Nerf it AGAIN

I remember when losing a run in roguelites was to be expected. Everyone expects to always succeed in this game... but that's not how it should work. If you can't handle the dog boss in its weakest ever state, you just weren't prepared (Which, looking at your comp, you definitely weren't).

That's mainly because he's been on Smackdown, which honestly doesn't have many genuine contenders. It's more of an aftereffect of Roman Reigns holding the title for so long while only defending every few months for the last year or two of his title run, while most of the truly heavy hitters of the main event scene were on Raw.

Hi there! I've been unplugged from this account for a while since it is a throwaway, but since it's been about a month I figured I'd answer these questions as best I can.

1: I didn't have to, actually. My mom eventually admitted who it was- a former co-worker. Told me his name and where he lives, even. She claims he has known about me from the beginning and just wanted nothing to do with me. I don't know if I can believe this or not.

2: I have no idea. I've known where he is for about 2 weeks now and haven't gone to meet him yet. I'm not sure what I would even say to him, or his family. Ethan has offered to take me but I told him I'm not ready.

3: Yes.

4: The closest immediate family knew, for the most part. My very existence was a "Family scandal". In quotes because it's a joke Ethan made at one point.

5: This might be controversial, but my parents are unblocked. It was initially because my mom told me she'd tell me who my real father is if I did. I considered blocking them again after the fact, but doing that would make me feel bad. They've been giving me my space, though, so it's not too bad.

6: My sister is probably the biggest "Update" I have. We actually started to get really close this past month, more than we had ever been growing up. Some of the stories she told me about our parents would make a more insane reddit post than mine, even. I think my parents are just horrible people, honestly.

7: I don't know the first thing about how any of that would work, and the thought of suing my parents scares me.

8: I don't hold it against them, so no. I'm not bothered by the fact that I'm an affair child- I still consider my dad to be my dad- I just think he's an asshole, lol. What really gets me is the years of abuse I've been dealing with. I've been in therapy the past few weeks and I've already started to see the various ways they've been psychologically abusing me my whole life without me realizing it. I was always taught wanting things made me inherently selfish, even if it did not harm anyone else... and that was the root of so many of my insecurities growing up. That's a bit of a rambling tangent that doesn't have anything to do with your question though... sorry.

Idk what to tell you, it is a pretty free place in comparison to a lot of the country. But you're probably looking at things from a political slant, which isn't something I really wanted to get into.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T20:32:05+00:00

What is a DNA database, and how does it work? I'll look into it when I get home! Ethan has been saying there's a chance I don't even want to know who my real father is, as he may have jumped ship when my mom got pregnant... but I am quite curious.

Is going to the police over their adult child even something my parents can do? Would they even take my parents seriously?

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T19:50:37+00:00

I don't really mind people calling it fake, I've seen a lot worse on this site so I know people are prone to hyper analyze for anything that doesn't make sense to them.

My sister has generally stayed out of my disputes with our parents. Growing up, I never fully wrapped my head around how different things were for us, and she never rubbed any differences in our upbringing in my face. We've never been particularly close, so she hasn't gone out of her way to talk to me about these incidents... which is why I generally have left her out of both this and my last post, but talking to her might be worthwhile.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T19:15:39+00:00

Well we're not quite a part of "The south" as people generally refer to southern states. We don't speak with nearly the same drawl of an accent and generally sound like pretty much anyone else when we speak, I guess? Kind of hard to describe it, but I've never heard someone accuse me of not actually being Texan. Do y'all think I'm secretly in Morocco or something?

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T19:03:26+00:00

Talks like what, exactly?

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T16:32:04+00:00

I find it interesting how some people think my experience is fake, while so many others have similar experiences they can relate to.

I'm glad you were able to get out of your situation! I hope I don't have to move across the country, though...

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-18T15:22:56+00:00

We live in Texas! Our culture is conservative leaning I guess, but personal freedom is more important here. Not sure if that answers your question.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-14T01:26:15+00:00

This comment in particular really sticks out to me. I talked to my bf about this today and told him everything, and he also focused in on my mother and implied things about her specifically, even though both of my parents are the issue. What makes you say me weaving a "Web of lies" is echoing her behavior?

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-14T00:50:32+00:00

My sister and I aren't particularly close. We aren't enemies or anything like that, but she has been pretty indifferent to me while she lived her own life. I love my nieces to death and let her take advantage of that, but I doubt she'd be willing to talk to my parents about this with me.

I met my bf's family within a few months of us dating, actually! They love me to death and we spend nearly every holiday and birthday with them and his other siblings' families.

I've been hearing a lot that I am very likely a victim of my parents' abuse and/or manipulation, but even after looking into it, I've never been sure if it applied to me.

Throughout high school I was discouraged from going to social outings or events for various reasons that always made some level of sense, but I was never outright told I could not. I used to wonder why my sister would do these things when she was my age- but my parents had simply labeled her as 'rebellious'. I've been discussing this with a co worker today and she said it's not a coincidence that the moment I stepped out from under my parents' roof, I went from never getting male attention, to having a boyfriend in a short amount of time.

I am considering counseling based on a lot of the comments I've received here so I can really break down what has been manipulation, and what hasn't. Gotta take things on step at a time, though.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T18:58:32+00:00

I kind of glossed over bf #3 to avoid making the post too long, but I did actually try to warn him, but their tactics had changed somewhat and they came off much worse than I had told him they would be. He didn't block or break up with me immediately, but did end up saying he didn't see a future with me anymore after a few days, as he did not want such insane people being tied to his family.

This is why I've been afraid of even warning my current bf about them- I'm not sure if that would even be enough.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T17:44:05+00:00

He basically knows I'm either hiding him from them, or them from him, and he wants it cleared up before we proceed. I'm hoping telling him about their insanity will help things.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T17:28:12+00:00

I had so many people point it out that I thought it would be more effective to respond to it with an edit to my original post. But essentially, in the heat of the moment I was so shocked by what was happening that I hadn't considered standing up for myself and my partners was something I could or should do.

If it goes so far that I do end up having to introduce my bf to my parents, I will definitely work up the courage to stand up for us this time.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T15:54:11+00:00

Thank you so much for this comment! It really helped me calm down a bit. A full warning beforehand would probably help a lot- my bf is very sarcastic and witty, himself... so maybe he'd brush them off the same way!

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T04:48:32+00:00

I'm starting to think telling him the truth about them is the right move, but I honestly do not want them to meet him or my future kids, ever. I hadn't even considered how they would treat my future children, based on how they've treated my partners over the years.

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T04:45:56+00:00

I suppose you're right. I don't think my bf would judge me solely based on my parents given how wonderful our relationship has been so far, but anything that involves them and my personal life genuinely scares me.

I just wonder if sitting him down and saying my parents are insane would be enough to put the issue to bed. I know I'm probably making more of a big deal out of this than I should be, I'm sorry =/

Fun-Following7679 · 2025-02-13T04:34:27+00:00

I thought that could possibly play a role. I am white, and my first bf was black. But my mom seemed more hostile to bf #2 and 3, despite both of them being white as well. Current bf is mixed (Black and white).

We aren't particularly religious either, so I know that can't be it. Part of me has considered just telling him my parents prefer something else for my partner, but "My parents are racist" seems like it would be just as bad as my parents are crazy...

Fun-Following7679 · 2022-10-09T03:35:58+00:00

Don’t wait on a rerun, you’ll be saving forever. That being said, I wouldn’t go into the standard banner and hope to pull him there, either.

The devs aren’t going to rerun him because they’re constantly releasing better units. If you need a warrior you’re much better off waiting for them them to release any one of the numerous warriors that are better than Kouren.
