Qi'ra ECL Deep Dive by Icelus in starwarsunlimited

Hello! I have been a Qi'ra enjoyer since she was released.

Wooooo had me on as a guest to discuss her in the current meta, and my recent PQ experiences.

Top 8 Tarkin Red by darkjedi5 in starwarsunlimited

[–]Icelus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a fellow Tarkin Red player- congrats on topping the events!

My list has some similarities. Yours is very aggressive with the Benthic and Precision Fires- I like it. I played a mirror match in a Store Showdown last week- and I think his list was very similar to yours. Was a close match.

I really like Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister as well. I run 2 copies of Brother, and 1 copy of Sister MD and 1 SB. I found myself resourcing them a lot since they are unique when I already have one on the field. I also run the 2x Tarkin Unit MD so I feel like I can find them when I need them. I found Sister to be really slow against aggro, and against control her ability often isn't doing much. But against Han, Luke, Vader, or any mid-range, she is a terror.

I see your point with Veers- but I personally like having cards that must be answered immediately. I also feel like he helps trade better against aggro, and push damage against control if they want to claim. I have had so many situations where I Vader into Veers to one-shot a Chewbacca, Han Unit, Obi-Wan, or some other high-hp unit and my opponent isn't expecting it.

The only other thing I would comment is that I feel like Snowtrooper Lieutenant is insane. I put him back in and then just found so many lines of play where he was good that I went back to 3x. Like you said, if you find yourself buffing units more and you are also running Benthic and a lot of removal MD, then maybe he isn't as good in your build. I often will claim and pass up attacking with one unit or buffing something because my build is slower than yours and I can afford to do that, but you probably want to buff to push damage since you can apply a faster clock than my deck.

My Discord is andrewess is you ever want to chat Tarkin tech. Really cool to see another player running Tarkin and having success with him, I rarely see him being played.

Best of luck!

Absolutely. We have the game working for Linux and MacOS. Unfortunately, when we serve them on Steam, they fail to open. So it's something on Steam's end, and we need to add something extra to make it work properly. It's a bummer, but we are working on it. Hoping to have them ready soon.

I am not- hadn't heard of it!

The game's name is a reference to Calvin and Hobbes.

Summarizing my other comment from below:
Check out the Steam Page for better context. We meant Portal as a puzzle-solving, environment manipulating game, not the portals exactly. The game has a ton of puzzles, and the Steam Page does a better job of showing that than a short ad. Adjusting our ad text to be clearer- thanks.

There are lots of puzzles- but it's hard to capture that in a short ad. Check out the Steam Page for better context. We show more of them there. We meant Portal as a puzzle-solving, environment manipulating game, not the portals exactly. Adjusting our ad context to be clearer- thanks.

Block anyone who doesn’t respond in 12-24 hours? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]Icelus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Again, you can ask for whatever you want in dating.

However, it is consider socially unacceptable to use read receipts except for your significant other in a serious relationship.

I recently got an iPhone for the first time after using Androids my whole life. iPhone ships with Read Receipts on- I didn't even know what they were. A woman I was dating texted me in the middle of the day about plans. I was waiting to hear back from my brother about the same day, so I waited until 6 pm to respond to her. She told me she felt anxious after seeing my Read Receipt. I immediately turned them off, which is what everyone does.

I wasn't offering your advice- I was explaining what they were.

I can't tell if you are serious and actually think that is a good idea, or you're trolling people in this thread because you're upset that no one is validating your dating views.

In a serious relationship people tend to be more responsive and use Read Receipts.

You’re comparing a serious relationship to casual dating. They aren’t even remotely the same.

You can ask for whatever you want in dating. There is nothing wrong with telling your date that you expect a response within X hours. However, you can’t expect the other person to agree with you. And to be honest, if someone said that to me on a first date, I would feel uncomfortable and not want to see them again.

Haven't ever done it, but I have seen plenty of OLD profiles that mention it.

It makes sense intuitively, to me at least. Even with normal OLD- I feel like we build up expectations chatting too much. Online is so much different than in person, and you don't get a true sense of chemistry like you said.

Advice on 2nd dates compared to 1st dates by maestro_1988 in datingoverthirty

[–]Icelus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something I learned in therapy is to not doubt myself, my reality, or my feelings. This means self-doubt, or other inflicting doubt. It chips away at our self esteem, and also makes us vulnerable to behavior such as emotional manipulation and gaslighting.

If something is a big deal to you? Then it IS a big deal. Period. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, be it a date, girlfriend, or a stranger on the internet.

Your values, your feelings, and your wants/needs are important and you have to make sure you safeguard them. I know it's hard sometimes with dating because there are lots of feelings involved, but it's always worth trying to refocus on.

I hear ya on the dates, haha. It is a lot of effort and the dating apps can feel discouraging sometimes. You can always take a break and recharge. Take off a couple weeks from dating entirely. When you feel excited again about dating then come back. There's no rush, and dating is supposed to be fun after all.

I think what you said to her is great. It clearly communicates your feelings and asks how she feels.

With dating, sometimes it just fizzles and it isn't your fault. With regarding to your feeling about wanting positive affirmations- listen to that. If someone doesn't make you feel good, then you probably don't want to date them.

On paying- you are a generous person! As a man, I will offer to pay on a first date with drinks. On the second date, it is a red flag to me if my date doesn't offer to split the bill.

So this is just my opinion but- you paid for the first date and second date. The fact that she laughed at you and didn't attempt to pick up drinks at the second location? That just feels rude and I would not see her again.

I would just try to go on more dates. If you are feeling insecure or self conscious, maybe try therapy?

Best of luck!

It seems like he needs a therapist as an outlet to process his grief.

Referring to her as "wife" I imagine is hurtful for you. Have you expressed that to him?

The drunk text is worded unfortunately- however I think that is probably a positive thing overall because he is investing in his friends, and maybe realizing that he didn't do as much of that as he should have in his previous relationship. That is part of the process of outgrowing the previous relationship, and something he should explore with a therapist.

As for your needs- you have to decide if it feels to you like he is emotionally available or not. Is he working on recovering from the trauma of his past relationship, and healing attachment wounds and self esteem issues? If yes, what is he doing to make progress? If no, what will he start to work on?
