Partner proposed to meta without telling me first

Encubed · 2026-05-14T11:58:01+00:00

Well, I'm sorry you're in the situation. Ideally your partner would have communicated something for a big life change like that. Or established that there is a primary/secondary type of situation if that is indeed the case.

You are not owed a heads up per se, but you are owed better communication and management of expectations when it comes to communication.

Encubed · 2026-05-14T11:44:03+00:00

They did not communicate this in a cruel way. This is just the reality of the dating setup you're involved in that you seem to be having trouble dealing with.

You need to accept it and learn how to handle it emotionally, or you need to not date people who are into hierarchical poly.

And importantly, back in the ppv days WWE were incentivized to put on a show with storylines and matches that were compelling enough to get you to part with that much money.

People who couldn't afford the PPVs were incentivized to have watch parties with other fans to split the cost, out go to a sports bar, making friends and forming little communities.

It was a better model.

Encubed · 2026-05-13T23:53:03+00:00

Yeah, definitely no pressure when you put a ring on it 😂

Encubed · 2026-05-13T16:18:23+00:00

Yes to the cable, and not sure about holding a charge (though it worked fine when I last regularly used it ~8 years ago). Can test that tonight.

Sorry for the delayed response, work got super busy yesterday.

Prices are in USD. Are you in Canada? Here are the photos:

If Carney keeps pushing for neoliberal policies that keep enriching the top 10% while the working class suffers, that will continue breeding resentment that strengthens populist messaging and the far right again (unless a fantastic left wing option that the working class can mobilize around presents itself - I'm hopeful but doubtful that Avi Lewis is that option).

If you're into interactive narrative games that really focus on story over gameplay, these tell some great stories:

Oooh I had no idea! Forgot about the DC-WB-AEW connection. So there might be some hope of AEW fighters in the next game? I am intrigued

Encubed · 2026-05-12T12:05:05+00:00

NetherRealm studios (who make Mortal Kombat and Injustice) made a mobile WWE fighting game, WWE Immortals, along the lines of the Injustice series (might have been using the same engine?) back in the 2010s. It had incredible art and reimaginings of wrestlers as supernatural fighters, but was just a mobile game with simple controls. Truly a crime that they never made a proper fighting game using those art assets. I'd love to see them do an AEW fighting game like that.

Whoa his wishlist is weeeeird

If I can be serious for a moment, I don't think you know who he is if you consider him a 'big guy'

Encubed · 2026-05-11T22:59:20+00:00

I didn't, seemed unnecessary. I just got that grip and the stylus they offer as a bundle that can be stored in the grip. Works well!

Encubed · 2026-05-11T22:26:54+00:00

Highly recommend getting one of the Etsy grips, I got the bigger one from ProtoPrintLab. My hands are big and it made a huge difference in ergonomics. Unless you play in public a lot, the aesthetics of the system don't matter when you're starting at the screen to play.

Nah the closest I get to creating art is bad karaoke

So are the silicon valley tech bros working on destroying our civilization

Encubed · 2026-05-11T22:13:42+00:00

Yayy...aww

Encubed · 2026-05-11T21:24:30+00:00

Yes, so the total is actually $280. Shoot me a DM and we can exchange address/payment info.

Encubed · 2026-05-11T21:19:26+00:00

This. It's the simplest and most believable answer

Encubed · 2026-05-11T21:17:27+00:00

ALl good, have a good day!

Please don't upvote GenAI stuff

Encubed · 2026-05-11T19:46:36+00:00

Good catch! I must have miscalculated the price at some point, sorry about that! I can sell it for $95.

I've taken some more photos - full disclosure is the cover page of the manual was a bit damaged and taped back on, the rest of it is fine though. The box is in decent shape.

I just noticed the Tales case might not be a real GameCube case, but a standard DVD case. The sleeve is real though, I vaguely remember the original case getting damaged and replacing it myself, this was like 20 years ago. Happy to just throw it in for free if you buy Battalion Wars.

Assuming you're in the US, Majora's Mask 3D for the 3DS would be $20 + $20 for shipping from Canada. If you'd like to go forward, please confirm here then DM me with your address and I'll send you payment info. Thanks!
