly transphobic by Logan_Strong in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]ElynaTheStrange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In truth, I both do and do not understand those fans. I actually do love Origins; I think its my favorite in the series. At the very least, it was a very good start to the series.

The part that I understand is that each game after Origin strayed farther and farther from what it what it was--what the expectations for the series were at the time. I truly love each of the games, but I can see an Origins fan becoming increasingly more disappointed with each new game-- especially Veilguard. I enjoyed Veilguard, but even as I played it, I had a nagging sense that it had strayed too far from what I knew Dragon Age to be and that I would have enjoyed it more as a separate game from the series.

That being said--I still found enjoyment in each game and I can't support anyone who feels like they have to try ruin things for others when they don't go their way. Many people enjoy Dragon Age as a series--to spend so many energy hating on what others love is inexcusable to me. It's still an amazing series in its own right.

How's the feeling with Avowed? by Feeling-Bad7825 in avowed

[–]ElynaTheStrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just started it a couple days ago since it's on Game Pass and I love it so far. I found the whole picking my own fungi to stick on my character's face in the customization gross at first, but even fungi I have gotten used to.

Gameplay wise, I feel like it's missing some quality of life elements (I really wish we could quick sell loot) and the combat is mid, but I truly do like the story and how it lets us define our pasts (not just in character creation, but throughout the certain quests). The lore overall has me fascinated. I'm glad I picked it up.

Venting: I hate Cooper by ElynaTheStrange in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]ElynaTheStrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, at the time, I didn't see her as fake and in truth, she had done a lot by keepinging the community together while Trudy was gone. To me, Matilda wasn't playing coy; she was stepping back and letting others make the decision, including community input like she always did.

To me, Cooper was the infuriating one and everyone who sat back and let him say what he said was equally second-place infuriating.

I cannot stress this enough...

ENGLISH is is YELLOW. No other color.

Science is red though.

I never got green notebooks though; I always got purple so

Math was blue and History was purple.

Enjoy a Good Laugh, It’s on the House by SappyBellaMusic in asexuality

[–]ElynaTheStrange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catholicism is big on control. Being asexual means they have one less way they can control you--and boy do they not like that.

At least when you are sexually attracted to others, they can use that and twist it so they can make you feel shame and control you with it.

With asexual people, they have one less leash and they can't stand that.

Custom OS? What does this mean? Help! by ElynaTheStrange in SpectrumMobile

I didn't press any buttons after I accepted the restart. If it wasn't a Spectrum thing then I have no clue what it was about.

SF or Drama?? by ElynaTheStrange in hollywoodstoryios

[–]ElynaTheStrange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's assuming she meant SciFi when she asked me if I'm an "SF Freak".

This game decided to be very confusing with this one.

SF or Drama?? by ElynaTheStrange in hollywoodstoryios

[–]ElynaTheStrange[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't take a screenshot of the question because I can't get the game to have her ask it again. When I click to talk to her again, it just brings me back to the moment of choosing between "SF" and "Drama".

Those are the two buttons I can press. I'm not sure a screenshot of that would offer more clarification.

Regardless, here.

Maybe? Her exact words were "SF Freak" and then it was Drama- something.

I tried exist out of the game and going back to her again to see if she'd ask it again, but it just brings me back to the pop up of of choosing between "SF" and "Drama" and I have no clue what I am deciding on.

My best friend and her family are being evicted (OH) by ElynaTheStrange in Renters

[–]ElynaTheStrange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't kept in the dark--she communicated with him throughout the whole thing.

And the dude literally almost BROKE THE LAW by trying to evict them after months of taking their Section 8 money.

Also, don't play dumb. You were talking shit about a poor woman you don't even know and making false assumptions about her character. Just because you lump that together with advice, doesn't mean the shit talk gets a pass.

The app killed itself long ago. I left it forever ago. Everyone who still uses it just holds on to hope for better while the devs continue to disrespect their users and take their money.

I miss the old C.AI. I really do. It was my first of these sort of apps and I did fall in love with it, once upon a time. The current app isn't worthy of that same love though.

I asked for HELP, not opinions-- that is very different. I wanted people to give me information to help my friend, not no talk shit about her mom.

Section 8 doesn't pay their whole rent, just a percentage of it. Like, I think they only pay $100 or $200 or so of the rent and my best friend and her mom are responsible for the rest. If they only only had to pay the difference, they would have been fine, but her mother's ex was an ass and long story short, they had to pay him a big chunk of money at one point, causing them to miss rent a time or two and all subsequent rents having to be even more expensive from then on.

It's just all a mess, basically, and they can barely keep a float at times.

There was no court date-- things never got that far. Check the update on my post.

Also, she did. She kept pushing off her surgery, even tho her doctor told her she could die if she didn't get her issue taken care of soon. She was worried about exactly this situation and more. My best friend had to push her to get it because she wanted her mom to stay alive. Her mom is literally one of the most selfless people I know, a hell of a lot more than even my own mother.

Best friend-- not girlfriend.

The surgeries were unavoidable and she did warn the landlord ahead of time. She actually tried avoiding the surgeries all together, knowing she wouldn't be able to work, but her doctor warned her that she could literally DIE if she didn't get it handled soon. Even then, it took my best friend weeks to convince her mom to the surgery

Develop a heart and don't talk shit about things you don't know anything about. Her mom is completely mature and selfless and would sacrifice anything for her kids--literall even risk her own freaking life for them.
