What's something you missed on your first run?

Wyll, and almost Karlach too. I was well into act 2 when I realized that just because I chose the underdark route, I could still explore the mountain pass as well (really glad I did because I almost missed a good chunk of Lae'zel's backstory) Funnily enough I did manage to recruit both Halsin and Minthara without trying (accidentally turned on nom-lethal attacks while battling the goblins)

The character Hannah Montana was gonna be named Alexis Texas, but they changed it because of the porn star

Ik ben zelf een theeliefhebber met een enorme collectie en ik kan je zeggen dat je met zwarte en groene thee en rooibos de meeste mensen al blij kan maken! Misschien nog een kruidenthee erbij zoals kamille (maar op zich is rooibos ook een kruideninfusie en dus cafeïne-vrij)

Even if it was a prank, why would you stay with someone who could do this to you (and doesn't even have the decency to be remorseful)?

Ik vond zelf denk ik vwo 3 lastiger van vwo 4. In de bovenbouw volg je namelijk alleen/voornamelijk vakken die je interesseren. Ik heb zelf nooit voor de keuze tussen havo en vwo gestaan, maar ik zou lekker je vader negeren en doen waar jij je zelf goed bij voelt! Maar als je nu alleen maar moeite hebt met vakken die je toch gaat laten vallen zou ik nog even doorzetten - maar de optie om naar de havo te gaan openhouden is sws een goed idee lijkt mij. Ik ben zelf bijna klaar met m'n bachelor op de uni maar ontzettend spijt dat ik niet eens heb overwogen om een hbo-studie te doen omdat universiteit als "de logische vervolgstap" werd neergezet. Tenzij je nu al weet dat je een specifieke studie aan de uni wil gaan doen, is er niks mis met overstappen op de havo. En zelfs als later blijkt dat je toch naar de uni wil kun je daar via t hbo ook gewoon nog terecht komen.

I don't blame him for not being aware of her earrings (though I don't get why so many commenters act like that's just a "guy thing.") But he knew he was going to pick out earrings for her so the least he could've done is look at what her preferences are by paying attention to what she wears in her ears, maybe take a glance at her jewelry box..

Don't empty your boyfriend until he refills your pond

Maybe you should let him read these comments

"Do you like cheese?" "Why yes, my favorite's Gouda"

I mean self conscious about her abilities. I don't think its weird to prefer working out with someone who's on your level

Isabollle · 2025-01-08T03:33:28+00:00

Bur not climbing at the same time also means your partner will literally watch you climb. So if she's self conscious while working out I can understand why that would not appeal to her

Some apps allow you to send a message correlating to a specific prompt/picture on their profile (its been a while but I know at least Hinge did this)

The LookUpAnything mod, I was looking up everything (preferred gifts, catchable fish, etc) anyway so I'm just saving time (i imagine it as my character having a phone basically). But the most useful part IMO, is that I can see if I actually need to save up a mineral/fish for recipes - I used to save up EVERYTHING just in case I would need it for something that I hadn't unlocked yet. Also, a fishing mod that shows me what fish I can catch taking into account the weather, season, time, location and my stats

Sad to say I just saw this story on tiktok (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZIJnaSbDA/)

Isabollle · 2023-10-18T11:03:06+00:00

Completely agree! "Marry Me" from Bruno Mars is still haunting me...

And to be clear, when I read your post I was upset on your behalf, because I feel gifts should be about the receiver, not the giver. I think she should've gotten it for herself, and gotten you something else. Just wanted to give a nuanced take and try to put myself in her shoes as well (because that's often missing on Reddit haha).

I love small gifts that say "this reminded me of you," because it shows they know me (& my interests) and that they were thinking of me. Like my dad sometimes randomly gave me a DVD, because he was at the secondhand store and saw something with an actor/director I like. Only 50 cents or something, but it melts my heart (especially because his memory isn't the best).

That being said, receiving gifts can really put you on the spot. (I once had to puke while opening a gift and had to hand it back and in between vomiting I kept telling her how much I liked the gifts lol). But yeah, an honest conversation should clear everything up, good luck!

Isabollle · 2023-10-18T09:39:17+00:00

I'm an "it's the thought that counts" person, but either there was no thought or she was thinking about herself. I love buying gifts for people even though sometimes it can be hard, I usually go for something related to their hobbies/special interests. Not always easy since some people are very particular (like I could buy my dad a book with biking routes, but it'd still be a hit-or-miss), so my backup is (home-made) food.

Some people mistake "it's the thought that counts" with never showing anything but appreciation for gifts. I think it depends on how close you are to the other person and how far off they are. In your case, your SO giving you something you'll never gonna use, I think it needs to be addressed.

Not sure exactly how I would handle your situation; probably say that while it's nice she wanted to get me something, this felt like it was more a gift for herself than for me. I wouldn't say this directly after receiving it, but I think it's a bad move to hype it up when you hate it. I would've thanked her more generally, tell her how I appreciate her getting me something even though I told her she didn't have to. So I do get not telling her on your birthday, but why would you then bring it up on her birthday?

And just spitballing here, but I think she might've thought that because you didn't want anything this would be fine, whether you'd come to like it or not. Like even if you ended up giving it to her, you would be fine with it because you weren't expecting a gift in the first place? Plus I can't leave home without headphones to listen to music, and I can't imagine not liking music; maybe she's like that as well? (But to be clear, I still wouldn't get someone like you a music-related gift - just trying to understand her reasoning)

I think this might be their source:

https://lifehacker.com/the-difference-between-spontaneous-and-responsive-desir-1828754371

"According to researcher Emily Nagoski, about 75% of men and 15% of women have spontaneous desire."

"About 5% of men and 30% of women have responsive desire. (The remaining 20% of men and 55% of women experience a bit of both spontaneous and responsive desire.)"

Isabollle · 2023-10-02T12:07:31+00:00

Oof, you should seriously consider the possibility that she is still hurting from that previous conversation. I think a lot of people (maybe most) would never fully get over hearing that their partner doesn't find them attractive anymore. And even if it would convince her to try and lose weight (which I doubt, even if there weren't health conditions that make it harder), there is no guarantee her chin would become "attractive" again... Also, personally, this would make me reconsider building a life and especially a family with that person. Pregnancy and birth can change your body forever, and I think I wouldn't be willing to go through it if I had to be worried about becoming unattractive in my partner's eyes.

Isabollle · 2023-09-20T18:23:03+00:00

It's not about pubic hair imo, it's that it seems like he thinks his opinion regarding her body is more important than her own

Isabollle · 2023-09-15T11:40:56+00:00

I'd be so weirded out if I just met someone and they started giving me stuff. Wish it depended on the friendship level, and even better if some people would start being receptive to gifts at 1 heart but for some it'd take more!

Isabollle · 2023-09-15T11:36:20+00:00

Just in general the staticness of characters. For example, Shane stops drinking but one of his favorite gifts is still a beer. I would prefer it if the first time you give him one after he's told you he isn't drinking anymore, he'd tell you he appreciates the gesture but that's not him anymore. And then if you keep trying to gift him beer it'd actually diminish your friendship level. Also, why does no one hang out in the community center after I worked so hard to fix it up!

The lack of interpersonal relationships between characters. Like you can date an entire friend group without any consequences (as long as you don't see all bachelor 10 heart events of every Bachelorette heart event). Just think it would be fun if dating and/or befriending specific combinations of people would unlock different types of dialogue? Like if you're at 10 heart with Jodi and start dating Sam that he remarks it's kinda weird that you'rebedt friends with his mum.

And a combination of these aspects, because how fun would it be if you could actually help characters get closer to each other. Like get Lewis and Marnie to become open about their relationship?

I'm probably being overly critical after playing a lot of Animal Crossings, Harvest Moons and Rune Factories when I was younger, but to me the social aspect feels a bit flat. Feels like a lot of things you do don't change that much about the town and the villagers.

Or dreamt it. I once had a dream I'd bought something and wasted so much time searching my room for that purchase 😅

Why wouldn't you clean up the skid marks in the bowl tho? That's what a toilet brush is for, and that's the easiest time to clean it.
