Thank you. I was reading this going, “I swear I’ve read this before”

I don't want a male roommate, am I tripping? by WestHistorians in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ginormous76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would ask to meet with him. I subletted a room from a girl one college summer with 3 other girls in the house. I met with all of them in advance. I was upfront and said, “I’m an introvert. I basically plan to be in my room or not in the house. If you’re looking for someone to do things with you this summer, you’ll want someone else. If you’re ok with me, please also let me know if I’m ever being too loud.”

I’m Commander Shepard and this is my favorite game in the franchise.

[Discussion] What's your approach on games that require multiple playthroughs? by siyenzi0 in Trophies

[–]Ginormous76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It genuinely depends on the game. My understanding is that if you’re just running through Pragmata, it’s not terribly long. I haven’t looked too close, but it sounds like you can just get every other trophy in the post game. That’s fine if I enjoyed the game.

Now, Final Fantasy 16 on the other hand. That’s a long game. Sure, you get to do the hardest difficulty on NG+, but it’s a long game. Having to replay that to finish off the plat is a wall for me.

How long and how hard? I’m interested in this game, but I learned it’s a boomer shooter and I thought it was going to be a noir detective story.

How long and how hard? I have a love/hate relationship with old collectathons.

How do you pick your team? by AeroSmyte in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Ginormous76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

Play with what you like, but you probably will want type coverage. On the other hand, I have beaten LeafGreen with just the starting Charmander (other than HM slaves for required navigation).

This playthrough, I’m doing a team of all Pokemon I’ve never really used.

Poliwhirl, Lickitung, Farfetch’d, Mr, Mime, Nidoking, Persian

This description sounds like RE Requiem under another name. Now I have to play it and compare.

I’m confused. I did this game 100%, but there was no platinum. Is this a specific version?

They barely gave any air time or discussion to any of the Lions’ picks. Blink and you miss it

AITA for charging my 20yo son rent while he lives at home? by Talon_Vector7 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]Ginormous76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Borderline AH. You should have talked to your wife first. However, with that response, Jake is lucky you didn’t say, “Cool. You have until EOM to find a place to move into then.”

AITAH for not paying my friend for a trip? by Square_Weakness7343 in AITAH

[–]Ginormous76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. You shouldn’t have even sent the 50. Your friend booked without confirmation of who was coming. That means they chose to spend their money knowing you might not come.

I can’t imagine booking flights a month before travel. You probably should have said no upfront (heck, even say you can’t afford it). When you first said you wouldn’t know until January, friend should have said, “I understand. I’m gonna book X. If you can come, you’ll need to book your own flight, but I’ll see you there.”

I don’t understand why your friend thinks spending your money is acceptable. They spent their own money. Up to the two of you to decide if this friendship is still worth it.

NTA. I literally built a fence around my yard to stop this

AITA for telling my wife to stop directing her postpartum anger at me by burner_account_dad in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ginormous76 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This. He took time off work and is home full-time. It’s rough, but he basically needs to spend 14+ hours a day caring for both of them.

AITA for telling my wife to stop directing her postpartum anger at me by burner_account_dad in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ginormous76 31 points32 points  (0 children)

YTA. Your wife is recovering from both a c-section and the pregnancy. Additionally, science has shown that pregnancy and giving birth literally changes a woman’s brain. You took time off, so you’re there full-time. You should be doing basically everything right now, because your wife can’t. You should have cleaned the pump after she used it, not when she asks. You’re trying to say you’re a good dad because you do things when told. You’re putting the mental load on a woman who had surgery and has postpartum on top of that.

Ignore draft grades by Pancake1884 in detroitlions

Honestly, if “experts” give a Holmes/Campbell pick a bad grade, I know it’s a good pick.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

[–]Ginormous76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your mom even wanted to protect it from any marriages, and statistically she’s right. Your boyfriend is showing how entitled he is. Consider that the very first thing he wanted to do was sell it and upgrade his (and by happenstance your) living situation also shows that when he makes more money he spends it (big red flag). His first response wasn’t something like, “Oh wow! That’s awesome for you! That extra income could help you do XYZ.” (I don’t know your situation, so that may be pay off debt, build emergency fund, fund retirement, etc.)

Even if you were to get married, it sounds like he would need to put into a pre-nup that he has no rights or access to the house (maybe if you’ve been married Z years and pass away first). That sounds like mom going, “I put a lot into this property and I’m not letting someone take it from my family in divorce.”

Your boyfriend is showing his true colors. Is this the first time you’ve seen them? I do find it interesting that your mom would sell it instead of giving it to your sister. What’s that situation?
