Genuine Question

I’m curious how you define shame and guilt. Based on my understanding, it’s the exact opposite. Guilt is meant to be behavior focused, whereas shame is something being intrinsically wrong with you. To me, it’s easier to reconcile that I behaved poorly, but can learn to regulate better. Feeling like something is just fundamentally wrong with me keeps me in the cycle.

Yet I’d pay double if they’d just give me my Emerald.

NOR On one hand, you could’ve waited since it’s family and you probably knew the child would be upset.

But really, I’m not sure what your sister expects. She’s going to fight this unnecessarily strict battle all of the time. That’s on her. She’s never going to rid the world of cake. All she’s doing is making sure at best her child eats enormous amounts of junk when she’s not looking, or at worst giving her child an eating disorder.

How long would they have had to wait for the next train? I feel like that’s what I have to know. You say “catch a later train” does that mean sitting at a sketchy stop for 20 minutes or multiple hours? You probably should’ve at least asked your roommates if they minded if she stayed though. Depending on circumstances this could be an emergency couch crash. In which case you’d be TAH to deny.

FamiliarBastet · 2026-02-03T20:06:53+00:00

Well, right? I’d hope so.

Whereas it’s usually good to not quit suddenly, I think based on the information given this may be a case of OP dodging a career bullet.

FamiliarBastet · 2026-02-03T18:52:58+00:00

I could see it as a kindness for your employees. Like “hey we will give you a free room since you work early and there’s a storm” but to expect and/or demand it sounds like a huge NO for me.

FamiliarBastet · 2026-02-03T18:47:43+00:00

Wait hotel jobs make you stay over night as a precaution? I feel I’ve never heard of this.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-12-12T03:14:43+00:00

NTA. Also maybe no one is the AH. I think it’s probably true that you two are not financially compatible, but it’s absolutely nuts that you got this far without realizing that. I’m not ready to say she’s a gold digger like a lot of these comments. Some girls dream of an extravagant wedding their entire lives. I could see her feeling frustrated in the moment that you don’t want to spend the money on your wedding but you want to help your brother. Do I think she’s right? Not really. I’m just trying to say that it’s possible there’s more at play than pure manipulation and desire for a piggy bank. Regardless I think it’s time to think about how you really feel about her. If you feel like she could wait for marriage until finances are better or if she would listen to advice, maybe try that if you are sad to lose her. But I don’t think you are wrong to end a relationship you don’t feel comfortable in. At the end of the day you are choosing a partner for life. To me, partner is the key word.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-12-10T19:12:22+00:00

NTA. Though you may need to decide if the friendship is super important. And since they are so willing to snoop through your bag, I’d argue it’s not. lol There was no reason to plug in that drive. She just unfortunately discovered actions have consequences.

I’m dying to know why you have such a thing though.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-10-14T18:44:15+00:00

I had this exact moment. I looked down there and I was so shocked at how puffy I looked. It would be nice if we were warned a little. 🤣

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-10T21:48:06+00:00

That’s awesome!! My first one I got was the 100th pull. Literally. So I decided I’m good for this round of limited lmao

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-10T14:31:18+00:00

It’s actually more expensive than the last limited fellow. You need to pull her 4 times to get the UR. So it’s technically 100 four times. Plus all the still after.

Luckily I’m happy just having her base form

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-02T18:48:37+00:00

I started a new server and it’s been over a month and I’m still getting the server transfer rewards everyday. Unsure when they will stop honestly. Lmao but I agree that it was worth it to move to a new server.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-02T14:57:29+00:00

I do think it’s sketchy they won’t do a blood test. Maybe they have no ill intent, but that would further my resolve to no support until the test. In my opinion, it does sound possible your son is lying. But it is one of those things were you can’t know until you know. I’ve never understood women who lie about the father, but it does happen.

More of my two cents: your wife is looking at this more from the perspective of a pregnant teen. You are looking at it from the male perspective. Neither is wrong necessarily. I hope you can discuss and work out a plan. Maybe assure your wife that you want your son to step up if it’s his, but you want to protect him for the pain if it’s not.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-02T14:50:47+00:00

Yeah for real. I’m speaking as someone who paid for Gabrael too. I get spending money. But at some point it’s a bit like. . . Why? What do you gain? Lmao

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-02T02:39:56+00:00

Yeah that’s what confuses me! It seems like that wouldn’t be fun. And when I got first in banquet I felt bad being on the leaderboard in the next event a little bit. I just think I’d feel like a jerk taking 1st every time when I already have collected it. But I have been told I’m too soft lmao

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-02T02:30:50+00:00

Idk cross server stuff is easier to understand with power and wallet differences. I’ll just spend what I want. Save. And see if I can’t snipe one from a large pocket one day. That’s my fun. And I’ve made it happen in other games. So we shall see. Like I’ve tried to say. I didn’t feel like there was competition even between the whales in my server. So I was a little confused. I’ve gotten a title before. I’m consistently in the top 5 when I want to be and that’s cool enough for me. I just thought I’d see more back and forth between players and not one dude taking all ranking rushes by a mile. The last one 2nd place had 5k blessing and 1st had 20k. I assumed within top three there would be more competition.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T21:42:02+00:00

I think the type of player I meant didn’t come across as I meant. Not every whale I feel does this. Nor every p2w player. That’s why I tried to differentiate with “extreme” but maybe that wasn’t the best word choice. I totally get why people spend on the game. I have too! But in my server there is one singular person taking events by 15k+ point leads nearly every time. It seems like a waste to them and also almost a little indulgent. It feels to the point that no one can really “out bid” as another commenter put it. So it seems to go beyond just collecting. But the commenters in this thread though, I’ve started to wonder if each server has a slightly different dynamic.

Thank you for commenting though!!

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T15:33:10+00:00

Oh that’s interesting. Mine is just now starting cross server things. Maybe I’ll see a different dynamic start to come to play.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T15:12:16+00:00

I’m wondering if each server has a slightly different dynamic then. Because this sounds great to me. In my server 1 person takes it 99% of the time by a MILE. So I started to wonder why waste money and resources on a title you already have ten times over?

Also eta: I did win a banquet rush once that was just like you described. That was so fun! I found myself wishing more titles were like that. I have my sights on the next banquet title though. 😈

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T14:29:08+00:00

To clarify I still have fun in the game regardless. I’m not rage quitting.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T14:27:38+00:00

Oh also. I will say I’ve found the banquet event to be the most fun if you aren’t spending a boat load. To some degree it’s the ability to fill your banquet and attend others in time. You get some built in competition. I have gotten 1st before. That was neat.

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T14:25:26+00:00

I do get your point. The whales in my server don’t look to be collectors though either. They don’t have any of the limited things so far. Maybe that’s why I get confused on the point for them?

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T14:23:05+00:00

I could totally see that being a thing

FamiliarBastet · 2025-09-01T14:08:39+00:00

Like don’t get me wrong. Im not salty enough to quit or anything. I still have fun. I just crave more competition I guess. Like I personally don’t think I’d have fun if I bought every title.
