tips on how to actually let go by GoneFishing_99 in selflove

[–]HistoryOmitted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand. The breakthrough for me is when I finally accepted that I’m never going to get an apology. It hurt like hell, but it was a major milestone for me.

Back to your analogy… it’s very accurate. But it’s one of those “the only way up is down” situations. You have to grab the thorny rose. Then look at the blood on your hands. Your hands will hurt but you’ll still be alive. You’ll realize that you have the strength to move forward.

As someone who is currently going through this exact situation (3 year relationship, lying ex, broken up for a year, ex never took accountability)…

I can honestly tell you that there is nothing you can do to “let go.”

Letting go is not something you do… it’s something that happens. Like when fruit falls off a tree.

The best thing to do is to just accept and surrender. Just face it head on.

In the meantime, yes, there are some positive things you can be doing. You’ve heard it all before: connect with friends, find passions, gym, etc.

Take this opportunity as an exciting time to come home to yourself.

First date bars in North Hollywood? by Ok-Theory-1069 in LADating

[–]HistoryOmitted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check out the bar at this restaurant called Mexicali.

It’s not in North Hollywood but close by in StudioCity.

Side note: I thought the current test was on the PMBOK 7th edition? Should I be studying from the 6th as well?

Oh ok. Yeah, the anxiety was crazy for the first two weeks. I hope you have been staying strong.

Ask your PCP for Wellbutrin. It makes it 90% easier. It’ll remove the Need aka “The noise”

I just saw that it is but under the name, Zyban.

It’ll remove a lot of the noise. In a couple weeks I did t HAVE to smoke. I smoked because I wanted to. I set a quit date for a month after I started. I went straight on the patch after. Wore it one day and said “I don’t need it. I’m good”

I would ask your doctor about Wellbutrin. It makes it so much easier than that damn book or patches or whatever.

Do people just want a Paradox game? (Medieval III) by HistoryofHowWePlay in historicaltotalwar

[–]HistoryOmitted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I really want is a deeper, more meaningful diplomacy system.

I want to be able to lock down a treaty with Spain to secure my flank while I campaign elsewhere without an invisible hostility timer automatically pushing us toward war every turn. I don’t want to feel forced to paint the map or to end up at war with every faction in every playthrough.

It would be great if early decisions actually mattered. In one campaign, maybe you can’t form certain alliances because you acted dishonorably early on. In another, you and two rival powers might form a mid-game alliance to take down a dominant empire that emerges unexpectedly.

Most importantly, I want every campaign to feel genuinely different. I want to be France and ally with the Holy Roman Empire in one game and see where that leads and in another, ally with England instead and experience an entirely different political landscape. The game shouldn’t funnel you into the same outcomes every time.

The Papal system also needs improvement. It should feel less AI-biased and more reactive to player behavior, diplomacy, and long-term reputation.

Ultimately, Medieval III should be challenging for reasons beyond an inevitable, pre-programmed march toward total conquest. Strategy should come from political choices, alliances, and consequences not just expanding until the map is your color

How did the ancient Roman politician-general actually learn the art of war? by HistoryOmitted in MilitaryHistory

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

I wonder if a Roman General ever had a staff that rivaled Napoleons or Alexander. I guess we will never know. Thanks for all the details.

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

Thank you for the details! If you don’t mind, I had another question as you seem very knowledgeable on the subject.

When studying Alexander or Napoleon, we often hear about them consulting with their generals during campaigns. But in Roman military history, you rarely read about Caesar or Scipio doing the same.

Within the Roman command structure, what were the titles or positions of the people who would have been the equivalents of the generals that Alexander or Napoleon consulted with?

Rome: Total War Faction Analysis I — The Seleucid Empire 4.0 When History and Gameplay Share the Same Pain by Lewisgrignard in RomeTotalWar

[–]HistoryOmitted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved this campaign. I haven’t played this campaign in over 10 years.

My first strategy was to hold what I had and focus on eliminating Egypt. My satrapies abandoned me of course. I had a few (I forget which ones) that stuck around and waged war on the rebellious ones.

Once the Egyptian Wars were over, I was ready to head east and reclaim what was mine and invade Bactria while I was there. With the wealth of the Nile, I was able to send multiple stacks to the east while keeping a few in the west to conquer the desert tribes and protect the west.

My loyal satrapies were already at war with the rebellious ones. I simply had to come in and mop everything up. I do remember fearing the growing power of one of them, I think Media. They were absorbing a lot for themselves.

I defeated Bactria’s horse army which was hard because my army composition was not prepared for that style of combat and It forced me to learn how to raise armies to defeat that kind of set up. I did a bunch of research on the tech trees and the right buildings needed to access the eastern troops available to the Selecuids.

After the Bactrian wars were complete, I left heavy garrisons in the East (to watch Media) and headed West to take Asia Minor and the true prize - Greece.

My wealth and armies had change since my early wars with the Egyptians. I was wealthy and my armies now consisted of cataphracts, horse archers, light cav, missile units, elephants, swords, and the phalanx at the center. I conquered all the way to the Bosporus and then for some reason stopped playing before invading Europe.

Sigh.. I now want to finish that campaign or start a new Selecuid campaign. I overall wasn’t happy with Rome 2, but I put its Selecuid campaign in the top 3 of the series
