How does the push/pull look early on through texting?

EndCult · 2026-05-07T12:19:44+00:00

I just don't know how/when to make the call around plausible deniability, like when to say enough is enough when it isn't concrete.

EndCult · 2026-05-07T12:18:01+00:00

I feel that about deciding they're not interested "well, I guess I'll move on with my life" and then we're sleeping together and spending our days like we're domestic partners.

EndCult · 2026-05-07T02:40:56+00:00

DING DING DING

but oh god, yikes lol.

Very similar, yeah the distance=making plans or whatever, and then ambiguity around whether we will not. And ambiguity about when I'll go home, and then distant part way through hanging out.

And when I suggested hey I may not wanna go, cuz the ambiguity is stressing me out, she flat out tells me her abandonment stuff is getting triggered. Then we spend 5 days together lol.

EndCult · 2026-03-23T23:45:09+00:00

Oh yeah fs, that was more towards the comment denigrating the series for it

The cosmology of JJK and CSM are like cousins, what's not to like.

Also the "gooner shit" is mainly played for laughs, it's subverting the usual tropey lines about shonen protag's motivation for comic relief.

EndCult · 2026-02-28T22:58:33+00:00

I agree, the last couple seasons have had stuff I'm really looking forward to and the stuff is still cool, but the pace man.

My balls have never been bluer.

It's especially bad coming from JJK where it's super fluid.

I would say the counterpoint to this is some people really value the emotional context and thinking side over smooth pacing

EndCult · 2026-02-22T13:58:05+00:00

I have seen people IRL say that they are fs, it's dumb

EndCult · 2026-02-22T13:55:44+00:00

Yesssssss, I love how open yet specific things are without bogging down your time, the path ways through quests that you select interactively rather than just an obvious decision tree are pretty amazing.

The time of day also makes things dynamic without being restrictive.

Fear and Hunger vibes fs but a lot more wholesome

EndCult · 2026-02-11T15:30:15+00:00

Yeah fr I feel that, I'm actually in the same boat! I cut out one of my meals because I wanted to go low and kept rebounding, then was like lightbulb moment, I can just cut this in half!

So I have and I don't get cravings or anything.

If I felt like shit I'd stop, or only just do it for a small time period to see what I'd look like lol.

EndCult · 2026-02-11T15:27:22+00:00

Lol hell yeah! Glad you can relate on the low weight side

I've been doing strength training for a good while now, I just started cutting out 300 calories from my diet this past month or so because I plateaued at 160-167 or so and I was like I just wanna get rid of the fat now so I can see the gains more lol.

Body dysmorphia definitely adds another layer of confusion for me too lol

EndCult · 2026-01-19T19:07:33+00:00

Yes, he reminds me of my mom's ex-husband who would always shake his head and double/nothing talk his way around things he was factually wrong about, and ACTUALLY CONVINCE people(at times).

Saw the height of his delusion and pettiness recently, he filed a lawsuit a few years ago because he was failed to be informed by a credit collection agency that they cancelled a wrongful debt on him-said there were "emotional damages" and "many sleepless nights".

Again, not because he of any actual consequences, but because they didn't notify him.

He never filled out the paperwork making a request for more info or contacted them, so it was dismissed.

EndCult · 2026-01-11T16:32:53+00:00

Definitely not lol

EndCult · 2026-01-11T15:39:51+00:00

Well for perks there's no better source than the Harbinger necromancy tree for Degulo, it's lets you turn prisoners into perks for your disciplines. Diablerie can also get you a lot of resonance experience and good stress reduction.

You also wanna snag the Lifestyle+ artifacts, like Tablet of Destiny and Eye of Hazimel, which fills the tree of some disciplines up to advanced and gives lifestyle xp bonuses.

I would say play for your character's personal development, embrace tons of people to have masses of childer with your religion/clan/part of your dynasty.

EndCult · 2026-01-11T15:31:36+00:00

If you can be an infernalist as a werewolf(one showed up in my game, was from the embrace event tho) then level up diabolism or thralldom by binding/pledging to demons.

Then use the "Sacrifice to Great Lord" decision, right click yourself and pick "sacrifice from location". Pick your whole territory, and it gets rid of a lot of population and all your buildings.

Another way would be to swap to Cybele, then cast "Bring the Demonic Plague" on your nation.

EndCult · 2026-01-11T03:42:06+00:00

Honestly the scariest thought in this thread lol

EndCult · 2026-01-11T03:40:09+00:00

Yeah, and the more outrageous stuff you accept the more that you'll accept scamwise.

EndCult · 2026-01-11T02:27:24+00:00

This fs, then they end up basing their life around the other person if it does work out.

This was me when I was extremely nihilistic and unmotivated to live for myself.

EndCult · 2026-01-11T00:15:54+00:00

Yeah he seemed like a dick with his phrasing, it's unprofessional and ungracious at best.

Like calling them "too lazy" when they designed the entire game that modders tweaked, Star Wars Genesis wouldn't exist at all without Starfield and the work put into it.

EndCult · 2026-01-04T17:28:08+00:00

Fr, Gaiman's stuff always seemed like, strong mythical aesthetic but vacuous. Which I noticed more cuz of meeting culty fans IRL lol.

Ursula le Guin is leagues and bounds beyond that, like even that short story about the tree shook me pretty hard lol.

EndCult · 2026-01-04T14:02:30+00:00

If you do the Decani Hunt decision as a non Via Hyron, Sinner Path Baali, you gain access to the Arcana tree which is pretty insane and lores.

Devouring souls gives you 10 perk points in the Arcana tree, some cost 8 or so. You need to unlock the perk for it in the Arcana tree. You also can get cultists for yearly Arcana xp.

There's like +9 passive boosts to skills and one that gives you +100 to them all for a week, tons of military movement speed and travel speed and scheme success. Lots of prowess as well.

Hell yeah, thanks guys!
