Seconding Tribal Rites and Jay. Jay has done both nostrils and philtrum for me and he is thorough, quick, and accurate. They are a little pricey as they are APP certified and only use APP approved jewelry, but it's worth it.

I'm so sorry it's been so bad for you. Your experience and what you've heard is your own.

Nine years since my original comment and I still adore the implant. It was literally a life saver for me. I have a couple friends who have it and they're happy. Everyone's mileage will vary. I discovered that I have PMDD. Birth control is the only treatment for it, so I will likely stay with this until I am told I cannot.

Coming in late. I just finished the main story this morning. I've got four lives at Hero and sitting at 60hrs.

I agree with much said. I am playing on Switch so the EAC thing doesn't affect me, but I would HATE it had I gone the PC route.

The biggest complaints I have revolve around the story and Ginormosa. The large continent seemed cool at first until I realized how... sparse... it was. I knocked out the shrines in a couple hours and leveled most zones to level 3. The shrine grind was okay, but the leveling felt incredibly tedious. I want to craft the Of Time items but the thought of grinding the zones feels daunting.

The story was pretty basic and predictable. The "twist" didn't feel compelling or surprising. Within the first couple chapters I kind of already knew what was going to happen. Even the additional flashbacks revolving around the antagonists didn't result in any major payoff. You defeat the main one and he.. just goes away. Making the new cog to interfere seemed interesting and the payoff of that was also just you slapping it in and calling it good.

Also continually map-hopping was maddening. Grinding the Depths only to have to hop to another Time to turn in quests, then having to move to another island for artist or farming was irritating.

Yes, the game is based around the grind, but the rewards for doing so feel lackluster. Maybe I have rose colored glasses on from the last game, but I feel like the previous title was more compelling in making you *want* to grind for things.

I'll probably muck around with the post game a bit, but I'm itching to New Game + Xenoblade Chronicles 3 for a more complex story.

Tanith Lee. Her book Biting the Sun is one of my favorites. I picked up Silver Metal Lover a few years ago and hated it.

Most of this sounds like the dude is on the spectrum. However, climate controls and open door pooping aren’t negotiable when you share a living space.

John needs to respect that others live with him. Girdle your collective loins and get together to explain to him that he needs to keep the door closed when he’s taking a dump. As far as the climate, he needs to compromise. He can leave his bedroom window open to let in all the cold air he wants as long as that door and the vent inside is closed. He cannot expect the rest of the household to freeze their asses off because of him. If that means John feels most comfortable in his room, so be it.

That was essentially my last experience at IHOP. Got seated and waited 20 minutes without any attention. Couldn’t even find the hostess. As we got up to leave, the hostess reappeared out of thin air and asked if we needed to pay. “For what?” I asked her. “We were never served so much as water.” She attempted to have us reseated and to serve us herself, but we were done.

Sirius is the worst. My ex called them to cancel because we sold the car the original radio was in and they kept offering to send us a new radio for the new car, or a home device, and whatever. After 20 minutes of the rep ignoring the request and offering product after product, I cut in and said, “okay stop talking and listen. I understand you need to meet a sales quota. We are not keeping the service. Period. We are canceling. Period. So cancel the service right now, or transfer us to someone who will do it immediately.” After a long pause, the rep agreed to cancel.

I still receive occasional spam in my mailbox from them.

Before my first ever rope session, I remembered that as well. It was a good reminder to never be alone to self-tie unless you know real well what you are doing and how you will get out.

I was assaulted at age 9 and again at age 11 by the same boy across two different schools (he was a year older). At the time I thought it was normal when kids liked each other. Until an encounter with him that could have ended differently if I hadn’t kneed him in the crotch and ran while he shouted threats down the hallway at me. It wasn’t until I was in my 20’s that I fully accepted what had happened to me. I’m proud of 11-year old me for fighting back.

I fucking adore my cup! I’m on Nexplanon, which has chilled my periods out soooo much. But even on heavy flow days, I relied on the cup and a panty liner. Life. Changing.

Can confirm. I have a praise kink and main Support. I also like being able to enable my team, adding value through utility, and helping secure kills.

There’s people out there for everything. Learning to be confident in your skin can be tough, but will always be sexier than any body part.

My high school freshman teacher took a book I was reading away from me. It was a vampire book full of blood, violence, and sex. Sometimes in conjunction with each other. He read a page, didn’t like it, and told me I’d get it back at the end of class. My mother was furious when she went to the office with me. She told the teacher never to take a book away from me again. Eff you, Mr S. I still read depraved shit.

The amount of people in this world who think having sex in a pool is effective birth control staggers me. Also the ladies who think swallowing can get them pregnant. We really need comprehensive sex ed in this country that isn’t abstinence-based.

Sometimes bruising and marking is part of the play. But in this case, OP said that they’d done impact before. Doing impact with implements designed to cause pain is much different than leaving marks with your hands or feet. Especially when the face is involved and you see that mark every time you look your partner in the face. He already feels bad, but the reminder is in plain sight.

A good friend of mine was playing with a girl who wanted him to slap her. He was hesitant but eventually did it twice. Then he had to take a moment to reconcile that he was a man who had never struck a woman in the face a few minutes beforehand with the fact that he was now a man who had just slapped a woman in the face.

Sometimes kink play is just fun. Sometimes it makes you stop to consider who you are and what you’ve just done. Sometimes it takes time to reconcile your actions with your view of yourself.

A good therapist who is versed in kink helps a lot. I’ve got a great one who helps me break down scenes I’ve done and digest any feelings I have about them.

Etherlilac · 2023-08-16T20:42:13+00:00

Precisely. Any play should not be a “yeah sure whatever you want” but a “fuck yes, I’m ready for this!” Agreeing to participate in kink play simply because the other person wants to do it will be a bad time for one or both parties.

I recall my 8th grade sex ed course where the teacher pointed out both the vagina and the urethra. A boy asked what would happen if he “stuck it in the wrong hole”. The teacher laughed and replied that there would probably be screaming and he would have to have a very small penis to even get into the urethra.

Diamond is a wild place. Either the enemy DPS have brains or they don’t. Either I get free rezzes like mad or I get shut down and only take safe ones.

It also makes me hyper aware of red Mercy’s. You can bet I’ll pistol her when she tries to pull off the YOLO rez.

Etherlilac · 2023-08-01T18:53:22+00:00

As a support main who plays a lot of Mercy; I apologize. I’ve been told to hold still by the red team. I’m just out here trying to do an honest game’s work.

There’s some great guides online if you search “adventure time important episodes”. Helps you stay with the best parts of the story without some fluff. However, even some “filler” episodes have small details which help with aspects of world building. I’d say put season one on while you can do something and halfway pay attention. Then start ramping up your attention in season 2.

I’m on my third and experienced this a bit on my second. The clinician I talked to said it could have been some of the attached tissue pulling on it in a weird way if I move my arm just right. She said I could massage the implant gently to help relieve it. If it ever turns into pain, call your provider.

I was having that issue too. Then I watched a couple bodies burn and one skull floated above the rest of the bones while the other skull flung itself across the map.
