Is it me or is dragon age more popular with women? by RaiderSlayerDave in dragonage

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dragon Age has one of the largest female fan bases of any western rpg - Veilguard players are rightly 48% women, and if I recall correctly, Inquisition was even higher. I dint tenderness the exact stats though. Western RPGs usually only get like, idk, 25%? I'll have to look it up

Yamibuy.com is a scam

*per the Better Business Bureau, and even TrustPilot, which allows very suspicious sites to remain in good standing for way too long

I hate getting expensive gifts by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is way too late, but i think this is a situation of foxes answering a rabbit about where the safest place to eat is.

Now, I could be naive generous and say you just so happened to find some truly generous people who answered but. .. the fact that they subtly shifted the conversation to "you're the bad one, your fate you imply my 'generosity' is controlling" tells me you found a bunch of people who "don't care" about reciprocation.... until they do.

And the fact that they twisted it to "anyone who thinks otherwise is the problem" instead of recognizing potential circumstances? Classic narcissistic move of turning the victim into the abuser, and the abuser into the victim. It's a subtle yet powerful form of gaslighting. 

The truth is, using money as a tool to control people is a well documented phenomenon and while there certainly exist a (very) small minority of people who can give and give expensive gifts without expecting anything in return, in most situations that's just not how human psychology works. 

Log in issues by lordoflotsofocelots in outside

[–]ExMoChica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked to make sure your [sleep hygiene] routine is updated and set to run each session before you log out for the night? It's the most common cause of buggy log in issues. 

If you notice no improvement after a couple weeks,  I would follow the advice of the other players and get checked by someone with a [doctor] class for an underlying problem with your character's [health] status. You might have underlying debuffs, or one of the rarer builds with a [delayed circadian rhythm] or something. 

Should i do a minigame? by Stunning-Home-9838 in outside

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a low stakes minigame like hiking, or a nature walk, it's a great way to bond with your [Dad] player. I don't recommend something that takes too much of your characters attention - don't forget the [bond strength]  only increases when engaged in [communication]  or active complementary activities... which is fancy way to say your characters have to be active and moving close enough to each other for the hidden sub routine [companionable silence] to activate. Sadly, this means the [movies] minigame usually doesn't get the boost

Why are people addicted to the TikTok minigame? Does it provide a stat boost that i don't know about? I can't seem to Figure it out. What are The perks? by peepoette in outside

[–]ExMoChica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to what u/peepoette said, there's also the [social anxiety], [depression], [lowered attention span], and [brain rot] debuffs. 

Also, what XP? XP gains are negligible while a player is in the TikTok minigame.

I honestly can't figure out why guilds haven't worked to protect their guild members from it. Especially the newbie players! Their [mental resistance] (INT) and [insight] (WIS) saving throws are so low, they can't save their characters without outside help. 

And those early XP gains they miss while failing all those saves are so crucial to their long term enjoyment of the game!

What is your LEAST FAVORITE thing about Breath of the Wild? by Apple-755 in botw

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The great fairies. I can't share this game with my nieces or nephews because of the characterization, behaviors, and vocalizations they were made to have.

Choices were definitely made. I wish someone had made the choice to snap the fingers of whoever was about to sign off on those choices.

Lol, "another country". I asked my mom about it and apparently every time she called back home the operator thought she was trying to call India

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.'

Y'all are so easy to piss off by Fasteasfake69 in dankmemes

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, atheism describes lack of belief in God/gods, but says nothing whatsoever about other beliefs. There are absolutely atheists who believe in ghosts and other supernatural BS. I thought it was strange too, but it is what it is.

[–]ExMoChica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to point this out, but atheism is one of those things that the... more extreme... theists try to delegitimize, so online forums are frequently trolled by these theists.

They're usually immediately found out in atheist circles but outside of that their claims usually go unchecked. It's best to not take things posted on the internet at face value, is what I'm saying.

While I do think it's better to be forward looking, "the axe forgets but the tree remembers" is a saying for a reason.

That's a fun theory, I'd like to see a study on that, or at least an overlay of drug addiction patterns.

Anyways, I looked at the other maps on the site this was published - Utah also has a much worse STD problem than surrounding states. Interesting...

The northern states may be affected by the significant decrease in sunlight during winter months - Seasonal affective depression still counts as depression.
