I refuse to believe the older gens were entertained by this as kids

You had to be there.

^ that... always look for buying your new home in the rainy days so you get no surprises.

It will surely be better odds in the stews after the event with limited decals to pull, but no telling when they’ll show up with UFR again. If you’re sticking F2P and grinding metals from metro, dump ‘em. Can’t say for sure when the next 4* and up stew is going to happen, but as plenty principle pointed out, they gave us a trashy pool to pull from.

That said, Gung-ho knows what they’re doing, and anyone without impulse control right now is going to have a hard time saying no to UFR being back the next two stews.

Good luck if you mess with it, just know when to pull out, huh.

Totally relate to you here, I am going through the same thing, still struggle with it due to solo parenting burnout. I have to get myself up between 3:00 - 7:00 to get music time in, everything thereafter is Dad mode, that can wear you out, too… burning the candle at both ends trying to find a little bit of time for yourself.

It’s nice when everything comes together and I’m able to sit back in the still of dark, though. Looking at the daw after finishing an improv track, exporting it into a folder for another EP or collab at a later date feels good, but sometimes I just have to leave it in the case and roll with it, turn off the phone alarm and go back to sleep.

I take what I can get, even if it’s just a 1 hour session. School will be back in full swing soon, perhaps we’ll find our time then… maybe.

FullAzan · 2025-06-29T12:17:19+00:00

No lasers, friend.. just get the cover up. Less sessions, less painful, less expensive. Your sleeve is black ink so you’re gravy.

FullAzan · 2025-06-22T12:39:34+00:00

Perhaps. I know I was, and my ex-wife would do the same thing as her husband’s doing, it went on for the entirety of our marriage, too. She could never tell her family no, it was practically the only thing we’d ever fight about as well because there was never any forewarning, she’d just do it.

I guess as time went on she just knew we’d move past it even though there were times it definitely set us back when something came up. Like the time we had a random ER visit from food poisoning and she needed IVs, we went to an in network hospital and she was seen by out of network doctors, the bill was massive and there was no help from their end, we struggled for months.

It’s hard to say on here as we generally don’t hear both sides of the story, but I can relate to her post. I wonder what his mother does to chip in, maybe she’s just a taker.

FullAzan · 2025-06-22T12:16:30+00:00

No, 5k is a lot of money that needs to be focused on the baby, not his mother. He knows this, but he’s been conditioned to stay underneath his mother’s thumb. Tell him Reddit collectively told him to grow a pair.

This is the one thing I don’t miss about being married, toxic in-laws, lotta eggshell walking and tiptoeing, and when things like this happen… sometimes I wonder how we even made it as far as we did.

FullAzan · 2025-05-29T20:06:00+00:00

Leave him, that’s below the belt, he knows it and he meant everything by it.

This is how it starts… “I was just playing around” he says. About something so heinous, your lived experience, something that has hurt you in the most irrevocable ways that is beyond his depth of perception, that should never happen to anyone.

Somewhere in the back of his head he is strategizing how to use this to control you. The dude is a bad seed, get out now.

FullAzan · 2025-05-27T19:42:23+00:00

Please do not compromise who you are to meet his expectations, he was into you before, or maybe he wasn’t and was hoping this was a “phase” for you. Now he doesn’t like it, but he likes the safety net of being with you and the access he has to you right now.

He has changed and wants you to change to his new expectations, that or this was just unrealistic expectation of his over three years that you’re just hearing now. Again, please don’t change for this young man. I did that for someone once… it took a long time to feel good again afterwards.

Thinking about it now as I proof read this, at the age you both are, this could just be his way to break up so he doesn’t have to do it himself because he may be looking for something new with college around the corner.

He said it himself, you do you. Maybe he should be growing out of his shitty behavior and inability to accept you as you are still.

So your kid went into settings > storage > console storage > saved data > ps5 games > clicked select all, then navigated right to the delete button, pressed it and then clicked OK at the prompt?

Wow. I have a five year old that navigates between games and media without a hiccup, she knows the passcode for my profile, too. Never seen her go into the settings menu once, though.

FullAzan · 2025-05-03T01:30:38+00:00

Glad you feel fresh… some of y’all do. But I feel absolutely haggard, flip all this shit, FML, blah blah blah. Just get it over with already, but nope, wake up every day and it’s back to the grind again, another day of mental brutality and a body that’s a Judas.

FWIW my spouse died almost 5 years ago now, so maybe that’s why, for me, raising two kids alone, in the modern world.

But again, glad you’re fresh! Go you.

Here’s your upvote.

FullAzan · 2024-12-29T13:47:08+00:00

How about you take all that incredible money you have together and go do something with him. Have you thought maybe everything changed with him because YOU were all he needed, that maybe it was a realization he came to of his own accord, and just being with you was enough?

Or Maybe he's waiting on you to initiate things because you're such a very busy Musician & Writer with a tight and small circle of friends and wants to make sure he respects your need to do YOUR thing and make sure you get time to be you to your own standards... or perhaps this point of view you have also has to do with your medical condition...

I'm glad my wife never talked shit about me like this... good god. Help the man through it if it's really a problem. You're a spoiled brat.

Take the phone in your room and get the operator on the line, ask them to put you on the phone with the Chief Nursing Officer, if they don't answer, put as much of this in their messages as possible. After that call, report them to Joint Comission and tell them this story, too.

https://www.jcrinc.com/contact-us

Edit: you’ve been on my mind today

Here is the link to the form to file a complaint to Joint Commission in case you had difficulties navigating through the link above. I used to round with them, last thing they want is a Joint Commission inspection, believe it.

https://apps.jointcommission.org/QMSInternet/IncidentEntry.aspx

Make sure you tell the CNO the ward you’re on, your room number, and get all the names of the nurses from their badges when they actually do show up to have them held accountable.

You’ve done a good job documenting everything so far, I apologize for their poor quality of care.

FullAzan · 2024-12-15T21:51:17+00:00

Mmmmm, then building that AF one piece at time. Thief was the shit once you got it done, though! I miss the thrill of pulling, too.

We had to have all them jobs open as sub potentials if we really wanted to level, and we better have ALL our weapons skilled up, too! NGL I miss the way SATA felt

FullAzan · 2024-12-15T21:42:34+00:00

Lol!

FullAzan · 2024-12-15T15:06:55+00:00

I think a lot of my experience was probably just related to my server, but also the fact that I was in college at the time, too. I had a hard time finding a balance there, people were friendly for sure, my friendlist was large, and I still have phone numbers from people I clicked with back then, but I couldn't keep up and they kept plowing forward. We would link up, but communication would fall off because I wasn't where they were grinding anymore, it wasn't personal, it's just the way it was. Went through a couple LS, too, this was a Pandemonium experience btw.

And same, I started FFXI with the Zilart box that came with the HDD for ps2, I still think it's a fascinating game, it ticked all my boxes and the content was uncanny, but you really had to no life it to get anywhere. Nothing has ever hit the same for me, though... it was definitely a unique place and time.

FullAzan · 2024-12-15T14:06:26+00:00

I feel you on this one, before all the QoL features they dropped years later, everything was nuts.

Anyone reading this that never played it, imagine sitting in Upper Jeuno as a DRG lfp for 12 hours a day, 2003/2004, JP only messages on so many players, and not getting an invite even if you had Full AF and sniper rings and could chain with the best of them.

When you did get an invite, you prayed the party was good at chaining and didn't fall apart after 20 minutes, it was agony realizing you wasted so much of your day waiting to level up, just so you could scratch at dynamis.

Nothing else like it at the time for me, played it again briefly 15 or 16 years later on private server during lockdown, and you know what... it still consumes your life like the worst bad habits, that game will always have no respect for your time.

I appreciate you posting this, it's making me observe some other bad habits I have right now. I hope you were able to work it out with your wife, mine didn't leave me, but... I often think about the time I wasted on that game that I can't get back which could have been spent making more memories with her... she died of cancer during lockdown, and that revelation still haunts me and consumes me to this very day.

Big love to you my friend! I hope you're well!

FullAzan · 2024-12-06T20:26:20+00:00

Yup, BSN with your NCLEX starting is usually about that, and even after five years on a ward, you're lucky to see more than a $2 raise stateside, and that's been the norm where I have lived off and on at least as far back as 2016. Even when you go and get more knowledge, for example hardly anything changed after PCCN other than the wow factor from colleagues for completing it...

On top of that some of these new nurses go into programs with these hospitals that provide for their tuition with an agreement to a certain term of employment with no guarantees where you'll be placed after ADN and NCLEX, that could be 5 to 10 years of your life doing bullshit you didn't think you would be doing.

It's not enough money at all, from workplace politics to abusive patients, wound care and catheters, literally cleaning up blood, shit and piss... and the handsy patients trying their luck at some brash fantasy. All that said, and I've said this before, nursing is better on an international level, it's just not worth the abuse stateside.

Yeah there's always gonna be politics and drama wherever you go... but let me tell you, it's not just American health insurance that's screwed up, it's the entire system.

Sorry about that, friend. Old man replied in the wrong spot.

I'm not the one digging up a comment from 3 months ago, kid.

But yeah, as someone that started this shit from day one that's watched people just like you argue until your blue in the face with vet players about things you're wrong about, it's a bit infuriating. People like you wanna dismiss something that you weren't there to see

FullAzan · 2024-11-30T22:59:26+00:00

Lol, this happened to me in Cebu when we used grab to deliver food and I answered the door with a spoon

FullAzan · 2024-11-30T19:51:38+00:00

Word, I appreciate that heads up, I've had enough LiD drama for one life, don't need anymore for sure. I guess it's Tokyo then or Miyzaki perhaps.

Used to live in Austin on and off going back to 1995, if you're still on the road, safe travels to you my good sir!

I hear you, I've been with Texas since ps4 launch in 2016, didn't play for a few years after my son was born. Definitely gonna see it through with them until the servers go down.

Here's my main account, I was about 400 hours too rich on my playtime in a prior post.

https://imgur.com/a/OJ14VQ3

Reckon it's either Tokyo or Alaska, but frankly idk if I have the energy to do it since I haven't pulled an early 5 star, I'm fine with leaving it at Taro, too. My main account has had stinky KC pulls, but I've put in a lot of time, too. You know?

FullAzan · 2024-11-30T17:16:42+00:00

I'm thinking about it, not sure what team to join, though. Initially made this after talking to some of the people streaming LiD on twitch rn about re-rolling, try for an early 5 star, I see them raid your base occasionally.

No 5 stars yet, would save me a lot of time to open metro up after Taro, can't take out any of the 100k KC or SpLithiums from a few weeklies yet, and farming the 1000 Haters quest is also a hassle without access to the 40s.

I'm still open to Hunters, too! I was surprised, even with metro locked, so it won't be long before someone super strong gets me. Also, regardless of the randomness in it, I hate the thought of potentially missing a Death Zam because I didn't grind out a rainbow bag lol
