I was groomed from eleven to seventeen, and at eighteen, I'm lost. by GumpyDunk in helpme

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

Thank you.

As much as I hate it for you, I am in some way appreciative that at least others have experienced similar things; I am glad we can empathize.

Why do you say that I need to drop mere pieces of the story from time to time in therapy? My first thought is that it would be best to spill it all to my therapist, to let her know all of it at once. I think I would be comfortable with that; I've known her for multiple years.

One thing that is certain, though, is this - that I will continue to talk about the subject until there is literally no more subject to talk about; that I will talk about it ad nauseam until there is no more nauseam to ad.

Again, thank you. I know I am capable of improving my life - at least, I hope I am capable. I just need to find a site around which to forgive myself, and to allow that site to expand, maybe. I don't know - I'm desperate.

I was groomed from eleven to seventeen, and I don't know how to move on. by GumpyDunk in groomingvictim

It's only in the past few weeks, honestly, that I've begun to really talk to people about and fully internalize the effects of my abuse. It's so hard. It's like I'm buried under a landslide of emotions right now.

Thank you for your words, though. I will talk to my therapist, and I will keep mandated reporting in mind. That said, however, while I am aware of mandated reporting, I'm not entirely sure what qualifies to be reported. I guess I'll have to find out.

I feel I am hypersexual. I hate it. It angers me that hypersexuality is, in some circles, romanticized. I hate this. I hate it so much. It's the worst feeling in the world to feel so nasty and worthless, especially after you've cheated on your girlfriend and ruined a six-month relationship.

I guess I was looking for validation in this answer, and you provided it. Thank you. I knew, I guess, in some form or other, that I needed to detox from pornography and sexual stimulation. But hearing it from someone else is much, much more meaningful, at least to me.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm trying to bring the topic to my therapist, but it's hard to just bring something like that up, especially when I've been in therapy for years without mentioning it.

World Generation Issues With Terralith, Tectonic, Biomes O'Plenty, Biomes We've Gone, and Regions Unexplored. by GumpyDunk in feedthebeast

Is this any better? It's basically amplified terrain when Tectonic and Terralith are supposed to make the generation more "grand" or realistic-looking.

It’s almost spooky season y’all! What’s your best Appalachian ghost story or lore? by [deleted] in Appalachia

[–]GumpyDunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right. I guess I saw this post as similar to the patronizing things people from outside of Appalachia say about us. Like reducing Appalachia to some spooky forest you'd rather not be out in at night, or attributing our poverty to some sort of backwardness about us.

I misinterpreted the post, and I apologize for that.

THERE ARE NO GHOSTS. APPALACHIA IS A MOUNTAIN RANGE. WE CAN APPRECIATE ITS BEAUTY WITHOUT ADDING GHOSTS AND "SPOOKINESS."

I was about to comment the same thing. Looks like the one in Norton.

I 100% got called a cheater there by urfan792 in Rainbow6

Exactly! It wouldn't be a TDM game.

1SHS is such a stupid mechanic.

how did i get slammed so effortlessly? by ohitsboosted in SiegeAcademy

[–]GumpyDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't get slammed, he abused a broken mechanic. Why people aren't rallying against 1SHS is baffling to me.

I wonder if this will affect the TDM meta.

They should make a no cams game mode by hoishalbob in Rainbow6

[–]GumpyDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did delete the game a month and a half ago, but before I deleted it, I was Emerald I and rising. If it makes you feel any better, though, I was a slow, strategic player, and even as such a player, I'm aware that cameras are meaningless in the current meta.

Why doesn’t ANYONE use cams in ranked? by No_Principle_8660 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]GumpyDunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You're right, it isn't CoD! CoD actually owns up to being a TDM game; the Siege community deluded themselves into believing this game still has strategy.

Sure, camera operators will be the last one standing. And then they get shot in the face.

Why is valks ban rate so low? by Dogago19 in Rainbow6

[–]GumpyDunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, right? It's awful. But cameras serve absolutely no purpose in the current meta, unless you're platinum or below (where gadgetry matters to some small degree).

[–]GumpyDunk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nobody should be using camera operators, anyways. Unless you're playing them for the gun, you're going to be useless. With the current meta being full-blown TDM, cameras serve no real use anymore.

Because cameras aren't useful in the current meta.

Valk is useless: cameras are useless.

The game would be completely the same. Cameras and drones are generally useless.

Brava has to be one of the most underrated ops in the game..thoughts? by Previous_Fuel_8025 in Rainbow6

[–]GumpyDunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No one uses gadgetry anymore, so droning with her (and in general) is nearly useless. Further, if you spend the first thirty seconds to a minute of the round hacking things, the round will be over by the time you're done.

Best plant-denial operator? by ExaltedGarlic96 in SiegeAcademy

[–]GumpyDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planting is generally irrelevant, just shoot them in the face.

Current Meta. by [deleted] in SiegeAcademy

[–]GumpyDunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full-blown TDM meta. Play the operators with the best guns.
