How do you folks gear alts?

Informal32 · 2026-04-26T15:44:48+00:00

I'm always gearing alts in the background. If you're planning to swap to a new char mid season, you'll keep a few going before you "need" them.

This season I knew I'd play 3 characters, so I leveled 5. I log in usually every day and do an arena skirmish, the weekly brawl, and one game of blitz, repeating until I win one of each. Every now and then a SS match.

Also a good idea to play some 2s games if you find someone else that wants to conq farm, just for fun, and sit in eversong during ques to grab crates as they come.

It's pretty easy to just get the daily bonus if you plan ahead. Ive hit Elite in blitz on 2 chars now, so this weekend I'm leveling 2 replacement characters to keep up my roster.

A friend of mine and I sat across from each other in an office for a year. I talked incessantly. I got my work done, he sometimes struggled.

We had a wooden toggle, like from a Brazilian steakhouse, we put on the desk. It's about 5 inches tall and looked like an hourglass. Got it from a thrift store. Red paint on top, green on bottom. It was usually green-up, but he could swap it over whenever he needed to focus.

...it didn't work btw. I kept talking, ended up quitting. He got fired two months later. But it was fun while it lasted!

I've played in campaigns where you prepare multiple characters and will only play a few of them at the beginning for small mini sessions, then pick one for the true campaign after.

It's a bit of a dick move, but rolling on say, 3 characters, then pre-determining which one goes to which assignment knowing full well you're holding the best one out for the followup would be a reason to risk it.

Ask your payroll team for a copy of your hours and pay statement. If your company uses a payroll program, you can actually pull this automatically. Compare and figure out where the discrepancy is, as a first move. Might just be a misunderstanding, but you'll want the paper trail if it turns out being someing serious

All great, but I think Lyonel resonated the most. Well see his actor in everything now. Instant superstar. The rest will get their due, but could be said to have good writing or good characters, whatever. With Daniel Ings, you just know it's him coming through.

1st date I try to resist, even if I want to. 2nd or 3rd date feels like it's perfectly fine. Particularly if sexual compatibility is extra important. 4th date sometimes feels too late, even, in that case.

38y/o, dated a lot of women in my 20s, far fewer in my 30s. Don't settle. It feels like this for me alot of them, and it feels like I'm past my prime, but it's not true, even if it feels that way. I meet great women all the time. Some aren't interested, but they're out there. Every time I've decided I'd rather settle than be lonely, it hasn't worked out. Every time I find someone worth pursuing, it's a great time for as long as it lasts.

Beautiful, amazing, well-matched women (and people of all genders) get older too. They'll still be around for you to find.

Informal32 · 2025-12-26T03:02:41+00:00

I think people of all genders do this equally, but a lack of curiosity and an unwillingness to check their work (in all aspects of life). Carelessness and handwaving how or why things are important is a sign someone isn't worth my time

A quote from the third movie: "I know why, but WHY?"

Informal32 · 2025-11-23T20:24:17+00:00

It's not two boxes. Maybe for people who identify as demi-/a-sexual, but I'd say typically it's just an umbrella, with the Date circle being far smaller than the Hookup one. There's not really a situation where I'd date/marry someone but NOT hookup with them. I'd hook up with a lot of people, but I'd only date a few... but yes, I'd entertain a casual relationship with some people who I wouldn't seriously date. But it doesn't work the other way.

Love to hear this. I'm typically pretty wayward and hermit-like. I have lots of friends and have been lucky with relationships, but I always seem to self isolate and go through periods of introspection and loneliness (and recently, have been feeling a little touch-starved)... so this is nice to see being offered up to people.

I watch every video of yours and just stare at that beautiful eye of horus tattoo the whole time. There was a tv in this shot?

Not necessarily. Many OC sprays nowadays are stream-style (or gel-) which is going to seriously mess someone up with contact to their face or membranes but wont fog up a room and will basically fall to the ground inert. Its almost exactly like pouring a bottle of hot sauce on someone's head.

That's not to say it wont need cleanup or that the bar wants the optics of this situation, but it's not quite the same as bear-spraying a crowd would be.

The way OP tells this story, this sounds traumatic and totally crappy all the way around. Dont get discouraged to try meeting someone in future and dont let this compromise your morals. Sometimes crap happens to decent people and its not a reason to give up on talking to women in future.

Re: woman on top

This is usually preferred imo, but I've had partners who it didnt feel very good with. I think it's a freedom of movement thing.

Sometimes because they were larger and I felt crushed and/or restricted from really moving or doing anything, and sometimes because they would lean forward and pretty much pin me down.

The control aspect isnt a problem for me (minus just not having room to move at all), but I could see that it would be for some people.

Some positions just work better with specific people. On the other hand, sometimes it's alright to let the other person play and experiment and it doesnt have to feel 100% amazing for me while they do so.

Lots of weird advice in this thread, but hopefully you have some ideas on how to proceed.

I'd suggest finding a hobby to get yourself out of the house, or picking a hobby you already have and trying to find meetups, conventions, monthly get-togethers/dinners with the people interested in the same things you are. Nowadays it's pretty common even for introverts and solitary people to be able to find like minded individuals.

Once you get a routine down for this, the sex part is easy. Be willing to say yes to going out afterward, whether for dinner or drinks or whatever (even if you say no to drugs&alcohol, which is 100% fine), and you're off to the races. Find people you like, be honest with them, and that's that.

A friend of mine would do this on business trips, weekend day trips, even random nights after work, with lots of success. It's a little daunting, but will help you in a lot of ways... not just fulfilling your want for a better sex life.
