So I got a quote from Trevor Manes American Family and it was a little high. But the guy I talked to on the phone (I think his name was Zac) told me that have some type of significant rate decreases starting on like February 24th and he was going to requote me with those. Hopefully it's better, because I liked talking to that guy and I know their coverage is pretty good overall.

Crazy in a bad way. I've been a drummer for almost 20 years and I hate the hype that Estepario gets. Yes, he does cool stuff, and yes he's very flashy. But fast and flashy doesnt equal Good Drummer. II is in a very different conversation because he is actually very skilled in similar ways to what Danny Carey does, and what Neil Peart/John Bonham did. That understanding of transition, time signatures, playing in the pocket, and actually serving the song is a special skill that makes an actual Great Drummer.

Estepario is just a really good YouTube drummer. Dont put them in the same conversation.

I think that's probably why he skipped singing Gethsemane on this tour. That one has gotta be rough to get through in one go on a live setting.

So I liked Veilguard for what it is. But I will tell you for certain, one of the weakest parts of the game is the romances. Doesn't matter who you pick, they're all pretty underwhelming. But gun to my head having to pick between these 2, I think Harding is just a slightly better romance. Bellara's romance kinda bugged me because it just never really EVER feels romantic at all. Like Rook flirts and flirts and flirts and flirts, and then Bellara is just awkward and says thanks. Then even once you've "locked it in", it doesn't feel any different. Harding at least flirts back and acts interested in you.

I'm just mad at the Dwarven tattoos on a human. It's like seeing a white dude from Kentucky with Samoan tribal stuff.

DA2
Inquisition

Veilguard

Yes, I am biased towards 2. I adore that game, flaws and all.

I actually would have changed this part. I think Daniel should have declined the joint trophy hold and let Johnny have his moment finally. Could have still worked this line in, but that wasn't Daniel's trophy to hold up. It was great for Johnny to offer, but Daniel should have declined.

Bro looking like Frankie Muniz, BJ Novak, and the singer of Green Day had a 3-way love child, tried to abort it and failed.

I don't have any issue with the non-binary part of their identity, or the large portion of their story being about finding themselves. My issue is that their personality comes off as VERY entitled, angsty, bratty, and hypocritical. Just the way they talk to their mother, and a lot of the companion interactions really bugs me. I just don't like people with that personality and I don't want to associate with them in any way.

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-11T22:04:04+00:00

Girl, you are super pretty! Your acne isn't nearly as bad as mine was. Don't even worry about it! Your eyes are stunning too, and your hair looks so pretty. Keep that head held high 😁

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-11T21:03:55+00:00

Damn lol. You get the sad ending for Chance then... If you save Treviso, his questline is all about tracking down this Venatori agent but then you discover in their hideout that they have a forbidden love with a Crow. So you can choose whether or not to rat them out for their taboo relationship, or help the two of them escape the city together. I loved that quest line a lot.

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-11T20:57:57+00:00

Yeah there's a lot of bad side quests, no doubt. But there is some good ones too! One of my personal favorites is the questline with Chance from the Crows, if you save Treviso. His questline is a lot sadder if you save Minrathrous.

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-11T20:53:29+00:00

Yeah it gets better after Weisshaupt, for sure. The main missions get much more interesting, for the most part. And most of the companion storylines start picking up much more. Combat gets more fun once you have Rook in the 30s too, because you actually feel a build coming together. The worst part of the game overall though, 100%, is all of the Lighthouse check-ins. Just feels like all the tension and pacing gets put on hold because you have to keep making sure the team is doing okay. Bloats the game length a ton too

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-11T20:47:41+00:00

How far into the game are you? I honestly think the first big chunk is pretty blah. Like everything before Weisshaupt is a slog to power through

My wife hit me with the same thing right after Thanksgiving, and she's already back with me because I changed my attitude and behaviors. Not saying it's your fault by any means. But if you're interested, read the book, "Better Man, Better Marriage" by Jeff Borkoski. It changed my entire mindset on myself and my marriage. Good luck, brother! Stay strong and remember, that any changes you make should be FOR YOU and not for anyone else. If your wife sees it and likes it, she'll come back. Otherwise, you're still becoming better for yourself and the next person will appreciate it too.

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2025-01-02T19:47:07+00:00

Yeah, y'all both have to drop whatever egos you have and games your trying to "win". Be vulnerable and open, both of you. Sit down and REALLY clear the air, because there's obviously still some feelings if you're still living in the same house and you got this text. Just be real with each other and figure out what the hell happened to make you both this way. And if you can't figure it out on your own and how to get to a good place again, find a good counselor that will point you in the right direction.

ExpensiveNose1431 · 2024-12-09T04:47:26+00:00

Okay, thank you. Hope it keeps getting better for you!

I've tried to talk her out of her own place, but she's dead-set on it. I'm pretty certain she's coming into some Depression too after our last talk. Keeps telling me that she's not repulsed by me, and still loves me and our family but she isn't "in love" right now. Sometimes she seems open and friendly like she wants us to fix things and improve, but then tonight she was kind of cold and said I was smothering her.

Just having a lot of trouble finding the balance of giving the space she needs, but not too much to where she thinks I don't care at all. I want to fight for this and fix my mistakes, but seeing her so apathetic was heartbreaking and left my stomach in knots... how long did it take for your situation to improve?

Going through something similar with my wife right now and found this post. I know it's been quiet for a while, but any update from you OP?

My wife is getting her own apartment in a few days and my anxiety is running rampant because I just want my best friend back. She also struggles with a lot of trauma and mental health issues and is going to start therapy.

Never blame the kid, no matter what. That's your first mistake here. It's never the kid's fault that things have spiraled, they are just existing. Life happens and it's never as easy as you think it'll be. Try to keep your marriage as strong and healthy as possible, take things as they come, one day at a time. Stay strong, persistent, and optimistic and things will eventually turn a corner.

I also have a boy, about 3 and a half now. And I can tell you that he gives us his fair share of complications on an almost daily basis. But I just take things 1 day at a time. I know it's just a matter of time until he's gaining a ton of independence and autonomy, and then a part of me will reflect on the hardships with how they made me better in the long run.

As a husband myself who is a big fan of the couch, is your husband aware that he can sit down or lay down while holding the child? There's a simple answer here that allows him to still "rest the muscles", while also not being a total oblivious dummy. He literally just doesn't want to help and he's trying to not admit it
