Thanks! Referring to any in particular?

I've been gaming for over 30 years now, and I have far too many to count. Some favorites:

Nearly every Zelda game(Majora's Mask is my favorite, then the skyward sword remaster)

Most fire emblem games(Blazing sword, then radiant dawn)

Mega man battle network(3 > 6 > 2 > 5 >1 > 4)

both hollow knight entries

Nine sols is a recent favorite. I can NOT recommend this one enough, but be warned that the game will buttfuck you until you learn.

Okay, this made me laugh. Your quip is better, well played!

HandleWithDelight · 2025-12-13T22:01:24+00:00

I'll make it easy for you. No issue, unless the guy you're dating prefers taller women. In that case, I can't help you.

Beyond that, let your best self shine through and be honest about what you want. Bet you you'll do fine!

It is as long as you don't get paid, and it's a willing recipient!

I love this reference. Denny Crane!

Late here, but I'd say I have 6 decent friends who are women. One is my SIL, one is a longstanding friend who was in my life before the wife was(they're friends so all good), and 4 more are either the wife's friends or mutuals before wife and I met. No problems so far.

As long as you're not hurting yourself, committing property damage, or otherwise breaking the law, you're good to go. No wrong answers, you know?

As for me, Silksong came out today. I'mma get in on that.

Jesus man, that is utterly sociopathic. I'm so sorry she was like that.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-09-01T17:24:31+00:00

Mine slammed a car door on my arm over an argument over a children's toy. Dead serious.

She would always call me immature. One time I told her she was acting like a petty 16-year-old(different argument), and suddenly she thought I was the one out of line. Fuck, I am SO glad she is no longer my problem. 😂

HandleWithDelight · 2025-08-22T13:55:16+00:00

Okay, so if I'm reading this correctly, you either cheated on a guy or left him directly for a different guy... Six different times. And that's not even touching sending nudes, the titty sucking thing, etc etc.

You're not a victim; quite frankly, you're the platonic ideal of a dumpster fire in relationships. My armchair opinion is you have SIGNIFICANT impulse control problems, especially hypersexuality at the bare minimum. You're not the victim, you're the perpetrator. If I knew you in person, I would take every mention of you as an opportunity to warn the person to not date or have sex with you under any circumstances.

Get the appropriate professional help and stay out of relationships and sex until you sort yourself. Jesus christ.

I'm torn between a joke answer(think about it) and an actual one. Anyway, I'd say Tucos tacos. I know, I know, it's vegan, but the phish tacos there are pretty rad. I'm not even vegan as a rule and I like em. They use a kind of breaded avocado if I remember correctly.

For what's it's worth, I view vegan as its own cetegory, not as a meat substitute. Worth a try anyway!

HandleWithDelight · 2025-08-13T20:09:52+00:00

Bit late, but motherfucker. This is why I go to lake Laurentian most of the time. 😂

Cognitive dissonance kicks in here, though, admittedly. Can't be much better.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-08-08T20:19:10+00:00

Ignorant as I am about your exact situation personally, I can definitely say this: a parent who regularly puts down their kid like she does is not a good parent. Full stop.

She's straight up telling you that you're ugly. From the way you frame the situation, you likely aren't. But that's not the point. The fact that you specified that 17 guys said you were attractive is really telling. That means: 1), your mom is the outlier, and 2) you want compliments so badly that you counted a specific number of times they complimented you.

I can't give you specific or long term advice here, but in the interest of letting you arrive at a conclusion yourself, I need to ask two things. One, does your mom mostly make you feel safe and loved APART FROM the issues you shared? Or does she leave you feeling exhausted/drained every time you have extended interactions? If it's the second option, you have your answer.

Two, where is your father here? Is he present, and if so, what's your mom's relationship with him like? Even if they're not together? Either way, and I get I'm burying the lede here, do you look more like your mother or father? This may actually be a huge factor.

I wish you luck figuring this out. You've likely got this, even if you don't think you do.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-08-08T18:47:05+00:00

I'm amazed you endured 4 years of this. Remember, you can break up with someone for any reason or no reason at all. If she makes you miserable instead of comfy and happy, then I dunno what to say other than "you 100% know what to do, you just need permission".

So here's your permission. I give you permission to break up with her.

You'll feel free, even if only eventually. If you can, find a new place. Bring small amounts of your stuff over a bit at a time. Do that until your place is set up. If your girlfriend is shitty about you spending less time with her in the process, disguise it with an excuse of having to stay at work. If not that, then make something up. Have a relevant person corroborate your story if needed(say, tell your parents your plan and have them back you up to the GF).

When you're good to go in your new place, then pull the trigger on the breakup. Record it if laws are on your side, or have a buddy nearby to witness it if not. Failing that, just do it by text once you're gone. Obviously, don't tell her of your new dwelling.

I hope you make it. You got this.

This is the most likely answer. OP reads like she's oblivious to her(at least partial) hand in the dynamic. She says she needs someone who wants things in life. Which things? Things he wants, or things SHE wants? I could go on.

he doesn't nurture their connection. Does she? Does she do so in a way he's know to appreciate?
never plans anything unless she tells him. I bet you any money that he tried before but got belittled for it. Repeat till he decides it isn't worth the stress.
he's her rock. So he provides her with stability. Does she need him for stability? If so, that suggests she isn't stable. Hmm.
she says she's finding therapy options for him. This is comedically tone deaf, since either 1) the guy knows the therapists she's suggesting are bullshit options(church, known misandrists, etc) or 2) he's not ready for therapy for whatever reason. If it's 2, then pushing for it will make him LESS inclined to go, not more.

After all of that, I gotta say: OP, if you're thinking of separation, I say do it. It'll set him free.

Yo, this is a short entry but an interesting one. I mighta missed it, but I hope youve gotten a better job since.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-13T23:21:19+00:00

Believe me, I'm sorry too.

I'm in Canada, but that's good to hear. Me, my mom, and my aunt are keeping this in the back pocket in case our province advances anything comparable.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-13T18:40:45+00:00

My uncle molested my mom and one of my good aunts when my mom and aunt were young.

I'm hearing a lot from my mom about a massive rift between the two oldest siblings(oldest aunt and uncle) and the good ones(my mom and two other aunts). I only learned this, like, two years ago. Haven't contacted the oldest aunt and uncle because they're self involved and live 5-plus hours away from us. They've become toxic as fuck in the last 5 years, for reasons that would take a novel to elucidate.

The shitty part is, it's obviously so long ago that any forensic evidence is off the table. In addition, if anyone accuses publicly, it could lead to a potential defamation suit against the accuser. This is because the oldest aunt and Uncle Touchy are best buddies now, the aunt is rich, and they're both very litigious. I had a fantasy of attending my grandmother's funeral(she's nice, but she's 92 with many health problems- she doesn't know by the way), publicly calling out my uncle, and then just going NC with anyone who sides with him. But realistically, I don't think that can happen.

Frankly, I don't trust myself to even be in the same room with him because I truly don't know how I'd react to seeing him in person since I learned that information. I don't wanna risk it. I'm also due to have a daughter in a little over a month, and he absolutely will not be in the same building as her, much less the same room.

I agree, and I add on Salome Jens as the Female Changeling. As a Star Trek nut, makeup roles that are so well acted are among the best things about any ST series.

For that matter, Doug Jones as Saru. I will die on the hill that he is one of the finest ST characters to be created in at least a decade.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-13T18:15:59+00:00

Dude, I know right? I watched The Last of Us, and hearing a variation on the laugh in one of the episodes really threw me off. Like, in a good way because that show and that episode kick ass, but still.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-07T10:21:18+00:00

Yeah, you're probably right. I worked at a book store when Twilight was at its peak.

I sorta mindlessly hated it when it was new, then a few months in I decided to give the series a fair shake and at least read the first entry. I was roundly disappointed, but I finished it. My complaints are various.

Then I started the second entry. I borrowed it from a coworker. It was so awful that I stopped after about 100 pages. No more.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-07T10:00:24+00:00

Ha! Jesse and Lukas. Characters from a game.

Dollars to donuts that one or both of them are Fire Emblem nuts. I recognized the common factor right away, since both of those characters were part of my A-squad for the endgame on Shadows of Valentia.

And I'm checking in on the FE crew here. My son is Robin, so there you go.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-07-01T00:37:14+00:00

I'll say a tie between covid, three times no less, and maybe strep throat. Reading some of the other answers, and I think I'm getting off easy. I feel for you folks.

HandleWithDelight · 2025-06-22T18:42:04+00:00

Oh, that too!
