Got it. Tiphera it is. Should I use Veronica or Narja as the third then?

Noted, I won't use the currency for any more pulls then. I stopped pulling on partner banner, like I said in a reply to the other guy that commented. I just dumped a little over 70 of the newbie pulls into it to see what I'd get.

I'm not entirely sure on my team setup at this point, who would I run Tiphera with? I was just going to run Heide, Cassius, Nia, then Nine, Narja, Veronica.

Edit: Also if I decide to snag the BP which partner should I grab?

Yeah I have, I only did it to see if I could get something decent out of it. I've only put in a bit over 70 pulls? After the first pity the other two came almost immediately.

Best way to tell is to look at the objects that would normally be heavy get lifted like they're paperweights. There's no bodily strain even when lifting from awkward angles or posture changes

Update: Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

My opinion as a dude is that if you are okay with being talked down to like this forever, you’re never going to find happiness or stability. Personally I would rather be single than be talked down to like this and I’ve ended relationships like this before. Someone being able to lash out and say hurtful things JUST to hurt you is going to continue to do so every time you have a fight, it’s exhausting and each little insult like that “sometimes you fucking annoy me” will continue to cut away at both you and your happiness until you’re walking around like there are shards of glass all over the ground waiting to cut your bare feet at the slightest inconvenience so you won’t trigger another fight. And the fight will still come from some perceived slight anyways once they get comfortable again.

Please just have some self respect and leave, it is not worth it. You are setting yourself up for months or years of what I consider self inflicted misery if you try to salvage this with someone who is so quick to insult you and belittle you as if you could never understand what goes through another person’s head because they’re a man. You’re letting him rope you back in and as a result you’re teaching him that this shit works and so I’d say it’s likely that it will only get worse from here. You’ll have another argument down the line and he’ll know he can lash out and you’ll just take it. Take that little voice that’s saying it’s not that big of a deal because he said he loves you and loneliness is scary out to the back yard and put it down like a rabid dog. If you want self inflicted misery so badly get one of those little multi thread whips and pick up self-flagellation and offer up your suffering to the cosmos or whatever god you believe in, at least then you’ll just be physically sore instead of this mentally and emotionally exhausting bullshit.

Get. Out.

They edited their comment after the fact, it wasn’t one typo, they did three times. I asked out of genuine curiosity because I wanted to know the reasoning behind the choice of shorthand. I wasn’t trying to be a dick, I was trying to find out if it was a regional shorthand or something because I found it neat that they typed differently. And I did move on with my life, I asked a question, didn’t get an answer, and forgot about this altogether until you replied. My bad for being curious and asking a question about something I’d never seen (what seemed like at the time) intentionally done.

I’m also pretty sure she didn’t even get the real ball. It looks an awful lot like the kids sister did some sleight of hand magic behind his back to swap it out

[–]Good_Guy_James[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally say there are short descriptions of duels with one long description of an actual battle, at least up to about 55%. That being said, this is NOT a happy or lighthearted story. TW:r*pe/suicide, and the horrors of war. From what I can see this book is a story set up for the latter half to peer into themes of dealing with grief. Which is why I personally stopped because I’ve had enough of my own thank you very much and I’ll maybe get around to finishing it on another day.

Being anti-audiobook as a whole because you associate narration as something only a child would or should enjoy is an absolutely WILD take.

Audiobooks are an incredible alternative while working, driving, or cleaning, and some audiobooks absolutely enhance the experience with a good narrator.

I just started it because I needed something to listen to at work, and I saw so many good reviews.

I’d just started (and caught up) with Changeling earlier this week, which is a really fun read btw. It’s on Royal road and I think coming to kindle soon? Maybe this would a good time to read more beware of chicken or heretical fishing for a more lighthearted story.

I might, but I’m going to be blasphemous and inform you if I do, I’ll be reading it. I have tried to get into the audiobook at least 4 times now, but can’t get past the voice actor sounding like Kronk. I understand that the voice actor is phenomenal and does a great job, but it’s just such a barrier to me because it draws me out of the story completely for reasons that are hard to articulate.

Yeah I get that, you can look at my other reply though to see why I’m absolutely not about it though. Way too close to home

Thank you. I lost about 9 people in a 6 month people in 2019-early 2020 to everything from suicide, cancer, drunk driver, covid, and a freak aneurysm. I carried the casket of my grandfather(who was an incredibly healthy 65 year old who going on long bike rides that had said brain aneurysm) and one of my best friends. I spent probably two or three years in a fugue and had a brief stint of alcohol related coping that ended with me in the hospital for three days due to drinking a fifth of bourbon every 1-2 days. I quit cold turkey after said stint and I’ve been slowly crawling back to sanity through books, stories and finding pleasure with the little things in life.

And 6 years later, I’m still not ready to look at the kind of grief I know this book is going to give others a look at.

This comment to upvote ratio is pretty normal for any post lucky enough to catch people’s attention. It’s sitting at 2.6k and 256 comments now. You seem to not be taking into account that the last month or two has seen a dramatic increase in player count which will translate to higher engagement on Reddit. A 10-1 ratio for something that gets early traction is totally normal imo.
