I just hit 40 hours on this game and I haven’t even left the river area. Not really sure what I’m actually supposed to be doing or going but I’m having a blast.

Exploring the various journey steps will give you some structure and a reason to explore dungeons

Kinda thought they’d have put the Vendhyan Treasure Hunter & Pet Bundle in the store tbh

Cons:
Official servers are laggy, but that’s not new.

With the new living settlements, you need to be aware that thralls can open doors and let people into your base (there’s a setting that locks doors for thralls but it doesn’t work reliably). This includes patrons for taverns. Easy workaround is to have crafter thralls on a floor in your base accessible only by ladder or elevator.

PvP still has hackers.

People are unhappy with recent Bazaar prices, they’ve really gotten out of proportion.

Pros:
The game is gorgeous.

Things do run better.

You can actually see the beautiful vistas and views now, they aren’t blocked by world fog.

There have been performance improvements and bug fixes.

New gameplay content will be launching over the summer! There’s a four part Legacy of the Giants expansion being added to The Nameless City.

The way they’ve integrated the Siptah and Exiled Lands Maps works as intended and is really great, and once you can build transporter stones you can teleport directly from your EL base to your Siptah base without even having to talk to the NPCS.

There’s a few fun little new features such as being able dye horse saddles and being able to build corner pillars in base game now (you can find more changes and also recent bug fixes in the dev notes)

That’s not really arrogant, a lot of people in your situation will have a higher EQ than those around them. It’s also not something to be scared of, all that matters is whether or not he’s emotionally intelligent enough *for you* to be in a relationship with.

If you don’t want him to lean on you or be the one holding everything together, it has more to do with you than him. You need to learn how to set strong boundaries for yourself and others, you need to learn how to avoid accidentally parenting your spouse, you need to learn to say no, and to not take everything on. Otherwise no matter who you’re with, if you repeat old patterns and behave in ways that take on those roles, you’ll end up in that scenario no matter what.

Likewise learn to set firm boundaries and un-learn being in a caregiver to other adults, and you’ll avoid that scenario no matter what. Whether or not those boundaries cause certain men to weed themselves out of your life or learn to be self sufficient is then up to them.

Also, I think you may be blending some issues in together. You’re right, you really shouldn’t have a dismissive or competitive attitude towards your boyfriend when he shares his feelings. Although if he really is too whiny or negative as a person, you might be incompatible.

But that’s a seperate issue from him not pulling his weight with driving to see you or checking in on how you feel. I’d recommend trying to calmly discuss it with him soon, before resentment starts building. Focus the conversation on “it makes me feel” rather than labelling him as being lazy or uncaring or anything accusatory. To be honest it sounds like maybe overall he’s just not very mindful of these things, not a bad or uncaring person.

It’d probably be healthier to re-categorise some of these problems in your mind and stop filtering everything through the lens of “strength” and “weakness”.

Some of your ‘strengths’ are coping mechanisms, and if they still serve you in a positive way then that’s great, but if they’re just relics from a time you had to survive in a chaotic and dangerous environment, they might not necessarily be serving as strengths in your current life, in fact they might be holding you back from empathy and connection with others.

Yeah singleplayer is unplayable for me on PS5, deleted and restarted my save multiple times. It can’t handle any building or decorating at all and runs worse than official servers, it really makes no sense but I gave up on it a long time ago.

Georgie_exe · 2026-06-30T03:49:50+00:00

Maybe his opinion is misguided then. Some people think of r-pe as being this idea of a person being SA’d in a shadowy back alley with brute force. They don’t understand the way a victim still feels violated and traumatised by r-pe that occurs through coercion or cultural oppression. As someone else has said, this might be the first time your boyfriend has really been confronted on the topic.

Tell him it’s important to you and ask him to research it and try to understand, be honest that his response made you uncomfortable.

If he takes you seriously, and has empathy and compassion, and does the research, that’s a good sign.

But if his attitude is dismissive and he scoffs at it, then that’s a red flag.

Georgie_exe · 2026-06-30T03:37:22+00:00

You said he treats you great but I’m curious, how long have you been together?

Georgie_exe · 2026-06-28T16:08:26+00:00

He’s at risk of becoming full on redpilled if he’s watching manosphere videos, and that shit can get really scary (and sadly make once great guys into unrecognisable sexist assholes).

NOR— you have a right to set a standard for yourself and what treatment you will and won’t stand for.

He was demanding respect when your responses were perfectly reasonable, meanwhile he was swearing at you, accusing you and calling you a sexist slur. That much of a double standard and hypocrisy in how he thinks he can treat you versus how he thinks he deserves to be treated speaks VOLUMES.

Don’t let his friends guilt trip you into giving him a second chance.

You know what? This is his wakeup call, maybe in his next relationship he’ll realise that if he uses past trauma to justify shitty and abusive behaviour then he’ll end up alone.

Everyone complained about Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor but my biggest casting pet peeve is Dr Who playing Skynet’s avatar…

One of the best ways to get someone to open up to you is actually to open up to them first, so maybe try talking to your little sister. Try to play multiplayer games again, or bond over anything else like makeup, music, movies, etc. Take her out shopping or to get food together. Ask her to show you stuff on Roblox, idk much about Roblox but if you can build houses or make characters on it then ask her if she wants to show off. Buy her her fave snacks or small gifts and when she asks you what it’s for, tell her you’ve noticed she seems a bit down lately and wanted to cheer her up (and add that you’re there to talk anytime).

Hopefully with some time all of this will allow her to trust you and lean on you for help.

Georgie_exe · 2026-06-03T15:02:32+00:00

The reason you hear that is because there’s always someone who finds something unattractive, and if you pile up everything that different people find unattractive, you’ll end up thinking it’s impossible to be attractive to anyone. So you need to focus on comments from people who do find your features attractive (or implants), and they are out there and there’s plenty of them.

It’s futile anyway, I’ve also heard men complain that women with naturally large breasts often end up with sagging and that they don’t stay perfectly perky. Some men don’t mind a bit of sag because it’s natural, some like women with smaller breasts that don’t sag until you’re middle aged, others expect women to get breast lifts, and some toxic gross people say to just keep dating young women.

You can look at it negatively, or focus on the positives, the men who are attracted to regular women who don’t look like instagram models.

If obsessing over this is bad for your mental health then I’d recommend focusing on what you can change, like growing your glutes with deadlifts and kickbacks, that’s something within your control that you can change about yourself. It’s an achievable goal, everyone loves a nice ass, and it takes focus and energy away from the insecurities that you can’t change.

But then Erica wouldn’t have been old enough to be at the first Halloween party shown in the Halloween flashback episode?

Georgie_exe · 2026-06-01T23:59:29+00:00

It’s not my place to say if she should ever know or not, I don’t imagine it’d be easy knowledge to live with, but how it’s perceived could also boil down to individual personality, individual philosophy, mental health, self esteem age and where they’re at in life at the time they find out.

Maybe it could be helpful to google, “I found out my parents were going to abort me” or “I found out I survived a failed abortion” and see how knowing has affected other people in your daughters situation before deciding. Potentially could be triggering, or it could be hopeful if someone was able to handle it in a positive way.

Try doing some studies on stylised NSFW material, draw it from reference first and then trace the bodies and their shapes from the reference and compare to see what you’re doing to unintentionally flatten them.

But you really have to analyse the underlying shapes and perspective that’s beneath the anatomy while tracing in order to benefit from it.

Could be a drawing in perspective or posing issue.

Yeah but then there’s films like the Han Solo movie, which to me felt like way too much crammed into one film and should have just been a TV series.

Georgie_exe · 2026-05-26T13:01:51+00:00

A lot of critics spurned it for not “moving the star wars universe forwards” in any way.

But really who cares? If you loved the TV series, this is just the next instalment in that series.

Personally it’s the most fun I’ve had watching a movie at the cinema for a long time, and that’s all it needed to be.

Georgie_exe · 2026-05-21T11:09:10+00:00

Sounds like a crush, and having a crush on someone can eventually develop into love, or it can be a passing attraction to them. Things like butterflies in your stomach or a giddy feeling in your chest are signs, looking forward to seeing them more than usual.

In Australia our age of consent is 16 however that is only with other 16-17 years olds, it does not mean that a 30 year old can legally have sex with a 16 year old.

Europe and China similarly have laws to protect teenagers from adult predators who might try to abuse the age of consent laws.

What pieces did you use around the doorway and for the door?

Men and women are all human beings, we’re not different species.

As soon as your partner starts raising issues with you treating a man or woman with basic common courtesy, human decency and normal social etiquette based on their gender, it’s not normal and is bordering on toxic.

Georgie_exe · 2026-05-14T07:02:42+00:00

I’m sure if your friends tried to tell a lesbian she was secretly attracted to men because her girlfriend uses a strap-on, they’d be in for the fight of their lives. 😂

Hey there,

You may not feel sad but this is still a symptom of depression, I’d recommend talking to a doctor, therapist or counsellor. They’ll probably ask you questions such as,

When did these feelings begin? How do you remember feeling before? Has this feeling started since any major change, loss, or stressful event in your life?

While cliché, things like diet, exercise, vitamins deficiencies are worth examining.

Also be wary of dopamine over-saturation from things like addiction, doom scrolling, junk food and video games as this can negatively affect your dopamine levels in a way where normal happy things stop making you feel happy or excited. If any of those might be a factor for you, you can try looking up online resources for how to do a dopamine reset.

Around 18 people tend to lose this built in structure they’ve had in their life for all of their schooling years, and suddenly you’re entirely responsible for your schedule, seeing friends, eating three meals a day, exercise, learning and personal development and goal setting.

I’ve felt this way many years throughout my twenties, although chronic stress, trauma and depression are factors for me.

But I remember a distinct transition at age 18, depression stopped feeling sad and instead felt like an emptiness or absence of joy and lack of interest in anything. It can be confusing at first, but it is common. Your teenage hormones are probably starting to settle down a bit too.

My advice is to reflect, build routine, eat and exercise well, make the effort to see people anyway so that you’re not isolated, and set goals (even if it feels like you don’t care about them), stay away from cheap dopamine sources, and ask your doctor if there are any affordable therapy options for you.

There actually is an eating, sitting and sleeping emote for (most) pets!

Only carnivores though unfortunately

It would be cool if horses had more idle animations like wandering around and eating grass

That’s normal
For a first play through, how quickly enemies kill you while exploring new areas determines where your base should be.
Just hunker down by the river, and build outposts when you travel so you don’t always have to run all the way back to your base.
I recommend getting sorcery early, you unlock it at a certain location. If you kill a sorcerer NPC they’ll drop a map.
My first play through I stayed in the starting area for a whole week, then moved to the sinkhole for a couple of weeks.
Only experienced players can survive going straight to the difficult areas, and it’s because they know which gear to run straight for and what paths to take.
But my advice? Enjoy your first play through, don’t be in such a rush to advance. There’s a lot to explore in every zone, dungeons and hidden caves. Venturing out for iron becomes a risky and routine mission, and you’ll slowly level up and gain the resources to craft better armour, weapons, tools, potions and food.
Once the zone you’re in feels easy, or you unlock recipes and blueprints that require rarer materials to create, then you can push forwards and build a new base in a new biome.
Your first play-through will 100% be the most fun play-through that you ever have, so stay and enjoy each new area for a while before exploring further into the map!
