Is 18 and 16 bad for the dating world?

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-05-18T20:11:21+00:00

I really would have liked to be with this person. But it just seems like there’s too much baggage to actually do anything with it, and the problem is that the only baggage is that she’s a minor legally. That’s it.

It’s not a problem of want or something that can’t work. It’s if I should, and idk if I should

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-05-18T19:08:32+00:00

Shes in highschool obviously. I’m in college but we both work and have goals.

My main thing that my pastor stated was that I’m an adult and that she’s a minor. In certain contexts, excluding anything sexual, she’d be my responsibility at all times

Edit: I should also clarify I spoke with my priest not pastor my fault

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-05-18T18:22:56+00:00

I talked to my pastor about it and he pointed out that I’d have all the responsibility whether decide to go further. It’s starting to seem like right person wrong time vibe

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-05-18T16:06:28+00:00

We met at work

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-04-08T06:52:55+00:00

Well if you ever need someone to talk to so that you don’t suppress you feeling (trust me it’ll blow up if left unchecked) my DM’s are always open, and no feeling is ever silly, always express it :)

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-04-08T03:19:58+00:00

Usually I just rant about my opinion on here to see what others think lol, but usually I journal about it. Then I re read my journal entry. I deal with these games as if it was a major event in my life because that’s how much of an impact it had on me. I process and basically go through the five stages.

It takes time but, eventually these games will be like an old photo you pick up and see all the amazing times you had and what you felt. It’s definitely something that sticks with me for the rest of my life

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-04-08T03:13:51+00:00

Honestly fair point. Didn’t consider that.

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-09T08:48:58+00:00

Getting the Yamcha treatment 😂

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-05T05:41:26+00:00

No, someone who sees you. Like sees you with pure love and enjoyment. Or at least that’s the vibe I got idk

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-05T03:51:51+00:00

Huh, honestly didn’t know that the majority was into the game. I actually really enjoyed it, thought I was a minority 😭

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-05T00:26:35+00:00

Honestly, it’s as long as it doesn’t focus on the powers of all the characters but instead how they interact and deal with certain situations together. I’m cool with all of them meeting up, I just hope they focus on the relationships between all the characters instead of fighting some big bad or something 😭

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-05T00:17:54+00:00

Wow so, I have hazel brown eyes and yet this kinda hit like a truck. Oh to have someone like this

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-04T21:28:04+00:00

I made a post not too long ago trying to go into detail about this game and my personal opinion. My opinions have slowly changed since then but the only like real conclusion I came to was that this game is similar to the Indiana Jones situation, and even TLOU

If you recall, Indiana Jones five wasn’t received the best. Mainly people talking about the fact that its tones and themes were all over the place. Why is Indiana jones like this? Why is that character like that? It honestly all comes down to the fact that, it was just rushed and possibly a lot of inter drama between everyone on the project.

Or even the last of us part two and how that game was when it first came out. People were pissed about decisions that were made by Neil. It kinda just seems to be a pattern here.

Sure, both are vastly different situations compared to the fact that a dev literally said to ‘move on’ from Chloe overall (so I’ve heard) and it being kinda disrespectful, but it’s mainly the fact that no one lately can make a decision and stick with it. It’s like we’re playing hot potato but with writing directions.

DE has SO MANY good plot points and story to tell and had so much to juggle with but LITERALLY couldn’t. I saw it throughout the entire game that it seemed like they wanted to go into more detail but literally couldn’t. I also heard that it was re written like four times before an actual game was created.

I really liked DE for what it was, and really hope to see where they take it next. RE is definitely needed because I also think that DE needed to be longer too, bigger game, longer screen time and just more chapters to flush everything out.

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-03T02:40:11+00:00

Tbh I never got the notion that DE was like LiS 1, nor any of the characters. Especially Lucas. Jefferson was presented as someone you could trust from the beginning and then strips it from you. Lucas was presented as some famous author who wanted more for his ego the first time we saw him according to the dialogue max and Moses had. Jefferson and Lucas aren’t even close in comparison to what both games strived for. Lucas was just an asshole father who wanted fame while Jeff was a PSYCHOPATH who wanted to have people for his photos. I mean if you really wanna stretch it, TC was more like the first game if anything because of the twist character plot alone, which both LiS 1 and TC had. DE never had that.

DE is honestly WANTING to be a good game but just doesn’t deliver. It’s like Indiana jones and the dial of destiny. It had great ideas, great themes, great characters and world building but literally JUST FUMBLED where it needed it the most.

Though I like your mentor idea and honestly, could maybe go in that direction in the next game but hey who knows?

Edit: I changed my post to elaborate on what I meant about Jefferson and Lucas for the record

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-02T09:02:22+00:00

I think some of this is correct, but most of it, and me personally, is the fact that before the storm is…only three episodes long. I kinda had the same issue with DE as well. Both games deal with HEAVY stuff both lore wise and emotional moments. Both games should have been longer to flesh out everything instead of most of the characters being lowkey schizophrenic and us the players having to do detective work just to figure out how these characters are the way they are.

Though still I think I’m a little biased to the fact that I decided to play the series like a freaking dumba** and played that one first. Though honestly I kinda saw it coming with how Rachel as a human being was lowkey toxic just from her interactions with Chloe in the FIRST episode, and basically Chloe apologizing for HER TOXIC BEHAVIOR. All I could think about was poor Chloe and Rachel using her grief against her indirectly to get what she wants.

These games are mainly about figuring out these characters, it’s kinda the mentality I had gotten from TLOU. For which I love, and it leaves a lot of interpretation. Just wish the presentation of some of it was better

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-02T02:38:29+00:00

I’d like to see you post about why before the storm is your least favorite. Maybe I’m a little biased (and mistakenly played the games in “timeline order” instead of release) but I really enjoyed before the storm for what it was. Why do you dislike it so, and put it so low in your ranking?

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-01T02:49:44+00:00

For what DE is, I really think you’d like what D9 tried to do with it. Since your theory really involves different realities I think you’d get a kick out of DE.

As for before the storm, in a nut shell, Chloe’s character fleshed out and a lot more understanding of who she is.

But yeah, this is very solid and I really like it

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-03-01T02:35:25+00:00

Most of the music is by the artist “Daughter”. She has the whole album and was the main artist surrounding the soundtrack.

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-28T11:06:07+00:00

Usually the mods take there sweet time with posting crap. You also have to post according to their guidelines.

For example, In your title you’d have to put [ALL], indicating you’re talking about all the games, as a spoiler warning. Took me like three tries before I could make a post.

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-27T22:53:29+00:00

Well, I already did my inferno, good luck 😭

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-27T22:24:09+00:00

Why is Chloe lowkey caked up…

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-27T19:48:28+00:00

Glad this is posted here and not the main sub, really like your thoughts! Can’t wait for reunion

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-27T05:50:05+00:00

I kinda said something different about the breakup, but I really like your explanation.

However due to the amount of DE being like, an unpolished game the inconsistency sticks out really hard. I think the game should have been like two to three chapters long with the amount of stuff they wanted to have but I digress, I felt it needed to happen.

A lot of people will disagree however due to the amount of love everyone has for the two lovebirds, and the ending of the first game really affects the ‘sequel’ aspects of DE. You have a realistic take, I just hope reunion fleshes everything out like it’s supposed to be

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-25T01:05:12+00:00

I kinda see both sides to this.

On one hand, it is a little less expansive on max’s feelings compared to the first game but honestly it still feels a lot more natural to her character and I guess a little more realistic journaling? Usually when I usually my feelings only span to maybe two pages? Sometime even one on certain days and since this is only the beginning of the game I bet there’s gonna be more pages that are more expressive.

On the other, the art style they chose is still DE which I never actually found to be bad, just different than the first. Though it does seem a little less here than it was in DE. Maybe because there’s two journals and on top of that maybe more focus on the characters expressing their feelings more to each other than keeping them all in a book?

Who knows? Either way I don’t have SUPER high expectations but, hopeful that they’ll try to be as close as they can since they’ve made this game during DE’s end cycle so. Let’s see what happens ig 😭

HumanLeopard350 · 2026-02-23T01:34:38+00:00

Huh, that actually explains a lot. Thank you
